johnnerontheroad Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Thanks for that, now could anyone tell me what this means from the above link "CoPilot Live Premium Map Upgrades & Add ons - Not Compatible with Android Market Purchases" Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Newell Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I use CoPilot live on both my Asus Transformer tablet and my HTC Desire HD phone, it only cost me one fee for both installations from the Android marketplace. It works very well in my experience. D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David B Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I have preloaded Gogle Maps and Navigate on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus. It works ok BUT it is not as comprehensive in terms of output as eg a TomTom and the Google Maps do use live data. I am new to a smart phone but the little bit of trialling the maps and navigate I found these used more of my data allowance than any other apps. I have concluded its ok as a standby if TomTom fails. It is probably at its best used for short time , e.g when walking around a town and to find museums etc. Others may have more experience to offer.

colin Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 The problem with Google maps is data use, which is proboly why Dave started the thread, not to bad if you have a 'unlimited' data tarif, but if it will cost if not, and if used abroad that cost will be an arm a leg and half the other arm.

bolero boy Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 ......and I found my HTC Wildfire wouldn't retain the GPS signal like my TomTom does. It planned the route OK but just didnt really do it like a dedicated device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
