Hello...what I am looking for is a navigation app that will allow me to use 100% customized routes. Allow me to explain: I am a motorcycle rider & I like to take long motorcycle trips (500 miles a day sometimes) OFF the beaten path. I don't want to ride main streets & major highways. Those are boring! I want to be able to customize a route 100% with nothing but back roads & have that on my device for turn by turn navigation.
I can design such a route on my PC using Google Maps but there seems to be no way to import that route into maps or navigation on my device.
So does anyone know of an app that will import my 100% customized routes onto my device, or an app that will allow me to design 100% customized routes right on my device?
I know I used 100% a lot, but I'm really trying to stress that I don't want any route suggestions from the app itself!
Thanks in advance!

I was under the impression if you saved your route to "my maps" in Google Maps you could access it from your phone...

Sounds like you could use the"Dual Sport Map App" I think a search on the play store for dual sport maps and or craftycoder will bring it up. (Sorry for no links,I'm new and not allowed yet)
While it sounds like it may be for off road use only ,it isn't.
A lot of people use it to cruise the way out of the way places and they even share their routes on the web site the developer made. You can also use that website to map out your own routes then load them to your phone.The site address is dualsportmaps DOT com
Some think the App is expensive at $20,however it was well worth it for me just for functionality,and he is giving a lot of support to the backroad bombing community.
I started using it when I wanted all the functions of the high end motorcycle GPS units but didn't want to spend the $600+ entry fee.
So I got a large screen android device, a blue tooth head set, a bar mount and that App.It has been working great.
In case you haven't come across it yet, there is a forum for riders like you(advrider DOT com) and the developer of the App maintains a thread there for extra support.
A google search for site:advrider DOT com 691537 should bring you right to it if you know what to do with the "DOT"
Hope this helps
Oruxmaps is pretty sweet and it is free. You have to create your own maps (did mine with maps from google maps) and stitch them together but for free I consider it worth the time. Here is the link: google play oruxmaps

No I have not. Still searching for something better, but the method I'm using works.
So I have some tags, and what I want to do, is make a NFC Facebook check in for my bar. So when someone comes in, they can scan the NFC and it checks them in. Easy? lol
I can easily make the tag with NFC task launcher, however when I test it with a phone that does not have NFC task launcher, it doesn't work. But, it works fine with mine.
How can I write a tag that will allow users to scan a tag and check in?
I have tried several NFC writing apps, and none seem to be able to write a tag that can do this.

that my dear friend will be the magic sauce. a lot of things are possible when you have custom programming but its just that custom.
I am pretty sure what needs to happen is FACEBOOK ITSELF needs to support this. IE they need to have facebook on the phone and that app needs to support "checking in" via NFC.
then you can make a universal tag that anyone can "tap" as long as they have the facebook app.
no matter what SOME custom program will need to be installed unless its built into the OS
i think i got it to work
what i did was take the URL from our facebook page and wrote that to the nfc tag.
my issue with that was the URL was https://www.facebook.com/stuff/mores_stuff
once i changed it to http:// it started working
also doing it that way works great because the page it brings you to not only allows you to check in, but you can also like the page, tag your friends, etc.
now i just need to have more people with different devices test it out.
then i'm going to make NFC drink specials and menus
That is an awesome idea! This is the kind of ingenuity that will hopefully prompt more manufacturers to implement nfc in their devices and more companies to use nfc in their establishments.

Cool idea and thanks for sharing the solution - good info to have when people ask!
Sweet, glad I found this. Though I still had problems through NFC Task Launcher, I completed using NFC Writer.
At the business I am creating these tags for, I do have some questions. (Hope this thread isnt too old to dig up)
I'd like to also write 4sq, google, twitter check ins. I saw this capable with NFC Task Launcher, but again anyone whom taps the tag without the app will be directed to the store. Or would it be better to write a tag for each?
Hi all,
I've an subject on the NFC, and I want to do a demonstration of the NFC tags, with something really original.
The idea can be useless, it doesn't matter, but it must be really original.
If some of you can help me, it will be very useful.
Thank you .
This sounds awesome! Too bad I'm not clever...

If you wanted to be crazy you could have a bunch of lights controlled by a computer. You could encode the nfc tags to send commands (somehow) to the computer to flash different light patterns and play different sounds.
You could do a whole light show/dj set just by scanning nfc tags.

You could just make a NFC activated bomb
You could use an NFC tag to send a Bluetooth signal to an Arduino to control something like a servo or even lighting . I'm not sure how to do it or if its even feasible but it's a creative idea

Nice idea too, if I'm not able to do the idea of Psichi, I will try it. Thank you!
What you can do depends on the NFC App. One of the most creative NFC apps is AVX or EVA (Same app, 2 different UI's) because AVX is not an NFC App - it's a Voice Control app that can do a million things (literally). Well the developer also added NFC control into the app so anything the app can do can now be coded as a command on an NFC Tag.
Look up AVX and EVA on YouTube. There are hours and hours of video demonstrating all the app can do. Look up AVX NFC to see the video that shows how any of those things can be triggered with an NFC Tag.

Social gaming at the physical level
One of the major breakthroughs for NFC technology is that it bridges the virtual nature of online activity with physical interactions. Check out StreetCred on Google Play, it's designed to take social gaming to the streets at a physical interaction level. Its structure forces gaming interactions to be done face to face, on the streets, simulating what streetcred is meant to be.

Hi
I want a good nfc task App. I have seen one called nfc tasker. But is it any good? Dødes anyone have sugestions for other apps?
nfc task launcher, they have cheap tags through their app store too
Is it easy to use?
+1 for NFC Task Launcher. Best & Pretties NFC app.
Real easy to use. Pick a Profile (Car, Home, Bed, Office), and write to tag. Add other task to the pre-made profiles, or make your own from scratch. Erase tags too.
If you want to write URLs, V-Cards, Messages, etc then get Tagstand Writer (by the same developers of NFC Task Launcher)
(also in NFC Task Launcher, scroll to the left to "Free Tags" and get two free tags by posting to Twitter)
Is there an app that lets me read a nfc/rfid card and later lets the phone act as that card?

It has nothing to do with it. It would simply make less for some of us to carry.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Basically NFC is based on RFID standards but uses different frequencies so the two don't work together. That said, many companies are embracing NFC now and things like Mastercard Paypass and Visa Paywave technology use it. If these companies pulled their finger out and actually started allowing us to connect our accounts to the phone through the likes of Google Wallet, we could do away with physical wallets altogether!
Security is the big issue though and this is why you will never be able to just scan and then use a card, imagine how easy it would be to just swish your phone past someones wallet in a queue and then pay with their card! There is already equipment fairly readily available that can be put together and programmed to do this, putting that tech in everyones hands would be asking for trouble.
Back on topic. I highly recommend NFC Task Launcher and, for ultimate automation, use it with Tasker. That lets you do basically anything you want with your phone at the simple swipe of a tag.
I see, I did get a all that reads the access card @work so I was thinking that an app would let me read and replicate so that I could enter the office complex even if I forgot my card...
Introduction
So a few months ago I got my first NFC implant in my left hand, I haven't been able to find a thread for those of us who have them or much information on them apart from the basics.
So here it is.
*UPDATE*
Did you know I gave a talk on NFC implants at The March Of The Droids Conference?
You do now, so here's the video

What You Should Know
It's virtually painless to have them implanted
They should last a life time
The implant itself is about the size of a grain of rice
They can be removed easily if needed
They are smaller than standard NFC tags and therefore have a smaller range, on my note 2 it took me a while to find the spot I had to place my phone (the center of "SAMSUNG" on the back), however a week later I was able to get it straight away
They only have a small amount of storage, if you want to use it for longer or multiple links etc a url shortener is probably your best bet, however it can handle " my name, phone number, email address and facebook page"
You can feel it under the skin, but cant see any lump etc
Work or UNI cards can't be copied over to it however as the implant is Miifare compatible, my IT department at uni were more than happy to scan my hand and add it to the system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
General Uses
Unlocking phones
Miifare authentication
Logging in to Windows
Passing information such as URLs and contact details without the need for social media or email etc
Launching Tasker profiles
Opening Apps
Unlocking Samsung EZON digital locks
Activating Cyanogen Profiles
Anything you can use a NFC tag, RFID tag or Miifare card for!

In Android
Unlocking your device
Prior to Android 5.0.0
By default in android, NFC is turned off when your screen is off or the device is locked, to enable a NFC implant to unlock a stock lock screen their is a Xposed Module called "NFC LockScreenOffEnabler" which allows NFC polling without your device being unlocked or if you so desire your screen being on as well. This module also includes the ability to select tags that can unlock your device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5.0.0 +
With Androids new smart unlock you can set your device to unlock with nfc without the need for root and Xposed, to set this up all you need to do is navigate to:
Settings > Security > Smart Lock > Trusted Devices
Then simply tap the + icon, select NFC and scan your implant.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
with either method once you have done this all you need to do is to do is to scan your tag whenever you are at your lockscreen and your device should unlock for you
Sharing links and contact details
This is possibly the most simple use for an NFC tag and can be achieved through most nfc apps, I favour PLAY STORE: NFC Tools.
once the app has been installed, open it and select the "write" tab, select "add record" and then either URL or contact depending on your needs.
URL:
after selecting URL from the add record screen all you need to do is to select your URL scheme from the drop down menu the will usually be either HTTP:// or HTTPS:// and then enter the remainder of the url in the text box to its right.
I usually use a URL shortener such as goo.gl as the implants have limited storage capacity.
Select ok and the on the following screen select "write" and scan your implant. Done!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Contact details:
after selecting contact from the add record screen you will see a simple self explanatory form including: name, company, phone number, email and website. after entering all or some of this information, select ok and the on the following screen select "write" and scan your implant. Done!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once these have written, scanning your implant with any nfc enabled phone should either open the URL or add the contact details to the devices contacts
Sharing Social Media App Links
You want someone to be able to scan your implant and their Twitter or Facebook app open to your profile? If you were to set it up so that upon scanning the app was opened straight away this could cause issues if they did not have said app, they would be instead directed to the play store and the link would be lost unless they installed and re-scanned your implant. However Android allows an excellent way around this.
Start by navigating to the "Write" tab in NFC Tools as above in the "Sharing Links" section
Select "Add Record" followed by "Social Networks"
Select the network of your choice and in the next screen enter the username associated with the profile you wish to open
Hit "write" and and scan your tag
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now when some one scans your tag instead of opening the link in either the app or their browser it should instead give them the choice to open it with any applicable applications
Opening mifare card controlled doors at work and uni etc
simply put the only way to do this is to speak to your IT department, if they are ok with it they will scan your tag with a reader and add you to the system. mine were more than happy to accommodate and the entire process took less than 2 minutes. not including the time it took to answer all the usual questions "why, how and what?". you should immediately be able to start using it.
PSA: It is highly advised that you check with your IT department first as to the type of Mifare they use, NFC implants use Mifare Ultralight which may not be compatible with your system. Also any other method of using your implant to open doors etc may violate your companies security policy, please be smart and only do this through your IT department.

The two apps I use for day to day use of my tag are: PLAY STORE: NFC Tools and PLAY STORE: Dangerous NFC
NFC Tools comes with loads of features, not just useful for implants but for all NFC tags making it simple to read and write to your tag a wide variety of records, simply select the type of record you would like e.g. URL and it brings you up a wizard to complete your record.
Dangerous NFC however ensures your implant cannot be locked permanently and allows you to set a 32 bit password to stop others unlocking your tag

Where can I get one?
The implant I have is a NTAG216 from Dangerous things and can be bought here and will set you back £60 GBP, $100 USD or 80 Euros. These come in a sterile injector assembly and also come with a bottle of chloraprep skin prep, sterile surgical gloves, bandages a gauze pads. Most piercing studios however should already have these things.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Getting it implanted
Dangerous Things offer a map of piercers that are competent in the implantation which can be found here and also offer training manuals and videos on the implantation procedure for piercers who have not done it before. as well as a guide for approaching a piercer new to implants, the following is an excerpt from that guide
Print out, in color if possible, the two pro guides from http://dangerousthings.com/pro-guide, specifically the Introduction to Implantable Transponders for Professionals, and the Professional Guide to 2x12mm Transponder Installation documents.
Call local piercers in your area to schedule an appointment to simply come in and talk about a specific piercing you want. Do not talk about the implant or go into detail on the phone, just say you’d like to talk to them before you decide to get a piercing. They should be happy to have you come in and chat.
Go to the shop with the printed documents. Bring the product with you, but do not expect to get it implanted that day. The best you can expect would be to hand over the documents for the piercer to review at a later time, and have a short discussion about what it is you want implanted and why. If you’re lucky, the piercer will be ok with it and you’ll get an implant done that day.
Plan to visit multiple shops until you find one willing to perform the procedure.
If we can help in any way, let the piercer know we’re available for free phone consulting and advanced Q&A, just contact us via the website and we’ll call them.
When you get a piercer to perform the install, please let us know who by sending us an email, submit our contact form, or ping us on Facebook. We’d love to get their information so we can upgrade them to a full partner and list them on our partner map!
I can't fault this advice in the slightest however I would add that a piercer who is familiar with micro-dermals as implantation
The procedure itself doesn't take more than a minute and simply involves injecting the implant under the skin

Click to collapse
For now that's all, if there is anything you think I should add or have any questions feel free to ask
*UPDATE*
See the video in the first post to hear my full implant story
I'll lead by example and share my story first, after seeing an article on Biohacking about a year ago I took an interest and started looking for ways to add tech to myself in a more sterile/surgical way than I had seen many people do.
I found a company who sold NFC NTAG216 tags encased in bioglass about the size of grains of rice and preloaded into a syringe like injector assembly, so after months of pondering I contacted my local piercing shop (very good/clean) and proposed the idea to one of the guys, he loved the idea and agreed to do the implantation after reading the training manuals etc.
a week later my parcel arrived from across the pond, all very sterile and included loads of extras like gauze, plasters and Chloraprep.
heading back down to the piercing studio, he took a look at the injector and we spoke about it for about 45 min whilst he marked up placement in my left hand and then he did it, I was expecting a massive amount of pain but it actually only hurt about as much as an injection and a minute later it was done leaving only a red dot behind to show something has ever actually broken the skin.
I now use mine to unlock my Note 2 after installing an Xposed module that allows you to detect nfc whilst locked another great use is to send people links without having to involve email or social media etc, just copy it to my hand and pick up their phone and it opens
Where could I get one done at, and what kind of things do I need to know before I get one?

No it does not affect payments in any way
Today is one week since I got mine put in. It's going fine, I didn't lift weights this week or even play much guitar (killing me).
However, mine migrated a bit. I rewatched the video after the piercer put it in, and realized he inserted the needle a little far back to begin with. Shame on me for not rewatching it right before I went in to get it done. He watched the video, read the manuals (according to him) but he also kinda had an "all-knowing, I know what's best, I've been doing piercings for 20 years" personality.
So mine has migrated towards the back. One end is kinda close to that trapezoid bone and near my thumb bone. It's still within the fleshy part and I haven't had any pain. I'm thinking it will be fine, because even if it was close it's still sitting ABOVE the bones and shouldn't interfere with anything, right?
I guess it could always be removed if it ever caused issues. Trying not to be a hypochondriac, you know? I think it's fine. How was placement on yours?
I'm trying to figure out a door lock right now. I can't replace anything at my apartment complex, so the Samsung Ezons are out of the question. I don't like them anyways, aesthetically. I want the outside of my door to look stock. The options that mount onto existing deadbolts from the inside are all BLE and WiFi. I wish there was a Z-Wave (if you know what that is) NFC/RFID reader. With that set up you could read the tag and send a command to a lock that's Z-Wave compatible as well which would unlock the door.
What're you doing with yours? Since I installed this I'm committed to the technology now lol.

I just got the xNT implanted two weeks ago, awesome little piece of future. Talked a med student buddy of mine into doing it.
Tried to embed my video here, but I can't since this is my first post.
I've decided to ditch the Samsung and go with an Arduino DIY lock using the RC522 as the actual reader. So far I only have a "electric door strike" type of lock, but I think I'm gonna find some kind of electric deadbolt on ebay.
If anyone has an alternative to the RC522 reader that is more compatible with the cylindrical form factor of the tag, please let me know :fingers-crossed:

How has yours healed? Any migration? Mine moved a bit and is further back than I'd like, but it's still within the webbing and don't think it'll cause any issues.
That little arduino reader looks sweet. I've never got into coding anything like that. I know I could figure it out but would honestly prefer to just buy something. Either way, could you keep me updated?
You running NFC LocksreenOffEnabler? It works sweet with my N5. Paired with the Knock Code module with lines and taps hidden, the lock screen is completely blank. Pretty nifty, anyone who would pick this up would have absolutely no clue how to unlock it.

Yes, more or less completely healed after 13 days. Mine has. not. moved. at. all. I'm a bit surprised actually. The guy who did it, did a good job pushing the needle past the final resting place, then pulling back a bit before injecting. This made a nice pocket for the tag to rest in.
Arduino is pretty easy, I had no prior coding experience. You can get finished or almost finished scripts for all kinds of ****. I'll post when its done
Not using my tag with my N5 (yet). I have a ballistic case, which is pretty thick. I can still read it quite consistently but it's not ideal imo. Damn son, blank lockscreen is frisky

Grab Knock Code Xposed module. All it does is change the stock pattern security to four knock boxes like the G3, so set a pattern before enabling it. I like this setup because it's still stock. I don't like aftermarket lock screens, they always feel cheap to me.
At first it'll have 4 sectioned off boxes that flash when you knock them. Hide the grid and the flashing and it's completely invisible to anyone, but you knock it like normal. Long press any box to reset the pattern if you **** up entering it.
This is the slickest setup I've used. Attached is a photo of my lock screen and a photo of the message it gives you after long pressing.

Do you have any info permanently written to your tag? I had to freeze Tags.apk so I didn't get the empty tag message pop up after every unlock, only thing is disabling that affects the the NFC sounds. Wish there was a way to keep vCard info on the tag without it triggering every time on unlock.

Do you have any info permanently written to your tag? I had to freeze Tags.apk so I didn't get the empty tag message pop up after every unlock, only thing is disabling that affects the the NFC sounds. Wish there was a way to keep vCard info on the tag without it triggering every time on unlock.

NFC LocksreenOffEnabler has the ability to stop the sounds
I have "bad://access/development" permanently written to mine as I use locale with Tasker and this means you don't get the pop up when you scan it.

Freezing Tags.apk in TiBu gets rid of NFC sounds, regardless of the settings in NFC LSOE, weird bug I guess.
I was referring to something else written to the tag, like a vCard or Tasker task, or url. If you have that line written and something else written following it, it'll still launch the second thing, ya?
I wish there was a way to unlock the phone and not have the other info be scanned until scanning the tag again with the phone unlocked.

Not in this case the bad://access/development command means your tag will only work with locale and Tasker. So anything else written to it would not do anything
Your best bet for this feature would be to drop a message on the support thread for NFC LocksreenOffEnabler. I bet it could be an added feature or another solution could be found easily

I'll drop a question there myself
I asked for you, I'll post here if I get a reply

Ya, thanks. I was subscribed to that thread anyways. Someone did ask a similar question before I think, but it never got answered. I may ask too, the more the merrier.
Have you checked aliexpress? There are electronic deadbolts on there. However, I was thinking about all this recently, and I really think the best and most versatile solution for our implants would be Z-wave.
Don't know if you're familiar with it, but Z-Wave is a home automation protocol. Right now, this (https://benext.eu/shop/product_info.php?products_id=44) is the only RFID reader that's Z-Wave compatible, and it's ugly as ****.
You can make a little Rasberry Pi Z-Wave compatible with the RaZberry module. I don't know how to work with any of that stuff. If we were able to make a Z-Wave compatible RFID/NFC card reader, that would open us up to just about anything imaginable. That way, you could set up a reader built into the wall outside that would trigger a Z-Wave deadbolt to open the door, stick another reader by your light to turn on/off lights, one for the coffee maker, etc, etc, etc.
This seems so much better than making a dedicated system for every single thing you want the tag to work with.

I don't follow, why would I want a reader next to my light switch so I could turn my lights on etc. Surely I could just use the switch. Etc I don't see an advantage to these things apart from the deadbolt
