i've installed googlemaps beta and is wonderful but to use this software as tomtom is too expansive (sownload map from internet). it's could be possible to go with offline map?
thx
As far as i know... no.
The google maps downloads the map data on the fly (as you scroll).
I have a 5GB data plan, so it's not a big problem for me
yes, on the fly.
in france, we have illimythic, it's an unlimited data so it's perfect for google maps, rss news, internet .... and it's only 6 euros more than a normal subscription.

You lucky ......
You might wanna read up on this post for using google maps offline
search for a software named: Terracrosser.
Search google for a program called Google Navigator lets you download maps on phone you can select an area of a map and it will download that area with all zoom levels and views, its very good. Plus it has neat features like street view (before google maps had it) kml creation and other stuff.
Use the google navigator.

Is it worth my $59? I really want offline satmaps, might try the hacks (proxy to download map tiles, not the illegal hacks of Navigator)

Which is now called Global Navigator... this program uses google maps info to feed and allows offline map support, you can also download a certain area of the map at a defined zoom level. its great!
There is a news regarding that it will be possible to use Google Maps offline.
I have heard this news two days ago. Is it possible now? Is it true?
If not, is there any way to do so?
Thanks by now...
I've just installed google map mobile Ver 4.1 on my HTC touch HD. I noticed that if i search for "airport", it will show a few places from all over the world. Is there any way to configure it such that it only search for "airport" within a specific country or the country you are currently at?
I think signing up for, and using whilst in Google Maps Mobile, Google Latitude may help you with this situation.
When I use Voice Search for places like "Pizza Hut", it shows me the Pizza Huts around my GPS/Triangulated position... and I'm signed into the Latitude Service.
Don't take my word for it though.
I just wanted to know is it possible to make the brut navigation use the original google maps instead of the brut-google maps? I'm asking this because the brut version of google maps is old and the "Make available offline" feature of google maps which downloads the selected area in the map and stores it in the sd card is not available.
"Brut navigation" is a hack in Google Maps APK.
Obviously, you can't use the hack if you're installing a whole different, regular Google Maps APK. The hack isn't there, and there's nothing to use.
I need an offline navigation app for walking. I've tried a bunch of different apps and a bit of Googling, I couldnt find an answer.
Google Maps lets me cache maps, but doesn't let me do offline navigation.
OsmAnd lets me do offline navigation, but the way it goes is really long. KML not supported either.
I can get the KML from Google, that's no problem. I just need an app that has a map and a line of the path I'm going. If I have to get the KML from Google, I can do that. OsmAnd is the closest I came, but they were giving 50+ miles walking directions when Google gave 16 mi directions to and from the same place.
It can be free or paid app. I just really want one that works. If you could cache the trip on Google Maps, that would be perfect because the maps are cachable and I don't need voice turn by turn, I can look at the map and follow a line. I just don't think you can do that.
Thanks for any help.
Offline Walking Navigation
Of course .. As soon as I finally ask for help, I find one that's perfect to my needs.
OruxMaps has KML importing and map caching. Allows you to reverse the track as well, so it will fit my needs perfectly.
Just thought I'd post in case anyone happens to stumble across this.
Hello, i wonder if there is any maps app that uses the Google Maps API but isn't Google Maps (as it's heavy and not battery friendly).
I use and like Here to drive, but it lack places to research as Google Maps is perfect on that.
