Anyone know if there's a way to explicitly have the google maps app download some maps?
I'm about to go on a trip where I suspect I'll either be out of cell phone range, or be on roaming data ($$$). I'd rather just turn off the cellular radio, and have google maps up with the GPS, but not sure how possible it is.

Often while using Google Maps, it takes a while to load the maps. I was wondering if it was possible to download these maps to my SD card for faster loading.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI own HTC Desire which has a built-in GPS. It's a really great option, but what really annoys me is this: when I use GPS, my data connection must also be enabled in order to refresh Google Maps. And since data packets in Croatia are still pretty expensive, this is not a option for me. Anyway, the question is: is there a way to fully download Maps to your SD Card without having data connection enabled, but GPS only?
So, just like with standard GPS devices.

Is there an a Google Latitude application that I should have or do I access everything through Google Maps? When I go the www.google.com/latitude on my G1, it offers me the option of "launching" Latitude but it just takes me to Google Maps. From there, I cannot see the locations of my Google "friends" (who have agreed to show location), neither does my own location show up on the Latitude homepage on the web (I have settings turned to "detect my location automatically").

I was wondering if there is an app that allows me to download maps that can be used off line and has gps turn by turn navigation on the downloaded maps. So essentially I'm looking for a navigation app which does not use data.

Since i will hit many spots outside of tower coverage, i am wondering if there is a way to download maps and save them to my phone, so that my GPS location will not be a blue dot amidst a sea of gray boxes. Is there any way for this? Google maps and AndNav both download stuff temporarily, correct? they won't show any maps if they can't locate Edge or 3G network.

I'm using the latest version of Google Maps on JB 4.2.2 [Nexus 4]..I noticed that I cannot edit the names of my locations in "My Places" in the phone app. So I used Google Bookmarks (google.com/bookmarks) from my PC to edit/rename My Places. However, the names do not sync or carry through to the Google Maps app on the phone. The names in the app are still the generic names, coordinates or street names.
Is there any way to change the names of My Places and get them to sync with the phone app? Really baffling!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have purchased HTC Desire (via mobiles.co.uk) with Orange's Panther plan. Orange Maps comes free on Panther 30 plan.
Since my phone came from mobiles.co.uk, it didn't come with Orangeworld or Orange Maps application pre-installed.
When I try to download Orange Maps application, Orange webpage tells me that my handset is not supported. Which is not true, because HTC Desire is listed as a supported handset on Orange Maps website.
When I looked at orange world > help & costs > Your technical info, my handset is being shown as "Orange SPV M2000" instead of HTC Desire. Is it possible that orange website is not recognizing HTC Desire correctly because of which it is not allowing me to download Orange Maps application?
Is there an app of some sort that i can use to download maps onto my phone, to store on my sd card? i only use the Internet through wi-fi, and i have read on all the specs pages for the desire that it has an internal GPS chip.. so can i use it without the Internet? i know that Google maps wont work unless you have the internet on at all time, and i have searched through the app store for a map (of Australia, since that is where i live) but to no avail.

And even if it does work, without service in that region google maps will most likely not work for directions, however is there a way or an app that can download maps of the region for the GPS to work off of?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have several Android devices and each of them has different version of Google Maps: 3.0 in HTC G1, 3.1.1 in HTC Dream and 3.4 in Nexus one and Motorola Droid. When i use the following code: Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("geo:0,0? q=Starbucks"); I get different behavior on the devices: On the latest versions of Google Maps application I see a map the term centered around my current location with a reasonable zoom radius while in Google Maps 3.0 I see list of results and button to the map. Is there a way to get the same behavior on all devices? of course i prefer the behavior of the latest versions

View 1 Replies View RelatedCan somebody please explain this to me. I have been looking through a number of forums relating to Android with maps (google). It costs money to use maps with tmobile as a data connection is required. That's fair enough. But some people say GPS is free (albeit heavy on the phone battery). What use is GPS without some form of maps?

View 2 Replies View RelatedGoogle maps api is great for developing location based services for mobile phones. But for some reason the use of it is restricted for me in a special project.E.g. if your project is in conflict with the general terms and conditions of google it is not recommended to use google maps API.In my app (android, iOS) i want to display a location on a map by retrieving gps information. Overall the api should offer a similar scope of operation like google maps API.Which alternatives do you know? Maybe there are open source api's?
