Palm Treo 800w
Sprint Navigation on the Treo 800w
I have the Treo 800w and Sprint Navigation. I was disappointed that I can not select an address from Contacts and navigate to the address without having to type it in. I am also a Verizon Customer and with TeleNav on my Blackberry I can simplyload my contact's address and then use GPS to get there.
Sprint's Navigation has a place to load contacts from the phone, but it only pulls name and phone number which is absolutely useless in Navigation.
Is this how the Treo 800w works with Sprint Navigation or is there some other option? I don't want to go to the web and enter each address as a favorite..waste of time. Thanks

I found the answer myself:
You can view a map of a contact's address directly from your Today screen.
1. Make sure your phone is turned on and that you are inside a coverage area.
2. Go to your Today screen.
3. Using the keyboard, begin entering one of the following for the contact you want to map:
First name.
Last name.
First initial and last initial separated by a space.
First and last name.
4. Highlight the contact's name and press Center .
5. Select Find. (The Maps application opens and displays the contact's location on a map.)
6. You can also get driving directions. Press Menu (right softkey) and select Directions To/From or Drive To.
