Finally Google Maps Is Avialable For Pocket Pc, I No Long Have To Run It Though My Java Emulator. I Say It About Time.
Here Is A Link If You Are Interested In Downloanding, Its Right Below Enjoy
The File Is A .cab File And Is Only 600kb
Hope You Guys Like It.
I've tried it. I like Windows Live search program much better. Google is good though.
thnx
thnx...i have tried to use it b4...n it seemed really off!!
this works like a charm!!
doing an md5 hash checked revieled that the cab i had and this one was different. then bingo.. what do you know! new version.
original version was 1.0.0 this one is 1.0.1
haven't noticed anything different. and i'm still getting those annoying errors.
im disappointed.
Zero errors here.
Works great and I love it. Way cooler then Live Search IMO.
Plus it loads 10 times faster. Very handy app!
Yeah, this is really fast and zippy. Very nice interface. Hope they can include hardware button assignments to zoom in and out in the future.
Worls great on the Wizard, even without OCing.
I couldnt seem to get this to work with wifi. Any ideas?
Map4PDA
Check out http://www.map4pda.com/ .
Its free and its even better than googlemaps.
Map4pda is an app like googlemaps . You can use maps from google earth,yahoomaps and some more providers.
anyone had success using it with a bluetooth gps ???
ps:
map4pda doesn't work for me... because i did not see any map... only black screen or sometimes white screen with a few black lines... just tryed out all map providers... everywhere the same...
!! Yes !!
Yes agreed, I've been using the original for a while, no difference here.

hmm. thats strange... If GoogleMaps works for you ,you should have no problems with Map4PDA...
Anyone know of a mapping app that will save the maps for OFFLINE viewing? I don't use WiFi all that often, and I would like the program to save the maps for my city, so I can view them offline.
Any ideas?
TIA
I love the google maps app, but have found a problem. It seems to have added a function under the contacts menu for outlook contacts that allows you to search google maps for a saved address. Only problem is, I have yet to get it to work. I always get an error message saying the address doesn't exist. I've even gone so far as to type in my address, copy the address format directly from google maps itself, pasted it in to my contact and I still get the same error. Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you.

If I remember correctly, map4pda has a function to cache to your memory card. I don't use it anymore though, for that reason actually.

Yeah, the address location thing doesn't work for me either
It always says "Unable to locate: " then the address, exactly as it should be.
I'd imagine Google will fix it soon. I just checked for a new version but it's still the 1.0.1 version.

I have this problem too. I have GPRS disabled and I would like to keep multiple driving directions for offline viewing as well. Map4PDA and Google Maps doesn't seem to be able to save information for offline driving directions. I emailed the developer for Map4PDA to see if there was a way, but no response yet. Anyone have any ideas as to be able to do this? Thanks.
Google Maps is working great for me right now. Like stated previsously, contact's address does not work.
I also use Virtual Earth Mobile...another great mobile map application.
I would use map4PDA, but i don't want to have to install .NET CompactFramwork as it takes up a lot of space on my PPC. I've used it before, and it's great, but I'll just stick with Google Maps & VirtualEarthMobile.
wm6 and google maps? a match made in hell?
Wondering if anyone knows a solution to this problem. I am running Google maps and wm6 and was wondering if there was a way to get it to stop coming up with the following error; "This program requires a data connection, and will retry automatically. in the mean time, please check your signal strength. (error:wininetReadError [6])"
It still loads the maps after prompting me with this annoying error screen. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
My best regards,
Gio
I get the same error as capncucci. I never tried the program with WM5 so I can't say if it occured there or not.

When i connect my WM5 to the pc with active sync and i use googlemaps i sometimes get this error also.
Gmaps just cant connect to the internet, when i press ok, it will work.
So proberly your connection (with AC, GPRS, WiFi) to the internet isnt that reliable.
Without data connection is this google map a piece of crap?
wth does the gps function do?.... i tried the "DIRECTIONS" with only GPS active and its not working
anyone confirm without the INTERNET this map is a junk?
and what does the GPS exactly used for when we cannot use "DIRECTIONS mode"?

The program itself is not, the people who doesnt know how it works and scream like a mad dog is.......
Google map doesn't store map data on your phone, thus, occupies very little space on your WM. That's the way it's designed to operate. By comparison, Google Navigator keeps all viewed mapdata until one deletes it.
Hello guys, yesterday i used the maps and it said i need to turn my 3g on i usually have it off. And when i press navigate it said i need to enable gps and i did. So my question is doesnt gps run without 3g or internet on other phones? And also i wana know does it use data?
because google maps requires an internet connection...
I all depends on which application you use for navigation.
Short answer:
Check with the software instrucions / help files to see how it behaves and works.
Long answer:
Some map software's have all the map data you need for your region already packed with it.
Advantage: No data need to be downloaded within the region, fast, works offline.
Disadvantage: Tricky to update the maps and often charge you for additional regions. Takes up space on the device.
Other apps download maps on the go as you navigate.
Advantage: Always the latest maps as you navigate. Takes less space on the device. Disadvantage: slow or even non-functional with poor or no data connection.
Google maps and Google navigation are of the latter one. They downloads maps as you navigate. therefor it is a good idea to have a data-plan with your provider so no additional expenses comes to.
They are free to use, so if you already have a data-plan with your provider, it's practically free.
On the X10, there are one application included by Sony Ericsson on most X10 sold out there: Wisepilot.
Wisepilot are the kind where you buy maps and download them into your phone, once this is done, it will use little or none of your data-connection.
I'm not sure, but I think Wisepilot are the kind that can be used offline once maps are bought and downloaded.
It can use the data-connection to download additional information such as "speed limit cameras", "spots of interest" and so on.
Try Mapdroid
This app downloads the MAP files when internet is available and can be used offline also with GPS activated..... try this, this is da best app

hey, when you use google navigation, will you be able to use the voice guidance??? I am having troubles to use the voice guidance...not sure how to activate it....
Having to buy the maps and such for wisepilot.. I wish there was a better solution for GPS on the x10. I wouldn't mind using it, but not necessary.
You can use GPS without 3G. I can even get a lock with my phone in airport mode and inside a cement building. When I say cement I mean cement, the floor, walls, and ceiling are all cement (hurricane proof). It is the third (top) floor however.
GPS software on x10
Currently I installed Navigon, Ndrive, MotoNave and Copilot 8 on my x10i with various world maps and all fully functional without 3g or network connection, direct data from satellite in orbit with the phone inbuild GPS receiver. Why you may ask? Because I can. How you may ask? The answers is out there! I am giving you the knowledge , now go and find your answers.
X10 is an Awsome device.
Another solution is to use the Brut Google Maps mod. It allows you to view previously viewed maps from the SD card. It saves the Google maps cache to your SD, but the only downside is that you have to view all of the places you want to travel on at all zoom levels.
If anyone needs it, I have the majority of Menorca done at all zoom levels......
I tend to use google navigation, the best bit of this is when you have your route downloaded and the voice guidance starts, you can then switch off your 3g and it still routes you. Obviously if you take a wrong turn it won't be able to download a new route until you switch 3g back on, but hey

Wow really.. so I can use my phone's gps rather than my car's and I DON"T need 3g?? that's sweet..
Only too bad I don't know how to install any other GPS on my phone... I'm such a noob. Back to my magellans GPS .. ool
Anyone willing to go through the process with me ? haha

It automatically did it on mine. On google map, tap on Direction. When you enter direction it will ask you to activate GPS (if not already activated).

the google navigation works fine, just there is no voice guidance... It only has the "beep" sound when it is about to change in direction (like make left/right turn, stay in the lane, or heading out to the exit) So I am wondering how to make it with turn by turn with voice guidance turn on...

Try going to your phone Settings/Speech Synthesis/Install voice data...
If that doesn't work the I've no idea
Good luck!

I like em all but the one I find myself using the most is Copilot 8 and yes you are right, button presses are laggy on Motonav. I travel all over the world with my job so these GPA apps are very handy to have on a single device.
Best device for my needs. Great apps, awesome GPS, great camera, storage space (16GB), 3G & wifi and movies.

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.

OK, to do the trick, you have to follow a deeply hidden, top secret Samsung;s procedure, which I will reveal for you...

Use the SECOND link... it will be most appropriate for your level...

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.

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.
Hi. I want to change my default Navigation app to basically ANYTHING except Google Maps. Wanted either CoPilot, Here, or Waze. I have my search provider set to Bing even but when I click on any direction link, it takes me to Google Maps. I've gone into Apps and even disabled that and ensured other Nav apps are set to open always, but it still goes to Google and Then takes me to the Play Store so I can download/Enable Maps. Any way around this? Pretty crappy of Google to do this....
Go to settings/apps & notifications/default apps/opening links. Scroll down to Maps and click on it. Click on open supported links and select don't open in this app. Hopefully it will let you choose your other navigation app when you click on a link but I've never tried that. The reason Android wants to use Maps is because Maps is integrated with Google Play Services and your Google account and a third party app won't provide the same kind of integration because it would require giving a third party app elevated privileges that are not allowed without root.
Hi and thanks. I had already tried that unfortunately. It doesn't work. ANY link you click for directions on a web page, even if asked to open only gives the option of Edge and Maps. A calendar invite or something like that will ask and give a list of valid mapping applications like Waze, Here, etc. But links on a web page......only Maps.
Having Maps integrated with Google Play services is just another reason NOT to want to use it.

Thanks for the reply. Bummer. So Google locks you into their apps even if you search with Bing. Seems like Microsoft got in a lot of trouble with the government about 20 years ago over this sort of tactics.
