wow. VERY cool app. Doubt enough people use it here in Canada to be as effective as it may be in areas in the States, but still... love the idea of this app. In Google Navigation the Traffic layer actually works pretty decent, so I do like that.
What the OP is asking for though (which I don't believe waze has) is the ability download the maps to your phone for offline access (for use when outside of your mobile data area). I've also wondered what is the best option... you can download sections of areas in Google Navigation but I've heard it's kinda glitchy and it doesn't catch much of an area....
Anyone know of a good GPS app for offline access???
That was my favorite app when I had the iPhone.

What's wrong with Google navigation?

I use sygic it works even if you don't have signal cause the maps are stored on the sdcard

When I had an iPhone *shudders* I was able to fake my location and watch my actual team's home games without dealing with black out restrictions.
I've tried Fake GPS and Location Spoofer but At Bat seems to bypass it somehow. Does anyone know a way to truly fake your location to watch these home games? I'm sure something as simple as this with an amazing dev community is easy to get past...
Thanks!
unfortunately, I am not sure. Perhaps they read your area code? Have you tried using it out of your state to see if it worked?
Out of curiosity, what phone are you using?

Using the Thunderbolt. I know MLB goes by this for Blackouts, so I usually set it to like Wyoming to watch teams on East Coast.

Give navigon a try, its free for australian users, but if you look through this forum you'll see ways to get it working elsewhere, or you can pay for it in the market.its not pretty but does a good job and full offline mode.

Have you already tried Google Maps? Go into menu-more-labs-download map area and follow the instructions.
im trying to find it its not on market

Google maps supports offline now.

..Only downloaded sections, and up to 10 miles per area.
To the OP, Sygic Aura and CoPilot are great.
So download the parts you need. Derp.
If you need to be entirely offline then use copilot live. I use it for work and it is great.

Why don't you just use Google maps?

Google maps has had me lost to many times it loses signal or thinks I'm on a different road especially in metro areas I was in Baltimore last week and i was on the correct route the out of nowhere it started to reroute.
ATT nav doesn't do it but its 120/year

ATT nav and VZ Navigator are basically the same based tele-atlas app I believe. I am not a fan of any gps app that has to have data to work. And I know that google maps can cache maps but it is a feature you need to set up ahead of time and when in need is when google maps usually fails.
Why don't you look into sygic or ndrive? Both use downloaded maps and require no data to use. Sygic is only around $24 for USA and they give you a free 7 day trial before buy. Ndrive also gives you a 7 day trial. Not as good as sygic but still a cheap alternative.
Both available on the market. Sygic uses tele atlas maps and ndrive uses navteq maps. Just FYI.
Thanks for the heads up I actually did see sygic in the market I will download and try out
Thanks again

Or activate Google labs and tell Google maps to pre cache your maps, it's a free option and I can attest to the fact that it works.

Can you let me know how you went about doing that

How 'bout Sygic Aura?
Have you ever thought about the Sygic Aura? There are some sites out there that will let you download the .APK file. Install it & then you just need a WiFi connection to download the maps & presto, your all set. It works great for me.
Good luck!
I am looking for a good and reliable app that i can use for outdoor use on my phone. I know that the GPS on these phones are not the best, but i spend alot of time fishing, hiking, camping, and off-roading.
It would be really nice to have a quality map/GPS app that I can use when out of cell service area. I was wondering if anyone had used some from the market, and could recomend some places to start. I'm not cheep so a paid version isn't out of the question, but I woundn't mind a free version to see if it works first.
I have tried Google maps, and pre-catched the map thru their labs, but i never seem to be able to get lock on device thru that app when out of data area. I've looked at alot of the app's in the market with reference to hiking and navigation, but there are so many! If there is anyone that has used some of these apps plz let me know!
Honestly you're probably better off just getting yourself a decent gps system such as a garmin.

Try using gps aids and applying the fixes through it, should help immensely with locks. Other than that don't know which gps app is best, probably that navigon one for general navigation but based on more wilderness /non road use I'm of no help
I am running VB FB Edition and one thing I have noticed is that my Gps does not work. I would like to use the navigation feature but it seems never to get a lock on. There is many apps in the market that say they fix Gps issues. But what does everyone use to get Gps working? Can some advise me? Thanks for all your input.

Somewhere within the VB black thread I think the apk for angrygps is posted. That was suggested for a while to fix the gps issues.
I have not read anybody else with gps problems on FB's VB. You may need to reflash, or clear caches and fix permissions.
Ok I found my issue under development for some reason I had enabled mock gps location enabled. What is that feature for?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
It can enable you to set a different location from where you actually are. For example, if you use any of the maps/location features that show you stuff around you, say hotels, you can use a mock location of where you're headed (say New York City) vs. where you are now (on the highway in New Jersey) to get what's close to that location.
Clear as mud, right?
Also, you can use mock location for development purposes in case you're making an app that uses a GPS location and you don't get a real GPS location, or testing to see if your app will work with different coordinates and how it will react.
EDIT
Woohoo this was my 2000th post!
