One thing that really bugs the crap out of me is when pressing a contact pic, the choices that come up (ie phone, text etc) has VZ nav instead of google maps. There's no way to change this other than freezing VZ nav, and I haven't rooted yet. That will be the first app I freeze when I do though.
yeah Google maps. which is part of navigator.That is pretty lame. So if you freeze it then it goes to Google Nav somehow?

Are sure that if you go to Menu > Location & Security and deselect(uncheck) VZ Nav....that this does not change. Also when you first launch apps, etc that require the use of GPS/location services, usually they ask which one you want to use (Google or VZ) and there's a 'Remember this choice' check box that goes along with it. I am sure there is a way to change that if you mistakenly chose VZ Nav with the 'Remember...' check box clicked. Not sure where to find that though...I am looking now. Will update if I find.
Try going to settings/applications/manage applications/all then scroll down to and tap on vz navigator. See if you can tap "Clear Defaults" or if it says "no defaults set"
No, this "feature" is baked into the OS. Frickin' BS.
I have those options on my D3 so you should have the same.
Maybe I will reinstall launcher pro and test to see if it's just an issue with their contacts widget. I had the option to choose vz nav or google maps the 1st time I tried to navigate to a contact's address. I chose google and told it to remember. If I go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All and choose Google maps and clear it as default, then I have the choice again between vz nav or gmaps
