Hello
Which is the best navigation app for Android that takes traffic into consideration. I heard a lot about Google navigation doing this but I tried it for a couple of days and it doesn't seem to be working

Try Waze. It uses crowd sourced traffic and hazard information.
Waze
iGo

The best GPS I've ever had is iGO and it does consider traffic.

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.

..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!
Coming from Sprint I used the TeleNav which was FREE and flawless. On ATT i only see their app and Mapquest. Any free,dependable and has turn by turn GPS apps you could recommend?
Google maps/navigation?

Dude, Google Navigation is built in and probably one of the best GPS's I've ever used.

Waze, should be the best among the GPS apps in the US.
its uses the internet and the Waze Community to get information about traffic , police and such.
I use Google Navigation. By far the best I've used.

And now you can download some maps to use offline
Helpful when you aware of data.
Google maps!

This. Kind of a no brainer.

I'd definitely have to agree on Waze. Much more interactive, more customizations along with a beautiful interface.

another vote for Waze. It's like stock navigation made better by other users. If you're even a remotely risky driver, Waze will alert you of cops, road hazards, and better-than-default routes during inclement weather, traffic, or whathaveyou.
I'll say Waze too. Been using it since my HTC Fuze.
I recommend SYGIC, it was useful for me when i didnt have data plan on my phone
Trying out Waze...thanks

Depending on where i'm going I use Google navigation or waze. Google seems to be more updated so if I'm going somewhere kind of "out there" I use that but if if it's a fairly common place I'll use waze

Hey all, I love the navigation on this guy, he works great. I let my dad use the thing the other day and he wouldn't stop complaining how the planned route and the arrow (you) blend in. Does anyone know how to change that? I don't care how it works, I'm running cm9 and I have no problem messing around with adb or something. Thanks in advance.

I think you'd be better off trying out a navigation app that has a different scheme. I'm sure in some of them you can change it to your preference. I always use Google Nav so I don't have much info about the different apps out there but someone should be able to recommend one. CoPilot Live seems to get mentioned a lot.
A good one is Waze. But no, GoogleMaps and Google Navigation is not customizable
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I've been using waze. I just like the cleanliness of Google Navigation. Thanks for the suggestions.

Try the GPS Status Test & Fix app from the playstore, its free.
I'm out of data on my subscription so I tried navigating with Here maps (offline). GPS started working fin, but lost lock quite a few times and even for a few minutes. In a wide street with the phone on the dashboard..
It feels like a bug. Didn't try anything as I was driving. The phone runs L and is fairly new (2 months).
