I just entered my Sprint phone number and pin from the Telenav service Sprint includes for free and it works great...
Thanks for the great tip! I wasn't sure if just downloading it would cause me to get billed automatically by AT&T. I already pay 9.99 for it on my Sprint BlackBerry because I have had one too many times where I am in a pinch and need it.

My Sprint phone number worked great!

I'm guessing you haven't driven in the Greater Boston MA area lately; "those road signs" are sometimes scarcer than hen's teeth and can be far more confusing than watching the arrow. Given the number of one-way streets and "No Turn" signs, it isn't as easy as it might seem. Remember the phrase "Can't get there from here"? :p
When I was writing that post, I actually had something written about "unless you live in a place like Boston", but deleted it. :-) Now I haven't been there in 25 years, but I remember how just getting one block over might mean zig-zagging all over the place.

For people who travel a lot for work (sales reps, etc.) I can see how valuable these things are. I just find the nav systems amusing because I know A LOT of people who buy these (because I guess they are a current "toy), and the people hardly ever travel! And when they do, they always go to the same place. :huh:

Must be a local problem. I've been playing with on line maps for years, and these days they're pretty accurate.
It is, but if you are going to be the self-proclaimed expert in a small town you've never heard of, it pays to know which of the streets are one-way. Names don't give clues. This particular street is a narrow one city street next to a catholic grade school.

I wouldn't. And I wouldn't trust Google Maps. Google doesn't know the difference between a one-sway street and a highway. And they don't care or make corrections. .
That's probably why they don't do realtime turn-by-turn directions. Someone would sue them after their stupidity gets them into a head on collission... going the wrong way on a 1-way street.

And if the cost per subscriber basis really necessitates $10/mo, GPS providers should really reconsider offering a service like this. Seriously.

Hate to burst your bubble, guys, but I sincerely doubt that you will be able to find a turn-by-turn capable GPS app without some sort of recurring charge attached. The need for vendors to supply their own map data, which they will need to keep updated, will necessitate a recurring charge. Even TomTom and Garmin charge for map updates.

$10/mo is not an unfair price to pay if you use the service frequently.
I'm sorry but $10 per month is ridiculous. No car with built-in GPS navigation requires a monthly fee to use the GPS. If you want a map update you pay for it of course, but streets don't change THAT often - it's not required. My mom's car has a small YEARLY fee to XM for traffic nav data.

The Google Maps functionality is just fine. It shows me where I am and where I need to go. I don't need anything more than that. My car does have turn by turn but I actually use that less than my iPhone's google maps (easier to pick addresses and I can see traffic).

The only gripes I have about g-maps is that it doesn't have voice guidance and it kicks off w/o restarting my route when I receive a call, make a call, or practically when I exit it or when it has to close...

But no, I would never pay 9.99$ for this thing, esp. if it requires data...
Might as well buy a cheap tom tom one or something for less than 120$...

TomTom

Pros: its great for turn by turn directions and its a nicer, bigger, screen to do it on.

Cons: Weird way of entering addresses and you can't search for a place by name (like the burger joint your meeting people at).

Google Maps on iPhone 3GS -- its

Pros: Toss anything in and google will either find it or give your suggestions or ask you which of the ten you wanted to go to.

Cons: The GPS is a little off sometimes so you don't want to use it for making sure you are making the right turns just ahead.

Garmin XT. $99 for the software and current maps and then you update it whenever you want. I was looking for European maps for a friend's standalone Magellan unit and it was about $80 for map updates or other map regions.

Hate to burst your bubble, guys, but I sincerely doubt that you will be able to find a turn-by-turn capable GPS app without some sort of recurring charge attached. The need for vendors to supply their own map data, which they will need to keep updated, will necessitate a recurring charge. Even TomTom and Garmin charge for map updates.

$10/mo is not an unfair price to pay if you use the service frequently.
I know i'm gonna get whacked here. Had first gen Iphone, Goggle maps great service. Just picked up new Palm Pre Sprint nav included with service. Same as what ATT is going to use. No extra to be paid. TBH not a bad program but I want better.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-So-whos-going-to-line-up-to-pay-999mo-for-turnbyturn-22647966 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 23:33:21 EDT Re: So who's going to line up to pay $9.99/mo for turn-by-turn? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-So-whos-going-to-line-up-to-pay-999mo-for-turnbyturn-22647372
I'll stick to my blue dot on the maps app. The places where I need the maps the most are places that have full 3G coverage (like in San Francisco or Berkeley).

If you find $70/mo phone service reasonable, I'm sure $10/mo is pocket change. You probably pay >$150 a month for TV and who knows what for your other stuff!
Some people, like myself, don't watch TV or watch it so infrequently that downloading TV shows is a better deal. Just a little bit of an over-generalization, doncha think? I mean, I know tons of people who are paying $200-300/mo for family plan deals that don't involve an iPhone. Paying $70-90/mo for an iPhone is not that ridiculous and doesn't mean I'm rich, either.

Ooooh you mean on iPhone .... too bad. The original post didn't say anything about iPhone ...
Because it's pretty much the only cellphone that gets discussed here. ;)

I think what will happen is AT&T will unleash this dog of an app, with its subscription, and it will be crushed by better apps that don't have the subscription model.

I simply don't get why paying money for turn-by-turn is worth it.
