Yes but you will only hear the audio. you will have to be in BT mode and using the function of the phone (ie. music, pandora, etc...)

Yes and No. You cannot install an app to do navigation on this unit. With that said, if you have Garmin installed on your iPhone 5S, and you connect the phone with the USB cable to the radio, then you can display the GPS map from the phone on the Radio display! The display is just a display, and has no ability to do touch commands. You control the app from your phone. It works but I was not that impressed with the quality of the image on the radio. Hope this helps. PD. BTW... It is a great radio! My favorite feature, I love streaming Pandora from my phone to the unit. If you connect an iPhone via USB cable and run the Pandora app on the radio, it will by-pass the commercials, giving you pure music! Even better, on an Android phone, you can connect via BT and still have the commercial free Pandora (no cable needed). It works great. Also I strongly, very strongly, suggest you also get a rear view camera installed. Will never have a car without a rear view camera. That is the best. All cars should have it.

Yes. It comes with a map function that is the same as GPS, and you can also get several free GPS apps.

It will connect to Android, but to use it the "allow mock locations" setting must be on, which invalidates most gps-based apps. Ensure that the app you want to use allows mock locations.

This video will explain where it knows you're at. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZSaMUfWstc You don't need a smart phone with any stand alone GPS. This device cannot link to a smart phone. I have a high end Garmin that can link up to a smart phone, but it's option for hands free conversations and enhanced traffic.

Hello, No, you must have a working data connection to use Google Maps and Navigation. Best Regards, Mobile Tablet Shop

Hello Jazz1, To get real-time traffic information on all new TomTom GO models you do indeed use your smartphone to connect to the TomTom Traffic services. To be clear, your smartphone is NOT required for navigation purposes at all, it is only used when gathering traffic information in your area. You do not need to be connected to a smartphone to use the GPS and navigation features, it's only if you want the latest traffic information while driving. Depending on your cellular provider your coverage may vary by location. However, the GO device updates the latest traffic in your area every 2 minutes. Therefore, if you happen to be driving in an area where cellular service is going in and out, you might not even notice since your device will still have the last traffic information it received and will get the latest update once your phone connects again. The GO device will provide you a picture of the traffic within a 1 hour drive, and provide you a route around it (i.e. the fastest route) whenever there is traffic between you and your destination. The GO 500 includes a lifetime subscription to TomTom Traffic so you'll never have to worry about paying for this advanced traffic service in the future. Additionally, the new GO models all come with lifetime maps getting you 4 map updates per year for the lifetime of your device. Hope this information helps! Let us know in case of other questions.

Yes. Using the phone navigate programs? Yes. Definitely when your using the kenwood navigation system.

I've not seen that ability in the menus. Only to connect to a phone and to use the GPS as the audio.

The BT is a GPS, not a navigation system, as such it just sends data. If you wish to do the things in your question you will need a navigation program to use the BT. BTW it is an awesome GPS!

It does not have GPS hardware for driving navigation. It will use Google Location services to show your current WiFi location

Yes and it will also depend on the program or app and how will you use it. Pair it via computer or smartphone.

I don't know about nagagation but no it doesn't have navigation. Don't buy this radio it's a fail!!!!

I am sure it is. i downloaded offline maps with the google maps app (latest version allows you to do that), and that would allow you to use navigation even without cellular service. It will only work if you have map data for the area you are in.

No, unfortunately it has GPS or nav capability built in- just audio sources/bluetooth & Pandora controls in conjunction with your smart phone & Pandora app.
