google map offline maps is possible?????

i've installed googlemaps beta and is wonderful but to use this software as tomtom is too expansive (sownload map from internet). it's could be possible to go with offline map?
thx

As far as i know... no.
The google maps downloads the map data on the fly (as you scroll).
I have a 5GB data plan, so it's not a big problem for me

yes, on the fly.
in france, we have illimythic, it's an unlimited data so it's perfect for google maps, rss news, internet .... and it's only 6 euros more than a normal subscription.

You lucky ......

You might wanna read up on this post for using google maps offline

search for a software named: Terracrosser.

Search google for a program called Google Navigator lets you download maps on phone you can select an area of a map and it will download that area with all zoom levels and views, its very good. Plus it has neat features like street view (before google maps had it) kml creation and other stuff.

Use the google navigator.

Is it worth my $59? I really want offline satmaps, might try the hacks (proxy to download map tiles, not the illegal hacks of Navigator)

Which is now called Global Navigator... this program uses google maps info to feed and allows offline map support, you can also download a certain area of the map at a defined zoom level. its great!

There is a news regarding that it will be possible to use Google Maps offline.
I have heard this news two days ago. Is it possible now? Is it true?
If not, is there any way to do so?
Thanks by now...

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.

rmaps app - import entire country map??

I found the Rmaps app because I'm going on holiday. Some problems with the maps though.
Is it possible to import an entire country map (google maps) into Rmaps? I found the pc software gmapcatcher, but don't know how to export it usably to Rmaps.
I know that hovering above the area in Rmaps caches it, but then I'd have to do that in different zoom levels, taking a lot of time. Is there a way to set the maximum amount of memory Rmaps can use to cache maps?
Hoping someone can help. The different guides out there are not very clear.
I know that with Mapdroyd I can download different country maps. But I prefer Google maps over the maps that Mapdroyd uses.

Sorry I think post is in wrong place, can someone move it to android apps?

[Q] is there an offline navigation or map?

hello guys,
I'm looking for an offline navigation or maps app because its very expensive to use data on my phone where i live!! so any ideas???
thanks

You can pre cache some maps by going into labs on the maps application and it should download the map for the area

Hello my friends,
i look for an offline navi too but for the cm7
Any idea?
Yours sincerely
BS

You can use "Sygic" Application.. that has some awesome offline maps details..
Second is the "MyTrails" from Market for Free.. You can use its inbuilt Map downloader to download maps of your area with GMapMaker or Buy the application for 3$ and download the maps with map downloder builtin the application....
Google will help u understand

I use copilot

What maps are you talking about?
Google maps are cached on your device upto a certain extent, if you enable that option.
If you mean the HTC maps (from Locations), you cannot use them here.
As for third party maps, like Sygic Aura (the one i use personally), you only have to download the app after purchase, and it downloads the maps automatically over Wifi using a built in Downloader into its own folder on the sd card (varies with the map application and manufacturer)

Ok. I used the sense build-in navigation from HTC and saved the maps. I thought i can use them in cm7 too.
Thx for your answer
