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

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.

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!)

You're right and it doesn't.
Why? Cant you just input the address?
I was using TomTom for years, and now Sygic on Android ... I have never used postcode and have no problem with navigation.

I'm running Locations on HTC Desire HD with Android 2.3.3 and it works fine with post codes. is there another HTC navigation that you guys are talking about?
I've not been able to download maps or voices this past couple of days. I guess it could be related to HTC sense being down all the f*%king time!

Hi
Does anyone got Google Maps update to 5.x on Legend. Just wonder if I'm restricted to version 4 due to region or HTC rom...
N.B. I don't see Google maps at the Market so can't update manually.
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
It's the country you live in, not the device. I live in Bulgaria and Maps updates are not available to me for download from the Market. Yet, when I put a UK sim card in the same device, it works just fine and I have downloaded the latest 5.something update.
I suspected that... and you know why frustrated? Users of latest devices (e.g. Desire S) got it - same country and operator, so it seems like somebody just doesn't care to enable it... for Legend

Download MarketEnabler and it will trick the market into thinking you have an American sim card.

But first you need to have root
I think he can use temproot(VISIONary r13) + MarketEnabler.
Until recently here in Croatia we were stuck with v4.5 which forced me to install v5.1 for a downloaded .apk Imagine my surprise when the 5.5 update went live for download on the market
Google maps with Navigation.

I just received an invite 4 Google Music Beta. I live in India. I was able to do the download in my PC. But I'm not able to get it installed and linked to my Google account in android.
The problem is
1) the region I'm in is outside US ie India.
2) Market Enabler doesn't work for my handset bcoz its not rooted. Is there any Enabler for non rooted devices.
3) I installed the Google music.apk from a site but was not able to link the Google music to my account. How can I do that.
Please help!

I guess the only way is purchasing USA's SIM-card(prepaid for example), moving to America, or rooting phone. I tried also sign up to music beta, but because I life in Finland, I can't get it...

Conversley just follow the instructions here which should work just fine, but Google music is flawed in that it doesn't support OGG so I have uploaded my entire .mp3 collection of 25 tracks!
Ghostofcain, I guess that link is for rooted user. Do u know a way to get it installed for non rooted devices.

You can use hidemyass.com proxy and send urself a invite from Google music website. I can't send as an individual as Google are the ones sending it.

I don't have an unrooted device to test on but I would be surprised if the googlemusic.apk provided doesn't install as per the official one, and the rest involves using vpn's which I did from my pc not the phone

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).
