I just got an Incredible new to Android and I'm looking for a Nav app that gives you audio turn by turn directions like a TomTom . Is there a good free one or one that doesn't require a monthly/annual subscription fee?

Well technically they are two separate apps but before the last update, you had to launch Google Maps and choose navigate to launch it. With the last update, Google introduced a separate icon for just the navigation. You can find it in the app tray.
Better is always subjective. One could certainly find a better GPS app if it offered features that the person needed (locally stored maps is one example) that Google Maps Navigation didn't offer.It does not get better than Google Nav
Is wanting GPS nav that works "old fashioned"? Seems like it's just picking a solution to fit your needs/wants which is what everyone should be doing.I actually prefer apps that store stuff offline. Call me old-fashioned but I don't like having to be online with an unreliable signal in some remote areas for maps.
If the app uses the TTS engine on your device I haven't seen any TTS engines that offer such voices. If the app uses its own library of voice prompts, it really just depends on the app.Anyway, is there any app that gives us cool navigation voices like Darth Vader on TomTom? I'm a sucker for Star Wars lol..
Is there any new Navigation software that does a good job AND has maps stored on the phone. Even in the "big city" I loose Google maps too often. I hate to see how bad it would be out in the country. Most of the comments in this thread seem pretty old.
