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.

I remember at the launch party in London, they mentioned that you could preload maps, which you could then use in case you're in an area where you have no internet access.
They also mentioned that the maps would be free for download.
Does anyone have anymore information on this or how we can download the maps?
I'm sure this is in the user manual...
Open locations, then go menu > upgrade > download maps

Does the upgrade to Premium also enable the Navigation button in the Car Panel. Mine is greyed out.
Yes, turn by turn nav is chargeable. Anyone seen the news that tomtom maps are coming to the dhd and desire z? Interesting!

I hope you are right Dazultra
The map data is from tomtom who own teleatlas maps. It does not imply the tomtom application is coming to the hd.

Actually the current maps are route66. I didn't say the tomtom app was coming, just that other maps by tomtom are. Was on engadget.

How many maps can we download??
I've read that we are entitle to 3 free maps, is this right?? And that those 3 maps are all taken account your location, 1 is the map from where you are and the other 2 are from two countries near your country. Is this right? if Yes, does it matter where I bought the phone or not?!? If I buy a phone from England I would get a map from England and two other countries near England or do I get a map from Portugal (my location) and two other from countries near Portugal?!=!
Please, someone answer me, cause I really need to decide where I'm going to buy the phone...

I'm in the UK, and the phone came preloaded with UK, Ireland and France maps. I believe you can download any other maps for free, its just the turn-by-turn navigation you pay for.
I'm going back to New Zealand for Xmas and have already downloaded the maps for there.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
How much do we pay for the turn-by-turn navigation?
Is it subscription based? Any time limit like X euro for Y days?
Is the turn-by-turn "intelligent" provided by TomTom or HTC Locations?
Yes it is subscription based and the prices vary a lot. You can do it per month, per year, or for life. Traffic and cameras are separate and again, per month or year.
What do you mean by intelligent?

charging for navigation?
what a step backwards...
i swear htc dont want people to buy this phone.
such a shame because i REALLY wanted to get this phone. it seems so good.

You can still use Google Maps or any other mapping app out there. I'm not sure how it's really a step backwards, at least the options there.
The locations app is very nice, but its missing postcode lookup.
Which is really weird for a paid navigation system.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Is there any price list somewhere? I am interested in the "for life" price for WESTERN EUROPE.
At least: Benelux + Germany + France
What I meant with "intelligent" is the navigation app ... the logic behind the turn-by-turn routing. Is it provided by TomTom or HTC?
I meant, if TomTom "only" provide the maps ... that could mean the navigation app is created by HTC.

Western Europe for life is 50 dollars US.
I don't know who does the intelligence. I think the current maps are provided by route 66, and tomtom will be providing alternatives (for a healthy profit I assume!)

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.

It will do this until it locks in your actual location.
Do you have location set for network or GPS? It should find your relative location quicker with the network, but it is of course much more accurate with the GPS. If you have neither on....
If it is set at GPS, and you have not been using it much (or first time), it takes a while for the GPS to lock in your signals and location.
There is a good app called GPS Status which has built in AGPS updater - that one locks in pretty quick.

Thanks for the app. Works for me, but I have to keep it installed for SpeedTest to know I'm in Dallas so that's a little boo.
Please post questions in this section.
Same here. I'm in Seattle and my speedtest.net app reports me in Denver. Turns out, speedtest does not use GPS to locate your position. They use your IP address, which for me is a Denver, CO Tmo IP.
So how do you fix this? Don't have a clue. I called Tmo and their "Android Specialist" to me to reset the phone... seriously
They told me to do a reset which is bs whats that gonna fix? Then she told me that she found a forum on google stating there having server issues in the pac northwest. I cant find this forum

Hi,
does anybody know how turn on 3D mode on a Google Maps app (if its possible ofcourse)?
I've been checking settings but did not see any option option which would allow me to turn 3D mode on.

Nothing to turn on, it's automatic.
The problem is it only works in specific locations and when you're zoomed close enough.
To test it, go to 5th avenue, New York, USA. zoom close and then you'll see the 3D buildings. use 2 fingers to slide from top to bottom to change perspective.
BTW, for real 3D, use Google Earth.
Closest thing I can get is by swiping two fingers down which allows you to swivel maps and view in faux3d

I have the same problem. I do not see the 3D buildings. Google has screwed the last update.
Works perfectly on my TF with latest maps. Nothing screwed up.

No clue, just know that I have the latest version and it works. Zoomed into NYC this morning and had 3D buildings, 2 finger swiped down and everything worked as it always has for me.
hello all google maps do hav a 3d grid but to acess it u hav to goto a major city like new york in order for u to see it or philadelphia
Where can I find the developer's email address?

Uh, for Google maps? It's Google. They have forums for their products if you want to give some feedback or ask questions. Sorry, I'm a bit to lazy to Google it for you heh.
They have various parts of LA county in 3D. You need to tilt the map and zoom in for it to show.
Nobody has mentioned the obvious yet, that you have to select 3d mode from the layers menu It is not enabled by default.
I have no option for 3d mode. it always worked without selecting anything. I just needed to be in a city with 3d maps.

Yeh in the middle of NY. Did the whole two finger swipey down thing as well but just put it at an angle, no cool 3d maps like on the xoom ad. No 3D option is layers either. As I said it doesn't affect me but just confirming that I have the issue also.
