I keep TomTom7, Live Search, Google Maps and Sprint Nav on my phone. I primarily use TomTom for "real" nav work as I have no time for breaks in nav/maps or detailed voice prompts if i need to take a call or switch to a different program. I use Live Search if I need to look up a phone number or specific location with address since it's always up to date.

Google maps is more fun that functional as I personally think Live Search has always done "it" better, but GM does it different.

Sprint Nav is free (first and foremost) for me so that is the only reason I even tried it. It has some cool features BUT the map options and lack of "offline" nav make it close to useless since I have TT7 and Live Search to out perform it.

I don't have a gripe about Sprint Nav BUT I think it is more of a convienience that they gave to "regular" phone owners since they needed "something" mobile other than a stand alone unit. We on the other hand have real and usable GPS components onboard so using the solution given to the regular phone folks comes up very short of what we can be using.

btw- Sprint Nav was quoted at 9.99 in addition to my business everything data plan. Maybe the difference is everything personal vs everything business? just a thought. I was looking at google navigation and at copilot, but I'd love to see a comparison of the 2.. though for right now I am making do with google maps, since I am not in a heavy driving mode.
