Found a superb feature in my HTC

Ok I installed a car holder (360 rotation) so I can try the ''Car'' app that came with the HTC One X...
I bought the HTC Bluetooth to AUX adapter aka Stereoclip for only 60$ at Microage
Opened WAP connection,then GPS satellite and finally the GPS app inside the Car app:
-Every Lebanese street is accurate as names and lenghts
-You can enable audio GPS aid
-You can spell a name and it will search it
-Routing is very nice for people who are discovering new areas
-It ONLY used 500k data for 30mins of GPS routing
-WAP connection is fast (use proxydroid)
Of course you can play music in background :)
Well this phone can definitely replace a car GPS assistant.
Oh and it's free as stock app

Its WAP HSPDA, no way getting iit to work on Edge in Lebanon... (0.3 - 2 KB/s :P )

I'm using OSMand+, very accurate naming, same features above except search by spell (cause naming is arabic). And hey, its offline.

500k is vector-based data, unlike Google Maps (images)

Does OSMand provides the maps too?

Yep the big advantage is that the street names are in english,dunno if it's based on google maps names or HTC proprietary GPS app because when I shut down the car app there is an app called ''navigation'' that's running in background.
Anyway it definitily replace a GPS device like a 250$ garmin with 4.2'' screen, this phone has 4.7''
Now I dunno if I buy the original HTC holder from France (they didn't bring it here) because the 10$ holder is beginning to be unstable
