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

Since when does/can a unit based on Windows Mobile run an Android app, as this is the case with BackCountry Navigator ???

Is it faster than the previous versions on cm7?
Well, I didn't see any noticable upgrade in speed. Still you get the newest version
what about screen resolution
when i update google maps from market the map is not that clear and takes more time to load on cm7 but flashed version of gapps-mdpi-20110301-signed works fine. am i the only one facing this problem?
i have attached screen shots of mdpi and updated one please help
That is common to all maps versions above 5.0. Fonts are not clear on small screen devices. But there is a option to enable large fonts in Labs. Enabling it makes the fonts more readable. But still other signs are blurry. What is the maps version in that gapps bundle you mentioned?

Does navigation work on countries which normally don't ?
I noticed that Google latitude is no longer on the Play store. What other good tracking apps do you recommend?
I just need to know where my teenager is for his own safety. We both have Andriod based phones.
Isn't latitude a part of Google maps app? I think you should open maps, tap on the top left and you'll get the latitude option there

After reading all comments and requests about this on G+, maybe somebody will be interested in our small app MapTrack. NO registration on third-party servers is needed to manage or share tracks. User shares his track by direct link to people he wants, and manage his tracks in Google Docs. The user has full control of his own data and people follow him in usual browser. Each point of the track has time , location and some other useful info. The app also has an option to record offline tracks. Perfect to stay in touch with your family in real time and your followers don't need G+ or any special app - just internet browser. Give it a try or contact us with any questions:

Google Maps doesn't offer Offline Maps for China, Here Maps also revoke their support for China Mainland. Is there any Offline Maps App which support China and is easy to use for english speaking foreigner? Baidu Maps is nice, but only usuable with some chinese language skills.
OSM based Apps aren't a alternative as their Map coverage is very limited.
There was a "hacked" Google Maps App couple of years ago which allow to download offline maps for every country, but it's not working anymore. May there are other "hacked" Apps for this, now?
Or is it possible to download Chinese Offline Maps with Google Maps using a VPN from inside China?

Hello and welcome to the XDA Forums Q&A section.
I found an app that is hopefully what you are looking for (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.mapof.china&hl=en). If you intend to use this while walking it is probably not recommended since a guy wrote a comment on the app saying:
Your app is excellent however I have found that when I put in the log/lat coordinates from google maps of specific point they do not match. They seem to be out by 500 metres. For example google map reference of a point in Beijing is 39.9075797 / 116.399314 The same location on your app has is : 39.90618 / 116.39313 I would assume that the coordinates from google are the accurate ones. After trying this with a number of different locations it seems like this 500 metere offset is across the board and perhaps the starting reference point in your app is not precise enough.

If the app is not what you are looking for, kindly reply and enjoy your stay!
Hopefully I helped you and if I did, hit thanks .
ThisApp based on OSM, so the map quality isn't good. OSM is banned in China, thats why nobody help to improve map data there.
As many of you know, the latest google maps adopts ar to give directions through signs appearing on camera. Did anybody find a way to make it work on our x2? Other arcore app are working ok (like measure, etc) on our device.
Google Maps with ar needs the user to be Local Guides level 5 and above and (unless a recent update changed it) to be on the google maps beta program.
