What is difference between "Navigation" and "Sprint Navigation" apps ?

The navigation app(with the blue arrow) is from Google.  That is something that Google just recently came out with on version 2.0, and is only on Android phones.  The Sprint Navigation(with the yellow circle and a black road with white lines) is the official Sprint version that comes on basically all of the phones sprint has.  Each has their own pros and cons but I prefer the Google one myself just because of the satellite view and to me is a little quicker. 

I like sprint nav, but since the froyo update I now have sprint nav lite...premium is 9.99 a month.  Used to be free with my Simply everything data plan...anyone know what gives with this? I upgraded and hope I will not be charged.

Sprint Navigation is free with the everything plan.

There are no stupid questions. Well, maybe "What planet are we on?" but other than that...

I too have a stand alone gps and since getting first the Touch Pro and now the Evo, I haven't used my stand alone since! Well... except for a few weeks ago, when I had some kind of glitch because of another app that would cause my phone to reboot every time I did anything that involved gps in one way or the other.

We went up to Connecticut from Long Island and I had to have some kind of navigation, as I get lost just turning around! lol! So, I busted out my Garmin 2610 and let me tell you, I hated it!! And this after being in love with it when I got it! I found the maps hard to follow. There were times I couldn't figure out exactly which lane to take and where. The Sprint nav was very clear to me. The newer Garmins have maps more like the Sprint nav maps. I've also used the Google nav and really like it as well. I haven't used it as much, as I always forget about it and have a Sprint nav icon on my home screen.

But now that you've reminded me about it, I'm going to put a Google nav icon on my home screen and see if I like that one better.       

Kinda ironic we're talking about navigation here...

Before smartphones, I used to have a PDA that could do most things my smartphone does, including navigation.  I require a fairly large screen, I am more suspectible to glare than I used to so some things will not wholly change for me.

I can't use my BB for navigation, even when walking its screen real estate is a joke. With EVO I would imagine I'd be using Google nav more when outside the vehicle.  I have a Garmin Nuvi 775, it tells me my lanes in major areas.

Now that the EVO is 4.3" and so is my Nuvi surprisingly... I could drop the nuvi, the downfall is glare, I have a "hood" (specifically made for the Nuvi) to cut that out, I can't exactly do that with my EVO.

One other thing: while using EVO nav and receiving an incoming call, I would find this actually more annoying because I'd want the GPS to stay on at all times regardless of whether a call is incoming otherwise I wouldn't hear instructions and such.

When I raise my screen brightness to max on the Evo, I can see it perfectly in direct sunlight with no glare. I agree about the use of the Nav on the Evo when I need to make/receive a call. I use the Evo Nav (usually Google) around town. On long trips, I break out the Garmin.

I haven't had the rerouting issue with Sprint on the Evo. On my Instinct, it would say, you are off track three times and then it wouldn't utter another word until I got myself back on track. Yeah, that was annoying.
