Hello everyone,
I started delivering food and phone navigation is my main item to find the place. I have tried google maps, waze, maps.me and copilot(paid version) and all of them disappointed me.. It's hard to explain what kind of places they don't locate at all, it would be easier to show but long story short iPhone stock Maps app find every single location and leads you to the door compared to android ones because they bring you to the street and say "you have arrived" or "your destination is on the right" when you need house #24 and you end up at #65.
What navigation would you suggest using or trying out to find these locations or I should just mark the location on my google maps when I find the place so next time it would be easier to find it.
I hope any of this makes sense, I tried everything and this forum is my last hope.. I have 20 minutes to deliver food and I spend 15 minutes looking for a place and then having to call the customer so he could guide me to his house..
P.S. if you need any information about what specific locations i'm looking for let me know, I didn't write here so post wouldn't be too long.
Hi
Regarding best navigation android application or other kind of android application everything it`s subjective and you won`t find on xda a proper discussion about it , you better search on Google and also , the developer`s website would provide more information as he is developing it.
The accuracy of location details may vary do to maps updates and application`s built in engine so try and find the one it suits you , good luck !

Hello,
I've been searching here and there, without any satisfactory results so I thought of asking here too.
What I am looking for is a way to map all the free access points in my town (restaurants, libraries, petrol stations, etc) and share them to the world (over Google Maps or something). I've found a few services, but their maps seem to be rather empty around Romania.
So, if you can recommend me a good wifi access points sharing service, feel free to name it here.
PS: If it has an Android application it would be even better.
Edit: Could a moderator could change the thread's title to "Searching for a wireless mapping tool", please? Thanks!
You looking for something like this?:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hogdex.WifiMapMakerFree
Something like that. But this app doesn't seem to work inside although I know for sure that I have a few hotspots in the building. And I cannot find any sharing option.
Anything else?
Hello there! This is the first time I write in the forum, but I've been following it since 2 years by now (or even more, actually!). I'm "relatively" new, so I hope I'm writing in the right section.
I'm working hard to be a developer and recently I've been contacted by private people to make a new gps app. I've never worked with these kind of stuff, so grabbing gps signals, transform it to show on a map your postition etc. I'm a complitely noob on this side. So, I would ask to whom is more experienced than me some informations about how to handle these stuff, if there's some guide that shows how gps services (on Android, of course) works to catch the signal and send the informations to the app and so on, some good article and stuff like this.
Thanks for the eventual help .
Hello everyone. I have a quick question...
I currently own and operate a valet parking company and I am looking to have an app created that will give our guests the ability to either scan, using QR scanner, or send a text to a dedicated device so that we can have their vehicle up front and ready for them, 15-20 minutes before they walk out the door.
That is the basics of it, and I know there are other apps in the playstore which do this sort of operation, but I want to create my own.
So my question is, and I have done some research on it within XDA, but wanted to seek the guidance of someone who has done this sort of work. What are my best options for creating and getting this app developed, running, and installed within android and iOS?
Hopefully I am asking this in the correct forum location, if not, please advise me where to post.
Thank You very much!

You can post your requirement on freelancer dot com and set your price. many freelancers are available to do the work.
Once the app is developed, you can publish your app in google play.

Great, thank you!
Hey there, I was using OsmAnd for a cupple of weeks, but I have a great problem with it.. I love the feature, that it's totally offline and provides a huge database of Addresses and Pons, but I live in Europe and we use a bit different address format :
Street, House number, City, State
and OsmAnd uses internally the Format
housenumber, street, City, State
So I got the Problem of incompatibilities of all my stored addresses, but also for those provided by Google search.
Now there are true the Web several tips how to fix it, mainly to use the Contactplugin. I downloaded it several times from different addresses but the result was the same : force closing apk... Sometimes OsmAnd or mostly the plugin itself.
I would be glad if someone could help me out because it makes me really ****ed up, I would like to use it instead of maps, so I would be able to delete maps, but if I want to do so, I would like to have mostly the same features, and the details on the map are not the problem.
Thank you for your idea how to fix this issue
Hi there,
You could try asking here, [APP] [Free] OsmAnd (online/offline GPS navigation), though the thread is pretty old and small.
You could also try asking for help in Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Thank you and thread closed!
Hi all,
Firstly I'm sorry for posting a question here for what might seemingly be a simple task, however despite googling and researching for about 2 weeks I'm no closer to my goal.
I'm building a car dash using a nexus 7, and using kustom live wallpaper to create a unique frontend. Everything is going well however I am struggling with one thing...
I want to keep GPS on (no problem) which constantly grabs my location (no problem). I then want to set my location to a variable which is then pushed via tasker to KLWP (again, no problem!). My problem is that it outputs the WHOLE address. This is a problem. I've managed to get it down to displaying just the house number and the street name, however I want JUST the street name, eg King Street or Queens Avenue.
The idea is that while I'm driving along the road name is automatically displayed.
How on earth can I do this? My knowledge of tasker and variables is very limited and I've only been able to get this far by messing about with various settings but doing this for 2 weeks and not getting any closer is beyond frustrating. I know what I'm trying to achieve is not impossible which frustrates me more.
Guys and girls, I'm extremely grateful for any help or guidance.
Lastly, sorry for the whole 'new account 1 post which is a question' vibe. I've been coming here for years with a different account but I couldn't remember the password, and password reset returned a 404 page :/
Thanks again
Antony
