* it's simple to use.
* Works when the phone screen is off and tucked away out of sight in a
pocket.

its installed - no need to download map data files.
* Uses the same high quality navigation data as Google Maps
* Addresses and Places/POI data available globally, anywhere
Android can get on line
* Only announces eight compass points (North, North East, East etc).
* Has intelligible speech and does not continuously interrupt itself with updates.

* Allows multiple waypoints to be saved. These may be named, deleted
or made active.

be used to hands free start NotNav when leaving home, and then
pausing it when arriving at work, for example.
