Default Free GPS on 8800 with Blackberry Maps?

Please Login to Remove!

Not sure how, but I am now getting my GPS to work with blackberry maps on my 8800. I assume Cingular does not promote this fact since they want you to use Telenav? It works fine with bby maps but it seems to hog a lot of the unit's horsepower. Is Telenav any different? and if so, worth the monthly cost vs the free version with blackberry maps?

Please elaborate if you can as I am a TeleNav user and LOVE it. Used it at lunch today and it works so well.

BBMAPS and Telenav is like apples and oranges...Telenav is 1000% better. BBMAPS is just a basic GPS maps/directions program (for now)...telenav has POI,
biz finder, gas price finder, and many many other things....
