Google Navigation for outside of US Work Around

I don't know if this has been mentioned before so if it was, please delete/remove this thread.
EU/UK users can't enjoy some of the 2.1/N1 features on our Desires such as Voice-to-Text and Google Navigation. Fortunately, there are solutions to both. The Voice-to-Text has already been linked and today I found out how we can get Google Navigation too.
Go to the Android Market, search for Nav Launcher and download the application. Lauch Nav Launcher and download Google Maps [brut] ... voila ... Google Navigation for the rest of the world. I tested it and it seems to work in Spain ... i.e. it plots the route and starts talking etc. Will try it properly when I have a chance. In either case, better than no Google Navigation.

Nav works.

Thanks!! I tested Nav Launcher and Google Maps [brut] and it works in London, UK.
Can you please detail as to how to have the voice-to-text working?

tried it an it worked for me. very nice. but i think i stick with co pilot for now.. bit sentimental on my G1 but flys on my Desire. nice cheap alternative anyway. for those who don't have co pilot.

It doesn't work in the Netherlands.

cool thanks, to make it fully work im guessing i have to run the Brut version right? normal maps wont work ?

I tried it out a few weeks ago, worked OK but was gimped in areas. Hopefully an official version with decent maps, voice etc will come out soon.
yes you need the brut maps.
Official site for it is: http://navlauncher.madcowsolutions.com/

So the turn instruction voice does not come way too late?

My experience as well (although on the X10). That, and most of the times the voice instructions were either simply omitted or garbled.
A mistake here was that the software tries to say the name of the street, instead of doing like most other nav-software and simply state "left turn ahead, 100m".

Even with the web market,when i try to add my device it says "forbidden country"!!!
and btw, also in Syria

Hmmmm idk if i can post this link in here... correct me if i am wrong
i think this is a good alternative for the original android market app
the appplanet application
applanet.net

I just need an app or a way so i can change my location or something like this so google's servers will let me use the market!
But thanks for you're help

Try an app called market access. Google it or search xda. It will let you pick the country's market you want.

I'll pray for you
if you know the application name, just add .apk to the application name and try to download it from 4shared.com. you will find most of the Apps, but to be true, that will not be as great as access to Market. Here in Dubai,we have access to only FREE apps in the market, but where as i travel to India, i can purchase apps from Market. so try moving to another country
Good Luck.

No Android Market in Sudan
Same problem my friend from Sudan. iam also from Sudan and iam the only one here who understand you very well...I used Applanet since i came from outside sudan..then it stop working...finally i use to search manually for applications in the web.....
but....
laugh a lot when you see all these commercials about android in Sudan....I am using Samsung Galaxy S...worth 500 Euros..but no market.. what a waste...

Root your phone(no need for custom hboot, recovery, rom, or whatever, just root it) and then use market enabler([us] T-mobile setting has all the apps that are on the market I think)...

Google maps for windows

Sorry if this has been asked, but is there any word on official google maps for win7?
Is it at least planned?

you can try looking for gMaps. Not sure if its official or not.
Click on Thanks button, if I helped.

If you don't see an official Google Maps app in the market place it doesn't exist That said, I highly doubt they'll be releasing one any time soon either! Not until Windows phone get's a larger more competitive market share.

Use Outdoor Navigation from GPS Tuner
It can display every type of map you can imagine

[Q] Jelly Bean Voice Search Woes ?

Hello,
does anyone have issues with the voice search not working as advertised on the keynote?
For example, asking "Who's is the Prime Minister of Japan" just returns a web search result and nothing else. No talking back.
It seems as though it's been disabled, can anyone confirm this?
Edit: Perhaps it's because I'm outside of the US? I'd love to hear back from users with Jellybean outside and inside the US.

Google Now/Search definitely talks back. I just tried that right now. Have you enabled all the features in keyboard/typing and search settings? Try a restart also after

Must be because you are in Us.
Here in new Zealand I can confirm no speech, have yet to try via USA based proxy.

Works for me in .au if I ask it the exact same question as in the first post "Who's is the Prime Minister of Japan"

I can but i m not very familiar with the file name if u do tell me i ll extract and give u

Alright so I can confirm. Once I went home I was able to get it to talk back and respond to some basic questions, such as "weather" and "who is prime minister of x".
Anyone have any other cool questions you asked that Google responds to? For example, currency conversion doesn't respond back to me, just shows me search.
Although I can never get the mapping questions to show up. "Map of gas stations near me", or "Map of closest 7 eleven"
Also, my Google Now shows no results.

Confirmed working over here in Australia. Pretty cool actually. Now excuse me I've got a bus full of iPhoneys to show off to!

I can't get it to talk, it just shows me some googlelinks here in germany :/

For me it didn't work at my job. I'm assuming because of proxies or something? Not entirely sure. Try using 3G and try restarting your phone once too..

It's VoiceSearch.apk and GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
I'd appreciate it too.

when I change every language-setting to english it works.

Seems a bit hit or miss.
Ask who the prime minister of japan is and i get voice and images etc. Ask who it is for england and i get a google search.
Also, sending texts, settings alarms etc doesn't work

For England if you ask, "Who is the Prime Minister of UK" it works.
For SMS I say, "Send text to Dad I'm going to be late today" works for me.
For Alarm, I say, "Set and Alarm for 430 am tomorrow" also works.
Fun think to try, "What is the answer to life, the universe and everything" you get, "42"

Other things I've noticed:
"Where are all the petrol stations near me" works. Whereas, "where are all the gas stations near me" didn't. Then slowly, over time, as I used it more they started to work.
It seems like something is going on in the servers at ol google.
