    Google Navigation Query

    Hi, im just wondering If i can use the built in google navigation on the SGS without having to select a dedtination, in other words just a normal driving route, without having a specified route.

    thanks

    I can't use Navi without destination. However, if you need something that has a map and locates then Latitude might work? Not sure if it tracks you on the go but should do.

    Are you referring to Navigation, the app with the blue arrow icon? When I open the app, it requires a destination before showing any maps.

    Orange Maps, Google Maps or Latitude will do the job.

    I downloaded the 2.2 update through kies and it seems you can use navigation with out a destination which is great!
