I want that App too, but stupid Microsoft made the Marketplace so that I get to a localized version (Dutch in my case). Almost no apps there...
Can you post the Glympse .cab somewhere?
Cheers,

I too would like to try the glympse app. However, it's not available in the Netherlands. Could someone post a cab file? I found a link in another thread, but that has reached it's limit of 10. Thanks in advance!
Glympse website...
http://www.glympse.com/
Enjoy.
EDIT: No download link at their website, sorry
Explain to me how I can make a cab file with the Glympse application, and I'll make you one...

im looking for the ability to create a map of just my city but that is just an option
Attached Googlemaps. Free app. Pretty good resolution, should help you with your city thing.
Google is really cool but the IE toolbar is evil.
Thanks for this app !
Just for the sake of completeness check the Live Search 2.5 from Microsoft as well. My impression is that it's a bit slower that G, but has some nice extra features.

Hi
try www.nav4all.com
There is a free tracking program called GPSed that will track you via GPS an give many stats. You can then upload and view your track on Google earth. It is very handy for bikers, runners, and such.
hello,
could any1 help me with a link to any program or map that can help me to navigate by foot in Paris ?
Google Maps are not really that helpfull as they don`t show street names or the main attractions on the side of the streets. (or if they do I don`t know how to set it)
thank you in advance
I know there are some Sat Nav apps, such as CoPilot, TomTom and Navigon. I haven't tried any of them but I too am interested in these types of apps so maybe someone can point us to a review or something.
Have you tried Live Search from Microsoft .
Very good and I think just beats Google Maps.
Most other apps are paid apps and you can view webs sites that sell them to see what they can do .
I like the look of Navmii as a relative new comer to the arena.

Hello people, i present you a new Augmented Reality App on the Android Market:
FriendsRadar is a mobile App with which you can find your friends* in the easiest way with the augmented reality view (AR). Think about that, how many times are you in a place trying to meet some friends but you can not locate them (Don't be afraid about localization, we considered your privacy concerns, therefore you can activate your GPS for few minutes then turn it off, you can select what friend can receive your position, etc., YOU have the control).
You also have the GoogleMaps view like GoogleLatitude to locate yourself and your friends, and a ListView where you can manage your 5 or 300 friends.
One click over the friends and you can chat with them, send them a SMS, EMAIL or call them too.
It works on all Android (1.6 Version and beyond) mobile devices that have an Internet connection and a GPS receiver.
*The App works at the moment with google accounts. In the future others will be supported, so rate it according to it, be fear please!
Do you have pics or a video of it in action? It sounds cool I'd just like to see how it works
How can I insert here a picture?
I think like because I'm a new user here i cant post outside links, so you can search for the FriendsRadar page on facebook, there are some pictures, or google it.

You need to get to 8 posts to be able to place links.
Or you can upload to other albums such as picasa or imageshack,then post the image URL.

I own Samsung Omnia W running on WP7.5 Refresh. After I purchased my handset, I installed gMaps, so I didnt bother to have a look at inbuilt Maps app provided by Windows Phone.
I read that Bing Maps is also as good as Google Maps. Only problem is I dont know how to use it. When I open Maps, I can see option to get my current location. I dont see any option to discover places (Hotels, Parks, etc like in gMaps), nor I see any option to search any location, and direction/navigation to it.
Do I need to install any more app to utilise inbuilt Maps application. Is there any guide available to use Maps. Please point me to link, or post here.
Thanks.
Id use Nokia Maps rather than Bing
Sent from my HD7 using Board Express

Ya, but I use Samsung Omnia W, and its not unlocked. So I have to rely on inbuilt Bing Maps.

I found above link in which it has given details of Maps usage. Maps really looks nice in this link, but unfortunately in my phone, I can see only option "me" with Circle to show my location. I cant get any other options like Local Scout, Get Directions, Find Address.
In above link it is mentioned that certain feature may not work for all regions. I wonder if Bing Maps has no support for India!
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/how-to/wp7/basics/feature-and-service-availability
go read that and weep afterwards :laugh:
for the time being, i'd suggest to change the language of the browser and search (setup > language > last item in the list) to "ENGLISH (united states)", that way you'll unlock several options not available to us third-world-peasants-lumpenproletariat laugh like qr code search and local scout, however, be aware that there's no guarantee that it will work where you live. for instance, here i don't get results for shops and restaurants, but events and attractions work. ultimately it's useless for this place, but it looks so cool... :crying:

Hey Thanks! It actually worked!!!
And guess what after changing language to English (US) {earlier I used English (UK)}, even Scout is working fine for India. I can see nearby Hotels, Attractions through Maps, Bing Search.
Place search, Navigation is also now working.
Mapify helps sharing your location, by using pictures of Google street view with avatars for any location you choose. If you want to let your friend know where to pick you up, or you just want to share your location, Mapify is the perfect app for you. Its capture button allows you to choose the subject from a predefined list and then offers you sharing options, be it Facebook, Whatsapp, Viber or any other app you are just seconds away from sharing your location.
Mapify uses GPS to find your location, and if your location is supported by Google Street view then Mapify will automatically open in the street view, all you have to do is add an avatar in the exact place you are and press the capture button in order to share. The shared picture is also sent with a link to open a map of the selected location.
In case street view is not supported in your location, a map will be opened of your location and you can still add the avatars on the map and share it!
Please note that this is not the official Google Street View application nor are we affiliated with them in any way.
Download from Play store

We are working on a fix for an issue that may cause the change to current location if trying to share a location other then you current location.:cyclops:

P.S. more avatar will be nice

Almost finished!
