Gps Navigation

[6036craig]

Hi to all,
general question. - I have a HTC Desire which has Navigation Pre installed.
When I ask for a location and begin driving it shows the time it should take before I arrive, sometimes its is green, orange or red, - what do these colors mean.
Also how do I update my navigation as some of if seems out of date. And thirdly If I just want to drive with the scrolling map with out actually setting an end point how do i do that
Thanks
Craig Aven

By "navigation" are you referring to Google Maps/Nav? It's not the only nav app out there so be sure to be very clear when referring to it.

The colors indicate traffic along your route (black means no data). Click on the colored dot and you'll see where the problem is and you can then choose to go to route options to pick an alternate route, if desired.

What do you mean by "update" and "some of it seems out of date"? If it's map data that's downloaded on the fly. You'd have to contact Google for map updates as maps aren't part of the app itself. The app itself is updated via the Market.

If you just want to drive without nav then open up Google Maps instead of Nav.
