Just curious what everybody uses and likes. I use google maps for everything and that seems to be pretty good for free, but didn't know if there was other stuff out there that was better.

To find a good list of these apps, you need to download BerryStore at www.berrystore.com, it has a LOT of different apps not just GPS

A few free ones (depending on you needs) are as follows:

AmazeGPS
GPSed
Microsoft Live Search
Blackberry Tracker

Even the included BBMaps is fine but then again, it depends upon your needs.

I use Nav4all. Its not the prettiest looking out there, but it has a ton of features including voice turn by turn directions and it gets the job done. I've never had any issues with it.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. AmazeGPS was very slow and didn't work properly, but GPSed looks really cool and I'll be using that when I remember I have it . Nav4all also looks like a winner with how many features it has, but I haven't tried it out fully yet.

I am currently trying out Telenav. I may keep it at the end of the trial. Awesome software, and the web syncability is nice.
