Okay so if you go to the Telenav OTA site at ota.telenav.com/tn and click T-Mobile as your carrier, then click the Vibrant 4G, it is completely compatible with the Captivate. Basic navigation is now free (including voice navigation, automatic re-routing, etc) and the full premium navigation (which includes SPEED TRAPS among traffic and all sorts of other things) is only $2.99 a month - MUCH better than paying at&t $9.99 a month and this app is much better than the stock at&t Navigator app and worlds better than Google Navigation, which quite often thinks you aren't on the right road when you're dealing with a highly populated area with lots of roads.
Also, unlike Google Nav, TeleNav will continue to work without a tower signal, it will just tell you to turn without the street name. I know this from experience when I drove from Colorado to Arizona and was driving through Hatch, NM and had no signal from Sprint or any roaming partner and still got navigation directions.
Just thought I'd post this up here. I decided to check out the OTA site and see what's up.
Also, if you download it directly from the device, it will tell you it can't recognize your device and you just hit Samsung, then Vibrant 4G.
I do not know if this works on non T-Mobile ROMs but I don't see why it wouldn't. Let me know what you guys think.
Nice find. Thank you.
Awesome find. Thank you for sharing. Will log in tomorrow from pc to vote this up and a thank you.

So far, looks great on my Cog 4 loaded Cap. (My GPS sees to work oretty well, but I have not tested it that much.)
It crashed (the entire phone) on the initial run, but I have not had problems since then.
Thanks!
Thanks for the tip. Loaded as you recommended. Curious why not identify as att?
Just checked tele nav's maps almost instant lock pinpoint on house went into google maps no lock after 30 seconds. In the nav mode also almost instant lock and immediate directions.... Will check in morning see how tracking works. Can only hope. If it works as well as the locks will have a usable gps finally.

Glad everyone is loving it! It appears that this version is ONLY for the Vibrant 4G so its kick ass that it works on our phones. I used it for navigation today because I got so pissed with Google Navigation always thinking I'm on a street that I'm not and it was FLAWLESS the entire route.
I may very well may the 2.99 a month - sure beats 9.99 a month and the lane assistance is helpful when you're traveling somewhere you haven't been before. Nothing worse than being in the wrong exit lane and ending up either almost getting in an accident changing lanes at the last minute or ending up going the wrong way and finding 5 street lights with no U-turns and ending up 15 minutes out of your way before you can turn around.
By the way, I'm running this on Firefly, which already has amazing GPS, and Google Navigation still can't track me anywhere near as well as TeleNav. On top of that, the screen can be set to be off unless you're at a turn - massive battery saver over Google Nav.
Hooray for a GPS program that works...stupid google maps...
Yeah I was trying to remember the OTA address for TN and when I was typing it in the browser, Google auto-filled the /tn for me and I figured the Vibrant 4G is pretty much a Galaxy S with HSPA+ 21Mbps, tried it, and it works fantastic.
Hehe us Captivate users should pressure the company to releasing one for the Captivate. Then again big brother AT&T might not allow them.
-Edit, tried to poke around the choices on the captivate and one link took me to the Market. Drum Roll, and displayed ATT Navigator.
Yeah, at&t navigator sucks ass compared to this version. Plus its a 6 dollar a month difference in cost or you can use it for free...
PERFECT! Also running on Firefly, locks in seconds!! Great find

Wow finally got a nav system that actually knows where i am. while all the gps fixes out there helped alot it actually seems to be a issue with google maps/nav. only thing i liked about google maps was the ability to have the map in the direction i was going . Methinks that a working nav/maps is better
once again Thanks for the info
Wow this is actually amazing!
I always wondered if google maps had issues with our phone... Maybe it actually does?

I just replaced the Tilt 2 with an Aria. So far I love it. Its WAY smoother and more stable then the windows mobile platforms ive been using for years now.
Ive been looking around and ive found everything I need (took me forever to figure out the linked contacts thing) except for a decent geocaching app. The tilt had GcZII by Nicque whic was fantastic. Anyone have any recommendations?
maverick pro seems like it's going to suit your needs very well. I've played around with it and it has a lot of features. I personally have never geocached yet so I can't be 100% certain, but I would have to say, that's what this program is more than likely made for. Oh and it worked awesome on the aria!

Did you happen to notice if it integrates with geocaching.com? Ill check it later on, just wondering.
It appears to have a lot to do with whether or not you are subscribed to geocaching premium. I'd love to see a breakdown of existing free and paid geocaching apps, but i don't have time to test them all myself. let me know if you find a good one.
Well, Ive been thinking of becoming a premium member. But GcZii worked SO well for free. I guess Ill just keep looking. Got swype working today, man does it make typing VASTLY easier.
I setup Geohunter last night. It's free. It integrates with Bcaching, which in turn integrates with geocaching.com. you can set up auto queries on geocaching.com which get sent to Bcaching. the app then syncs with Bcaching. it has a google maps view for seeign all in your area, details on specific cahces, and a compas screen to guide you. GeoBeagle is amost identicle, but i think made by the people from Bcaching.

Hey I just wanted to let you know that I've been using a geocaching app called "c:geo" This app is frequently being updated and I have tried many many apps and found this one to be the best. You never have to leave the app, it is all self contained. Hope it helps!
Thanks for the c:geo tip. I already like it way better than the previous tip.
Looked at cgeo, not overly impressed. It requires you to jump between programs. the direct integration with geocaching.com is nice, but it's clunky to get to navigation. Geohunter lets you jump from list to map to compass to cache details all within the program. The linking process with the website is a little convoluted, but works well when set up. Just my opinion.
Played around with c:geo today. Lots of crashes from the live map. But altogether usable. I would give it 3 out of 5 for being free.

I've tried a bunch.. Geohunter, Geobeagle, c:geo, Cachemate, and the winner is GeOrg.
It has a bcaching connector or can parse GPX files insanely fast.. And if you have the SDK up, you can even compile his unofficial geocaching connector, but it's not quite kosher so he doesn't provide it in binary form.
It's an awesome program, has a lot of function and works great. He's real responsible to feedback, even working on adding the ability to use a Bluetooth GPS to it.
c:geo is okay, but it's very slow to load up "nearby" caches, takes forever to save those caches, has no facility to return to the last list of caches (!?!), and turns up the brightness to 100% with black-on-white screen for the compass, which is impossible to use at night. Otherwise, I keep it around in case I'm "off the grid" and don't have PQ's for where I am.
I use a combination of GeOrg (preferred) and the "official" geocaching app from groundspeak. Both are paid apps.
Of the two, GeOrg is my favourite if I'm within the areas that my pocket queries cover. The native geocaching app makes it easier to just search and go if I'm outside of those areas, plus lets me log directly on the site instead of via field notes.
The free ones had various issues and quirks that I didn't care to learn how to work around.
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 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.

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

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.

Hi everyone,
I want to give out an alert to whomever thinks of buying subscriptions out of the upgrade section of the HTC Locations app.
The subscription "Traffic information" is NOT working. At least you expect traffic information to light up on the map, like Google Navigation does. But it doesn't the only thing that mentions something about traffic is the "Car Panel" settings. But thats only about when it should update the traffic info. Thus making traffic information totally useless.
Yet another expectation is that it should reroute your route to avoid traffic jams with this. It fails to do this either.
So my conclusion is you're buying vaporware here.
Support on this product is unbelievably bad. There is NO manual in the HTC Desire HD, Nor does Route 66 deliver instructions on how to use this crap piece of software that they call premium navigation.
HTC Support POV:
"Sorry, the locations app is build by a third party than HTC, namely Route 66. Please contact them for support on this.".
I can confirm this because whatever you buy from the locations app is processed and credited from Route 66.
So I went and call Route 66:
"Sorry, but the application is provided by HTC on your phone. We have nothing to do with this. The order you say is processed by us isn't ours. Please contact HTC for support on your purchase. *Hangs up phone*"
So Route 66 doesn't want to refund my purchase, in which they obviously got paid by me.
So my advice:
Don't buy anything from this scam!
Good to know... but isn't there some kind of trial option?
Nope, there isn't anything.

I believe that there is a trial-period of 30 days.
Which country are you from, maybe they just don't have traffic coverage in your country? Haven't checked if it states for which countries it should work.
The trial only is for the navigation itself, but not for the extra services like traffic info and speed cameras.
Any of you tested that?

You don't want to get punished when you are in a traffic jam and are driving too slow. So when there's a speed cam, you take the emergency lane and pass the trafic jam with full speed.
Just a different interpretation of rules

When the month worldwide trial period is over, the only thing that changes is that you don't have spoken directions anymore. The maps and soundless navigation stays free.
OK confusing situation here...
I got my first DHD on the 18th October and activated the trial for navigation on that day.
I returned that phone to the store 1 week later (25th Oct) and had it replaced with a new handset.
Last Wednesday (10th Nov) I actually needed to use the premium navigation, so assuming I was still in my 30 days trial (which I was) I went to use it. It had to search for my license and it took a few seconds, but it activated fine.
I decided that I'd try out the speed cameras and traffic to see if it was any good. I couldn't buy the traffic as I just got a blank page, but I went and bought 30 days of speed cameras. However, nothing appeared to download to the phone. I carried on anyway.
However, the cameras were not displayed. When I went through some average speed areas, it would bring up a red bar indicating I was in a speed controlled area, but it gave no indication to speed, distance, or anything!
I figured it had just not downloaded it, but when I went to check, it said my licence for both the Navigation and Cameras was due to expire on October 12th (before I even got my first handset!)
The Navigation was still working, but I didn't think the cameras were.
It's totally bizarre.
Indeed today, if I look at the "Upgrade" menu in the Locations app, at the very top it says:
Navigation
Worldwide
Expires 12/10/2010
Safety Cameras
United Kingdom and Ireland
Expires 12/10/2010
What's going on?!
Are you sure it's not US dates, they put the month before the day, so that date would be December 12th.

Just checked mine, it says 12/9, so I'm sure it's month then day

Ok that might make some kind of sense, and would seem to suggest that the 30 day trial is linked to IMEI rather than a particular account.
Can anyone confirm how safety cameras are working for them? Can you see them on the map? Do you get alerted before going through them?

But when returning to navigation software gives a menu where are options to Buy, use a coupon or syncing licence.
Ive tried many times to sync the licence but there is no change to the navigation and it asks to buy etc. all the time.

I am heading on a trip across country and rather then rent a GPS from the car rental company I figured I would use my Xoom for the Navigation. Has anyone used any of the offline GPS software on their xoom?
I thought about using Google maps but I can only figure out how to download 10 miles of map for offline.
I tried Motonav (I extracted the APK from my cel) and Sygic, both worked fine. But I do not know where are you from so you might not have maps with this apps. Sygic is full screen app and motonav is not full screen, it is almost 60% of the xoom screen.

well depending on exactly how you are going to use it. if its a point A to point B type of trip that is within the same day(unless you leave the xoom on and the nav app open the whole time) then using the nav app that comes already installed will work fine. as long as you have an intrernet connection at the start to set down the points youre fine. it already automatically downloads the whole route and map and lets say you take a detour, the nav will reroute without any need of internet. but once you reach your destination, youll need an internet connection to set down a new destination. and if you set down the layers at the begining so it tells you where all the gas stations are and all that, there is no real reason to go and buy a new nav app.
i use the stock maps and nav apps that come with it all the time and my xoom is a wifi only and i take it on loooong trips and ive never gotten lost, even when ive taken huge detours off the intended path. so i recomend you use the stock nav app since it already has offline nav built into it.

I'm trying to decide which one to spend my money on only ONCE. I know google maps has offline cache, but there's still no searching for POI and naviagation.

I use Sygic myself! I love it! It's great because when you purchase a map pack like North America for example you can download by state so you can save space and download only the places you need! Plus you can import POIs from various websites which is nice! Also the voice nav doesn't sound robotic, I have mine set to British English and it sounds like a real person!

If you have loaded a map for navigation it works fine unless you want to go a different direction than what is programmed in nav. It doesn't reroute until you have a data connection with your phone or mifi or something.

I'm trying to decide which one to spend my money on only ONCE. I know google maps has offline cache, but there's still no searching for POI and naviagation.

Waiting for NavNgo Primo to became available for Android (they have a version for IPhone). On PNDs (Win CE) is the BEST navigation sofware, periodTheir current version called "Primo" sold only to OEMs to be installed on PNDs is years ahead of Google Navigation.In fact Google should be smart and buy them and replace their navigation software with that one.They will save years of development on their own navigation software and will transform Android over night into the best automotive OS. Most PNDs exept the big brands as TomTom and Garmin is using this software. Hopefully it's going to be an Android version soon.The software is great but it require a customized UI for every resolution (maps are self adjusting, but the rest of UI uses bitmaps). But the software is modable, so it might not be a problem.Next in line I would try Navigon (now Garmin). Not sure how is the Android software did not play with it, their PNDs hovever were not bad, but still less fluid that IGo.I also read that some Android nav software is not on par with the older WinCE versions buy any reason, even the paid versions.

I ran it on my original Galaxy S, I have it on my Galaxy S3, and on the Nexus 7. I think as long as all are using the same google account you should be good to go.

I side loaded it. Downloaded several state maps, but it still doesn't work right. It seems to be locking up (I get a black screen once I get a map open).
Edit: It seems to be working now. More testing to come.

I can't get 4.13 to start right. 4.11 did the same thing. black screen first couple of times then it was fine.
Might load 4.11 back for now until they update
I have CoPilot Live for North America and its great on the Nexus. Fast satellite link, lots of POIs, works great for car GPS alternative and local travel on foot or as a passenger. I've moved it from device to device and with frequent map updates, it's a keeper. On the down side, full NA maps = 1.2 G, so glad I have a 16G unit.
Do any of these options include free turn-by-turn voice navigation?
