Default Verizon GPS question for Tour

Please Login to Remove!

Does anyone know if I can get the GPS in the tour to work without paying for it, or do I have to pay Verizon the 10 dollars a month to make the GPS work?

GPS is not restricted on the Tour.
There's no need to pay for VZnavigator if you don't want to.
You can use any GPS navigation software you'd like.

But none of those give audible turn-by-turn directions like VZ Navigator does, do they?
