- The Storm comes with a built in GPS if I'm correct. So is there a way to use a different program rather than VZNAV?11-23-08 07:48 PMLike 0
- You can get the Google Maps app... its not audible turn by turn directions but its google maps so its all there too11-23-08 07:49 PMLike 0
- The GPS does not work yet in Google maps for the Storm. This has been discussed in a million threads. As far as I know there is no other app besides the Backberry maps app that works with GPS.11-23-08 07:51 PMLike 0
- Alright thanks guys-- I'll be getting my storm on the 25th and can't wait! However I had a Voyager and VZNAV was free with that phone--I can't imagine paying 120 a year for something that I've been getting for free for the past 8 Months. Anyway I'll be sure to try some things out before my "trial" VZNAV runs out (although I understand getting rid of it makes the phone much faster)11-23-08 07:59 PMLike 0
- Ihave tried AmazeGPS and while installs and loads ok, I cannot expand the Address list past Armenia. In general it doesn't work. I had downloaded the Bold version I think.11-23-08 08:04 PMLike 0
- Checking out amazegps right now... looks like they have one made for the storm 9500. I will report back after I've given a test run

Not sure if the GPS part does not work with this program or somethig elase. Any one get it to work.11-23-08 08:11 PMLike 0

- Fail!
Amazegps and nav4all are not ment to be used on the storm... navigating is actually very tricky and complicated!
Amazegps I could not get a GPS lock, but with nav4all I could.
Storm is still brand spanking new... I guess the only think I can do is be patient and wait for a GOOD navi app for the storm. I really want this feature to work! turn by turn directions w/o paying an additional $10 a month11-23-08 08:28 PMLike 0 - Fail!

It is not released yet though.11-25-08 06:30 PMLike 0 - how did you get it to work in portrait mode? I could not get it to type a second letter on any of the sure type keys. We you using multi-tap? How do you activate that. I had to make up an email with leading letters only...11-25-08 06:38 PMLike 0

One of the options you will se is "Navigate to (Nav4all)", select that and then it walks you right everything, and off you go. I used it this morning on my way to work, and it performed perfectly.11-26-08 09:01 AMLike 0
- I used to use Telenav on my 8830 along with an external bluetooth GPS module. Since Telenav apparently needs an update to work with the new screen size and UI of the Storm I decided to give VZ Navigator a try.
In short, it's HORRIBLE compared to Telenav. In a short 5 minute drive, the map download timed out 3 times. I never heard an audible direction and all I saw was the data timeout error the entire time.
I will be anxiously awaiting the return of Telenav once they get the software updated.11-26-08 09:16 AMLike 0 - Please help. I'm trying to load Nav4all and it requires a valid email address. However, the screen is in suretype mode (I think) and therefore, I can't type a valid email address. I can't even get the @ symbol to appear. And if I try to rotate the phone the accellerometer doesn't do anything.11-26-08 09:30 AMLike 0
