I wonder if there is a way to put offline GPS on my note(P600). Gmap not an option. It simply sucks.
Give sygic a try, really nice app
Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
There really are 2 for North America: Sygic and Co-Pilot. I have both and their issues are minor. My main GPS unit is a 7" Roadmate. Both run on the Note 3/8/10.1 12/13 equally well.

Hello, I need the name of a turn by turn navigation app that can be run offline, US maps is enough. Thanks

Try CoPilot
I use it when I go to the states
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Navigon is scored better than CoPilot and works great too offline
You have some choice =)
Navigon - Copilot - IGO 8.3/8.4 - and soon Garmin
I personnaly use IGO and i'm happy with it, using navteq Maps (radar - 3d building - POI)
This theme was some on this fforum...But, this is my favorite offline GPS navigation:

Navdroyd is fine for me

My fav is Navigon. Still the best

NDrive is great as well.
I tried to test Navigon but found no maps for South America so I cannot judge

Has anybody got a Sat Nav App with offline maps that def works. Have seen Co Pilot ICS ready but have seen posts where it is crashing for some.
Some others have offline maps but need to connect to get postcode searches ect (FreeNav) which I do not want.
Anybody out there using a workable Sat Nav for the SGN
Copilot works fine, sometimes it closes itself straight after opening but opening it again is fine, never had it crash while using it.

Hi, I'm using Navigon 4.01! This is working offline!
So far working properly on GNEX. Only problem is, when you force 2D Hardware acclaration, then it is not working anymore.
Copilot updated today works perfectly

Try the latest version of Sygic . It is quite nice and there is a 7 day trial version available on market :https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sygic.aura&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zeWdpYy5hdXJhIl0.

Hey all,
Anyone give those Samsung NFC TecTiles a go with their GalNex? It looks like really neat stuff!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
For what they are, the tags are overpriced. You can get tags for about 1/3 the cost from Tagstand.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Which app do you use to customize the NFC tags?
Sent from my AOKP Nexus using xda Premium
Yeah, the tags are really over priced... but they get the job done. I picked some up at my local Sprint store for me and my dad, (he has the Evo LTE) and they work fine.

I also can confirm, just download the tectile app and configure them to what u want

Tec Tile in Google Play.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
i ordered a box of them from samsung with my 50% off coupon code.
however, i've never used nfc before outside of wallet.
if i set one to toggle wifi, gps, start car dock and put it in my car, when i scan it once to activate car mode, if i scan it a second time when i leave the car, will it
Only one way to find out... mind sharing the coupon code? Is it for Samsung.com?

I have played with the Tec Tiles. I hear that you can use the app in conjunction with Tasker to do more powerful things. Anyone know anything about this?

Is there a way I can put configuration on these other than using the TecTile app?
I want to put corporate settings for a wifi network on there, so the user simply adds their username and password and the rest of the network is setup. Is this possible?

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?

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.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app
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:

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.
Sent from my P-600 using XDA Premium HD app
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.
