I hope someone who is much more knowledgeable about technology than me could help me with this problem.
I bought the LGL41C that was the TSV a couple of months ago. I havelooked in the tutorials and the user manual about GPS, but really don't understand it all. I understand about turning the location GPS on or off, but I want the type of GPS that tells me the route to travel as I drive. How do I do this? Do I have to install an app from an outside source, and if I do, which one is good and is free or low cost?
In addition, I tried sending some pictures via phone and followed the steps in the tutorial. But the contact did not get the pictures. I was able to follow all the steps until I got to the middle where it says to "push the OK button". I never had a screen with OK as an option, so I am wondering if I have something set somewhere that doesn't allow sending pictures or what.
Thanks for any helpful suggestions.
Like I said, I have looked at the manual and the tutorials several times for both problems and just can't figure it out.

Is it Google maps? You have to put in a destination for the GPS portion of Google maps or any GPS app to work. Once you put in a destination, select navigate, go or what ever the apps has for starting the function. Be advised, GPS uses data from your data plan the entire time it's working. With Google maps, it works in the background if you don't turn it off. On my iPhone, I double push the home button, find Google maps and swipe it up.

The Google Maps app is free,but other navigation apps can cost more than a $1. http://www.androidauthority.com/best-gps-app-and-navigation-app-for-android-357870/
When you use a navigation turn app on an smartphone you need to use a data plan. You can check the Tracfone site for data prices .
You question about this phone and sending photos by text message. You should contact Tracfone.

Thank you for your responses. I have made copies of them in Word so I can reread them and follow your suggestions step by step.
