Hey ppl I just upgraded my defy the new CM7.1 official, now I'm looking for a GPS software to use here in brazil so, good brazil maps are important to me.
can you guys please give me your thoughts about what GPS should I use?
Also, I saw some ppl saying that CM7 does not support A-GPS is that true?
Thx in advance and best regards.
of course it supports A-GPS... as for maps, im using Google Maps and its working fine where i live (remote village of North-East India), i dont know about brazil...
In my opinion, there's not a real good gps app for android yet.
In my case, in Argentina, I use Sygic, Navitel (you can adapt Garmin maps to it) or Ndrive. Each of one has it pros and cons... try them!
Cheers,
Lucas.

Wrong! Igo works on Android and IMHO is the best navigational SW ever! For Motorola, it's called motonav You just need to upload content and license in a folder called motonav on your SD card, then get the motonav.apk and install. Just did it a few hours ago. Works like a charm.

thanks auris. installed igo myway yesterday and tested working very well today
any idea what's the difference between the motonav and myway?
I don't find any difference.
I use latest Sygic on my CM7.1. It has 74% Argentinian road network coverage ATM.

www.tomtom.com ;-)
if your using 3G you could also use Googlemaps for the phone.
for more information: http://www.google.com/mobile/gmm/index.html
point your phones browser to http://www.google.com/gmm
any freebies?
The only free one I know of is Googlemaps that I already spoke about. tTough you pay for the data downloaded via your ISP using 3G/Wifi.
tbh who would make a GPS Navigation application and ask nothing for it?
How about smart2go, you can download the maps for free of Europe and do navigation (on screen) all for free. The only bit you pay for is the voice prompts.
I use tomtom, but I've given it a go and it works pretty well. I'm planning on using it in greece later in the year as there's better coverage than the version of tomtom I have.
It's a little fiddly to get the map loader program to install the maps, but if you try and have a problem let me know and I'll try and find out what I did to get it working.

any source or link? download link?
i would like the tomtom version....actually everyone is talking bout it also.
http://www.smart2go.com (free)
or
http://www.tomtom.com (certainly not free!)
Hehehe.
I love all the answers skirting around what he's asking for...
Nobody can give you a link to Pirated software on this forum, sorry. Search Google for that.
Another FREE alternative is Microsoft Live Search. It's actually a pretty good GPS program if you look around in it. Also, it uses speech recognition to input what you are looking for. Give it a try.
hi there would like to know whats the best gps program out there for the hd, and how to install it with asia maps (philippines),pls help thanks a lot
Basicly I have the same question but I live in Dubai, UAE. I know that Google Maps could be partly a solution. Did someone try Destinator?
Cheers

Does anyone have a GPS program with Swedish maps? Or know where I can get one?
It should also be free
If, where can I download it?

Tomtom(.com) (route planner) works well and has Swedish maps, for oziexplorer(.com) (topografic maps), also Swedish maps exist as I remember well. Both work well but are officially not free.

Ever heard of Google? try tomtom 7.9 pda and it will help you on your way.
Or try news groups. For oziexplorer, there is a demo version on the web site. Maps via news groups
Hi!
I like NaviComputer a lot. It is free and you can use the NaviMapper application, which comes with the installation on your desktop to download OpenStreetMaps. This way you can stay offline all the time, but have great maps.
This tool is not meant to be a Navigation software like TomTom etc.
The only downside of the program in my opinion is, that you cannot search for street names. You always need to have a rough idea, where you want to go.
I'm using it for GeoCaching for instance.

Try sygic mobile maps 10
I am going to the US in two weeks and would like a GPS Nav app that works without a data connection. So far I have looked at reviews for Navigon, NavDroyd, and CoPilot.
What is the best standalone GPS navigation app for Android? Is Navigon worth the higher price? What other ones have I missed?
Copilot for me
If you can, try out the new version of Sygic.
It's called Sygic Aura.
It's just awesome, very good navigation software, well developed, simple to use and extraordinary graphics.
Try it, you will love it!
i tried Sygic last week on my galaxy s and worked great
I got the copilot US special for USD 4.99 and tested it 2 weeks ago on a trip to NY. in the taxi from JFK to Manhattan it worked just great!
also - you can move both the maps and the app to the external SD thus saving space for apps on internal memory (this requires a simple trick but there is a recent thread for that here describing it - search for it).
also tried NDrive and Aura - Aura's UI is strange, don't like it and NDrive is simple but OK but can not move app or maps to external - this is a no go for me. also got the free navigon Australia special but could not test it (only maps for Australia and NZ - and you can not explore the maps if you don't have a GPS signal in that area - bad)
good luck
I use navigon, copilot and igo (yes, it works on high res devices ) all work great
I've tried allmost all of them. But allways end up using Navigon 3.5. The look is clean and simple. Cant say anything bad about it.
Sygic is a great android tool with the look and feel of TOMTOM (the benchmark in navigation).
XDA App
CoPilot for me . I had it on my WinMo device and when I switch to Galaxy I thought they wouldn't have Android version , but there it is.
Very happy with it.
I hear Sygic Aura isn't for AUSTRALIA. What is the best for AUSTRALIAN territories?

How did you get thee 4.99 special?
used market enabler app to put myself in the US and tehre it was in the market - a special deal they had for some weeks. not sure if they still have it. with Docs latest rom I can not search the market at the moment - will let you know ASAP.
still on market for 3.99 euros
Thanks Chris. I shall try them when the gps of the SGS works better with the 2.2 update.
Copilot is good but with IgoMyWay, we have a 3D view with relief... Very good!

The latest Google maps works perfectly in Australia right to your door with step by step direction list and turn by turn *voice* navigation and then you can use all the Google services to locate petrol station, restaurants etc - I was using copilot but i think it was a bit bloated and sometimes buggy on my samsung galaxy s. I honestly can't believe how good google maps does the job

Does this version allow you to also use maps from outside the US?
Standalone?
Hello,
Are these apps really standalone, I mean no data plan needed? I saw some are asking a monthly fee also.
Thank you,
Liviu

Copilot is really good !
It is a offline navigation!
Theres also this thing I use called naviONE
Sygic is pretty good. It has some accurate maps.
Cheers,
I think Motonav is the best one.
no, motonav is complicated and stupid, CoPilot is the best offline navigation
hi, i checked the copilot site -- copilotlive com they does not cover india maps. ?
which good offline maps to be used. ?
Sygic has a map of India
