What happens when you're using Google Navigator and the telephone rings?

I am hoping for a GarminXT version for Android for use in areas without good cell coverage. I have been using this on my Windows Mobile devices for some time, and it is really good.

good thing about android you can get co pilot and download the maps to your sd card for those trips where service may be an issue

Now this sounds like a plan for those of us who are on the road often !!!

Ratchetjaw,

Can you explain "co-pilot"?

Does it allow you to create a route off line and then load it into the Droid?

That's one feature I like with Mapsource and Garmin, sometimes I prefer to create my own path to a destination rather than the canned version.

I heard that Verizon's network can't do data and voice at the same time. I suspect if you get a call while using navigation you will have to choose one or another. The only networks that can do voice and data are TMobile and ATT.



Does anybody else have experience with smartphones on Verizon's network?

That is correct the CDMA network technology Verizon uses cant do voice and data at the same time.

I cant believe iPhone aren't coming back with a comeback that the GSM network has this basic functionality.



Cheers,

Here is a little more info on CoPilot live

In many ways it looks like a regular GPS unit, just loaded to your phone.

Plus it is only $34.99 in the Android Market CoPilot
