I have been searching for gps/navigation applications that support offline usage, aka installing maps on the device where no internet is required for the application to work..
I found NavFree USA, which apparently supports offline mode.
Is this a good GPS application?
If you have any other you think is good/better, please list them. Paid applications or not. NavFree USA does not require a payment to install; it is free.
Please comment the GPS/navigation applications you have had experiences with.
Thank you,

Never tried NavFree, but you could take a look at this, too:

It has a pretty good rating
I have tried NavFree for many months now, and I find it to be very good
I can highly recommend it to anyone who wants a offline GPS Navigation system.
Thanks, I'm on holiday now in the USA and this is going to very very handy, thought Google navigation would work with the maps cached but unfortunately not, still need a data connection for that.
Going to test Navfree today, hopefully won't get lost anymore!

Hey Gang,
Is there a plugin/overlay for google maps that will map where I have been. Be great when I am in the woods on my ATV
Hi There
Almost any/every gps application can record you route which you just then import into google earth.... It's just a matter of finding which one you prefer from the many hundreds of apps available.

I've used trackme and really like it. There are threads on here of his. Here's his website. You can download trips or make your own server and view it there.

You may also want to have a look at NaviComputer, in this same forum.
I agree
I have to agree that Navicomputer is the best general tracker. It may lack some of the more advanced features but is very quick and creating maps for it is very simple. Also you can create Open Street Maps and Virtual Earth Satellite maps. Out of all the programs I've tried, and I've tried a few (GPS Tuner, Navicomputer, Pathway) this is the best.
I have tried this one and it generates the kml for google earth

Try this BackCountry Navigator :good:
Since when does/can a unit based on Windows Mobile run an Android app, as this is the case with BackCountry Navigator ???
Sorry if the question has already been asked and or answered but I have been looking and maybe I just don't know what to search for.
I have Verizons Samsung S3
SCH-I535
Android: 4.1.2
I am looking for an app (paid or free) I can install on my device that has the ability to track via gps, and either turn on or off the microphone with the ability to take pictures via camera OR use the video camera (with sound of course)
Thank You for any responses
Try any one of the popular security apps currently out...such as... Lookout, Avast, Norton, NQ, AVG, not sure but MAYBE McAfee, Avira, Webroot, B-Secure Tracker, QuickHeal Mobile Security, Vipre, TrackMyDroid, GPS Tracking Pro, GRIP Security, CMC, Symantec, 12Track..... Again that is just a FEW of whats available lol....and so ya know EVERY SINGLE one of these tracking/security apps can be found in the Google Play Store... I hope that this helped ya put in someway bubba...take care
Thanks
I went with mspy.com pro plan. will let you know how it works
iKeyMonitor is worth trying
iKeyMonitor is a great invisible spy app for Android. It offers free version for testing. I suggest you have a try!:victory:
I need a download link.
I want my phone to use cell towers (and GPS when I turn it on) to keep track of me so that if I give someone a URL, they will always be able to see where I am (approximately) on a Google Map.
It seems that Real Time GPS Tracker *kind of* does this, but it requires GPS to be on and not just cell towers. It also renders it on it's own iframed map, not a stand-alone Google Map.

Look up "Glympse" in the google play store.
Who do you want to share this with? If you trust them on your google account, google does it automatically.

I used Instamapper for years until it shut down. I *believe* this is a "rebirth" of the same service and app, but I am not 100% sure.
Was a great app, haven't tried the new one.

Hello,
I have a Motorola Moto G dual sim which I bought in the US. The phone is not rooted but all the aps and everything works well except the fact that now I am in China and this phone does not support the local 3g or 4g(it doesn't have 4G anyway). I only get Edge connection. Due to this fact I decided to buy a local phone that has dual sim and chinese 4G. I got myself a Vivo Y27 with and android 4.4 and a local Funtouch ROM. The phone is fast and very good but, there is always a but; Google play has been banned in China and all the phones made for the chinese market have this restriction. The restriction does not apply to «blocking websites or app» as with a good VPN service I can access them. The restriction is most probably built in the ROM. I have been able to download Google play but the application won’t start. I get the message that this application has been prohibited. Some applications I am not even able to download, even through a VPN.
All my apps that are useful rely on google services, so even if the services are «blocked» I can use them through a VPN. I do use them on my MotoG but because of the lack of faster connection it is almost useless unless I am on wifi.
How can this problem be solved? Any suggestion? Will rooting the Vivo and then replacing Funtouch with another ROM solve the problem?
I´ve searched all the android forums regarding rooting this device but I haven´t been able to find it anywhere. Unfortunately I do not read chinese and when I talk to people here I get the information that Google has been prohibited since last mid year(august/september 2014)
Anybody can help me or point me in the right direction?
The way it is now this phone is useless for me as I need it to pair with all the services I subscribe.
Anyone? please?
Hi everybody
I've just bought a new phone, Samsung galaxy xcover3,which I really like. I come from a rooted and quite modded ascend p6. I've a question regarding probably all android devices, especially the devices running kitkat.
Is there a way, WITHOUT ROOTING, to exclude google location services, using alternative services for network and wifi positioning?
I really don't like google's "big brother like" terms and conditions. I don't want to be forced to contribute to Google's wifi and cells mapping if I want to use a feature (wifi positioning) which I paid for and bought.
I'd like to choose what service to use (Mozilla location, or maybe the osm project), without rooting my device (there's also the warranty problem, but that's another story). I'm also getting frustrated with that popup saying "help google improve location services": I can flag "don't show this again" only if I agree, that's crazy.
What's your opinion about this, guys???
