Me too! against everything I've ever done, I may even get one on the first day... that is, if the Verizon store isn't too busy.

I have an env 2 and use the VZ Nav all the time and I haven't had any trouble with it except for a few times in North Central Washington and once or twice on 101 in Or and Ca when I couldn't get a GPS lock.I'm looking at upgrading to the newer Blackberry and that has a larger screen which should be nice..
Interesting fact is that the VZ has the same voice with attitude that others seem to have also when YOU make a mistake.

I have a Delorme PN 40 handheld GPS, and the GPS in my iPhone. The Delorme unit is hands down much more accurate and faster to respond than celular GPS technology.
Even though the screen on my Delorme is half the size of my iPhone, it's still my primany GPS, and will alway be the one I take on the trail.

I have had "Sprint Navigation" on my cell phone for a year. It is a VERY good GPS, but not good enough to replace my Garmin. It is WONDERFUL as an emergency tool though.

Did you know that EZ-Pass is a government conspiracy to track you movements too?
