Hi. I have bought Navigon Europe on Market Place but I wont to install all the maps related to Europe, I'm only interested for Italy Maps and I found Navigon Content v1.6 on web.
After I downloaded the maps and other files, I started the Content server that will update my Navigon. But Navigon on the phone display: "Connection failed. Please try again later. A WLAN or PC (Zune) is required to download the missing data."
What's wrong?
Thanks.

Unfortunately, the latest Navigon version does not let you download individual countries, unless you make changes to the program. This has been accomplished via Navigon Content, which you found. That however was deemed illegal as it changes the way the program was intended to work by the company. There is no support for this as it is considered warez. Version 4 will always try to download all content based on your region (US, EU etc). That is somewhere around 2Gb of map data. Hopefully they will release a version that allows you to download ONLY maps you actually need. For now your only option is to contact them.
To get the maps onto your phone you need to connect your device to the PC and have Zune client open and recognize the phone. Once you open Navigon 4 in this state it will download the maps via your PCs internet connection.
good luck
check your PM
I heard that NAVIGON will release versions of the specifications for each state in future. Thanks a lot for your explain.
Well, I have the same problem. Too much space required (2GB). Do you know how to contact Navigon to ask for an optional map installer?

I downloaded and installed Google Maps Mobile, but can't find it on my phone (not in Programs and can't find the file using Google Search). I read on another forum that there is a cab for easy installation.
Can someone help me get it up and running?
Thanks in advance.
http://www.google.com/mobile/default/maps.html
type in your number and it will send you the link to download the cab
Already did Google Maps Mobile install process
Thanks for the quick reply, Joel. I already had the link sent to my Fuze. I clicked install and it seemed to go through the installation process.
But I can't find the program anywhere in my phone. Am I missing where to look for it?
Please advise.
when you clicked the link did you rn the cab after it downloaded or did you just click the link and download the file
next step
I didn't run the cab because I couldn't find where it was downloaded to?
Can you help me find it?
Thanks.
try looking though your my document files to begin with, do you have a storage card
Not there
I looked in My Docs and nothing. Cabs usually install into Windows, but nothing there.
I tried Google Desktop search and XP search in my Mobile Device while synced to my PC and gmaps didn't show up.
I read about amazegps. Any thoughts on alternatives to Google?
you might try tomtom for turn by turn directions, but your phone has to support what phone do you have.
another way to find your google maps is to download it again and select where to save it so that you can find it
Thanks for the assist
I appreciate your taking the time.
I'll try downloading again, but not sure there is that option on my Fuze. I'll explore other GPS options.
On a last note, I have a 5 MB limit on Internet use. Does GPS eat up a lot of data?
Thanks again. Over and out.
Gps does not use data, however google maps streams the maps to your phone though your internet connection when you use it and only uses gps for your location.
On tomtom however the maps are local on your phone, and is free of internet restraint
try here..... it is in the kaiser/tilt section but it should work on your phone, you get to download one free map.

no, google streams its map data, you can't download their maps to allow you "offline" use
Hello everybody,
I've got a problem with installing maps on the xda Orbit 2 device.
I have a default UK and Ireland maps on it, but I'm from Balkan and want to using Balkan maps or Central European maps.
I tried to intstall maps like most users suggest by posting the link (in pdf). But I didn't succeed with it.
So please help me, how to install other map region on the device.
Thanks
Luke
Does anyone know how to do that?
you get a copilot central disk with the orbit 2. you need to purchase the map via this app.
Have you purchased the maps you want?
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.

Google navigation with street view still u are looking for garmin. I am waiting for google to release for India.

use brut navigation....

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.

I dont beleive this has been mentioned here... Apologies if it has! *mods please delete if duplicate*
A free UK sat nav alternative to Google Maps Navigation.
(Android 2.2 +) Download and install maps after the software installation via the NavFree store (Map also free). Then no need for a data connection to navigate the maps.
might be useful when out in the wilds!
I picked it up via expansys - just google 'NavFree expansys'
APK is 65Mb so free space needed! Due to the size I can't attach.

I've downloaded and installed this, thanks. Unfortunately, when I try to run it, I just get a black screen for a few seconds then I'm back to my home screen. Has anyone else had the same problem? I've not downloaded any maps yet (waiting for a wifi connection!), but I doubt if that's the problem.
Edit:
I've since found THIS discussion. It seems this doesn't work with Gingerbread at the moment, but they're working on it.
Not sure which version it was, but I used to use Google Maps Off-line, and cache wouldn't expire (if I'm correct). Due to lobby or any other rotten (commercial) reasons, Google Maps Off-line is not available anymore in many countries, like (some) Brazil (cities), as an example.
So, I'm looking at the latest Google Maps version which allows us to download the maps again, and use it offline.
Or maybe a way to cache it without the need of scrolling it manually, at several zoom levels...
I don't know - Something that could help on browsing offline Google Maps.
Could someone help on this?
And also point me (us) to a location where to get and install it?
Some useful links...

Is 6.14.1 the latest available?
I've found some 6.14.3 around, but I'm not sure if someone here has really tried it, successfully. [[[ DONE, and it's okay: ]]]
http://93.114.44.238/viewtopic.php?f=399&t=517147
Note 1: I have successfully installed the 6.14.3 version above, but I'm not sure if it works as it should due to the fact I'm looking at DOWNLOADING LOCAL maps currently not available anymore, that WAS available to download until some jerks decide we need to keep paying to access it from other sources; but I still couldn't. So, if you want to install and try the Google Maps 6.14.3 (Mod/Nav) and try it, get it above, and please post a feedback.
I just did this:
1. In Titanium Backup, selected Maps and cleared cache and wiped data.
2. I did the same with Street View, and uninstalled both.
3. Made a reboot.
4. Renamed the APK to Maps.apk (don't know why, but did)
5. Allowed unknown sources
6. Installed the APK
Note 2: I have successfully installed the 6.14.1 version (which may be the same as above links), and it worked as well. But NO solution for what I'm looking for.
http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?t=417690
Bottom note: Then, you'll probably like the latest Google Maps 6.14.3 (offline Navigation Mod)
And, how can I download a map that is not available for downloading anymore?
Again, it used to be and I used to do it...
And many cities in Brazil are still downloadable, but not those that interest me.
Thanks for any input, and most important:
Enjoy!
I got update from g play for my map,before only,which saves the map and can be seen at offline also.
My problem was it created lots of cache on my sdcard..really annoying,so uninstalled.
Try disabling the log files, if that's what you mean : )
