I need to find out if sprint navigation is included in my SERO plan or not. I was supposed to get free powervision, but I don't know if the telenav stuff is included or if i'll be locked down to a free trial.

The software looks great but NO WAY am I going to pay $9.99/month for it when I can just pirate tomtom....did I just say that out loud?

yeah, after paying 600 for my phone, and going through all this bs with serious problems, i'm not paying 10 bucks a month just for that.

Sounds like you live in Metro Detroit!

If you have an Unlimited Sprint Vision Pack (which all SERO plans have), my understanding is that you get navigation at no extra cost. I have seen this question asked by SERO users with phones that already have Nav (Non-PDA phone).

So don't worry about it until they say you have to pay in the program, and if that happens call Sprint because its probably just a mistake.

Yeah unfortunately. I am near 6 Mile and Farmington.

Sounds like you have either spent some time here or are from here as well. :)

I just used iGuidance on a 2 hour trip. On the way there I used the internal GPS and it was poor at best. It wouldn't refresh unless I tapped the screen and even then it was jumpy and wouldn't move while I was driving. It seemed like the refresh rate with the internal GPS was off or not up to what the program needs. On the wy home I used my Holux bluetooth GPS and that worked perfectly as it always has. I am a big fan of the internal GPS for things like Google maps or doing a Live search to find stuff "near my location" etc but so far, it doesn't seem to be nearly as capable as the Holux. Just a little heads up :-) And yes, I tried with Google Maps running in the background as well to see if that helped and it didn't.

I am definitely not a gps software guru but in my opinion the sprintnav is pretty damn good and free with my plan so I can't complain.

Yep, I live off of Woodward and Long Lake. :)

how do you run this rom? I have the files and downloaded , but how do i install it?

Sounds like an issue with iGuidance. I've been playing with google maps, miomaps, and iGo at the moment, and all of them update no problem.

However, I am looking into what Google Maps does to make the gps work. I'm guessing something API related with the intermediate driver. I should then be able to whip up a program to run in the BG and keep gps active when necessary.
