Is there any free app Navigation for HD2 (everything stock).
If so which is best and how, where can I get it?
Did you tried to google ;-) ?
You want to drive and navigate? If not Google Maps would be enough good or MGMaps (it's for j2me - don't know does it work nice, never tested).
I've found also Nav4All..
Navigon, Sygic. Once you get the app installed, they will download the maps for you.

with turn by turn directions. thank you!!
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?
- google maps does not support voice
- 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.
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.

Anyone know if such a program exists and specifically for car navigation (unlike the offroad one currently on the market)? Kinda like Microsoft Streets & Trips but for Android. I am hoping to use my Xoom as a offline GPS since it is Wifi only model.
There are several. The cheapest is CoPilot. I have it as a backup for when I don't have data. The US only version is normally $4.99 (but I got it on sale for $2.99). I find it OK, but I prefer Google Maps Navigation.
Another is Navigon (it's quite a bit more expensive). A market seach should turn up some more.
Don't forget that Google Maps Navigation will cache the map and route for you . So you can start Navigating while you are in a WiFi hotspot and it will cache all of the maps to finish your navigation. Of course, if you get too far off route then you will have a problem.

Yeah that's kinda what I'm worried about. I need this to be a 100% offline app with full stored maps. Also obviously to be compatible with the Xoom.
which phone do you have, you could enable your wifi hotspot using your 3G network. (I do it on my desire Z/G2)

I have a Blackberry and has no option for Wifi or Bluetooth tethering. I can only do Dial-Up Networking but android doesn't support it as a client.
Have you tried Aura Sygic? if it works on XOOM and Honeycomb?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sygic.aura&feature=search_result
And you can find it for free on a site for Pirates.

I used Sygic back when I had a WinMo. Was a good app. I'll check this out.
Found several apps:
Aura GPS Navigation
MobileNavigator USA
Locus Free
CoPilot Live USA
NavDroyd
Anyone try any of these and know which works with the Xoom?
Is there an GPS app on market place which i can use on my tab 10.1? My goal is to use to GPS and maps without internet. Please reply ONLY if you you have tested and downloaded the app. Thanks in advance
Gaia works fine. I got it free back when Amazon Appstore actually gave away good apps at its inception.
You can also use the included Google Nav app offline.
Sygic Aura works, there's a trial version available. http://is.gd/hgnjv0
You can download maps and then use Google Maps offline, but you can't use any of the navigation features without a network connection (apart from seeing where you are on the pre-downloaded map).

Ah, thank you letting me know I'm not the only one who has noticed the quality of Amazon's free apps has gone doooooooooooown. Not that they owe anybody anything, but the free apps always suck now.
I am using Navigon for offline navigation that also has a map feature. costs somewhat though.
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!
