General :: Offline Maps / GPS With Walking Direction?
Mar 14, 2013
i am about to travel. I would need a working offline maps with GPS/navigation service. I have tried Google offline maps but it doesn't work with "direction" so I find it kinda useless. Any offline maps/GPS service with walking direction? Navigon is the closest thing to what I want but I can't download the south america maps from play store (they say it's not available for my country). I am thinking to buy NDrive considering they use the same database (navteq).
Does NDrive have walking GPS direction (and available offline) like Navigon? If NDrive doesnt do it for me

Q: What map areas are available Offline with Google Maps 6.9.0 for Android?
Background: With Google Maps 6.9.0 it is possible to make certain maps areas available offline. As for Europe, this seems to be dependant upon where you attempt to make this happen. Most of Croatia (except Zagreb) seems to be unavailable, same goes for most of Italy except major cities.

Nokia's OVI maps. By far I think it's the best offline GPS navigation app. It included downloadable maps categorized by country. And smooth search function and offline turn by turn navigation. (Best of all it was free)
Now my real question is: are there any apps for android that supports offline turn by turn directions and navigation that also feature downloaded maps?

I need an application with which I can store maps with different zoom levels. I remember the application "Istanbul Map" let me do this and I could download Google (or other sources') maps from the zoom level I was in up to the maximum zoom level of my preference. Therefore, assuming that I had downloaded the map, when zoomed out I could only see street names and when zoomed in I could see the shops and their names or any other details corresponding to that zoom level, in case I had set the maximum zoom level to 17, 18 or 19.
However it's been two years that I haven't used that application and now that I downloaded "Istanbul Map" from Google Play I noticed that it doesn't offer the same features as before and it seems that it is specifically for Istanbul. Besides, I need to buy the application in order to use it while the previous versions were free.
Now that I am going on a trip and while on way I might need to zoom in up to the 18th zoom level to see the names of stores or other details. So I need an application that provides me the same feature as the old "Istanbul Map" letting me download Google maps for different zoom levels.The built-in Google maps application only allows to download a map with a fixed zoom level and it is useless for me.

Ever since Google started allowing offline maps (both in the old Google Maps incarnation, and in the current one), I have found that when I download a map section for offline viewing, often there are many details missing (small street names, for example).
Any way to make Google maps download map tiles to their maximum level of detail (the level you could get if you zoomed in all the way), including all street names? You'd think this would be a given, but it seems not to be.
Searching around for discussions of this, most articles and forum threads are just about tile caching in general, not level of detailed cached.

i just registered here to find out if opening a KML file on my SD card with Google maps in offline mode can work. I am looking for an solution quite a time, but only found this thread on stackover.
Quote:
To load kml into Google Maps on Android without writing an app, you can create a little html file somewhere with a geo-uri link to the kml file and then click on that link in any Android web browser.
For example: suppose your kml file is located in /sdcard/overlay.kml then you write a geo-uri link like this:
Quote:
<html>
<head><title>Example KML link page using a geo-uri</title></head>
<body>
<a href="geo:0,0?q=file:///sdcard/overlay.kml">overlay.kml</a>
</body>
</html>
Clicking on the link will launch Maps and then Maps will attempt to load and your kml.
Be warned however that the Android version of Maps does not appear to handle the same version/range of kml elements as the desktop version (or desktop Google Earth).
a other thread is about editing the manifest file to get maps to open local KML files
Quote:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="h**p://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.lyold"
[Code]....
Any way to open local KML files with google maps in offline mode ? I want to open kml ONLY in google maps, i know there are several apps out there that support kml files....

Is there a way to have google maps orientate to the directions I am going? For example right now if I am traveling south the blue arrow moves down the map. I would like the blue arrow to always point up and have the map re-orientate as I drive.

When using Google Maps (not navigation) does it display your route so that you are always going "up", or does it display your route so you are going left?
So if I fire up Google Maps and just want to leave it on while I drive home, but I'm not trying to do any kind of navigation...though I might open the traffic layer, should my route be coming from the bottom of the screen going upwards or should it be going from the right to the left?
I noticed driving home the other night it was tracking me going right to left. It seemed odd.

I'm somewhat unfamiliar with the droid incredible's GPS features. I know it uses A-GPS, but I've been led to believe that the use of cell towers is only to facilitate the acquisition of the almanac or when GPS signal is unavaible altogether. I'd like to use my phone's GPS while camping, at which point I'll be well away from cell coverage. Will I still be able to get a GPS signal. If so can anyone reccomend a topographic mapping software that I can download maps from to my phone?

I don't currently have a data plan. Since I'm on WiFi 95% of the time, I don't plan on getting one. The only thing I haven't been able to do easily (without a data plan) is use Google Maps while driving/walking.If I load the maps before leaving a WiFi hotspot, my location is tracked and I can pan around the map. Of course, as soon as I want to view another uncached portion of the map, I can't.Maps are small, and it would be perfect if I could cache maps for a certain area - say everything within 100 mi of my house. Any ideas?

I am an avid outdoorsmen and I have downloaded a few different gps apps to my droid. Like My Tracks, Oruxmaps, Trekbuddy, Geobeagle, and so on. I cannot figure out for the life of me how to download an offline map to put on these apps so that I may use the gps feature when I have no signal. Can someone please help me out with all of this? I'm about to go crazy here.

I am working to develop a customized business concept to call a taxi. Where customers request a Taxi on smart phone app. Taxi drivers will have an Android GPS pre-loaded with maps to work off line. The Taxi driver is guided to the customer using voice navigation (for safety).
Questions:
* Where to find the latest maps to be used for Andriod GPS off-line.
* Which software to use for voice navigation off-line.
* Which software to use for off-line navigation directions from point A to point B.

For an application I am working on, I need to display custom raster image tiles (not vector based, probably from satellite imagery), and I need to do so offline. I would like to use the MapView, but I cannot see a way to tell it to use custom, offline map tiles instead of pulling down data from google's servers.
I've seen a few alternatives, but none seem appropriate to my need MapDroyd Seems to only support vector-based maps. mapdroyd.com/ OSMDroid Appears to use Open Street Maps; I don't see any documentation anywhere stating that you can use custom map tiles. code.google.com/p/osmdroid/ There was a third alternative, but my post got eaten and I can't find it in my history. Am I going to have to bite the bullet and 'roll my own'?

I have tried 2 GPS trackers and both were not accurate for measuring distance. I used My Tracks and Cardio Trainer. I really like Cardio Trainer but it adds 3 tenths of a mile for every mile. My Tracks was off as well. Anyway just wondering if anyone has had good luck with another application?

The monthly walking distance recap in Google Now is useful, but if that card disappears how can I view the information again?
Obviously some of the information is stored somewhere in the googleverse as it does comparisons (i.e. 70 miles in nov verses 55 in Dec).

I've switched from the iPhone to the Hero a week ago. I really like the Hero, even though some functions are better on the iphone (like the musci player).
There is one Issue however, which is really bugging me with the HTC, which might make me switch back to the iPHone if I can't find a solution.
Problem:
When I call with my headset (Not the original ones, I don't have huge ear holes....) I can't "switch off" the screen and put the phone in my pocket and call while walking... This sucks, as I have to hold the phone in my hands, which kind of kills the idea of having a headset.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but when I look up driving directions on my phone and the route is displayed on the map it no longer has the button to go to direction list. It shows the route on the map but doesn't let me look at the written directions. The only button down there is get directions and if I press it it takes me back to my location search screen with my destination erased. I can't image why they would take this out.
