Google Maps is freeware and widely available, I'm currently using v.3.0.2 on my Blackberry 8820. It gives you two views and an opportunity to share your position online, called 'Latitude', this screen shot shows the 'Map' view. This view shows road names/numbers, one-way streets and railway stations. Although not what I'd call SatNav software, Google Maps gives a simple but effective route tool. Another nice feature is to 'Search Map', I tried "cash point", "cafe" and "bank" and I was very impressed with the results! When you find what you're looking for it gives you a full address, telephone number, puts a map pin at it's location, let's you save it as a favourite and even see directions to it from where you are. There are even three route modes: Driving, Public Transport and Walking.See Google Maps-Route tool.
