This way you also have a backup should Maps go down for whatever reason as the email contains text directions and icons to use as "paper navigation"

Thanks, but the link you gave requires a User Name and a Password, although clicking on the 'Download' option does then give a link to the Google Play Store : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lsdroid.cerberus

A guy is getting his first Android device and you're telling him to install anti virus. Good first impressions

You don't need it.

Not to mention you need to be rooted for AdAway to work... And Google pruged the entire Play store from ad blocking apps too...

I would say let Bald-Eagle22 play around with all the stock stuff first and see what he likes, let him get use to the entire Android/Touchwiz first.

Thx Benjo , it was something I was questioning myself .

Been using Sofa Score for a few weeks for the football. Great app which sends audio push notifications for your favourite team when a goal is scored.

I would suggest antivirus if your planning on installing apps from "other sources"....

 

[mrk]

One thing I would never do is install an app from "another" source. Decent paid apps are cheap enough to not have to pirate then!
