sprint navigation update

anything different that's worth the update? for a navigation program, I don't find it really intuitive to move around...

To me, in seems moving around the menus is a bit faster. I haven't really noticed any changes in navigation (however, I have only used it once since the updated). One thing I noticed is the voice is a bit different when speaking street names vs generic things like "turn left".

I have a weird experience. I get the prompt to upgrade just fine. I accept that but then get told that my phone isn't recognized (it's a stright Sprint Hero, which hasn't been rooted). I then get a list of phone vendors. Sprint is one of the options but if I select that the list of phones displayed doesn't include an Hero. HTC is another option and that DOES include a Hero option but simply prompts me to download a file.

My guess is that I am supposed to be seeing a more seamless "install in place" experience rather than having to choose my phone, download a file, etc.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

main scree, choose "share & more", then it's#4 "Weather"

Hmm, I'm not seeing it. I confirmed my Sprint Navigation is version 2.8. I have a Sprint Hero running Android 1.5 (not rooted). When I go to "Share & More", I see:

1. Share Address
2. My Stuff
3. Movies
4. Record Location
5. Refer a Friend
6. Product Tour
7. Preferences
8. Diagnostic Tools
9. About

I wonder why our versions are different...

1-3 are the same, my 4 is Weather, then the rest 5-10 same as your 4-9. Maybe your location doesn't support weather? Just a thought. Other than that, I dunno

Does yours say Sprint Navigation Premium? My version number from "About" is 2.8.0.1029
