My compass seems correct (from various compass apps) But the google maps direction doesn't seem to match what the compass is saying. Can anyone help?

maps for GPS?

I'm gonna throw this out and see what happens.
I just got Efficasoft GPS Utilities for my wizard. So far I like it, but it doesn't come with maps loaded on them. Which is the only thing that bothers me about it.
On their website, they say you can make maps using a google maps screen capture. but the biggest map I can generate is a 5 mile radius and that's no good to me.
Anyone have any ideas on getting some decent maps to work with it?

[help] Brut google map on TATTOO

Did anyone use Brut google map?
It supposes to provide offline navigation services. However, I could not search places or get any directions in this software.

map caching could be offline navigation or just another cache to see the maps quickly.. someone should try it and report.
Is navigation supported in your country? The maps itself works just fine. It downloads and can view offline on my phone.

Yes, I could view the cached map through brut. However, the offline navigation doesn't work. Every time trying to find places or directions, the screen just stopped there with no response.
The online navigation works fine here. I am just wondering, could this map really supply offline navigation services?
The navigation app works but without sound. Don't remember wether the places worked or not.

how do I set navigation to go to Igo?

I got Igo installed and working but when I use say yelp (app) and click on find direction, it gives me a list of everything else IE Navigon, Google maps etc.. but I don't see Igo as an option.

offline maps app

can anyone recommend an offline maps app that will work with the i5800 running cyanogenmod 7.2 mtd? all the ones i've tried won't load any maps. can access menus etc but the map is always just a black screen. google maps has no problem displaying maps and satellite images, but only with an active data connection.
i know there are old topics about offline maps for this phone, but the latest versions of the apps mentioned in them won't necessarily work on it anymore, so i'm wondering specifically which versions of offline maps apps work for you, so i can then find an .apk of that version. thanks!
Google maps can save maps for offline use.
Anyway, I am using Here beta from Microsoft. But I doubt that can run on Galaxy 3.
isn't only recent versions of google maps that allow saving maps for offline use? pretty sure i had to use quite an old .apk to get google maps to install.
