Has anyone managed to get either of these two apps running on the S2?
I've tried CoPilot but the maps aren't great (for example, it often advises me to turn right in Central London when right turns aren't permitted).

I am using Navigon and it works fine for me.

Have used both and they both worked fine. Deleted navigon after a while as it took too much room up and I prefer sygic anyway.
I have both but use co pilot mostly.
Navigon came standard with Optus Australia. Been using it for about 4 months and works great.

Hello,
I am currently in Spain for a few weeks for work. My GPS does not work at all here. I don't even see any satellites (sometimes I see 1), and it never locks. This is under completely open sky.
I have tried the s.gps.zip and the samsung restore app, as well as different modems and nothing works. Any suggestions?
I'm running Bionix Nextgen 1
I believe in SGS tools there is a GPS fix option that lets you choose your region. Try that.
Yeah, Pick Europe instead of the default North America.
Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Still doesn't work. Although occasionally I see up to 10 sats but it never locks.
Any idea why?

Do you have data? What ROM are you running.
Mine works fine in UK
Yes, i have data. I'm running bionix nextgen.

Hello forum
Ever since i got my Atrix i've been trying to find a Gps app that has Cyprus in it. Tried Sygic and many others but Cyprus is not included. iGO seems to have it but not the version i got from xda. If anyone could point me to the right place i would really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Good news for all of us that don't use 3G. Google maps is updated and now we can work our GPS offline. All you have to do is download the map and then you can use it whenever you want. I've been using for a month now and it works great!

i have map for cyprus
si true but 3G cost. ai have map for Sygic end si greit. fi you woant map contact my.
Can anyone recommend (paid or free) that works correctly with the Amaze and has active (live) traffic?
I've paid for Copilot but it freezes all the time requiring a phone reset to get it working again. It was so bad i thought it must be my phones GPS unit but I tried google navigation and that worked just fine.. trouble is it seems a bit basic, data heavy and doesn't seem to have active traffic for road accidents..
Cheers.
Google maps. I have tried a few diff ones and keep coming back to google maps. The only real downfall is if you try to start navigation, and you don't have a internet connection. Otherwise its great.
Is there a specific set of features you are looking for?
Telenav was out before gmaps and is an okay alternative. There are some others that allow predownload of entire regions

Are you on GB or ICS? I have Copilot 8 and it FCs on ICS. Worked great on GB.
I now use Sygic and works well on ICS.

GB.. Try ** navfree ** On market its an open source community for years..
Works fine in Canada... Don't let your screen sleep during the map download

yeah, i use navfree, usa version. Works like a charm

Google maps does it all. You can click Settings > Labs > Pre-cache map area if you are traveling a long route and you think you may lose signal. Otherwise it has live traffic and voice turn by turn, all free. I will try navfree since you guys mentioned it though. Always a fan of open-source projects!
Google maps FTW
You can cache map areas....
If you hate the default navigation voice, try out svox
I consider Google maps bloat... It runs for no reason

It runs for a reason. Its the location provider. Any apps that request you location (IE Facebook, Flixster, Groupon), Android uses google maps to find you.
Copilot 8 was ok on stock GB on my telus Amaze but I just flashed the stock Tmobile ICS and found it wouldnt work at all so i switched to Copilot Live Pro 9 which i would highly recomment as its a significant improvement on 8 - i had to pay $4.95 for the Canadian Map but that didnt bother me too much seeing as i didnt pay for the main app itself.

Ya.. I'm not a 13 yr old girl or interested in any of those things.. I froze it... the way it runs for no reason makes it crapp or bloat.. I'll wait 3 seconds for gps fix

I dont have sprint anymore as a service provider but i was wondering how do I get the GPS to work like a normal GS so far I have tried and im not sure if I need a rom that will let me use the Phone as a standup GPS
Google maps, but if you don't have service i don't think it'll work.
Let us know if you find one

Load up google maps while on wifi and download the map sections you plan on using.
I don't know if it will still allow directions but it will at least let you find your location and show the map
Looks like I would have to do some pre-planning before traveling
If you are on another cdma service provider you could always flash your 3vo over and use it. Otherwise I use a wifi hotspot.

Apps like Copilot live and others in the Play Store lets you download all the maps for a country onto an SD card while you are on WiFi so you don't need a data connection while driving. The app is free buy you have to pay in app for the offline maps.

Aura is also a good one (a little bit expansive but do its job)

Navigon also has good offline Navigation. Not the cheapest solution but worth every $

Sygic too
Hi, with recent roms based on the last official sammy firmwares, i get a very slow GPS positioning, and when is locked onto a few satellites, it drops all of them ocasionally and then i have to wait for a lock again.
Before, this never happened to me, i would get a solid lock that would continue to track my location.
i live in south america, is there some way to improve this situation via software? or could it be that my GPS module is getting broken (my s3 has 1 year and a half of use and a extended zerolemon 7000mha battery), which "part" of the OS handles GPS signal? (kernel, baseband, android...).
