Nexus 7 General Discussion / Re: About to purchase Nexus7, but first a GPS nav question.

Afaik, the nexus 7 tablet's navigation works the same as the phones:
If you are in Wifi range when you are planning your trip, it will download all maps needed. You can then drive to your destination and get turn-by-turn directions, even if no wifi signal is available. However, if you stray too far from your original route, it will not have those maps downloaded and will not do turn-by-turn anymore.
My N7 is always hooked up to my phone through Wifi, so I don't really have a problem with that (unless the phone loses cell signal).
