If this has been answered I couldn't find it, so here goes ...
Is it possible to use a map you made online using Google Maps for navigation on the Maps app? There is a certain way I want to go to a destination and have created the map online but I don't see any way to bring it up and use it for navigation on my phone.
Thanks for any help.

Hello, first of all I apologize if this thread does not belong here and second I have a question and I'm in dire need of an answer: I would like to know if there is a way of saving my current location on google maps using my phone. At this point I would like to mention that I am using a Samsung Galaxy S and my version of google maps is 6.4.0 . I've done some reading around and I've noticed that some people suggested starring the place but that only works if google knows the address of that certain location. I am interested in saving the location of an old fortress located in the middle of a forest and I was hoping someone could help me by explaining how can I do that using my phone while standing in the middle of that fortress. Also I would like to add the fact that I'm not set on using google maps any application that does this and uses a map will do I was just hoping there was a way with google maps since I use that app most often.
You can use my tracks app

Condensing into one thread various queries on above subject :
1) Is MB865 capable of GLONASS or is it a hardware specific feature?
2) Why is Google Earth not available for India in Google Play when we can use it on the pc here? (just looking for thoughts / comments)
3) Why is voice guided navigation not provided for India (Garmin Navigon, Nokia Maps have it & Nokia also has a Nokia Maps multi platform mobile browser app) - (just looking for thoughts / comments)
4) Can anybody specifically share their experience for Navigon India as they are charging mucho bucks for their apps & need to know is it worth??
5) What according to you (especially senior members) are your favorite offline maps apps?? Share the names please.
6) Any other GPS tips / tricks would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I could be incorrect... but I believe that you would need a GLONASS chipset in order to access that Satellite Coordinate system
Please someone please correct me if I'm wrong!
On the lack of Google Services in India... look around for some articles on this... there just may be one that explains the lack of said services... either that or Google just hasn't worked out a deal yet.
I don't live in India, so not much help on the Navigation quality of India Maps....
Oh... and Google Maps has a caching ability builtin to the Labs in Settings. This should cache a 10 mile area that is selected.
Hope this info helps and good luck finding a Nav software you like!!!!

@nephillim - came across an article on the forum somewhere on an modified "Play" store app allowing install options for countries not included for some some app's (but beta bugs & hence not so keen). Appreciate your other inputs. Thanks!

Never a problem to help a fellow XDAer out!!!
Hey there, I was using OsmAnd for a cupple of weeks, but I have a great problem with it.. I love the feature, that it's totally offline and provides a huge database of Addresses and Pons, but I live in Europe and we use a bit different address format :
Street, House number, City, State
and OsmAnd uses internally the Format
housenumber, street, City, State
So I got the Problem of incompatibilities of all my stored addresses, but also for those provided by Google search.
Now there are true the Web several tips how to fix it, mainly to use the Contactplugin. I downloaded it several times from different addresses but the result was the same : force closing apk... Sometimes OsmAnd or mostly the plugin itself.
I would be glad if someone could help me out because it makes me really ****ed up, I would like to use it instead of maps, so I would be able to delete maps, but if I want to do so, I would like to have mostly the same features, and the details on the map are not the problem.
Thank you for your idea how to fix this issue
Hi there,
You could try asking here, [APP] [Free] OsmAnd (online/offline GPS navigation), though the thread is pretty old and small.
You could also try asking for help in Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Thank you and thread closed!
[SOLVED] Digital Compass [built in hardware] is it needed for Google Maps or anything else? Or is the built in hardware GPS enough?
Was looking at the Moto G Plus (4th Gen.). It does not have a hardware Digital Compass.
There was some discussion both ways:
Google Maps will work. Google Maps won't work.
Without a hardware Digital Compass. Will a Compass APP from the Google Play Store along with the built in hardware GPS be a good enough replacement or not?
No links just a quote.
From a xxxx xxxxxxxxx:
"GPS shows location. It will do this on a map in offline mode if you download map data. It will also show you your movements and direction while moving.
But if standing still without a compass, nothing will show if you facing north or south."
