I have it on my Telstra one...

Just use Google Navigation. The ICS implementation is really nice.

Goodbye XDA, you won't be missed. Never have I seen a lousier Android community unwilling to take care of its devs.

Also, give me a refund for my XDA Premium app.

HTC Navigation is in the Locations app. Available for purchase by individual country for 9.99USD/30 days, 39.99USD/12months, 49.99/Unlimited

I love Google Navigation. Have never used HTC Navigation for the above reason

On AT&T Vivids, the AT&T Navigator app probably replaced anything HTC might have added. I could not find an HTC branded navigation program on my Vivid. AT&T Navigator (and others based on the same system) has always been a fee-based program. My old HD2 had a similar program based on Navteq data. The fees would make sense only if you did a lot of traveling in unfamiliar areas.

Google Navigation (which shows up as a separate app, but is really part of Google Maps) works well as long as you have a data connection. (Actually you can pre-cache selected 10-mile wide areas for use without a data connection.)

Personally, I prefer Co-Pilot. I paid a flat, one-time fee of $30 (U.S.) and downloaded all the maps I need to my SD card. I can get updates as needed. And no data connection is required.

When I select a contact from people and then select view location, an entirely different navigation program starts up. It is the locations program. It maps, but does not navigate as well as google maps unless you buy the nav part.

You don't have the locations app at all? I'm on WCX ATT Stock build and I have it. HTC Navigation is built into it. 30 day free trial, then prices as quoted above

Here's the HtcLaputa.apk and HtcLaputaInstaller.apk. Don't know if anything else is required.

On my AT&T Vivid, if I select a contact with an address, and tap on view address, I get a dialog asking me to choose between AT&T Navigator or Google Maps. I guess it all depends on what applicaitons HTC and/or the carrier installed the the various phones. I have a stock Vivid with ICS.
