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.

I have 2 android devices one is htc hd2 with core droid rom and other is galaxy tab 7" with kratos rom. After installing new market i cant find google maps by searching it from the market it shows at the top google sky map i enter it from the related apps part it shows google maps there i click it go to google maps and can install it without an issue. But by searching i cant see it. Also this is same for Street View or Google Earth. Also android market web page i can see google maps but when i select any of my device it disapears from the list. What is happening this is really bs !!!!.
I didn't realize google maps has an offline mode now. I tried it recently but it won't ever finish a search when you type in a destination. I think it's trying to get my location first?
Is there a workaround?
Hmm no replies. Actually I had google maps launched previously before I went offline. I just tried to launch it now and it times out saying this application requires a working network connection.
Then how is one supposed to use google maps offline mode?!
You must run Google maps once with a network connection after it is upgraded to re-cache maps. It only caches maps, not any place or other data.

Ok maybe I was premature in trying this feature. But now the latest version of google maps says it has offline mode. I chose an area and downloaded. The area I chose was somehwhat big, my city and immediately surrounding cities. All the street names are there but yet it's still not searchable. I thought maybe it doesn't have the address numbers but even searching by intersections doesn't work.
So the offline mode is just a simple map to look at?!
Yes.

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.
I install Google Map in Remix OS 2.0 on my desktop, but it cannot show the location and the app hang. ...
Please help.

Same problem here. I guess we need to wait for the next OS release to get this fixed. By the way, Google earth and Sygic are working.
Best, maris
I have exatly the same problems. Google Maps and any apps using Google Maps don't work. The problem is probably as Remix doesn't recognize properly location.

Sorry to hear about that. Do you have any other google apps installed? Go to settings and applications. Select google play store. Delete data. Open chrome and type in the search field "google play services", should take you to the google play store and it should update google play services. Install the "google" app and make sure the cards are working (to make sure play services is working correctly). Go back to settings and then put location settings on "high accuracy". Make sure google maps is set on full screen. Then launch google maps.
Nothing help. Google Services can't be updated as it's ... updated to the latest version. Apk Google works with some little problems but it works. Maps are in full screen - doesn't help. Cashe cleaned - same, nothing. Maybe next Remix version will change it.
Sampe problem here, it's cannot load the map
Google maps cannot detect your location as you are using desktop and it does not have a gps or and google maps search for gps and gets crashed because theres no gps so eighter remix os have to disable gps but it cant because some devices have gps
Same problem here Laptops do not have a GPS. I have set the location services to Network WIFI only and still cant find my location. Google maps crashed and all other apps that use location will not give me my location.
Hi,
I have been using Google Maps on my 4.2 Android Car DVD (Odin Unbranded) for over a year.
Recently it has stopped working properly and it shows this screen:
https://imgur.com/a/YuBlf
I have tried:
- Older Google Maps Version
- Restart
- Erase Cache and "Uninstall and reinstall"
- Uninstall Google Play Services
The positioning works fine, but whenever trying to "find directions, it does that"
The weird thing is, is that is randomly sometimes just works, however with every Maps update, it's extremely slow on this 1 GB ram device. Is there some kind of modified LITE google maps version? (Google Maps Go does not provide real time navigation)
