CoPilot 7 maps setup

Hello everybody,
I've got a problem with installing maps on the xda Orbit 2 device.
I have a default UK and Ireland maps on it, but I'm from Balkan and want to using Balkan maps or Central European maps.
I tried to intstall maps like most users suggest by posting the link (in pdf). But I didn't succeed with it.
So please help me, how to install other map region on the device.
Thanks
Luke

Does anyone know how to do that?

you get a copilot central disk with the orbit 2. you need to purchase the map via this app.

Have you purchased the maps you want?

GARMIN for xperia x10 android

I'm desperately searching for GARMIN for android (xperia x10)

why? is the navigation app not sufficient? i find it much smoother and more up to date (AND FREE) in comparison to any Smartphone based TBT navigation software so far.

well. Current navigation needs GPRS connection. In rooming is very expensive downloading maps. Garmin's maps are on SD card

I must admit, it would be nice if you can download a certain area of maps.
For example, if you are going on holiday, it would be nice to have the maps for Spain already on your SD card so that when you are lost, you can get back to your hotel/restaurant/pub etc. Not necessarily just for TBT, but top down maps too.
I do think (for local journeys) the maps downloads before the navigation starts, so that if you do lose 3g/GPRS signal you still have a visual map, and it also downloads the street view level of the destination (in my experience, it loads very quickly when you reach your destination, so I believe it is pre-downloaded)
Maybe its something that Google would take into consideration if people asked them for it (or a dev for 'hacked' versions of Google maps)
EDIT: should also note that Garmin isn't yet released on Android. They will soon be releasing a Garmin Android phone. Maybe after that they will release the TBT Nav as a standalone app

There are other apps that not need GPRS to work.
Navigon
Ndrive
SygicMobile
iGO (not for x10 at the moment)
CoPilot8
They are not free but you can buy individual country maps.

hopla - Which country are you in? Google maps works really well in the UK and a few other places now - and doesn't need GPRS.

Just download iGO but Motonav version and you will be very satisfied ! I am using it and it is great. Dont know if I can put some links to cracked versions but just google "iGO Motonav" and download version for Milestone ( 854x480 ).
Cheers

i would like to use the Garmin GPS navigation too. The motonav isnt that good to me. I have compared with the current navigon GPS and motonav, and found out that motonav usually points for longer distance travel.
note: i am living in US.

Copilot is the one working the best so far,the map are updated and it work flawlessly on the x10

i would like garmin for my android as well, i love google maps and the navigation, but garmin maps supports custom maps such as for western canada being able to search by LSD (Legal Subdivision) which normally looks like 12-14-15-18w4 anyone who works oilfield, or outside of a city office uses it in AB/SK/MB
Garmin seems to be the only mapping that comes with or has an add-on for inputing those type of addresses

Here in Asia (Thailand / Cambo / Laos / Vietnam) Garmin is the only routing game in town really..
So all other suggestions, while valid for some territories, are moot if we dont have maps for the region.

to do routing you still need a data plan...all brute force does is cache the map to the area you've browsed and it gives you your current location
also, browsing the map at different zoom levels takes forever

If you need custom maps for android the solution is Navitel, ($28 in Android market), make your map with gpsmapedit (version free) and export in Navitel map (with routing, and no need data plan). It´s very easy.

co-pilot 8 pro has been excellent. If they release a tomtom version well thats the one I like best. I travel alot so tomtom has been perfect for me.

You should check out navigon, I use it myself and I'm very impressed, I tried some of the others but didn't like them. It's worth a look.

Recommend me a good navigation app?

I used to use TomTom maps on Winmo phones... but i dont think it's on Android yet?
So whats another good map/navigation app? It cant be like google maps where it relies on a net connection to download the map, it needs to have the map with the app itself like TomTom does. It takes up a load of space, but i've got a large SD card so not a problem.

I use copilot and sometimes motonav. Motonav is bit slower than copilot, both speedcams and full postcodes.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

yeah there are many navigation apps e.g.
copilot
navigon
ndrive
motonav
google navigation
sygic mobile maps
iGo my Way
I've tested a lot of them and my favorites are definitely Copilot, NDrive, Google.
If you've updated Google Maps via Market, you've received this blue arrow in
the app list. And the navigation with it works like charm. Also Copilot works great.
Much more features and options, but sometimes it shows me stupid ways to drive.
The very best I think is NDrive. Fast and beautiful app and the best navigation.
So if you don't want to pay, use Google. If you are willed to pay you should
try Copilot Live or NDrive 10

+1 for CoPilot

I'm using NDrive. The maps are very complete even on remote locations. Well at least in Europe, I haven't tryed it anywhere else.
It works offline. My data connection is very costly here, I don't always get service and it drains the battery so offline was a must for me.
Google works nice except for the online thing. I haven't tryed copilot.

Thanks, i tried 3 of them... Copilot, Ndrive, and Sygic Mobile Maps...
Copilot i think is the best, the most complete and polished. Followed closely by Ndrive.
But i've not really tested them while driving yet so i'll have to see what one has the best routes...

For some reason copilot is not working properly one my phone. It's keep crashing, i am unable to download maps for uk. There are even some comments one android market regarding this application, some users say they got the same problem after last update. I will give ndrive a try, maybe itd will worki for uk.

http://www.alk.eu.com/images/copilot/laneindicator-sm.png <= does this view work for you on the x10? mine always looks very buggy (because of the big screen i guess)

Looking for Navigation application
hi guys,
For past few days I am looking for a navigation application which doesnt cost the data charges. I found one such application in Papago but not working in my Xperia X10 rooted mobile on version A.0.24.
Would appreciate if someone can help me installing a nice navigation app...
//Gaurav

You should try MOTONAV it has resolution 854x480 fits X10 perfectly, but its kind of hard to find maps for it.

EDIT:wrong post selection, sorry!

Offline GPS navigation?

I'll probably be putting mango on my hd2 now that the rtm is out. I need offline gps cause I don't have data. on android I've always used copilot. so for WP7, I've found Garmin StreetPilot and Outdoor Navigation by GPS tuner. with garmin you can only download maps for each route, correct? are there any other options? which is the best? I'm in the US.
thanks.

You can download Navigon from this link and you will see on the pages were to get the maps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099662&page=62

You don't want Outdoor Navigation, which is more a tracker tool. GPSTuner have Turn-by-Turn, which is a true navigation app and also allows you to download maps.

navigon I think is currently the only gps offline solution for wp7

Turn by Turn from GPS Tuner will work with downloaded maps, but the navigation calculations still requires a data connection for the original route calculations, and for any on the fly recalculations should you miss a turn.
I have downloaded the maps for my local area (about 300km strip of the coast) and it works really well. Only issue is when I am out of mobile coverage area and miss a turn I am stuffed.

You also have the various versions of Navigation by GPS Tuner LLC (country or continent maps, eg Navigation Europe -don't confuse with Navigon Europe).

I have a question I use Turn by Turn Navigation and i have the map downloaded. However i need an internet connection for the app to track my location..weird? Is there a way that i don't need an internet connection to use gps?

question for you all,as i am planing to go in a short vacation to europe,
and i dont think i will have data plan there ,so my question is if i have a gps software installed in my tablet do i need any internet connection ?
do the motorola have gps built in?
thank you,

You need a connection to get directions, once you have the directions you can break the connection. It's called agps...and you better hope you don't need to change your route.

thank you for your reply!
is there any offline maps programs,for france and belgium?
that maybe i still see the map if i am not connected anywhere?
thanks

Yes it does have GPS built in. Purchase copilot live for the country you are going to visit. Copilot only needs to download data once then you don't need data again.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

Oh and you can change routes as often as you like. Copilot will reroute without internet connection as its maps are preloaded. It does use a lot of space though. USA maps are about 1.5g.

+1 for copilot. I have that on my wifi xoom and works great without data. You just need preloaded maps and ur set

If you only want to see the map, you can use a labs-feature in google maps to download map tiles to your device so they are still available if you go offline.
However, if you're with T-Mobile USA, your xoom should be an everest (MZ601), right? That should be compatible with european networks and you can get prepaid flat rate plans starting at around 10€... I got one of those back when I visited London a few years back, paid like 8£... totally worth it

thanks guys for all that good info!
i got this one here on amazon
i dont know exactly the model number ,but in settings /about it say :
xoom,android ver:4.0.3 build IML77
now,can that copilot be installed on microsd card? i only have 2 gb ,can i add a 16gb microsd to it?
as for the main memory i have 26gb free.
thanks

for 10euro will be nice also to have data connection,i will be for about 12 days in europe.

Maybe a bit late but what are you planing on using the map for, you could always just use google maps and pre-cache the area's you want to visit, perhaps before you leave the hotel or where ever your stopping via a wifi connection?

The Xoom does have GPS built in. You need to cache maps if you want to navigate. If you open the map application without wifi access or caching maps you will see your position on a blank grid.

Look for Navfree on the Market, works very well, can be used off line as when you install it before you go get the maps you want / need...also now available for USA too, uses free maps and "crowd sourcing corrections"
I use it on both the Atrix and Xoom

+1 for Navfree by Navmii on the Market.
Works very well in the UK, so imagine it should be fine for other countries in Europe.
You just need to switch on GPS, it doesn't need an active data connection since you have to pre-download the entire map for the country to your sd card.

thanks guys for your advice,
will use navfree,

Caching map files before you go or from your hotel wifi works for Google Maps, as I discovered during a recent trip to England.
Another option is Mapdroyd. The maps aren't hi-res, but perfectly acceptable for navigation.

ok,thanks for that info will try,will go loaded with all app that i can find,to make sure i dont get lost there...

In the UK, the best of all is MM Tracker which loads up qct files of real OS maps. You need to find the non encrypted versions of these though... Google maps in the UK are pretty hopeless with lots of errors. They are also just road map style charts, rather than proper maps.
