Understanding Android Auto vs. Waze
Not sure which GPS type you need? Here's the quick version:
- Waze on phone: Navigation works anywhere—walking, driving, or as a passenger. The app runs directly on your phone's screen.
- Android Auto only: Navigation displays on your car's touchscreen when connected. Requires a compatible vehicle (2016+). No standalone navigation on the phone itself.
- Both: Maximum flexibility—use the phone screen when walking, switch to car display when driving.
The Fig Core is Android Auto only—it won't give you directions unless you're connected to a compatible car. If you need navigation outside the car, choose a phone with Waze.

Dumb Phone with GPS FAQs
Do I need a special phone plan for GPS?
GPS navigation uses your phone's data connection for real-time traffic updates. Make sure your plan includes data. Basic turn-by-turn navigation works without data, but you won't get traffic info or route recalculations.
Can I use Google Maps on a dumb phone with GPS?
Most GPS-enabled dumb phones use Waze for navigation rather than Google Maps. Waze is owned by Google and provides similar turn-by-turn directions with real-time traffic updates.
What's the difference between Waze and Android Auto?
Waze means navigation is built into the phone—works anywhere, walking or driving. Android Auto means the phone connects to your car's display to show navigation on the bigger screen. Some phones have both, some have only one.
What about the Fig Core?
The Fig Core is Android Auto only—it doesn't have Waze installed on the phone itself, but when you connect it to a car with Android Auto, you can use Waze through the car's display. Best for people who only need navigation while driving.
Which phone has extra apps like Uber and email?
The Qin F30 with Apps includes Uber, email, and banking apps in addition to GPS navigation. All other GPS phones are limited to calls, texts, camera, music, and navigation only.
Which GPS phone is TAG certified?
Only the Wonder Phone is TAG certified among the GPS-enabled phones.
