I use BB Traffic and its pretty good. BB also stated that BB Traffic is teaming up with Tom Tom so this should provide more use to people outside the US and Canada. I just hope they don't turn around and start charging for it when that becomes available.
lol! My wife unfortunately is still using outdated maps and I hate that my turn by turn directions are yelled AT me after I've already passed or too late to make the turn. You're lucky!
I love BB Traffic. I've used it for voice guidance for 1,800 mile road trips and it performed very well. I hate that most mounts these days for gps suction to the windscreen and obstruct my view. I got a vent mount for my phone that I keep on the left side of the wheel and out of my sight lines. Makes for a great distraction free nav setup. I also use endomondo pro to record routes with map data. After working the kinks out I'll be giving it a try on the track this summer.
I use Telenav (Sprint Navigation). And I also use BB Traffic.
I'm moving to ATT in July, and they charge ten bucks a month for Telenav....RIPOFF.
I'm hoping the new TomTom arrangement with Blackberry will support OS7 devices.
I'm getting my BB data plan in under a month (yes, I haven't had one the past 6 months), and I cannot WAIT to get all the BB apps like: Traffic, Maps, BBM, Protect. I'm missing some I know, there's so much more goodness. Without data I can still do pretty much everything on wifi, but these specific apps require data, and I can't wait

BB Travel is a great app also, especially if you travel a lot.
Bb traffic is teaming up with tomtom? I'm not sure how I feel about that because they will most likely start charging for it. And I'm sure they will find a way to make the free versions not work anymore.
Generally I use the matter found inside of my skull, but when I'm in a new town, I use a muted Garmin Nuvi. (the instant it says "recalculating" I have to suppress urges to throw it out the window)
When I'm wandering around on foot, say the national mall in DC, I use Google Maps on my 9930.
No, but actually, I barely use a phone's turn by turn when driving, but for walking in the city and stuff (being in college, I've been doing a lot more bus/walk travel), I used Google Maps.
It doesn't speak out the directions, but it has the turn by turn direction list and also a map view.
Is there an AR app that will show you arrows/directions through the video camera on the screen yet? I thought Wikitude was supposed to be able to do that....

Yess I know.. I've looked into it and it seems like it works really well. All the Blackberry apps seem like they're well integrated and work well. Unfortunately, I don't travel! Although I am going on vaca this summer.. Maybe Ill get it just for that
