is it just the fact that there is a monthly fee that makes people believe that it is an inferior product or are there other reasons?

If you aren't in an area that has data, VZW navigator will be useless. It has to have a data connection to pull the maps. Worse...if you manage to get your route and get lost along it and are out of data connection, it can't reroute you.
I've tried to use it several times and I'm was not impressed at all. When I needed it most it seemed to lose connection or give bad direction. I think it's gotten better with time but at this point I'm so ticked about this whole GPS thing I wouldn't give them my $10 just because.
