You have to pay AT&T to use AT&T Navigator, much like Verizon makes you pay for THEIR map service. The difference is that AT&T doesn't lock their GPS so you can use whatever you want for GPS. Lots of people don't pay for Navigator and just use Google Maps or MS Live search, which works perfectly to get GPS searches. On Verizon though, you HAVE TO pay them because its locked ... only their software is usable with the GPS so other programs just won't work. It also makes you limited on your choice of that type of software if its a VZW phone.
