I don't know why I can't use those offline map softwares. For Mapdroyd, everything I can see when starting up the application was a blue background and nothing more, except the scale ruler on top, and it seems that I can "zoom" to that blue background, cuz I can see some changes in the scale displayed. I tried to download some more maps from the networks, but it's useless either. I want to contact the software's website, but it's in German, no way
For Bigplanet I can see the underlying grid, but not the map. Yeah, that's all I can see. I have change to network use, but it doesn't display anything too.
Could somebody tell me how to fix those problems? Any suggestions for other offline map softwares? Thanks so much.
I have the same problem with mapdroyd in my htc magic with hero rom. Any help???
FIXED: I just tapped My Location and when I saw a cross from the GPS, I zoomed in enough and I saw the map I downloaded.
Hello everybody,
lately I've been seeing a lot of stuf on navigation.
I've been using Mobile Map 9 for quite some time now. GPS signal is extremelly fast and so far it's clear nice looking (better then even TOMTOM).
Mod Edit :
Warez and XDA Dont get along well, so beware!
I have to say iv been using this aswell and the maps are great. Rerouting is very quick and all round nice experience.
I have notice though the interface seems to be a direct port from their java version. But i did speak to them this week and they told me they are working on a new interface for it at the moment. so it will be even better
Sygic Mobile Maps 9 is very nice, and my GPS of choice.
Is it in English?
@kizer it has a lot languages
the only thing i miss is to leave out streets of choice! thats what i love in tomtom
and i miss a no highway option that just pops up before i calculate and can be chosen at driving
don´t hurt me for my english i´m german
How does this compare to CoPilot Live 8?
does this save maps to the sd? what other features does it have
against copilot its much faster and i can hear musicstreams over 3g (via TuneWiki) while i´m navigating without any lag of a program and i can hear the voice verry clear even when i´m hearing music the same time
yes it saves the maps on your sd...
it does so much please watch out here

I would like to get this and try it out, I installed copilot, holy crap it's slow.
Hmmm, the purchase page says select region. North, Central, and South America. Funny thing is there is not one Central American country listed.
FAIL
Uploading.....
I'm uploading Mobile Maps 9 to 4Shared.
It contained the Program and the benelux MAPS.
Tonight I'll upload the keygen for Map Activation.

The MAPS are on the SD card. The App reads it from there.

Hate to break it to you, but this has *NOTHING* to do with the program you are running. *ALL* programs will take the same time to lock on to the GPS signal since the program itself has NOTHING to do with it. They call on OS functions to get GPS data.
If it appeared to take less time to lock on the GPS signal, then it is because the conditions just happened to be good for it.
I.e., clear sky, low/no foliage, possibly the GPS was already "warm", etc.
Hi all,
I have flashed some of the ROM's provided here and am seeing an issue which might not disturb many, but disturbs me.
I am a Dutch guy living in Russia, but not willing to accept either Russian or Dutch as a normal language. For me English is the only acceptable language for a ROM. On the other hand, numbers, currency, date and time are favourite to be "Dutch" again.
If I download a WWE or ENglish ROM (as I downloaded an Energy ROM now) I get the English language, so far so good.
But when I try to install the following format for numbers 1.000.000,00 (same for currency) I am told that the character to divide between full numbers or parts cannot be changed to "," or worse between each three digits I cannot place a ".".
Is there a way to change this in registry, so I can change this anyway, even if the regional setting does not allow this ?
Just to make sure You understand me, if I choose for Dutch regional settings, all looks fine, but Calendar or some programs are immediately "talking" Dutch to me, something I dislike again. Sunday should always be Sunday on computers (even if I do understand Zondag)
Any help would be appreciated.
Ruud
When you change to a non-English regional setting, like Dutch, it automatically changes the names of the months and days (and a few other related things) into the language for that region. That's what you're seeing. You can still keep those in English and get the other settings you want, but the settings have to be entered in manually.
To do this, start with one of the English regions that's closest to what you want. Then, you can change all of the other settings to what you expect. For the command/period problem with long numbers, you have to type in the command and period. They will not be in the drop down. Also, you'll need to adjust the order of month/day/year, etc. to what you expect it to be.
I just tried it on my phone to be sure it would work. For your reference, it should be exactly the same process to do it on your computer running Windows.
Also...
I don't know about anyone else, but I thought it was an interesting question. But that's probably just because I have to deal with localization and internationalization in my regular work.
Hello fenux,
thanks that my boring issue is interesting for somebody
But , this does not seem to solve the issue for me.
I have the Energy Rom at the moment I have chosen the Dutch regional settings, as they are what I need for numbers or at least I can change it to what I need.
As for testing your proposal I change the regional settings to English (United Kingdom) so I would get the Englisch language. I go to "numbers" and try to change the "," to a "." not by using the dropdown menu, but by using the keyboard instead. New character is not accepted. Tried to do the same through the software keyboard, same result.
Actually that was why I asked if I can change such in the registry somewhere.
Any more ideas maybe ?
Regards,
Ruud
I'm not sure why it's not letting you change them. I did find this page (http://www.pcoperative.com/ppc/registry_tweaks.htm#Override Date & Time Format) which includes some of the information on where the override information is stored. But it doesn't include changing the decimal and thousands separator.
Here are the settings for those, taken from my registry after I overrode them:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides]
; Decimal for normal numbers
"SDeci":","
; Digit grouping (thousands) for normal numbers
"SThsn":"."
; And for currency
"SMDcS":","
"SMThS":"."
Hi fenux,
interesting information, I will play around with those. It is visible that some of those strings are not available after chosing a certian regional setting, but I can add them. I will see if I can get to solve my issue with this.
Yes, this looks perfect on first try, thank You VERY much.
regards,
Ruud
Now if You can answer me another question: what is the most stable and fastest ROM around here, I really need it.
I've had good luck with the 21885/Sense 2.1 version of EnergyROM (not as many extras as the other versions, but it's stable and fast). I'm working on my own that fits my needs a little better, but it's nowhere near ready for public use.
Hi fenux,
I am sorry if unclear, but that last sentence was supposed to be more of a joke.
But of course thanks for the answer anyway.
When I downloaded the Energy I made some mistake and took the 28011 instead. When I tried to download the other I was made to understand that there is a time limit, so I did not bother anymore. I like the ROM itself, very nice, but am actually downloading the 21885 at the moment. Reason is that my AlarmMaster 2.0 does not work anymore, as soon as an alarm is supposed to ring, the display is being switched on and the program hangs. The program is too important to me, so I have to change here.
This was my line before editing : I very much like the Action and OK button on the lower part of the screen, so I use the Sense 2,5 version.
But : after a succesfull flash I noticed that actually that ROM does not include the Action and OK buttons below. It also does not have any issue with the regional settings at all. I will continue to install all programs (as I lack time for playing) and hope / presume this ROM to be stable.
Thanks again.
Name: JustAnotherMaps
It`s Just Another Maps based on OpenStreetMaps maps data. It does not use Bing maps. This app supports these features:
• Zooming
• Routing
• Searching
• GPS/Cellular/Wi-Fi location.
The main benefit is that OpenStreetMaps have a better map precision and geographical coverage especially in Western Europe, Asia and etc. The trial mode has all features except routing.
This app is built on these projects: OpenStreetMaps, CloudMade, DeepEarth, Nominatim.
Updates:
Version 1.5: Speed up the map downloading process
Version 1.4: Improved multi-touch behavior, added “follow me”, added "route here from my current position", fixed some minor bugs.
Version 1.3: Added a locate me feature and fixed non-US locale issue
Version 1.2: Added a "Locate me" feature.
Version 1.1: Added a "run under lock screen".
Download Link: http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=099fddd0-5404-e011-9264-00237de2db9e
Hi tested the test version. Please some things:
Wishes:
- Add a button for center the map to your current position (like in bing maps)
- Add to the test version a way to test the routing (maybe limited to 10 km radius)
- Add a list for "Favourite Places" and a "Home Place" (needed for fast routing)
- Maybe you can get more input here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android
Corrections:
- If i search for the city "bingen" i get "Ooops something is going wrong. Please restart the application"
- Multiple finger zooming is a little bit slow (hangs)
- Scroll left right with fingers is also little bit slow (compared to ta maps / bing maps)
Conclusion:
Nice work. If i can test routing and it works well i will definetly buy it.
I would love to see your app getting in the future more to a nice little openstreetmap navigation app.
Hi,
thanks for this info its really great that you find a time to add some words on it.
"Locate me" feature will be added in next version right now Im testing it. I will look at scrolling and multitouching zooming.
Is this error message appear everytime you try to search something or only on word "bingen"? On my phone everything is okey with that query as I understand its a city in Germany=)
yes. its only with the word "bingen" and yes ... all the time dont know whats up there!
No problem with "bingen" on my end (paid app).

Hi all,
I`ve got a user that have a potential error on samsung Omnia with routing. If somebody try to use this application on omnia please replay the feedback here. It would super usefull for me because I dont have such device on hands and cannot test it.
Thanks in advance,
Victor
Hi. I bought your app and will now test routing here in germany a bit.
What really would be a benefit for routing is:
- Map targeting to position your currently driving - walking like a compass.
- To add start position by searching the start (e.g. streetname) or "current position" and also to add end position by searching.
- Could you add something like "current speed" at top right corner?
Thanks for the "locate me" ... it works, but best to add a button or?
Btw. I'am a c# developer for 8 years now. Maybe i can help?
Sounds Good! Probably a silly question but If I am in usa, does the tool load the maps automatically? If I travel to south AMerica or Europe is it the same? Do we store the maps in the main memory or should we use data roaming? Thanks and happy new year
I'm wondering when google and ms stop there noncense and bring out google maps.
tested today routing with my car. really: it makes no sense having routing enabled and not moving the map with current location in centered mode. you do not really want the car driver to push every 10 seconds the "locate me" button, or?
another thing is to fade out the from/to location box on top if you start "routing" ...
Looking forward to hear anything new from your side for further updates.
Just bought your app because it looked promising - especially the routing.
Tested three smaller cities in Germany... each time the app crashes.
- Nordstemmen
- Wankheim
- Langenfeld
Maybe OpenStreetMap does not recognize the cities, i don't know.
But why does the app crashes because of that?
Routing:
Would love to have direct input of start and end.
Right now you can search a position, then point at it on the map and hope, it's correct.
Would also be nice if the map turns in the direction of driving (if this is possible)
Can the app run in the foreground all the time?
Rest is mentioned before.
At the monent the app is unuseable for routing.
I can imagine the hard work you had so far.
I hope you can fix the problems and make your app becomming a cool one.
Sorry for my bumpy english...
Nice job, looks promising. The routing feature is a good think that was missing ! But it needs some improvements. The most important to begin :
- realtime navigation : a step by step navigation, or at least (to begin) a realtime update of the position (like said oOp)...
- distance and time estimation when making a route, with options to choose shorter or faster path.
At the same moment it is on the same level as Bing maps:
1. Can locate me but does not want to use GPS
2. When routed and located does not update to nw position when one is moving
Those two things need to come in ASAP, a indicator when it s using GPS and when GSM location would help for now so I could see if GPS sucks or it does not use it. Second point needs attntion ASAP to make it usable. There was no Bing maps update mentioned for january so you are our last hope.

In this version the application does not store data on the phone between launching its a limitation of WP7 SDK.

You are talking about step by step navigation or only about feature that will rotate map to your driving direction?

Hi. Nice work, it really shows some POIs in Costa Rica, my country, not like Bing, it doesn't show a thing!
My big problem is that I can only download free apps from the marketplace or the trial versions. I REALLY, REALLY want to buy your app, also my girlfriend and 2 more friends that have WP7.
Please tell me if there is a way that I can pay you through Paypal and you give me some kind of workaround to install the full version. Please! I can't pay because my Credit Card needs to be from the USA, and it is from Costa Rica. Please help me, I am willing to pay twice of tha app's value.
Regards and please reply ASAP, I really need your app!

Hi,
As I understand you can use your card even it was issued outside of USA. You need to change settings on your computer: Locale, Location, In browser. And you need change it on these sites too: account.live.com, profile.live.com.

Hi Victor, thanks for the answer. I know you can use credit cards outside the US, but that is if you are in a country like UK where Marketplace is supported. In my country it is not supported (Costa Rica, Central America).
I have tried all the things you said but no luck. The only thing that works for me is setting everything to the US so at least I can download free apps.

(application is available in english and italian, video was made using italian locale)
Hi, I got some feedback about colours legibility, so I've added a poll about it.
My idea was to colour code data, in order to avoid repeating labels.
Even if you don't want to install it, I would be grateful if browsing the video you could leave a feedback here. Thanks
Hi again,
we are in the process of adding more locations worldwide. We would like to get (if possible) feedback if you are finding your particular location or at least a close one. Next update will geolocate you and find close locations.
Live Tiles
Hi again. I get quite a bit of feedback, both in comments and via email, about the absolute _imperial_ need of a live tile, without which no application should be published !
Just to make things clear: the live tile is coming, but there are a few more important sections and improvements that should be taken care of. Moreover, there is a good reason why it takes a bit to implement and why people are reticent to do so: it just doesn't work reliably yet. It has been clear now for some months, that push notifications in the current form have met the obstacle of carriers network management and while the issue is being worked on and improved, they're still not very reliable. Basically the network operator doesn't want to keep the connection open for push notifications too much and on the other side the ms protocol is failing to 'force' the network to comply.
Some more informations here: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2011/02/17/push-notification-status.aspx
Again, the live tile is coming, it has been working almost ok for a month on my test unit. But really, while impressive and cool, there are more useful updates to provide first.
Hi, this application is quite complete regarding forecasts. Are you planning to include webcams at some point ?
Yep, webcams are planned for the future updates, not in the upcoming one, though, maybe the one afterwards
The problem in implementing them is that you can't just link random webcams on the web, you have to get a list with permissions given from the owners
Updated today with GPS location, autorefresh, news feeds and some other stuff.
Coming up: webcams
Nice look. Needs °F option, zoom for maps, scalable text. Would consider buying no-ad version.

Thanks a ton. You're right about farenheit degrees, considering I've already implemented english language.
Zoom for maps was implemented at the start, then the fact that it wouldn't work very well with the swipe gesture and the relatively readability of the maps made me remove it. Do you think they need zooming because you can't read them well enough ?
Scalable text in which section ?
No-ad was an idea from the start, however we're considering releasing every future feature (live tile, etc) for free anyway.
Thanks for the feedback
I HTC HD2 (with WM 6.5) and although I have a couple of meteo apps.installed
I would like to try yours, which indeed seems very atractive.
Any chance and, if yes, how to do it ??
I installed it today... very nice graphs! the only thing I still need to do is to see if the forecast is indeed right... if it is, and when the live tile comes on, I may even cancel my daily e-mail forecast from my preferred forecaster

hehe thanks good to know. I'm obviously very unrelated to those that provide the forecast itself, but in the weeks I've tried it, it seems to me it works even better than the other more famous italian provider (more famous for consumer-level, actually this is a lot more business-level).
Try to avoid updating the forecast for 24/48 hours and see if the 'now' detail is correct !

Ok, looking for translators for french and spanish. I can read both but I'm not sure about syntax in writing.

Hi again,
I'm striving to pass the next update through certification, however it seems (as reported by some) that certification parameters have become more tight recently and they won't let you pass the small things as before.
This is maybe good, but that also means that it might take a while to 'fix' the application, especially in the most complex parts, i.e. it's not that the updates aren't coming, it's just that it needs some polishing.
As mentioned, next update includes webcams, the one after that 'could' include live-tiles, if there isn't any other important weather data to include in the application.
Victory ! Certification passed in record time this once !
That's weird, it took only one day...
First post updated as soon as I'm home
Really nice app. Are you going to release also a paid version ad free?
