As far as driving and turn by turn directions dont use it in a car. It SUCKS big time. I got the first month free and I will cancel before its up. Your better off with BB maps and google.
Interesting -- I've tried all the currently available GPS apps for BB and IMO Telenav really is the best that's currently out there. I've never had problems with it getting getting a satellite fix, indicating where I'm currently located, or using it in a car. Neither BB maps or Google maps offers turn-by-turn or voice prompts so they're really not suitable for in-car navigation.
