People have poked fun at Gmail's eternal beta status, but it makes sense with an interface that is constantly in evolution.

On Android based phones, you don't have to wait for operating system updates pushed to the phone to try new features in development.

Currently in the Navigation are labs for a scale bar, terrain overlay, popular categories, a layering button and compass arrow.

You can access labs navigation by accessing "More" from the menu key.

If you like the YouTube embed lab in Google talk chat in the web interface, it's also part of the Android Google talk chat on the phone, embedding a thumbnail and quick link.

As stated by Google, "Labs is a testing ground for experimental features" giving you a chance to see what the developers are working on for future updates.

The idea is that electronics change rapidly, while cars are in service for years.

Deploying a development layer that can be swapped out easily, extends the life of the car's electronics so that today's Sync doesn't become tomorrow's 8-track player.

Sync now can be used by third-party applications such as Twitter and Pandora. It even provides a Web browser and Wi-Fi hotspot. The new version of Sync is based on the Microsoft Windows Embedded Auto platform. Separately, Ford has announced it has opened the Sync interface to third-party applications running on smartphones. The driver controls the device and application through Sync and the touchscreen. gearlog.com

Current app syncs include, hearing your tweets as they come in, Pandora and Stitcher radio.

PoliceStream has updated their app constantly. You must now enter your original Google order number that came with your emailed receipt to update.

If you have trashed the email receipt, you can get it by logging into Google Checkout

A widget for the desktop was recently added that displays a start/stop button for your most relevant the feed without having to directly open the app.

I haven't had to enter the Google order number yet for any updates, so I haven't had the opportunity to experience your issue.

I would contact the app developer directly at gmlvsk@gmail.com

Beyond the most obvious shortcut on Android phones, the notification shade, lurk many ways to jump between tasks.

The notification shade pulls down from the top of all screens and jumps you to updated content pushed into apps.

Googe Talk is a quick way to reach people on your Gmail list in "real" time. It's the same chat that resides in the Gmail web interface and standalone Windows desktop application.

On an Android phone, Google Talk is integrated into the operating system.

You can reach a person by seeing their status from the contact list. (Here a green dot means they are available) or you can reach them via the green dot embedded in a Gmail.

Floating over the Gmail link to Google Talk will give you a slider of all available connections to that person, email address, facebook, etc. (Here the red dot means that the person is busy)

By sliding Google Chat windows side by side, you can scroll though people avalable for chat or multi-task between multiple conversations.

The first line of a new chat, like texts, will appear momentarily at the top in the phone's status bar before a notification icon appears and stays until the chat is responded to.
