It'll just be another paid subscription navigation app. Can't beat the free ones like Waze and Navigation

Is there a way for automatic caching? I tried to save tiles manually, but the maximum size per tile of (was it 70 mb?) makes that task a tedious one as first I need hundreds of tiles for Germany alone and secondly I have to wait for the tile to fully download before I select the next. I gave up after 5 tiles and had merely the bigger Frankfurt area covered.

There are quite a few good ones I have no idea which ones are the best but I think OziExplorer isn't too bad. But getting into the custom maps thing I found quite daunting.

Speed cameras in navigation

Anyone know It's possible to get speed camera alerts while using the navigation app?
I have this strange tenancy to drive slightly above the speed limit and from using it in the past, I'm sure it.doesn't warn you about speed cameras. I know I should just keep alert, but there are times when you lose concentration.

a) Not available in the navigation app, try a different gps application.
b) If you're prone to losing concentration, please don't speed.

Try Radardroid. I believe its a gps app and alerts you if any speed camera is on your route.

I use a combination of two applications.
GPS Software - Copilot 8 Live (Works very well, very nice software)
Speed Cameras - Trapster - Again works well and is free from the market.
Trapster runs in the background, too.

Didn't mean it like that. I meant concentration as in looking for speed cameras.
Also when I say speed, it'd only be a few mph, nothing excessive. I like to go at least 5mph under the speed limit when going through a camera (i don't trust them)

Copilot may not be free, but it is very cheap for what it is and a far superior navigation solution than Google Navigation (which is still pretty good for free!).

Agreed - the software is worth every penny.
I hate Google Nav - don't like it one bit.
Copilot Live V8 is fantastic. I have downloaded every map that they have currently available and my Copilot folder is slightly larger than 4Gb in size. It has hung on loading just once and I had to reboot the phone then it was ok. Had installed vlingo just before that and wondered if too many apps were running.
It is more accurate than my Garmin 765t but of course lacks a lot of the refinements of a dedicated satnav device. It is certainly accurate to within <10m and I would say around 3 m.
It does not have speed and red light cameras which my garmin has.
I find some of the countries maps have no POI available and only limited categories in others. Not sure how many Favorites you can store for each country.
I have tested it against the Garmin and routing is nearly always the same.
I recommend this app to anyone and it is worth the money if you pay for it.

Mine does (UK).
Ha ha ha, why would you download every map there is for it?
Just use the map for your country and you will see it even starts up quicker after that. My Copilot folder size is <- 200mb or so.

Maybe move the social links to option menu and decrease purchase link and place it on top.shouldn't be to difficult to do and will add a more "clean" look to the app..

Do you still have premium content reminder and baskets? Actually, it works thru Google Play market application. I just ask Google Play for all user payments. Usually if you get connected to internet at least once a day it works fine.

What i would like to see in a future version if you please :
setting for the delay between weather update.
shortcuts on the desktop to switch between mode.
maybe some more default wallpapers (if this don't impact too much size of the apk)

I use google maps and Sygic when going to another country.
Copilot is also OK
Interesting feedback. I tried out Google Maps and, unless I am using it wrong, found it heavily dependant on having a good data signal in order to calculate a route. I want something that I can download and use offline as data signal is patchy where I am.
I used Co-Pilot a few years ago and it was ok but had a few instances where it simply failed to find a location.
Surprised Tomtom has not got it together for Android.

Well yes Google needs data to work. Is not a offline navigation tool. In that case just buy a navigation system or upgrade Ur data plan. U r better off buying a offline navigation then using one on Ur phone. Because downloading the maps can cost a lot of memory and most of the time real navigation system that is offline are better then offline smartphone once. As for online once Google maps is great and free.

Google Maps and Sygic
I use Sygic as drive on the continent a lot.
Got it on offer a couple of years ago (about £25 for UK & Europe) so it was a bit of a bargain and used it many many times.
I also use google navigation while at home sometimes as it's just easier to google search then plot a route to somewhere.

You can load up the map and the route, and save it offline. It will then work without any data connection (and supposedly can make adjustments within reason without connection, but I have never tried this and heard it is only being tested).

What can you do after your rooted pixel 2xl on 8.1

I want to root my pixel 2xl but I did not find any good reasons for it. I want Xposed so bad but it doesn't support 8.0 yet, other then that I don't know what good apps for it. I have nexus 4 a few years ago but I move to iPhone for 2 years and just back to Pixel 2xl. It is a very good phone, much better and friendly.
Here's a good earlier discussion thread. Twrp is now official and Magisk Root is available if you have reasons for flashing...

Well do yourself a favor and unlock the bootloader now which will wipe your data from the phone. This is now a two step process you can read about in the "unlock and root" guides. This will save you from having to wipe your phone later when you find a good reason to root. I run very few root apps, but ad blocking is top of the list. I also use Titanium Backup regularly. Root has been very stable lately, and there are several modules available from within Magisk that maybe you should read up on. Welcome back to the Community. :good:
My sole reason for rooting is to add the below command to the bottom of my build.prop in order to disable the nav bar system wide and use Pie Control (Play Store Link) for my navigation needs.
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
How about just because? LOL. The majority of users that root, are the people who like to tinker and are tech-savvy. I use for ad blocker, Greenify, titanium backup (because it's the best), occasionally modifying system settings, etc...I look at it as almost having administrative rights on MY system. Who would use a Windows PC as a standard user?
Is it true that using Magisk allows for Android Pay to continue to work?

Yeah, I had that issue and didn't like it. Enabling full immersive mode within Settings is another option to disable the nav bar but it breaks squeeze for assistant functionality. Editing the build.prop essentially just tells the system that the phone has built in hardware nav keys.
Then you can use an app like the one I mentioned in my above post to have pop out navigation functionality.
I've attached a few screenshots of my setup. Essentially, the nav bar doesn't exist on the home screen or in any apps until I swipe up from the bottom of the screen or wipe left from the right edge of the screen to pop the nav keys out. This setup has worked flawlessly for me since I got the phone nearly 2 months ago. I love it.
Awesome thanks. Yeah that's how I made mine. Simple just the 3 buttons. I didn't even realize that active edge still worked! But wow am I loving the full screen. These pie controls are amazing.

[APP] All in One Gestures

Really a great gestures app to mimic iOS gestures. I use the navigation gestures option because I could not deal with the navigation bar not matching my keyboard. The gestures work pretty well and I got used to them, but I did not like the Back option. Too many times trying to go back ended up with me opening recents or going home.
I really wanted a gesture to swipe the screen from left to right to go back and this app allows me to. Works great with a few customization options. It was removed from the playstore but the apk can still be sideloaded
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/ys-liang/all-in-one-gestures-2/all-in-one-gestures-2-5-9-release/
Thanks for sharing. IMHO The OnePlus gestures are the best I've tried on any phone. The more options there are, the better off we are.
Thanks for sharing, I love the Swype from the left to go back feature
Hey Guys, if you wan't, you can also try an app called 'Fooview', which is available in playstore (No need Root access) and its amazing, you can set the swipe option from right to left for back in this app as well. it also comes with a browser, file manager, and allow to take screen short of any specified portion on your screen. It will also help to convert the 'letters' in an image to edit/copy. The main advantage is it work with very less battery drain and comes with small in size. this is one of the best app I have ever used. and I'm using this for the last 2 Years. Just try it, it is amazing.

There are many apps which get through the checks. Check the news, you'll find many articles about google removing app from the play store every now and then.
Even a seemingly trustworthy app can do a lot of harm. Even if the app is a bit sketchy its better to stay away from it.

I find the navbar gestures severely lacking. Swipe from left or right edge up for back? On which planet? Ever tried this swipe on Chrome with a longish text loaded? All you get is a scroll back and not back. Or maybe I am misunderstanding the directions. How difficult is it to add a graphic to illustrate?
