Best GPS navigation application?

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.

You forget IGO

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?)

if I find something I'll post here

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.

[HOW-TO] Add your City in MIUI Weather App

Hello everybody,
when I searched the web for a tutorial how to add a city to MIUI-Weather app and found nothing yet, I started to try to add my own city to the database of MIUI. I was succesful and I thought that it would be a good idea to write a tutorial how to add your own city to the db.
You need the following:
root
SQLite Database Browser: sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/
OR Root Explorer && SQlite Editor (thanks to Fisher_9511)
I'm not responsible if you damage your phone, brick it or it does not start anymore. You're the one who's responsible for your device. You should know what you do
I explain the process on the database of Europe and Germany, because there's nothing added for Germany.
First thing to do is to download the database of your desired location. Save it somewhere where you find it again. Now start "SQLite Database Browser" and open the database. It should now look like thid (Attached Image 1). Switch to the tab "Browse Data" and select "hotcity" as the table (Attached Image 2).
Now search for the abbreviation of your country, in my case it's "DE" for "Deutschland" (Germany). Remember the abbreviation and the posID of your country. So in my case I need "DE" and "110000001"
Now head over to weather.com and search for your city, where you live in. In my case I search for "Cloppenburg, Germany". Now you should have an url like this: "weather.com/weather/today/GMXX0017:1:GM". The part which is necessary is "GMXX0017", the GM stands for Germany, the XX is a placeholder I think and 0017 is the ID we need.
Now we have the posID of our country and the ID of our city. Now we have to sum the posID and the ID of our city. In my case it's "110000001" + "0017" which ends up in "110000018". This is the posID for our city.
Now we switch back again to our SQLite Database Browser and select "city" as our table (Attached Image 3). Now we have to go to the last page (Attached Image 7) and look for the last ID used in the database. In my case it's "16619" (Attached Image 4), so the next ID is "16620".
Now we create a new record and insert all our information we have, this happens when you double click the specific field of the new added empty line.
This should look like this (Attached Image 5).
When you entered every information it should look like this (Attached Image 6). Save your database and push it back to your device.
Code:
adb push miui_city_entire_eu.db /data/data/com.miui.weather/databases/miui_city.db
Now you should be able to select your city in the weather app and use the app effeicient.
(I hope it was the right forum )

I don't know Vietnam Post ID so MIUI weather fail to update.

LOL!
Well, to be honest, this is not the full part of the issue, there is more backend to this app which you have no clue about.
Good luck with your inaccurate ramblings about the id's.
We actually made those up and make it correspond to our backend system for picking up data.
Therefore if the PosID is not in our backend the app wont work anyway! So, everything you've said is a load of crap
If the PosID was to conform we'd have to add them to the backend system and also in addition to this in order of the last valid posIDs not your own.
Could an admin please close this thread down! it's heading no where without the MIUI-DEV backend anyway so its pointless chatter.

Damn thank god for the polite dev's. Why not explain this to him nice instead of being an ass ?

Why are you so rude with this guy, mobiusdigital?? he is just trying to make that app a little better, for those who desire more of it!! It's not neccesary for you to be such an indecent person, not even if you were the master developer for that app...
I think you should appologize "Technolover"... Beeing a "professional" dev. (as I think you are), also demands to be more polite... there are other ways to say the things you just wrote... or is that everyone in your country are that rude?? Gosh!!

I was going to install this app, but after the absolutely putrid attitude of the dev above, I will not. Sorry, pal.

Followed all instructions to the letter, but the MIUI weather app won't open, well I hope that MIUI Devs will add some functionnality to MIUI Weather to add our own cities, or something similar.
for the record
using HTC HD2, with last MIUI and living in France.

WOW that was rude

Oh look, its the clown who thinks he owns miui. He wanted to sell the weather widget because he done a few dirty hacks. Also he was considering to sell some language packs. Myself and others co confronted him and our posts got deleted and I got banned.
You should see his attitude in miui-dev

WOW! I was really keen to try the app out, had been checking their site every couple of weeks to see if my country was in there yet. After mobiousdigital's reply, I'm disgusted.

How can I find the posID of country out of Europe? Like Asia country?

Ok, I used SQLite Editor from android and it's now working

Sorry, but this works only for posID's which are in the "hotcity" table. I don't know the real backend of the app but I think that the posID's of the countries are just there to change them to the letters which wetter.com uses (e.g.: GMXX0017 for Cloppenburg).

Nexus S and Google Now

I opened this thread because I did not find any relevant information about google now in the other threads.
I realized that Google Now in Nexus S does not have the same answers with cards, as in the Galaxy Nexus.
Do you know why? have you noticed other differences?

Make sure you have "Search on Google.com" enabled in Google now ->Settings -> Privacy and Accounts, since the Knowledge graph which powers it is more or less limited to Google.com at the moment.
My problem with Google Now is limited to voice search. Besides the ocassional slow start up, it seems the graphics/UI/animation have trouble keeping up with the audio (chime, audio input, audio output), which hurts when it activates a voice action but you can't see the card to check if it's right or not. Does everybody else get this?

I already have google.com enable but I was never able to get any card.
I tried several examples that work with GNexus
Did you get a card using voice search?
In my Nexus S I also noticed the slow start up.

Does anyone know if it's possible to make a home screen shortcut to google now? I use ADW EX for a launcher and it doesn't have the option yet in the Swipe Up setting to launch google now, but if there's a way to make a shortcut, you can set swipe up to launch an app or shortcut.
Also, I can't seem to setup the sports cards. I follow Formula 1 in the summer, but also NBA summer leagues, but I can't setup the sports cards to give me any information at all on these things.

No need, in Jelly Bean the Search button is permanently mapped to Google now system wide (you can't use it for app specific search anymore). If you still want a shortcut, just make a shortcut to the Google app. Google app = Google now.

So...egg on my face. Hit the "search" capacitive button and it went straight to google now. Embarrassed.
Now, about those sports teams....I read an article that teams you search for in Google are enabled in the "edit teams" option, which is currently greyed out for me. Anybody get this option enabled? I've tried many things and it's not working for me.

Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788719
Enables you to use the search button and make a typing search instead of voice search, but the best part is the microphone in the widget still works if you want.
So click the search button brings typing even if voice is activated. 2 in 1
Enjoy

While in Google Now, hit the capacitive menu button, choose Settings, choose Google Now, and then customize each card category.

You have to set the phone to English as system language to get it working correctly. In Swedish or other languages it only does a voice search..

Summer leagues are not official, so they won't show up as cards. When the season starts cards will show up.
Its baseball season, so I get the daily schedule when I ask.

Hey I can't get any cards up other then the weather card. I don't know if it's just me but the voice searching/commands kinda suck. And there was another guy that said that his "edit teams" in the sports card section is grayed out, this is true with me also. Won't even let me click anything in any sport; anyone know how to fix that?
Is there also specific things you have to say for this woman to respond back to you with an answer? I was trying to tell "can you set an appointment for monday july 23th and 8:15am" and it would send me to google.com to get an appointment manager

^ it's not a voice assistant like siri. It responds to who what and some when questions.

well that cleared up alot for me lol... I was misunderstanding the entire concept behind google now... I know that it was a helpful tool to tell you traffic details and reminders and **** like that... But i thought it was a giant voice searching engine as well... But i guess it doesnt help at all when you dont have data :laugh: now you can ask "why the **** do you have an android with no data" LOL

Google Now is just another gimmick which I have turned off to try and help the terrible battery life.

"OK Google" from any screen

hi there,
I've looked around on XDA a bit but haven't found anything yet so here's my question:
Since 'OK Google' is available from any screen now since the last Google Search update was released, is there any way/hack to make this feature work outside of the states (I'm in the Netherlands)?
If I open the voice settings in Google Serach the option just doesn't appear. My phone is the Nexus 5, language is set to English (US), the ok google thing is working from the home screen or within search.
thanks!!

Here in germany this function is not implemented, too. Im looking forward for a fix/update soon...hopefully...

Would love to know this. Am in the UK on an unrooted Nexus 4. Don't have the option to start it from any screen.
From what people say, Google activates it server-side on an account-to-account basis, but what I am not sure of is is this valid only for people within the US or people elsewhere also get it (once it gets activated for your account) if they set their language to English (US)?

It's working since this morning for me. Looks like Google removed the US-only restriction!
