with turn by turn directions. thank you!!
Google maps (but you'll pay your phone bills crying). You wont find any free apps with offline maps because GIS is biiiiggg work and wants to get paid. I love Garmin XT, Oziexplorer with own maps for offroading/hiking
any other options?
- google maps does not support voice
- im sure i read someware that the map can be cached and downloaded offline. anybody can help?
AmazeGPS is an alternative.
They have some issues with the current version but a new build is out this sunday according to their forums.

If this as already been asked I apologize as I already "Searched" and cant find anything. I was wondering if there is a free Garmin Mobile app out there? I really didnt want to buy it but its looking like I'm gonna have to.
Nope, the app is free, but the maps are not. If you want free navigation, get Bing.
Ok, I have the app loaded now. Im trying to purchase now instead of the free trial from my phone and keep getting an error message I believe because I dont have an external gps to hook up to it. Is there a way around this and if not which maps are compatible to the HD2?
I do not know. The best way to get Garmin working to purchase the SD card bundle from Garmin. But really, just fire up the marketplace and download Bing, its got free turn by turn navigation, streets are announced by name, dynamically changing maps(IE, it shows a literal map of your location, not just the roads), and, most importantly, its 100% free and works excellently on the HD2.

Yes there is..You just go to SETTINGS then REMOTE GPS. Make sure you choose the port that Garmin will use to obtain GPS data. If you go to your phone's GPS Settings under program tab whatever port is selected there that should be the port that you are going to use in Garmin.
The latest version is 5.00.20wp
Despite what anyone says. Bing still needs some improvement, along with Google.
I have HTC Legend and I installed Maps 4.6 on it. I'd like to use google navigation but i don't know if i need to install it or it is included in maps....
Once installed the application, it downloads the maps as needed, using any kind of internet connection, you don't have to worry about the maps, just be sure you are connected someway.
As far as I know, navigation is not available everywhere, and Google is offering it in just some countries, if this is your case, you can search the forum for "brut mod", that is a modification of the Google nav application so can be use everywhere. It also caches the maps in the device so you use less of your internet allowance.
Hope I was useful.
Cheers
nevermind >.<
Hi
Sorry if this has been discussed, but I couldn't find anything.
I'm interested in buying an Optimus One and I would really like to know what GPS software can I install, because GoogleMaps is not an option where there's no 3G signal...
Is iGO available for Android?
I'm really new in Andoid stuff, just got rid of my good-for-nothing Nokia 5230 (Symbian really sucks, the only good thing in it was the OviMaps app).
I ude ndrive..it cost $ but the ui turn by turn a like alot.
hello 22VIN ,
on my optimus one, I have installed iGO My Way 8.4.2.13242 and Sygic Aura. both of them is working very well no need 3G, just GPS enabled. the gps receiver itself is very fast , sensitive & accurate. I recommend it.
Try Copilot or Navigon.

If iGO works this is the best solution for me, because iGO has a very complete map of Romania (this I know for sure, I don't know anything about the other software) and I am very familiar to the interface.
3G is useful for A-GPS, because you can get a position lock in a few seconds, but if you say the receiver is fast, then it's ok.
Thanks for the answers
No, just use the new google maps 5.0. Has offline caching now.

Yeah. But still isn't as good as iGO. Which does have an Android version, just as mr_ace_sk said. I'm using v8.4.2.124036 with maps from July 2010 on my LG P500. I'm pleased with this combination.

Here you go... Sorry for the delayed reply... This one is not the orignal one.. But its good.. You can use the 240MB India premium maps with this
And here is the original.
I use OruxMaps for the very reason that it supports full offline use. You prepare a map on the PC using mobile atlas creator (aka download maps from google maps or any provider, then create a file you can use on OruxMaps).
1. OruxMaps http://www.oruxmaps.com/index_en.html
2. MobAc http://mobac.dnsalias.org/
Downloaded my city's entire map from layers 16 - 18 xD I have never accessed the internet with my phone using OruxMaps for GPS stuff, and I have never manually cached stuff using the phone

That would be great. MEans no data connection or GPS required.
I plan to buy one in the next couple of days.
I was wondering, can I still use those maps if I switch to FLIGHT MODE? Or for initial fix A-GPS is a must.
I ask this question because many entry level phones have very poor GPS antenna, which means getting a cold fix without A-GPS can take 15-20 minutes, if not more.
Yes.. You can ...
Need india map file for ndrive
mod edit: Do not ask for warez. This is the last warning!
btw i am using google maps navigation feature it's 98% acurate
Is there an GPS app on market place which i can use on my tab 10.1? My goal is to use to GPS and maps without internet. Please reply ONLY if you you have tested and downloaded the app. Thanks in advance
Gaia works fine. I got it free back when Amazon Appstore actually gave away good apps at its inception.
You can also use the included Google Nav app offline.
Sygic Aura works, there's a trial version available. http://is.gd/hgnjv0
You can download maps and then use Google Maps offline, but you can't use any of the navigation features without a network connection (apart from seeing where you are on the pre-downloaded map).

Ah, thank you letting me know I'm not the only one who has noticed the quality of Amazon's free apps has gone doooooooooooown. Not that they owe anybody anything, but the free apps always suck now.
I am using Navigon for offline navigation that also has a map feature. costs somewhat though.
Is there any free app Navigation for HD2 (everything stock).
If so which is best and how, where can I get it?
Did you tried to google ;-) ?
You want to drive and navigate? If not Google Maps would be enough good or MGMaps (it's for j2me - don't know does it work nice, never tested).
I've found also Nav4All..
Navigon, Sygic. Once you get the app installed, they will download the maps for you.
