MapQuest Navigator 5.0

[joe3789]

I have TomTom7. I hate it. It does not use correct speed limits when calculating fastest routes, resulting in routes that are actually slower than the true fastest route (I learned this the hard way while traveling in decent traffic to rule out traffic as a possible cause for timing issues). Are all of the navigation programs like that or are there any that are great representations of the speed limit conditions?

Also, does anyone know if Mapquest Navigator 5.0 is usable on the Sprint Touch without having to use external GPS following the July 21 update to the ROM that enabled the internal GPS? Seems like a decent app. I like that over the course of a year (if you pay 49.99 upfront), it's cheaper than Sprint Nav, even though it's subscription based, which I understand is a turn-off to some.
