Yes but what I need is a replacement of internal gps for satnav software, just like symbian garmin mxt which can support internal or external gps

No there isn't. Those programs which you talk about, and I think of which Bluetooth GPS is one such program, is merely Bluetooth GPS capable. In can talk to a Bluetooth GPS and display that information in that application only
There may even be tracking programs which can use Bluetooth. But there is no way, at the moment, to tell Android to ignore the inbuilt GPS and use an external Bluetooth GPS for the Location Manager service.
In other words, MyTracks, CardioTrainer, Sports Tracker, Google Maps etc, they can't be made to listen to a Bluetooth GPS.
Well, unless someone wants to rewrite libgps.so using Bluetooth GPS as inspiration.
If you wanted to go one further and decompile the current libgps.so so you could have the choice between inbuilt GPS and Bluetooth GPS, be my guest.

[Q] Needed GPS APP for Android

Hi Guys,
I have Android 2.2 Nand with cotulua installed on my HD2, working perfectly,
never the less I am looking for a GPS app like Garmin (which I beleive is not yet available for Android, please correct me if I am wrong), I installed Aura Sygic as I somewhere read that it was free... although when starting the app the Aura downloader requested me to choose a map to download, as I am located in Colombia, there are no maps available for download there. so I searched for a sygic map for colombia and downloaded a zip folder, which I decompressed and tried to install the map with no success...
Can someone please recomend a Garmin like GPS app (if not garmin) that works on Android?
thanx in advance for your time
best

Try iGO My Way

Try Waze.
Its free on the market.
For me its working great.

navetel ++++

Do any of these require a data connection or can they be used 'offline'.

Copilot Works fine. Can be use without data connexion

iGO also doesn't need internet connection and works perfectly on HD2 Just need to download maps one time for the region you want to use

In both system all you need to do is
1.Download app, instal on your android - make sure you have allow other sources ticked in settings
2. Switch on WIFi and open up AUra downloader to download rest of files and required maps
3. Run it and enjoy

Even if you could post links doing so to Warez sites is completely against XDA rules and the quickest way to get yourself revoked.

Thanks Dunc I did't know that - very usefull advice for future. I wouldn't post links to warez sites anyway but to normal file hosting servers such megaupload , rapidshare etc.I just said that there are links on these kind of sites to cracked apps
BTW: Just instaled Aura GPS on my HD2 running AND 2.2.1 Ultimate Droid
It is as smoth as Tom tom ! Much recomended to all people that are looking for great GPS for android !

Im now using copilot and its very good actually having come from tomtom its easy to use.

I can recommend Navigon Select 3.5.4 for Android.

Try AURA.

Maverick is pretty good, could be a bit more feature-rich, and more detailed maps, but not bad overall. Definitely worth trying.

Is this the Navigon that some ROMS can't handle for example the Gingerbread ROMS because of a broken .so file?
Thanks

Igo 8 for me definately, also quite a few skins for it too.

I use iGO and Navigon, it works great

[Q] no blue arrowhead of google map

After locating myself on google map, there is no blue arrowhead representing my location. Only a blue dot appears. With other programs, I ve found that the compass of my device is working properly.
P.S: I am using 2.3.4 and Google map is the latest version
Any opinions about what happens?

Yea u r right but when u move the arrow will appear.... i faced it too when i was driving my car....

did u have the same problem before? compass used to appear immediately even i was standing still. it would be very troublesome now.(i have not yet tried whether the arrow will really appear again!)

No i dint had that prob before... i feel its bcz of new update of map maybe....
Sent from my LG-P970 using Tapatalk

I'm having the same issue, since i installed Google Maps 6 or something. In other programs compass works fine. In Google Maps v. 5.2 or something compass also works fine.
P.S. Now on 20n with Google Maps 6.3 - and still no luck with that.
Of course arrow appears when you move with GPS fixed to the satellites. It just draws vector from your previous location to current location. Compass is another thing - it shows your heading immediately, without GPS fix and even when you stand still.

i am so frustrated now....
anyone know how to report this problem to Google map? i ve done so on feedback on android market and google map forum. but seems, they dont care
besides, no one else has come across this problem? it seems no others have talked about this in the internet

I had same problem with google maps v6. So I downgrade the app to v5.12.0 and the blue arrow is back
Sent from my LG-P970 using Tapatalk

Also, as a workaround, installing google maps [brut] 4.6 worked for me (as I was unable to remove/downgrade stock maps from unrooted phone)

Same bug with V20E Vietnam (tested google map v6 and 6.5 stock and 6.5 ownhere)
I think kernel stock LG bug !!!!
Someone test with rom CM7....it can working???

navigation not working

hello guys my google navigation isn't working its waiting for location all the day
why??

Already tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494862

i have no root

Try "gps test" from google play. Go outdoor start gps, turn off internet access, start the app and wait until 30 min, if the can’t get satellites and fix them after 30 you have a hardware problem. In other case all is OK

Notice that sygic works normally

Search for another version of Gmaps in google, an instalable .apk

Also google maps gets my location perfectly but only navigation

Navigation is a part of Maps!

So how to download it??
**I had old lg one also wasn't work but the message is different "Not enabled in your country"

Just search in google for "Google Maps 6.3.0 Apk", or "Google Maps v5.12.0" or what you want.

http://www.apktops.com/google-maps-6-3-0-worldwide-navigation-activated.html
I found this but Application not installed I don't have root
What is the solution??

Normaly there is no need to be root, it's signed. Have you try to install it?
I have a Optimus black, an no problem with maps and navigator. I have the actual Map 6.7.0. The only issue, is that the compass don't work in maps. The compass works in 5.x versions.
Just try you can't destroy nothing.
Regards.

I tried
it told me app not installed
May it cuz my location??

Try this: http://www.mediafire.com/?ah6v4zd4gtdo542
This works 100% in my rooted.

My phone not rooted

How I have said, this in normaly no matter. If this doesn't work it's a matter.

I will try to use navigation now

only google nav has problems here
hi there,
Do you recognize this?
Google Navigation constantly looses its gps fix, almost at every turn.
Other navigation software like NavFree has no problem at all.
It is almost as if Google Navigation resets the GPS sensor when it is too slow to keep up (not driving too fast though).
Any ideas?

why do you want so badly google maps??? if sygic works for you its a very good navigation program. also google maps need gprs connection to work charging you instead of sygic that it's maps are on the phone.

[Q] Getting MapmyIndia to work with google Navigation

The default navigation application from google is not working. Is there any way to sync mapmyindia offline maps with google navigation or any other navigation software.?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429126&highlight=google+maps
why waste money on map my India when you can use google navigation for free.. its not officially out try but the modded version from the above link will work fine, I am yet to find any bugs.
I use this often when I go to India. the map's got way more details than mmi .

I find the online maps a lot delaying . If only we could synchronize offline maps it would be much better. Any help regarding this ?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Well if you go to google maps settings, in the labs there is an option called precache map. So if you cache your route via wifi before your journey the maps will load fast and you won't lose precious mobile data.
So what do you say ?
google navigation is fantastic the rerouting feature works like a charm
And outside the cities mapmyindia hardly has any coverage
Pls give it a try and I am sure you won't go back to mapmyindia.
(unless of course you are an undercover map my India employee here for info )

If you want offline navigation
Sygic is working fine. on both gingerbread and ICS.
Navigon, Ndrive and Map my india also working fine on Gingerbread, but didn,t tried on ICS. (I always prefer google and sometime Sygic)

Im going off on a long toad trip tomorrow. Will check and post back comments. Thanks again for help.
Note : was using sygic for bada and hence was asking bout it. ;-);-)
