Gps navigation for Cyprus!

hey guys I tried copilot 8 and I am going to install sygic this afternoon. but I doubt it will have Cyprus maps, does any of you guys know a program with Cyprus support ?

There is a company that makes Greece and Cyprus specific maps for sygic called creative image.
Don't ask me if they are good though, you' ll have to try them out for yourself.
google creative image greece and you ll find them.

I heard from a friend that there's this app called IGO that works in Cyprus. He used to use it on Windows Mobile but after a quick google search it looks like its available for Android too!
Please try it out and tell me how it is

yes I know it too but I haven't found it anywhere yet

ok problem solved I found that sygic has Cyprus mqps and actually the whole program is awesome. thanks for any help

I also use sygic for cyprus but its been 4-5 days that is not working... what about yours?

I installed sygic on android but it doesn't have any Cyprus maps.. Did you get the maps from somewhere else?
Thanks

iGo has maps for Cyprus, and it works well too.

i used to use iGO on my HD2, but now and after a desire, and a desire hd, i have a sensation. locations is the best GPS for android imo atm, but it has no cyprus maps, so i ve searched for another one. a friend who owns a desire uses sygic mobile maps 10. says he's satisfied but i ve witnessed it having signal issues and the maps aren't 100% up to date. so my question is, are you referring to iGO for android or windows ? if you 're referring to an android version, which one's that, and have you got the compatible for it cyprus map. i 'd be grateful if you could share it.

I used iGO in Poland and I must say that at least for me i t read lest accurate app. The best maps in my opinion has google maps, copilot and sygic aura/mobilemaps.
For now I use google maps

Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
Yes i was talking about the Android version. I have iGo 8 i think it is,with maps from 2010 so its fairly recent.
Check you pms later dude.

I`m using iGO 8.4.2.139242 with cyprus map, on HTC desire, works great.
Higly recommended.

Use Goggle Maps - it works everywhere =)

Yes it works everywhere when you have internet access everywhere. But this is Cyprus. 3G network is too expensive and you cannot find free wireless just anywhere. I have been searching for Cyprus GPS for my Motorola Atrix 4G and i couldn't find anything. Even for paid software! Any ideas guys??

Sygic aura is the best for Greece...test it a little bit in holiday!!!

Sygic is very good for greece indeed!

Does Greece map contain cyprus?

Yep. After a bit of meddling with languages maps and other files, I got it to work. For some reason though it's very slow at finding my location :/

Bing now has Voice Nav!

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!

http://pocketnow.com/software-1/bing-for-windows-mobile-now-has-real-navigation-features
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!!!!!

GARMIN XT and any not DATA plan dependent navigation is and will always be better than Bings, GoogleMaps, AndroidNavis, etc...

Never hurts to have a backup, and it does look very nice....
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.

For those who can't find the download link it's m.bing.com/download

Good Navigation App for 2.2?

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

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.

It does in some countries. I downloaded the latest version from US market (with MarketAccess), and I can add a Navigation shortcut, but I can't get spoken directions.

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?

Galaxy s GT-i9000 [europe] with Ndrive 11

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.

greetings! i have Ndrive 10, i can't find Ndrive 11 on android market...how does it work? can i upgrade using the same maps or i have to pay again? thanks!

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

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.

The trick is getting garmin maps work on android devices... I'll post full details tomorrow (no guarrantee though )
HTC location doesn't have highly detailed maps of all the countries...
Garmin has those, but it's not fully available on android
Offline navigation is a plus too! Garmin have that.
But i'm using another app to read the Garmin maps... As i said, i'll post all the details later...
Keep posting guys! I wanna see more people interested in this

Having offline interests me a lot! I use Google Navigation and Google Maps right now but takes awhile to boot and locate. Not having to use data, I'm hoping, will lead to faster performance. Plus, I'm sure this could be used in other devices as well? I'm looking at my WiFi-only tablet as a 10" GPS if this works out =)

It will work on every android device...
Performance will be a little slower on our dz (if you put details on max). But on faster devices, its really smooth
I think it would be awesome if this post got to android general forum
EDIT: i won't post the guide tomorrow, as i need a pc to make the guide (i have to check some things while writing the guide).
So maybe thursday afternoon, or friday.

why do you let them wait? app is called navitel. it's available on google play and can read gmapsupp.img from garmin. search it on google to know more.

you obviously don't have knowledge in those apps.
Navitel is the app that will be used for navigation. but navitel DOES NOT support .img maps. it does support .nm2 maps, and the key is to know how to convert those maps, and get rid of the errors...
