Hi,
I currently have a HTC HD...and run TOMTOM navigation.
I am thinking of a Android phone, and was just wondering what apps there are for navigation? (Apart from google maps)
Do you think this change to Android is worth it?
Thanks for your opinions

I use navigon which was £30 for the UK maps and seems very good. The desire also has Google navigation built in which seems good but uses your data connection.
Hope this helps

that would be co-pilot ? I use it too
I've only had experience with Google Navigation. It is pretty user friendly and gets you from A to B. Can't ask for much more.
As point out by lindsaydr, it does use a lot of data. As long as you have a data plan, you should be fine. If not, you should use Wifi to get the driving directions, then use it.
take a look at Sygic and Copilot!
Copilpot and navigon are both good and I have used both on iPhone and Android. I personally prefer navigon as it seems a slick interface

check copilot live?
copilot live8 or Navigon are both good offline programs...
The best is Ndrive!
Hi, I use Google Maps and Sygic. The best for Android

Have to disagree
Co-pilot is far better, have used both
Co-pilot maps are more up to date as N-drive uses the same maps as tom tom.
I used to use my tomtom when i travel to spain but now i use co-pilot because of the newer maps.
i also would agree with co pilot live, as it cost me about £23 on winmo, and then i just used the key when i get android, and it still works! Value for money there! Unlike tomtom on winmo, i really did prefer copilot.
Since having it on android i even subscribed to the premiu, features, but there isnt any need you get all the speed cameras for free anyway! just make sure you switch them on..
If i dont have the car, and i am walking around london city i will used google maps with the navigation option for walking.
depends what the specifics are havent used N-drive and i dont have a need to now.
Check Navdroyd, it uses Open Street Map as the map source. Works really well.

welll i had an HD2 before and was using Garmin XT kinda got spoiled by the british voice if anyone can change that, that will be great
In the voice settings you can set all TTS stuff on the phone to UK English (British Accent).
Or you can pay to get I think its called vox tts something like that it has tons of pretty good voices however they all cost money.

Get Co-Pilot, best money ever spent. The map data gets stored on your SD card 1.1GB for North America. The best part is not it does not use wireless data to get maps. It has all the fancy voice options you want.... 4 in british i believe (I use one myself ;-))
I thought the Desire Z with sense downloads the Google maps to the SD like a pre-fetch. Is there something like that for the G2?
I use waze. I like the idea of community generated real time traffic notification - but I suppose the user experience varies depending on your location. Here (Israel) it's quite popular.

Navigon is a new one on the market thats supposed to be good. I haven't tried it personally although I am considering it. Its on sale for $40 for a limited time as an intro price before it kicks up to $60 or something. Has live traffic and a "reality view" which looks kinda like layar.
Anyone actually tried it yet?

looks promising man
The problem with Google and Waze and some of the other "free" options are that they all require a data connection. Unfortunately, when I need GPS the most is in places where cell phone signals are weak/non-existent... I used TomTom for ever on WM.

Go here and you will find your answer.
Also, consider searching the forum in the future
I've used NDrive a lot. A bit chunky to work with but It'll do the job.
What GSP program do you recommend for the SGT?
I plan to have a good stand alone GPS program that I can use on the road without the need for internet connection.
I believe that the google maps/navigation system requires that you need internet connection.
I like Google maps. I generally use the 3g to load the map and turn off data afterwards it works fine for me. If you search YouTube others have gotten this method to work quite far. The furthest I have tried it is about 100 miles.

Copilot is very good and probably the best value for money.

Please search the apps and themes thread.

Without a doubt the absolute BEST is CoPilot.
I'm in agreement that copilot is the best offline alternative GPS solution.

Not sure if its been said here before but I think CoPilot is the best bang for your buck.
Just USA costs under $10!
I KNOW IT WAS SAID BEFORE. IT IS A GOOD STANDALONE GPS APP thOUGH =P
Co-Pilot on the road, Viewranger or BackCountry Navigator off the road.

Hmm....I never gave a thought to off road GPS. Thank you. Will try them out.
+1 on copilot, a bit more expensive here in europe, but i have to say that it works really well, gave my tomtom to my wife and now using the tab with the carmount for gps.
Hi all,
i have the seicane h221l PX30 , and after switching to a custom rom everything works way better than the OEM firmware, however,
i use google maps for navigation, but that is the only app that is very sluggish. i think it needs more resources then there are available,
so my question, do you guys know a good navigation ( may be online / internet connection needed) that is faster then google maps navigation , and preferably free ?
