Anyway to fix or get a better GPS?
I am using the one that came with my phone.
first, I dislike the 3d view. But I can live with that. second and most important, it does not give me the next direction. It tells me just before I hit it. And if I have to make a lot of quick turns. I am not sure which side of the road to get on before it is too late. can I get a better one?

Re: Anyway to fix or get a better GPS?
While all of those will work I really suggest you spend the money on either Garmin or Tom Tom....
(I'm not on sprint so I can't say how well Sprint Navigator works) Google needs to have a data connection to retrieve maps. You lose data connection you have no map displayed! (Not a problem unless you go into rural areas where data coverage still is sketchy) Both Garmin and Tom Tom lock up just as fast, you can fit the entire US map on a 2gb memory card (I have both installed to the same memory card 8gb), meaning you never need to download maps except to update the old ones from last year at a time of your choosing... and I think those are much more driver finger friendly than Google... I tried iGo in a rom long ago but I never used it enough to comment on that app.

Re: Anyway to fix or get a better GPS?
I personally love Sprint Navigation. You can change the settings from 3D to 2D. I don't see a problem with notification of turns, etc. It seems to tell me the next turn as soon as I'm on a road. (If you're not on Sprint, I can't comment on the GPS with your phone.)

GPSToday also has a speedometer feature in its map display function.

I use Garmin Mobile XT and love it. I have never had a problem with it and it runs great!
