Can also add as a home screen short cut: Scroll to Settings - Navigation settings - then add the shortcut. Also add as a android widget shortcut. Have not tried it yet. Info here (venturebeat.com) (Venture beat article). | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||

| 1414545 | 2016-01-16 11:15:00 | Here is available on android also and can be online or offline, or there's navmii which is offline only. Lot's of options. Google maps makes it easier to download maps than it used to be as well but limits you do doing fairly small areas at a time. I still mostly use google as I'm used to it and keep the other 2 as a backup. When you shut google maps down and are outside coverage it won't calculate a new route and that happens to me occasionally. Will give this drive mode a try when it shows up on my phone. |
