I apologize for being new to this, but how do you use the GPS? All I see is an app that just downloads the position setting?
Would the GPS app work around the world (map wise).?
GPS is used in applications like Google Maps or navigation software like TomTom or Navigon.
For example, start Google Maps and set "Activate GPS" inside the application. Then, your exact postition will be shown on the google map.
Be carefull: gps does not work inside of buildings.
So I need to install google maps on the HD?

Car Menu and Google Maps Navigation. When you are out and about, Galaxy S makes finding your way around fun, easy and efficient. In the car, put Galaxy S into its mount, and weather, view map, voice search and navigation icons are instantly displayed. The Google Maps Navigation application allows you to find your destination easily and quickly even through the most complex streets. As you make your way, Galaxy’s internet-connected navigation with voice command and preinstalled Google Maps, provides three different views. Real street view, traffic view and satellite view.

Am I the only person who gets "Navigation is not available in your area" when I load the navigation app? Samsung are selling the phone with navigation as a feature, one I intended to use which is disabled because?
I was under the impression that Google Navigation was only available in the US as of right now.

I'm pretty sure they opened it up recently to the UK a short while ago, but so far I think thats it
I had the same issue, had to instal brut google maps to have working navigation. I knew google maps navigation wasn't available here, but it was kind of among to have a non working app pre installed ob a phone that is sold locally.
Sorry double post.

Its a modified version of google maps and Navigation that works outside of U.S. I use it all the time here in Australia. Perfect !!
Not available in the market, but you can find it here.

Its works in Canada.. Google Navigation has been working in Canada for about a year now.

There's no google Nav in aus yet as mentioned. Brut[maps] works, but be aware there are still some small subtle oddities (which don't really affect it's use), such as going the wrong way around on roundabouts (So if it says second exit, that might mean second exit counterclockwise, NOT the correct way).

h well it doesn't, apps haven't started to filter in to Win 8 yet given its a beta still, but I suspect once we start hitting the RCs we will see the app store getting larger with such apps, just now you need to remember that there are not many Win 7 tablets with GPS so demand is not high for your needs just yet.
Try using google earth - it works with GPS
I know this is a stretch but why not use the metro bing maps app. It does support location services.

Google's NAV isn't in my apps. All my other apps came over fine. Is it part of MAPS now ? If not, which one do I download from PLAY ? Searching for NAVIGATOR brings up a lot of choices.

Hy.
I bought iGO navigation and I am wondering how can I replace the S Voice navigation (originally the Google Maps)?
Is it possible to change the Maps to iGO software?

IF you have purchased the iGo legally (it is available for limited countries only), the question is ridiculous....
what for do you want to replace it? What would you like to replace?
As the navigation program, start iGo. and the iGo itself is able to use ant Text-to-speech engine you have installed on the phone.

I want to use S Voice hands free mode while I am driving. But if I say the command "Navigate to...etc." the S Voice start the Google Maps. And this is what I want to replace in S Voice to not start the Google Maps instead of iGO.

Hmm... it is quite mysterious and hidden trick to be used, I misunderstood you first time, apologies.
OK, to do the trick, you have to follow a deeply hidden, top secret Samsung;s procedure, which I will reveal for you...
Follow the LINK (do NOT populate it with others, it is deepest hidden Samy's secret!!!!111).
Use the SECOND link... it will be most appropriate for your level...
I wish you success with the hacking your phone using this procedure for highest level geeks....

First of all you are not funny!
Second that I am not dummy.
Third that in this settings menu I cannot change the app which will start automatically in S Voice as navigation.
So the dummy is you...

Yes, you are absolutely right, your highness.
My deep apologies that you are unable to use the Google search for:
1. S-voice configuration (provided you with link in previous post)
2. How to check what is your current default navigation app (TIP: click on any address in your contacts* and check what app(s) are displayed as alternatives or if Google Maps starts without any warning);
2. How to change of the default navigation application from Maps to iGo.
* - please do not ask how to add the address to the contact name, DIY.

Strange... I see Sygic, Maps, Earth and igo...Have you BOUGHT the iGo from the legal source? If so, it shall be visible as navigation application. Ask NavNgo support why it is not in your case.
Is there any way to start copilot or Tom Tom instead of Google navigation when use Google map?
I don't think so. I can't see anyway you could do that.
I remember few years ago there was a button you could just click and run any navi app installed. Weird. It is almost like an apple now- forcing to use Google everywhere.
