Confused About Maps

OK, I know the Eris doesn't have the same turn-by-turn mapping that the Moto Droid has, so what kind of map program does it have? "Just" Google maps (non turn-by-turn version)?

Also, can you run VZ Navigator on the Eris? For me, VZ Navigator works fine and I don't need much more, but I've heard it won't work on the Eris.

I read somewhere (don't remember where, it's been a couple weeks) of various update schedules for the Eris. One of them got the first update date right, and claimed another date was in January. It also claimed one of those updates would be 2.x. We can always hope that it comes that soon.

The only things i have heard or saw on here about the update for 2.0 or 2.1 was that it would be ethier first quarter of 2010 like stated above...and if the update was to be sent out in january then it would be late january wich we are in right now so like Nimdae stated we can only hope for the best "2.1 hopefully" or atleast hope that it comes that soon be it 2.1 or 2.0...would be nice to have ethier 1 right 😁 ???
