Omg... thanks for sharing. This is what I've been waiting for!

Aside from bbm, this is probably the only thing I use on a constant basis.

hrmm. another 9 a month app for turn-by-turn.

hope when ever tomtom get's theirs out they take a different approach.

or something comes along for people who would like to use such apps but dont need them regularly..

**sting7k** · 06-23-2009, 11:45 AM

Gmap is looking better all the time. Xroad US East is really all I think I might need. Just maps stored on the device.

I agree, I very rarely use nav now as it is but when I go out of town i may need it. Just seems like an un needed expense when I can just get by with the directions the map's app that came with the phone can do anyways.

+1000 to that !! Hate when my iphone locks, and i need to start all over for whatever I was doing....lol

I think $9 additional for turn by turn navigation is too much already! Shouldn't ATT just give iPhone users a one time fee and that's it. I will be patient to wait for the official release of their navigation sofware for the iPhone hoping it would be cheaper.

Isn't the AT&T Navigator the "official software" for the iphone? I'm cornfused now lol

I think we know where it was located, just didn't know if that was the software that att would be coming out with officially or not?

**Entertainment72** · 06-23-2009, 02:08 PM

I want a turn by turn nav that installs the maps on drive not "stream" it. You loose your signal your screwed, why I like Tom Tom.

**Rancid** · 06-23-2009, 02:18 PM

The one thing I miss about my Verizon LG Dare is the VZ Navigator. Great program and the $9.99 monthly fee was rolled into an "everything" plan. My new 3GS really needs turn-by-turn!

**Alli** · 06-23-2009, 02:20 PM

The navigation engine behind AT&T Navigation is Telenav, and it beats TomTom 6 ways to Sunday. If you lose your signal, you will still get your turn by turn unless you go off course and the app has to correct.

It does seem that you need a texting plan to use this though - that seems a little odd.

**dooks88** · 06-23-2009, 02:29 PM

I would like AT&T to do something like Sprint did with the PRE. They are including a NAV app like this for FREE! That is a nice feature.

I believe that is incorrect.. let me find the review. There was somewhere I read about the difference, locating it. I have a standalone Tom Tom Go 720 and it rocks.. never fails me.

**sting7k** · 06-23-2009, 03:07 PM

So AT&T Nav doesn't install maps onto the device? Does it keep loading maps as you go? Or does it cache your route?

Anyone test it yet? Navigation apps were next thing I have been waiting for.

That's exactly what I read, loads as you go as oppose to Tom Tom which doesn't.... just trying to find it.

**cobra302** · 06-23-2009, 04:07 PM

ah! this is the app i was waiting for!! i used this on my bold all the time and it worked great! as far as losing the signal, even if you lose cell coverage, the map continues to track you and work. you might lose cell coverage, but not gps.

**mg48** · 06-23-2009, 07:48 PM

On my bold it seemed to load a few miles of basic road data ahead of me and when I had drop outs it would just keep you moving along that path. Eventually the map would run out and then you had a gps with no map. Spead, heading, lat/long.

My question is do you think I can use this app without extra fees? I have the nav plan on my bold and I swap my sim nights and weekends. If I download the app will it just work since I have nav on the acct? It's an enterprise plan so I can't add iPhone stuff to it since I don't pay the bill.

**mg48** · 06-23-2009, 07:58 PM

Though I'll give it a try I really want the TomTom app. On my Bold the AT&T navigator app was a frustrating interface. Hopefully it's better on the iPhone. The search features were no wherenear as good as Google maps. Often I would have to look somewhere up in Google maps and the put the adress in AT&T navigator to get the voice nav.
