Hi, I found this well made GPS navigation app where you can save your tracks to view later. Also it lets you preload maps to your phone so you can use them whenever you don't have a mobile signal. See this video for more info https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dYpiZm_HbGw It's also great for geocaching.
Check it out! https://play.google.com/store/apps/...urce=forum&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=aleks

Hi all,
I'm looking for an app similar to WifiAnalyzer that is able to discover all WiFi hotspots around with the additional abillity to log the discovered WiFi hitspots.
Is something available? How about simultaneously log GPS?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Take a look at Wigle Wifi
Available at the Market or at wigle.net
Check out wardrive its free and does exactly what the name states. Reads all access points and maps them via GPS with Google maps, can export to Google earth file type.
Great app for those who wardrive.

I've played with Wifi Tracker a little too, seems to work okay..
I'm looking for a GPS app that tracks my movements but does not use the internet to update my movements on a map. I'm looking for something that just maps the movements by placing dots on a blank screen that I can view while I am moving. When I am done logging, it should be able to upload the logging file to my pc so I can load into Google Earth.
I want this type of app so it uses very little battery and does not hit the internet. I use to have a Blackberry Storm and they have an app called GPSlogger that did this and it worked great.
I have not been able to find any app that does this in the Android market.
Anyone know of something similar?
you would be better off getting a bluetooth track logger gps for 75. Gps in your phone will use 12+ percent an hour without data usage.
Google MyTracks may be your best bet..

i'll second that
Well, have a look at Locus.
- There are some settings to stay completly offline.
- If you don't want to use the internet on the go, you could also download maps on wifi and use them for offline use.
- It is able to connect to a bluetooth gps device without any 3rd-party-app.
- Recorded Tracks can be exported as *.kml and *.csv for later use on a desktop pc.
But if you just want to have the gps logging part, you'd better go for a real gps logger.
Is there an app that can provide your location on screen with a sattelite view like google earth?
I need it to run from the phone's memory not downloading from the internet.
Offline navigation apps might do what you want.
Sorry is that the name of the app or a general category of apps?
If it's just the type of app are there any specific ones that would do the job?
It´s a general category, offline navigation applications.
You might try this one here: You can download Google maps contents to your phone while being at home or in the office, and on the road, use it offline.
There are a few commercial navigation apps for your HD2, such as Navigon, TomTom, CoPilot, or Garmin - I don´t know if all of them are still available "officially".
Hi there.
Is there any good app that can track my phone using the gps system?
I will be travelin' for a 1500miles and I want my wife not to worry and know where am I, using the google maps. Is there anything like this? that my mobile x10mini pro can be seen on google maps and tell my position.
Google Latitude should do the trick.

Fameelee - Family Locator will perfectly meet your needs. This app actually developed for families to help them to stay in touch 24/7 negleting the distance.
Within this app you will be able to track/being tracked real time location as well as location history for the last 30 days, stay in touch with your loved onces with in-app chat, get gps notifications once your wife gets some specific places, send panic alarms with your current gps location and video of your surrounding etc.
In paid version you can even track sms and call logs of your family members, get notifications if someone of them speeded and so on.
So give it a try and I believe you'll be impressed with app's feauters.
P.S. Mostly gps tracking apps drain phone battery quickly but not this one (tested and it takes only 3-4% of your battery life)
What Android needs is an offline map saved on the SD card that can be accessed by any application if needed. There are some great apps that use Google Maps, but on a slow 2G connection it sometimes takes a while for them to load. Also, if you don't have a data connection at all, the app is needlessly useless.
I know Google Maps can cache certain areas, but a true offline map would be great. Some apps only seem to use the tiled version, not the vector one.

With google maps you can cache a 20km x 20km = 400km^2 area. I cached the entire metropolitan area of Padua (IT). It's quite good for a daily use, but if you must use an app like this for work or something else i suggest you to buy a "serious" navigation system on the market like Navigon
We used to have TomTom for Windows Mobile which was essentially the same UI as the standalone TomTom devices along with maps. Unfortunately I haven't seen anything like that for Android. For peace of mind I would like to have complete offline maps of the US. Until something like that comes along I will be forced to use my trusty standalone TomTom.
i am using navdroyd...
offline maps..
does the job well..
if you have gps, ndrive it will do the same as tom tom or bather, but cheaper.

Were you making a statement or asking a question?
Either case, it should have been "What YOU need is an offline map saved on the ...."
There are plenty out there for Android OS.
Google Maps is just ONE of the maps.
Go for Ndrive my friend,best offline navigation app.
