TP2: need weather & maps app

Just got my first smartphone, the Touch Pro 2...any advice on a good weather app, as well as a good maps app?

Free is obviously the best choice, but what's out there that'll work with WM6.5?

http://gudensoft.com/?page_id=206 works well for your maps and for your app go to market place and get weather bug. It's free

Thanks for the welcome!

But I forgot to ask about a good sports app, like mainly college basketball & nba, but the more the merrier?

I haven't found a good sports app so I use these RSS feeds:

RSS Feeds - Live Scores MLB, NBA, NHL, NFL, NCAA, WNBA

They give you scores for all major sports any time you want them. You can use the provided links or download the files and run them on your own host. That's what I do.

-google maps for maps.
-for weather i just started trying Elecont Weather, its working pretty good so far but its not free.
-you should also download the new Skyfire web browser for full flash support and you should be able to browse websites like espn easily
