Hi,
So because I'm bad at travelling around London and changing from train to train etc I was wondering if there is an App where either I can insert address and plan my journey with real-time updates or the app will automatically choose the best way with shorcuts and will update me with real time updates. I would also want for it to work via GPS if it's possible since not always I can have access to Wi-Fi. What do you guys recommend in this situation ?
P.S I don't mind once spending few bucks for an app which actually works and helps me.
Hi.
Try TripAdvisor app.

I have been looking for a simple GPS app that would basically allow me to set my location when I arrive at a trail head and (if needed) show me the way back. Another example would be if my wife and I were at a large mall, I could set the location of the car, and then at the end of the day, turn the app back on and have point in the direction of my car with the distance...
I hope this makes sense!
Just like the Bushnell BackTrack.
I would search this way

Thanks for your reply...I was just coming to say that after three days of searching I finally found an app that suits my needs perfectly. It figures that I post this here and then find it a few minutes later...
GPSspot = Perfection!

I'm using the program RUNsat, you can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613381
There's a new version.
Not tried these, but maybe of help:
this (paid) lets you view OS maps on the move:
http://www.memory-map.co.uk/pda_mobile.htm
this (free) lets you get speed, altitude, distance, etc. and data for post analysis using PC:
http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2010/04/28/gps-sport-tracker-1-3-0-free-gps-app-for-windows-mobile.html
Let us know what you find useful as I'd be interested in what's good for UK hiking too.

i use memory map both for off road driving and for hiking. because os maps are used then not only can you see tracks etc. but you can work out heights and elevations as contour lines are used.
in addition, you can plan a route in advance and put this as an overlay on your map. you can then follow this realtime using your gps. also, the route you are actually taking draws a track which you can save and keep.
by using tweaks you can rotate the screen as you wish.
because the memory map prog is driven from your pc you only have to download a section of a whole map therefore saving memory card space. installed prog runs fine from the memory card.

MemoryMap +1
memory map for navigation.
Runsat for logging routes, (also known as Navmi).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613381
depends on what you need..
Runsat can download openstreetmap/opencyclemap tiles, which depending on where you're heading can include quite a lot of data including paths and contours.. but obviously memory map has much more data on it ..
I use both quite a lot, professionally and otherwise, and contribute to openstreetmap/opencyclemap so I tend to like using that data whenever I can
Was wondering if there was a GPS app that allows you to basically plan a route with multiple stops? For example, say my girlfriend wants to go to a bunch of garage sales spread all over the city. Or say I have some items that need to be delivered to various locations through out the city. I want to be able to simply add each address into the app and then have it guide me to each based on location nearest me, then once I've arrived at a location it then guides me to the next stop on the route. I've only really tried google navigator and know it's not a feature of that app as of yet. Anyone know of any that do this, paid or free? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Technical term: Multi Destination Routing.... You can go for CoPilot, CoPilot also has several features such as fuel prices and multi-destination routing. You can save maps....
. CoPilot’s software works on maps that are downloaded to the SD card on the phone. The larger storage of a SD card allows you to fit the maps for all of North America on the phone. CoPilot also has a nice interface that is easy to use while driving. If you are used to a conventional GPS system like a Garmin, CoPilot is the closest you will come in terms on interface. I also prefer the voice alerts much better on CoPilot than on Google Maps. Copilot does everything you need in a GPS app, even thought it may not include some of the fancier features like Street View.
Pros:
Maps stored on SD card
Live features such as weather, traffic and fuel prices
Most driver rriendly UI
Supports multi-destination routing
Cons:
Price, the app costs $29.99 USD but is only a one time fee
Requires an SD card with at least 2GB of free space
Thanks for the suggestion, that does seem a little pricey but sounds like it's pretty much a full featured GPS and would be worth the money. I'll look into it! Thanks again!!

sygic as well (my personal fave) - here multiple stops is called an itinerary
Hi,
My wife is running the London Marathon this weekend. I'm not. But... I am going to see her off and meet her at the finishing line. Herein lies my problem. SWMBO has got a Desire, I need her to be running with Android app that will allow realtime GPS tracking, so myself (HD2 NAND) and family at home (internet browser) can follow her progress.
Options so far:
Latitude
Gylmpse
RunKeeper w/ elite subscription ($4.99 pm)
The problem with Latitude is that it doesnt seem to perform realtime updates. 15-30 minutes have passed without updating when testing; this isnt acceptable.
Glympse's only shortfall is that the max time is 4hrs. The wifes fit and will probably finish a little while after 4hrs. I dont want her to have to mess about reconfiguring settings at such a late stage into the race though.
Not yet signed upto RunKeeper Elite; not able to comment on it.
Does anyone else have any reccomendations?
Thank you
You can try OruxMaps to see if that suits your needs. It can upload live tracking to MapMyTracks.com.
OruxMaps can use live maps (e.g. Google Maps) as well as offline maps. However, it was not obvious how to do live tracking. You must first start "normal" tracking. Then, press MENU and select the "hidden" LIVE TRACKING in TOOLS menu. (The Live Tracking option does NOT appear unless you're already in tracking mode.)
Thanks - will try out!
You can always use seekdroid! it hasn't real time tracking but everytime you press locate it will give you the other phone's location based on GPS on that device.
Try it out
My wife and I would like to be able to track our two teenaged sons whereabouts. I have been playing with several apps. My wife and I and one son has an android phone, while the other son has an iphone. Can someone recommend a good app to do this? I don't mind paying for the app, but don't want a monthly fee. Also, by the time we all download and find out if the app is good, the return time will expire. Any help is appreciated!

What about Google Latitude? Do you want consistent monitoring/logging or just one that does find the phone based on a request?
Lookout (Premium) does a great job locating phones per request.

Latitude could work for all of us on Droids, but the iPhone presents a different issue. Boy do I hate iphones!
Cerbrerus or SeekDroid.

Thanks! Unfortunately Droid only.
Icloud can locate an iphone via the web
Just enable location services and turn on the icloud account. Then you can log into icloud web site whenever you want and click, find my iphone.
With android, Google doesn't offer that, it's available through multiple 3rd party apps.

Thanks for all the help here. iPhone does have a latitude app. Final question. In lattitude, is there a way to see the complete address of the person you are tracking? I have checked and can't find a way to do that. Thanks again!
Have an idea.. no ofence or so but let your teens be teens and stop tracking them... Oo
What the hell if my dad or mom would tell me they want to track me all the time i would ask them if they Fell on the ground and got hurt or something..

i've worked on a project like that for a few weeks... couldn't make it happend as the people in my country don't really rely on technology :/
Recommendation
As I understood you are looking for free cross platform application for both Android an iOS. In this case I'd like to suggest you recently launched Fameelee - Family Locator.
This app is free in case you connect up to 4 family members and It has the following features:
- track real time location of your family members
- check location history of your family members for the last 30 days
- in-app private messaging
- GPS notification (called geofencing) once some your loved ones reach some particular places (you match them by yourself)
- ability to send "alarms" with you current GPS location and video of your surrounding
- track sms and call logs of your family members (premium version)
- get notified once your family member speeding (premium version)
In premium version you can connect up to 10 members.
So hope this app will meet your needs.
