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.

Great thread. Any recommendation for those in Sweden and would work well within Europe as well?

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*.

Hi,
can anyone recommend a navigation software for my german touch diamond? I experienced some problems telling the setup software to install the maps on the internal storage.
Thank you
I just installed Igo 8... works great
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=669X1ToPv1U
I have to add, that I need a map from the US east coast
Does iGO support the region?
Thank you
Garmin works pretty good.

Yes, I know there are several threads out there asking which is best, prettiest or whatever, but, I have TomTom installed on my Tilt with a flashed rom, but everything I've read says that TomTom will not be issuing US maps with version 7 and later. And then I read that Garmin XT has caused a lot of problems on phones. IGO is expensive. So, what is a Tilt owner to do?!?
I personally use Tomtom7 and iGO8 (mainly iGO8 which works awesome with TTS). You're other choices are Google Maps, Windows Live, Garmin, and a few others.

His next question I'm sure is where did you get your v7 maps, or how did you get v7 maps...
and of course, we only want to know LEGAL ways to do so.
I personally own TomTom Navigator 6, and I love it. I've got maps 6.010, so I don't think I can use them on TomTom Navigator 7. They are up-to-date enough for my driving, but I wouldn't mind the ability to update/edit maps in 7, and the ability to change the 'car' would be fun too.
I like iGO8 too.
IGO8 for me too. I used to use Tomtom all the time but their maps were not the best. IGO8 maps etc. work much better for me.
google?
Google maps?
Navizon is good. If you want vocal turn by turn directions, Nav4All is free.
The problem with IGO 8 is it's huge. The maps for Europe are 1.5gb - which is about 1gb more than I can spare

I was using iGuidance on PDA Mio DigiWalker. But version 4 doesn't work on HTC TyTN So after some tests found OnCourse (based on iGo, but have better features). Hope iGuidance newer version will be much better so I can use it again on my TyTN.
Yesterday i installed TomTom and IGO8 and they both work brill they both have there advantages but the IGO does find the GPS a lot quicker if you do a good google you can find everything you need
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I'll try the new ones, and see which one fits my needs the best.
i use tomtom navigator !
works great !

How did you get the US map? Version 7 doesn't have US maps that you can buy, unless you live OUTSIDE of the US!
I use CoPilot 7 and have found it to be very good.
Since you're in the US, Street Atlas 2009 is on the cheap side but perfectly usable.

I have used both TomTom 7 and Garmen XT in my 8925 (Tilt). My choice..... the Garmin XT.
Tom Tom was fine but the maps are out of date unless you live in Europe. The US maps are still in 2006 and TT isnt sure they will be updated given the huge hacking of their TT7 by US naughty boys....
Ill put my Xt against any TT7, and I will win. The down side to the XT is there is no qwerty keyboard lettering which drives me nutz!

Ive been running my G-XT for awhile now without any issues what so ever. Me likie my XT. I also ran the TT7 but dumped it because of the poor outdated maps.
Expensive? $00.00 for my XT.... "The truth is out there."
I currently have installed and working with US maps:
Garmin XT 2009 V5.00.20wp
TomTom 7.910 (9185)
iGO8 8.0.049545 June 30 2008
Navigon 7.31 build 137
I am a GPS junkie! I like them all for different reasons.
Navigon is the most aesthitic looking program and Reality view is awesome.
iGO8 and its true TTS is great and a very user controlable interface.
Tom Tom is a great all around application and works well.
Garmin XT has a nice UI, easy to use and the ability to load smaller map files rather thatn the entire US.
Hopes this helps. You should find something you like. If you need anything let me know via PM or IM if you see me. Kevin

Two words: Bit Torrent. No, I won't tell you the search terms, or where to search. (I won't put it on my 4shared either).
I like Garmin Mobile XT. So far its better...........
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.

sygic mobile maps for android it works better than every on g1! i tested them all

But about market enabler...
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=android+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
For those interested this should be avaliable in the UK "by the middle of next month"
Not sure if I'm convinced by the online nature of it, when I most need sat nav I'm often somewhere remote or abroad, still the winmo version was good
If the abroad you're planning to visit is in North America, stay far away from a Navigon product. They pulled their stand-alone units from the market here because their routing algorithms were complete ****. They have pretty maps and work well over the pond, but do not trust them to get you anywhere but lost in the States.
Just google navigon+routing+problems and you'll get the idea.
So i hear Navigon for Android is finally out. Unfortunately i don't have paid apps market here. There should be 30-day trial for that.
Navigon is way the best nav app in europe as far as i know. At least it is that way on iPhone. And i have seen them a lot.
I also have a question. How could i obtain it, if i don't have access to market.
I use Sygic Mobile Maps 9 ... Great app love this navigation.
now testing Sygic Mobile Maps 10 on the Android 2.1 roms... because version 9 is unstable and freeze under Android 2.1

Where did you get that from? Sygic appear not to have released it yet, at least not on their website
* Mod EDIT *
Removed instructions on how to obtain warez.
SORRY... forgot... Will never do it again...
@all:
Posting warez or how to obtain them is not permitted on the forum. Doing so may get you and XDA into trouble.
Regards,
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!
