Google Maps Navigation supports voice search, satellite view, 3D view, traffic information, automatic rerouting, among many other features you would find on premium GPS devices.

Fantastic – That’ll teach Google to mess with us Brits! Thanks to the people with the IT skills who have managed to make Google Navigation work. By the way, with regard to the t-mobile contract vs Vodafone, one of the reasons that t-mobile is “more competitively priced” is because the signal is no where near as good as Vodafone. In my opinion it would be better to stick with Vodafone and pay a little more or risk getting a lot more signal issues around the country. (NOTE this is only my opinion – no animals were maltreated in making this comment)

May sound ‘dumb’ but where’s the APKinstaller on the market. When i type in APK all i find is APK Manager, or eoeAppinstaller. I’m really confused.

Help because I so want to try this app.

I have the Desire phone.

Graham,
thanks but I’ve found a cheaper one!
http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-phones/phones/pay-monthly/htc/desire/pay-monthly/pay-monthly-20-18m/allowances/
18 months at £20, plus £129 for the phone = £489 overall, and that’s for unlimited (3gb) data, 300 texts, 300 mins, and free unlimited landline calls (or unlimited texts, or a few other choices). So that’s probably what i’ll go for in a few months when my contract is up.

Hi Dave,

the vodafone deal i have is £25 per month inc 75 mins talk, 250 txts and unlimited internet: it is a 2 year contract but the first 6 months are half price (£12.50) – this should be by redemption but if you contact vodafone directly they will happily let you do it with them directly and they will simply reduce your bill by £12.50 per month for 6 months. this works out cheaper per month than any other deal *i* could find.

To be honest the way i am looking at it is it will take about that 2 years for 4g networks to be viable (my own opinion so dont flame ) and that is the only real point i will need to upgrade from the Desire.

Hope this helps

I followed the instructions in Matthew’s reply above, and this works like a charm! You’ve just saved me £25 for CoPilot, thank you!
