Hello can anyone help me find free navigation for my HD, i was trying to find on xda but i didint make it thx very much
google maps
thats free...please note not to ask for warez here
thank you
Yeah use google maps, has a position locator and directs you to where ever you need to go, can use post code and everything.. updated every day.
Perfect
Try warez , ofcourse not from this site
Hmm
Try Google Navigator. As I understand it you get basically Google Maps but with turn by turn instructions.
I think you know what I am going to suggest next....do a search on Google for it...lol

MS Live Search (Free) has similar functionality to Google Maps and has better coverage for some countries
Ok so I got my phone for a few weeks now and I really enjoy it but I found something a little weird.
First thing I noticed is that i had Maps v4.0.0 installed and I thought all Desire's come with the latest 4.1.1.
I said no problem, I'll just go to the market and get it from there, but I realized that searching for Google Maps didn't find it, I found Sky Map, Map Editor and other stuff from Google and other but no Maps, nowhere.
Why is that? Is the android market localized by where you are? And if so, isn't Maps supposed to be available everywhere?
Because of the older version I don't even have the Maps Live Wallpaper that I saw in so many reviews.
Then I went online and download it manually and installed it (and I even got the Live Wallpaper), but because of this it doesn't show in my "Downloads" tab in Market and there's no way for it to notify me if there is an update.
Even on Goole Maps for mobile homepage it says "Tap Maps on the home screen. Search for "Google Maps" in Android Market to update."
1. Why don't I have it in Market?
2. How can I get it to notify for an update?
Looks like a localisation issue, when I updated Google maps I just did it from the downloads tab in Market.
If it is a localization issue, is there a way to change it?
I'm looking for a google offline maps application. I see many applications but it's hard to try them one by one.
I tried mapdroyd i had problem downloading maps etc.
If you have an advise let me know please thanks

CoPilot is my favourite and can be downloaded for the market and comes with a trial period.
You could also try Navigon which can also be obtained from the market.
You said that you're looking for google maps that works offline. But if u are looking for something similar to Google maps (but with offline maps) there are some good paid navigation apps like Garmin, with their own offline maps....
If that's what you are asking for, check Navigon, CoPilot or iGO My Way...
Thanks i'm looking for free alternative if i can find. Because i will use it rarely

Fancy the changes.
Well fancy the chances of that. I log into XDA to ask for the best offline maps application as I need to get around Spain and Switzerland without data for the
next two months starting in 2 days.
The first thread, at the top of general is just that!
i hope we can find good free one

On a recent Italian trip I used navigon (paid) and mapnik which was free. You can select map tiles on the PC then download them to the mapnik folder to view offline. It doesn't do navigation. Andnav2 uses the same files and might do navigation.
Navigon did a great job, have tried copilot on android and Garmin and tomtom navigators. Copilot has more features but navigon is fast and better interface.

İt seems just paid ones working?

Which paid navigation software has maps for Malaysia?? Anybody knows??
Try Motonav. I think you will be pleased.
What about Maverick and mobile Atlas map creator. Maverick is free unless you want more waypoints. You select the maps you want in Atlas map creator and select download. You let it run for a wee while and then copy them to the maverick directory on your sd card. You can select google maps, google earth, bing maps, ovi maps, google terrain and a few more. The only drawback is the fat 32 file size limitation. The google maps to level 16 of Northern Ireland is only 1.5gb on my PC, but on my memory card they are 8gb. There is no navigation either its just for viewing maps. You can find a full walk through of Mobile Atlas map creator on the forums if you do a search.
TrekBuddy is another nice program. Use an AtlasCreator to download Google or other maps. It's available on Android Market or directly on http://www.trekbuddy.net for free. It's also great for logging your tracks.
Updated my google maps to 5.0 last night along with a new version of street view but there doesn't appear to be any way to access the new 3d view or caching for a journey.
Is the device not supported? requirements on the goggle map market section only state 2.0 devices and above as the requirement.
I updated google maps yesterday. And it works.
I went to NY city

I just tried it, the new 3D feature works great! Search for a big city and zoom-in deeply, you should be able to see 3d blocks.
I'm still trying to cache and use maps offline instead. Any ideas?
Nothing. Tried un-installing it and the stuff connected to google maps but still nothing. Says i have the latest version but none of the new features appear
Only a few cities are available in 3D for now. For NY city it works fine.
After a 3rd install all working fine, nyc in all its vector glory. Now if they update London for me it would be most useful.
Also how does the caching work, is it just generally for maps or can you cache a specific journey?
Hi!
I have the new vector graphics but no way to activate Street View ...
On HTC Desire Street View can be avtivated with the Trackball, but on Defy i cant access this Menu

Search for a place or select a point on the map which is covered by street view, then push the proper icon, you should be able to get into the street view mode.
Thanks tiggggr !
Now Street View is working!

Hi guys,
let me start of with saying i don't know where this thread belongs, since it's not sgn2 related, but more of a general android question.
Okay, my ' problem' : I'm going to be in south africa for a few weeks in december, i want to use my gps to know where i'm going, but i don't want all the roaming costs from loading the map itself. Is there any way to store a big part of the map or location offline on our device? Or is there an app that doesn't need roaming and already has the map itself?
Thanks in advance,
Kain
A few apps should have this feature but I don't have any name in mind...
However I know that Google Maps allow you to use maps offline: Google support
Google Maps allows it in a limited way
Google maps actually allow us to locally store an small area as offline, but its not gonna be sufficient to u, try to use some offline maps like Sygic or so,
Maybe u can try Mapswithme?

I actually used Google Maps to track myself with GPS during my trip to South Africa. You need internet to do a search for a place or get directions (hotel/coffeeshop WiFi will do), but if you think you know where the place is on the map (the maps still include the labels) you can zoom in to view the label (in otherwords, you have to do a manual search for things without an internet connection)
.
Offline maps are great for hikes (or safaris, in South Africa ) to help you know how far you are from a road or landmark. Use the 'distance ruler' function. From my experience, a surprising number of trails, world-wide, are well mapped-out.
I still do offline maps, today, because I didn't upgrade to the new Google Maps (the reviews were terrible), but you may have to search to find and download the old Google Maps.
Maps with me pro
I use it and recomend

Sygic with worldwide maps on the device is an option too.
I most be missing something but there are all kinds of offline map programs. Sygic, Copilot (there is a free version), Navigon, Maverick is more offroad but can be used to find your way around. Locus is another it also has a free version.There are dozens more. Look on Play store.
I use navfree. Careful with Google maps. I believe it deletes map data after two weeks. Thought I read that somewhere.

+1 for Navfree. Don't forget that you need to download your maps via the app before you leave.
No harm in having a few free nav apps at your disposal. They'll all have their own strengths so perhaps you might find yourself using more than one. So maybe download a handful of the free ones.
