Cricket gets its navigation app/service
If the likes of Verizon and AT&T can have it, so can Cricket. I’m talking about their own branded navigation service/application.

Google turns on turn by turn navigation for UK Android 2.1 and 1.6 users
Google Navigation is a brilliant little application, and during my 45 day stay in the United States I used it extensively, but then I came back to Europe and sadly it didn’t work anymore. This seemed unfair. Google has cars driving around, with cameras attached to the roof, all the time. Why should the Americans…
