Thanks to the introduction of “Navigator for Android” Rogers users now have an available option for traveling around and not getting lost. Which is nice considering the Google Maps Navigation app is not yet available. The downside, the Rogers Navigator for Android app comes with a monthly service fee of $4.99.
As for what you get in exchange for your $4.99 — the app will offer all of the expected goodies to include turn-by-turn navigation, 2D or 3D maps, day or night modes, real time traffic updates, one touch rerouting, business search, the ability to pre-plan trips and more.
As for getting the app, according to the screenshot below, it can be found in the Android Market, though as a non-Rogers user I cannot see the app and verify that claim personally.

I bought CoPilot for my Android. Works great. Would not pay Rogers a monthly subscription fee for this. CoPilot is a one time charge and they update regularly.
Sounds like the same sort of dumb deal Vodafone have tried to introduce in the UK.
