Kyle: From all my friends on AT&T with BlackBerrys, you can't use the GPS w/o TeleNav. Of course, that could be wrong. But Google Maps does not use GPS. It triangulates your position using cell towers. I can use that with Verizon. David B: I'm not sure, because I still haven't ponied up $10 for the navigator. Maybe I'll get a 24-hour use one and check it out. Se7en2: Yes, that’s on tap for the near future.

No voice turn by turn since not paying a subscription but good enough for what I needed. The receiver fits on my keychain and is a Freedom mini GPS.

It works with builtin and Bluetooth GPS units. I'm using it with a Pearl 8100 and Bluetooth Socket GPS unit. It works great and has lots of features. Another free navigational program is Nav4All.

I have an 8830 from VZW, and would be interested in something like that, to avoid a monthly fee.

You can pay for their service or use Google Maps for free. Sprint also does not lock the GPS. You can pay for their service or use Google Maps for free.
