Yes Verizon charges for it. That’s a well known fact by now. Why everyone uses reviews to gripe is beyond me. You get what you pay for. I’d rather pay $10/mo and get good service & data plans… And a non-open-to-everyone-in-the-universe unblocked GPS. Its a privacy issue for me. Big time. If you don’t want that… Go to another carrier. Simple fix.

“tax” was a sarcastic term for the $10/mo charge. There’s no reason for that charge. Just like there should be no reason tocharge for SMS. It costs them nothing to use the GPS chips in your phone. I can understand the monthly charge if it wasn’t smart phone that needed to talk to a server but a BB can have all map data be local on an SD card.

I just loaded TeleNav for my Storm, and I love it. It’s the same price as every other nav application at $9.99/mo. There is no other “tax” as someone suggested. I also tried VZ Nav, and I like TeleNav much better. This is awesome!

This is not really free. You have to pay $9.99 for this free app. I suppose that if you don’t like it you can get your money back, but that is way to much hassle for me. I will stick with VZ Nav.

$10/month to unlock an already included GPS chipset.

I currently have VZNav since I switched to Verizon from TeleNav when I was with Sprint. So far I like Telenav better and mainly for one reason: your favorites are saved on the server and not on the device. So when i upgrade software I don’t have to reenter my home location and it also saves previous searches. I will try out the Telenav and see how it works

I took it off, I loaded a feed yet, it tries to download all prior episodes. I just want the current shpws. Also does it download to the memory card?
