I have downloaded the tom tom 7 from this site but its not free...Before I go out and pay for a service I would like to see whats out there...maybe they will fit my needs?
Since I bought that nice phone, I've been searching for that. I think Microsoft Live Search is one of the good for free, and the more precise. Where I live, it is a new development, and Google is showing far less streets than Live Search.

And, I tried everything to get my GPS working. I hard reset twice.

Finally, my recipe is

1) Go into Settings, Personal, Phone, Services, Location Settings, and turn to On.
2) Install BeeLineGPS, to get your GPS autoconfigured, so you know which settings are best for your phone (Port and Baud).
3) Use Microsoft Live Search.

Now I get a fix in less than 5 sec., OK for most people.

Hope this will help.
