google map offline maps is possible?????

i've installed googlemaps beta and is wonderful but to use this software as tomtom is too expansive (sownload map from internet). it's could be possible to go with offline map?
thx

As far as i know... no.
The google maps downloads the map data on the fly (as you scroll).
I have a 5GB data plan, so it's not a big problem for me

yes, on the fly.
in france, we have illimythic, it's an unlimited data so it's perfect for google maps, rss news, internet .... and it's only 6 euros more than a normal subscription.

You lucky ......

You might wanna read up on this post for using google maps offline

search for a software named: Terracrosser.

Search google for a program called Google Navigator lets you download maps on phone you can select an area of a map and it will download that area with all zoom levels and views, its very good. Plus it has neat features like street view (before google maps had it) kml creation and other stuff.

Use the google navigator.

Is it worth my $59? I really want offline satmaps, might try the hacks (proxy to download map tiles, not the illegal hacks of Navigator)

Which is now called Global Navigator... this program uses google maps info to feed and allows offline map support, you can also download a certain area of the map at a defined zoom level. its great!

There is a news regarding that it will be possible to use Google Maps offline.
I have heard this news two days ago. Is it possible now? Is it true?
If not, is there any way to do so?
Thanks by now...

Thanks for info

cool. thanks for the info

Thanks for the heads up, will be sure to give it a shot.

Thanks for the info above

is it possible for anyone to upload the latest Google Maps apks on this thread? My problem is that i get the stupid 'not supported by your carrier' error when attempting to update. I have been able to update my google maps to 5.0 from outside the market and it is working fine, so i really don't understand the carrier related error. Please, anyone? Its free after all.
Thanks!

They need to stop cluttering up Gmaps with useless stuff. Becoming bloated slowly but surely.

But 5.2 is the newest...
twitter.com/#!/GoogleMobile/status/43345991268704256

Yep, Market shows the new version is 5.2.0

Yes, 5.2.0 is the new version of Google maps.
What's in this version:
- Post your reviews of places to Twitter.
- Check in at places with Google Latitude to earn status and share with friends.
- Ping Latitude friends to ask them to check in. Friends will get a check-in request notification from you.
- Search for a place to check in from Latitude if it's not in the suggested list of plac

Agreed. Adding functionality to the map functions is one thing, but adding lots of extraneous bling is quite another.

Ver 5.2.0 is out, what's news?

The search feature on Maps has completely stopped working for me. Nothing I search is returning results... Is anyone else having this problem?
I really need this feature working on my phone before I fly to LA next week, its unbelievable how much I depend on it :-/
Running
MyTouch 3G Slide
ROM: CM7

any gmaps 5.2.0 APK :S i can´t update

Here it is,just pulled it up from the market,works quite good

Is there any reason to upgrade?
Given that Latitude is a non-starter (for me), is there any reason to get the newer version? I've been avoiding it since it didn't seem to have anything new besides bloatware that I'd rather avoid.

thanks for the apk file was looking for 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

Google maps v5.2.1

[Q] maps (and stuff) when travelling

google maps...latitude...footprints...locations...places...navigation...and now, download area maps...whaaa?
i am so confused about what all these things are? i've used google maps online, and a couple of times on my phone, and i've downloaded city "locations", but how do i use these - or which is better to be used - when travelling?
i'll be all over Europe come next month, and will have a data plan (actually a mobile wifi hotspot device at 1GB a month)...i want to use these gadgets but really can't tell the difference between them all
any advice? what have you used and how do you use it?

google maps stuff
maps - google maps basically
latitude - allows google and your google contacts to know where you are.
navigation - directions on how to get from one place to another.
HTC location stuff
footprints - puts a marker where u are. i think it requires u to sign in to htc sense to fully utilise it.
htc location - your main gps app. notice there are categories there. u tap on one and places listed will be sorted by how far they are from you in an ascending order.
did that help?
i was using a nokia 5800xm previously and had garmin mobile xt. here in malaysia we have a forum where people upload points of interest and map builders add them in to map builds. when roads get changed or redirected, someone's gonna add them in. i was able to find almost any place in any state with garmin.
unfortunately, these two gmaps and htc's location arent that detailed.

that is helpful, thanks
so 'location' and 'places' is essentially the same thing?
it looks like Location uses purchased Navigation for directions, whereas Places uses free Google Maps?
yes that does clear it up...it looks like all i need is Maps and Places

location and places seem to serve the same purpose. so i just go with location. btw, when u purchased ur phone did u receive a voucher code for location? it should be printed on the location manual.

does motorola xoom have gps built in?

question for you all,as i am planing to go in a short vacation to europe,
and i dont think i will have data plan there ,so my question is if i have a gps software installed in my tablet do i need any internet connection ?
do the motorola have gps built in?
thank you,

You need a connection to get directions, once you have the directions you can break the connection. It's called agps...and you better hope you don't need to change your route.

thank you for your reply!
is there any offline maps programs,for france and belgium?
that maybe i still see the map if i am not connected anywhere?
thanks

Yes it does have GPS built in. Purchase copilot live for the country you are going to visit. Copilot only needs to download data once then you don't need data again.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

Oh and you can change routes as often as you like. Copilot will reroute without internet connection as its maps are preloaded. It does use a lot of space though. USA maps are about 1.5g.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

+1 for copilot. I have that on my wifi xoom and works great without data. You just need preloaded maps and ur set

If you only want to see the map, you can use a labs-feature in google maps to download map tiles to your device so they are still available if you go offline.
However, if you're with T-Mobile USA, your xoom should be an everest (MZ601), right? That should be compatible with european networks and you can get prepaid flat rate plans starting at around 10€... I got one of those back when I visited London a few years back, paid like 8£... totally worth it

thanks guys for all that good info!
i got this one here on amazon
i dont know exactly the model number ,but in settings /about it say :
xoom,android ver:4.0.3 build IML77
now,can that copilot be installed on microsd card? i only have 2 gb ,can i add a 16gb microsd to it?
as for the main memory i have 26gb free.
thanks

yes,i am with tmobile usa,but i buy my xoom from amazon,
so i dont know how this works...
for 10euro will be nice also to have data connection,i will be for about 12 days in europe.
thanks,

Maybe a bit late but what are you planing on using the map for, you could always just use google maps and pre-cache the area's you want to visit, perhaps before you leave the hotel or where ever your stopping via a wifi connection?

"""you could always just use google maps and pre-cache the area's you want to visit,"""
maybe i can do that ,but i have to find out how,
i just want to use the map for france and belgium to find places to see ,eat,sleep,train routes,buses,etc.
thanks

The Xoom does have GPS built in. You need to cache maps if you want to navigate. If you open the map application without wifi access or caching maps you will see your position on a blank grid.

Look for Navfree on the Market, works very well, can be used off line as when you install it before you go get the maps you want / need...also now available for USA too, uses free maps and "crowd sourcing corrections"
I use it on both the Atrix and Xoom

+1 for Navfree by Navmii on the Market.
Works very well in the UK, so imagine it should be fine for other countries in Europe.
You just need to switch on GPS, it doesn't need an active data connection since you have to pre-download the entire map for the country to your sd card.

thanks guys for your advice,
will use navfree,

Caching map files before you go or from your hotel wifi works for Google Maps, as I discovered during a recent trip to England.
Another option is Mapdroyd. The maps aren't hi-res, but perfectly acceptable for navigation.

ok,thanks for that info will try,will go loaded with all app that i can find,to make sure i dont get lost there...

In the UK, the best of all is MM Tracker which loads up qct files of real OS maps. You need to find the non encrypted versions of these though... Google maps in the UK are pretty hopeless with lots of errors. They are also just road map style charts, rather than proper maps.
