It's wierd. My 8830 is Canada-based with Bell Mobility - partnered with Verizon. The GPS works fine for finding current location & finding an address but not point to point directions. In both Canada & the US without an extra charge. It is slow but it does work.

Thanks for the tips guys. $380 per month? Yikes. Data will be off.
