I know gps, but there is difference between plain route showing with turns n all & proper compass based navigation. Say if you miss a turn the navigation arrow will point you to missed turn for few secs then it will search for alternate route. Then again this is a bit slow on my canvas HD, as GPS does not locks satellite easily. You can compare the navigation to any other phone with magnetometer to knwo what I am trying to say. BTW, can you plese let me know the tweaks to get faster fix on gps |

I dont have A116 but this applies to any android : Before you try fixes you should ensure that A-GPS and EPO assistance are on and EPO file info is downloaded before you try to acquire a fix. This will ensure you get a quick fix with lesser number of satellites than minimum required. The issue in A116 seems to be with software. I googled and found some comments on this page http://igyaan.in/Mobile_Phones-detai...vas-hd-review/ "The A-GPS on the Micromax A116 Canvas HD works well and will triangulate you on a map," "Download an application from google playstore called gps fix. intsall gps fix and click on fix and after it is completed , open gps and try to locate, if not working try rebooting the phone and try if still not working try gps fix once more. 90% it will work. actually it is a software problem in canvas hd." |

Why should navigation NOT work without compass? ... Besides using magnetometer in a car (for navigation) doesn't make much sense. The car is primarily iron, which distorts the earth's magnetic field especially INSIDE the car! |

I think that direction and motion sensors in the phone augment GPS navigation, allowing the device to keep an idea of where it is during short periods of poor or absent signal. I doubt that it would be up to extended "dead reckoning" navigation. |

Partha, have a look at speedmod kernel. It is available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2181599 This works with the stock jellybean rom. Battery lasts longer and project butter really feels like butter. PM me if you need any help. |

The compass doesn't do so badly inside a car. It is very useful when, rather than full navigation, one just want to know which direction to go without waiting for GPS application to start up and get a fix. I would not like to have a phone without a compass. |
