The google map is good but need data. The HTC navigation is fantastic but limited to 30-day free use. Can anyone recommend a free navigation app, which can use the offline maps and have a voice turn to turn instructions?
Sygic or navigon
Newest Google maps can cache the map area. Not sure what it can do as far as navigation, but traffic will definitely not work.
Hit menu button > Settings > Labs > check box for pre-cache map (shown in image below)

No nav, Really ?
Awesomness
that was pretty fast!
don't know about nav, not available where i live anyways
THANKS!
Thanks for the info.
Just received V5.30 update from the market...so far so good!
Try
I will try on Cyanogen 7 on HD2
Ummm was I not supposed to have Navigation before? Or is this Google Maps with Navigation built in? As it is, I had Google Maps AND Google Navigation; is this just the two of them merged?
Any ideas if the Navigation is supported worldwide?
Hi All,
Got bored and made a notepad app, it's kinda cool with a widget, which I've styled after the stock Android widgets. The app uses your wallpaper (including live) as the background. Also has a few options like share, delete all etc.
Hope you like

Is there an option to actually write directly on your home screen? Or does it always open up a new window ?
Ideos X5 / Huawei U8800
Always a new window for now, however the widget give you 2 buttons, so you can either go into the list, or straight to a new note and when you click save, it doesn't take you back to the app (unless it was still running from before) but back to the home screen, so it's basically the same thing
Great job very handy.
Any way to make the widget transparent?

nice app - widget looks good on my screen and I like the functionality.
Nice, I've been looking for a simple note pad app. I'd love you forever if it supported txt files

How do I keep using Google's mobile browser on my stock Sensation browser ?
My homepage on my stock browser is Google. Sometimes when I first launch the browser (Internet icon) it launches the desktop Google and sometimes it launches the mobile version.
What settings should I edit to let it keep using the mobile version and not erratic behaviours?
When u run something, u have quick box to choose default program to use "with this action" just simply select box "remember my choose" and then tap proper program to use - tapped rpogram will be used always with this action
I am using ARHD 3.6.13 but I doubt its the rom's fault.
This is what I mean. Everytime I launch my stock browser, I get the desktop version of Google and not the android's mobile version.

Use this as your home page:

As opposed to google.com

I have searched and not able to find how to get the mic on the keyboard, normally its on the lower left next to the space bar. This is driving me nuts.

I think I've found out how to restore it.
enable "Google Voice Typing" in language and settings
