Default 3rd Party Apps - What do you suggest?

Please Login to Remove!

I just got my 8700 the other day and want to start putting some good software on it. I was wondering if you veterans could give me some suggestions of some good, free programs to use. I would especially like a good navigation program.

Thanks.

Do a quick search of the forums. There are a couple of stickys that have a ton of different programs.

Free navigation program?

The best you'll do is going to be Google Maps.
