What's the best free GPS Program

Looking for a good gps program for driving directions. I am currently using windows live search but I don't like how it always keeps the map in the North position. Any suggestions would be great. thanks

Re: What's the best free GPS Program

If you don't have Sprint Navigation/TeleNav on your current plan, you should try switching to a "Simply Everything" plan. I'm sure that you will find a more beneficial "Simply Everything" plan over the plan you're on now. With that, you will have TeleNav included. Look into that as it may save you some money.

Re: What's the best free GPS Program

I'm really happy with Google Maps, it is fully supported and you can go with satellite view or map view.

Very true, bossman74. In that case, to be honest with you, I can't answer that question.

Re: What's the best free GPS Program

Yeah, that amAze application is weak. Of course, you get what you pay for. No business search. That defeats the whole purpose. And I was on the verge of not paying $9.99 extra a month. Thanks alot amAze for no business search.

Re: What's the best free GPS Program

I personally like the interface to Live Search when it comes to following the directions, as it shows turn by turn instructions as you hit each checkpoint....BUT Live Seach has dropped me off in the wrong place more than once. I searched for a certain golf course and it left me at another golf course a few miles away, and I even searched by the name. I had to switch to google maps to get me to the right one. I guess Live search doesn't always have accurate data. I like google maps, but wish the turn by turn directions popped up at each checkpoint.
