It would be nice to know if I could set up a google navigation route while in WiFi and have the phone cache the route/turn info. I know it's not quite as useful in case we get off course, but it's still somewhat useful.
When you are wifi connected, Google maps will display your location as well as allow you to scroll to whereever you want. I reside in U.S. but am currently in UK and google is loading UK maps. Problem is that evertime you scroll to a different location on the screen, google updates display using data dowloaded via internet so without data connection it will not update display. Don't know if it will store route info to access while you are on the road, didn't try it.
