I recently got a Touch Diamond and am using it without the data plan. I know this has been asked a bunch but I have yet to find a good definitive answer. What is the best way to get GPS without using the data plan?
I understand that TomTom and Garmin are probably the best ways to go, but I would like to do this as cheap as possible as I'm a grad student (therefore not a whole lot of disposable income) and likely won't be using it a ton (therefore can't justify spending much money).
Are there any good free (or very cheap) applications that would work with the internal GPS and give turn-by-turn directions without using data minutes?
If not, what do you guys think about TomTom Navigator 6? How out-of-date are the maps since Navigator 7 is out? I can get the Navigator 6 CD for about $30. Would this be a good route to go? Can you install Navigator 6 from the CD to the Diamond?
Any input would be welcome.
Thanks!!!
