how can i use google maps, GPS and navigation without having a internet connection?
use another navigation software (sygic mobile maps for example) which support offline maps
google only buffers partial maps, so that an internet-connection is urgent needed
YOU CAN'T USE GOOGLE MAPS OFFLINE. better get navdroyd from the market. ONLY 5 EURO AND YOU GET A WORLDWIDE OFFLINE NAVIGATION. I DOWNLOADED THE WHOLE EUROPEAN MAP AND IT'S 2 GB WITH 3D AND POI.

Is there an app that can download a predefined area and then put that data in the offline cache of google maps ( v5.0 supports offline caching)?

I run the stock rom and am happy with the apps that are available to me through slideme, Amazon etc.
One thing, how can I get Google navigation (not just maps) without access to the market?
Navigation is built into the maps app for android, but the g tablet doesn't have GPS, so the navigation wont do much good without a Bluetooth GPS receiver or a Bluetooth connection to a GPS enabled phone.
Google has put out awesome (and some not so awesome) apps to help out on your everyday life and entertainment.
How do you use these apps?
Watch a movie using Chromecast or other device?
Maps to find your way home?
Play Music to jam ?
what is the most useful app to you and how does it help or entertain you?????

I use:
Youtube every day (Most channels offerings are better than TV)
Maps (Sat-Nav occasionally)
Google Play (Obvious reasons)
Google search (^Ditto^)
Again the most useful is Youtube as it generally serves as my main news source
Google Ads (Yeah that is where my money come from)
Youtube (Obvious)
Google Search (..No comment...)
Gmail (I prefer Outlook but still use Gmail because of work)
Chromecast (Have one and it's bored)
Maps (The most accuracy map in my place)
Google Play (Unavoid-able)
Google Drive ....
Many more..
Google search on daily basis
Google drive, sheets, docs to keep sync between Android and PC, also edit sheets with both
Gmail as a primary mail address
Videos from YouTube (watching and sharing own videos privately with friends)
Maps & streetview for searching places (panoramio is also one good place when "web-travelling" )
Photo Map function in Instagram is not working in Nokia X2, is it because of the HERE Maps API is not supported? Is it possible to change it to Google Maps API?
For ROOTED phones

if u have rooted your phone then install google play store using X2 tools.
After this install GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES followed by MAP(google inc.) .
REBOOT FOR COMPLETE EFFECT AND USE.
ENJOY
HOOORRAAHHH..!!
Updated:
Installation Alone will not help.
Pls consider flashing gapps.

Steps with Instruction to set Google MAP as default system map
Can you plz provide instruction how to set Gmaps as default to handle map
Gapps work
flashed with gapps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-x2/general/gapps-cyanogenmod-10-24-3-x2-t3062798)
now its supporting photo map in insta.
check out the scrnshot.(its Nokia x2 only with tweaked looks)
YOu dont need to set gmaps as default map.
If any such thing comes up clear defaults of your here maps(ES FILE XPLORER > apps>maps(long hold)>properties>clear defaults)
Instagram Photo Map
As an Instagram Photo Map alternative, I recommend using UrbanBird. The app is available for free on the App Store.
I use in my car Blaupunkt Cape Town 945 audio/video/Navi/Bluetooth/etc system. It based on specific 4.1.1 ver of Android. It is specific because it has no Google Play Services and Play Store. So all apps can be downloaded from preinstalled Yandex Store, Amazon or ApkPure. Whats more, the unit is rooted by default.
I use Automapa as Navi program. It is very good but I have to pay annual fee for use it. So I want to switch to Navitel based on Open Source Map and it is one time cost to buy the app and have lifetime maps update.
But there is a problem with Navitel. The app is very good and cheap (the best I think for OSM maps) but when Blaupunkt goes to sleep mode (the car engine it turned off) and then I turn on car engine, Navitel rapports that "Application stopped - Wait or Close".
Automapa works properly in this case.
Is any way to workaround this problem?
I picked up a Fire 10 HD 2017 version, and followed guides here to add Google Play (and other 3 associated APK files), which works great. - I was able to installed several Google apps and other apps from the Google Play store.
However, I have hit a roadblock with YouTube TV (not regular YouTube) - Google's streaming TV service. They have a free trial if anyone wants to test this out, but I get an error screen on launch that says "We can't determine your device's location" - and I can't get it to load. All the settings for Location-Based Services are toggled on (overall and specific to the app, and all apps). I have tried with option for Google Play as a Device Administrator both checked and unchecked. Google Maps detects my location and works fine. I am not running any VPN or similar apps, so this is purely GPS based. Tried to use a fake GPS location app (and allow that in developer settings) but that didn't help.
From what I have read, others have had GPS problems - some sort of conflict between the Amazon GPS and the Google GPS expectations. Something about "AGPS" being limited in some ways on the Fire 10 HD.
Has anyone seen this issue and found a workaround or solution? Could be for a related app maybe. I was also unable to get streams to play in the Chrome browser, which would be a fine workaround, so I need something to work here. One of the main purposes of a tablet for me will be YouTube TV. Thanks - appreciate any help.
I'm having the same issue with the Hulu app and the Maps app that comes with the Fire HD 10. I installed Google Play Store and Google Maps (using the APKs like you). Google Maps didn't work at first, however after DISabling the tablet's location services and trying Google Maps again, I got a prompt for enabling current location for Google to which I clicked on yes. Now Google Maps is working!! Sadly, the generic Maps app and Hulu are still not working. Have you had any more luck?
P.S. after speaking with an Amazon tier 2 support rep, they said they are going to get in touch with a developer and get Hulu working. I'll believe it when I see it!
