[Q] Alternative to Google maps ?? - General Topics

HI
Any help/suggestions will be appreciated ..
I am going totally Gapps independent .. but can't seem to find an alternative to Google maps ..
I searched of course but couldn't decide .. & to have to download every possible choice to test is tiring, time/data consuming and utterly illogical..
So please suggest something you already know/use ..
-OpenSource
-Privacy Wise
-Usable in the middle east ; especially in Saudi Arabia ( for this particular reason I really think it's necessary to convey this in Arabic ; so I hope that I won't be violating the forum rules )
أحتاج بديل لخرائط قوقل يحترم الخصوصية ويغطي المملكة العربية السعودية ومنطقة الخليج
ويكون دقيق و مفتوح المصدر
شكرآ مقدم. .
Thank you in advance

Well I use orux maps which is a great mapping software though I don't know if it is open source or not. Also if you don't want to use a app you could try open street map though I think it may be available in orux maps as well.

Thank you ... @A_Bunny that's pretty helpful
I have a lot to learn about this thing ..
I don't even know how those work ..

Personally I always use Maps.Me. It's free, and it uses the open source OpenStreetMaps.org maps. Highly detailed, totally offline. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mapswithme.maps.pro

Thank you @ShadowLea
I really appreciate you weighing in on this

How to do it?
Does anyone want to help me go about replacing Google maps with the above maps?
I will test both suggestions .. many thanks to members who contributed , I really am thankful.

Solution for hebrew in WM6

i installed TNT's latest rom and Paragon LENg since eyron doesn't work on WM6. (especially not with iGO), what happened is that i couldn't read my sms messages. the solution is to go to settings\system\leng options and mark "Disable interface translation". hebrew works well using that option.
i checked it on 2 more ROMS and it does the job.
hope it helps someone.
to get Paragon's LENg.. you can just search for it in google... i assume i shouldn't post a link here.
good day
(and might i suggest, a thread for solutions which contains ONLY solutions written by people in that manner... "solution for..." would be great for people like me who're pretty much useless.. )
Thanks for your input! had the same issue.
hey nir,
i'm from israel too , u should jump over VIPER forum where all the pro's hanging there.
anyway about Paragon , the issue is that it's eating memory.
like u start u'r Wizard with 29 MB free but when installing paragon on it , u gon have 26 or 25.
to make your wizard with less lags u should change the region ( in the setting of LENG ) to United states, then the calender will he in english and not akward hebrew !
hope i helped !
toda ahim shelo
now i'll check it out
hope is gonna work!!!!
thank you mohen.. but unfortunatly the university sends me meetings in hebrew and i don't have the willpower nor time to change them to english. also, i need my regional settings to be in hebrew..
i tried changing the region but it also requires everything to be in english.

Software for sending gps locations in set time ?

Hi everybody , do you know any software for WM phones which can send actual GPS locations via internet to my e-mail ?
I need that , because whed i loose my phone or theft are in the action i can from my home locate my phone .
Thanks very much for the solutions . Sorry for my english
Only thing I can think of is Adeona (linux, mac, xp/vista). It uses ip addresses so it's quite stealthy and the mac version can also take snapshots using isight.
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Adeona_for_Windows/1222454316/1
Being OS one can only hope for a mobile version.
quote adeona site:
"We are exploring the possibility of Adeona for mobile devices, like the iPhone or Windows Mobile."
thanks , but i can only wait

I bought HD2 from EXPO 2009, come with Free 2nd Original Battery & McGuider Navigation Installation CD from Sygic + Free South East Asia Maps
If I'm not wrong, this should strongly recommanded. Since hTC come with these free gift.
Btw, I'm a Singaporean.
I have the following installed and all work PERFECT! (havnt used pinchzoom- but all these have full WVGA resolution)
1. NDrive
2. Navteq (MapMyIndia)
3. Destinator-7 (Special HD version for WVGA)
4. GARMIN
and more on this thread, i wanna ask you that whicih one is better, either buying a full map included set or just the software and get search for maps?
because it costs too much to get a map covarage for both turkey and romania
thanks everyone!
Already discussed by a lot here,

Great Games...

...are there any for this device? I've downloaded a number that operate but are no good due to the Touch 2 being touchscreen only. There must be some - its windows 6.5!
Any help would be greatly appreciated as games are the missing link to a life of happiness with my phone
Many thanks
Chriss 1983 has a lot in a seperate thread.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645347...just checked and link is not there...perhaps he is working on them.
Attached is the list.
Thanks for this Frank, I'll have a good luck through.
i've tried Chriss's games , but none really liked me ... anywhere else ? some crazy-badass-sick russian sites ?
Sorry, I am not into games...... perhaps you check with serfer222 , xaoc747 , tom_codon or one of the other guys.....

Tegra3 gesture ....and nvcplscv.apk

Hi to all , i'm new on the site coz i would like to ask you a question and help that i couldnt find on any sites....
Sorry for my poor english and thanks to read me
I love so much my tablet (me301t) but the battery smelts like ice in front of sun ... i saw on htc one site that the nvcplsvc.apk is responsive of the tegra3 gesture and battery.. ok ... i have it in system/app but in rootunisnstaller application when i click on nvcplsvc its tell me the application is not installed anymore ( all others are ok) . I noticed that there is not odex file anymore....
So i would like to know if you have the same problem or if i made a mistake?
if all is ok for you, can a big hearted geek put these files online? (Asus signed)
(nvcplsvc.apk / nvcplsvc.odex )
Or did i miss something.......?
Thank u very much
