Forget ‘2nd left’ and ‘3rd right’. Street Names will tell you the name
of the street or road you need to turn into. This feature is normally only found on the most expensive
in-car GPS systems.

for a step-by-step installation guide to Street Names.
An integrated business directory lets you search more than 1.5 million business listings, find a business, view their contact details and gives you directions to their front door.
Vodafone Compass includes petrol prices provided by Motormouth. Where available, petrol prices are updated twice daily and you can find the cheapest petrol nearby or even on route to your destination.
Looking for a restaurant nearby to grab a quick bite to eat or for a special occasion? You can check a restaurant’s rating, call to make a booking and get directions to the front door or closest parking.
Save your favourite locations, office and home addresses and your 50 most recent destinations, it’s quick and easy and select where you want to go.
A street directory is out of date the minute it’s published. Other GPS devices require you to buy new maps every time a new road or intersection is updated. With Vodafone Compass maps are updated automatically for free so you’ll always have the most current route.
Choose between taking tolls roads or toll-free and then select the shortest route to save petrol, or the quickest route to save time. With Vodafone Compass you can choose how you get there.

reasons. Do not use a mobile while you are at the wheel and never send or read a text or picture
message while driving. Ask in-store for details on what handset cradles are available.
