Hello xda,
I've downloaded Navigon 4.1.1, and got it to work, but there is one particular map which used to be on Navigon's list of downloadable maps, and now it isn't.
However, I've found a torrent that has that map.
If I copy the .map file it doesn't show up.
Any idea of what other things I have to change to get it to work?
Try a search using Google ...
Yes Mittaa, I tried a Google search. Couldn't find anything, that's why I posted here. That's why I have a post count of 3, because I use search engines extensively.
If you have a problem related to a legally downloaded Navigon app, then contact Navigon
What I mean is that you have to find answers else where.
XDA-developers dislike this kind of "illegal" actvities and I agree
I wasn't talking about illegal activities. Just that there used to be a map on their list of downloadable maps and then it wasn't. It was taken off the list and there was no reason given why the map wasn't on the list anymore. I found the map file, and I was just asking if there was a way to put it in Navigon. Because you buy Navigon once and then you can download any map you please.
It's no problem now, because it's back on the map downloads list. Downloaded it and works like a charm.

Hi
I am traveling to some parts of Asia where apps like Tomtom do not have maps and I am thinking if it is possible to have Google maps copied to the SD card and use the HTC GPS and Compass for navigation.Not just as a map but like a point to point tuen like Tomtom.
Rgds
Google maps are online only.
Garmin Mobile XT could be an idea. They have quite a large range of maps, including Asia, as far as I know.
Have you looked at iGo by NavnGo. This is their Asia coverage:

Don´t remember the app name either... also, there seem to be conversion tools to "translate" open street maps into commercial navigation readable formats.
Anything similar to translate Google maps to readable format?
Hello,
I am currently using Aura, but to be honest the interface is very complicated.
Not easy to save or make a trip, or save a favourite place...
Is there anywhere a manual to understand how to use it?
Other Sygic programs have better controls, but Aura runs smoother on my Milestone...
Thanks!

Probably i am the only one who uses Aura in here!

Looks like theres a user guide here:
http://www.sygic.com/en/support
Downloaded the 7 day trial. Seems pretty straight forward to me to plan a trip. Shame theres no Google search though. Not tested it on an actual trip yet either!
Anyone know how to search for a place in Aura? I mean, in Google maps/ Navigation I can search for say Buckingham Palace and I get the route. But in Aura I have to type in the street no., block, building and all sorts of info I don't know.
Any help will be appreciated as Aura it seems is the only one has updated maps for the middle east.
Thanks

Click on navigate to and then click nearby POIs
PS POI means point of interest
There is also a manual inside the app. Check -> info -> user guide. It opens a pdf file with your pdf viewer (you can also check the Aura folder on your storage for that file). So you have your manual always on your phone! And with one of the latest versions of Sygic GPS Navigation they already introduced Google Local Search. All you have to know is the city where you are looking for the place you want to navigate to.
I've been trying to find a nav app that will let me import pre-planned trips.
In my research I found only two; 1) copilot, 2) HTC Locations with Trips tab.
Well I can't stand #1, and it seems that #2 was only available in Asia, unless I'm missing something? it seems like a feature that should be standard as it has since the first days of dedicated gps devices but it still hasn't arrived on Android, not even in the Google suite of apps despite the constant posts in the Google forums requesting this function.
being able to create a specific route or record a route for the purpose of sharing and reuse I don't think is a lot to ask.
until this happens their will always be a market for a dedicated GPS.

Try this … Orux maps … market link https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5vcnV4Lm9ydXhtYXBzIl0.
Web site has a help forum … http://www.oruxmaps.com/index_en.html
I only use it for Aviation and I import maps with preplanned flights.
It supports a number of different maps that can be side loaded on your sdcard so no data connection is needed.
Edit ... I forgot to add it's Free
that's a nice non-data tracker, like Google's My Tracks without the 3g map, thx..... but I still can't record for vehicle nav with text to speech which is what I'd really like.

I purchased Navigon assuming it would do this, but it doesn't. Great app otherwise.

that looks like a perfect companion to my Colorado GPS! I tracked our whole summer holiday with it, but it's be great to be able to see that track on a mobile device (that's a bit larger than that 2-something inch screen that my Colorado has )
I am planning on using my Prime in the car and would like to know what is the best "offline" alternative to Google Navigation. I have heard about Sygic but do not have personal experience with it.
Any suggestion?

You are able to download the Google maps for offline use, have you tried doing that with your tablet? All it should need after download is GPS...

Well, it's not that simple actually. You can't download entire maps. You can pre-cache 10 square mile areas around locations.
Works well if you know where you're going .

Sorry, I wasn't aware of that. How do I do that? All I see is an option to cache map area. How can I cache the whole USA map ?
try Orux maps from the market, its an open source alternative and as far as I am aware you can create maps of any size for offline use. And its free (or donation!).

Have you looked into the new additions to Google Maps? I think they're increasing the offline capabilities (according to their talk yesterday or the day before).
http://www.androidcentral.com/google-maps-android-getting-offline-access
Although google maps is excellent and the new features are needed, orux maps includes google maps within along with just about every other map source available.
I havent heard of any apps that do offline route planning and navigation though, thats a different story.
Oruxmaps looks good but I don't think it does what I'm looking for. I need complete "turn by turn" navigation offline (just like car navigation ).

Sygic seems to do everything that I want but I would like to get some opinions about it before I spend a good chunk of change on it

I bought sygic. There's a free time-limited market d/l and my USA upgrade was $20. I've used it on one trip and it was very a functional turn-by-turn experience. Maps are by Tom-Tom.
i wish you could cache more than 10 square miles in google maps... 10 just never seems like enough!
Downloaded the trial version of Sygic and took it for a spin. Without the GPS dongle I lost GPS connection randomly but with the dongle I was able to complete a 10 mile journey with Voice guidance without any issue.

Well, SYGIC is great. Me and a collegue both tested NAVIGON and SYGIC and SYGIC is by far the winner!
Google Maps "offline" is not recommendable. You only will download a 10x10 tile. Not more!
Google announced they will be adding full offline support (not just a 10x10 tile), but it's not out yet.

ZANavi for android.
It's a fork from NAVIT. Free, using free Openstreetmaps, you can download entire countries, or even the whole world lol. There is a possibility to donwload only a limited region on navit's website (google it).
Not as sexy as paid versions but it does the job.
And people speaking about google maps please provide correct info. Offline maps in it is only an anounce, with no ETA.
I use GoPilot Live Pro and like it. I think they have a free version you can try, but eventually, you will want to go to the PRO version. If you find a map error, you can submit a correction to them and they will fix it. In addition to that, I also run WAZE...it's an online map service, but has the best info on Police/traffic congestion/accidents because it's totally based on user reporting. I don't know why, but their routing is attrocious. I use CoPilot for my directions, and check in on Waze to check the road conditions ahead. To use Waze, I just tether my phone to the Prime.
Bob
I haven't really used it myself for navigation, but Osmand is superb for viewing maps and tracking. It is easy to download vector maps for each country from within the app and there is a wide variety of online maps. The navigation is provided by Cloud made, YOURS, OpenRouteService, or the offline option.
I've tried Navit, and it works, but the UI is disgusting.
yeah try ZANavi. its free, its offline.
and if you find the time help to translate:

Hello friends,
A small glitch I found on my reno 10x, (pcm00) google map doesn't know my location and no matter what permission i gave to google map, it still does not auto locate and update my location.
When i was using nokia 7 plus (which i also bought in china), google map worked fine and were able to auto locate my location, as long I am using a vpn.
Normally this is not an issue since other local Chinese map apps work perfect, but i am travelling to Germany soon, so this gets me worry a bit.
I have not had a chance to try google map outside of China yet, and am wondering if this situation will remained even if im not in China.
Anyone else have this phone that is currently in a place with firewall-free internet access and can give me any conformation? Thanks, really appreciate it.

I'm using the same phone in the US. No vpn on AT&T. I don't have a problem with Google maps except that I can't turn on location history for timeline. Otherwise location works fine. I've used Google maps dozen of times for directions and no problems locating me.
