A home screen for the Android head unit or tablet in your car. A wallpaper (photos, an animated aurora or a gradient) fills the screen and the interface takes its colours from it. On top are a big clock, a network strip, the weather, a Now playing card, buttons that start navigation to your saved places, and a dock with your apps.

No. It is an ordinary app for head units that run plain Android, and you choose it as the home app. It draws no map: navigation is started in the navigation app you already use. Source: https://roadlet.gpm-apps.com/ ### Where can I get it? Nowhere yet: the app is not released. This page will say so until it is. Source: https://roadlet.gpm-apps.com/ ### Who writes the themes? Anyone. A theme is data, a file that sets the wallpaper, the colours and the layout, never code. The catalogue is published on this site and the app reads it only while you have the Themes screen open. Source: https://roadlet.gpm-apps.com/ ### What is free and what is Pro? Everything on the device is free: themes, wallpapers, widgets, modules and saved places. Pro is keeping your configuration in step between devices, for two cars or a car and a tablet at home. The F-Droid build is free and complete except sync. Source: https://roadlet.gpm-apps.com/ ### Does it need an account?
