Default [Q] What's the best GPS Navigation map for the DVP?

I'm here at the US and I've seen some gps navigation apps that I can use offline in the marketplace and the different reviews on each one of them but I really want feedback here at xda. Is it Navigon USA/Canada, Turn by Turn, or something else?

One side question related to this. I know that DVP only has AGPS. Is it capable of offline gps navigation without using any data from the carrier? I don't have unlimited data plan.

You must be confusing what AGPS means, it's GPS + optional tower support to accelerate lock ons. All AGPS devices by definition also support GPS.

Besides that it depends on if you have an app that has cached/downloaded maps. It depends entirely on the app to support downloading maps ahead of time.

Thanks for clarifying. I thought AGPS is just cellular tower support.

I use Gmaps for long range navigation and Turn By Turn (free) once I get there(and locally) due to the limited mile radius of the free version. I considered the pricier options but this setup works fine for me.
