A:AnswerYes, the unit will work (navigation) in your car without a smartphone. We have used the unit for several months without any problems. To get traffic, however, you need to have the unit connected to a smart phone - we have not used the traffic feature on the unit.
A:AnswerHi there!
Correct, the SD card slot is present for extra storage for either maps, or saved routes. More information can be found here:

A:AnswerUnfortunately, no. You have to hook up through bluetooth from your phone and use MyDrive to get that information. I used to have the same configuration that you did and it was very convenient. This is a great unit, but I would say that this is the only frustrating thing about it.
A:AnswerProbably NAVSTAR (United States) or GALILEO (Europe), depending on where you are in the world. See "How Does GPS Work" on YouTube: https://youtu.be/FU_pY2sTwTA

A:AnswerHi there,
This device isn't really suitable for larger vehicles. For such use, you will be best looking at the Go Professional series
