G-Park GPS location of my car?

Good Morning to all.
I was browsing information on the iPhone App store, always interested to see what is developed over there and then find a similar app for my HD
Anyway, came across G-Park, a nice little app that you park your car, press the Park Me button and then when it comes time to return to your car, press where did I park and it links to GoogleMaps and directs you back.
Thought I would ask here to see if anyone has heard of a similar app available for us WinMo lovers?
Thanks
Jody

Haven't heard of a similar app, but you could just use Google maps and save your location (i.e. where you parked) and then when its time to return to car get directions from your current location to your saved car location

That kind of the application is good when you don’t have Navigation program in your mobile then you have to force yourself to use Google map,
If you have a Navigation program in your mobile you can store your coordinate and then come back anytime you want better than Google map

Obviously this would be best choice, but I was just putting forward an option for those who do not have a G-Park type application or navigational software

GPSSpot is what u looking for...
i think the answer to your needs is GPSSpot. you can save current location, (of your car but not only) and later use the saved coordinates app will get you back there. there is no map but compass style navigation, but still you will easily find the way to parked car. and u can have many different locations saved (home, tube station, etc...) and they are easily accessible from dropdown list.
regards

I think this one can be useful for you too:

Do a quick search for "dude wheres my car". The program has been in the developers section for a very long time.

Thanks for all the input, think I am off to start downloading..... best way to find out what is right of course is to install and try

[Q] Looking for a GPS App

I am looking for a GPS app that is comparable to a actual GPS, I have tried searching and GPS is a pretty common phrase in a lot of threads. lol.
Thanks for your help in advanced guys, I appreciate the help and experience that the forum brings to the table.
P.s. I am not against having to buy the app. I am just not going to drop a ton of money on an app when I could just buy a GPS for pretty cheap.

What about google nav? or even the sprint nav? lol.
I think we need to know more about what you are looking for in this app.

There's a few like navigon or aura but they are expensive, google nav always gets the job done for me.

* Navigon
* iGo
* Copilot
There may be some others, but i'm not aware of them. Of the above 3, I found copilot to be most robust with an intuitive UI.
Navigon and iGo seemed outdated.
Of course, if garmin ever gets off their ass and makes an android navigation app, that will probably be the best. Their windows mobile version was awesome.

I use MapQuest and it has maps navagation and voice turn by turn direction all in one app

What's wrong with the native google navigation app? I don't understand.
EDIT - just took a look at the mapquest app. Pretty cool.
Does anyone know of a Navi app that includes waypoints? Say I'm driving to my buddy's house out of town and want to find a chevron on my way there.

The problem is it requires a data connection. Although the OP didn't say it outright, I think it was implied he's looking for something that does not. All 3 of the ones I mentioned store the map data and points of interest (POI's) on the sd card.
And yes, copilot supports multiple way points. I imagine the other two do as well, but didn't play with them at length as I thought the UI was bland, and pretty much stopped there.

I believe google maps will do this as well. You'd just need to fiddle with the layers. But actually chaining multiple points together, A->B->C->D, isn't possible yet on Google Nav; It's just A->D right now. :<

S2 as navigation in my car

I've actually have two questions. I want to use my S2 as navigation in my car. I've heard about free apps for offline navigation. Anyone know a name of one? Internet abroad costs tons of money but i'd like to be able to use my phone as navigation when i'm going on holiday as well.
Secondly, i want to buy a carholder, but i was wondering if it is bad for the phone to put it up to the window in the full sun for a couple hours :S. Or should i find a different spot out of the sun? And how close to a window does the phone need to be so it is able to receive the gps signal.
Thanks in advance

Try Brodit in car holder, mounted on Brodit ProClip. Check to see if ProClip for your car is suited for your use.

Thank you very much, my car actually has a thing like proclip installed and i can probably install it there. I'm just gonna test first if it has good signal on that spot.

Hello, I have phone for navigation attaching with sucction mount before tachometer. I do not need look on tachometer (i have ears) and there is phone perfectly preserved, perfectly visible (no sun reflextions) and in field of view. GPS signal is very goog in my peugeot in this position. Just an idea...

Aura Navigation
Hi,
With Aura Navigation you can use navigation online or offline.‎

Hmm nice creative solution, i'll take a look into that as well tnx.
And tnx for the navigation app tip

I use Sygic Navigation, works perfectly, only tat need to pay for monthly.
as long as maps are up to date, that i do not get lost, willing to pay for the monthly.
other than reading people comment how crappy freeware navigation with no up to date maps.

+1 for Sygic. Best interface and map so far... I'm waiting for Tom Tom to get off their butts and finally release something for Android already. I normally use Tom Tom but would rather use it from my device instead of having 2 devices mounted on my dash.

Check out Google Maps Navigation!
Take a look at the new version of Google Maps Navigation.
It works really well. AND according to Google Maps you can
"pre cache" maps for the route you will be taking. (It's a "Beta" feature)
I haven't tried pre caching myself (I have a good dataplan! ) but it should work!? If anyone has tried this feature, please let the rest of us know!
I have tried to install Navigon (yes a cracked version, I'm a bad person) and it just will not work! (suit you right, you bad person!! ).
So I stick to Google Maps for now and it works fine for me!
If I have helped you, please push the thanks button!

Sygic is great but not usable in Balkans and some parts of eastern Europe (problem with Teleatlas map coverage). Use android navigation in those parts of Europe the only way is use cracked Igo My way because it is not possible purchase it legally, just alltogether with some devices. However it works great.

I've got a good data plan as well, but the main reason i need something else then google maps is for trips abroad. And the precache is super, but i want to be prepared for situations in which i get lost and of my route. I think google maps than has a problem.

copilot works fine for croatia and serbia, sucks for montenegro however. haven't been to other balkan states lately, so don't know about the rest of them.

The developers of apps like co pilot should be ashamed of themselves charging the amount of money they do for that app, more often than not ill pay for an app but you have you seen the price of this https://market.android.com/details?...rket.premiumeupan&feature=more_from_developer

what happened to tomtom?

Co-Pilot. Have tried a number over the years. Co-Pilot is not the cheapest available today, but definitely worth the outlay. Fast for routing, re-routing, good clear maps, good screen set up,good clear voice direction and quite modifiable to personal tastes.

I am trying Co-Pilot, but having problems!
It works fine, finds plenty of satellites (even indoors) but when I run it in the car, the screen saver switches it off
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks

try ZANavi from the android market. the application is free, and works pretty good

IGO is pretty good too. Can you tell me guys about any other gps app with a detailed map of Romania except google maps?
Happy Easter to everybody!

I'm using Co-Pilot Live Premium.
First version had a lot of bugs and it was difficult getting in touch with the company.
But it's slowly getting better and better
BTW
From where did you get Samsung Navigator.
On Garmin's homepage they claim that the product is discontinued...
And what about updating maps?

What did you pay for on screen directions?
Samsung Navigator is an award-winning navigation app with maps and search function. Wisepilot is very flexible and you choose how you want to use it.
- You can just use the free functions, for example. search, map, directions and sharing.
- Or you can extend the experience with additional features that can be purchased via the app, eg. navigation message every time you turn, and information about speed cameras. Prices depend on the time period.

In CoPilot's Settings dialog, under Power Saving, select "Always on" for the backlight option.

google is pretty good !! only thing missing imo is redlight and speedcamera warning

navigation app

i have tried the navigation on the htc one x
its good but there is a 30 day trail on it so i think that after that you havew to pay for it
and im not impressed by google maps
on my htc desire i had installed sygic
but that wont work on my one
anyone some suggestions?

I use Sygic, works fine. One of the best in my opinion. Just buy it in the market so you have the latest version.

that doesnt work on my htc one x tried that but im trying again maybe after custom rom it will work thx anyway

I use Co-Pilot and I love it. Problem is the normal price is a bit steep. I got mine in a half price sale else I'd have never gone for it. Glad I did though.

I also use Co-Pilot Live Premium. I got mine at a special upgrade price when I moved from Co-Pilot Live 8. For me it's great. I got a free map upgrade at Christmas too and they have just offered 12 months free Activetraffic that's meant to automatically re-route you if there's traffic on your current planned route.

Assuming you've purchased Aura, just log into the sygic support site and request your activation code be reset. This normally happens within 48h, you can then re-enter the code and activate on your new handset.
Cost of co-pilot and sygic is similar at the minute £33 for copilot and £40 for sygic, both are good but I prefer copilot - used the old version while travelling around Europe and had zero problems with it or its routing. Sygics routing seems to be idiosyncratic at times but their customer support is exemplary.

For me the best gps program is Ndrive 11

thanks

I haven't really found an app that has given me complete satisfaction. I like Google Navigation but sometimes I cannot get is running when network is weak or temporarily unavailable.
Aura Sygic: The best UI. I like the options. But the routing is what I did not like. More than half the time, it gave me some awkward routes when there were more convenient routes were still available. That was a real deal breaker for me. And thankfully, Sygic offers a trial period unlike Co-Pilot and Ndrive which you get stuck with after Google's 15 minute refund windows closes.
Co-Pilot: I like the fact that it displays which side of the road my destination is when I reach there (not always accurate though, but useful for my part time job as a pizza delivery driver). However, it sometimes tells me to enter a one way street from the wrong direction. I don't like Pico TTS Engine that it uses for text to speech voice direction so I used the normal voice guidance which was less mechanical than Pico although it did not speak street names. I wish it supported SVOX.
Ndrive 11: Bought it just a couple of days ago. I don't like the UI (maps) as much as Aura or even Co-Pilot. The 3D view looks more or less like 2D. But it's routing appears to be the better than the other apps I mentioned above. I wish it clearly indicated which side of the street the destination was upon arrival. It does indicate on the map itself with an icon but it is not so easy to make out. And there no TTS voice available for turn by turn voice guidance. I wish these third party apps spoke out street names like Google Navigation.
So, I'd be happy if there was an app that had maps like Aura, features like Co-Pilot, accurate routing like Ndrive and superior TTS voice guidance like Google Navigation.

I use waze. It's good

Sygic works perfect on my One X, use correct xml-file and 2010 k* for not going to demo mode.

I would say Navigon is good.

doesn't matter, newer version works like a charm.

I've been using Navfree from the PlayMarket, and it works very well for a free navigationapp.

I'm looking for a navigation app as well for my HOX. Google Navigation isn't even enabled in my region (Malaysia), and I've used Garmin on my previous phone before and am very used to Garmin. What's the closest to Garmin that is available on Android and has Malaysian maps?
One thing that I really REALLY don't like about the Navigation app is that it doesn't tell you whether to keep on the left or right lane when there is a small split in the road unlike Garmin.

XDA does not condone the use of warez, so please don't ask for it.
Thread cleaned.

+1 Navfree
