[Q] Navigation on G3 - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello;
Just bought a G3. Quite happy with it. Like it more and more....BUT:
Which navigation works properly on G3?
I have been through them all - and they all seems to have som bugs.
MOD EDIT, discussion of warez is strictly forbidden on XDA @gregbradley
Sygic. Seems to work fine, but the navigation arrow dissapear when you rotate the unit at dosent come back. Clearly a bug.
Navigon. Seems to work fine, but some functions are missing, eg the roue adjustment. Otherwise it seems to be working fine.
Route66 works fine, but i am not a fan of it.
Some suggestions?

Sygic works great on my LG g3 running v10j global

Navfree

MOD EDIT, discussion of warez is strictly forbidden on XDA @gregbradley Only problem is it looses GPS fix sometimes, but it also does that in google maps. My Samsung Note 10.1 has a way better GPS thans the g3

My gps signal on G# is superb i must say. My older S3 had some big problems. But this one i think is working just great.

Google maps works fine, don't see a need to use anything else

Google Maps isn't perfect, but it's working fine on the G3. I have't tried anything else yet.

Waze works fine for me.

Dear all
There has been some discussion of warez in this thread. iGO is currently unavailable to new users so unless you paid for a version a long time ago it is now considered warez if you install it now.
Also, discussion of sites that let you download warez is forbidden on XDA.

Nope, I pay for mine and it's only just bearable. I'll be moving to a paid sub to StrongVPN when my current period ends.

Off line Sat Nav App

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.

[REQ][APP] Latest Zynga Poker

Didn't know whether to put this in General or Themes And Apps, but since it's a request I thought it would be ok here...
Zynga Poker is (for some reason) unavailable from the Play Store for Galaxy Y, but the app works perfectly fine for me. I currently have v2.3 but want to update it. The trouble is, I can't find an updated .apk anywhere! They either don't download or isn't the correct .apk. Is anyone able to provide me with the latest version? I think the latest is v2.71, but I'm not 100% sure. It's a free app, so I'm breaking no rules. Zynga Poker is free, which is what I want. NOT Zynga Pro Poker, that's a paid version...

Not really a problem though. You can still see your hand, pot and community cards. As long as you can see them, the game is still 100% playable... At least, it is to me

What to do.

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?

MOD EDIT: This isn't the marketplace, if you want to sell them then post in the marketplace and not in any of these forums. Thanks
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.

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.

Don't discuss anything related to obtaining a paid app's apk via unofficial sources. It's just the same as pirating, and XDA rules clearly prohibit such discussions.

If you want it, buy from play store. If it has a bug, wait for update. Don't discuss paid app via unofficial source.
