Is there no voice option on the bold with Google maps?

No voice prompts on google maps. Hopefully it will come soon.

Is that planned? bb maps doesn't even have that. I would even kill for at this rate an auto adjust trip as you progress down the road. Its kind of blah for having to recalibrate if you make a wrong turn...then again free is free i guess.

If you don't mind paying for gps, I would recommend Telenav. Girlfriend has a Garmin and Telenav on my Pearl worked better on our road trip in September.

The latest att version of Telnav is junk!!! I've used Telnav for over a year on my curve; the new Att branded Telnav that came on my bold is absolute crap. Poor (crazy) routing; reroutes happen long after you have missed the next turn. I mean it's crap. Read these boards, I'm not the only one complaining.

I disagree completely with this. TN is the best out there. Well worth it.

I doubt it. At least not in the near term. Google Maps is missing a number of features really needed for car navigation IMO. Voice prompts for one thing. Directions don't automatically progress as you make you trip for another...

People using the rebranded version seem to say that. I use Telenav's and highly recommend it.

I like TeleNav 5.1 but I didn't like the ATT version. It's been so long since I tried it I don't remember why, though. I'm happy with 5.1.0.75.

If I am currently using the ATT branded version, how do I switch to the TelNav version?
Thanks
