    Do a search on Google play for M8

    It's a free satnav program with turn-by-turn instructions with street names, nice format &...more importantly...changeable icon for your vehicle. Yes, I am easily pleased.

    The route map is downloaded via wifi/network connection once details are entered. So no 'on the fly' downloading is needed.

    It also has speed limit & camera hotspot warnings with the free version.

    It did annoy the hell out of me with this incessant beeping. Then I realized it was the 'your speeding' warning.

    Petrol stations, ATM's and loads of other icons appear when you're close to them. It can be distracting at first as you're trying to work out what it is instead of looking at the road. So you end up driving like every other retard that uses their sat nav as an autopilot instead of looking & reading sign posts. But this soon passes.

    It does tend to favor major routes, even to the point of redirecting you onto the preferred route when you take a short cut. But I prefer that to being taken through city centers for no reason like Copilot tends to do.

        Well there's your answer... don't buy an Audi.

        I had bluetooth issues with my S2 running 4.1.2
        M8 working fine, called 'she who must be obeyed', M8 went off screen..phone screen locked.. could still hear directions while on phone through the headset, but unable to view map without the call being switched to speaker without notice, yet leaving M8 voice on headset......... I was very confused.

        Never found an answer to it.

        If mine worked through a standard BTooth headset then your problem is with the car protocols.
