I have a new Hero which I'd like to use as a sat-nav...its with Orange and they offer the Orange Maps application free on my contract which is a turn-by-turn sat-nav system similar to TomTom for example.
However Orange maps don't currently support the Hero and I wonder a) if anyone knows when they may do or b) can I get hold of some TomTom type software (probably on memory card i would guess) to enable me to use my phone as a sat-nav?

Wait for the 2.0 donut upgrade to the OS, as that will have Google Maps with turn by turn navigation built in.

Or, I believe there is an app within the market place.

Ive contacted HTC themselves on this one basically they dont know if orange maps will come to it, but tbh it aint that great *used on a previous phone* i personally use google maps and the diretions through that, no sound but still see the map or there is an "ok ish" app called "Nav4all" and that does voice and its free, poor GUI but as i said its FREE!
