Default Free GPS on 9780?
The 9780 has TeleNav for $9.99 a month or $2.99 for a day pass. Is there a free GPS app?

I've found the pre-loaded Maps app and it does show me my location (fairly close to it anyway) and it does give me mapquest style directions.

What I want is a Tom-Tom type GPS app, for free. Or at least for no monthly fee. I can live with buying the app once, just not paying for it monthly. My Tom-Tom doesn't charge by the month. So, is there a turn by turn in real time with an arrow on a map showing me where I am and where to go next type GPS app?

Thanks.

Try Waze. Free GPS Navigation with Turn by Turn - Waze

Best free turn by turn I've used.

You may also try LifeInPocket. No maps but decent turn by turn. I gave BlackBerry Traffic a shot but ended up hating it.

Note that none of the free applications are what I would describe as "good".

I used to use Amaze GPS. It was so good that it became a paid app.

I use to use TeleNav beta and it was the best GPS I have used.

I think you can still find it if you google it.

Try Garmin Mobile, one time free of $9.99 but it works great and gives you beautiful navigation directions.

It's a shame it is not supported in the Middle East Just North Africa and Europe.

I went to TelMap and they are not taking users from the USA right now.
Thanks all the same.

just say you're from romania or any other country, and it should work.
