I have HTC Legend and I installed Maps 4.6 on it. I'd like to use google navigation but i don't know if i need to install it or it is included in maps....
Once installed the application, it downloads the maps as needed, using any kind of internet connection, you don't have to worry about the maps, just be sure you are connected someway.
As far as I know, navigation is not available everywhere, and Google is offering it in just some countries, if this is your case, you can search the forum for "brut mod", that is a modification of the Google nav application so can be use everywhere. It also caches the maps in the device so you use less of your internet allowance.
Hope I was useful.
Cheers
nevermind >.<

Google maps (but you'll pay your phone bills crying). You wont find any free apps with offline maps because GIS is biiiiggg work and wants to get paid. I love Garmin XT, Oziexplorer with own maps for offroading/hiking
any other options?

- im sure i read someware that the map can be cached and downloaded offline. anybody can help?
AmazeGPS is an alternative.
They have some issues with the current version but a new build is out this sunday according to their forums.

So yea...no go for Canada
It is not limited to the US anymore, UK and Ireland now have it. Doesn't help for the original poster, but anyone else who stumbles across this may be interested.
There is a 'hack' that you can use that does not require root...

Bruted Google Maps Navigation is working perfectly on Xperia X10.

google navigation works fine for my rogers x10
go to google maps, search for a destination, click the little popup bubble on the destination for information on that destination. click the second icon from the left on the top and a menu will pop up saying get directions or navigate. click navigate and google navigation starts

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.

Car Menu and Google Maps Navigation. When you are out and about, Galaxy S makes finding your way around fun, easy and efficient. In the car, put Galaxy S into its mount, and weather, view map, voice search and navigation icons are instantly displayed. The Google Maps Navigation application allows you to find your destination easily and quickly even through the most complex streets. As you make your way, Galaxy’s internet-connected navigation with voice command and preinstalled Google Maps, provides three different views. Real street view, traffic view and satellite view.

Am I the only person who gets "Navigation is not available in your area" when I load the navigation app? Samsung are selling the phone with navigation as a feature, one I intended to use which is disabled because?
I was under the impression that Google Navigation was only available in the US as of right now.

I'm pretty sure they opened it up recently to the UK a short while ago, but so far I think thats it
I had the same issue, had to instal brut google maps to have working navigation. I knew google maps navigation wasn't available here, but it was kind of among to have a non working app pre installed ob a phone that is sold locally.

Its works in Canada.. Google Navigation has been working in Canada for about a year now.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
There's no google Nav in aus yet as mentioned. Brut[maps] works, but be aware there are still some small subtle oddities (which don't really affect it's use), such as going the wrong way around on roundabouts (So if it says second exit, that might mean second exit counterclockwise, NOT the correct way).
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.

If you're rooted there might be a tasker profile that does what you want but it doesn't seem to be possible without root.

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.
