[Q]Road trip app with places of interest - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for an app that does what field trip app does but for Canada.
Basically I want to plan a road trip point A to point B and have it show me interesting places to stop along the way.
Anyone know of such an app that is not American only?

According to my buddy who lives in Canada field trip works for him there, at least he says it does in the Alberta area for him anyway. I would however also recommend taking a look at the app TouristEye that marks out interesting places along the way.

Thanks shrimp208. The field trip app does work for me but it's made for U.S so there is nothing listed for many areas.
Same goes for the touristeye app you suggested. Too bad because it looks to be just what I was looking for. Thanks for the suggestion though.

After doing a little more research I came up with another app that is similar to TouristEye meant specifically for Canada called GoExplore Canada.

My wife calls it a Pop Tart

I would imagine every new Note owner goes through a period where people comment on the size of the note. My daughter posted on Facebook, that "I'm out of control." My wife calls it a Pop Tart. I'd like to think they're all just a bit jealous that I can read ebooks and watch TV or movies without squinting.
Anyway, a few rookie questions if you wouldn't mind:
I'm running Only One on my ATT I717 and love it, but trying to learn about modems. Is there a tutorial?
Also, is there a good GPS progam? I had TomTom on my 3GS but doesn't look like it's offered for Android.
Thanks
I prefer Navigon for gps. Most feautures and best forming. 2 others to look at are Ndrive and Sygic. What do you need to know about modems? Not much to tell unless you are running the phone on T-mobile. Looks like you might be since you mentioned 3gs. If you do then this thread might get you started. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573568
Thanks. I had an IPhone 3GS with TomTom.
Is 4G the same as LTE on ATT.
There's a thread about boosting data speed and they refer to UCLE2, 5, etc. Does this apply to ATT, or only T-Mobile?
I've heard a bit about Navigon and it seems solid but the reviews it gets don't seem all that reassuring for me to spend that kind of money. Google's navigation app has worked great for me and does more than enough. I've also used Waze. It's got a clean interface and nice traffic info plus it's free!

4G and LTE are totally different. 4G is an improved version of 3G. LTE is another technology. Not all areas have LTE.

If you have a data connection the Google is great. Waze looks ok but it needs data also and has all that social integration. Guessing this app is hard on the Note's battery. How does it run for you? If you want an offline gps app then you need to fork out the dough. No app is perfect for everyone and reviews are tough on paid gps apps. Navigon gets it done especially when you are in an area with no data.
I use Map Quest for gps works great and it's free.

Waze hasn't taxed my battery too bad but I can see how it would become a bit of a hog. True, I could do without the social integration as well but it isn't too bad. I've since resorted soley on the Google navigation app. I hear you about the offline capabilities, Navigon would be nice to have when data isn't available. I rarely don't have access to data so that hasn't posed much of a problem for me with gps. You're right, the choice definitely depends on the person.

Where ever I am around ppl I don't know or friends that havent seen my phone yet whenever I get it out the immediately ask if its a tablet or a phone...I'm kinda starting to get annoyed lol.
I was using Google maps walking navigation today...first time on this phone...on Rodeo Dr. in Beverly Hills. I know the accurancy is great (for whatever reason ICS is taking longer to get a lock), but I was stunned that the arrow was precisely where I was walking but the compass is crazy sensitive, looked like I was walking sideways at times.
So yea that's my little non helpful blurb on the subject...I should probably go to sleep since its 3am and I'm ranting...

Google maps is getting offline capabilities soon. At that point there won't be any need for another app.

Yep!
That's a bit much, don't you think. There are apps I'm sure to forward txts and number dialled. Not what URLs are typed I wouldn't have thought. I'll have a look and post back. You can also get GPS location apps which are hidden too... Sounds freaky and wrong all this.
You sure your not spying on somebody else other than your daughter?

GPS Spy MobileGPSpy and Secret SMS Replicator are two apps you might like to look at.
Is there any mobile app to check the data usage of all the connections on the same network.
Assume i have a wireless router, i want to check which connection is using how much data of my wireless network at real time through my mobile.
Damn bro, I feel for you. Check out "paw server" May not be exactly what you're looking for but has many features to put your mind at ease.

You can block certain URLs with rom toolbox pro, but could be, that there is a slimmer app to fulfill your task.
However, I guess you'll need root and an app to hide other apps.

dirty sites? facebook, etc , where they can communicate with others?
dirty sites? where reports shoow what happens in the world? tht htey do not know about the mass-murders in other countries?
i really, really do not get it... I'm a teenager (at the end where teenagers are called teenagers...) but, really... why not let em watch some XXX ? so they know "how to do it"....
when you want to block all 3x sites you should install a "per -ip" filter...to unblock only IP's that "meet your morality"
let me talk to em and i'll show them how to unblock sites and everything else you think is dirty. WITHOUT admin priivileges.

good can't always combat the naivete of youth. An alert parent can sense somethings up so if he/she feels the need to dig deeper than I'm glad such tools exist. Frankly that's part of the job. Kids in general don't do as well with parents who are always trying to be there buddy. Just be sure that if you do find something to not disclose methods and means and F it up for others
This is going nowhere fast.

Ah yes, the most awesome phone back in the days. My dad had it (and still has it), and i remember being so incredible jealous I had a couple of Symbian phones, like the Nokia 3230 and 6600 (aka the egg), but that's about it. I still have the 6600, but it got water damaged, so.. dead. I don't know much about Symbian anymore, but i liked to play around with them and install emulators and dive deep into the internet for those .SIS files

It is about licensing issues. To get around chasing up their own licensing deals they went through a company called Slacker (according to Engadget). Slacker is unavailable in my country (Australia) and so Samsung Milk is too. I believe Slacker is available in the UK but obviously I can't test this and frankly I'm too lazy to check. If that is the case you could reasonably expect Samsung to expand to the UK shortly if they make a deal with Slacker. Countries that don't have Slacker are probably in for a much longer wait.
Is it Samsung milk or coffee?

[Q] Use the Gear Fit as standalone

Dear Community,
i'd like to know if someone uses the Gear Fit as standalone device? Is it possible, or do i have to connect it certain times a day/week with a supported samsung device in order to keep it going? Does the Fit also displays the fitness statistics of several days?
Thanks for your answers,
brgds, zack
You do need to initialize it when you first get it so you would need the fit app at first but technically you could use it by itself afterwards. I feel it has enough options and self tracking to be a stand alone device.

I'm getting rid of my Samsung phone but want to keep the Fit. I just want to use the watch feature as a stand alone. But when I disconnected the fit from my phone, the time went off by a few hours. Is there anyway to adjust the time without the phone?
