    Car Navigation

    The Iphone is not the best navigation and I rather just have one in the car. I want the traffic updates so it can help me avoid some of the crazy New York traffic. Monkeys what to buy?

    It truly is a huge selling point of Android phones for me. Before they came out with it I always thought how badass it would be being able to put GPS routes/maps over the Google maps satellite images. Plus the traffic indicators seems to be pretty spot on, though I don't use it much.

    And I can play crabcore from it at the same time!

    Android phone gps nav only works if you have a data connection. It bites the dust in the boonies.

    Mine works fine. I use the strava app to record my rides in Pisgah where I do not have anything even close to a phone signal, but my GPS works great.

    Mine sucks, and our trails are nestled into very suburban areas that have great cell reception.....I lose gps signal on almost every ride for a significant amount of time.

    I wonder if I have some kind of setting wrong?
