You HAVE to have internet service/availability to use this nav
feature? Forget about it. I'll take my signals from the satellites.
This, =IMO= is a cutsey feature and fine if you're IN RANGE for a 3G
connection, but if you are rural, it's going to let you down when you
need it most (no Inet signal). I don't trust it right off the bat.

I have Google Maps on a Blackberry. Very nice, more up to date than my
purchased once, never upgraded, Mapsource and Garmin City Select.

The Google Maps app was just updated a couple of days ago, and now offers
better functionality in features that I like.

All the real keys on my BBerry make it easier to search than Garmin, not
even considering the brain dead UI that Mapsource uses _with_ a full
keyboard, and is worse on the GPS rocker-thingy.

I can go to my contacts directory and select "show on Google Maps" if there
is an address in the entry.

But...
I am surprised at the number of places where there is no cellular coverage,
and how much battery drain is caused by the mapping updates.

So, I wind up using my BBerry when it works, and have the GPS anyway,
and I can use waypoints, routes and tracks on the GPS.

And, lacking any satellite signal at all, I can still do lookups of
businesses and review maps and directions on the pre-loaded GPS.
