Re: Free GPS!!!!!!!

AmazeGPS is in alpha for WM6, and "alpha" is a fair description of what you will get right now. The maps look very strange, the Demo navigation proceeded at a snail's pace and took some odd turnings, the application did not remember that I lived in the US and kept offering me Andorra, and on some screens the input keyboard appeared under the application screen instead of over it. In terms of smoothness of operation on my Mogul, Google Maps and Live Search have set the bar very high and Amaze has some way to go.

Nevertheless, it was unusual to hear free voice navigation on a free GPS app. I won't say I was amazed -- pleasantly surprised might be nearer the mark. But -- as I say -- this is an alpha. It will be interesting to see what Amaze comes up with if the company persists.
