Nice Idea!

Is it possible to store maps offline?
Whats about Europe maps? Germany? ;-)

we convert map from ESRI shape files (*.shp) so if you have Europe maps (or any maps , pls send to us and we will convert to .map for PANav.
Now in this version we do not use any internet access for the map, the map is stored in the app.
Thank calvin42 for your comment!
Well, Calvin talked about Openstreetmaps, a free (like free speech, but also like free beer) maping of the entire world.
Maps from England, Germany, and Netherlands are quite complete and usable. Other european countries are on the way.
USA and India are quite complete too.
Have a look at http://www.openstreetmap.org , it would be great to see our work (i'm a contributer) used by a good turn-to-turn app.
yes, i know about openstreetmap but PANav do not use any internet connection (wifi/wimax/gprs/3G...) to get the map. The map is offline mode, inside the app.

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.

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.

Rick

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.
Hey i have looked around and cant seem to find a GPS app for the Diamond that doesnt take up 2G of space. Post GPS apps that you would suggest if you dont mind. Thank you!
Google Maps?
They don't have maps preloaded like tomtom/garmin/igo...
which kind? for navigation with maps
or
just position coordinates?
If you just want to get your coordinates you could use HTC gps tool its very small .
If you need street navigation, then most of the apps arent that big... but maps are! So only chance to get them smaller is to only install your own country map or smaller. I once heared theres a garmin version where you could even just download the needed parts but I dont know if this is really worth the trouble.... 4gb are more than big enough for me ^^... especially if navigation uses only about 300mb
2 gigs maaaay if you install ALL maps ? I use navigon only with german map and its about 334mb (software + map)

Where abouts in the world are you? Not all GPS programmes have maps for all parts of the world, so your choice will depend upon where you are. As other posts have said it is the maps not the software that takes the space. So you can get regional maps rather than full continent ones. For example Tom Tom sell all of Europe, or just particular countries, and all of the USA or just regions.
Otherwise you are stuck with using software that downloads the maps as and when you need them. Google is a free example, but many phone companies now have theri own software that does that and which you pay a monthly fee to use. Google really is just maps rather than true navigational (turn by turn) software, but the phone companies' ones are fully featured. But if you do it that way it can get VERY expensive in download costs unless you have a data includive contract. Even then if you are roaming out of area (just when you need the maps) it can cost a fortune
I live in Canada.
iGo8 here. Application with Canada contents takes approximately 400mb of storage.
PLease any one here can tell me
i have a HTC diamond Indian Version.....
i want to use GPS in it that too free...
i know its possible but can any one tell me how !!..?
will be really thankful to you!!
Do you mean GPS (Global Positioning System) or GPRS (General Packet Radio Service)!
If first, simply search and install HTC GPS Tool for activating your intenal GPS! The Tool is really self-explaining! If you meant GPRS, yo'll need a special data option from your provider for a fixed amount of money each month!

Download tomtom home form the website, if you use that to install the latest version of tomtom to your diamond you will get one free city map to try it out its bettter than nothing and its free init lol
You can use Mapking,
It's not free but not expensive , and u have Trial few days...
it means without GPRS
i cannot use GPS!!!..
is that true!!.
i tried google maps ..
but it uses Internet... when i connected to my computer!!...
so if it uses internet then whats the use of GPS!!!...
It uses the Internet connection to download Google Maps data.
GPS is used for getting your actual position. With that position Google Maps will download a card snippet representing your actual position.

Dude... there are 2 types of GPS technology. GPS and AGPS(AsssistedGPS). programs like Google maps uses AGPS service, means, they use a packet service (GPRS/EDGE), to get a faster GPS fix. If you choose a GPS program,say Satguide etc.. they completely rely on GPS (can work without GPRS/EDGE), but you have to pay for the service and maps. You might get trial versions of these softwares, but i dont think any of them provides it for free.
Alternatively you could try GPS cycle computer, which would track ur path, speed, directions, altitude... , but it is not designed to overlay your current location on a map. However, it can provide you with a graph details about your route.
dude download map my india software....i will send u india's map........its free to use and dosent need any gprs connection
What is the best software to use that doesnt require cell service. Including map updates.
I use copilot live 8...
$30.00...and it does not need a data signal as the maps are stored on your SD card.
For updates, im sure you can hook up to a wifi signal...or, you can download the Copilot Desktop application and sync maps/voices/updates to your phone that way.
I do have Copilot Live 8 also, so far it's great and the graphics are nicely with turn by turn navigation.
iGO 8 and TomTom
iGO8 have the option of installing individual city map! save alot of space TT have to put the whole NA map on it .. yikes!
I use GARMIN LOVE IT
I also use Garmin, love the lack of subscription needed to do internet searches for nearby places, unlike most of the others. So, you never have to worry about the locations being out of date.
Does Garmin running well with HD2 ? i had Garmin XT on my Satio (yes i still love that phone ) and it do the recalculating alot, with tomtom,Sygic they are fine no recalculation. Therefore, i dont want to put Garmin on my HD2
are any of these gps's free?
well they arent free...... but it anyone has a free trial (keyword: trial) feel free to share the link

I use Navicomputer on my Tytn II, but it seems to also work on the HTC HD2 too (according to other people posting). Navicomputer uses the Open Street Maps and can do this online or you can download them and use it when there is no connection (I do this when I travel outside the US).

You can't do a search for an address when in Offline Mode. Can you?
I tried NaviComputer, and looks like its only good for looking at where you are in the map and not for it to tell you where you should go. And ofcourse for tracking your hiking trail (which it is meant for).
