I know it's not a secret, you are correct. I'm just saying, if it's there, why not let us use it, that's all. I understand they want to make money on a service, and I'm fine with that. It would just be cool to use it for other things without having to attach more stuff to the hardware. I wonder if there is a way they can lock it so you need to vz navigator for directions, and then have it unlocked for everything else. Like the apps for the iphone. I know it won't be, but it would be nice to have everything in one.
