Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I'm having lots of fun trying all this stuff out, and once I settle down on a few solid apps, I'll report back.
For now, rather than choose between Roadmap and Gpsdrive, I'm using both. Roadmap is much handier I think for navigating in a strange place especially if you're lost, since the maps are scalable, and it will announce the upcoming street. With Gpsdrive, you have to plan ahead and make sure you have maps of sufficient detail of where you will travel, but it looks SO much nicer. Unfortunately, both programs have some serious bugs and/or design flaws that limit their useability.
