have looked at both recently for a *very* specific reason... sprint won:
could not find a way to tell google nav to "just show me a map of where I am right now" even if I don't know where I am... I don't know the street, I don't know the town.
sprint could do it google couldn't... did I miss something?
Sprint Nav until Google fixes the freakin' music + voice interrupting business. Nothing more useless than Google Nav pausing my Pandora and not even bothering to resume it every time it talks!
When I know I'm staying in a 3G area, I use Google Maps. If I'm not in a 3G area, Sprint Nav. I went rafting yesterday and the last 1.5 hours of the 4 hour drive was on small county highways that didn't have Sprint 3g coverage. Google Maps couldn't get back on track after going through detours or making stops because it couldn't use the data connection to create a new map. Sprint navigation, on the other hand, could figure out everything that I needed it to do. I like the UI of Google Maps more than Sprint (Except for G.M's voice) but Sprint is a great resource to have.
This thread would have been much better if it had included a poll
i don't know how

Maps -> menu-> my location. Profit
