I use Navigon. Nice.

NDrive / Google
You can use most if not all of them out there.
Google is damn good also I use Ndrive works great in my view never had a problem..

There are a lot of options in the market. If you used one of them before and it was good then keep on using it
I'm currently using the following:
- Copilot.
- iGo.
- Google Maps.
All of them are great.
Regards.

Add to this navitel navigator and navdroid.
There are just so many.
Basically you get the one with the best maps for your region.
For me that's navitel

BEST FREE GPS software for X10 mini?

Whats the best one? COMPULSORY is VOICE GUIDANCE TURN-BY-TURN, any suggestions?
I like Google Navigation.
I am using copilot live..

Try Waze also dude
Not free but NDrive works the best on my Xperia X10 Mini Pro.
Offline maps, turn-by-turn navigation.. All I could want with a nice UI.
TomTom...I am waiting for you soo loong, it's the best.
ndrive is best
In Polish - Naviexpert but its not free and works only in online mode

Google Navigation does not have turn-by-turn voice guidance..
For really simple GPS software i use rmaps with google offline maps. (to see where am i)
For navigation i use navigon ( not free)
I wanted Navigon but downloading maps was horribly slow so I tried NDrive and it looks great, it does everything I need (although I haven't tested it yet very much).

I use Copilot but can't find a decent (free) keyboard that will work, the stock keyboard is less than useless
Offline mapping I use osmand (open street map android). I have downloaded the maps using tangogps (linux app) onto sd card and then used on phone. (had to add .png.tile to the .png to use) You need to change settings to use the same map files and storage locations. The POI's work very well, banks, food, transport etc. nav is not really workable in Sydney (tries to fit 5 Million pop city onto mini too much data!)

Best Offline GPS Navigation App?

Hello guys, as the title says, I'm looking for a good and accurate offline gps navigator.. I live in Singapore..
Sent from my E15i using XDA Premium App
I believe for europe the best is iGO.
Yes,it's the best for me.
Sygic, better than Google navigation and map
Igo,Sygic,Ndrive,Papago ---> can't tracking
Navitel ---> can do a tracking
One negative thing about Navitel is...we can't enter UTM coordinates (so we have to convert it first ) ----> I miss Garmin
question:
is iGo run with any lag ?
for me it's laggy a litle bit
I have lag too
Igo works without lag. MiniCm and 710 OC

I prefer CoPilot, definitely better than iGo, much more functions, and customizations, and the map from navteq is the best on the market for my country (Croatia), (i know iGo also have maps from navteq - but they are not identical), that's only my opinion...
I agree - CoPilot!
Sygic is the best i think. Fast, smart, and easy to set it. Btw its basic datas requires much free space.
i use IGO and it's very nice you can download maps by torrent ;0)
Navigon is the one for me. I've got the Europe mappack and it always lead me exactly to where I wanted to go ;-)
Navigon is the best of

I did an extensive research on this, and there are only two apps that support qHD resolution properly.
1. Copilot
2. Sygic Aura
Unfortunately, both have crappy maps for my region (non-US). So, I use a 800x480 version of Motonav (iGo). It works but doesn't fill the entire screen.
It only fills the 800x480 part (duh! .. ) leaving the rest as black stripes on the sides.
Navigon works fine and fulls the whole screen. The only thibg i do not like about Navigon is the address input interface.

I have been using copilot for a year now. It is very nice and simple to work with.
I have been using NDrive, it only need that you go to spare parts and disable compatibility mode.

No polaris/flipboard for our S3?

As above, is there no flipboard for our s3? And polaris doesn't seem accessible, only able to view documents using the viewer...?
Same here. Where did you purchase your GSIII? Mine is from t-mobile Germany.
Perhaps flipboard is only available to UK residents at this time???
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I bought mine at MediaMarkt SIM free and also don't have Polaris & Flipboard.
I also don't have video maker! I tried importing it from s2 and galaxy note but it didn't work....
Anyone?

I'm in Dublin, Ireland. Got my Galaxy S3 with Three Ireland and it does in fact have Flipboard.
Flip board is probably an English-speaking region exclusive. I remember it used to be only available in the US AppStore for a long time on iOS.

same here. have neither of them on my singapore set.
any one with Video Maker included?
Sharing Videos require Video maker to make them smaller.... i tried the ones in the market but they suck...
Hmmm I guess Flipboard is exclusive to UK at the moment now? I just installed the extracted APK from the Flipboard thread, works but I can sense some slight choppiness at times.
Polaris is totally missing from my phone..
Missing good apps and bundled with crap bloatware from the carrier :x

Can you please tell me your ROM info from Settings > About
Is it just me or is Flipboard full of US content and hardly anything UK related, especially on the sport side?
In spanish manual figures that flipboard is available, but when you search for it in the phone, it isn't available...
Just as a tip, I took Polaris from a Galaxy S 2 ROM, works beautifully.
you can download flipboard in the application "more services"
flipboard is up on samsung apps.
Australian stock - flipboard installed by default but no Polaris office full version.
It seems like AU stock only as Polaris viewer and when you use it to open a doc it says to download full version for free from "more services" but upon searching the more services, I could not find it.
Anyone manage to get Polaris office full version installed by any means?
Same here, it is viewer only, which states that it is possible to get a full one, but it is nowhere to be found...<!

Best offline GPS app?

I'm looking for any recommendations for GPS apps that I can use with no internet connection. Preferably an app that would download the maps locally.
I'm currently using Sygic and I really like it but am curious if anyone has any other suggestions?
Thanks!

The new version of Google Maps has offline support though only for a small area not a whole country yet but if you're not travelling too far at a time you could download each area as you need it.

How could any offline GPS beat sygic besides for price? It almost gives the same features and experience as 'proper' gps units like Tomtom etc.
Plus using sygic on my xoom gave me a better experience using GPS than the TomTom units I have (due to using it on a 10" screen though)

Locus Pro is the best offline GPS App
Sygic is the best that I have found, although the routing can be a little flaky at times. I must say it has improved a great deal in the 2 years I've had it.
Navigon is the best in my opinion, but Sygic is also very good.
Sygic and Navigon both okay, Sygic speed limits way out of date in my area.

I recently purchased Sygic. It seems great, but I have one rather big complaint. Not sure if it's because I am from South Africa. But I can't seem to get the app to navigate to a specific address, eg 149 Field Street. It seems to only be able to take me to Field street and I don't have the option to choose a specific number. Something easily achieved in google maps, and Nokia Ovi Maps.
As you can understand navigating to a street is quite bad especially if it is a big street. Is this the best the app can navigate or is it because I am from South Africa? I've downloaded the local SA maps etc etc.

Definitely a regional problem with the map data. Works fine here.

I have the same screens as what you show, and if I type a number, it also shows only the "Any (start -> end)" field but when I press done, it accepts the number I set (it'd say "Any(149)" in your case I guess and direct you to that number).
I think Copilot is pretty good. It does depend on your region in terms of what maps are available and what works.

Happy with CoPilot here, all of europe. Works well has its own speed cameras and also accepts PocketGPSWorld camera databases.

I like Waze. I use it fairly often. Routing is a little hit n miss sometimes though (although it's getting better) and the crowd sourced hazard/traffic info is an interesting touch.
I *think* you have to have a data connection for routing though so prob doesn't count as offline.

Thanks everyone for the replies! I tried all of the suggested apps and Sygic and Navigon were tops to me. I think Sygic wins out, but I wanted to try others of course.
+1 for Sygic. I dunno what Google was thinking for releasing an offline map function that can't do at least turn-by-turn.
