    GPS and Maps

    Yes, download the maps from Google and they should work. However don't forget that Google isn't the only place to get maps. There are several good map apps available on the play store. I like Navfree and Copilot. Depending on where you live make sure you get the best one for the country you live in.

    Acer Iconia Tab a500

    Are you using he power on/off or the reset by the usb input? Also try plugging it in and letting it charge for an hour or so. Low batteries cause all kinds of strange reactions.And let us know what you found that works. If all else fails send it back to the factory for a replacement.

    Looking for Ebook reader app pdf support and highlighting

    For regular reading of ebooks I like "BlueFire". It is free and handles all the formats. For the ability to do highlights and markups try the Mantano Reader app. there is both a free and a paid version. I use the free and it does everything you described, as needed.

    Docs to Go vs QuickOffice

    I've used Doc's to Go for a very long time and since I got a paid version I always put it on any new device I get.. Also I got Quick Office when it was the free app of the day at Amazon. Both do the same thing so I feel it is more a matter of what you like. If one came pre installed,on your...

    CoPilot not working with ICS

    Found the answer.. It seems that it is necessary to delete the app and the folder that held the original data and app info.. Then do a completely new install. Go through the complete setup and then it works. Pain in the neck but what can you Do?
