Default Navigation app on Galaxy S II?

Hi guys,

Been on the dark side for the last 8 months (iPhone 4) and thinking on getting the new Samsung Galaxy S II.

From the specs looks like a great device and really looking forward to its release. In the meantime I would like to know which navigation app will be compatible with Android 2.3? Do I have to use a custom ROM to use free apps?

Thanks for any replies.

No you do not need custom.
It works on stock ROMs without any problems.

What about Google's own Navigator? I'm pretty sure it's free but I can't remember, it came already installed with Google Maps & Street View on my Galaxy Tab.
