GPS navigator with verizon phone.

Someone told that the VZ navigator is nice, but it cost monthly service. There are a bunch of other blackberry apps in "My World" that you can download and use it for free, but none is giving you turn to turn direction as the normal GPS navigator on my dash. Does anyone know if there is any other app. which can be downloaded and use for free of charge with verizon BB?
Thanks.

Thanks Tim. It looks great Tim, but too bad that mine is not a droid. it's a BB Torch and it's a company phone, so I have to be careful what I get in there. I don't want it to crash.
Actually, it's real video, better than my Garmin. TheGarmin is showing like a drawing image.

It also works in map mode vs the satellite image. If it is a smart phone, it should work fine (does not have to be a Droid). I have used it quite often over the last couple years.... I don't know why you would need to worry about it crashing your phone. Tons of people use it all the time along with the Google Map app.

Tim, I know know much about smart phone. I did several minutes search and read that phone can be crashed installing wrong version or wrong OS. I also heard that mobiles apps are much different between droid and other OS so I was just saying.
I did download the LifeInPocket. it seem to be slow on start up, compare to my Garmin. I have not driven it around yet. I think I will try both, LifeInPocket and google, to see which is better.
Thanks Tim.
