I find google maps brilliant as a sat nav - I tried both navfree and Sygic for a while but I reverted back to gmaps as I found it better overall

That M8 does look quite nice though (and 'cute' so the missus will probably like it too lol)
 
I personally love Waze as a sat nav tool, community run navigator which will alert you of accidents/hazards/cameras etc as well as allow you todo the same. Navigator also works on traffic conditions to work the best route.

I have a good car sat nav but use this now instead :)
 
I'm a big Google Navigation fan, but used Waze on my holiday in the US and it worked great. The accuracy of police cars, broken down cars and such was amazing. I've not really tried it over here to know if the Waze community is big enough to keep it accurate.

It does this in the app while I was watching. You can even see on my video above, there's a point where I'm saying why are they all bunched up and then Webber appears in the pits, then they all bound down the track again.

So, no, it's not totally smooth 100% of the time, but considering it's tracking 22 cars doing up to 200mph, I think it works pretty well :) When Button came out of the pits after the disaster for example, it was handy to get a real idea of where he was (which was right behind the leaders, but a lap back! :( )

I'm down South and usually can see around 10 other Wazer's in my map area on the screen. Things like the actual locations of the M25 cameras was pretty impressive but yes it is building up and is a an excellent nav tool as well. The ability to message the wife i'm on my way home and she can track is good. I did think it will work great if you are late for work and letting the boss know :)

Well worth trying and building up the community as well.

I also started playing with the map editor - just wow!

Thanks for the extra details Andy/Dimple, that does sound really good, might actually end up paying for it, even at the rather insane price :p
 
Does anyone have a link to an Idiot's Guide to rooting/custom rom for SG Note 2? I think I have done everything correctly, but want to be sure before going for a different rom. I used Odin...

Will have a sniff about - I'm fairly confident with tech, (plenty of ios jailbreaks under my belt), but new to android and the associated jargon.
Any links (however derp) would be appreciated. I'd like to give Cyanogen a try...
 
Initially very excited but fear it'll get played twice, realise fond childhood gaming memories are best left alone and then uninstalled like so many other Retro games. Apart from street fighter 2 ofc :D
 
I want streets of rage!

Btw what's the best online games, I've been playing real racing 3 and Pocket fleet both are really good.
