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?

I have not. I was not aware that I could download the map data on a pc and it would work in android. I could try it though.

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
Is there any plan for standalone use of Maps on GPS equipped smartwatches? Tried asking this over at Google Community but their forum doesn't work -- any new question gets an error message and won't post, so I'm hoping to find some help here.
According to Android Pit, “It’s easy to get turn-by-turn directions on your Android Wear smartwatch. Plus, with Android Wear 2.0, you can do it without being connected to your smartphone if your smartwatch has GPS built-in.”
Even a Google Support article regarding AW 2.0 seems to indicate this is possible, just by downloading and using Google Maps on your AW 2.0 device.
My device, the ZTE Quartz, has been reviewed as allowing for stand alone navigation. It has GPS, a SIM card, runs on a 3G network, and has GPS. It even has a menu option for Location of using “Device Only” for GPS. Yet, I can’t use Google Maps without use of my phone.
Wasn’t this supposed to be part of AW 2.0, using maps with the wearable only? It seems there is definitely a sense that it should be possible, as I've indicated above . I keep coming across references to it being possible, but also feedback that it is not possible in real life.
I see Huawei 2 customers are also frustrated, having understood that they could use the watch only for navigation, and yet it does not work, according to threads I've come across, while trying to research this.
The ZTE Quartz Community suggests it is a Google Maps problem that maybe will be fixed in the future? The thought seems to be that AW 2.0 should be capable of it, but the Maps app is at fault.
Any plans to address this? Or will navigation always require use of both the watch and the phone? This greatly reduces the independent use of the watch, obviously, which seemed to be the point of AW 2.0, to address such.
Any thoughts? Is anyone on AW 2.0, with a GPS enabled watch, able to use navigation without a phone?
Huawei watch 2 here.
As for the recent time, i found navigation with the watch to be unreliable, lag and overall pretty useless. With or without phone.
The google app and the maps app got several updates recently so I'll give it a try again.
lg urbane 2
i have the same issue and searching for a solution. the menu already says: use gps inbuilt and smartphone and can't change the option.
can we edit this somewhere?

Hi, yes I use it on my Moto 360 sport (upgraded AW2) and it works surprisingly well. Maps are quite clear on watch, zoom in and out easily and pick a start and end point then the app will plot a route and navigate - all offline with no phone!
I'm quite impressed. The only app that comes near is Viewranger.
I made a standalone navigation map here, if you'd like to try it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.onibaku.standalonewearmap

This is looking really good. I want true standalone navigation on my Huawei Watch 2 4G. It has a sim so loads the route standalone and seems to be able to do everything expected...i'm trying the demo version now.
One question though...unless i'm missing something..how do you exit the app? I'm currently having to force close it.

I had not realised that the app does not cease to use GPS whilst it is in sleep mode, so I have added a button to exit the app properly when you drag down. I've just released it now.

Hi I have just bought the standalone wear map for my Huawei watch 2 and it works very well.
Would like to check whether we can record the tracks and have an option to display it on the watch screen in additional to the routes (plot out by defining the destinations).
If no, would there be plan in the future.
Thanks.

Hi,
Is there a way to force an navigation app to show up in the supported GPS apps?
Because i have tomtom but it doesn't show up, the only one is google maps.
I have tried to force the audio mixing with the factory settings, but it still pauses the music when the gps talks.
I hope this can be fixed.
Kind regards,
Dewispelaere Max

You can install Tom Tom on your head unit then pick it as your default navigation app. First you will need to download it from the play store.

That's the problem, I can't select it. And it is downloaded from the play store. I have an subscription of tomtom, so I want to use it too.
It depends on the unit and software...on my generic 8227L unit I had to go into the factory menu, add my navigation app in the section for...well, navigation apps and then after a reboot I could select it as default in the Car Settings.
Hope this helps.

If you've had no luck as yet, I would suggest contacting Tom Tom Support. I'm sure they must have come across this problem 1000s of times.
The other thing to try is goto settings then apps, then default apps. Then see if you can choose Tom Tom from there.

I have chatted with the support team and they didn't know how to help. They would send my question to the app developers. After 2 days I got an email telling me that tomtom go mobile wasn't supported on Android auto. But that's not what I asked for, I ment a modified version of android that runs on a Chinese car stereo. They did say that they would support go mobile for Android auto in the future, so yay for that. But I think there is no fixing of my problem, I will attach a few things to this quote for you guys to see what they have send me, one is in Dutch (the original) and one is translated with Google translate. I don't know if there is a custom rom for my car radio that could fix this, otherwise I would try that.

I cannot seem to download offline copies of maps in Google Maps. My idea was to download map data while at home and connected to my home WiFi so that I don't need to use data while driving in areas where I have already downloaded the maps.
I add an area to download and it always just sits there waiting to download and 0%. I left my unit powered up in my house about 6 feet from the access point over night and it still was at 0% the next day.
Has anyone else had this issue?
I'm using an 8227L head unit.
Hi yes, today actually. It worked fine when I shared my phone's hotspot. Not really a fix more a get around

Google is probably one of the best online map systems there is.... but it's also probaly one of the WORST offline systems there is. Tons of better offline nav apps at the playstore to download. IGO, Sygic, TomTom....

I tried using my phone hotspot and it still will not download.
Fixed it! I went into the play store and downloaded the update for the Google Maps app.
Could definitely use some help here. Diving back into the android head unit game after having an AN-21U long ago. Just got a kufine ts18 unit. Thinking of returning it. I can't get Netflix or other streaming services to play because of the play protect issue, I assume. Netflix not compatible. Disney plus error 39. Anyways, I'd like to keep it, but I need to figure out if it can be rooted. Notice some options for ts10, but no specific ts18 options. Help?
The main difference between TS10 and TS18 is the CPU, in addition to the difference in the main frequency and the production process is different, TS18 is a very good entry device, of course, more mature and stable is TS10. Recently TOPWAY will also launch the new TS6 platform, there is updated news I will release a new post in XDA public, TOPWAY platform can be used normally! NETFLIX, DISNEY and other APPs

Hi iskenderr. Were you able to install again zlink? I am stuck in the activation code. I've instaled several versions but is always the same. There is any other app or solution to connect your phone wireless?
TLink 1.8.6 comes installed even though I did a factory reset. I guess it registers automatically because only wifi is active.
Finally, I've contacted the seller and they send me a .zip with all the preinstalled apps. I've copied them in an external memory usb and directly install the apps, in my junsun ts18, include tlink5. Everything working like the first day. Excelent service by the seller, Junsun France.

Is anybody else having issues with navigation apps? If used normally all is ok with sound, but whenever any navigation app is set as the main navigation app it loses all sound
Its an Eonon Q03pro TS18 2.2 windowed mode latest firmware and latest mcu. These units use ilauncher themes and the windowed themes allow you to set whichever navigation app is the main one in a window on the launcher which is a great feature
I have tried Google maps, waze, tomtom go, sygic and igo all sounds and voice guidance works but only if not set as main navigation app.
Just wondered if anyone knows how to be able to set it as main system navigation but not lose sound as its pretty useless without sound

Fixed....well seems to be, found a thread on a similar problem on TS10 units so was worth a try i thought and it works....
The Solution in case it helps others
Go to Android settings -> Apps and notifications -> Advanced -> Apps with special permissions -> Access to notifications -> Uncheck "Google" option.
For some reason that service has broken notification chanel in Android sound output

Did you get your sound working? I too have a TS18, mine is AINAVI brand which I just finished installing. So far I've been using stock apps, and the TLink for CarPlay music and nav (Waze) using an iPhone. So far, I'm impressed, though would like to update nav and music for offline use. Perhaps you can share which Android apps you found worked best. I've installed VLC for playing video and found it to work much better than what came stock. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
