KitKat is downright awesome!  That is all I can say.  It is so! good, that I've 
literally barely even picked up my IPhone/IPad since getting my Moto X.  I'm 
almost at the point of saying, I'll never! look back!  I'm not fully converted 
yet, but I'd say I'm 95% there.

    Hi,

    Don't like the new launcher, I replaced it with Nova very quickly.  The 
phone is gerat though, except it is not the best for audio output.  When the 
audio channel is closed there is a definite crackle if you have headphones on.  
My Mot G has better audio, but the Nexus 5 is a nice phone.

    All the best

    ok I will, how are you liking the nexus 5 and the new launcher? I’m 
possibly thinking about replacing my S4 with a nexus 5 or a moto x

        Hi Claire,

        Try a new app called GuideDroid from Ideal Group.  You will be 
pleasantly surprised.  It's a great little GPS app and it's free.

        You can also add favourites and get it to take you to any of your 
existing contacts as well.

        All the best

        Hi All,
        I tried out the GPS capabilities on my Android phone using Walky Talky 
to go to a well-know computer store. I wasn't sure how to hold my smartphone as 
I thought that usiing earbuds wasn't safe. Secondly, I was surprsised that the 
application did not announce much information about from the odd directions on 
when to turn, I mostly had to rely on my limited vision to see the big arrow on 
the screen. I was expecting more detailed information about what buildings were 
around me also. Was I expecting too much ?
        Any advice from more experienced users would be welcome.
        Thanks
        Claire
