Free Sat Nav App?

Big Bag of Chips · 2011-08-06 19:02:29

I hope I'm in the right forum, can anyone recommend a good free (always free, not just free for a week!) Sat Nav app? I have a HTC Desire. Google Maps is no good to me, as I don't always have an internet connection where needed!

You could always install Brut Google Maps, it is a modded version of Google maps that allows caching of maps and navigation.

Thanks, I'll have a look at both of those. I've had the phone a good while and it's only now I'm getting to look through it!
