hello,
i was woundering witch is the best navigation system for my phone.
I tried navigon but this app keeps crashing. Is there a free good working navigation app for my phone ?
I prfer no ineternet connection only gps
Tnx
I can't think of any free offline navigation program right now.
But I love Sygic.
Perhaps I think Google maps is the best, furthermore, nw Google maps support cached maps, you're able to load the maps and save it first for yr offline navigation

I have tried
Sygic (Aura) - still the best but better use with bluetooth gps if driving
Copilot - better accuracy but interface and controls are not so fun.
Waze - it is fun if you have lost of friends with smartphones around
Google Nav - is nice then you are walking (but not even comparable to Sygic as it is superb for visiting new places). Anyway I use google maps for informational purposes only.
Navigon - once tried but deleted very quickly - did not find its place between copilot and Sygic
Navfree - not worth even downloading
you could give Igo a shot.
Sygic wins, no need for external gps. I'm a delivery driver and use this on my phone all day, no problems. I use to get drop outs on Cyanogenmod.

There's a particular detail about this, in the Google blog:
"This download stores only the base map tiles and the landmarks on the map, so you still need a data connection to see satellite view and 3D buildings, search for Places and get directions."

+1 for Igo

Use Navigon MobileNavigator Europe v4.0.1, probably you have tried with version 4.0.0. For 4.0.1 you don't need internet connection or rooted phone.
On my DHD i have: Navigon 4.0.1, iGO MyWay v8.4.3.179971, Sygic GPS Navigation v11.2.5 and CoPilot Live Europe Full v 9.1.0.161 only for rooted phones and all works without a problem.
IGO working 100 % .
I am using both Sygic and iGo... both work perfect in my DHD.
In Malaysia the best would be Papago X8, got every details on even the most remote area here.

google navigation
I like navigon, got it free with my phone and brings me where I want to go!
I live in EU and before I rooted my DHD, I bought premium navigation which comes with phone. Travelled to Eastern Europe, London and Croatia (ex Yugoslavian country) and it guide me perfetcly. Thanks to this navigation which I still do not know the name of the application, and thanks to social networks, I drove directly to my internet's friend's house on numerous occasions.

I would ask you If anyone knows how is this stock HTC navigation called. Which firm is behind it? In App drawer it is called just "Locations."
So when I rooted my phone I stick to ROMs which are "derivates" to stock DHD roms. Like ARHD.
If anyone of you could tell me which navigation it is I would be immensely happy.
Hello everyone. I was wondering how can I find out what application is calling onto the GPS. I haven't installed anything new, and I've found my GPS icon flashing all day today and I have NO clue what it could be! So is there any way to figure out what application is calling the GPS?
Thank you very much.
Even if you haven't installed any third party app.. Weather, Google home page, social hub, latitude, places all these apps will keep updating the location. If you want to disable this better check off the the location service.

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 ?

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. ;-);-)

Hi.
Since upgrading to Marshmallow the only Navigation app that works well is Google Maps. All the others I have tried (e.g Waze, Scout, Here ) don't seem to be able to keep GPS locked and aren't able to keep up with my position. The only fix is to use a separate GPS lock app like GPS Widget. Has anyone else experienced this?

All,
One question I am seeking the answer to is can one unlink Waze from AA? Google maps will allow one to run Google maps on the phone and if using a screen mirroring app (e.g. screen2auto, AA Mirror, etc) one can stay in screen mirror road and use Google maps.
Waze, however, refuses to launch on the phone if Android Auto is running. I would like to be able to run Waze on my phone and mirror the screen, so that I do not have to go back to Android auto to see directions if I am mirroring my screen.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Cheers,
B.D.
As far as I know, it is not possible to run two apps using the GPS in the same time. Take in account that even one of the navigation apps runs on AA (screen mirroring), this doesn't mean it is not using the same GPS sensor.

Uhi711,
I appreciate the response, but just to clarify, I am not asking about running two GPS app (though this is possible, as I have run magic earth and maps at the same time>. My question is specific if there is a way to run waze on the phone while connected to AA.
Hope this clarifies.
Cheers,
B.D.
Ok, I didn't understand exactly what you were asking.
I'm not sure that this will solve your problem, but it worth trying.
In AA settings (opened on phone), you have the option to choose what apps you want to be able to see on AA's apps screen (Customize launcher). Disable Waze and see what happens when you connect your phone to your car's infotainment system.

Not sure if this helps but I run Waze & Google maps at the same split screen each set to 2 different locations all the time. Never had any problems. [emoji2369]

Hmmmm. Strange. I tried on my Pixel 3xl and Waze will launch and then FC itself. Google Maps will run on my phone Even if I run Google Maps on my car, or Waze is running on my car. I am on the latest version of AA and Waze.
Thanks for the suggestions and information.
Cheers,
B.D.
Figured it out. If Waze is running (From the head unit), then it will not permit Waze to run on the phone (as the output is already to the head unit). I thought I had exited the app and not had it launch in Android Auto.
To overcome this, I used KWGT to create a widget that when pressed will call a Tasker Task to kill waze. Then I could start waze on the phone (mirror screen) and even have it split screen with my music app.
Hope this helps somebody else.
Cheers,
B.D.
