Hi
Are there any simple offline GPS softwares? I'm looking for a software which gives me my coordinates, speed and the direction which I'm going, but doesn't need online maps. Smart2go can be used offline if you downloaded some maps, but somehow it doesn't seem that accurate.
I've been only able to find non-free aplications which are a bit outdated.
Thanks.
Can Google Map do that?
Nope. Google Maps complains about not being connected to the internet I open it.
Sorry double reply...
Why not use the TomTom GPS driver from version 3 this will do everything you ask for http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=13

Hiya: I use Noni GPS Plot; it's still a beta application I think, but it's very useful when I'm walking. It's a bit like an old Garmin I had - you can set a waypoint, wander around (and it draws a track behind you) and set co-ordinates to head back to the car when you're done.
You can input maps but you don't have to.

Hey ho,
I just wanted to share this information with you:
In fact I can only tell that O2 customers in Germany benefit, but the official Telmap page names a lot of other providers. You may try to connect your provider.
o2 Germany - Telmap Navigation
Official customers overview
This is an off-board navigation, which is reloading the data consistently from the Internet. That this does not result in a money pit or a reduction, data traffic caused by Telmap is free in the O2 network.
The map presented in a simplistic form comes from NavQTech and is kept up to date. Next, the software has a library of attractions, hotels, restaurants and shops which are located in the vicinity of your position. The instructions are not only visually but also read out to mitigate the risk when driving.
The software is available for Android, Blackberry OS, Windows Mobile & Symbain and other phones from Sony Ericsson and LG (the only requirement is a GPS receiver). A WebOS version will appear around the middle of this year as it was not yet fully developed.

After a few days of testing I can say: AWESOME!!!
Works like a charm, with up-to-date traffic information. No crashes, no lagging.
Definitely worth a try.
edit:
About 90 views and not a single word. That makes me kind of sad.

I was using Google Maps in Tenn and if it didn't get a signal it didn't show the map. There should be some way to set it to cache a certain area. Perhaps a 50 mile radius of my location.
Also does anyone know of a maritime app that would have local lakes kept in memory. I tired one on the market that would have cost 10 or so bucks but it did not have Lake Norris on it.
IGO works....

Ive never had a problem out of google nav (live in knoxville)
but i too have been searching for a nav software with lake/river info on it
Easy
Get CoPilot. Has worked pretty well on the EVO. Not sure it's been updated for 2.2, it took a **** on me when I tried to load it up after a Titanium restore from 2.1. *Edit, after updating it works fine with 2.2

Brut Navigation is a good option too....really all it is is a hack for google nav where it's all the same but can save maps and a few other options and its free
my dad has copilot on his evo and it works pretty well
LocationDetector and AdvancedLocationDetector are the greatest Android applications that allow you to find any place in the World!
Use it to find your car, or may be your hotel, mashrooms places, places in the forest, sea, rivers, etc
Save any places. Then find it using navigator, see it on Google maps, check weather, send via SMS, use compass to detect where is North, West etc. Now you can do it only with one application - AdvancedLocationDetector!
Enjoy!
Google Play: LocationDetector AdvancedLocationDetector

Hello,
I have bought the Chinese PHABLET and before returning it or attempting to root (if failed) trying to find fix to GPS location services on it.
(not rooted, hence very many apps dont work and most importantly GooglePlay doesn't install/work properly, more about it : .xda-developers.com/showthread.php ?t=2637534 )

It was meant to have Maps and Location working, but it doesn't
General Location services settings
In having all of the features on- it works by locating device, but never gets SatNav accuracy of GPS (only by wifi location)
So back to the alternative ways through GPS EPO settings
Set correctly, I believe
and by luck I discovered, that this tablet using Mediatek components
In having settings as such it keeps on looking for GPS and no application managed to fix GPS positions...
in GPS a-GPS settings are two choices either NOKIA
or GOOGLE
Could somebody guide towards the answer regarding GPS not fixing?
Thanks!
Here are few more screen-shots:
I managed to get satellites to be in a view of few different apps, though none locks to them in neither configuration...
Is it permanent/terminal in such circumstances?
Whilst Android is primarily google's proprietary OS, used in non approved (supported of) device makes it useless in ever so many aspects, unless I'd find a way to make it think- it is googlePlay supported?
Or is it something in GPS configuration I could do, before attempting to root it?
Thanks!
Hi guys,
I just made my first Android app and I'll really appreciate it if you gentleman can give it a whirl and provide feedback, here or on the Play Store.
The app uses your GPS to clock your acceleration and top speed.
How does it work?
Switch on GPS
Open app,
Wait for GPS to lock, and stand completely still
Then, do a drag race to record your best:
0-60km/h time
0-100km/h time
Quarter mile time
Top speed
Stand still again to reset the clock. Repeat as many times as you'd like - the app will automatically only save your best times.
I would really appreciate if you can install my app, test it and rate it (in app, play store, or here).
My two main concerns now are:
How accurately the GPS works on different devices. I myself have tested on Samsung Galaxy S4 upwards, and LG2 upwards. The LG's couldn't get an accurate enough GPS lock. Please use the Rate page in the app to rate your GPS accuracy - I get then get your rating plus the device model you used.
The legality of the app, and the likelihood of being sued if there is an accident. I do have an in-app disclaimer that the user needs to accept before using the app.
iOS version coming soon, and I know the UI still needs lots of work.
