I was just curious as to whether or not anyone was actually trying to make this happen because Google maps is awesome but i use iGO just because of the voiced directions. So is this even possible or is it gonna be limited to android phones?

It's only an update with Buzz(messaging thingy) included...no navigation features like android version as yet
Is there a way the hack the windows mobile google maps for navigation ?
I mean like navstarter or launcher for android.
i don't think so.. Google maps navigation is seen as a separate application, and is handled in that way by android as well.
It makes more sense to wait for Google's official release. I suspect they will want to keep the feature confined to the android market for at least a year before making it available on other platforms.
In a way, we get a better deal for our patience. We will get a more polished version of their software, since most problems would already have been encountered and fixed on android builds.
Google Navigator is updated and supported by pdafun. I personally think it's a bit strange to use 2 separate applications, both based on google's maps, ESPECIALLY considering that google maps already has navigation support.
um, I've got it installed on my phone... It seems to find me, but when I zoom in past the world view, it never updates the maps... it will lock on my GPS. Just double checked, but it's called google navigator...

I can't download
can you please upload to a different server?
Thank you
I always thought the navigation feature in google maps is still in beta? Hence the reason they are restricting it's availablilty until it's out of beta at least.
i am using Bing on my HD2, and it works flawlessly.
at times when i dont even get 3G it works fine on EDGE,
its free and has turn by turn navigation.
Google Navigator by PDAfun is not the application in question. That is a third party app that is not supported by Google and has recently changed the name of its application to Global Navigator at Google's request.
Google Maps Navigation is an extremely powerful application developed by Google and, as stated before, is only available on Android devices.

But dosen´t have real street view...
And the thread is about Google Navigation, so please don´t flame is with your stupid quote
We can just hope Google makes an app for WinMo soon
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.

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
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
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.

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!

Copilot is a paid application. Is there any link from where I can download it free.
I have a big problem with my Nexus S. I bought it from US but actually i live in Turkey. And some programs don't work in my country like navigation, system info widget, even original music player(ICS). What should i do to solve these annoying problems? I couldn't manage to use market enabler. Its just not working (NexusBeam_4.1.0)
You can use alternative apps instead of google's.
Navigation officially works in US and Europe as of now. There is a mod of google maps that lets you use navigation anywhere.
Brut mod is the mod he mentioned. It is available in xda.

I have an i9505G (Google Edition actual device) and IR apps are working; so kernel/driver DO expose IR (using just 3rd party apps but the ones stating G4 compatible are working fine and IR is working)
Just an FYI ; no kernel or driver changes needed

+1 for this one. I just installed it and set it up on my stock i9505G running 4.3. It has support for plenty of obscure TVs and cable boxes. So far, its the best IR app I've tried, and its free.
Yeppers watch on works. So do many other Samsung apps. Shealth and Svoice are also working. I don't really likes watchon but if does work. Took forever to setup so that my Sony receiver would control sound while using dish for channels and of course turn on off the tv
Huawei Mediapad stock ICS 4.0.3
Only real mod done Xposed Framework but no modules are active.
Any 3rd party app I try that uses the Google maps for it's map function won't show any maps in it.
Yet Google maps itself does. the Google is at version 6.6.
I know there's a newer version but when I update to that, when I try to open Google maps it shows a screen
that has a button "accept & continue". When I click it it shows a notification saying it can't connect to network yet everything else CAN connect to the network.
I don't really care whether the google maps works or not but I need it to work for where I do use it in the 3rd party apps.
Has anyone heard of this problem? Or has any kind of idea of what to do?

Just use "OSM" you ca download it using the F-Froid store. In my opinion google the maps ap is really crappy. OSM provides online + offline maps so you wont need a internet connection after downlaoding the maps you needs.
The app I use the most that uses maps is Waze and that has it's own map system but I do like to use other apps that use the google map service.
How would that F-Droid help? It looks like it uses some other kind of system. The other apps I use look like they call the google service.

OSM uses free "open source maps" that means O.S.M.
I can't seem to find this OSM or openstreetmap (which I see other apps referring to) on there anywhere to even try it.
Have you downloaded F-Droid app and installed it on your phone?

Oh, ok. So it works like the Xposed Framework.
Some apps are only available through this F-Droid interface itself then, correct?

You have to try it as I use another phone, but i install it always in that way no matter which phone.
I think I'll save that for a last resort
I haven't been having much luck getting things back to the way they were after I try something new.
If I can't find ANY other way to fix google's map service then I might try that.
Thanks.
Anyone else?

That means u use google's maps by choice? :crying:
I'm only using the google maps in the apps that call on google's service.
Waze it what I use most and it has it's own map system.
I want to save it as a last resort because I'm afraid of breaking anything else and not being able to get back.
Well I uninstalled the Xposed Framework and tested to see if that was what was doing it but it isn't.
So I put it back in.
Comeon! Someone has to have an idea on what could be causing it and how I can make the Google maps work right in other apps again.

Ok LS.xD, I did a little more looking at FDroid and from what I've seen it looks like it's kind of a separate market for apps.
If I were to install it would I still be able to use Play store?
And if I install it and find tha open street maps will that replace the ggogle map api service for 3rd party apps?
If it does and I eventually find a fix for the google api and decide I'd rather go back to that will uninstalling it return control back to Google?
I tried installing the gapps package for ics hoping that would overwrite whatever the problem is to no avail.
I've had over 150 views on this and no-one can give me any ideas?
What would you try if it were your device?
