Re: HTC Desire & gps data usage with Virgin mobile
I can heartily recommend co pilot live. I'm using version 7 and have found it excellent. You can download a trial and try it for 14 days. I purchased a licence via Ebay for around £10.
I have used Tom Tom for as long as I care to remember, but have been pleasantly surprised by Co Pilot.
There are loads of free POI to download at pocket gps world (for all sat navs).
I'm using an app called nodata which sucessfully switches off the data usage (as I have found most modern smartphones can download huge amounts of data all the time and you not know). Google maps as mentioned above uses data so can be expensive if you have a limited data plan.
Not sure if this will help anyone, but when I first started using Co pilot. If I was to go on a journey and then use it again miles from where I was, it wouldn't always find the satelites-however there is an option to reset satelites and it always seems to pick up straight away using this option.
