Best GPS software to use with our new feature?

[aughsum]

What software works the best with windows mobile? Ive used Gmaps, and live which work relatively well but im wondering the benefits of using anything a bit more robust.

TomTom?
Alturion?

whats the best?

So far I am sticking with Sprint Nav, aside from the initial satellite find on a cold boot, it seems to be the quickest, uses the least memory (iGo is very good for a maps-stored-locally setup, but seems to have iffy compatability with our new GPS feature), and has actual voice guidance (Turn left on 8 Mile Road instead of Turn left in 300 Meters).

It has also found every POI I have thrown at it, even some my TomTom One does not have.

Yeah unfortunately. I am near 6 Mile and Farmington.

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

Yep, I live off of Woodward and Long Lake.

TomTOm just worked fine on a trip to the grocery store. It doesnt have text recognitiion to name of the street names but otherwise does a good job.

Is there a standalone cab for the sprint navigation ro do I need to let it run all its sprint customizations on a hard reset? I usually leave the bloatware out of it but if I have to put it all on there to get sprint nav I guess I can live with it.

I asked about a cab for the Sprint Nav in the thread for the firmware, but never got a response. So for now I am just leaving the Sprint stuff on until someone finds a way to make it a Cab.
