Is there any GPS software that can guide me by coordinates? For instance, I would like to use my phone to, say, geocache or day camp.

Hi everyone. First time posting, but I have been reading for quite a while. I just got my Mogul on Friday. I have been using iNav's iGuidance for 3-4 years first with an old Compaq PDA and then with my XV6700, so it is my favorite. I just like the interface, the advanced notice of turns, the miles remaining on the current leg of the trip, etc.

It is fairly lacking in POI database, but now I use Google Maps for that type of thing.

I am running Ver. 3.0 on my Mogul with no problems, though it does not seem to run as quickly as it did on my 6700 with the BT GPS antenna.

Interestingly enough, I am not having the problems with aquiring the GPS. I do not have to run Google Maps or Windows Live before launching iGuidance.

Right now, Sprint Nav seems to be the best value, in my opinion. I mean, think about it...

For $5 a month, you get a fully functional nav program that gets all of its maps from a server, so you never need to switch out your SD card. Turn-by-turn alerts with spoken street names. Accurate and updated maps with a huge POI database. And to top it all off, inclusive traffic reports and re-routing service. I mean typically, you have to have a separate subscription for that. Subscribing to Tom-Tom's service will ding you $35 a year! More than half the cost of Sprint Nav per year.

Other GPS software seem to have a hefty initial purchase fee. $100 to $250 from what I can see. Two years with Sprint Nav is $120. And you get program updates as they become available; presumably keeping you current rather than having to purchase whole new versions of the other manufacturers.

It may not be the most glamorous or flashy, but it certainly meets my needs, and is easily the best value of anything currently available to Sprint users.

Well i have used google maps, live search and tomtom. i love google maps (and the face that it is free) but it is always telling me that i need an active data connection in order to use it. when it comes to live search, i never ever had a problem with it, but the i found tomtom. Now i can actually use my 4gb micro sd. i can't believe how easy it is to find a crack for this software (tomtom). i would use the built in sprint gps software but im not so sure i will like it. does anybody know if it annouces turn by turn like tomtom does?

I thought Sprint NAV was $9.99 per month which is way too much. For $5.00 per month I'd definitely consider it.

Straight Sprint data plan is $15. Data plan with Nav is $20. So yep. It's only $5 buck-a-roos a month.

It certainly does. And it pronounces street names, too. Remarkably realistic, I might add. The only downer is that there's only one English voice. But it's a darn good one.

whoa! i'm okay with one english voice. my question is, how can sprint charge you for something that is not officially working?
