Going away this weekend and I want to save directions on Google maps to Evernote on my Nexus, when I had my laptop I just copied and pasted the directions into Evernote from maps and that was fine, but I tried to copy and paste from Maps to Evernote and it's not giving me the option, tried to make maps available offline but it can't seem to include the directions, and unless I find free wifi I won't have Internet, anyone any ideas?

I'm in search of a completely offline GPS application, which wouldn't require a wifi or data network to work.
The idea here is to roam with GPS of course, which would be super expensive with data.
So, in your opinion what is the best offline GPS for Nexus s?
iGO ftw, but depends for what areas you need it for

Google maps is now off line. You can pick a 10 mile radius to load maps on your SD card and have it off line. I wish they did more than 10 miles so I don't have to patch it around.

Sygic Aura, CoPilot.

But does it actually allow you to do navigation while offline? Or just download the maps to view?

That was the whole idea. Google wanted you to be able to navigate in the desert without internet connection. All you need for it to function is your GPS on and previously downloaded map. Update your Google maps. It's all spelled out in there.
Wow thats very cool. Can't wait to try it

Igo maps requires storage onto sd card. My nexus s doesnt have an sd card slot. How to proceed?
Sygic Auro seems to be running fine. It just won't find me to exact location, im one block away from my location.

While it doesn't have a SD card slot, it does use a partition on its internal hard disk as a 16GB sd card (or perhaps a bit less but it's approx 16GB). You should be able to fit it on there.

I haven't used Navigon on an Android phone, but my wife has it on her iPhone and it's pretty good. See http://www.navigon.com/portal/int/produkte/navigationssoftware/mobile_navigator_android.html
Google maps navigation is the best.

Copilot is ok, but i actually prefer google nav
have you guys actually been able to use google navigation offline? I've tried it multiple times but no dice...
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
The route is calculated online on Google Nav and that could be a big problem.
When I miss a street you need to wait the new route to be transfered, which would be ok if the 3G network was stable.
I recommend iGo.

I'm using it offline quite a bit since it came out. Just to save on data.

i'v already tried this and even trying it right now as we speak, its just for map cache, you need to have an internet connection to get the directions initially, and you better hope you don't miss a turn when you are offline, because you ain't gonna get a reroute from google maps while offline, people are confused about this feature, its map cache, that is all, its useless. So google maps is not the way to go for offline nav, just go with copilot or something simular. All you need to do is search the various markets,appstores out there for Android and read reviews of each app you come across. good luck.
CoPilot USA works great for me. Recommended by Android Guys.... guys?

im trying co-pilot myself for canada. Works good. locks on. pretty accurate.
My choice is Sygic GPS Navigation without any doubts!
The best interface I ever seen... accurate, simple, clear, immediate and complete at the mean time. It's free to try for 7 days, I strongly suggest to take a look by yourself.
Had do you get offline Google Search (with the cards etc...) and why does it not bring up cards based on Calendar events it already knows about, without having to go online...
I don't know. Please forgive me.

How can I do offline navigation with Google Navigation on my N7? I download my city to the device, turned off WiFi, and clicked the navigation button in Maps. It says "Action cannot be completed without data connection?" Is there any way I can get this on my N7 or do I need a different app/tether to my smartphone?

there are some paid apps which stores their maps locally, so you can access them offline. to be able to use navigation in google maps, you need active internet connection eg. your smartphone tether.
I just tether from my gnex.
Just compute your route before you disconnect. Turn by turn directions will then work while disconnected.

but if you take a wrong turn it cannot reroute
Just download a big enough area for offline navigation.

All wrong.
I have 2 apps that can do calculation of route while offline as they download the maps first (over Wi-Fi) and the app only uses your GPS on your nexus 7 to calculate the route.
These apps are nav free world
and
Sygic GPS Navigation
+1 for Sygic
Thanks for all the replies guys. I'll investigate some of the apps you mentioned and see if they will work for me.

No one's going to help you with pirates APKs. Root your Ouya and install Google Play.

If you have them on your nexus, you can use es filemanager to backup the apks to the internal storage, then copy them to your pc.
You can also use a program called RealAPK Leecher, and log in with your google account. It will let you download the apks for apps you own on the google play store.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563894
Also, just fyi, before i got the play store working on the ouya, i found out that if you just try to launch the apks, you will get an error. it checks the google store for purchase authorization, and if it doesnt find the store on your ouya, it wont download the data files. If the data files are already in place, it works fine. If you have the games already installed on your nexus, you can copy the data files from there onto the ouya. I copied them from my nook, and it worked fine.
do as the above post says, including copying the ogg data files over. After you start a game on the Ouya, you can copy your save games from the data directory to the Ouya.
The games run fine. But you may want to use a PS3 or something because the Ouya controller doesn't have a start button so you can't access the menu system. It's just a quirk.
Thanks I will give it a try.

Do you have recommendations for notes app that has offline mode and cloud syncing?
I used Catch in the past, but it's been discontinued 
So far, I tried :
- Evernote : it doesn't have offline mode unless you pay subscription. The free version doesn't allow you to take the notebook offline.
- Google Drive : it's good, but the offline mode sucks. It always try to get the online version first, until timeout then ask you for using the offline copy.
- Google Keep : it's good, but the notes organization sucks, there is none. I need to have folder OR be able to make category.
- ColorNotes : same as Google Keep.
Well, generally the Google Drive solution is OK, but now I am only holiday with limited, unreliable, slow, mobile internet. You don't want to use Google Drive in this situation.
I don't mind paying for app, but I found Evernote subscription is a bit too much for my usage.
Too bad, Catch was perfect
Thanks
