Hello,
I've rooted my Wildfire and as I'm not in US, I've uninstalled the original Maps app and replaced it with the hacked version of Maps 5.7 that has unlocked navigation (also so that I don't have 2 Maps apps on my phone). However, now all apps (including maps) cannot find the location using the network location mechanism, only if I turn on GPS, then the location can be found (I also need to be outside for the GPS to work, but that is normal). Using the location via the mobile network doesn't work at all. Is there a fix for this, or do I somehow need to reinstall the original maps? I use the stock HTC froyo ROM.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers...
I also use the hacked maps, but network based locations works well. Anyway i downgraded to a lower maps version because the fonts in newer versions are not very clear on my wildfire.

Google Maps to Device
Check out Orux Maps. It will allow you to select and download a google map to your phone for use with GPS when no cell signal is available. I've used it hiking with a google terrain mapo and it works great!
is the compass in google maps wrong in portrait for anyone else? its correct in landscape. its just off my 180 degrees when i rotate the phone.
As the tittle says which gps app are u using for ur hd2 running android? I've searched around but i couldn't decide which one will be ok for an hd2.
Also, google maps is 100% offline on android right? Is it any good to use?
I live in Greece so i need an app that has maps there.
thx in advance
I'm using Sygic Aura and it's just awesome. Much like TomTom for WM. You can get trial version from Market.
I am using CoPilot but not sure if it's available for Greece currently. It costs me $5 and you can download all the maps you need via WIFI (due to size) for free.
Google navi is ok but drains battery faster than CoPilot for instance.
Also, Google can work off data only if you cashed maps out already and they are stored in your phone.
thx for your replies guys
i just downloaded sygic aura from the market and the greek maps but i cant seem to find any satellites. Do i have to do something else before using the app (apart from turning the GPS on, duh ), something like QuickGPS in Winmo? How long does it take to find a satellite?
I'm using Sygic Aura with cotullas Rom no issues, i guess you might have a problem due to the gingerbread gps drop issue....
I'm using Navigon. Didn't like Sygic Aura too much...
Just my 2c...
I'm in Australia and was using CoPilot whch wasn't too bad but a bit laggy and took ages to get a satellite signal.
Swapped to a RAM build and as a matter of course thought i'd try out iGO 8.4 which seems to be much smoother, quicker to load and quicker to acquire a signal than CoPilot.
As a matter of interest I was using Navigon on my last phone (iPhone 3G) and it was the best of the lot but probably becuase it used Sensis maps (i think, or was that another GPS???). Either way, I remember Navigon being good and Sensis maps being good too.
They all seem to have free trial periods so why not give them all a go and see which works best for you? Or you can always go the APKTOR route ;-)
I use google maps and google navogation.
Used it driving from katy, tx to hollywood, fl about 20hrs drive. No issues whatsoever.

I can't search in the market, any suggestion for this issue?

Depending where are you from, it could be that Maps do not appear in the Market. I know, this is stupid, it is a free application on the market, but still it's not available on the market for some countries (mine included). What you can do is to grab MarketEnabler (from the Market), fake a different provider (I use some German one) and then search the Market again...you'll get Maps. After your post I've noticed that Maps are gone too so I have to do the same thing
P.S. Other way around is to flash latest gapps (Google Application package, they're on CyanogenMOD site and there are links here too)
I'm from Hong Kong, maps is originally available in stock rom market. After I flashed Rc4 ytd, it has gone then

There is thread exists about Navigation apps already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070484
I using NavDroid app (~$7).
uses OpenMap.
Not as good, as Google Map, but works completely offline.
Co-Pilot was crashing on me all the time.
Unfortunately all apps like glympse, runtastic, endomondo ...needs access to google maps that doesn´t work on my ROM. Therefore I am looking for an app like glympse that doesn´t need maps (like navigon does not need maps).
The same problem with tasker that I cannot install either.
Anybody an idea?
Try Waze, its a fantastic satnav app, that doesnt need maps. Linkable with foursquare and facebook (if you wish) and u can calculate the fastest way to ur destination by avoiding heavy traffic! (With help of other waze users)
Great navigator!
