I hate to say so but the Navigator is the worst navigation application I have seen so far. The application itself lacks a lot of features current navigation softwares have - like "avoid track ahead" when you hit a traffic jam. The the usability is in parts painful. Choosing addresses is inconsistant, partially non-intuitive, slow and awkward to use. Once it caused me a detour of more than 200km because I chose "fastest" instead of "shortest" on my way from Las Vegas to Phoenix - this is a major bug. But worst of all the map data is inaccurate, outdated and incomplete. Most house numbers I checked so far are plain wrong, many many POIs are wrong (non existant or wrong position) etc. For a free application for the Maemo devices it is OK. But I would not buy the navigation upgrade - you can get a complete device including better software and more accurate maps at the same price. Sorry to say so...
