Default GPS on a Blackberry

HI Guys,

The wife is getting a Blackberry 8800 which has GPS built in. Has anyone loaded any sat nav software onto it - Tom Tom etc. and is it any good?

Can anyone reccomend some software - I'm sure I read somewhere that Google do something free??

Cheers

Rich

I'll give Google maps a go once I get the settings from T-Mobile for internet... Seems quite a nice phone as it goes - straightforward and easy to use, just need to get email and internet set up now.

Google maps does work in the UK as well, although it doesn't know quite a lot of roads when searching.
