The ummm vendor locks out true GPS, so you have to use assisted GPS,
and the server that you need to connects to requires a digital
certificate before it will talk to you.

She can get an app for her phone, but good ol CanYaHearMeNow wants an

What kind of phone? On my Windows Mobile I have the TomTom software
(<$40
with a dock for my Treo, which died long ago) and have been
surprisingly
pleased, and no Navigon = no cell provider fee. It is a prettier
display
than our old eMap (think that was a Garmin) and I'm less likely to
forget
it in the car, too. Directions are more reliable than our Ford
built-in,
and I think you can order updates from the TT web site. The new
version
supports gas prices, traffic, etc. off the TT site but of course I'm
too
cheap for that.
Eventually I splurged and got a dock for the new phone (from the
Dollar
Tree) so I could hang it under the rearview mirror, but for a while
I just
stuck it on the dash in front of the speedometer. :)
