your best bet is to buy the software ONCE and not worry about monthly fees unless you got money to throw away..
The signal is provided for free, but is not very useful without software and map data (neither of which the government provide).

that's why i mentioned buying the software one time and not worry about an extra bill using sprint telnav.

my opinion is you bought the phone, then sprint should atleast provide the gps software with the phone. just like when you buy any portable gps nav. you buy it and no bill afterwards.. maybe i'm just anal but i refuse to pay $120/yr to sprint telenav when all you need is something like garmin xt or tomtom, buy it once it pays for itself.

anyway, the OP has already been given other choices.

I did get it working. I had tried the version included in OMJ ROM and from Sprint Neither would work. I went to telenav website and dl'ed from there. Been using it for 2 days but not impressed. I tried The Pedestrian routing in Manhattan found it to be very inaccurate and the quality of the maps are so poor compared to other programs.
