i use google navigation. all u need is to install brut maps. which is a cracked version of google maps. and walla, u get google navigation. there is turn by turn voice navigation, updated maps as per mantained by google maps.
only downside is that u need a decent data plan...
there is a thread here in this subforum that talks about it


Added on December 9, 2010, 11:28 amdont get confused with agps and gps.
http://www.diffen.com/difference/A-GPS_vs_GPS

basically a-gps uses cell towers information to roughly determine where u at. once it gets a gps lock, then it zeroes to your exact location.

that is why, sometimes, if ur phone is having dificulity locking on a decent gps signal ( u need a min of 3 sats to bounce signals off) u usually get the general location of where u are, this is determined via the cell tower information ...

hmm.gif If we success lock the A-GPS, will it convert back to GPS immediately so that we can lock satellite faster?

meaning A-GPS can assists on faster GPS locking


Added on December 9, 2010, 11:39 am biggrin.gif 1 more choice for yours, Offline Google maps using Rmaps.............

but the map size is pretty large, a Selangor state map used 300MB++

if you got large SD card then you may use it

agps assists on faster gps locking. not really... lah, but it helps for the system u using to determine your general location while it tries to get a gps lock.

rmaps eh ? ok , will find it..
