I don't know about lifeinpocket but amaze sucks... I tried it and it was confusing... Hard to control. I use the map program that came with the phone

I thought it had voice? I'm pretty sure Nav4all has voice and mine is disabled so I can listen to Pandora when I use it.

Best for what? Turn by turn directions?

I downloaded GPSed for tracking and its working pretty well. The only issue is they have a defect when you try to upload tracks to their site automatically from a BB, but they are aware of the issue and working on a fix per an email I got from their support team (prob. a month out).
