Actually the Colombo GPS Open project main interface supports only Italian and US Languages, but it can work worldwide, as long as it uses Google Navigation online Maps resources.
MAIN FEATURE: In the field, where state, city and address, are asked, you can ignore the first two, and in the field ADDRESS you can put whatever you want: pizza, bank, car repair, my friend tina and whatever you like...next, you'll have chance both to store the data or to pass them to Google Navigator, for searches and navigation.

+++++THE BIG FAQ+++++
CAN I NAVIGATE OFFLINE?
Many user asked me the same question: Is possible to use Colombo totally OFFLINE? The answer is..it depends on where you are located and the chance you have to put google maps of your area offline, seek in internet several packages to put google maps offline, and you have chance to do have a totally free offline gps navigator, using Colombo.
This software is intended "as-is", without any warranty, as EULA described.
Youtube video, example seeking a place in France:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVs8MB0T_OI
Youtube video, last version of Colombo GPS, uses the new Galaxy Note gps hardware for a turbo gps fix:

Hi all,
Finally got some spare time to share with you some importand Tips and Tricks:
How to download Map tiles easy:

02.Tap on the "Location" window and scroll down the new menu window that appears (Images 02-03)
03.Push "Download map" (Image 03)
04.A new menu appears where you can specify the needed resolution of the map, this is displayed by Zoom levels (Image 04). Tap download and wait until the map tile are being downloaded.
Advice: To download bigger map areas, zoom out the map view and do the above steps.
Download offline data (Voice guidance, POI library for Countries etc.):
01.From the main menu of Osmand tap on "Settings"
02.Then tap on "Offline Data" (Image 05)
03.A new window is displayed (Offline Data manager). There you can see what types of offline packages you already have, how much free space you have etc.
Tap on "Download" (Image 06)
04.On the new window you have the freedom to type in the desired Country and all the available Data for it is displayed below in the list (Vector map,Voice,Points Of Interests ...). Mark the data you want to download.
(Image07)

nice...downloading now...will be nice to see how this compares to others for offline navigation

Thank you "jsomby" for supporting the project by having bought the App from the Market.
This is a pre-version, not quite final for the market. Currently there is no change at all between 0.6.9 beta and 0.7.0 alpha, it is an internal naming procedure.
Best regards

Looking forward to hear your opinions.

new OsmAnd Navigation, Plugin
Hope you find the new plugin useful.

Love the app. It does a much better job of showing map details when zoomed out than Navfree. The one issue I am having is it constantly says rerouting when I am driving straight down the current rout. Sometime every 30 seconds. Any way to fix this?

OsmAnd doesn't reads the German addresses format... Is there a workaround?

OsmAnd doesn't reads the French addresses format... Is there a workaround ?
For instance this is the adress of a church in Paris 63 Rue De Caumartin 75009 Paris cannot be found

We're working on simplifying it more and more ...

Hi,
It is not clearly mentioned but the text below the seek bar (start and end of the interval) is editable, can be modified and thus able to refine the time range.
We're looking for more data (with permissions of course, your published works can be cited) to have a more consistent database; though, it is the beginning.
Let us know if you experienced issues (on ICS notably or crashes when the app starts).

Hi,
We'd like to offer more available data but not easy to obtain them !
We'd like to cover more time range ...
Stay tuned
If you have any suggestions, or if you experience any issue, do not hesitate to contact us !

If you dont have a prerelease version, at least you could post some screenshots so people have some ideea what are you taking about. Who knows maybe its a good nav app.
EDIT: now your OP its just fine, i only post it from the first place because i saw over 150 views of your thread and poor description.

sadly i have to post 10 replys before ican add pictures and download links to my theads. But i am on it.
So the link and pictures will follow in a bit. When you look in Google Play for "Clicknav" you can find it.
Cheers

I tend to agree. Even going to familiar places from unfamiliar ones wouldn't seem to need an app.
It may have been a programming exercise f for the op.

Its not necessary that one needs to be familiar with a route. Let's take an example ...
I go to Australia to visit my Bro (am unfamiliar with Australia as I live in the Middle East). Once am at his place I take his spare car and drive round the country side and need to get back home :s Had I set a marker before I left my bro's place, I could get directions easily. Ok, that was day 1. Day 2, I move out again ... remember I know my brother's place if I am near or about the locality but have no clue of where I am when I drive beyond a point. This could help me.
Now, if I have a widget on my launcher, I could use this right through my Australian trip.
That said, I have not tried this app yet. I do wish that this could tie up/ integrate with other offline map apps too such as Sygic, etc. When I am at my home, I use Google Maps a lot, but when I am touring, I use offline maps to save on my data. Would be good if I could go through Google maps on my PC, place markers and then have it pop up in my offline map application when I do not want to use Google maps.

I like this app, it is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for it.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

It's not only usefull for common places. You can add any place you want. For example for a trip preparation.
You can also search places in Google Maps and for later use you can send the place to the app and safe it.
I work a lot in different citys and i use it dayly to get around. If you live in a small town it is easy to find your way but in big citys which you are not familiar with it's always a nightmare.
And with the categories you can easily manage your addresses for example by work, friends, family, discos and so on.
There are a lot people whih are brilliant in navigation but i am a bit stupid with this. so i created the app to help people like me to find there way faster(one click or even with a widget) and more easy.

Hello everybody.
I hope you hav fun with my app.
I added some new features which makes it more usable and a little help for beginners.
Features:
- save of last category
- added help
- added menu
- added button in menu to get current gps position

Great app, but is there any way of getting rid of the annoying ads at the bottom?

In the newest version i made them already less anoying. Because in the past the ads pushed the buttons away. Now the buttons stay where they are so that you can't accidentally press the ads.
And if i would put them on top then the ads would push away the list and then you maybe navigate to a location you don't want.
And i wanted to give a free app with full functionality instead of a demo version.
So i use the ads because it cost me a lot of work to create this app and to make it runable on a lot of systems.(Hopefully it's bug free)

I'm liking the app so far you. I would gladly pay a $1 to have an ad free version. I had a few suggestions that hopefully could be added.
1. Even though when we save a location it saves the latitude and longitude can it also fill in the complete address for the location.
2. More labels notes is a good start phone would be another good one or even better you can add your own
3. maybe when you are in the location edit the button that you use to launch could instead be a street view image of the location.
4. option to change distance from km to miles for the US
5. options to sort addresses A-Z, distance from you etc...
6. more background colors and styles

Thanks a lot for those tips. After i read this i needed to implement some of this stuff in my app.
So here are the new features:
- automatic suggestions while you type in the address (only works with active internet connection)
- new labels like phone number, email and web
- new search function
- show distance in miles and feet
- sort locations by distance
- new info window with automatic functions like call, send email and start browser
Hope you have fun with the app. And please tell me if you have any trouble or if you like to see other stuff in the app.
PS.: I think about a payable version of the app without ads. But at the moment the amount of users is too small.
But you can change that

Now a new Version is out with new features.
- added public transport navigation
- fixed an import export bug
- small grafic changes
- when you share an address out of the new version of google maps 7.0 than the application will be able to read the information

REQUEST: Allow integration with KLets voice command

Hi,
First of all thanks for your great app. Really useful.
As many other users, I prefer to use a voice command when I'm on the road. So far the best for me is KLets and I was thinking if you could allow its developer to add support for your app in order to be able to launch a Clicknav's location item with the voice command: "Navigate to" + "location name".
There's a discussion in the support forum of KLets. Hopefully you could help us.
http://www.voicecontrolapp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13463&p=16631#p16631
The idea is to allow external access to the location list and be able to invoke a location item via Intents (maybe there's an easier way).
Thanks in advance

No more embarrassment when your phone rings loudly during a meeting or on a lecture, because you forgot to put your phone on silent mode.
No more worry about forgetting to sign a paper when you arrive to work, or getting the groceries from the store around the corner when you get home.
Relax and let GeoReality helps you.

Please guys this app is developed by me...
So I need your support to keep updating the app by replying to this post and give us your opinion about it.
and don't forget to give it a good rating on the market if you like it..
:good:

With GeoReality you can not only search for places but you can also manually add places to the Map (either by selecting them on the map, or by entering their latitude and longitude).
You can add your close friends locations with their contact info (phone number, photo) to the Map, then use the Camera as a visual browser to search for a contact..

Share your location with your friends on Facebook or send it as a message via Whatsapp, Viber, Messenger, or by SMS..
The message will include a link that can be opened with GeoReality to add your location to the recipient Map.
Meet your friend on the street and allow him to “see” where you are using the Camera.
Give your workplace address to a customer.
Send your location to an emergency or delivery service if you don’t know where you are or if the addressing system in your country is not efficient.
Send your friend the location of a restaurant or any place he asked you for, by changing your own location on the Map to that place.
By sending your location with SMS: No need for internet connection => better coverage and lower cost.
The location link in the message could be opened with any Maps app running on Android or iOS if the recipient doesn’t have GeoReality.

GeoReality vs Pokemon Go
Augmentation technology for different purposes...

GeoReality Theoretical Principal
GeoReality is an innovative project that combines both of Augmented and Virtual Reality in a single platform. It stands at the middle point where augmentation and virtualization meet, giving you the same experience either for your real or virtual location..
It can be seen as a combination of essential services from all of Google Maps, Google Street View and Google Earth with additional features. For example GeoReality is the only app that lets you navigate and get directions in Street View..
GeoReality exploits augmentation technology to its extremes.. Its not just about overlaying digital information over a camera perview: by using the Location Based Actions and Notifications feature the digital information will augment your physical location..
I'm still updating the app to reach the best user experience, but your HELP is really needed..
So if you have a question, suggestion or a critic, PLEASE leave a replay to this post and I will be glad to answer it..
Thanks

After using the new version for a week:
This app is one of best navigation apps I have ever seen.
It adds fun to everything and also it's pretty useful.
I used it last month in the Pokéwalks it adds more fun and I actually use it instead of the Pokémon Go app to reach the location of the Pokémon.
Thank you very much for this awesome app and for keeping updating it
Everyone should give it a try to see what I'm talking about

Geo Reality: Augmented Street View With Navigation:
By adding Augmented Navigation to Street View you can not only see the navigation path on the map, but also you can virtually walk that path using Street View, and follow a set of Waypoints to reach your destination, before you actually hit the road.

GeoReality - Camera/Map Dual View Mode
With the dual view mode you can merge the map with the camera preview or Street view giving you higher awareness about your location and the surrounding places shown using the augmentation technology.
Many design changes and improvements have been done to GeoReality app in its latest update, in addition to adding the dual view mode.
The dual view mode provides the basic map tools like navigating to the selected places without the need to switch to the map page.
You can also change your virtual location in the Street View by dragging the Pegman icon to the desired location.
The map orientation will be synchronized with camera orientation but you can change the map view type to pan and move the map to any other area.
If you have any question or suggestion please leave a reply..

Augmented Reality Navigation while Driving:
Navigate to any place using the mobile camera, just by following the navigation path waypoints and directions.
#GeoReality has optimized its navigation capabilities for driving mode by using voice directions and not depend solely on compass orientation -which could be affected by magnetic interference inside the car- but also use the GPS orientation.

Watch the demo.. It's just like an HUD in your car
