free GPS software w/Voice Directions

[DrQ]

Thanks to user DCHAIN, I downloaded and am starting to try out Nav4All . Seems like it works OK on the Q. Just got through the basic set-up, had it find my BT-5 generic BT receiver, locate me on the map and saved the location as Home.

It supposes to enable voice commands in 100 languages and voices. Haven't got to that point in the try out, but wanted to share with y'all as some might get to work with it quicker than I will.

I did have it freeze my Q while setting it up when my BT-5 wasn't available to set up and I pulled my battery to restart my Q and it seems to be OK now.

Good luck all and thanks again to DCHAIN for the find.

ps. RB: I think it's got Dutch

Maybe a stupid question but does this work with the Verizon Q? Do you still need to buy a GPS receiver that connects via BT to your phone?

yes you would still need a receiver and it should work with vzw

[dchain]

you need an external that uses bt.

i am glad to help there is another one out there, but it will be a few weeks before the q is there
