How do you use the GPS on the Tilt without having any commercial GPS software?

I thought Google and Microsoft had some sort of free online GPS software, but I can't find/figure out how to use it...

Also you may want to have a look at nav4all... free turn by turn gps navigation. The UI is a bit clunky but it works and it's free!

Yup! For looking up where something is I'll usually use Google Maps. It's easy to zoom and pan the map.

But, for driving somewhere I'm not familiar with, I've gotta go with the paid solution... TomTom Navigator.

For driving you need audible instructions. I tried using Google maps to get somewhere but I had to keep looking at the screen.

Either get a commercial application or if you need free try Nav4All as someone suggested above. It's nowhere near an IGO8 or Tomtom but it's free (for a year or two).
