Hi there!
I would know if there is a way to lanch car panel with another gps software which is not google maps, I have sygic installed and I would like that the car panel lanuch sygic instead of google maps, is there a way to make this possible??
no one, really??
On mine, the last setting in the settings menu is default navigation program and I'm guessing it will show any nav program you have installed.

I'm looking for some kind of physical remote that can control the Motorola Xoom.
Remote control functions in order of importance to me:
Pause/Play/FF/RW Audio
Launch voice search
Launch media player
Launch Navigation / Maps
Launch text search
Be able to turn the screen on/off
Volume / Mute
Dim/Brighten the screen
I've noticed much of this functionality exists on the official Motorola Xoom bluetooth keyboard but the form factor would not work for a remote control.
My ideal solution
Bluetooth remote about the size of a credit card.
App that allows me to map any button on the remote any action on the device.
Random questions:
Are there any recommended bluetooth remote controls?
Are there any apps that would allow me to map remote buttons to specific actions?
If not... Would the Android SDK allow me to pair with any bluetooth device (i.e. PS3 Remote)? Also, would the SDK allow me access to actions like launching applications? What about system settings like screen brightness. My day job is software development but I have no experience on Android however I do have Java experience.
Would rooting my device help me gain this functionality?
Thanks a lot

The first 2 are possible without any external applications and/or coding. Android supports (if you have the hardware) AVRCP, which is the protocol for audio control. Voice search is also available as well.
However, the rest of the controls you want to use will not work with Android, and if my predictions are right, will never work unless a ROM comes out with such controls.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply.
The motorola Xoom keyboard offers all except:
Voice Search
Launch Maps/Navigation
Screen on/off
Screen brightness
I feel like voice search & maps are possible. Sceen on/off & brightness I could see being an issue.
I picked up a Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard today and tried various key combinations (i.e. Windows+B launched the browser). The volume controls on the keyboard also worked (no mute button though).
Previous versions of android allows you to define "Quick Launch" items, which means that you could say (Search+X) launches "Application Y". I do not know why this feature isnt exposed in 3.0/Honeycomb. This would partially solve my voice search & navigation requirements (I'd still need a remote & the ability to map its buttons to key combinations).
The Wii Controller IME App maps the buttons of a Ninetento Wii remote to keystrokes, so I know the SDK allows such.

I seemed to have made a rash thought when I replied to you last night. You are correct; sorry about that.
Volume buttons will also work because of AVRCP, and brightness controls will also work as well.
The Quick Launch feature (one that I've never used) is something that I have seen, so if you have hardware where when you press a button sends something like ALT-D and all you have to do is map it in the settings...
The only problem is finding actual hardware for this. I'm pretty sure if you just bought a simple small bluetooth keyboard you can do this, but then comes the lack of the AVRCP controls.
I would wait some more, because something of your interests is bound to be created sometime soon.
anyone know what the name of the turn by turn navigation app is on the stock tf101?
Does anyone know who makes it? Is it a google app or an asus app? was it discontinued?
and finally does anyone know of the apk is avalable for donload somewhere?

The navigation app was a part of Maps. When Maps updated to version 7, the nav icon disappeared. You can now just open the Maps app and tap the curved arrow on the right of the search box to get turn by turn directions.
If you really want it back you can uninstall updates to the Maps app and disable automatic updating and you can still have your nav icon.
Turn by turn is still there, it's just been merged into the Google Maps app. It's a huge improvement this way. Previously, Maps and Navigation were two separate apps, and the transitions between them were jarring (going from maps search to nav was ok, but clicking back out of nav dumped you to the homescreen, losing your search). They each had their own app cache, so you'd be waiting for the maps to load twice, etc... Seriously, the flow of the new Maps app is way better now. I've been using it daily.

does anybody know a navigation app which has a widget?
I would like to have a permanent view of actual gps position in a map widet. My plan is to show this widget on the homescreen of my android car navigation device (roadnavi S160, Kitkat 4.4.4). So if I switch on the device I can immediately see my position even without having specified a route.
Til now I did not find any navigation software that offers such a widget. I read about multiwindow module in xposed framework, but this seems to be not very stable.
Does anyone have a good idea, how to solve this?
Long story short, I purchased an android radio and the android auto interface works through an app (Autokit).
The Radio has a navigation shortcut button that opens the preferred/default navigation app and also activates a split screen function.
I want to be able to use the android auto interface in the split screen configuration so I need to get the radio to see "Autokit" as an option to use for the default navigation app.
Still haven't figured that out after months of use... How to prevent the phone from switching to Do Not Disturb when Google Maps is navigating?
Thanks!
Hey, I found a subreddit regarding this same query and here is the solution:
In Google Maps, when in the navigation screen click the four square in the lower right corner. That will allow you to tap on a settings icon in the apps list. From there turn off Auto Start Driving Assistant.
