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.

Navigator Maps

I was recently trying to get my Navigator map application working correctly (when I load it up it just displays yellow..) I followed what someone else said about reinstalling. Although I misunderstood and uninstalled the UK map! Is there anyway to download a new UK map? If I download it from my Desire HD it'll cost me 400MB..

How about using WLAN?

Use wifi or if that is really impossible, ask someone to download it for you and put it on dropbox or anything like that

Why doesn't Google navigation work for you?

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.

You should be able to download Google Maps and Streetview for Google Maps from the Market. Navigation is part of Google Maps so you should get that as well by installing the other two.
If by some inauspicious cosmic alignment that doesn't work, flash the gapps package for cyanogenmod which should contain what you need (among other things).

HTC Hidi (HTC's voice app)

Hello,
Just want to share it with you guys, if you know or not but htc has also made a voice talk system like S-voice known as "HTC HIDI".
It's only available in the chinese version only right now and we might see it in the new 4.2.2 upgrade.
Here's a video of htc hidi (but in chinese):

Has anyone tried to grab it from a system update?
