    Hi all,

    I have just found the BB maps and have realised I can use my curve as a sat nav woooot!!!!

    Only problem is I need voice commands as I drive on my own sometimes and don't want to be looking at my phone every two minuites.

    Is it possible to do this or should I invest in a sat nav?

    I believe you can download Nav4All that has the option of voice directions.

    CoPilot also gives voice directions. It has a free 180-day trial. I found it worked very well.

    On my curve I use Garmin Mobile. It works great for me. I assume it works on Pearl also but not sure. It has been a great program with very clear voice commands and turn by turn directions. They have a free trial period on their website then I was able to get it for $99.00 a one time fee good for the life of your phone. So if you will be upgrading soon or change phones alot may not be a good idea but if you are keeping your phone for a bit this program is very much worth the money

    Nav4All is a sweet app, but at the moment is broken for the Curve. ALL of the voice prompts get cut off. When they get that fixed, it worked pretty well.

    The co-pilot version I tried introduced "instability" to my curve. All returned normal when i uninstalled and rebooted. Looked good...so I will try again in a while after a few bug fix cycles.

    Since I have Verizon, I am forced to use my bluetooth puck (a$$hats disable the internal GPS chipset). If they stopped doing that and I can get a sat-nav package to install, it may be the ultimate converged device yet.

    Hmm... I'll have to check out Garmin mobile, it would be nice to have voice directions.

    Sprint has their own app called sprint navigation powered by telenav. It have voice directions. I really like it. So if you have sprint its free as long as you have a data plan that includes sprint nav. That is probably all the new plans recently announced and several of the vision packs.
