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.

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?

Copilot. Worth it for offline navigation?

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.

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

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?

Prem nav

Anyone recommend premium navigation for the trusty hd
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App

You do realize that you could write the complete title, as in, Premium Navigation.
There are people using the SEARCH of the forum, and with titles such as that, it defeats the entire purpose.
Anyhow, you're refering to programs like Navigon/nDrive/Sygic ?

Yep

hate People who use SMS on forums....
I hate people who make a thread with 8 words inside... and no meaning

I wouldn't really reccomend it. The DHD Can't really get a reliable GPS Signal without having mobile data on (Or at least in Sydney, Australia), and with mobile data, HTC Locations + Google Navigation is good enough, and free.
I actually prefer google navigation to the premium navigation feature on the Desire HD.

Google navigation is the bees knees i tell ya! Works perfectly for me. Why would anyone need an upgrade to it?

To be honest I would check your gps antenna.
If I go to France I do not have any data because of the roaming charges.
Yes it takes longer to get a fix, up to a minute, but the precision always stays below 15m in the car which is excellent.
In GPS test you can see the SNR (signal to noise ratio). Can you tell me which figures you get?

I accidentally invoked the trial period at a time when I had no trips planned. As such I could only test it locally for places I knew how to get to. Seemed ok though.
I paid for the lifetime license, based mainly on:
- The way it handles incoming calls.
- The maps being offline.
- Integration with Sense.
However, I do now regret rushing into buying this. It has not been great, and often I find myself having to revert to Google Maps Navigation instead. Problems I have experienced with the premium HTC Navigation include...
- Slow GPS fix (could do with something similar to Quick GPS on the HTC WinMo devices).
- Incorrectly identifying destination (hotel wasn't at indicated destination, and had to drive around unaided trying to find it).
- Destinations often not found (often put full postal address in contacts or calendar entries, but are not found by HTC Navigation. Google Maps usually doesn't have the same problem.)
- No option to choose an alternative route or add waypoints to force a new route.

I recently paid for the license. My DHD picks up GPS within secods.
I was worried because using google maps it took forever, but I did a soft refresh and after that gps works fine. Not sure if it was that or the fact I started using premium Nav.
I use it mainly for novelty value. All the voices are free so I like to try different languages.
I also find that the arrival time at destination is not as accurate as TomTom.
I like it better than googlemaps because of the natural voice and integration to HTC.

GPS Program, especially in India

I just bought MapMyIndia which is powered by Sygic 10 interface, the GPS itself is fantastic and the maps seems good. Although the interface isn't all that great, it's kinda laggy to scroll. What do you guys use?

I shelled out another 30 euros for sygic indian maps and they work far better than mapmyindia's android version, mainly because the sygic is a version ahead of the one provided with mapmyindia.

Seriously.. don't we have any free options for the voice navigation in India in Android ??
I downloaded Waze, but looks like it will consume data traffic..
Please let me know if we have any free options in India.

Free is only Google Map (world navigation activated version), but it needs active data connection. Many are saying if you pre cache data, it can works offline. But make it clear, it won't work, though it will not fetch map data, still you need active data connection to start navigation, otherwise it will voice masg ' data connection lost'
but i think this is the best, B'coz 2G pack in india <2$/month, you can use wifi to precache map, where you are travelling and then use it, will not consume much data.
Paid version working good, i have tried almost all available and i giving details as per my expperience
1. Sygic Aura 11.2.3 - Best interface, Good map, working nice on high end device
2. Navigon,v6.0 Good interface, Good map, Working Flawless in most device
3. NDrive , Good map, n interface, but not as good as Navigon
4.Sygic MapmyIndia, Average interface, Map n FC many times

But google maps does not have voice navigation in India. How will it work ?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

It does have, I am using.
If you concern about voice only - You need Sound synthesis if not installed(TTS). But i think it is installed in Note already, when i have switched from SGS to Note, it was working without installing it.
you can check it ,setting - voice input n output - text to speech setting.
And If
You are saying that navigation not supported in india, Then you need world activated navigation, Not with market google map. I have mention in bracket it in earlier post.
Stock OR Market google Map restricted navigation to work for few countries only.
