A bigger screen (min. 4") on the phone is essential to really enjoy GPS navigation on the phone. A good car dock for the phone is also necessary. And a proper (hacked ;)) software is most essential for voice guided navigation to enjoy all this navigation for free. Then it works very similar to a dedicated GPS device without spending the moolah. |

1. To be very frank General, nothing beats the pleasure of having an in-dash touch screen voice guided navigation system replacing the original. 2. But high cost and wastage of the original system is a factor. |

The MMI system that I told you about is perfect. Though it is very surprising to note that they have not listed the same on their website. When I called their customer-care and asked, they said its newly launched and hence not shown on their website. But high cost and wastage of the original system is a factor. |

I use multiple navigation softwares. I like Google Navigation (its different from Google Maps) but somehow in India couldn't get it's voice guidance system to work. Works very well though. The other software you are seeing is NDrive with complete India maps, with voice guided turn by turn navigation and its offline (i.e. doesnt use data, so no data charges on phone). Best of all its hacked free ;) Now you can follow our android offline maps topic here, where my friends have just chopped another great software for free (better than Ndrive) - Offline Navigation Softwares For Android - Reliance Mobile (CDMA & GSM) - Discussion Forums - Page 8 Follow that topic for many great choices in offline navigation for android phones working completely free (made to) so no fleecing by these companies. My phone is imported from US and its called Samsung EPIC 4G (in cdma, and not available off the shelf in India, hacked to work on Reliance cdma). Its similar to Galaxy S or S2 variant now available in GSM in India. My topic on my phone is here - Sprint Samsung Epic 4G - The Beast Is Here! - Reliance Mobile (CDMA & GSM) - Discussion Forums It takes less than a minute to get a gps lock when in my car or outdoors. |
