+++++THE BIG FAQ+++++
CAN I NAVIGATE OFFLINE?
Many user asked me the same question: Is possible to use Colombo totally OFFLINE? The answer is..it depends on where you are located and the chance you have to put google maps of your area offline, seek in internet several packages to put google maps offline, and you have chance to do have a totally free offline gps navigator, using Colombo.
This software is intended "as-is", without any warranty, as EULA described.
Youtube video, example seeking a place in France:

Youtube video, last version of Colombo GPS, uses the new Galaxy Note gps hardware for a turbo gps fix:

Thank you "jsomby" for supporting the project by having bought the App from the Market.
This is a pre-version, not quite final for the market. Currently there is no change at all between 0.6.9 beta and 0.7.0 alpha, it is an internal naming procedure.
Best regards
where is link? want to try it

Excuse the confusion, but the thread was moved here and the attachments were not available for a short time.
Feel free to download and have fun
Looking forward to hear your opinions.
new OsmAnd Navigation, Plugin
Hope you find the new plugin useful.
Love the app. It does a much better job of showing map details when zoomed out than Navfree. The one issue I am having is it constantly says rerouting when I am driving straight down the current rout. Sometime every 30 seconds. Any way to fix this?
OsmAnd doesn't reads the German addresses format... Is there a workaround?
OsmAnd doesn't reads the French addresses format... Is there a workaround ?
For instance this is the adress of a church in Paris 63 Rue De Caumartin 75009 Paris cannot be found

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll implement these feature in future
About new device notification if you open the settings page you can see "Monitoring Wifi" parameter.
This means that every x seconds the app scans the network and checks if a new device is connected.
In order to monitoring the network you must click on the wifi symbol on the main page.
When you click on the wifi symbol you see a yellow triangle near the symbol, this means that you are monitoring that network

Thanks, no instruction in app about this
Also you could add notification icon option for those who wanna know that the app is running in background, this also helps preventing it from being closed.

The writing of this application prompted me to check the status of the window in the greenhouse at the cottage, the temperature in the room, the status of the LEDs on the oil heater control panel, weather conditions outside the window, and also to know if the mice are running at night on tables and on sofas (it's time to arrange glue traps or not). That is, security, safety and security. Nobody wants to burn half the street in the village, just because he left the oil heater on full power. If you put the phone in the most prominent place in the middle of the room, so that the front camera was aimed at the weather station screen, and the back camera on furniture and on the street, then all the above requirements can be fulfilled if you take a photo and upload it via email or FTP. It is clear that this is a one-way connection and one can only analyze the incoming information, but nevertheless this is also useful information, because you can call neighbors to run and check what's happened. And all that is needed is an old phone on Android.
1. Observation of the gas boiler.
2. Monitoring the state of the electrical network (sends SMS if the voltage is gone 220V).
3. Monitoring the condition of electrical appliances.
4. Temperature outside and inside the room.
5. Change the control parameters via SMS.
6. Send status reports to e-mail or FTP.
7. Works on all Android, starting with 2.3.
8. Careful of battery charge.
9. The level of the GSM signal.
10. The level of charge of the telephone battery.
11. Saving Internet traffic.
