Red face GPS App for Curve 8320?

Hello

Does anyone know of a good GPS application to downloand for a Curve 8320 with T mobile? I am looking for one that will pick up my location via sattlelight and give driving directions. Simarlar to how a TomTom works. I am not sure what one to download and would really appreciate any feedback.
I don't mind paying for one that works well!
Thank you!

Google maps will not serve a a GPS app as the 8320 does not
have an internal GPS receiver. The best you can hope for with
just the 8320 is triangualtion, which is woefully inaccurate.

To get the most from Google maps you will want to buy an external
GPS receiver such as this one: Freedom Keychain GPS Receiver

Google maps can use cell tower triangulation as far as I know.

As for the BB itself you can actually get GPS on a 8320 no problem. Just go to Google and look up Freedom Keychain 2000, or you can look for something like "world's smallest bluetooth gps keychain" and see what it returns. There are a few out there.

So just connect to it via bluetooth and presto, GPS for the 8320.
