    Not really but for what it's worth I have used beta zone apps many times and they performed without a hitch.

    Blackberry Traffic actually has some pretty cool features. It would be worth your time to do a Beta Zone free signup.

    Did I say that without saying anything? Trying to abide by NDAs.

    Thank for the heads up. I'll wait til it is officially released though. I trust you when you say it's cool but I don't want to be a beta tester at this point!

    I can't say for sure, but I expect the latest version on Beta Zone is release-ready. The developers on that team released it without requiring a keycode, which is typically necessary for running the betas.

    If you're intrepid but don't want to sign up for Beta Zone, you can find it other places. *cough* rroyy.com *cough*

    Hope they release it soon! I'm going on a road trip. Don't want to pay for VZ Nav. Don't make me!

    fwiw: telenav turn by turn comes free on sprint, so i use it and it's good. (fwiw, i find car service/limo drivers using it on their phones instead of reg gps in the nyc-metro area as well.) if you don't find a better choice, you might consider a free trial for your trip.

    Doesn't the current official version have turn by turn voice guidance?

    I think the 3.0 version just released in App World. I got an email from the Beta Zone that said it is out of beta now.

    Just downloaded it. Hope it's good enough that I can dump my VZ Navigator.

    BB Traffic is useless without map guidance. Telenav shows me a moving map like a normal pnd and indicates proper lane assistance. BB Traffic is just mapping with location based prompts. No visible mapping during guidance. There are some wicked confusing intersections in New England and sometimes having a visible representation of the roads is what makes gps so useful so often.

    I remember when this app had almost nothing, so maybe this will be added eventually.

    Yeah, it needs to be incorporated into BlackBerry Maps.
