Is There a Free Navigation/GPS program?

I love the sprint Navigation program, but I'm not paying 9.99 a month or 4.99 a day for it cause I don't use it that often. Is there a free GPS program that gives Turn by Turn directions?

I'm currently using live search but it doesn't give turn by turn with voice.

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

Google Maps works for me.

You get turn by turn directions and if you press "show" you get the GPS map.

TomTom7 is the answer, but you got to look hard for it on the web. I found it after 10 minutes searching, not the fastest but I found a good copy. Can't share it sorry warez policy.

Live Search on windows mobile has turn by turn directions and its FREE...

I think the OP is looking for a voice feature as well as turn by turn
