Welcome Ethan!

1) Yes
2) Yes (but if you root you can get an DHD rom that does this)
3) Copilot caches on your sd card

 

Yeah, it's expensive as hell, I agree!

I use the built-in nav but then again I have an unlimited plan; which you kind of need with this type of phone!

Also, if someone helps you out, on this forum, you can always show your appreciation by hitting the "Thanks" button below their post.

 

Oh! Yes, in that case I'd just get a regular nav for the car.

 

Rubbish works on all Google phones be it HTC sammy LG etc etc

 

Damn! You're are right! I always confuse "Locations" with the new HTC Sense!!

 

Hi, so if I have an HTC Desire I should be able to use HTC Locations to download maps to the SD card? If so, how do I access HTC Locations? It's not listed in my apps and doesn't seem to be in the market place. Cheers

 

Will the release of Gingerbread change anything? Or did HTC make a conscious decision to confine Locations (I understand they partnered with Tomtom - $$$) to HD and Z?

 

Google navigation is great, if you're online; Then I used and compared quite a number of Navigation apps for off-line use, and decided for CoPilot. It is excellent, though it has a few minor drawbacks. When used at the same time with a second sound source (as the music app), CoPilot does a bad job in blending in it own directions). I posted this problem to CoPilot, and hope they will correct this.

Both, Google navigation and CoPilot Premium know "insignificant" small places (as my home), are confortable, and have useful features.

I do not recommend HTCs navigation, because it is not precise.
