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.

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!

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 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?

What GPS oes evryone use? The google navigtions seems ok but I know there's gotta be something better... I tried the Aura but didn't like that I had to download differnt map paks for each state. Plus it didn't seem like there was a way to set it as default gps app... for instance if I googled an address and long clicked on it I never got an option to use Aura. I did like the diferent voices though. ( hate google voice) What GPS do you guys like?
* I'm just sayin......
I don't think there is anything out there better than Google Navigation. Not even the standalone GPS units LOL.

I have to agree. The looks and function of Google Navigation are excellent. Far and away, better than my standalone Garmin Nuvi. If not for the fact that a data connection is required for Google Nav, I would probably not be using the Garmin at all anymore.
If you want an app that has maps loaded on the SD card, CoPilot is said to be pretty good by some folks on these forums. And reasonably priced, as well (at $5). But I have not personally tried it.
Ye the google navigtion is great and I know its kinda petty but I just hate the voice.. (I know I could turn the volume down but I thiink they should include a way to change it)

Just get a new voice. I have the UK Victoria voice and it's a LOT better.
I believe the GPS will work now with or without data. It was a new feature with the latest release along with the traffic rerouting.
Also, you may want to check Navigon. I use them as my standalone gps and they only focus on mobile gps now. I have heard good things about their mobile apps but as for their standalone gps, I swore by it until google came on board with their latest one.
Copilot is pretty good. Been using it for a couple mths already nice ui extremely smooth, what's best is that everything is on the sd so u can use it without using data to co.stantly render maps

have you try wise pilot, IMHO this is the best. But you have to buy it. for the first 5 days its free.

i don't think so
For offline nav, i've tried igo and sygic. Igo was ok, a bit slow and buggy. Sygic has been great so far: maps by tomtom with free updates, nav still works with screen locked for those of us on motorbikes, free trial available in the market, and it's not restricted to the US. That last one was the big one for me.

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.

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 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~?
Hello,
Does someone managed to make the iGO Navigation fit the screen of the GN?
If yes, can help me through? I just cant get to make it work properly.
Oh, and by the way, what GPS navigation do you use? GMaps is inferior compared with a dedicated GPS app like Sygic or other. Do you ppl agree?
Thanks!
I use sygic as its the best for android, used to use tom tom on my iPhone.

Only thing bad about Google Maps is that if you go off the preset route, you're stuck if you loose service.
You guys know about Google new off line map, that is coming.
http://androidcommunity.com/google-maps-offline-coming-soon-to-android-20120606/
I dont like GMaps because it give me the shortest route, wich sometimes are roads out of use and it isnt possible to select fastest route like in Sygic.
I used to have the same issue with Sygic, while I was in Bulgary and I found myself on a mountain farm, because the old route has to travel a mountain, road that was out of use for years ) so I set Sygic on the fastest route and there we go.
GMaps is fine, but It doesnt alarm you when you overcome the speed limit, it does have only english language and if you enter an area without signal, well that's the death of your assistant.
That's why I preffer a dedicated GPS application.
Did someone of you guys used iGO on GN?
If Google allows for offline turn by turn navigation and routing with their offline maps then I'll be happy, but being able to download maps and not be able to calculate a route without a data connection is just pointless.

Where did you hear this from? I had TomTom on my iPhone and it was the best Nav I've ever used!
However, currently without TomTom available for the GNex, I use the Navigation app that comes standard with the Nexus.

I just reroute often using Google nav since it easily shows the length and times of various routes. Traffic included which makes a huge difference.
I use both Sygic and Google Nav. I like Sygic because of its possibility to work offline and download any map I want.
When I was in Mexico, I used Sygic since I didnt have an active data connection and could easily download maps. I recently came across Route66 which is also a great free app and uses TomTom maps. The FollowUp feature is a bit of a gimmick but always impresses my fellow passengers when I mount it on the dash.Give it a shot if it is available in your country.

Google navigation caches so it continues to work, without a data connection, unless you leave the recommended route.
Hi,
A few weeks ago Google gives us new update to Google Maps with fully new design. From 7.0.2 (latest) update there appear a problem on my DHD (with JellyTime R11). While using this app screen is shacking up and down, what is a little bit annoing. I thouhgt there should't be a problem while using navi from google maps, but i was wrong. There is the same problem. I am going to go to another city, and navi will be needed. Is there any solution for this? Guys using this rom/device has got same problem as me? Is this problem on another rom/device?

I have the same problem on my Desire HD, using cyanogenmod 10.1 There are several reports about this on the internet for different devices / ROMs.
I guess the best option for now is to revert to maps 6.xx

I've read that deleting and reinstalling should fix it.
I have not tried yet as i can't be bothered with it. :cyclops:
I had the issue on maps 7.0.2 which was upgraded from maps 7.0.1
After I read your post I removed the app and installed maps 7.0.2 from play store. It seems to work well now (I only tested for 2 minutes).

NEW GOOGLE MAPS IS PURE CRAP. Here. Use this.
Google Maps 6.14.4 (APK) (Source: zippyshare.com)
Use whatever app you have to use to rid your device of that PURE GARBAGE that Google is trying to pass off as a new version of their "Google Maps" application. (I recommend a reboot before doing any further after removal.)
Download v6.14.4 and install it. (Remember to re-check your security settings to allow the install of third-party apps.)
For me: PROBLEM SOLVED.
Google really F'ed up with this new version.
I got the new v7.1 update from the store and it worked good so far. Tested on a 10 km navigation and a bit of looking around on the map.
Edit: Swapping between apps makes the map screen flicker when you are back in maps.
Offline problem
In my Inspire, first version 7 was unusable because of flicker. With latest update, flickering is only present when using cached maps with no internet connection, so can't use navigation... :crying:
The flicker only appears if you switch between Google Maps and any other app or if you scroll down the notification bar.
When you use only Maps there is no flickering
Greetings Alex
This is problem in Maps app itself not in DHD, since owners of phones from other manufacturers also report this issue. With latest Maps update, I think the issue is gone, but to be honest not tested fully.
7.2.0 is much better but the problem still persists after changing from portrait to landscape

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368972
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359744
I too have reverted to version 6 and try the new versions from time to time but it still hasn't been fixed. It has improved in the latest versions though, I used to be able to trigger it by pulling down the notification bar but this no longer seems to trigger it. Switching to another app still does though. I also get a blank square instead of a menu when I try to get traffic info of my route... very annoying.
Google keeps releasing new versions with 'bug fixes' in the 'What's new' field but they never really specify what 's been fixed. Has anyone tried the version from nov 2 yet?
I did not try the last maps 7, but had the same issue with Glob (based on maps api I think) AND JellyTime 4.2.2
Now I changed to CM11 4.4 nightly and it's ok with Glob, so maybe it's the same with Maps.
