Does anyone use the Sprint navigation system on their cell phones? Thinking about using it for a family vacation coming up, and maybe on my bike with ear phones plugged into it works good enough, or at least finding the nearest gas station.

Pros and cons. I could just try it and cancel it if it doesn't work as advertised, but my expierence might vary depending on my location. Such as the bigger cities and such.

Thanks

Well, most of the time I do, but I don't always know how to get back...:nana: Well for the family trip I thought it would be nice, because it suppose to reroute depending on traffic. I thought this might be useful in places like Chicago and Atlanta.

Well, I can't speak for Atlanta, but as for Chicago, I'm assuming you'll just be going through via the TriState tollway (I294). Unfortunately there is no real option to reroute you anywhere else. The only viable option would be taking I94 via the downtown route and that is completely FUBARed right now due to construction on the entire southern portion (Dan Ryan Expressway). You best bet is to plan on going through during non-peak hours. Avoid 6-10am and 3-7pm and it shouldn't be too bad. If you go through during those times, plan on 3 hrs to get around. It should normally take no more than an hour.
