I was wondering what GPS software people are using. I have google Maps and Live Search but really starting to like live search.

Your poll should allow for multiple choices, I use two apps routinely: TeleNav and WLS.

Can i still edit that? You can if you like seeing you have that almighty power.

I use Mapquest Navigator and love it for only 50 bucks a year.

I am trialing Garmin.

I believe that I will pay for it when the trial is out.

WLS???

Windows Live Search, best free application I think so far.

I use Telenav, Google Maps, and Windows Live Search. As far as driving Telenav wins. For everything else it is a toss up between GM and WLS. I think WLS is a better program with the intro screen and other features (movies, weather, etc), but I hate how long WLS takes to load. It seems like GM comes up a lot faster and is ready to search a lot more quickly than WLS. GM seems to get GPS positioning a lot faster than WLS as well. In any event, I have both installed and go back and forth between them.

These polls should have the option to select multiple items. I use GM and TN about equally depending on the situation. TN for all Nav, GM for when I know the area and need to find something or look at the map.

First poll I have done and not sure how I can edit that.

I installed WLS, nice program but is there a way you can have telnav to give ya directions? I know u can save the address onto ur contact list but then gotta run telnav then import the address.

gpsed, bbmaps, googlemaps and others less frequently.

I use Garmin and Nav4All. I strongly believe that I will buy the Garmin once my trial period is over. Nav4All is different from others, but definitely good for a free app.

Telenav though I do have and use Google Maps as well.

Can you explain how you're trying to use Telenav? I don't see how you can't get directions with it. AFAIK Telenav doesn't import addresses but directly references your address book.

I'm form Eastern Europe (Bulgaria) and I think the best solution for GPS navigation in our region is Yahoo! Go. This software have a good maps (maybe the best in this moment for our region), but the program have one big shortcoming and this is a big data traffic that generated.
Example for a 1-2 hours live navigation Yahoo generated 5-8 MB.

I am not positive either, as I have never been able to get TN to import/read my Address Book fully. It sits at 99% for an hour, and I kill it. I know it does something, lol, I just don't know what!

Actually, I had to lie.

As a navigator, I use AT&T (aka TeleNav 5.1), Garmin, MapQuest or amAze.

I use Live Search and Google Maps, but not as navigators.

As for BB Maps, I'm on AT&T and can't get a straight answer from them about why they deliberately disable it - noting, of course,t hat they do offer TeleNav maps for free and that every launch of TeleNav maps tries to snag users into buying the Navigator. But could that be their motivation? They're not really that petty, are they?

Mapquest Navigator - I have both Telenav and Mapquest Navigator subscriptions on my Sprint 8830 here in New Mexico and SW USA. I also tried Garmin. Garmin was the most inaccurate and out of date and I got rid of it pretty quickly. Telenav has some nice features and does a decent job. Mapquest isn't as feature rich as Telenav, but I've found it to be the most accurate, most up to date with locations & addresses, easiest to understand, and overall, the most useful and reliable for actual driving navigation. So for now, I'm using Mapquest as my main GPS program. Mapquest is also half the price of Telenav.

What about VZ Navigator

I suspect few on this forum would know...

Katsarov, my family just bought a home on the Black Sea near Burgas, and we plan on spending a month there every summer (my wife spent a week in August...). She looked around for a GPS solution (either a freestanding GPS device, or software for a Blackberry), but couldn't find anything that had maps for Bulgaria outside of Sofia (she wants turn by turn directions).

Do you have any ideas?

Best,
Marc
