Anyway, what is everyone using for GPS navi? I know you can mirror your screen via easy connect right? Also if you have a hotspot or a 3g modem attached, you can use google maps... but if you don't want to run your phone all the time either via hotspot or easyconnect. What are you using?


I am trying navigon and tomtom, any other suggestions if you don't want to use data?
I will try my 64gb I bought for mine today and report back. I thought I read it can handle up to 128gb.
Maybe it was after one of those reflash rom things...

I used to use Sygic for GPS. Worked well for me and I assume they are still offline use.




As for the previous question, yes it has built in WiFi, I did mean the 4g Hotspot modem.

And I went for USB for two main reasons, but another was in my mind too.
1- USB pid/sec was substantially higher and thought it might keep readings more accurate and real time. Might be wrong...I'll find out.
2- I have read about reliability issues with some bt adapters. I went with a big brand USB version and they do make bt ones which are rated very highly...but.....
3- price. This was $55 to my door. The quality bt adapters were over $220 and I didn't want to spend more than my head unit for an adapter. Especially not knowing how well a cheap android unit would function. If this works out well, I probably will get a good bt adapter and use this cable one to read from my wife's jeep for diagnostic situations.
