Im trying to figure out how to get it to work I downloaded the maps turned of my data and wifi...and tried to tyoe in an address but nothing it just kept searching for GPS is there something else I need to do?
google maps> menu button > make avaliable offline> select area > done
I think all the feature can do right now is download an area and keep the map so you can look at your surroundings. So basically it looks like its a paper map in digital form. The demo video Google put out seems to indicate this as well.

I'm looking for any recommendations for GPS apps that I can use with no internet connection. Preferably an app that would download the maps locally.
I'm currently using Sygic and I really like it but am curious if anyone has any other suggestions?
Thanks!

The new version of Google Maps has offline support though only for a small area not a whole country yet but if you're not travelling too far at a time you could download each area as you need it.

How could any offline GPS beat sygic besides for price? It almost gives the same features and experience as 'proper' gps units like Tomtom etc.
Plus using sygic on my xoom gave me a better experience using GPS than the TomTom units I have (due to using it on a 10" screen though)

Locus Pro is the best offline GPS App
Sygic is the best that I have found, although the routing can be a little flaky at times. I must say it has improved a great deal in the 2 years I've had it.
Navigon is the best in my opinion, but Sygic is also very good.
Sygic and Navigon both okay, Sygic speed limits way out of date in my area.

I recently purchased Sygic. It seems great, but I have one rather big complaint. Not sure if it's because I am from South Africa. But I can't seem to get the app to navigate to a specific address, eg 149 Field Street. It seems to only be able to take me to Field street and I don't have the option to choose a specific number. Something easily achieved in google maps, and Nokia Ovi Maps.
As you can understand navigating to a street is quite bad especially if it is a big street. Is this the best the app can navigate or is it because I am from South Africa? I've downloaded the local SA maps etc etc.

Definitely a regional problem with the map data. Works fine here.

I have the same screens as what you show, and if I type a number, it also shows only the "Any (start -> end)" field but when I press done, it accepts the number I set (it'd say "Any(149)" in your case I guess and direct you to that number).
I think Copilot is pretty good. It does depend on your region in terms of what maps are available and what works.

Happy with CoPilot here, all of europe. Works well has its own speed cameras and also accepts PocketGPSWorld camera databases.

I like Waze. I use it fairly often. Routing is a little hit n miss sometimes though (although it's getting better) and the crowd sourced hazard/traffic info is an interesting touch.
I *think* you have to have a data connection for routing though so prob doesn't count as offline.

Thanks everyone for the replies! I tried all of the suggested apps and Sygic and Navigon were tops to me. I think Sygic wins out, but I wanted to try others of course.
+1 for Sygic. I dunno what Google was thinking for releasing an offline map function that can't do at least turn-by-turn.

I have been using Songza on my iPhone 4 in the US but now it's not available in Google Play in my region even though it's a free app. Can anyone share the apk or point me to a site that allows me to download it? Thanks.

Use google for searching the APK, just search for "songza apk", the first one to appear is the apk4 .us site, donwload it and try to use it. If it says that you are outside the US, assuming you are rooted, just download Orbot, a Tor's Client. I live in Argentina and like many others, can't use Songza or Pandora, but this little app do the trick. Search it on the Play Store.
Once you launch it for the first time it ask you for rooted permissions, then it ask you for the apps that will go trhough Orbot, click the "Select Apps.." button, wait for the list of apps installed on your phone and then check Songza, go back and when it shows you the Large button press for 2 seconds, it begins to connect to the Tor network, once it goes Green.....ALELLUYA!!!!!
Luanch again Songza and there you go listening for your favorites tunes!!!!
Remember to go through the Options in Orbot for uncheck the "Start with the system" option.
By the way, with that little bastard of Orbot, you can make any app "shows" you on the US, like I said before, I live in Argentina, and besides Songza and Pandora, I use Last.fm, Hulu, Rdio, and so on...
Good luck!
So I don't have any intention of Rooting my phone and I took the OTA update today that gave me Android 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1.
I can't remember if on Sense 4.0 in the App Association menu if YouTube was in there. It is in Sense 4.1 and gives 2 options for YouTube Links. Use the Browser or use the YouTube App.
The Problem I'm having is I have it set to use the YouTube App however it will only use the browser. I have sent a YouTube link to my phone via Text and Gmail and both times I click on it, it will open the browser. Also in the Facebook App YouTube links will open the browser and not the app. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
I just checked and mine is set to you tube and videos open directly in you tube. I haven't been able to verify Facebook yet. Sorry, I'm not much of a help and I hope you can figure it out. Maybe try rebooting by holding the power button down for 10 sec. since the phone has gone through a lot of changes.

I sent myself a link to my Gmail and it opened the app as normal. Facebook opens the browser. And while in the browser clicking on links still uses the browser. I had to install chrome and make it the default so this would be resolved.

Facebook opens in the browser for me too, but this doesn't bother me enough to switch to chrome. But thank you for the info.

I know what you mean. I can't believe HTC wouldnt make an app association work with its own browser.

The map association seems to have the same issue. I have the map association set to open maps, but when I click on directions from the browser it opens up the website and not the app.
This is more of a headache than the YouTube association. Anyone else having the same issue, or have a solution I can try?

I can confirm that this an issue with the stock browser and map links. Seems that the stock browser overrides the app associations. I have installed Chrome and everything now opens in the appropriate app. If you install chrome you must make it the default browser

I am looking for a ROM that cuts out a lot of unnecessary things...it may not even exist. My Vibrant no longer has cell service. But I do use it for music, games and surfing the web sometimes. So, cutting the phone app and everything related to wireless comm (except WiFi of course) to help free up memory for the other things would be nice. Much like Rock box (I think is the name) does for iOS devices like iPhone. Or, any suggestions. I am currently using the CyanogenMod nightlies for 10.1. Thanks for the attention!

Unfortunately, this ROM also cut the android apps out...I am having difficulty finding them again. Cyanogenmod's for 2.2 of course aren't working. This would be a good ROM if I still had access to the Play store when connected to WiFi. Can't even find anythign ont he forum inless my search terms aren't tweaked well enough.
