   You're right, Hotspot means Wifi.   And yes, I was talking about   
   Bluetooth.  I'm glad you figured it out, and I'm glad I gave details   
   about the phone and the car.  :-)

   Wow   
      
   I guess I should look at the app when I turn off the radio.   Usually   
   I'm driving and try to distract myself as little as possible, but I   
   could do this while standing still too.  Also usually the map is showing   
   on the phone, so if Tunein shows that it has paused, I wouldn't see it.   
      
   I guess I could have thought to look without posting here, but it did   
   not occur to me (Sometimes it's hard to believe I'm as smart as my   
   mother said I am.) I've been in the car from Thursday night to Monday   
   morning.  About 600 miles.  Plenty of time to have thought of this but I   
   didn't.   
      
   Tomorrow I will watch the phone app while I turn the radio off.   
      
   I also got a new map DVD in the mail today.

   Wow.  Those people who make this stuff are so clever.

   It's directly applicable.  Not necessarily binding, but I bet mine works   
   like youre does.  The situation is the same.   If that's what's   
   happening, it's pretty stupid of me to change to FM and then change back   
   again just to pick up where I left off with the same annoying commercial   
   I tried not to hear.   LOL   
      
      
      
   Thanks, Bertrand.  I waited to answer you until I got an answer I liked   
   better!
