It says its for Java phones on their homesite, but they have a Windows Mobile client as well.

This program is free and still overpriced. Poor routing and no POI's. This program will not give you efficient routes, either. I know the fastest route home in my sometimes hourly commute home, and this program took me on the scenic route that I first took to get used to the area (this was pre-GPS era). Buy a more advanced program. You'll get to your destinations faster and have more time to live your life

Most of this is true, however, I have successfully used Amaze for local directions and it worked just fine. Dont forget as well....Amaze is still in Alpha.

I mean..it IS free. The title of the thread was...Is there a *free* GPS program. Your other choice it to pirate (or buy) one of the other applications...which I freely admit, I did myself

A lot of GPS apps are free. Maps are never free. These people are talking about warez already. Torrents are warez! if U tell them to get it via torrents, U r breaking the house rules. No warez talk everyone.

You might want to try Nav4All. It's free until 2010 and seems to work pretty well. You do have to prime the GPS first by starting with Google Maps or Live Search.

+1 For garmin very finger friendly and I love that detour button. Worth the money. But for free google maps is nice. The search feature is wonderful.
