    @trevelian23 I believe you need Android 1.6–not sure what version of Android the Hero ships with.

    I have an HTC Hero that I just bought. It came with Google Maps. Mine does not have navigation and I can not find Google Maps with Navigation anywhere on the Android Market. Where did you get this? Thanks in advance.

    @alphadog1x To my knowledge, Verizon requires the data plan to use the Droid on their service.

    @sttrumpet So I could cancel my data plan and still use Googlemaps on the phone? And for your info: Google DOES NOT offer turn-by-turn voice in canada. Only text popups above your dot.

    @z0diacx1 Out of the box “FREE” – Yes. No extra fee, exactly how chuongvision describes in his video here!!!!

    @aznvi3tg4ng You do need an active internet connection.

    @z0diacx1 No, there’s no extra fee above the regular service plan.

    @ZF911

    GPS is *not* free on the Droid. Any GPS that has turn by turn on the Droid (or any Droid phone) will require a monthly fee, except for maybe some smaller lesser-known apps. But no, the Droid cannot be used out of the box as a standalone GPS receiver. It will cost monthly on TOP of your regular data plan

    yup, to pull out the map, basic data pack needed

    @aznvi3tg4ng Well, you can’t activate the Droid phone without paying the $30 a month internet fee. Most smartphones do this. But unlike other phones, since the internet is required, ringtones, gps, tons of apps, and many other things are all free on the Droid.

    very important feature that is much easier just say navigate to ” ” whatever like navigate to ghetty center and it will pop right to the navigation screen and start navigating without going to a browser
