As many of us updated to the new froyo rom which gps navigation program are you using?
I was using copilot but it doesn't work on 2.2 anymore.
Which one do you guys suggest?
I guess you mean other than google's?
Infact the built in gps app doesn't even work for me :/ + it needs data connection

Sygic Mobile Maps 10 works on Froyo, and I suspect so does Ndrive.
Co-Pilot working perfect for me. Try clearing the cache and re-installing.
This is actually typical of CoPilot. On PC, their copy in Australia only worked on Windows XP reliably, years after vista/Windows 7 was released.
I'd never pay a cent to copilot again. However, your problems also may have something to do with it being a pre-release
Ndrive version 10 works out the box so to speak..
Update your CoPilot, the latest version works with Froyo.
Navigon 2.6.1 is also working with Froyo
BUMP
I'm using the fyodor froyo 0.7.2c Custom ROM to Tattoo and nDrive doesn't work. I try installing in SD and IM, neither works, anyone know why?
Igo/motonav works just fine.

copilot works in Froyo
just make sure you have the newest version
you can download it from copilot website
After testing many programs in the last 3 or 4 years, I am certain that iGo kicks it.
The iGo variation that is workin fine on the gs is iGo Motonav
You can see it in action here:

Just skip the intro about the external gps receiver
I also made a video with the gs running Navigon but I forgot to adjust the zoom settings on it..and other things
Both videos actually are on this thread:

just ff to the navigation part
Sygic Mobile maps 10 is very complete too

Alright, since my post was deleted in the Oxygen Thread regarding Navigation Software, i'll ask this here: Are there any Navigation Packages that are currently working on Oxygen (or Gingerbread as a whole) ?
I looked everywhere and could not find a conclusive answer.
Post your personal experiences if you would.
As in the satnav app? That comes with Google Maps.
Igo, Ndrive

You have to pay for those though don't you?
Google is your friend. Search hard and be patient.
I'm on Gingervillian 0.8 and using iGo with Australia maps. No problems so far. Can't comment on other roms.

I currently do not have unlimited data coverage, therefore Google Maps Nav is out of the question.
I'll see if I can try the packages mentioned so far, but i'm still open to suggestions
@friedkimchi
I can't find iGo on the Android Market, seems only "business clients" have access to it, whatever that means.
What about Ndrive or Sygic?

you have to pay for navigon as well.
but they announced, that the support for 2.3 will come soon, see http://www.navigon.com/portal/int/uebernavigon/presse/artikel/110215_AndroidUpdate_MWC2011.html
so for now, we have to wait for navigon to release the update
i am using brutmod maps with oxygen 2.0 without any problems. via wifi you can download the map tiles for the app to cache before you travel.

thank you, guess I can switch to Gingerbread after all and update Navigon at a later date... even though I have to compromise and use my Dad's shoddy SatNav from Falk (never get yourself one of these).

3.5.4 is in the market btw, WITH gb support
Hi guys,
Been on the dark side for the last 8 months (iPhone 4) and thinking on getting the new Samsung Galaxy S II.
From the specs looks like a great device and really looking forward to its release. In the meantime I would like to know which navigation app will be compatible with Android 2.3? Do I have to use a custom ROM to use free apps?
Thanks for any replies.
For example you can use Sygnic Aura, it will work on SGS II
I am also waitinging for this phone
Free apps you can download from Android Market.
Thanks, will I need a custom ROM?
No you do not need custom.
It works on stock ROMs without any problems.
What about Google's own Navigator? I'm pretty sure it's free but I can't remember, it came already installed with Google Maps & Street View on my Galaxy Tab.
Is Google Navigation working offline?
I do not know what apps will be instaled by samsung in this phone.

It is working online.
BTW I saw the Google Maps navigation icon on movis from the testers.
This I found in another thread
what you need is ownhere google maps 5.3.1, this is a mod version which enabled world wide navigation just google it...
Android has free map apps that do work offline. I am not sure which ones and too lazy to look it up for ya.

here's a good one http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android
I use Google Maps' Navigator on the HTC Desire, in the car with an upgrade kit (mount & charger). I'd be interested in getting the same when I get the GS2 as it is a fantastic piece of software.
Tx for the sygic aura tip !
Looks pretty neat, map coverage is much better than Copilot, 3D feature and graphics look great and the prize is VERY reasonable ! Almost whole world for 100 bucks !
That will be my first app purchase once my SGSII has arrived
Well why don't you wait and try google navigation, it's free and it will download your route (as long as you have a data connection when you start your journey)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Google Maps/Navigation caches your route and most visited locations so it has semi-offline capabilities.
what about copilote or Ndrive?
I hope tomtom don't take to long. I know they are concerned about piracy. But i will pay when they do decide.

Navigon is a great paid option

Navigon is great alright, however they have outdated Q3 2010 maps and does not seem they will update them any soon.
Copilot only £16.99 does this work ok? or can you get for free~?
Co-Pilot or Sygic dont work!
What are you guys using?
Which version of Sygic did you try? When I will get my phone I will test Sygic Fleet 14r because I need it for bussines phones...

Then mark it as not compatible... Fleet version is not avalible on Market and I newer had any issue with app no mather which version of Android I had... I hope that it will work on ICS too
im using co-pilot premium which works fine on mine, sometimes closes immediately but upon re-opening it is fine
my copilot 8 works fine for me.
I had issue with Navigon 4 which they refunded me because it wasn't yet compatible with ICS.
Route 66 recetly released on market.
I'll be trying it later today

Dear S,
Thank you for contacting CoPilot Technical Support.
Please be aware that at the moment copilot is not fully compatible with the ice cream sandwich OS, we are working to release an update very soon through the android market..
If you have any further questions, or feel that this incident has not been resolved to your satisfaction, please do not hesitate to bring this to our attention.

I've got Nav Free on mine, not used it yet but started it up to see if it will run and it found my location no problem and seems to be working ok. Like i say though i haven't actually used it so you may find probems i haven't if you do use it.

I can confirm that Sygic FLEET v 8.30 also work ok on Galaxy Nexus but I don't know if is avalible for end users...

Google doesn't have Navigation. It is avalible only for USA and few other countrys also it spend your data and this can be problem if you have limited data plan (100MB) like me. 100Mb is more than enought for me because in office&home and other places I use WiFi...

No "travlel via" or "avoid road" or "alternative route" options. It always tries to put me on M60 around junction 9 during rush hour. It's a no go zone at this time and there is no way to tell it to your google navigator.
Any news about a god sat nav for ICS?
Still no news? Satnav is about the only thing I'm missing

Hi,
I just installed "NAVFREE".
I did not had a chance to proper test it just for a few miles. it is working but 'i did not liked the roots it took. just a bit of extra miles when rooting.
hope navigon will make a good version for SGN.
Navfree isn't great.. told me to take the 4th exit on a couple of roundabouts that only have 3 exits, and I needed the second :/

Try the free ones from MapQuest or Waze.
If you are following Sygic official tweeter, they said Sygic 4.0 will be released before the end of the year. It supports ICS.
In fact, you can go to their support forum to try the beta version.
I am using 3.0 version 11.2.2, it is a very good app. It has problem in the past with stability, but the latest version fixed it. Tested last weekend with 300 km driving, flawless.
Cant wait their ICS version!
Hi guys
Is any one using inbuilt navigation which comes with galaxy s2 because I am not able to use it always it shows an error googles maps not yet available in this location
Can anyone suggest me any app that I can use in galaxy for navigation
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Hi,
I use waze for navigation. It works really well and it's free.
Personally i don't like the Maps with Navigation that comes with our phone in default. Aside from the ugly look, it always run in background( battery consuming). So I uninstalled it and instead used the Sygic Aura. It's really working good and has a very sleek U.I.
I use Navigon which is great because it gives me multiple routes to choose from and an ETA for each one plus road information so I know where there are delays, accidents or similar obstructions. The only downside is that it doesn't come in my language and that it's fairly pricy (45€).
My wife prefers Sygic Aura because it comes in or native language and has a simple interface (although geting to some options is a pain in the arse). It probably has some better features than my navigation but I'm too biased and love my Navigon. My wife on the other side hates it but we both prefer our apps to stock navigation.
Both options are IMHO way better than the stock option but they aren't free.
+1 on Sygic ive tried them all and that one is car far the best....I drove to Malaga ( spain ) from Wakefield ( UK ) last year and it didnt let me down once
I have a back up of navfree just in case and that works spot on as well
Navigon
Navigon is prety cool but a bit expensive :/
I used Navigon and Copilot, and the last one is better imo
ive used navigon(needs 3g to start) sygic had got a lot of fc's in ics 4.0.3 and copilot(didn't run on ics befor so am not running it) and my favorit...igo8 for android...runs on GB and ICS ,is an offline navigation ,maps can be updated any time you want ,just search google ,different skins can be installed ,2steps ahead arrow road turning points .can edit android windows mobile maps/voice/speedcams....1 minnor because it's an offline nav...there is no tmc ,so you have to listen to the radio a lot
mike
I use Navigon select, but today downloaded samsung navigator and maps of Scandinavia. Well, the app maybe good but I can't test it really, looks like even having offline maps, it still needs online services available. Looks like poi are only available online. Ah, this app is far away from usable.

Can anyone confirm that "Sygic GPS Navigation" works on CM 7.2 Stable ?
Anybody got it working ?
When i launch it,it just shows the black screen and then throws me to home screen while sygic keep running in background,when i open the notification bar and tap on it the same thing happens.
I have tried Sygic GPS Navigation v11.2.6 and v12.1.3.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
This is my first ever post on any forum...i would like to express my gratitude to every contribute on this forum for sharing knowledge and helping others...this is priceless.
I have exactly the same problem, after opening Sygic the screen goes blank and nothing happens.
I have tried it with gps on/gps off, wifi on/wifi off...but nothing worked. I have also uninstall and re-install Sygic...re-downloaded the basic files and maps, but still no luck.
I would like to mention here that my Sygic was working fine with stock ROM but after installing CM 7.2 it stopped working.
Please if anyone had found any solution can they please post it.
I have Sygic Mobile Maps 10 and it is working like a charm on cm7 and sense 2.2. Download the mobile maps version, maybe the sygic gps navigation is not conpatible on wildfire

Which device are you using ?
I don't think it's not compatible with wildfire coz it was working on Stock ROM.
I have tried "Aura v2.1.2" and following versions of Sygic GPS Navigation:
v11.2.0
v11.2.2
v11.2.3
v11.2.6
v12.1.3
I am clueless
Anyone ?
