Hi, I'm looking for a google maps style program which I can actually download a map pack for to use to navigate to places... I don't have gps and I don't want to use the internet, I just want to do a search for a street address.
I live in Australia and was wondering if anyone knew a good program which would suite me?
Thanks heaps
You could always install tomtom with aussie maps as you can browse the maps even if there is no gps signal...
Any reason why you don't wanna use the net? I find its one of the main features of the phone...
well, I do use the net on the phone for some things... but I really just want to store the maps so I don't have to download each time like with google maps.
How do I go about getting tomtom? I think I did actually have tomtom on the phone when I first got it, but it wouldn't start without a gps plugged in.
The maps cost money don't they?
Is there a free alternative at all?
I have the Garmin 10x bluetooth GPS reciever that came with maps, and even does voice tun by turn. I use it when driving. It was 120.00USD, but I believe that you can get oz maps too.

thanks heaps mate, works perfectly
Cheers mate... You could always buy a keyfob sized gps for $60-100 to get that fully functional...
I've tried using the search but it comes up with nothing when i type google maps and tom tom unless there is something wrong with my browser.
anyway.
i wanted to know if i had google maps on my hd could i store all the info on the sd card and have it run off that and not use my data pack on my plan?
if not what about with the tomtom software can i do it with that?
pretty much i want the gps to work like a navman would or a tom tom or something that doesnt download anything everytime its being used...
and i can always update the maps when more updates come out?
cheers
yeah it's possible with both google map & tomtom.
no info on how this is done or where to get the applications?
What is the best gps mapping software to use offline ?
The google maps is great when at home, but I don't want the expensive roaming data charges when abroad. I need the maps to be already on my phone.
Thanks for any help.

Google Navigator - not associated with Google - download and use Google maps offline
Thanks very much - that looks great.
i'm looking for it...
I didn't know there was any offline map from google. As far as I know, all you can do is calculating the route and saving the map parts needed for your trip.
I use mapdroyd for offline maps. Have not found a suitable solution for google maps yet. Mapdroyd works just fine, you should give it a try...
Hello all,
I just purchased the Xtrons TM100L and will be installing it today. I originally was going to use Googe Maps or Waze tethering my phone. However I would like to be able to use one of the apps that just uses the GPS signal along with offline maps in case I'm in an area that does not have good data reception for my phone. I'm looking for suggestions on where to download the maps and what app will work well with those offline maps.
