Default Satellite Navigation on HTC Desire?

My first android phone. Moving from an Iphone 3g can anyone point me to a good satnav app for android? Tomtom doesn't have an app for android...

Also is Google Navigation available for the UK now? and will it work on the handset?

Co-Pilot is probably the best option currently available - not badly priced either.

Co-pilot all the way - had it on my HTC HD2.. Was fantastic, the Android version is identical.

Someone has tried Igo MyWay ?

I was using Igo8 under winmo and I would like to know if it's approximatively the same?

Been using CoPilot on G1 since its release... Very good satnav and with the Desires processor the slight lag you can get with CoPilot should be a thing of the past...

I've always used TomTom. The only thing I've noticed about Co-Pilot is the lack of a qwerty keyboard option.

Co-pilot is not a standalone application, isn't it?

What do you mean by stand-alone application? You can buy it separately and install it on to mobile phone, just like TomTom and others.

I am currently using iGo MyWay on a PNA with WinMo CE.
I must say I think it is the best navigation software I've ever used. (I've used TomTom, and Garmin before)... but of course this is just my subjective opinion...

I would say the maps are on the phone and the app doesn't need data connection to work So yes, just like TomTom.
