You could possibly share with someone that has the maps already downloaded
Google Navigator v. 3.8
Yes, I purchased google navigator several weeks. I think it's up to version 3.8 now, which is pretty good and becoming more stable. It can be purchased here - http://www.pdafun.net/buy.htm
dealwagon,
As far as "pre-downloading" maps for offline use., that's a no go and not an option for Google Navigator. Your best bet is using Tom Tom, iGo, Garmin, etc, that uses phone's internal gps. You may want to check this out though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340667
Google Navigator 4.2
WARNING:
NO WAREZ OR WAREZ OFFERS!
THIS IS YOUR FIRST WARNING AND IVE SEEN YOU ASKING FOR V4.2
STOP ASKING/OFFERING OR I WILL BAN YOU FOR A COUPLE DAYS
4.3 is out and about and yes I have it....... Its hard to believe but.... I actually have a legitimate copy which I paid for!! My new GPS antenna for the Kaiser should be here tommorrow or Saturday. I am getting 7-8 satellites right now, but hope to improve it with a external antenna..........
I got hooked on the Google Navigator when the guy I bought the phone off of sent me a DVD with 4.3 gigs of applications on it for the Kaiser
Guys if you have to purchase this software I wouldn't mention sharing stuff on here because that might be considered warez and will get you the banhammer from the mods.
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.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any nav program with maps that cover brazil...
But about 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
I would like to know what Application do you use for Navigation (but not Google Maps). I'm not sure does the Navigon has app for Android phone or Tom Tom.
I used navigon and works Perfect in the Hero, you need to have in your SD card minimum 2 Gigabytes free, try the Demo that is in the google market.
Copilot seems to work flawlessly for me ?
Should I root the Hero to see the paid apps on the Android Market? If i should what rom is the best for Hero? I downloaded some Modaco's 3.2 rom but couldn't install it...
you'll need to root the phone to run a custom rom, follow the many guides on here, then you can install the modaco rom, as said though for sat nav, copilot is probably the best out there.
I rooted and installed a modaco 3.2 rom . but still can't see paid apps on the market?

you may need market enabler search it on these forums
I installed market enabler but still can't see paid apps? should I set smth on the program?
I see now paid apps on the market with the Market Enabler. But just need free space for the Navigon.... got to buy SD card with more space ...
as i can see comments the Copilot crashes often, i see good comments about Navigon.

co pilot never crashed on me, i tried to get navi gone but never managed to download uk maps.
what about cracks and serials? is it easy to find?

We cannot discuss that here! So don't ask!
Copilot is really cheap! I have used it on Iphone and WM, found it slow on Iphone and crashed on a HTC HD2 a lot. So I have stayed away from it on Android.
I use Navigon and it is great.
I use Sygic Mobile Maps, which is very good. You can't buy it in the Market - either download from their site or buy a retail version from Teleatlas.
I have heard a lot of bad reports about Copilot's support. I suggest you have a read of the forums on this site
I think for my country the best one is Navigon. But first I need Sd card with more space at least 4gb,(need to create again a goldcard on the new Sd card .... )got to buy the license for the Navigon ... I still haven't unlocked the phone yet kinda don't believe those sites who sell the codes ...
I see now why Android makes you a hard developer ....
I just thought I'd stick up for CoPilot, I have been using it since before christmas on many ROM's (including 1.5, 1.6 and 2.1 both sense and vanilla) and I have never once had a single crash or freeze with it. Works perfectly, would recommend it it highly

go away.....
sorry but this really really annoys me. People put a lot of work and effort into making apps for phones like ours and prices are mainly cheap. If everyone started hacking apps all the time then prices would rise or in extreme cases dev's would just stop making apps altogether (less so when its a big company making it).
You should respect both the dev's copyright as well as the rules of this forum.
i like Igo Myway. Has 3d & turn by turn. Plus instead of a car you can have a bloke on a bike, a tank or a boy on a magic carpet.
+1 for iGo Myway! I love it.
Another vote for IGo
IGo seems to be the best one available so far. I tried CoPilot but it has issues with the routing it chooses, although I had fastest route selected, it sometimes routed me through small roads when I had the motorway available. Other than that it worked fine. Tried Navigon, it works fine but I don't like the fact that it doesn't display enough information like speed, distance to destination, time left to travel (or I couldn't find how to do it?) but my favorite so far is IGo.
Hello guys,
Can you recomend to me the best navigation program for i9000?
The coverage of the maps should have mandatory Romania(from where am I) and of course other neighbour countries.
For instance I checked Navigon and on their site is written they cover only 10% of Romania.
I saw that there is iGo my Way for Android but I am not able to downlod it for trying as Navigon for instance.
Thanks,
BR,
Mircea
Well the only services that fully cover romania are Google Maps, Garmin and Nokia maps.
I like NDrive, is maybe not the best Navigation Programm but i would try it. Maybe the coverage is not so bad for Romania. You can download a trial version over the market.
try waze! its awesome
Copilot. Romanian map is quite good
Hi,
I'm using motonav with igo maps and is working pretty well.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
copilot has the best interface. motonav/igo is much accurate though.
Ndrive plus the have a new build for Androids with new maps.
What about the Samsung Navigation app? I use Maps and CoPilot depending on my signal and love it.

Hi Mircea,
For our country you can use google maps as well. They are very detailed. For external countries personally i use Navigon and works decent or you can buy Igo for android, from my last experiences with igo, the Romanian map is well done.
Anybody knows good Nav with Thailand map?
using CoPilot
I use copilot, great nav app.

Great thread. Any recommendation for those in Sweden and would work well within Europe as well?

I second that!
What is wrong with th ebuilt in Google nav? I don't get it, why people want a different app...
- The maps are always going to be the most up to date available, since they are live.
- The maps along your route are all pre-cached so OTA data use is not an issue either
- The turn by turn directions work great
- You have street view photos at your destination to help you find the exact place, no other app does that

I have tested CoPilot, NDrive and Navigon, and in my opinion NDrive has the best/easiest interface so far, and its working very well in galaxy. No problem with Navigon or Copilot but in bouth the interface was crappy. I dont like them att all. When TomTom isnt available for android I use NDrive in my Galaxy with Skandinavia map. But everybody has it own taiste about the interface.

I agree that google nav is pretty winful, but it has far from universal coverage. To my knowledge it is US/UK only, and the UK one is in beta, and although definitely very usable, it still has some problems, hence why those in the EU might need a paid app.
TBH if more satnav programs had trial versions then I'd be happy to pay for an app having discovered that it is genuinely better, but it takes a few days at least to work out if your satnav feels good to you, and after that theres no refund *sigh*.
I have tested a few, and my favourite is Navigon.
However, it is one of the most expensive applications, and I can not buy maps for Scandinavia alone, so I'm looking for a replacement.
Unfortunately Google's Navigation is not available in Norway.
Which do you prefer?
Please take my poll, and I appreciate additional information and tips if you have tested several navigation systems.
Thanks!
I prefer copilot as google navigation does not allow or let you save fav places which are not on the map say for instance I am looking for a shop not in the search result so I look on the map,pin it but cannot save it in say shops or eating places like you can in copilot.
Yeah, me too. Copilot is great.

am using Copilot too and am pretty much happy about it!
I found Navigon to be a very good and "light-weight" navigation software. It's easy to use, gives great directions and has a clean layout. Still it could benifit from more options and customizations as it's really not that advanced.
CoPilot is a great application also, but I think it's interface is too cluttered.
Yesterday I read a review about Sygic Aura, and bought the Scandinavian version for 19,99EUR. This is by far my favourite of these three as it has a really nice UI, great (and I mean really great) graphichs and is really easy to use but still has a lot of advanced feautures.
I agree, sigyc Aura is greate. Easy to use and really grate grafics and UI.
im useing "waze", you can find it on the market.
Guys, don't you think CoPilot is a bit inaccurate when calculating travelling time though?
My commute into work takes 1 hour, always has, TomTom agrees with me, but CoPilot thinks it'll take 1.5 hours.... strange...
Sygic Aura doesn't give you the price. you only can download the free version. Don't like this. I want to know how much I'm going to pay if I buy it. Won't even try it.
I've got LOCATIONS, but for me the best is TOMTOM. I had it on my Kaiser, and with its so small screen I was able on one little glance to read all important elements (next way out, speed, etc..)
NDrive is good and has fairly up to date australian maps, Aura lacks maps for australia it seems which is unfortunate.
Brut maps all the way buddy. Google it

Sygic Aura all the way! But I do miss my igo8 on wm6.5
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Nobody talks about LOCATIONS PREMIUM.
Interesting navigation, but missing a lot of options. Not expensive.
Missing :
- enter adress from contacts (as MAPS)
- enter GPS with the coordinates.
each time you want to configure you have to go back to locations. it means shut the navigation down and open LOCATION.
Otherwise, its very clear navigation. GPS is very precise (suppose it doesn't depend of the program)
hope we'll soon have a good update...

Sure you're living in a big country. In Switzerland you walk 2 steps and you are in roaming!!!
In CoPilot I miss the following funktions.
When they are fixed I think it will be the best Nav-app:
Foto-nav - When I get qa photo by mms or mail, it would be great to be able to navigate to it.
Navigate to contact - Now I cant click a contact in my phone-book and navigate to him/her. That sux!
