Android apps

Managed to get my ERISIN head unit mostly working, but really struggling with the apps on it - can anybody point me at a general source of help on such things?

For example, the home screen navigation app is something called iGo, but its graphics are very sparse – just lines for roads, really, not much else. You’re supposed to be able to download maps, but that option is greyed out.

So I fired up Google Maps (also included), and it looked much better, but it always points north – so when I’m driving south, my little blue dot is moving downwards, which is very counter-intuitive. I can’t change it, as there are none of the familiar icons, like Settings or Compass.

Do I have cut-down versions of apps or something? Can I upgrade them?

Can I change the apps (or are they widgets?) on the home screen (eg to have Google Maps – if I can get it work right – as my default nav amp)?

ERISIN support isn't much help, and I haven't been able to find much on the net
