You think it's only India that has problems with bad/expensive network
coverage? I can't drive down the M5 without loosing a data connection,
so OSMAND is the only way to work and that works on cheap android
devices. I've actually got it running on a £40 tablet for a bigger sat
nav display ...

All that is lacking is that other apps go to OSMAND rather than trying
to get google maps running ... which only works with a network link?
