Can I Get The Sprint Instinct Navigation On My Touch Pro?
 
I had the Sprint Instinct and the one thing I loved about it was the Navigation GPS, it was absolutely GREAT! I dont think there are alot of good talking GPS programs for the HTC Touch Pro. Anyway we can get the Instinct Navigation GPS on the HTC Touch Pro??

Sprint nav is fine on the touch pro never fails me what makes the instinct nav so much better

Does it have turn by turn talking directions? If so where is it on the HTC TP?

sprint nav comes installed on the pro to my recollection. I use that and telenav all the time, as well as Garmin. All three have speaking directions, although only the first two use actual street names...

I had issues with Sprint Navigator now that I remember anyone else had any issues in the past?

It actually works great, too. It's included for free in a lot of the Sprint plans now as well. One little sidenote: when you use the option to find gas prices on your route, or anywhere else on the map, the gas prices don't get updated often enough. Linking to gasbuddy.com would be great, as they're usually up to date.

I think I was at a point somewhere on the highway and it just stopped loading and froze. I have the unlimited plan and have been looking for a good GPS but I will try this out again :headbang:

It's a shame that my SERO plan doesn't include Navigation, but I have Garmin anyway, though since I've flashed with MR6, I've noticed Garmin sometimes freezes and stops rendering, but still gives voice directions. It's pretty annoying, but I've reflashed and see if it continues.

a major difference between the two is that you can press a button on th instinct and say "Mcdonalds" and it will instantly find all the mcdonalds in your area. You can do a speak option with the touch pro too but you have to go into search mode then select the option to either speak the search or type the search.. The Instinct Navigation is much cooler.

Live search is nice for quick nav. It doesn't do voiced turn by turn, but it is small and fast.

Darn you darkjedi, you got me looking for MR6! Where is it, give up the goods, if there are
any goods to give.

I remember when I switched from the instinct, this thing seemed to have the same exact navigation app. Nothing different from what I can tell

at least there's not GPS lag on the Instinct, my TouchPro is like half-block behind me while i drive...How can HTC screw that up so badly?! the Mogul was Perfect navigating.

That is the one thing that the instinct had in nav that was very nice. You could use the live search button on the side of the phone, speak the business name, let livesearch locate it, and then livesearch would automatically give you the option to navigate their using gps, at which point it transfers the address into sprint navigation and starts navigating with turn by turn directions. It was definately very smooth and easy to use, however, the same thing is accomplished with JUST sprint navigation if you use the search feature.
