Sprint Navigation works like that and if you have the talk, message, data plan with sprint it is free.

Re: Looking for a good GPS app...
With the inclusion of Google Local Search in the newest version of Garmin XT, it is now, by far the most powerful GPS intergrated search function available.
Using garmins maping software and your computer, it is possible to remove not commonly used states from your GPS card. My garmin maps take up less the 100mb. You can also create custom routes, and points of intrest using google maps and a service like www.takitwithme.com https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=11413# In my opinion, the only feature garmin is currently lacking is "text to speech". It says "turn right" but doesn't say "turn right on sycamore street." Hopefully they will update with that functionality soon.

Damn the only reason I'm dragging my feet is I want to switch to Android once they develop it for the Vogue, or when my contract expires and they offer one for Sprint...

The only problem with Google is that their maps are not completely accurate, they have me on the next street over, when I do a google search inside of Garmin for my business it has the correct address but routes me to...you guessed it the next street over, so a person needs to watch out for this glitch. That said I still thing this might be just what berardi1111 is looking for. Terry |

Re: Looking for a good GPS app...
GPS software way behind the curve. Just spent the wasted effort to install tomtom 6 and it frankly sucks compared to the free googlemaps. I was surpised it was that bad. You can't search POI by name. we just need google app to have text-to-speech.
