Castielo I'm having a battery drain issue also I'm pretty sure it is draining faster than normal because my phone last all day with my regular usage. Something about streetpilot is draining the battery, I'm suspecting it is a process also because of the fact streetpilot wasn't meant for other phones it could be anything from optimization to something that is constantly on even when exiting Streetpilot.

I will do what Catymag said about turning off the GPS after exiting streetpilot to see if that makes a difference.

I have copy Cyclops unlocked to POI folder but they do not show.
Do they work for anybody?

Use SP in your car with something like this and your USB cable

catymag I disable the GPS at 67% battery without any phone use the battery is at 65% now after 4 hours. Thanks

Hi thanks for bringing the Garmin to Android...
This works nicely in my Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket (AT&T version of S2 with LTE), I have only one problem, the navigation announcement is overlapping with the music, normally in TomTom or Google Navigation, the music volume fades, when there is navigation announcement. Is anyone else having this issue?
