Any offline map software?

I currently have Google maps installed which is incredible (http://google.com/gmm), but does anyone know of any map software that I can use without a data connection? I was hoping for something as good and free as the google map.

i asked this a while ago in the general forum, there is one by nokia called smart2go, but apparently nothing else

That is a neat offline map. You can download maps from all over the world for free. The only thing that it is just literally just a map. Once I want to start putting in locations and mapping routes, that's when I gotta pay. It's nice tho, works fine on my WM5. Thanks for the find! I'm still open for suggestions if anybody knows of any other progs.

I'm about to try Pocket Streets 2002
I know I downloaded it free, but I think I may have to have Streets & Trips on the PC. I don't remember.... I'll let you know how it goes. I'm wondering if anyone else has any ancient stuff, when WiFi was our only internet option (in general), so live maps were pretty pointless.
Of course, there's the outdated data thing to consider.
I was also wondering if something like AvantGo might work. I imagine it would be possible to edit the page to add your own stuff. ???

Need a Map Program for WM6??

I am going to Alaska in 3 weeks. I need a road map program only. Dont need GPS. Does anyone have one they can spare or give me advice on what is out there.
Thanks

Anyone have iGuidance?

nokia's smart2go
it's free
download the maps for your country, sort of similar to google maps, only not as good

Is there another map software that you can download maps for and use it directly? For example, maps of two states, so you can drive from one point to another without GPS/WiFi.

smart2go will do that,
download and install the program, download whichever maps you want, use offline, or use with gps

GPS with no data?

hey guys i just flashed my sprint touch and am now using dharvey4651's rom. my question is how can i access gps and use maps without having a data connection(i only have a voice and txt plan). I'm pretty sure you have to download maps or something, but i dunno how or where to get them. Thanks!

You'll need a GPS app that uses full map sets, I think TomTom used predefined maps.

but where
where can i find the tomtom map. i tried googling it.

how do I enable GPS on sprints touch. and also I really would like to get picsel do you have it or know where to get it.
Rick

6.1
any one know how to get WM 6.1 on my HTC Touch

You'll have to flash a custom ROM with a 3.XX radio that will enable GPS. All Touch's come stock from carriers with a 1.XX radio. Check out the Vogue forum at PPCGeeks, there are tons of ROM's available. Just be sure to read EVERYTHING before you do this or it may end in you having no phone at all!

I have an unlimited data plan but I will be away this summer to another country. So I did a bit of search and found this solution: offline Google Map. The google map application won't cache the map (called tiles). You need (a) a software on your pc to download the tiles and (b) a software on your phone to display them.
(b) can be done using this software http://www.mgmaps.com/index.php. It will also do Yahoo, Live ... maps as well when you are online.
(a) can be done using the combination of the web apps here http://www.mgmaps.com/create and the gMapMaker application.
The process is described here:http://forum.mgmaps.com/viewtopic.php?t=1116
It is labor intensive. I only need one city map in India so it works for me. But it won't be a reliable solution for the long term.

Great find! I haven't looked at, or plan on it, but looks like a great solution for anybody without the data plan.

Offline Maps

Hi All,
Does anyone know of an application like google maps that allows you to download a complete country map to your device? In my case Australia. I used to have an N95 8GB and Nokia Maps allowed me to download the entire map of Australia to my phone so I could use it offline. I would like to do this on my HD. I have google maps installed and it is perfect apart from the fact the it must have a data connection to work. I know it can cache maps but I am not interested in that, I want mapping on the fly. I also have TOMTOM installed but it's maps lack detail and the ability to browse around a map is very poor.
If anyone knows of a solution please let me know.
Cheers
Craig

Does It Compare To garmin? But i,ll try it

you wont get a decent program without paying for it.
you can install TomTom7 for free (search here for cabs) but that wont have any maps. you can download a map of a local area (not very big) to try it, this is done from TomTom once it is installed.

Just get CoPilot Live 8. Its $19.99 right now via DL with maps. deal

Thank you guys i,ll do that

i just saw one on freewarepocketpc.net called navicomputer that looked really cool. you might have to get your own maps....i didnt get that far
i have sprint, so i have sprintnav which is great.
also, there is waze which is kind of cool but the program needs to be used for a time to learn your area (you will have to try it to understand)
