I doubt it Stan. I got hold of a free navigation app which works well.

Are there any such things on the Android market? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

i believe there are alan, but not looked into the navigation/directions part of it.. i mainly want to cache google maps and 'see' where i am on salisbury plain for instance.. ... - .- -.

the phone app or map would have still shown them there location...i think its the un-experianced bit that messed them up.. ... - .- -.

I use my Nexus 7 as an incar GPS, you can save google maps offline and the GPS will show your location without wifi, however it cannot calculate routes without an internet connection.

If you want your routes calculated with turn by turn voice navigation, there is a brilliant free app called navfree: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details...id.OSM.ALL

This will download the open street map of any country you want and save it to the device so it will work offline, Great Britain was around ~350mb:thumbsup:

my son has just brought a nexus 7 and he's chuffed with it..i'm looking at the 10 inch tab2 which i assume will be the same as the nexus regarding the gps... ... - .- -.
