The Pre comes preloaded with a sophisticated and very usable GPS navigation application. This is a fully functional application that one rarely finds ready-to-go on a smartphone (often requiring a separate purchase and a download). The Sprint Navigation application does turn-by-turn navigation and text-to-speech, so you can keep your eyes on the road as you use this nifty app. It comes fully loaded with maps, and the GPS is spot on and accurate even deep within downtown, fully surrounded by buildings and other interference that usually let other GPS systems down. 

Entering addresses is a breeze, and you can set favorites and homes just like most other GPS navigation systems out there. It does what it’s expected to do. Overall, a very useful and functional application right out-of-the-box with the Palm Pre.
