Dear members:
I have Ndrive 11[gps software] in my galaxy s ,if you have any questions about it please feel free to ask away.
pros:
new interface, simplified
super fast gps lock ,less than 5 seconds!
Weather forecast
new share feature for facebook ,favorites,my location, etc
support for foursqare.
google places search within app.
cons:
The above features in blue text crash the app when trying to log in,not a deal breaker but never the less i would like it to work.
But compared to the versions that i have in windows mobile devices it is miles better.

I got it from the market after trying a test version ,and yes new maps, and you have to pay for it again.
Ok, thanks, maybe it'not still available in Italy...anyway, i really don't like this policy, it's not fair toward customers, I'm the only one?

it is available to Italy, just use the Ndrive word in the market not ndrive 11,
a list of contries\regions will come up.
about the facebook problem etc....
Ndrive support just told me that a fix will be out inthe coming days.
lucky for me a use ndrive 10 in other device, but it should be an upgrade option, i must stress that when i bougth the app it was not listed on ndrive website yet.
how do u like ndrive? im thinking of trying it
i see, this time main program is given together with maps...again they should give an upgrade option with a discount to whom already bought Ndrive 10 (in my case i bought all europe maps). i will not give my money for ndrive 11 to pay again for ndrive 12 and so on wtf. thanks for your answers OP.

To be honest the reason i got it is that Ndrive is the only gps software for android that offer the most features at the moment plus it is the only one that has maps for the island i come from, Madeira.
personaly a love Igo8 but so far is only available for windows mobile.
I also trying Aura sygic, now this software is allot more polished than ndrive but it does not have the google feature that i love in ndrive.
Sorry ... but IGo MyWay is available for Android. Try a search for "iGOMyWay v8.4.2.139242 for Android"
I've using NDrive (10) on my SE Xperia X10i since last summer.
I find the gui a bit clumsy, but still I think it's ok.
I agree with regards to their upgrade policy!
I received the following answer today:
Dear Costumer,
Thank you for contacting NDrive Support.
While acquiring a NDrive product, the customer acknowledges that is acquiring a life-time licence for the product as it is presented in the date of purchase. The licence is only valid to a unique device (non-transmissible) and any map update or software upgrade may have costs associated to it.
We will soon have available a free V11 upgrade (software only), which will be available through Android Market. When it is available, you will be notified on your device.
Cumprimentos / Best Regards
NDrive Support

To be honest, I think this sucks! I was NOT under the impression that this was the case. In fact, since I'm quite certain I won't be using the same smartphone in a year, this is completely absurd!
What do you others think?!

That is a ridiculous policy and I'm not sure it is legal. When you buy software independent of hardware you should then have the right run it on whatever device you want. You should be allowed to reactivate the software when you get a new phone. I would never buy Ndrive if that is the way they operate.
I've tried Aura, Mobile Maps and Ndrive but the one i prefer is Copilot live, it just seems more stable than the rest.
Good, I'd like to know how to use the Ndrive folder on the SD, since many use maps, maps have 6GB of internal memory to occupy! Does elguem can help me!?
greetings
Directory bind app, somewhere here in the xda will solve your problem.

NDrive 11?
Not for me thanks! Too many adverse comments posted here and in Play store. In the absence of TomTom it has to be CoPilot Live for Android.
smooooooth
is it smooth?

Nice job... Telenav
Enjoy...
Sorry, before I execute this CAB,,,, what is it? Like a TomTom GPS thing??
Telenav is a Navigation tool. Unlike TomTom, it uses maps stored online, that are up-to-date and updated frequently. They use NavTek if you wonder. Check the details here: http://www.telenav.com/products/tn/
I use it on other devices and love it also on my Advantage.

How does it compare to Google Maps? (EDIT: Never mind, just looked at web site, and it looks awesome!)
What carrier do you have, what device do you claim to have? THansk!
Pay by the month for use? No thanks I will stay with Igo that way I will not incur any data charges plus monthly usage.
I think I'll stick to CoPilot 7

I run on many different providers ranging from T-Mobile, Telefonica and others. I have an HTC branded Athena (Advantage/X7500). Runs fine, as long as you create an account with them. I don't mind the premium since the maps are precise, up-to-date.
Review of TeleNav
OK, downloaded, put in my credit card (have until 8/11 to cancel) and... WOW!
Pros:
Very nice feature set. Best implementation of searches for points of interest that I have seen; makes GoogleMaps look downright clunky! One of my favorites was search for lowest gas prices. Can also search for restaurants by type, just by clicking. And the results seemed very accurate. Really, really cool. And the fact that it is live means that you don't have to wait a year for updates.
Haven't tested the voice recognition yet, but a neat idea.
Nice big buttons. Hi-res maps. Attractive.
It is surprisingly responsive, even when on EDGE. Although I haven't tried an interstate at 80mph yet. This is a keeper... NEARLY.
Cons:
My biggest concern is the routing seems a little "creative". I did routes to about 10 locations near and far, and I would say it is comparable to Mapquest 2001. In one case, it inexplicably routed me through a subdivision rather than the direct route. Then I remembered... Mapquest used to give me that same stupid detour! In another, a 8-9 mile trip routed out at 23 miles! Maybe it's just the area I live in, but I'm not sure I'd want to rely on it if I really needed to get somewhere in a hurry.
The only other gripe is that while the user interface is pretty, sometimes the menus are confusing. I would hit the Menu button and get a set of options that weren't at all what I expected.
Also, with MvRTrueVGA, there is a gap between the bottom of the app window and the bottom of the display where a little bit of the app below peeks through. OK, this is a hack, so I can't be too harsh about that. But wouldn't it be great...
Summary
Bottom line, this has the potential to be THE killer GPS app. It's not there yet, but I'm betting this will get better in the next while. I definitely plan to keep playing with it at least until August 11, in conjunction with GoogleMaps and/or iNav as a second opinion. I'd be interested about experiences others have had, particularly with routing.
WGARY,
Have you tried traffic function with it? If traffic info is really up to date and integrated to routing. $10 may be ok for up-to-date map and real time traffic.

Traffic really isn't an issue where I live. My only real beef is the routing. Otherwise, I would gladly give the $10/month... might anyway!
I've been wondering when someone would come out with something like this, but for me it's monthly fee is a deal breaker (or needing a data plan for that matter) because I almost never need/use GPS, so I don't want to pay $$ per month to use it once in a while...
Still I wish them luck and am glad to see them improving GPS.

CoPilot Live 7 will blow you away - it is a vast improvement over 6.
When is 7 going to be made available? Do you know yet?
Beware of this product for the time being if you are UK based - it doesn't work, the program installs fine from the link but it is not possible to activate it. They have said six weeks (ish) before rolling out PDA compatability for Europe - for the time being its Blackberry devices only - Mike

:-S You got me curious now....
I love the fact that when I'm on the road for a long period, people (family, friends, customers) can track me and get an ETA on when I arrive, since I put my routes in CopilotLive. Maps are rough on edges, POI are not as rich as many features. I love TeleNav and consider TeleNav Track for the bidirectional functionality. Will see when they realease for the Athena. It's the really the best navigation PDA around in my eyes. By that time, I hope Alk will release Copilot Live 7. Can you send a screenshot? PM me if needed, I wonder how you got your hands on it and when it's due for.
Cheers.
Hey how did you guys get telenav to find the gps on the x7500? It keeps telling me that it cannot find it and to seek a clear sky position.
Thx
i didn't not notice it requried data plan before installation.
now, how can i uninstall it? TeleSav is not shown in the 'remove program' list. :-(
BTW, i still love my tomtom application.
UK friendly GPS software.

I have tried another one, webraska. I find not as nice as Telenav, but very close. excellent coverage in UK, Whales, and France. On my last trip I used it and found it just as useful as Telenav. Check it out... Webraska. For my friends on the other other side of the pond.
Anyone happen to know if this version works on other PPCs? Telenav hasn't updated their other Windows Mobile versions in years.
I already posted this in the Tmobile US HD2 section but just in case you're not looking there... Bing has added Voice Nav with turn by turn directions!

It appears to work really well for folks in the US... other countries ymmv for now. This is a great FREE app for Windows Mobile! Now I don't have to buy CoPilot Live!!!!!
Yes yes yes!!!!
thanks this is great

Its about time thougt that MS sorted our this US only BS, you cant compete if you dont actually have a working product.
sadly still only support for US, UK, Italy, France Still I use GMaps when travelling, it's just easier to handly then iGo and it has phone numbers etc. matching your destination.

The UK version is probably the worst app you can get for the HD2. This new US version looks a lot better and works to a certain degree in the UK but navigation doesn't work outside US and the voice search is next to useless as I don't say say "have a nice day y'all" on the end of each search (needs an American accent probably)

Lol! Hopefully MS will continue to make improvements and add regions to the app... I'm very, very impressed with the new version and the voice input works very well for me... (I don't end my sentences with "have a nice day y'all" either , maybe the version you downloaded was corrupted, hehe).
have a nice day y'all!

I agree, but... A) this is free! B) I already own a GPS but no longer have to carry an additional piece of consumer electronics along with me. C) I have the (unlimited) data plan anyway so no downside for me in using it...
ymmv of course.

Is there a good, working, navigation app out there for 2.2 yet?

I would like to know this as well... Copilot are apparently working on an update, Sygic Mobile Maps 10 hasn't got back to me yet (currently runs but with soooooooo much lag)... and Navigon is reported to kind of work, but looses gps alot?
So far my best option is Google Navigator... it does a bloody good job... only problem is the phone gets very hot - 45c yesterday on a 40 minute drive but I think this is what happens with most apps!?

Just downloaded... looks good so far... I will give this a spin, thanks
NDrive any good?
It's sad that Sygic has lag in 2.2, I wonder if it will be the same when the official release comes out...
I downloaded the Ndrive 7 day trial and its not bad, I like the horizon panning, although the UI is a little more cluttered than Sygic. I'm tempted to buy it at 43 Euro's ($63.28 AU) but the other half of my mind says wait until the official Froyo is release and maybe Sygic will be back to normal. There are rumours that google has OTA'd an update for Froyo to it's employee's :

Nothing!!! thats been 6 days now and no reply
Ndrive seems to work well... I just don't like the announcements... they seem to tell you your next turn around 1/2 mile away from the junction, which is stupid! Personally I'm not buying it and will keep holding out for copilot which I found to be perfect
Is there a comparison chart ? I'M NOT sure wich navigationsoftware is the best and I want the best
Sent from my HTC Desire
I ended up buying Ndrive cause of urgency as it seemed the only option atm. I found this http://gpsreviewer.wordpress.com/2009/07/16/second-and-lastsemifinal-ndrive-vs-sygic-drive/ but a copilot comparison is missing. One the same blog there are a few other comparisons, I'm not sure how relevant they are to android specifically froyo. I also found http://iphonetunes.net/index.php/full_article/comments/routes_compared_-_copilot_vs_navigon_vs_igo_vs_sygic_vs_tomtom/ which compares routing for a few apps, but is for the iphone. Functionality differs slightly between devices, and I would call either comparisons scientific studies, rather reasonable guides.

Yes it works and its really good... especially as its free!
not in many eu countries.
brut maps navigation works in Australia though last I checked, there was a slight lag. As well as that, I don't like the dark background of the navigation app.
Any news about IGO Android for hi res devices (like the Desire)?
does Google Navigation work in Belgium and mainland Europe? And does the phone really gets very hot using Google Nav when driving for example on a 3 hours journey?

I'm looking for an offline navigator for the US (and Central America, if one exists). I don't have data access most of the time, so I need to store maps on my phone. All opinions will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Copilot's pretty good. They do North America, but I don't think they do Central America.
I used that for nearly a year on Winmo, since it came as a trial on the HD2, but have switched to Navigator since using Android (obviously no good to you as it uses data).

Yes, I too used Copilot on my WinMo phone. Liked it, but was hoping to find something a bit more US-centric (newer maps).
I had read that Google was going to release an offline version of their software. It seems, IMHO, that Navigator is superior to Copilot. Have you seen anything about a new version?
Thanks for your response.

The next version of Google maps will still need a data connection to download the map data initially, but will not require one after that. I have to say, Google have been working pretty hard recently to give us some good updates, but the maps app is the one I'm looking forward to the most!

Just got an email from CoPilot that they have updated their maps as X-Mas gift. No idea how thoroughly they have been updated, but you might want to check it out. I have CoPilot installed as backup app for when abroad or without signal, and I like it.
I bought a vzw tab with bad esn, (not interested in data package anyways)
I want to know if Copilot is a really good navigation app. I read the market reviews and more bad then good. Problems with google checkout#/buggy/crashes.
Is this my best choice or is there anything better?
Feel free to give your thoughts on other apps

Copilot
Copilot is OK.
I've been using it for over a year now and have it on 3 devices. It works good for me and never had any real problems. I also have nDrive on one device and Google Maps/Navigation on all but use Copilot as my default nav app.
You can try it free for a limited period so my advice.... give it a try.
I had no problems with Copilot crashing, but the maps were really out of date. I gave up on it and went to Navigon when it attempted to route me through a fence across a railroad crossing that had been closed for years.
