Hey all... I have been playing with several GPS programs over the past couple of days. Amaze, Infospace FindIt, and Mapquest Navigator. BY FAR the mapquest program is the best. It provides turn by turn voice guided instructions and the on screen display mirrors that of most in car GPS systems. Interface is very easy to use. Just a personal opinion, but it is worth checking out. http://www.mapquest.com/features/mai...bile_navigator

How did you get that? I just looked at the site and don't see it available for my 8310.

[adamjay79]

In order to get the program, select SPRINT as your carrier and the 8703e as your model. They will send you a text for install, and it works flawlessly.

[matthiasj]

i agree, this is the only nav software i use, i've tried nav4all, amaze, gmaps, and all the others and mapquest is byfar the best out there.

[kane]

i agree mapquest nav cant be beat

[Living]

Great. Is there a cost involved with this application.

[cherrichiodo]

adamjay -- have you had the opportunity to use telenav yet? just wondering, as i would like a comparison to it :D

[t.brock]

thanks man, ill have try it out...

[mike mike©]

wut bluetooth GPS device are u using with it??

[cherrichiodo]

when i had my pearl i was using the gps puck that ATT sells in their stores. i think it was 100 bucks ...

[t.brock]

i downloaded the app. and what you said, and i would have to say that i didnt have any problems...works good...

[adamjay79]

Living - no cost, totally free. Cherri - I have used TelNav, and I prefer Mapquest. I like the interface, as it is almost identical to the GPS you see in vehicles. Not to mention all of the options are the same. Give it a try, I think you will be impressed.

It works very well. Thanks for the info.

[wendycharles]

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~I tried the link but I couldn't find the navigator. Could someone post the link or give the address.
Thanks

Thanks for the info on Mapquest. I downloaded the program and it is great. Do anyone know if this program will expire.after so many days. The program indicates this is for Sprint, I am with T-mobile.

[matthiasj]

it will not expire, i have been using it for months.

[cypher]

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~ it expired after 4 months of use. Maybe longer than 4 months. Just uninstall and reinstall and I was back to normal.

[berry-buster]

Im installing it on my 7100i right now... Will play with it today and report back.

[wu-wei]

Used this for the first time this morning, though I installed it months ago. Why haven't I been using this instead of BB Maps? Much better performance, and the call-out for directions is reminiscent of the old TomTom I had on my Treo. This just moved up in my apps list...

[adamjay79]

Glad you all like - this is the only program I use.

Probably the best FREE gps navigator, but IMHO Telenav is better because it has interface to live traffic and works on the Pearl. I could never get Mapquest Navigator to close properly on the Pearl.

[GPRacer98]

Does Mapquest Navigator require a data plan? While using, does it download data to the phone? And one last question. Is there any way to get the app on the phone if you don't have the internet on your phone. I've got the 7100i through Nextel, but don't have a data plan.

[cypher]

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~ you would need a data plan to use as the maps aren't stored on your phone. Maps would need to be downloaded.

Here is my Review...

I love it!!!
:D

Last night on my way home from the office i used it, and it gave great directions.
Night Mode looks great day or night.
I live in the middle of Nowhere, and when i didn't turn where it told me to, it re-routed me instantly using the lesser traveled country roads i usually take.

I will be installing this on my wifes Blackberry tonight!!
Great Application!!

[adamjay79]

berry-buster - my thoughts exactly. Glad you like.

[ak602]

I downloaded it and it looks fantastic. But I have the same question. IS there any cost involved? It does not mention any.

[Typhoid]

I downloaded this app tonight and tried it on my way home. Flawless was my experience. From what I see, there is no fees involved, but you will need a data plan being that it is assisted GPS.

[ak602]

The only thing missing from the app is to be able to navigate to and address in your address book.

[halo32c]

Does it have a setting to keep screen from going into standby mode? Have a problem with Google maps going into standby after a few minutes.

[adamjay79]

MN does not go into standby mode when it is activly in GPS. That is one of the best features. Couple that with the fact that it has a great day/night mode. No cost involved at all. ak602 - I agree, that would be a great feature to put in the next interface.
