Make pit stops in navigation mode with Google Maps' update for Android My main gripe with the navigation software in my GMC Terrain is that whenever I stop while navigating, say at a rest area, the software completely loses track of the trip destination and I have to re-initiate navigation all over again. Some times it remembers, but usually it forgets, which is ridiculous. Frankly, I think all the auto companies ought to simply support CarPlay and Android Auto and leave the software development to the companies that know what they are doing. #

Fossil Q Connected Wearables Launched This watch looks pretty nice, although I haven't seen any specs that indicate its size. Fossil has been one of the "traditional" watch makers that has dabbled with smartwatches in the past, being one of the original Microsoft SPOT watch partners. Fossil and others seemed to take a "wait and see" approach this time around, and my guess is the Apple Watch compelled them to get back in the market. #

HTC's One A9 is a $399 iPhone running Android 6.0. The A9 is probably the best small-screen (5-inch) Android phone to be announced and the only thing that would make me hesitant about buying it is the small battery. My Moto X has taught me that battery life is one of the most important aspects of smartphones, and I am not sure a 2150 mAh battery would cut it for me. Another thing about the A9 is that it feels like a "hail mary" to me for HTC, if they can't sell a phone that looks like an iPhone and only costs $400, they might not be able sell any phone. #
