Google a bit .....
In my opinion iGO8 is the best right now.

Depends where you're located, if in the US/UK, Microsoft Live Search is free and a great app.

Nowhere i mentioned it's for free ..... just Google, as far as i know there is not a GPS software for free downloading, even when it is there (like a Beta version), how about the maps ?

usually GPS takes few tens of seconds to fix, try using QuickGPS...

QuickGPS data seem to go old quite fast, I update it just before going somewhere to make sure. Bad experiences with couple days old data, then TT6 cannot find enough satellites and it will loose signal quite easily.

The only GPS navigation software I know is Nav4All : http://www.nav4all.com/site2/www.nav4all.com/index.php

However, it needs a Data connexion to download maps (not working with WAP - it needs a true Data connexion).


Cheers.

You can also use Google Maps in mobile Version.

It's not a real navigation Software but shows you the route and can connect to Built in GPS Antenna.
You can choose between mapview and satelite view like Google Maps/Earth.
All Maps of the whole World are included but you need a Dataconnection for download. It is possible to use the internal cache and surf the maps before going out, so you don't need a connection outside.


For me it was very helpful sometimes on places where are no official roads so TT does not work.
