I never used this in any of my phones I had. But my brother used it for his work, the other day he said android is the best just miss from his old nokia the gps app that work offline. It appears that now in android he needs to be online.
Is there any gps app that could help him without to go online?

there are plenty of 3rd party apps like navigon, sygic, copilot, ... but these cost relatively much.
You can store google maps for offline use but I don't think it works with navigation yet...
Those works offline?..thnxs
Pd: looks like none work for my country, Nicaragua.

I found this app but I don't know if it's good for navigating.
This app might be worth checking, seems to have offline storage and is free. (and nicaragua is part of the country list)
Try navigon or tom tom for android.both global coverage and latest maps.
I use gps test plus, grat app
there is plenty of apps in play store.
btw, im using papago!sg,my

Hi there, does any body know of an app for gps navigation and maps that doesn't need data to work. Useful if you got lost without coverage.
Thanks

I use Google Maps, it's storing maps in automatic since a few updates ago.
If you have cached at least the zone you're in with most levels of zoom you won't have any problem.
If not Maverick and Atlas (for pc, to create and store maps) is a valid alternative
If you were asking for a way to find your position withouth having a map cached in your sd and withouth data connection, i think you won't find any application able to do so.
i use navdroyd or mapdroyd, the former has routing while the latter has none
OruxMaps can use offline maps. I use finnish maps from retkikartta.fi but those are probably useless to you.
Thanks for all the replies. Will try each one and see which works
For me

NDrive works fine.
I use it a lot!
There's a lot of links at Google which guide you to install and use that.
Can the maps be downloaded on Galaxy s2 other than Google maps? Please suggest the best app.
Search the Market. Lots of navigation apps at varying prices there. Most store the maps locally on the phone so you don't need to have phone coverage in order to use them.

Hello XDA,
I'm from Iraq, and most apps are blocked from the Play Store for people here, and I really mean most, e.g Go Launcher, Angry Birds, Viber, even whatsapp.
The only solution used to be Market Enabler, but that stopped working a few months ago.
I've tried using proxies but the internet is slow enough on its own and with a proxy I usually get "Connection timed out." error from the play store.
Is there any way I could bypass this limitation? Because having a smart phone without any smart apps is useless.
Thanks!

The only thing I know of is a feature in rom toolbox,by jrummy (the full version), it has a " country changer" for the phone.
Would it be possible for you to get an ap "aptiode "off the net which is a link to apps people upload . In the west it's not the most moral app as there are alot of paid apps for free, which is wrong but if it allowed you to get them id say it was ok,all things considered.
Im sorry you have to live under such conditions brother.

Didn't find that tool in ROM Toolbox (maybe I have an outdated version).
Alt. markets are not as good as the Play Store (slow downloads, not allot of apps, sometimes not up to date).
I guess there's nothing to do now

The aptiode app is first class. It finds ANY APPand I mean any.its like an umbrella.it checks 100s of stores The day something comes out you will get it with it.
Also down loads as fast as google.
I swear by it. Try it . You will be v.glad you did.

GPS is independent of wifi or your data service...
google maps should work but if not then there are several others in the Play store... MapFactor being one of them
doesnt have navigation, but Maverick is nice for world GPS mappings
Stock Google Maps
Depending on the version you have, stock Google Maps can cache maps for offline use. If you're using the (slightly) older version, you can do it easily by pressing the menu key, selecting Make Available Offline and selecting the area you want to cache.
If you're using the newest Maps, you'll notice the option is gone. Instead, you'll have to zoom in over the area you want to cache, and type in "ok maps" into the search bar and press enter/go. A translucent dialog at the bottom of the screen should appear notifying you that the map has been cached.
Once cached; you should not require a internet connection to use maps. Though I have never actually used it offline, so I am not entirely sure what the experience is like. Also note that this does not save satellite/aerial imaging. Only navigational maps.
Hi
Having been frustrated by more recent versions of Google maps and losing the navigation icon from the drawer I have been constantly using the old Google Maps 6.14.4.
Problem was that Google Play was constantly offering to update it, annoyingly.
Titanium backup can detach apps from Play but it's not permanent.
I have now re signed the app and attach it here. I am using it with 4.4.2 kit kat and it's running fine. No update offers and no errors or FCs.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dttm1vnwzrzqbog/Maps_6.14.4a.apk
Please give it a try.
If you have Maps installed you will need to use titanium backup to uninstall it before installing this version. Otherwise this will just not install.
I hope someone finds it useful...

I don't like the navigation function in the maps myself. What is this old way with navi you speak of? I am curious.
The old version here has the added icon for navigation. It is a blue arrow like icon in the app drawer.
Using this icon you have a number of options. One of these is the option to go to the map. It is in the upper right side the screen. Selecting this will take you initially a 2d map. You can then select to have the traffic layer displayed.
As soon as you start driving the 2d map will change to 3d just like a normal sat nav with the benefit of having traffic.
The new versions of Google maps require you to have a destination set in navigation before you have 3d with traffic.
When I drive to work each day I don't need to be navigated there but I need to see how the traffic is. I travel 30 miles around the London orbital every day to work!

I remeber that there was a version which had a different signature, and thus you could install it alongside with current version of google maps.
Can you reupload it please if possible?

Please re-upload this for us.
Thanks.
I used an apk that I pulled from another Xda thread. It is named something other than Google and works perfectly. Same as 6.14.1
Will post as soon as I figure out how.
