[Request] Can anyone Make an app to download offline maps from Google ? - Android Apps and Games

Hi Guys !
I don't know if this against copyrights or not .
But can anyone make some kind of edit to the google maps app to allow offline maps for the full country ? instead of this annoying cache via Wifi !
or make other app that uses offline database of Google maps and will be great if in satellite (google Earth ) view also ...
I just keep wondering why till now google doesn't allow downloading offline maps ? even in a paid version !!!
the latest Update removed the tiny feature of downloading some offline areas .
Now it is currently unavailable for me to make any offline maps ..

I just use Navfree app and download the maps for offline by state, free and like a gps but doesn't have all the google stuff though.

I use osmand to download maps before Google maps update.. It's pretty good, open source, allows for offline navigation and free.
Download Google maps outside of Google maps is breaking copyright and Google has asked people to remove it.

Excellent !
Thank you!
Sometimes it seems some members here don't understand the basics of the Market: NOT ALL APPS are available in ALL countries.
So, please, don't send a link to the Android Market, it is USELESS.
We've already tried there!
nevermind everything is fixed...
hey, how to unlock navigation in other countries?
Thanks for the file...

5.2.1 pretty please if you can, has some routing issues fixed
APK 5.2.1
Yeah can someone put the 5.2.1 on here.
My market refuses to download or install Gmaps, Only when I use an APK install it works, but then it won't update via the market (the download keeps failing or not even starting)
Weird issue though since I did a full wipe after a new rom install (HTC Desire GSM, Cyanogen Nightly Build 15, s-off with Alpharev). All other google apps install just fine.
The APK should resolve this untill the next update probably :-((
The only thing I didn't try yet is a Dalvik wipe before the rom install or gapps, should I?
Any clues about how to fix this or a link to the 5.2.1. HDPI version?
Cheers

[Q] is there an offline navigation or map?

hello guys,
I'm looking for an offline navigation or maps app because its very expensive to use data on my phone where i live!! so any ideas???

You can pre cache some maps by going into labs on the maps application and it should download the map for the area

Hello my friends,
i look for an offline navi too but for the cm7
Any idea?
Yours sincerely

You can use "Sygic" Application.. that has some awesome offline maps details..
Second is the "MyTrails" from Market for Free.. You can use its inbuilt Map downloader to download maps of your area with GMapMaker or Buy the application for 3$ and download the maps with map downloder builtin the application....
Google will help u understand
I use copilot

Any GPS software for China?

Are there any GPS packages for mainland China? I'm going to be traveling there shortly and most likely won't have 3g for google maps.
My suggestion is used Google and pre-cache the maps. If we read Chinese I believe there is a QQ map app though.
google app is quite decent and you can also use locus if you want.
I may not be able to use data at all while I'm there. Locus and QQ?

[NEWS] Offline Google Maps to work on 'all devices with Android 2.2 or higher.

Offline Google Maps to work on 'all devices with Android 2.2 or higher,' 3D compatibility less clear.
We'd heard earlier that Google had "nothing to announce" in regard to Android compatibility with the newly-announced offline Maps support and 3D modeling, but look -- things change. We reached out to the company and urged 'em to dig a little deeper, only to have the following confirmed: "For offline Google Maps for Android, all devices with Android 2.2 (Froyo) and above will be supported." As for the 3D portion? "We'll have more details about device compatibility for 3D imagery on Google Earth for mobile at launch." After the event, we spotted a Googler using the 3D build on a Galaxy Nexus, so it's obvious that Android 4.0+ will be supported, but we have to assume that some of these older Froyo devices may simply lack the proper oomph needed to fly around the downtowns of [insert major metropolitan area here].

Me Too Waiting For It
try SYGIC
But I am using SYGIC Aura with India maps and it is the best navigation app out there. Offline maps, voice navigation, Full 3D support and Great UI.
So this news from Google doesn't excite me...
interesting
wait n see!!

I also have Sygic but Google maps are going to be better than Sygic's cause its maps aren't the best around.
Nowadays you can download google maps tiles from several apps like Orux Maps, Locus, Maps- and several more. Then u can use the tiles in offline mode and navigate through them in airplane mode.
Even in current google maps app, in Labs section you can activate the option to cache a map zone in order to use the tiles in offline mode too.
Cheers... and let me say.... SUMMER IS COMIIIING
google maps with gps?
Does anyone know if the new google maps apk will support satellite gps location sources, or only online phone/google location sources? Sygic Aura has offline maps but no satellite gps capability.
In other words, will it be an full offline satellite gps map system?
we can use offline maps in current version only...
1. Open Google Maps
2. Go to Settings -> Labs
3. Click on Pre-cache map area to activate it.
4. Go to your desired place, tap and hold.
5. Tap on the area that appears and select Pre-cache map area. that's it..
enjoy offline maps :laugh::laugh::laugh:....

That's limited to the 10mile radius from where you live or where you pre-cache the maps. This is a big limitation & that's why it is not called offline maps cause after all you need internet to pre-cache the maps.
In offline maps you could store the map of the whole city you live in.
In Nokia S60, I could store the map of my state or even the whole god damn India into my SD Card. Now you decide which one is better.
Try oruxmaps or locusmaps!!!! :good:

Oh well, That sucks !
I guess we'll have to wait for Google to release Maps with offline navigation enabled.
