If Tomtom o IGo does not have maps for yor country, use a program like GPSTuner in which you can create maps for any area in the world taking them from Google Maps.
You can also use Google Maps mobile or Windows Live Search to load maps on the go and perform local search.
Maltese maps
Hello daniell
If you are from Malta you can check at Medcom Gzira (the one infront of Paul and Rocco carwash in Testaferrata street). I know a person who have a kaiser and installed Garmin software with maltese maps and he's using gps without problems. Only drawback is that maps and software are about the old LM40.
Regards,
I broguth the HTC Kaiser, and i though i have 1 free download from TOmTom, but i cannot seem to find where i cna get this download, can someone tell me, thanks
There are Garmin Navigator Maps for Malta, which are able to route you to your destination (not only showing your position on the map).

About Google Map...

I was wondering is there a way that i could just get a full map of my area so i don't need wifi to use it? or is there a way to save the parts i've searched for while i'm on wifi so when i'm driving i could used the saved maps? or would there just be a better program other then tomtom7 because i can't seem to get the maps working.

Depends on where you are located (country/territory) really... Some navigation applications focus on specific regions. Where are you?
I live in Canada more specific Toronto so i would be fine with just Toronto maps
Can anyone answer me ?
There is no such thing , or it wouldn't be free...
You do need 3G with a all-you-can-eat plan as downloading google maps takes pretty much k-bytes when you download in real-time the Satelite maps (much less if you download the street map of course) , and I presume they are even only put in a temp cache and not "stored" in the application for re-usage.
(not sure about this as I flash my device constantly as for Google Maps).
I agree about the all-you-can-eat plan for GPS. In fact, you're better off getting an unlimited plan anyway if you really want to get the best your Diamond has to offer.
So what other good GPS programs are there other then Tomtom with CA maps?
I use Garmin Mobile XT and it is absolutely brilliant!
You can also checkout CoPilot and iGo
Google Map
Hi
The diamond has GPS, can google map use GPS to get the map or do I need wifi or 3G data plan? I did see options to use GPS but it connects to my phone line using GPRS, since GPS is free but not able to get it to work using mapking either..
Anyone have this problem?
Thanks

I feel you don't understand the basic difference between GPS and GPRS
See all what GPS does is connect to the satellites and get your longitude and latitude data .. this data is traced on the maps by an GPS application like google maps , Tom Tom , Mapking ..etc ..so you need to download the maps either using EDGE/3G or store them on your phone/internal memory ..
Hope you get the idea ..
Google Map
Ic, then can I store the whole map of my area with google map? like I do with Mapking and use GPS to find my location in google map, like a do with mapking?
terracrosser
Hi Guys,
Wanted to put you in the right direction; check out terracrosser.
Just installed it and I will be testing it out on a bicycle trip, but seems to be perfect for this.
There is also another thread about it:

I seem to remember that map4pda stores the maps locally, you download the ones you want via your home wifi etc and it will look in its cache before downloading them from the web when you're away from home.
Tip: make sure you download *all* the map tiles at the resolutions you need to avoid data charges.

GPS Navigation App for Manila, Philippines

I'm wondering what GPS Navigation app is best for Manila, Philippines. I badly need help with directions, and Google Navigation doesn't work here yet.
Any suggestion free/paid (preferably free, but I doubt there's one)?
been searching for something like this as well.... nothing yet. our only hope is to get garmin to release software for the android (since they are releasing the garmin phone soon anyways). i believe only garmin has maps for manila... but even these are probably not official since the garmin website doesnt indicate that they have maps of the phillipines.
Yeah. I have a Garmin device, but I haven't seen a good enough map. I think, there are good maps out there, though.
I hope, we can extract that GPS navigation app from Garminfone
Sygic has maps for Metro Manila only for the Philippines.
Im also searching something like this... software that could support Malaysia map... need a free one... had anyone tried IGO for android?
Kumusta mga kapatid, now I'm not sure if this does include Manila, I was too lazy to read through this thread, all I know is that its supposed to be international navigation, so its worth a try.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887
The best Garmin maps for the Philippians are free and located here http://roadguide.ph/Download.html#
Will install fine on a Garmin nav only device, winmo, symbian, etc but do nothing for any Android phone that doesn't run a gmapsupp.img, which is every Android except the Garmin ones, at this point.
i've been using the google maps navigation hack for use outside of USA. currently been driving in singapore and I use it quite frequently and it works like a charm. you may want to give that a try.
As long as you can find a suitable map file motonav will use it.
wow
wil try this.. hope this works on my diamond..
Use Garmin Mobile XT
Mga Pre!!!
The best GPS application I am using right now is Garmin Mobile XT.. Its really cool on my HD2 and i found updated maps for Caloocan area, every streets are updated.. Im also enjoying it here at jubail City KSA.. 3 Thumbs up!!
Sygic Mobile Maps
I have been using Sygic Mobile Maps 10 on my N1 for a couple of weeks now. It has a map just for Metro Manila, so just like MapKing the map area turns black as you leave the Metro Manila area.
I find it pretty accurate for Manila navigation.
Hello,
Please do share where you got your 'hacked' google maps navigation' and/or how you installed it. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, that hack won't work if Navigation isn't available for your country yet. I'm on CyanogenMod, and this allows me to run Google Maps navigation, but because there's no data for my area (Metro Manila, Philippines), I still can't use it.

can you give me link for garmin mobile
using papago .
sent from my satellite , s6xmeup
by using the Navdroyd, i get an accurate navigation in manila area and even outside of metro manila
try Navitel v3.5 or v5.0 (for Android), roadguide.ph had given a standard Philippine map on Navitel users, similar map being used by Garmin softwares. Works great on my GT P1000.
will google navigation work in manila? It sounds like the maps will load but will the navigation work?

A garmin-like navigation app for Android

Hi,
I am looking for a navigation app that can give me directions using arrows and voice and the maps are offline. So I do no have to connect to the internet any more with support for saving my own places (restaurants, hotels .... etcc)
thank you

Does iGo has maps for india?. I googled bt m not able to find ny.
Sent from my GT-I5801 using XDA App
You can also try Papago X5. Its working like a charm on Gingerbread.
Give a try to copilot
For me there´s no replacement for Garmin because of the lackage of detailed maps of my country for the mentioned gps software (Papago, Igo, etc). That´s why I´m stick on WM and using android SD
I tested Papago, it´s a good gps software but the only maps I found were very basic, so...
In fact, I´m considering buying an android phone and a cheap Garmin gps (like nuvi 205).
I use CoPilot, also bought the license .. its the best navigation !

iGO free on the market??? Where?
Otherwise, i like iGO a lot. Everything is like 20x faster than Garmin and interface is nice.
But still nowhere to beat Garmin. It will show your position only on roads, voice navigation is a bit weird and it's nowhere as customizable as garmin.
Garmin announced software for iOS, but it will be online, so why bother. They failed completely at smartphone area.
sygic aura for sure

Let´s stay in family, why not to use Google Maps which includes Google Navigation...also you can download full Google Maps (and lots of other maps) with Locus (market free)...
For Google Navigation just search for BrutMod Maps here in xda, or flash Hyperdroid...
wow nice. I never used google navigation since it needed data (i don't have data plan) and was not availble in my country anyway.
Is there a way to cache POIs, so you can search through them without internet connection?
Co-Pilot is good for UK coverage and you can de-activate WM licence and re-activate it in Android.
It also has a real time traffic option (only cost me £10 per year)
Bought the USA version for holidays for $10 and same for USA traffic great value compared to buying a TOMTOM/Garmin device
Co-Pilot looks the same as well on android as WM so easy to use and you use androids keyboard rather than abcd keyboard on WM
I prefer it to WM TomTom tbh as it is multi touch even in WM but TomTom device's HD Traffic is the best I have seen
I second Copilot Live 8. US-only for Android is a mere $4.99 at alk.com. Other places are all reasonably priced. Works perfectly on my HD2/Android 2.2.1.

Navi for WP7

it is true that the only program to navigation for WP7 is Navigon?
No, not exactly. Navigon only works for like 4 countries and if you look through this forum i think there are a few navigation apps out there.
Navigon works with every european country as long as you have the corresponding iPhone Navigon maps and with the rest of the world if you bother to read a bit and change a few settings manually

Thats true I am using it myself and you can get almost any country, however it is a free t-mobile app and it is limited to a basic format but its is functional and works well.

not true.
i have a Navigon select now and applied some maps from iphone (originally only four country available).
so i got all EUROPE where uk, france, belgium, netherland,germany and POLAND!!!
i tested myself and i'm glad to say that that all is up to date. sometimes better than tomtom maps in poland.
navi software is way whorse than tomtom but maps are great.

Does anyone know if we can take iphone voices pack too ?
I had no problem to install navigon and maps but I need french voices :/

You know, I prefer to measure with better than average.
tom tom is a mistake, still on Polish maps dont have some streets in Warsaw.
I'm also tested the Navigon and current maps of WP7 (iphone) are outdated.
if anyone can find an idea how to insert a map from version 6.5 or 7.4 that would be super.

Navigon will work on WP7, if you have the navigon maps of Iphone.
Ok so just to get it straight, if I want to use Navigon on my windows phone
I need to download the I Phone maps
(which aren't the same as the Android Navigon maps, currently Q4 2010 ? ).
Then I need to install the T-Mobile (light) Navigon Software i.e. without street-view and stuff (--> Were do I get this app, googled but couldn't find it)

There is a way although it requires more work. Just read the corresponding topic in the Windows Phone 7 general section of the site.
Didn't bother personally as I'm fine with both english and german voice guidance
I just installed Navigon and I've got 41 maps to boot:
Albania.map
Andorra.map
Austria.map
Belarus.map
Belgium.map
Bosnia and Herzegovina.map
Bulgaria.map
Croatia.map
Czech Republic.map
Denmark.map
Estonia.map
Finland.map
France.map
FYROM.map
Germany.map
Gibraltar.map
Greece.map
Hungary.map
Isle of Man.map
Italy.map
Latvia.map
Liechtenstein.map
Lithuania.map
Luxemburg.map
Monaco.map
Montenegro.map
Netherlands.map
Norway.map
Poland.map
Portugal.map
Republic of Ireland.map
Romania.map
San Marino.map
Serbia.map
Slovakia.map
Slovenia.map
Spain.map
Sweden.map
Switzerland.map
United Kingdom.map
Vatican City.map
When I installed a patched version, it immediately downloaded German, Austrian, Lichtenstein and Swiss maps. Fine by me. I added Luxemburg, the Netherlands, the UK and Belgium for now.
It's up for grabs on newsgroups.

Actually, Navigon / iPhone maps have better coverage than Polish famous Automapa. The number of POIs is also reasonable.
