LG Chocolate Touch / 8575 Touch

I was told I can't get directions from Google Maps on this phone. Can I get to Mapquest? I have limited Internet (25 mb)and I already used up some trying to get goolge maps. No one ever told me I would not have access to certain sites. Verizon said the phone is not equipped to download all the info on google maps. Is there any program I can use other then downloading VZ Navigator? I just need it for local directions once in a while.
