    Good one but apart from weather, distance and wiki not finding very usefult. It asks you to subscribe spotify or youtube or google play. It works only with private network within home. I was not able to connect with my hotspot account. and use them during my drive. It will be very useful if it can connect to our mobile data card and take them along
