So am looking for a GPS navigation app for my HTC Desire, i know there is a few to choose from: NDrive, CoPilot, Sygic, Navigon, but not sure which to choose, any recommendations?
No Good All is working
This question don't have answer ! All is working ! The question is what map you want?
Mainly looking for maps of Norway and/or Scandinavia.

Do u know any navi app for Japan?
I just use Google Navigation and it's worked perfectly every time I've used it so far. The only feature I'd like that it doesn't have is saving a list of favorite places and being able to manually name them.

You could star some locations. Star = favorite in all Google's services. But I don't see possibility to name them.
Or you could create contacts with addresses - then you will be able to name them. But yeah, this is quite ugly.
A UK Magazine did a review of Nav software recently and said Google Navigation was the best and got you there in the quickest amount of time. Downside was that it requires 3G to work (Not a big deal today really is it?)

I'm using Navigon with the Europe map, mainly for when I cross the borders and roaming is out of the question.
Otherwise, I like Google Navigation.
Google navigation isn't available for Norway yet, so can't use it. Gave Navigon a try, since they have a trial, seems to be rather nice, though only possible to get English voice it seems, would rather have it in Norwegian.

Yeah if you could name your starred locations it would be perfect. Now you just have a huge list of addresses and you don't remember what's what.
It does if you're travelling to overseas, the romaing data charges are still killing people...
Perhaps Mobile Atlas Creator + RMaps / BigPlanet Tracks would be a practical solution.
It allows you to produce an offline map database and load into the SD card.
I'm using navigon which works very well on my x10. The best one in my opinion, and I've tried a few. Sort of similar to igo in wm6.

is there and app that can use google maps to show my location and get my coordinates and still be able to insert coordinates ...and other options like record tracks ...it would be very helpfull when going fishing thanks
Look for one of any Geocaching applications, tracking programs, etc.. You clearly haven't even looked in the Market yet.
Be aware that actively tracking takes a lot of battery. If you're just looking for "where did I start" you could launch it before you hit the dock, drop a waypoint, then when you're coming back in navigate back to that point. Even a "where is my car" app would work for that.
i searched everywhere the best i could find is mymapseditor
Google My Tracks combined with Gmaps and Google Map Editor. Awesome.

Look again. Like I said in the first post, any geocaching program will do it. You said "place a point on a map" and I assume you also want to navigate back to it, but regardless, ANY geocaching program will do that. Among many others, including "where is my car" type apps. And NO they do not require creating GPX.
Good grief.

Anyone figured out yet how to change the distance units in Places? Everything else is in metric, but I get the damn distances Places in ****ing miles.
also where do you put filter on Google map search?
eg how can I limit search
oh wait there is a little icon down the bottom left which shows me the search list page.
and yes I see the distance is in eerr.. miles.. I mean who uses that old system..

Indeed, latitude is in miles as well.
...and google still has yet to update the android maps API. The google map-kit for iPhone is still light years ahead of the android.
It's impossible to write a decent map app that performs anywhere near as well as google maps.
I would like to see my own layers. Pics of my kids doing stuff at parks, skateboarding, etc. That would be pretty cool. Point at the ocean and see my kid do an off the top on a wave from last spring. Hah.
Just a thought.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
You can do that now. You just can't get information about individual map tiles, even something as simple as onMapFinishedLoading() doesn't exist. That means your layers will (often) load before the map is loaded, which looks like crap.
Thank you very much.I Like it
Curious. Does it pull xif data from Picasa for the image overlay? You would think that would be pretty easy to pull off. I mean I would subscribe to other folks layers to see what they do, where they go,etc. So, if I follow a skateboarder and he shares his layer I can see what trick he did at places I also skate. Video embed would be even more awesome.

I installed a NAND rom and was great, but it lacks of most of google apps like Gmail and Google Maps...
I have tried searching but could not find a topic to match what I'm after.
Does anyone know of a way to get a satellite views with GPS support for use offline? Ideally I could do with GPX (routes/tracks) file support as well.
As far as I know google earth is only available for android and does not have offline cacheing - I would have to make my phone dual boot as well (I need windows for some things)
I have tried J2ME for google maps but cannot scroll and I don't think can use gpx routes.
To make it clear what I'd like is to view my current position on a satellite map with a route (gpx file) shown on there as well. I need to be able to do this without access to a phone network.
It's a shame I can't just run google earth from my HD2 since that's exactly what I'm after.
Hi mate,
how to run google earth without network access?? this wont work on your pc either.
but maybe this is helpful for you:
i recently discovered that google maps on winmo is capable to display .kmz/kml files. these are google earth exports with e.g. a track.
if you just need to display a small area, load the track in google maps. on next start up your last loaded "picture" is cached and therefore u dont need network access. otherwise if u want to navigate you should get something proper like tt or igo.
edit: this should be your match: http://www.gps-mate.de/de/produkte/GPS-Mate/beschreibung.php (using osm)

I have been trying open mobile maps but cannot find how to get satellite maps on there. I found a 1 year old thread on here about changing the maps.xml file and tried that but either doesn't work or I am missing something. There is an option at add maps with a URL but I don't know if this would work with google satellite maps and I can't find out what the url shoudl be.

NoniGPSPlot for "PocketPC" is running perfectly on my HD2 (and my old Trinity).
Tip: Don't remember to quit it when you don't need it anymore 'cause GPS uses lots of battery power. Tap on the main screen for a few seconds to get to the main menu.
I dont know what you are really searching for...
But I think best solution is navicomputer.com

Do you need a satellite view of the whole world?
Zoom to the interresting place an then adjust the slider how deep (that means how many zoom levels of) the images have to be downloaded.

I've been using NaviComputer 0.96 on my oversea trips. I would download maps (can be satellite maps too) before leaving, add POI and have no problem using if offline while on oversea trips. Best of all, it's free. It can do gpx tracks and log file too.
Hi,
anyone can recommend any application (if it exists) that would be able to read GPX tracks and give me a view on the watch whether I am on track or not? In best case over a map. Doesn't have to be stand alone. I usually have my phone with me anyway. I just don't want to be pulling out my phone every now and then.
Thanks.
Hey,
I´m interested in the exact same thing. Need it for biking, hiking and more.
Also I was wondering if there is a possibility to sync it with google maps or an other Navigation App on my Phone. Would love to start Maps on my Phone type in my destination and follow it on the watch. So that I don`t have to pull out my Phone again and again if I´m lost in the city for example.
Thanks
I'm interested in this too. Also, I know that Viewranger offer an Android app but not a Tizen compatible one. Does anyone know of a mapping app suitable for hiking etc. (i.e. will work with gpx route files or similar) that is available for Tizen?
I found out something already. Komoot seems to be pretty close. Although it works on Gear S3, it doesn't seem to offer this functionality yet on the watch. Offers it on sister Android application though. I sent them question/request today on this. They seem to be listening to requests from user community so perhaps they listen and act. Maybe it helps if you write them too.

Komoot have advised me that they already have an app compatible with the Gear. This is what they said:
Hi Gareth we already have done that! You can get the Gear app extension you need for the komoot app to communicate with your watch in the Samsung Gear Store. Can you tell me, which phone you are using? Best regards Daniela

I told her I've just ordered my S3 Frontier from Amazon.es and hope to get it next week, so will try their app then and report back.
Of course they have. That's what I mention above ("it works on Gear S3") but it doesn't offer the funcionality we are looking for. You can't see GPX track on watch together with your position (and map underneath it in best case) so you can follow it. I assume it offers just navigation (shows only direction signs) but Komoot doesn't navigate on external GPX tracks.
I got e-mail moment ago from them too saying:
Currently not, but you can post your suggestion in our forum here:

Hi all, I am not sure if anyone managed to get any progress on this but I am happy to inform you that finally there is an application that does what we have been looking for. It is called Gear Navigator (http://mobiteka.pl/index.php/component/k2/item/257-navigator) so feel free to test. There are still some things that can be improved but the essential features are there. I have been running it since beginning of Frebruary and I am very satisfied. Feel free to provide your comments and findings.

With Gear Navigation you can open GPX tracks and you get the map on your watch, better than Komoot in that way. It would be nice if it could work without the phone and without internet, even by just showing the tracks and your position, even without the surrounding map. That would make it more "hiker friendly" for those situations in which you may not have the phone (or need to keep it off to save battery) and you don't have any internet.
I see that the new Gear Navigation Standalone states to have GPX features, but I can't figure out how to upload a GPX to the watch or to the app!
Anyone tried it?
Well, I didn't use it without internet connection yet but I was expecting that the only limitation would be that I won!'t see the actual map but still see the track and my position. Do you say you tried but it doesn't work that way?

You're right, it seems to work even withouth internet. It keeps the map that's in cache, so if you preloaded the area you would even have the map. That's pretty sweet, kind of what the Fenix 5x does for just 800 euros!
That's great news. I was actually cooperating with the Gear Navigator developer and pursuaded him to develop the GPX feature. I did highlight to him that although the feature does what I wanted, the biggest gap I see is the inability to use the app without data connection. I even think the maps from Google are not the best for outdoor activities. He told me he will consider it but I am not very optimistic about it as it would be too much work for him and it seems that the demand is quite small.
Hi,
New owner of a samsung gear, i'm looking for what you discuss about!
Gear navigator is quiet good and seems the better!!! But something missing for me, i would like to import gpx from another place in order to follow it on the map, bit i didn't sucess.
If someone have some advice to do it, it would be great!!
Hi,
It's easy. You just click on the GPX file (in file browser, not GPX Navigator) a choose to open it in Gear Navigator.
R.
Okay, I'm trying to locate this app. Is it "Gear Navigator Standalone"? I only have a Bluetooth model so does this app need a watch with a data connection? Or does it need a phone and does it only work with Samsung phones? I've got a Blackberry Priv which is a BB ANDROID phone.
While the price of $2.99 is not outrageous, I really don't want to spend money if it is not going to work (no refund in the samsung store????).
JurekDJ, when you mention just above, open the file in the file browser, if this on a phone or on the watch - as you may be able to tell, I'm fairly new to the watch.
Any other info would be most helpful.
