hey folks,
i just got my new sony sw2 and was wondering if the following is possible:
i want to use my sw2 as an extended display for my sony xperia z running oruxmaps (or any other software, that is able to shout gpx-routes).
i already found "GPS Maps for SmartWatch2", but it only has navigation features.
my idea is to wear my sw2 when im mountainbiking as a navigation-system (it´s enough to have a simple map, my route and a location indicator).
any ideas?
regards,
bla
Theres a gps map on the playstore

Im thinking of buying the newly announced Acer Stream android phone
Im new to the android idea so A few things i dont understand:
i want to use gps in some special cases a few times a year,
other than that i want just to be able to view maps on my device,
no need for turn-by-turn navi, i dont need : after 1km turn left , follow the road,
can i just view maps 2d maps and my position for free?(excluding the price of the map being downloaded from the web)
cann i store G maps on the phone? donwload them when im in a wifi zone, for example a map of a country?
-if im in a area where there is no 3G or connection can i still use the gps function? Can i lock a position and then see it on the blank map?
What about some longitude and latitude numbers and then it shows me the direction and how far is it?
-do i get a compass?
Or would nokia n8's Ovi maps suite my needs better?
Thats all for now thanks
Any opinion is appreciated
Also for example Can i download Google Goggles for free?
how many apps are free and how many are paid?
bumb bumb bumb
Google Maps and Buzz are free yes. As for saving maps i do not know, maybe try search for an app that does that.
what about using the gps for latitude and locking position in a no coverage area, with no maps and the using it for distance to locking point. desstination and direction
anyone
i want to know this
i have an acer stream and it is a very nice package
I used to use TomTom maps on Winmo phones... but i dont think it's on Android yet?
So whats another good map/navigation app? It cant be like google maps where it relies on a net connection to download the map, it needs to have the map with the app itself like TomTom does. It takes up a load of space, but i've got a large SD card so not a problem.
I use copilot and sometimes motonav. Motonav is bit slower than copilot, both speedcams and full postcodes.

sygic mobile maps
iGo my Way
I've tested a lot of them and my favorites are definitely Copilot, NDrive, Google.
If you've updated Google Maps via Market, you've received this blue arrow in
the app list. And the navigation with it works like charm. Also Copilot works great.
Much more features and options, but sometimes it shows me stupid ways to drive.
The very best I think is NDrive. Fast and beautiful app and the best navigation.
So if you don't want to pay, use Google. If you are willed to pay you should
try Copilot Live or NDrive 10
+1 for CoPilot

I'm using NDrive. The maps are very complete even on remote locations. Well at least in Europe, I haven't tryed it anywhere else.
It works offline. My data connection is very costly here, I don't always get service and it drains the battery so offline was a must for me.
Google works nice except for the online thing. I haven't tryed copilot.
Thanks, i tried 3 of them... Copilot, Ndrive, and Sygic Mobile Maps...
Copilot i think is the best, the most complete and polished. Followed closely by Ndrive.
But i've not really tested them while driving yet so i'll have to see what one has the best routes...
For some reason copilot is not working properly one my phone. It's keep crashing, i am unable to download maps for uk. There are even some comments one android market regarding this application, some users say they got the same problem after last update. I will give ndrive a try, maybe itd will worki for uk.

Looking for Navigation application
hi guys,
For past few days I am looking for a navigation application which doesnt cost the data charges. I found one such application in Papago but not working in my Xperia X10 rooted mobile on version A.0.24.
Would appreciate if someone can help me installing a nice navigation app...

You should try MOTONAV it has resolution 854x480 fits X10 perfectly, but its kind of hard to find maps for it.
EDIT:wrong post selection, sorry!

Copilot is a paid application. Is there any link from where I can download it free.
I have a trip booked to Paris in about a month and I'd like a smartwatch that I'm able to glance at to see directions when I'm walking around the city. Ideally I'd like to not have to buy a data plan while I'm there so I'd be working offline.
I know the Pebble has OsmAnd+ that will deliver turn-by-turn navigation while offline, but I'm curious if there's any app that works in a similar fashion for the Sony Smartwatch 2 as that's the watch I'd rather buy.
I've searched the forums but haven't been able to find anything concrete, I know there's some apps that will display a GPS map but I'm more looking for the directions than just a map.
Any help is much appreciated, even if it's pointing me to a thread that contains this info already
The "Google maps smartwatch" extension forwards Google maps navigation pretty well, which will give you walking directions with data.

Hi,
Has anyone used any Activity Trackers - Fitbit, Withings Pulse for example with the 4.2.2 firmware any success? Or do they only work with 4.4?
I use Moves at the moment but wish sony would update Xperia L to 4.3, cyanogen is a bit of hope anyway
Thanks for any replies!
No one?
Anyone tried any fitness trackers? Which one and did it work?
anyone?
gear S3 can make a pin on a map and you can see where you are if you have an internet connection
but i want to use only the integrated gps an see the coordinate where i am
anyone known an app for doing it??
tia giano
no one knows?
or it is not possible?
Hi
Definitely possible, but will require someone to write an app. The default returned data is Lat/Lon, it would be necessary to convert to the grid system used in your country (eg OS-GB for UK). Never done any Tizen dev, but had planned on having a play with it over Xmas when I should have some free time. I want a 'GPS' app, and a mechanism to control my hive heating from the watch.
Nigel
i'll be happy if you can share the GPS app
my wife has a gear fit 2 and i bought a watchface (probably named gps...) that can do the above
i think that UTM/WGS84 would be great

GPS Coordinate standalone app for Gear S3
Search for the Gear S3 a GPS standalone coordinates app
Can be such an app programming, since roads maps
On the ship, in the mountains, during kite flying.
In an emergency, coordinates would be very helpful.
Would pay in the App Store any price for it, think there are many others
Also the so an app would need
Hope anyone can Help
