Yea I bought this when they were running a special at 50 a year and honestly saving the 70 a year is worth using this program.~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

I love this application, the only thing I would love is planning online and having those routes synced over to the BB Mapquest application ala telenav

I was impressed with the video. Its looks pretty similar to Telenav for less than half the annual cost. Too bad my company pays for my Telenav or would opt for this just to play around with it.

i used telenav before and it told me that it coulded locate my posision because i didnt have a gps system to sync it with. Do you have to have a gps sytem already or was it just screwed up on mine before?

Well I already use Telenav and I love it. However, I am always open to things that may be better. I tried out Mapquest Navigator and it left me feeling that Telenav was the superior of the two in software and features. I will stick to Telenav.
