After 24 hours, they will charge you the data rates. It's like 31 cents a Kb so be carefull!

From the FAQs: http://navigation.sprint.com/planreq.html

Q: How do I find/purchase Sprint Navigation?
A: Sprint users must subscribe to a data plan in order to use Sprint Navigation. If you already have a data plan, click here to learn how to download Sprint Navigation.

If you do not already have a data plan, you can sign up for one by doing one of the following:

* Go to the www.sprint.com and sign in to "My Sprint Wireless" to upgrade to a Power Vision Data Plan that includes Navigation
* Call 1-800-SPRINT1 to upgrade to a Power Vision Data Plan or purchase Sprint Navigation for $9.99/month *
* Go to a store and ask to upgrade to a Power Vision Data Plan or purchase Sprint Navigation for $9.99/month *

*Note: Without a data plan, Sprint Navigation will incur data usage costs.

if you already have unlimited data, then you can use nav till your eyes bleed and it won't cost you a cent.

This is not correct. Like he originally said, if you do not have a data package then you get charge $.03 per KB. With just a normal data plan without Nav embedded in, you will be forced to pay either $2.99 a day or $9.99 a month. It will prompt you to do this after your 24 hour trial period. Some plans have Navigation that goes with the data plan and you will not be charged, however I am not sure about the sero. Call customer care and ask, if you do not have Navigation, there should be a $10 attachment that can be added that will give you Nav, TV and Radio at no additional charges. This is something they add to employee accounts so I am assuming the same code may work for your sero. Good luck.

If that $10 attachable works just as it would on an employee account then yes. Otherwise I am not sure. I am trying to find out the info as we speak. I will update once I find out the correct info.
