First turn-by-turn GPS navigation app hits Windows Marketplace for Mobile November 10, 2009 [General] | By Edward J. R. Unfortunately, apart from many issues, Microsoft's official Windows Mobile app store has also 10 MB size limit for apps, so GPS navigation apps are automatically excluded, right? Not really: The first GPS navigation for turn-by-turn navigation that has arrived to Windows Marketplace for Mobile is Urban Horizon: 
However it sucks on many levels. Firstly you have to download maps from the server of the software vendor, not from Microsoft. Secondly you can use this "service" only for one years and then you must pay again. For comparison's purpose: for the same price one can get CoPilot Live turn-by-turn GPS navigation software for iPhone, where everything is loaded from Apple's servers and users don't have to pay yearly fee. Of course you can get CoPilot Live and TomTom also for Windows Mobile, but only through side loading - much more expensive and without app store and without automatic updates feature.
