Sygic works just fine on my head-unit?
I use Here maps from nokia, really cool in offline navigation.

I have a Eonon head unit and every time I try running Sygic, all the settings reset and it tries to redownload data, so not really usable for me.
I have an Eonon GA2114 and Sygic works fine for me although I also find that it can start messing things up once connected to the internet sometimes.
The way I have it set up is all the maps are saved on my SD card so I dont use any data and you can then use an app to block Sygic access to the internet to avoid it messing anything up.

Really? I have the exact same unit!
I really don't understand what the issue is then?
Have you made any MODS that are worth bragging about?
If you haven't change the dpi yet; that is one MOD you need to do. I'm sure you've realised that the available screen space is not good. This gives you a 1024x768 type resolution, but you will need to override this for certain builtin apps like the Radio for example.
I must have updated my post just after you quoted me haha, I added some extra info
I've not really got any special mods although at the moment I'm working on using Tasker and AutoRemote to have any SMS messages from my phone displayed on the headunit and also an option to reply.
I'll need to give that a go! What do you mean by having to override it for the builtin apps?

I didn't realise you have updated the post, I always have internet in the car so that must be causing issues; I did try reinstalling a few time, but got tired of downloading all the required files/map every time I reinstall.
Here maps is the best alternative that I've found, but I just stick to Google Maps as it as free traffic info too.
Built-in apps don't seem to be developed to cater for larger screens/resolution. So, the layout goes a bit messy, overcame this by using Xposed framework to apply the higher dpi setting to those particular apps (no more than 5)

If youre using Xposed; try changing your IMEI into the same as your phone IMEI for example, I think this would solve the problem for you two both as Sygic checks over internet your IMEI for a valid (phone) IMEI. I had the same problem, but Sygic works perfect for me now. See the post below for the details. Good luck!
i.draskovic said:
I have found solution how to make Sygic to work on ours devices.
It is wery easy and it finaly works for me, and I would like to share it with others. You can make it in two steps.
First of all you have to install rooted ROM. I have install update_4_4_4_RK3066_1024X600_7_MAL_14_05_2015.rar
You can find rooted rom for your device on this link https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxmzvLRI7-eNeVA2SWkwM1pLZ28&usp=sharing#listv
When you done you have to install Xposed IMEI Changer. You can find it at Google Play Store and start the app. Xposed Installer will prompt up and you have to give permissions to IMEI Changer and to install Framework if you did not already.
Than yo have to open IMEI changer and copy IMEI code from your smartphone. (I have HTC M7 and IMEI code you can find in Settings-Info-Tlefon identity.
After that you have to reboot device and open IMEI changer to see is it new IMEI applied.
If it is, than you have to go to Google Play Store, install Sygic and download maps.
Result you can see on attached image.
I hope that it will work for others.

How do you find Google maps data wise, does it use a lot? I had really liked the look of the live traffic feature of Sygic but I would need to be online obviously and that would mess up my maps etc. I had thought about using just Google Maps for traffic as well since its free but worried about how much data it would use with the navigation of it always on (suppose I could download an offline section but think they are quite small areas )
Thanks for that, will need to give it a go

I've installed IMEI Changer and this works great; a little silly that the orginal IMEI number doesn't even follow the correct format which was maybe the cause of the internet linking issues.
Will try reinstalling Sygic later and hopefully would have made a difference.

I have unlimited data so have never really looked into data usage; but I can say that it is not only traffic data you will be receiving but it would also be download map tiles. Downloading offline map data for Google is OK, I have tried it, but as you have already mentioned; you can only download small areas and these do expire after a month (I believe?).
My main issue with Google Maps is the non-existence of speed camera detection, which is why I used to use Sygic. It is now a trade off between traffic/cameras?!?!?!?!?
I have a GA2114 as well. However I can't download the HERE offline maps. It just says waiting to download and then says it's slow. Any issues with you guys? I'm running the latest Malaysk ROM.

Nope, although I am using the stock ROM.
Have you tried downloading the map/data on a PC then moving to the appropriate location on your head unit?

Yep, there is a Sygic Map Downloader application that someone has created. Very simple to use and you can choose the required maps and it will download it with the required data.
You shouldn't have a problem finding this application if you look in the usual/common places people go for downloads.
If you have trouble finding it though, give me a shout and I can point you in the right direction via a pm.

I have the AG2114. I use Copilot and it works wonderfully. I bought the usa full version for I think $9.95.
I prefer Sygic and I have got it working. Just change your system IMEI number to match you phone. Works a treat. Sygic also warns of speed cameras, sharp bends, speeding and all sorts vocally.

Would you be so kind as to say for which apps you've changed the dpi and what you've changed it to and how? Which Xposed module? AppOps or something else? I've noticed several things that are just way too large to fit properly and even Nova launcher can barely change anything which was a first.
Also, if you have a custom recovery, which one?
I've only rooted, put Viper4Android, Xposed and IMEI Changer on so far. As for navigation Waze seems a popular option for those not dead set on Sygic like I am since I have world wide license already and a major reason I bought this damn thing in the first place (GA5153F). Bummer is that if one goes for the Car Navigation app over the regular one it's bye bye Snoop Dog directions but overwise it seems better laid out. Now I'm tearing my hair out trying to get the E1750 3G modem to work. There's not even a Mobile Networks setting in the menu. Maybe this kinda stuff is why people flock to custom roms which I might at a later date but I digress...
Sygic seems to work on mine but no voices it's not muted

Hope You Guys Like It.
I've tried it. I like Windows Live search program much better. Google is good though.
thnx
thnx...i have tried to use it b4...n it seemed really off!!
this works like a charm!!
doing an md5 hash checked revieled that the cab i had and this one was different. then bingo.. what do you know! new version.
original version was 1.0.0 this one is 1.0.1
haven't noticed anything different. and i'm still getting those annoying errors.
im disappointed.
Zero errors here.
Works great and I love it. Way cooler then Live Search IMO.
Plus it loads 10 times faster. Very handy app!
Yeah, this is really fast and zippy. Very nice interface. Hope they can include hardware button assignments to zoom in and out in the future.
Worls great on the Wizard, even without OCing.
I couldnt seem to get this to work with wifi. Any ideas?
Map4PDA
Check out http://www.map4pda.com/ .
Its free and its even better than googlemaps.
Map4pda is an app like googlemaps . You can use maps from google earth,yahoomaps and some more providers.
anyone had success using it with a bluetooth gps ???
ps:
map4pda doesn't work for me... because i did not see any map... only black screen or sometimes white screen with a few black lines... just tryed out all map providers... everywhere the same...
!! Yes !!
Yes agreed, I've been using the original for a while, no difference here.

Anyone know of a mapping app that will save the maps for OFFLINE viewing? I don't use WiFi all that often, and I would like the program to save the maps for my city, so I can view them offline.
Any ideas?
TIA
I love the google maps app, but have found a problem. It seems to have added a function under the contacts menu for outlook contacts that allows you to search google maps for a saved address. Only problem is, I have yet to get it to work. I always get an error message saying the address doesn't exist. I've even gone so far as to type in my address, copy the address format directly from google maps itself, pasted it in to my contact and I still get the same error. Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you.

If I remember correctly, map4pda has a function to cache to your memory card. I don't use it anymore though, for that reason actually.

Yeah, the address location thing doesn't work for me either
It always says "Unable to locate: " then the address, exactly as it should be.
I'd imagine Google will fix it soon. I just checked for a new version but it's still the 1.0.1 version.

I have this problem too. I have GPRS disabled and I would like to keep multiple driving directions for offline viewing as well. Map4PDA and Google Maps doesn't seem to be able to save information for offline driving directions. I emailed the developer for Map4PDA to see if there was a way, but no response yet. Anyone have any ideas as to be able to do this? Thanks.
Google Maps is working great for me right now. Like stated previsously, contact's address does not work.
I also use Virtual Earth Mobile...another great mobile map application.
I would use map4PDA, but i don't want to have to install .NET CompactFramwork as it takes up a lot of space on my PPC. I've used it before, and it's great, but I'll just stick with Google Maps & VirtualEarthMobile.
wm6 and google maps? a match made in hell?
Wondering if anyone knows a solution to this problem. I am running Google maps and wm6 and was wondering if there was a way to get it to stop coming up with the following error; "This program requires a data connection, and will retry automatically. in the mean time, please check your signal strength. (error:wininetReadError [6])"
It still loads the maps after prompting me with this annoying error screen. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
My best regards,
Gio
I get the same error as capncucci. I never tried the program with WM5 so I can't say if it occured there or not.

When i connect my WM5 to the pc with active sync and i use googlemaps i sometimes get this error also.
Gmaps just cant connect to the internet, when i press ok, it will work.
So proberly your connection (with AC, GPRS, WiFi) to the internet isnt that reliable.

Mine didn't have it - but it's a free download. (just got it yesterday in fact)
Link : http://www.google.com/mobile/default/maps.html
QuickGPS is just a method whereby the phone downloads a stored bit of information about the location of certain GPS satellites so as to get your location (with reference to those satellite positions) a bit quicker (or so I understand, I could be wrong).
thank you very much very helpful info
doesnt this Require internet access when using the map?
Install Google Maps in your Storage Card. I did this and my cache (map) is also there. This is the solution for offline navigation.
By the way: I'm running Dutty's ROM 1.7, so I don't know for sure it will work for you.
Try it and see for yourself.
thank you

It does, yes. It needs it to download the map graphics - unless you're in an area you've already scouted via wifi (I guess), and the graphics are in cache. (not played with it enough to check that).
Hello guys, yesterday i used the maps and it said i need to turn my 3g on i usually have it off. And when i press navigate it said i need to enable gps and i did. So my question is doesnt gps run without 3g or internet on other phones? And also i wana know does it use data?
because google maps requires an internet connection...
I all depends on which application you use for navigation.
Short answer:
Check with the software instrucions / help files to see how it behaves and works.
Long answer:
Some map software's have all the map data you need for your region already packed with it.
Advantage: No data need to be downloaded within the region, fast, works offline.
Disadvantage: Tricky to update the maps and often charge you for additional regions. Takes up space on the device.
Other apps download maps on the go as you navigate.
Advantage: Always the latest maps as you navigate. Takes less space on the device. Disadvantage: slow or even non-functional with poor or no data connection.
Google maps and Google navigation are of the latter one. They downloads maps as you navigate. therefor it is a good idea to have a data-plan with your provider so no additional expenses comes to.
They are free to use, so if you already have a data-plan with your provider, it's practically free.
On the X10, there are one application included by Sony Ericsson on most X10 sold out there: Wisepilot.
Wisepilot are the kind where you buy maps and download them into your phone, once this is done, it will use little or none of your data-connection.
I'm not sure, but I think Wisepilot are the kind that can be used offline once maps are bought and downloaded.
It can use the data-connection to download additional information such as "speed limit cameras", "spots of interest" and so on.
Try Mapdroid
This app downloads the MAP files when internet is available and can be used offline also with GPS activated..... try this, this is da best app
To US and Canadian Users
hey, when you use google navigation, will you be able to use the voice guidance??? I am having troubles to use the voice guidance...not sure how to activate it....
Having to buy the maps and such for wisepilot.. I wish there was a better solution for GPS on the x10. I wouldn't mind using it, but not necessary.
You can use GPS without 3G. I can even get a lock with my phone in airport mode and inside a cement building. When I say cement I mean cement, the floor, walls, and ceiling are all cement (hurricane proof). It is the third (top) floor however.
GPS software on x10
Currently I installed Navigon, Ndrive, MotoNave and Copilot 8 on my x10i with various world maps and all fully functional without 3g or network connection, direct data from satellite in orbit with the phone inbuild GPS receiver. Why you may ask? Because I can. How you may ask? The answers is out there! I am giving you the knowledge , now go and find your answers.
X10 is an Awsome device.
Another solution is to use the Brut Google Maps mod. It allows you to view previously viewed maps from the SD card. It saves the Google maps cache to your SD, but the only downside is that you have to view all of the places you want to travel on at all zoom levels.
If anyone needs it, I have the majority of Menorca done at all zoom levels......
I tend to use google navigation, the best bit of this is when you have your route downloaded and the voice guidance starts, you can then switch off your 3g and it still routes you. Obviously if you take a wrong turn it won't be able to download a new route until you switch 3g back on, but hey

Hi
Sorry if this has been discussed, but I couldn't find anything.
I'm interested in buying an Optimus One and I would really like to know what GPS software can I install, because GoogleMaps is not an option where there's no 3G signal...
Is iGO available for Android?
I'm really new in Andoid stuff, just got rid of my good-for-nothing Nokia 5230 (Symbian really sucks, the only good thing in it was the OviMaps app).
I ude ndrive..it cost $ but the ui turn by turn a like alot.
hello 22VIN ,
on my optimus one, I have installed iGO My Way 8.4.2.13242 and Sygic Aura. both of them is working very well no need 3G, just GPS enabled. the gps receiver itself is very fast , sensitive & accurate. I recommend it.
Try Copilot or Navigon.

If iGO works this is the best solution for me, because iGO has a very complete map of Romania (this I know for sure, I don't know anything about the other software) and I am very familiar to the interface.
3G is useful for A-GPS, because you can get a position lock in a few seconds, but if you say the receiver is fast, then it's ok.
Thanks for the answers

Here you go... Sorry for the delayed reply... This one is not the orignal one.. But its good.. You can use the 240MB India premium maps with this
And here is the original.
I use OruxMaps for the very reason that it supports full offline use. You prepare a map on the PC using mobile atlas creator (aka download maps from google maps or any provider, then create a file you can use on OruxMaps).
1. OruxMaps http://www.oruxmaps.com/index_en.html
2. MobAc http://mobac.dnsalias.org/
Downloaded my city's entire map from layers 16 - 18 xD I have never accessed the internet with my phone using OruxMaps for GPS stuff, and I have never manually cached stuff using the phone

I was wondering, can I still use those maps if I switch to FLIGHT MODE? Or for initial fix A-GPS is a must.
I ask this question because many entry level phones have very poor GPS antenna, which means getting a cold fix without A-GPS can take 15-20 minutes, if not more.
Yes.. You can ...

btw i am using google maps navigation feature it's 98% acurate
I do alot of off road where there is no wifi or 3g/4g. I need a nice app where I can download sat images and maybe even layer them with terrain. I won't be able to download on the road nor the trail. I tryed to use "maps". But I couldn't seem to get the maps. I always know where in goin(area) the next day. So I can download them ahead of time... I tried a couple diff apps. But most where paved roads. Nothing with sat. Memory space is not a problem. Planing on doing a seperate SD card just for this. Any help will be great. Thank you.
You looking for something like this?

i played with that one before. Its nice for sure. But I can't get it to give me roads too. I want Google maps to work offline. That would be great.
You should be able to cache Google Maps offline. I believe it is a Beta labs feature for maps where you can designate an area for offline use while you are still connected to a data network.
beta labs?
I think there are several off line GPS programs, including Waze and something called ZANavi. I think there are others as well, but if you search for offline GPS, there are quite a few, including Google's June 2011 announcement of offline maps, which has not apparently come to fruition yet.
good luck.

I dont think you can pre-cache the terrain or satellite overlay though. At least it doesnt work on mine.

tile cache for google maps
Ive been playing around with the google maps some more......even though the pre-cached maps with terrain overlays doesnt work well I did discover a way to do it.
First go to the grounds area you want cached and choose the layer that works best for you.
Next zoom to your desired scale and the view will slowly come to focus. When it does it seems to automatically cache that tile area. Problem is you will have to slowly scroll to each section of the landscape you want cached pausing until in focus. Hopefully its not too large of an area. It does seem to work and stores the info even after restart.
i have been caching tiles like you said all night.(in between my bf3 battles) It seems to keep them on there. i shut off wifi, and rebooted. still there. But for how long. I hope its there for good. i love that app.
