If all you want is the camera alerts then download the Cameralert application. This can run in the background of the built in Google Navigation application. Other than this you could get one of the full-blown navigation apps though success with these and any 3rd party database is hit and miss between updates of the applications. My personal favourite nav app is Sygic which I use with Cameralert running behind in the background. |

HTC bundle their own navigation app but it is as you say a preview only.
You can download Google Navigation from the Market free of charge but maps are downloaded over the air and so require a data connection.
Otherwise, my favourite is Navigon but CoPilot and Sygic are alos good alternatives. _________________ Darren Griffin |
