Hi everybody,
Im looking for an navigation app, like tomtom, but my problem is, the copilot and telenav are not avaliable to me, on my country, so, im searching for an app that works with offline maps, hopefully ported from another plataform, maybe winMO.
If someone know one... plz post it. Thx in advance.
(Sorry by my english )
By "not available", do you mean not available for purchase? Or do you mean that there are no maps for your area?
If simply not available for purchase, use market enabler.

I recommend sygic too, I use it with BR maps and it's ok.
Ndrive works too, and it's a lot smoother than sygic, but the final version is not out yet.
I looked for every navigation software available for android and only cygic and ndrive works in BR. And yes, they are expensive
there are waze.com, I don't know if BR maps already includet, but averyone can edit and record every street all over the world, its open for worldwide, it's free, open source, read more at waze.com

Look for Copilot Live or Sygic Mobile Maps.
whats your favorite one? And how can we try it out
I just use google maps. Works like a charm. Figured there was no sense in having multiple apps when one couple do it all. I have used htc nav, telenav, nav.

I like the Igo Motonav, but there is also about to be a Navigon release soon. Both very good, and "pretty" GUI's.
I like google maps for searching/finding locations, but when I want to navigate garmin is better for me. Anyone had any experience with the bing navi?
I use the google navigation software. Download it, then download the text to speech app, and you have a free version of the garmin/tomtom.
It does what i need, and for this price, I won't look elsewhere.
EDIT: As mentioned below - the disadvantage to Google Maps and Navigation is you need a 3G connection for updating maps and data.
I like copilot
It works well and it works even when you don't have cellular connection

I'll third this one. I've used CoPilot on WinMo, iPhone and now Android and I have to say it like it the best.
Previously I've used TomTom, Navigon, Garmin, xGPS and the Google Apps but I keep going back to CoPilot!

I like the offline cache thing too, but the map support is pretty outdated. I was in a road probably 2 minutes from my house, the name of the street shown is probably 10 years ago.
Are there any apps give turn by turn and can take external maps (like Garmin)? I don't live in an area that is supported by Copilot (or really anybody). I have found that OpenStreetMaps makes usable maps down here which I had working great with Garmin on my WinMo, but I feel like I'm kind of out of luck on Android.

Yea, I would use google navs too but the gps problem is too great, even with the fix I cant get a lock while driving. I wanted to know if 3rd party programs perhaps was better at picking up gps signal than google navs
With the current state of the gps on the sgs line of phones, I find the best navigation tools are a map, or asking for directions.

Unfortunate, but funny.
I like nav apps that store the maps on the phone since I've done a lot of driving in remote parts of Canada and the West; no cell or data in places.
I had Garmin XT on my old WinMobile phone. However the product is discontinued now.
I'm using Sygic Mobile Maps 10 and so far like it. sygic_dot_com
all you guys that say you like garmin or copilot or google nav should give ndrive a test. i used to love copilot then one of my friends introduced me to ndrive and since then i loved it!
i really have to say it is the best smartphone navi ever!!!

Can someone tell me what is exactly wrong with the GPS?
I live in Utah and I ve been using it without issues....just today for example I was testing the voice thingy so I said my home address and in no time the navigation was giving me directions on how to get there so reading all this about the GPS is very confusing to me.
Thanks
Hello guys,
Can you recomend to me the best navigation program for i9000?
The coverage of the maps should have mandatory Romania(from where am I) and of course other neighbour countries.
For instance I checked Navigon and on their site is written they cover only 10% of Romania.
I saw that there is iGo my Way for Android but I am not able to downlod it for trying as Navigon for instance.
Thanks,
BR,
Mircea
Well the only services that fully cover romania are Google Maps, Garmin and Nokia maps.
I like NDrive, is maybe not the best Navigation Programm but i would try it. Maybe the coverage is not so bad for Romania. You can download a trial version over the market.
try waze! its awesome
Copilot. Romanian map is quite good
Hi,
I'm using motonav with igo maps and is working pretty well.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
copilot has the best interface. motonav/igo is much accurate though.
Ndrive plus the have a new build for Androids with new maps.
What about the Samsung Navigation app? I use Maps and CoPilot depending on my signal and love it.

Hi Mircea,
For our country you can use google maps as well. They are very detailed. For external countries personally i use Navigon and works decent or you can buy Igo for android, from my last experiences with igo, the Romanian map is well done.
Anybody knows good Nav with Thailand map?
using CoPilot
I use copilot, great nav app.

I second that!
What is wrong with th ebuilt in Google nav? I don't get it, why people want a different app...
- The maps are always going to be the most up to date available, since they are live.
- The maps along your route are all pre-cached so OTA data use is not an issue either
- The turn by turn directions work great
- You have street view photos at your destination to help you find the exact place, no other app does that

I have tested CoPilot, NDrive and Navigon, and in my opinion NDrive has the best/easiest interface so far, and its working very well in galaxy. No problem with Navigon or Copilot but in bouth the interface was crappy. I dont like them att all. When TomTom isnt available for android I use NDrive in my Galaxy with Skandinavia map. But everybody has it own taiste about the interface.

I agree that google nav is pretty winful, but it has far from universal coverage. To my knowledge it is US/UK only, and the UK one is in beta, and although definitely very usable, it still has some problems, hence why those in the EU might need a paid app.
TBH if more satnav programs had trial versions then I'd be happy to pay for an app having discovered that it is genuinely better, but it takes a few days at least to work out if your satnav feels good to you, and after that theres no refund *sigh*.
I need help, please. I don't know what program to use for GPS on my Tattoo.

Google maps
Ndrive

i think IGO is the best for rooted device...
Navit works quite well, but there still is some polishing to do.
I can't find IGO in market, I dont suppose IGO made for android

IGO is defenitly the best
I think navigon works fine. Like it and it´s was a fair price .
Gmaps with Brut works fine if you only drive in you homecountry. Cost alot if you have roaming in other country

There is IGO made for Android devices and yes there is a version working on tattoo. Just search the forum.
I use Copilot live compatible with android 2.2 and 2.3 and not very expensive !

One more thing, you will need some more stuff to make it work, if you dont menage, PM me or add to MSN.
iGo is the best by far.

i'll try this, but i'm using navigon for about half year and it's great, no lag, much faster much precise then garmin on nokia n95
its very important to set your country... I just got navigon and here (brazil) it's worse than ****.
iGO is the best by far.
2nd is coPilot imho.
Ndrive ftw!
Vers. 2.2 and 2.3 Copilot is great, with original vers. 1.6 Navigon in Europe and
nDrive for the rest of world.
I've tried with Sygic with my CM7 firmware and successfully installed but couldn't run because it always displayed black screen and closed program. I don't know why and how to solve?
Now I'm trying Ndrive and it works for me.
Maybe I will try iGo also.
Try waze. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.waze
go pilot is the best
I have tested a few, and my favourite is Navigon.
However, it is one of the most expensive applications, and I can not buy maps for Scandinavia alone, so I'm looking for a replacement.
Unfortunately Google's Navigation is not available in Norway.
Which do you prefer?
Please take my poll, and I appreciate additional information and tips if you have tested several navigation systems.
Thanks!
I prefer copilot as google navigation does not allow or let you save fav places which are not on the map say for instance I am looking for a shop not in the search result so I look on the map,pin it but cannot save it in say shops or eating places like you can in copilot.
Yeah, me too. Copilot is great.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
am using Copilot too and am pretty much happy about it!
I found Navigon to be a very good and "light-weight" navigation software. It's easy to use, gives great directions and has a clean layout. Still it could benifit from more options and customizations as it's really not that advanced.
CoPilot is a great application also, but I think it's interface is too cluttered.
Yesterday I read a review about Sygic Aura, and bought the Scandinavian version for 19,99EUR. This is by far my favourite of these three as it has a really nice UI, great (and I mean really great) graphichs and is really easy to use but still has a lot of advanced feautures.
I agree, sigyc Aura is greate. Easy to use and really grate grafics and UI.
im useing "waze", you can find it on the market.
Guys, don't you think CoPilot is a bit inaccurate when calculating travelling time though?
My commute into work takes 1 hour, always has, TomTom agrees with me, but CoPilot thinks it'll take 1.5 hours.... strange...
Sygic Aura doesn't give you the price. you only can download the free version. Don't like this. I want to know how much I'm going to pay if I buy it. Won't even try it.
I've got LOCATIONS, but for me the best is TOMTOM. I had it on my Kaiser, and with its so small screen I was able on one little glance to read all important elements (next way out, speed, etc..)
NDrive is good and has fairly up to date australian maps, Aura lacks maps for australia it seems which is unfortunate.
Brut maps all the way buddy. Google it
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Sygic Aura all the way! But I do miss my igo8 on wm6.5
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Nobody talks about LOCATIONS PREMIUM.
Interesting navigation, but missing a lot of options. Not expensive.
Missing :
- enter adress from contacts (as MAPS)
- enter GPS with the coordinates.
each time you want to configure you have to go back to locations. it means shut the navigation down and open LOCATION.
Otherwise, its very clear navigation. GPS is very precise (suppose it doesn't depend of the program)
hope we'll soon have a good update...

Sure you're living in a big country. In Switzerland you walk 2 steps and you are in roaming!!!
In CoPilot I miss the following funktions.
When they are fixed I think it will be the best Nav-app:
Foto-nav - When I get qa photo by mms or mail, it would be great to be able to navigate to it.
Navigate to contact - Now I cant click a contact in my phone-book and navigate to him/her. That sux!
