hey there this is adam lane park now calm we're on the car today at the test out HTC's new locations at this is a gps navigation program for HTC windows phone 7 devices let's check it out okay so here we have HTC locations and one first starts up you're going to see a couple little bubbles with texts that explain a few of the buttons so you can learn how to how to use it so right now we have a map screen here and if you tap it it'll go to the map you have some buttons you can do directions search download maps let's go to here's our map download so you can download a map data for offline usage and let's show you which countries we can do and let's compare it with the Anokhi drive so you see by continent here and we see also by content in here Asia Europe so we see a lot of the same countries so it looks like we're pretty covered both on HTC and nokia maps and now HTC has a panoramic view so we can quickly go to the recent locations over there and footprints which are kind of like favorites but you can add pictures here's a new favorite a new footprint rather so there's your title you can add a voice memo and put it in a category and you can take a picture if you want a picture for your location favorite enoki drives interface is a lot different much more simple all we really have is a set destination button and then you can do search over here we have a search and we have the phone number we can call we can see what's nearby we can just show it on the map you see everything here we can add a footprint with a picture and everything we can share it and we can drive to it your route has been calculated after 100 meters let's see how it goes that's give me some good voice prompts for directions I'm going to turn right instead of left and we'll see it recalculate didn't recalculate yet now Joe right there we go now what happens if I am in a different program after 300 meters turn right voice prompts finish but it doesn't keep going so you have to swap back into the app to get the directions back now another thing that neither these do is integrate with vain search or bing maps so say I found a location using bein or local search or bing maps ideally a GPS navigation program would have a navigate to button here or it would show up in the apps listing so that you can really easily just start at navigation to the allocation unfortunately HTC locations does not show up here neither does nokia drive so that's kind of a pain it's seems like an easy thing to do and you see it has to recalculate the route after 150 meters turn right but we have a good display of information here so looks pretty good now let's go to settings we have automatic map language we have units as metric let's make that p real you can choose different colors for the map well no just night colors or day colors and we have options for voting different types of roads and fairies and what not there so that's pretty good we also have alarms for speed cameras as well as if you are going over the speed limit there's your other options and that's it and while driving HTC also has a cool feature that will tell you which lane to get into before you turn so that's really helpful we don't have that on nokia drive overall I think the winner here is HTC's navigation program it has a few extra features that really work well so that's our look at HTC locations give us a thumbs up like this video and that's it for now
