hi guys! as far as i concerned, there's only Papago which is usable in Android Phone only right? or more specific, on 1.6 only. I'm a heavy GPS user and a WinMo user b4. but right now, i kinda like turning my head towards Andorid but the main problem is the GPS.

so just wanna ask fellow Androidian, what GPS are u using now and heard rumours that Garmin is developing the system for Android too?

anybody could help me?

thanks

regards,
billy.

Afaik, papago X5 works on 1.5

while M6 works on 2.0 (with some tweaks, not really sure because my hero is on 1.5)

garmin? i dont even give a f*** about them.. papago FTW

Try Sygic.... but the map not very accurate, at least in Msia.

I'm using iGO for my donut

Any there any other GPS that suitable for donut?

SO THAT MEANS papago can be used in devices like in milestone which is 2.1?

bro... where u got ur iGO from...???

yeah papago can use for android 2.1 but take note its not officially available in malaysia. The point of interests are all screwed up(ie. the logos and all is wrong) and the menu is in chinese but u can input in english to search.

i am also still waiting for an offline gps software but till now there is none which is good and available yet. u can read further in detail in this android forum for more details. there is 2 threads going on about gps for android already. =)

Try WAZE. It is a free navigation GPS app that is community base. As more people use it then you can get real live traffic updates. Give it a try.

Waze? Any screenshot bro??

If you want to know more about WAZE then go to www.waze.com or just download it free from Android market under WAZE. You can uninstall it if u don't like it.

thanksss....=D

how do u rate it? u using it now?

Not an offline GPS??
So, no GPS like Garmin for now..
But i heard Papago is suit with android..
Just not stable yet...

tried WAZE yesterday night. Google Map, modded with voice speech, is still better.

is WAZE support with HTC Legend? I've installed Sygic in my Legend but somehow the navigation doesn't show while i'm outdoor...i already enable my GPS btw.

Try downloading Nav Launcher in the Market. Let the application download the modded version of Google Maps. Launch the application (Nav Launcher) then search for the address you want it to navigate to. There's some lag in the voice but the navigation is awesome. I was in Ipoh for the weekend and I used this application to get around Ipoh for food hunt and it work flawlessly. Love it!

is still does need data right?

It adds navigation functionality to your stock Google Maps, so yeah it still needs data

as far as i know, yes needs data.

I think waze not offline gps..........

Installed Nav also but uninstalled it after trying. Brut modded Google Map Nagivation is still better so far but the voice speech is really :confused:

So, no official offline GPS for Android yet..
Have to wait again and again.. Duwh...

Waze is just another google... wasted some times

Rite now use igo my way nav sftware on my magic with custom rom sanpei 0.4 eris 2.1..work like a charm,very fast locked gps..testing on my fren hero also work but now work on legend,myb coz the size of the screen...
Juz type "igo android" at google search..

ouch.. not tested the iGO yet, but since someone posted that it doesn't work with Legend, i doubt it will work with Desire since the screen is 480x800

Can someone sharing with me as well please..

i just tested the "Nav Launcher" that you can download from android market. i think it is quite ok. Just download the app, and then run it, it will ask you to download some sort of text-to-speech app and modified google map called brutmap or something. you can then use the navigation program...

I alreadt try google nav, now i just want to try igo. Can someone share with me the igo installer

Sounds interesting, pm me as well for the 'stuff' tq

alreay got it thanks,

unfortunately i can't install it. it keep saying "Out of Space", i already free up some space (currently i have 35mb free space in phone memory) but still not enough eh? how much it need actually?

iGO..? you can check the folder size using your PC.. i think it is quite a lot. also check the map size...

I thought the maps will be stored on the sd card, only application installed on the phone memory

oh yeah, forgot about that...

anyway, on what phone are you testing it on ?

This post has been edited by azizul1975: May 28 2010, 06:03 PM

HTC Tattoo.. support or not? when i try to install, it keep saying "Out of space, please free up your phone memory"

by the way, for those who want to try Google Navigator, can try download from this site
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887

anyone can teach me how to install igo? i already copy the file on SD but dunno how to go about it from there...

any help is highly appreciated..
