SatNav on Blackberry 8520

I have managed to get a bluetooth gps device and wondered if anyone here can share their opinion as to which one is the best satnav to use with this phone ??

Its on Orange pay as you go if that makes any difference.

I'd like to use something I can just download and copy to the internal MicroSD card if possible.

Thanks in advance!

Mark

Hi Mark,

For starters the BB cant run apps from a memory card, the apps have to be on the phone. As for GPS software, search for nav4all. Its free and very simple. Its very light on data so its not gonna eat your limit or signal and has 'turn for turn' voice commands

what gps receiver do you use? I got one before, but it didn't work with my 8520, so would be nice to know of one that does work.
