    And in the spirit of Android, just use the inbuilt google navigation. It's hard to beat.
    Or Try 'Navigator' from the playstore.

    Put your destination into maps and when it's been found tap the car icon bottom right and it will give you a choice of routes. You have to have GPS turned on, obviously...;)

    Also keep it charging from the lighter socket - GPS burns battery life otherwise.

    You know it knows where you want to go - so battery conks 5 miles before one way streets, last chance junctions etc...

    If you use Google maps you can download an area to your phone it does have a limited range though view the area you want on the screen and type "ok maps" into the search.
