    well, I think they might be losing money on the system but if you count in all the games and rest of the crap they have for in the market..you get where I’m getting it? they don’t exactly lose financially…

    not sure if you ever got an answer but if you want to turn of google maps there should be an app from the market place which does it. Hope that helps.

    yeh, but i can’t figure out how to turn off google maps on the droid, so it is burning my battery too fast.

    I bought a moto droid and by far the best phone I have ever owned hands down. If you buy this phone get an app called trapster. It uses navigation to tell you where cops are. I use it all the time on longer road trips. And yes trapster and the google maps/navigation are free. google maps comes already installed.

    anyone know if there is an android program that lets you use the gps like a handheld one that tells you on a map where exactly in the world you are with longitude and latitude??? mainly for people who like to go into the wilderness where there is no phone reception.

    dude iPhones might have good apps and everything, but they are kinda boring… There’s basically no customization. If you’re like a business person and don’t care about that, w/e. but im 16 and dude, thats most of what i look for in a phone. iPhone just doesn’t have any customization to it, IMO

    omfg im getting this for xmas. its so ill. but im almost positive they will eventually charge like 20 bucks a month for the GPS. everyone gets greedy. plus it says BETA so this can be a free trial run

    iPhone does has google search voice and can do the same. It also has many GPS apps on app store and They work great and have better look than the original map of iPhone and the Droid.

    The Google Maps Navigation demonstration could have avoided all the annoying camera wobbling about if the camera had been fixed on a tripod and the Verizon device had been mounted on the dock, IMHO.
