Navigation

The sprint nav app is one of my most used and fav. apps on my current phone (pre). Since the Nexus won't have any sprint apps installed, will I be able to install sprint nav through the market? If not, is the google navigation app any good? Is it a true turn-by-turn gps app? How does it compare to sprint nav?

also most carriers have their own store within android market with all the preloaded apps on other phones that i am sure you can install on the nexus s as well, they just don't come pre-loaded

I am not with Sprint, but I am with Verizon. I do use the google navigation and it is awesome. When I was a BB user I had to pay for voice navigation and the free google is just as good as Verizon's. So I am sure it is as good as Sprints. give it a try.

thanks. The android navigation app looks better than sprint nav judging from the youtube promo video. And if it's not, sounds like I can install sprint nav anyway.

sprint nav sucks ass to me cuz i notice a lot of times itll say to turn left, when ur supposed to turn right. one time, it wanted me to turn into a dead end neighborhood when i was lookin for 711. google nav is definitely the way to go
