Default GPS Docking Station

I know this has been discussed but I can't recall where I read it. Can we make Google maps launch instead of VZ Navigator when using the car dock?

If you can find it, get the car dock apk for either the captivate or vibrant (can't remember which). it will launch google nav by default.

I looked, couldn't find it. I'm using the Car Dock v2 app from the Market right now.

What I did was remove the car dock app. I then installed CustomCarHome which lets you choose exactly what apps you want on the screen.

But, there is also the Samsung car app from either the captivate or vibrant. I believe it is over in the Fascinate Android Development forum. Don't have time to look for it right now but it shouldn't be too hard to find.
