What happens if your using your android as a GPS and someone calls you? Do you lose the GPS, or is there a way see the navigation and talk?
I know its not a good idea to be talking and navagating at the same time, and thats not my point. I would like to know that when the GPS is in a time of need a phone call isn't going to abandon the GPS. We all know that call will come at the worst possible time.
This happened to my cousin on the way to Xmas dinner this year. Everyone was calling here, not knowing someone else just called, to find out if she was lost. We all laughed about it later to find out she was telling everyone to stop calling her because her GPS feature stopped every time the phone rang. I don't have the brand smart phone she uses, but I would think you could block a call if you trying to navigate, especially when its illegal to talk on the phone and drive at the same time.(unless hands free in CT anyway) The program knows your driving and on the move, why would it allow the call?
just thinking out loud.....
