Does anyone know why Navigation (and Google Earth, and other Google software) is not available in most countries?
I mean, I have downloaded the hacked application from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007132 and Navigation works just fine in my country. I have also used MarketEnabler to download Google Earth and it also works pretty fine.
Why would Google not enable them, then????
I can't find an answer to this anywhere.
Nobody knows?
Laws made by your country.

I'm positively, absolutely sure there's no law in my country preventing google (or anyone else) to enable navigation (or google earth, etc.).
Just in case, I asked the local telecom if they had any restriction about this (like if they were about to provide a competing product) and they said they don't have any restriction, nor any idea why google would do this.
Amazing.
Several days, and nobody knows the reason.

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows why I can't use google navigation (in Belgium)?
Also there seem to be no good gps softwares on the arket for legend.
I can't drive my car WATCHING google maps 'my location' without clear directions/spoken.
Any advise appreciated!
Another thing that is not possible is voice recognition, hos is it possible that HTC decided to block this on Legend? Unbelievable!
Thanks!
Navigon, Sygic, iGo... pretty good imo
try CoPilot.. it´s not free but close TomTom. maps are available for almost everywhere
I am using NDrive
I bought iGo and I must say, its pretty good, its fast, it fixes the position in seconds and I just love it
I was hoping that by the time Ill by my Legend, there will be tom tom for android, but theres not ... so
best one for me is the sygic, very similar to tomtom and very reliable.

Because Google didn't enable it yet for Belgium (it's only available in US & UK).
You could always install Brut's hacked Google Maps, which enables Google Nav for unsupported countries ;-)
sygic is the best!
Navigon
I have a very good experience with Navigon for Android.

Well, I did install a "workarounded" maps found somewher on this forum, and apart from the fact that it unexpectedly did a total makeover of my phone, it only is another way to find out that Google Maps is not supported in BeNeLux.
You can choose routing, only to get a message from google that maps is not (yet) supported for my region.
Presumably routing needs additional data from google or they found a way to block access again.
I guess the latter, as I tried to travel around in the US with the same result.
I had the exact same problems (also got belgium HTC Legend without voice recognation and navigation) BUT: you can get it working farly easy.
Here is a link to the google navigation BRUT mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887
Brut.all made the google navigation work everywhere even in Belgium.
And since 18/05 it even has voice guidance.
For the Voice recognation (Voice Search) I've uploaded the one that works for me on megaupload: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AV5QM1CZ
If that doesn't work try searching google for voice search apk. I've tried at least 10 since I found one that wasn't giving me an error.
I'm using Navigon and I'm really happy with that..
copilot
I didnt think irealand was big enough to warrant a satnav (jus kidin) i am using copilot cracked iff anyone wants the apk file pm me i find it by far the best one around i have tried most.All you need is the apk once installed it dloads current maps automatically and also speed cameras.
iGo is great.

I'm pretty sure I've already posted this, but I can't find it, so I'm posting again.
So I installed sygic, but it won't load any maps even though they are in the right directory "/Maps/xxx/xxx.pak".
I also tried "/maps/xxx/xxx.pak" and "/maps/xxx.pak", but ut doesn't work.
Anyone's got a solution for this ?
nobody ? __
when using the correct *.mlm file it should work *.mlm file is in maps folder...
you better could look here for more info and how to's

Hi
I have a few questions about google applications and P500
1. Does Google earth work on P500 or not? when I go to android market it says that the app is not available in my country not that it is not supported by my device.
2. My phone came with Google Maps installed and I can use street view inside the application (go inside bubbles) but only on streets, I can't see bubbles that are not placed on streets, is there any way to see those too?
use orbot to fake country ..i have posted a tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099273
but it applies to google earth too,,,try it,, just select google earth in the list
cool. i will try. thanks.
Apparently HW-incompatible, so... not really worth the hassle trying the above.
Google Earth won't work on P500 because of hardware problems...
Because our processor doesn't support I think it will released for our handset

I'm wondering if there is a good application for my droid that will use the GPS to get me around with a preloaded map database so that it doesn't rely on me having a data connection.
Edit: did some research, looks like osmand and mapdroyd are the best choices. Any user opinions on which is better and why?
Thanks,

Google maps works well for a *basic* map,newer versions can cache the map.
Thanks but I was looking for something that could do TBT navigation as well.

Are you using the Android Market app to try and download google maps? If so try accessing the android market from your phone's built in web browser instead. Download google maps from your browser onto your SD card and install it manually.

I think Copilot, also
Copilot works without any data connection right? Just like TomTom for iOS? And does anyone know where I can find a cracked version without having to pay 20.00 ? Thanks

Does ask others on a development forum to help you be dumb and disrespectful toward software developers. $20 is cheap.

Hi.
My name is Martin.
I live in Latvia and that's where the problem is. I can't use Google now, because it ain't available in my country yet. I tried going in options but it wouldn't even give me an option to enable the Google now. OK, I understand it cannot offer much useful information, because Latvia isn't made available yet, but I want to enable it anyway.
Is there a way to enable Google now without actually moving to US or something?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
i think you can use vpn or ssh of american to enable google now in your phone, but if google service not availble in your country, google now will not be so useful in your country too
Google at least exists in Latvia (evidenced by http://www.google.lv/ ), but I have no idea about when the Google Now service will be implemented.
I know this doesn't help much, but this is good for me to know, since I'm planning a visit to Latvia fairly soon, and even tossed around the idea of teaching English there.
you should set your device's language to English US, then go to apps, google search, app info, and delete all data, swipe you screen for google search, and you're good to go.

So I heard about the new lenses store for snapchat and I want to buy the lesnes before people who hate the idea make the developers take it down. But I am from Serbia and the lenses store is not available in my country. I tried the vpn app and it didnt work. Is there a way to bypass that. Maybe to camouflage my phone to another country. I dont know if this is the forum for this but I relly need help ?
Tor may be your option perhaps? It's actually an app called orbot in the app store ?
