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.

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

can anyone else confirm this? i am on Android Revolution HD 1.9.2
it works on modaco custom
Works here, you have to use zoom in a lot in supported cities and you'll see buildings popping out. You can alo tilt the map to have a better view. I still can't believe they have 3D buildings in Melbourne and Tasmania, but not Sydney.
Where can I get this update? Because I am trying on my Desire HD routed Android Revolution 1.9.2. But still no update?

Useless for us in the U.K. as all of our buildings are as short as our garden gnomes, can't see any buildings which google have bothered to render in 3D....shame....
Update: I can confirm that the 3D render is not working on Cyanogen 6.1
Somehow it works in US only.

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.
I have co pilot live. Works great. You just have to download the us map.

No one (I could see) is using small one , we are used to ...bye
Whatever you do don't buy the navigon app!

Lol. I dont have it literally mounted for gps. Im pretty sure i would get ticketed. I bought the mount for other purposes. Or at least find a way to mount above the glove and not the windshield itself

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.

whats so awesome about co pilot? for a 9.99 app or 24.99 for premium it better get me to where i'm going. and reviews on marketplace don't tout it as awesome. unless only people who are complainers are only ones reviewing the app.

I agree, learn to use maps and nav. It might take a few minutes, but then you've learned a valuable skill and saved money.

By far the only and best offline navi for android. If tom tom ever comes out for android id be on top of that. Second. Who says you have to pay for apps.
Look on the market for an app called Locus.

I use copilot live 8.2.0.368 and it works great. I've used it since my HTC G1. Those market reviews must be from those who lack common sense.
The topic of offline navigation has been discussed before. However with the Nexus 7 and JB, what offline app provides the quickest, accurate, and full featured navigation?
-Copilot
-Sygic
-Navfree
-Other????
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 like Sygic. Navfree i could never get it to search without having some form of data. Navigon is supposed to be good too.
Navigon works great for me

The built in navigation works great! I used it a couple times this weekend to test it out.
Sygic
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!

Google Maps w/offline data cached for areas your in. you can get a hell of alot of map area saved offline. still the best imo.
edit: sorry, realized you mentioned POI, navigation does work fine though w/offline gmaps

Unless you can't start navigation where you have a data signal. Then you have a map and your location on it, no navigation.
I've been using Copilot for a number of years now and I love it. Looks and runs beautiful on the N7...

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 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 have it on my gnex and works great. do you know if there are any issues having it on 2 devices or does another license need to be purchased.
But, how do you use it in the car?
I meant, what kind of car holder do you use?
And don't you think it does not obstruct the driving view?

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 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?
I successfully made a homemade version of Google Cardboard. I used the plans that are available on the internet. I had to make some minor modifications to get it to work with my S5. First, I cut some extra holes for the power button and volume buttons to prevent them from getting pushed while in use. I had a couple of round small magnets that were being used as a fastener which fit nicely. Seems one magnet is used to hold the other magnet in place. The two magnets need to slide over each other to get the switch action.
The biggest modification I had to make, was to move the lenses further apart to get the images to line up. I am using lenses I found at Michaels and a set of fold-out lenses that were making up a cheap pair of binoculars. I need the most powerful magnifying glass I could find, in combination with the fold-out lenses. The Michaels magnifying glass was actually combined with lighted tweezers but had a magnification of 4X and was the right size.
Good luck should you try this project, It was worth a few hours of work.
Hi,
I also made it. In general it is successful but the application is limited.
Is tehre a way to view our own 3d videos for example ?
also, I couldn't find any developer forum or cotact about this.
Any ideas ?
thx.
I found one forum that had a good discussion about cardboard. For the most part it was a discussion on finding the parts for construction and their frustrations on finding the lenses. I did not bookmark it and have not been back to the site, sorry. The Oculus Rift site has some discussion about Cardboard, but again not much useful information.
I did a search in the Play Store and found a couple of apps that worked with the Cardboard goggles. My search was for "VR". The best app was "rollercoaster" and another was some jet flying program. A hang gliding program needed some type of keyboard input, it probably would work with some type of Bluetooth controller that I do not have. You might find some 3D viewer that would work with your videos. The only limitation would be control, the magnetic switch does not seem to be supported yet.
thanks for your reply.
actually I would like to have these:
- open 3d video file from my old Fujifilm 3D camera
- open side-by-side 3d videos
- open 3d videos on Youtube (currently it only shows popular Youtube videos -not 3d but in a 3d effected view)
- visit any place on Google Earth in 3D (currently only 4 cities supported on Cardboard app)
have you seen any app that do one or more of these ?
I still see no developments about cardboard. too sad.
Anyone have alternatives to the lenses needed for Cardboard? That kinda kills the project for me

The Google Earth demo supports the entire earth. It only starts in the four cities. You can fly into the sky and the fly back to anyplace on the planet. It is really amazing. As for your own content, you just need to output them as a side by side video or jpg. I look at my own images this way.
Also, for anyone wanting the physical viewer, just by a my3d. you can find them for $7.99 on amazon. It's a failed 3d viewer for the iphone. It has removable backs and you just leave it empty then hold it to your phone. Works great with the cardboard app.

Any NFC tags will work I imagine, as long as your phone has an NFC radio. You'll want to mount the tag in the cardboard so that it can be read by the phones NFC radio. Program it with the URL cardboard://v1.0.0

thanks. now I see that I can go to any place on Google Earth demo. But for example I wanted to visit London. and I could not see any 3d buildings. However, in Google Earth there are several 3D buildings for London.
what do you think ? Am I doing something wrong ?
I want to try Shadowgun VR, but it requires a bluetooth controller and my hands are already full with google cardboard.

While you can't play without a controller, it'll fly you around and when you stop you can at least look all around you. Worth a try because it's the most detailed/smooth world available at the moment IMO.
Also, I modded my headset to be hands free. It only took about 10 mins and a pair of old ski goggles. I used the padding from the goggles as well to line the cardboard to stop RNS (red nose syndrome).

what's the deal ?
Google Cardboard with NFC tag
Once the headset has been constructed, install the cardboard app on your handset, tap the handset against the NFC tag and slot it into the headset. Then you can watch YouTube videos, take a virtual tour around Paris or immerse yourself in an interactive story about a hat.

I too have this up and running and where there a few apps and games currently available i can see its potential is huge. Shadow Gun looks great, i do have a Bluetooth controller however the main problem I have is that once the phone is in the cardboard unit you have to constantly take it in and out to open and close apps, my controller doenst have all the correct buttons mapped to browse android properly. Can anyone recommend a cheap bluetooth controller which has keys and also works as a gamepad, big ask?
