GPS is free. but you have to pay if you want to use, for instance, google maps, because it needs a data connection. so basically, it IS free, but unless you have a (paid) internet connection, it's useless.
One exception: if you got a navigation software with offline maps, you don't need internet and money. but such apps are -really- expensive ;P
I may not advice you but google a full version for free. I am using sygic mobile maps. Try :-D
iGo MyWay 8.4.2+latest maps .do not need connection.
yep GPS is free... i use Maverick and have save google maps titles in it of my city so i could use it for free and anywhere with gps locating my position...
and use sygic for navigation purpose its also a offline app..

Hi, You have mybe a link to download this app? How much is it?
Thanks
maverick is a very cool app, buyware, but its worth
google maps saving in maverick:
be aware of updateing to version 1.95 -> google is deleted!
-> stay at 1.94
Use additonal the older mobac 1.9beta 6 and you can save a lot of maps.
maverick is less a navigation more than a tracking.
You can navigate, by checkinging the maps manually. Its not as comfortable like a real navi.

I have been using GPS software for more than a year now, and never found a good software that was for free. Google maps is ok, but if you want a good one, then you have spend some $$. If you happen to come across any good free ones, let me know as well.
The paid software I use now is Odyssey Maps 4.0. Used to use DeLorme, but didnt like it as much as Odyssey.
Also windows live search new version has maps in it too like google...
I am looking for a program (hopefully free) what it does.... well it takes your current gps location and gives you the weather for it. local news would be cool too but i know thats asking a bit much. let me know thx

popdog54 beat me to it.
Ask and yee shale receive. Microsoft has added more free features to the free live search. Current location weather is nice.
hi to all
i wanted to ask, if it is possible to use google maps without the internet on my diamond....
for example : is there any way to load the map of germany on my phone so i can use it without paying for internet
thanks for responses
try smart2go; similar and you can store maps...
can somebody explain me how i get that on my diamond?
i guess it´s for nokia...
new bie question
I am confused. I would like to know whether we can install the google maps on diamond? can we use it just to find our way without connecting to GPS and so on.
I am sorry I don't have so much knowledge.
thanks for your kind reply.
greetings!
sony
I use TrekBuddy for the same purpose. It works nice on the Diamond.
search for smart2go wm6
I use GoogleMaps in Colorado, and it does work with and without GPS. Here in the US, GoogleMaps will use cell towers to triangulate where you are (been off as much as a half mile before), but it is better than nothing if you have no data plan.
no, it is not possible. you need internet to download maps on the fly. gm does have limited memory where you can browse a map (via internet) and it remembers a few frames for when you arent connected

That's called AGPS. Without using GPS and internet connection, the device finds your location. Iphone uses AGPS. I have no idea whether GoogleMap on diamond uses AGPS or not. But it's really annoying that when using GoogleMap without turning data connection on, GoogleMap keeps on popping that it needs some sort of data connection and I need to cancel it constantly.
Guys, anyway to get around this?

I just started working on GL Maps this past week. It caches maps for 48 hours.
It's still very early beta though, so it probably won't fit what you need for a while.
Hi everyone,
I am from Greece and I am interesting in a program that will be able to download the whole Greek map of Google Maps in my HTC from home.
So, when I go to a mountain that I don't have Internet access I will be able to track my position.
Do you know any program that can do that?
Do you know if I can do something similar using a GPS software?
Thank you
It's way better to use a programm like GPS Tuner with the right map then using Google Maps for that!
Just my 2 Cents
Thank you for your reply animelover.
Do I have to make the maps in GPS Tuner or can I find them?
search for google navigator !

If there's an exsisting Map for the wanted region, why not? But you can also make your own maps by scanning a map of trails!
If you know to use Google, you can search for an app that can make huge GPS-ready maps using Google Earth on your desktop!
I am having trouble finding a good working turn by turn gps navigation app (such as tom tom) which also works on the HD2....
any help/ advice ?
Thanks in advance...
TomTom works fine on HD2.
Navigon MN7, Copilot.
what versions ? and what are your radio/rom/ wm version info's, please ?
iGO, Garmin XT...
Tomtom works fine for me too...
*edit* ttn 7.917 at the moment, probably change that to 7.918 once I get the inclination to transfer the files... Radio in my sig...
Igo works fine for me. Sometimes you need to set the GPS device port to 4 before it will pick up the internal GPS hardware.
I use this. It is fantastic.

I've got Navigon MN7 and GF is trialling Copilot8, routing is similar but we both like the MN7 interface better.
Copilot also waits until just after you turn left/right before telling you to "turn left/right shortly" which is a bit confusing.
Copilot is good VFM tho'
are there any free equivalents ?
im trying to find a cracked version of a gps program to run on my hd2. for some reason i never got a copy of it on my hd2, but i suppose its because i got it unsubsidized from asia. anywho, a free equivalent would be nice.
I use and love Waze

Warez is not permitted on XDA in any shape or form, whether requesting or providing
Consider this first and last warning!!!!
Any further requests or users providing warez will be banned for an undisclosed period of time
AFAIK there is no free turn-by-turn navigation for WM.

If you do a search on this site you will find a link to the TomTom v916 program for the HD2. The program is free, but you have to buy the maps.
You could always go to the ROM section and flash an official HTC ROM, as this comes with co-pilot. I have no idea how much the maps cost or it is a subscription as I don't use it.

There used to be one, GPS4All, until Nokia screwed them over with map licencing.

Co-Pilot ranges from £26.99 to under £100, dependant on the number of maps you buy.
daanng the maps cost money hahaha. i'll look into it. the programs eat up battery life rather easily too right?

Maybe if we're lucky, Google will port their turn by turn from Android. I wouldn't count on it though.

Yes, anything that involves GPS + leaving your screen on for an extended period of time will use the battery fast. Get a car charger...
