Have you found any full screen working navigation app?
For example IGO works fine but only in half of the screen
Google maps?

In greece works only when connected to the internet (we dont have gps free support...so you have to pay for a data plan in order to connect at the internet and use gmaps). So we mostly use cracked navigators like IGO,Sygic,Co-Pilot,Navigon etc...
Is there anyway to use Navigation/GPS with the offline google maps?
Since google has released maps to be downloaded for offline use, its been really useful. But I find that I couldn't use the navigation function, I could only look at the map. Is there anyway I can use just GPS to do the navigation with the downloaded maps and not need to use 3G or wifi?

No you can't use Navigation/Directions/routing functions of any sort while offline. Google Maps relies on it's servers to provide it with routing data. Use HTC Locations or Navfree if you want offline navigation. Can't comment on whether this will be possible sometime in the future with Google Maps. Maybe they'll do something like they did with the offline voice recognition engine in Jelly Bean.

I have two incredibles Verizon branded. What can I do with them? I use att now. So reactivating them isn't really on the to do list. I've looked into rooting and flashing and seems a bit more complex than with my Samsung captivate. If there is something really neat I could use it for it might be worth the trouble. Ideas? Anyone wanna help a fella out?

MOD EDIT: This isn't the marketplace, if you want to sell them then post in the marketplace and not in any of these forums. Thanks
You could use them as an mp3 player, use wifi only and play games and surf the net, or download a gps app that stores the maps locally since you don't have service on them.

I know the GPS is much better than on the cappy I use now so there is a wonderful idea. I wonder if I could use it for data logging on my motorcycle. Like as a accurate speedometer (with delay for changes in speed) a way to log top speed and as a HD video recorder. Do you have any suggestion as to which GPS nav software to use?

I would do this, and use it as a dev phone for testing (or learning how to compile, if you don't know how) ROMs.

The only navigation app I know off the top of my head that store maps locally is navigon. I have never used it and I see mixed reviews for it.

As I have 0 programming knowledge for computers at this time and with God's good grace starting school for it in the winter quarter it does interest me however I fear by the time I am proficient enough the development of this phone and thereby this thread will be long dead. I do want to root the phone and perhaps install a ROM that removes everything but the core of what it needs to operate and a very few apps. As I have two I could use one for GPS/MP3 duty for the motorcycle. So all I'd need is the basic operating system wifi a MP3 downloaded and a good local GPS software. I would think that the GPS software alone would take quite a bit of space.

CoPilot GPS stores its maps on your sdcard (North America maps take up about 1.3 Gb) and does a mostly acceptible job of navigating without using mobile data. The free version is a bit crippled, but what do you expect for free? Street address searches and POI searches also work well even without mobile data, ideal for a non-activated phone.
Another app I use sometimes is Navfree USA. It uses Open Street Maps, so they can be hit or miss. Also, searching by street addresses is mostly broken (Open Street Maps doesn't seem to handle postal codes well). Maps are downloaded state-by-state.
So what can be removed without destroying the os? I need only GPS functions bluetooth WiFi and audio.
Perhaps gmail and the play store. Unless I can use the play store without gmail. Is there a ROM I can flash that is already slimmed way down.

I probably wouldn't remove to much. This is what I am going to do to this phone when my contract runs out with Verizon and I switch to sprint. I'm going to run cm7, which has already been suggested and use the wifi only script which can be found here:

Yes but if I'm going to use this as a GPS with navigation and a MP3 player and dash cam on a motorcycle ill need all the free space I can get.

Moved to Q&A and edited OP. Please post in the correct section when asking questions and also do not post with the intention of trying to sell, we have the marketplace for that.
Thanks

Sorry about that.

Removing any system apps or parts of the os won't get you anymore space for storage since those are in the system partition.

Will it get me more speed? Like running through 6 inches of water as opposed to 4 feet.

I don't know how much you may hit the track on your motorcycle, but here are a few suggestions that you can find on the play store.

and a review of those

Looks like an app I may pay for. Even if im not on a track it will still help as there are a few places on my commute I tend to open up and ride hard. Makes my ride home quicker. Seems it could also be used to log top speed and 1/4 mile times. So a lot of useful features.

what's the point of having GPS in the tablet, Wifi Version, when it only works with wifi? Yea, I can download offline maps but still.

I think it is still very useful features. Even the gps sensor is much better in my note 2014 (wifi) compare to my note 3.
Just use good apps like sygic, or download the offline map in google maps.
