Yes. Mur4ik wrote to us that (copy necessary libs), but the phone have to get more libs to run that (we will see when run on linux host objdump on lg RIL library and readelf on RIL deamon). When libs is copied, we have to run ril deamon and "tada!" we have working gsm :)

After all this Apple & Android logging location hype I'd like to see what my phone says.

I found this https://github.com/packetlss/android-locdump but have no idea how to use it. Can anyone help me with a step by step guide please?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gianton:
Hi guys,

Been on the dark side for the last 8 months (iPhone 4) and thinking on getting the new Samsung Galaxy S II.

From the specs looks like a great device and really looking forward to its release. In the meantime I would like to know which navigation app will be compatible with Android 2.3? Do I have to use a custom ROM to use free apps?

Thanks for any replies. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zoltan78:
For example you can use Sygnic Aura, it will work on SGS II

I am also waitinging for this phone :)

Free apps you can download from Android Market.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gianton:
Thanks, will I need a custom ROM?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zoltan78:
No you do not need custom.

It works on stock ROMs without any problems.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DVC1985:
What about Google's own Navigator? I'm pretty sure it's free but I can't remember, it came already installed with Google Maps & Street View on my Galaxy Tab.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] gianton:
Is Google Navigation working offline?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zoltan78:
I do not know what apps will be instaled by samsung in this phone.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zoltan78:
It is working online.

BTW I saw the Google Maps navigation icon on movis from the testers.

This I found in another thread

what you need is ownhere google maps 5.3.1, this is a mod version which enabled world wide navigation just google it...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Athailias:
Android has free map apps that do work offline. I am not sure which ones and too lazy to look it up for ya.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
here's a good one http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] b33p_:
I use Google Maps' Navigator on the HTC Desire, in the car with an upgrade kit (mount & charger). I'd be interested in getting the same when I get the GS2 as it is a fantastic piece of software.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] troed:
Tx for the sygic aura tip !

Looks pretty neat, map coverage is much better than Copilot, 3D feature and graphics look great and the prize is VERY reasonable ! Almost whole world for 100 bucks !

That will be my first app purchase once my SGSII has arrived :):):):D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dimaru:
Well why don't you wait and try google navigation, it's free and it will download your route (as long as you have a data connection when you start your journey)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Schmich:
Google Maps/Navigation caches your route and most visited locations so it has semi-offline capabilities.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Huck33:
what about copilote or Ndrive?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nameless21:
I hope tomtom don't take to long. I know they are concerned about piracy. But i will pay when they do decide.

Navigon is a great paid option
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] valdigre:
Navigon is great alright, however they have outdated Q3 2010 maps and does not seem they will update them any soon.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vimto25:
Copilot only £16.99 does this work ok? or can you get for free~?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] entropia:
I use copilot UK and US and in my opinion it is better than TomTom.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vimto25:
from market place? im after a good program and dont want to waste money if turns out to be crap
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] entropia:
Yes. The price was around £17.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] travisb:
Another vote for CoPilot Live. Had it in WinMob, iPhone and Android over the years. The latest version will work off external sd card (not much of an issue with the SGSII though!)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vinokirk:
There is a way to get it for free, you will have to Google it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
try sygic aura
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Plonker:
Copilot was the first application I bought when I got my S2. I've been using it for a while on my Touch HD and as I've moved from WinMo to Android, couldn't transfer it. However, the price was just over £20 after they added VAT. :mad:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] travisb:
Already had it on iPhone then won a version of my choice in a competition. SGSII arrives tomorrow :-)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Burko:
Why not just use Google Navigation?

If the reason is that you dont want to pay for a data connection then you have a bigger problem than you realise....
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] travisb:
No it's more to do with data connections being flaky, at least that's been my experience in the UK
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 3waygeek:
I've been a big fan of CoPilot Live on Windows Mobile, and have been using it for years. I have no reason to believe that the Android version would be any different, and it'll be the first app I buy for my SGS II whenever I get it.

Here in the US, the biggest feature (IMHO) of CoPilot is the monthly map updates. If you report an error/omission on their maps, they promise to have an updated map available within 45 days. Try that with a built-in GPS.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] winwiz:

Just came away from Co-pilot as the routing is not very reliable
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dwj:
Google maps navigation is great apart from that awful female robot voice that cant pronounce anything correctly. I wonder if they will ever make any alternatives to download.

You can find Igo by googling around. Its routing is very reliable in my experience and the 3d terrain mapping etc looks great on SG2 screen too.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Huck33:
i'm using ndrive...

i also tried Sygis aura but downloading amps over wifi is too long....
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Burko:
I've never had a problem, in fact, I'm pretty sure that it caches the maps before your journey starts?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] travisb:
The other advantage of CoPilot, is the ability to install Speed Camera databases like the one I subscribe to from PocketGPSWorld.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] WeeJockMacFeegle:
I gave up on Google Navigation. Every time I put in my postcode and house number it would find my address perfectly fine.

It would then try to send me to a house 20 miles from my home.

Why not just use Google Navigation?

If the reason is that you dont want to pay for a data connection then you have a bigger problem than you realise....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's stupid! What problem? What if you find yourself in an area with no data / cellular connection? There is absolutely no reason why navigation software needs to be connected to the internet unless you want extra features like live traffic data or search for places that are not included in your POI database.

I drive around whole continental USA and Canada and get reliable data connection only 50% of the time outside of cities (mountains, deserts). I would be majorly screwed with online option only.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] thelestat:
Here are a few reasons:

Google navigation:

- only works in a small part of the world (major cities in the us and western europe mainly)

- the maps are out of date (10 yrs + in some countries, Malaysia for example)

- maps are inaccurate (the road outside my house looks like an eeg of someone having a heart attack, when in real life it is a straight road).

- requires data connection, which is not practical unless you have an unlimited data plan and are not roaming, even though when you are roaming is when you are most likely to need it.

Two good navigation aps are sygic aura and ndrive.

Ndrive has better navigation, aura has more functionality.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JJEgan:
Just came away from Co-pilot as the routing is not very reliable

Found it as reliable as any only one with a bit extra would be the Tom Tom live with traffic service .

PC Pro current issue have an interesting sat nav comparison test .

Tom Tom for IPhone 4 star and CoPilot for Android 4 star .

Google nav ok for occasional one off journeys .

Skobbler poor

Sygic Aura quirky 3 star .

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Incarniac:
It might be worth taking a look at this page, including the user comments at the bottom. The reviews are of varying age and not the very latest, but still interesting.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] valdigre:
Navigon used to be ma favorite, then Copilot, however I am a bit dissapointed now, as they did not update maps recently and does not really seem like they will soon.

I am trying out Sygic now (aka Aura, however it's called now Sygic in android market) and it looks promising. Accelerated graphics, many useful options, updated maps - pretty happy atm.

Will try it out and see how reliable this nav is.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mbernstein:
I'm moving to the SGS2 this week from WM. I've been using Tomtom for a few years with good results, but there is no Tomtom for Android.

Reading the forums and websites, Sygic seems to be transforming into a top notch navigation soft, and it uses Tomtoms maps, which is good. The biggest caveat I've read (some mentioned the it was sometimes slow, but this isn't likely to affect the SGS2, right?) is its route planning, which sometimes takes you to a longer journey. And this, of course, is a big issue.

Did someone try the new Sygic 3 as compared to the others to see if they corrected the problem?

Appreciate the input. Thanks.

PS: read that there is a 14 day trial for Sygic, if so I'm planning to compare it to my Tomtom on a HD2, but any previous opinion will be welcomed.

PPS: Does anyone know if the Navigon for Android also has the ability to add the Michelin Red Guide as Navigon fo iPhone has?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] stian230:
Google navigation has it if you mean "nav to Nearest bank/restaurants or pubs" . Where do you live? Not all countries have google navigation enabled .. her is the haked version http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007132
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mbernstein:
You're probably referring to my question about the Michelin Guide, but my concern about the Guide is to use when traveling abroad thus I do not want to use data. Also the Red Guide is a gourmet guide, different from the Google option. Thanks anyway.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] AnttiV:
Sorry about the (related) hijack.. but WHAT the EFFIN' H*LL about the application prices?!

Just LOOK at Navigon and CoPilot for example:

Navigon US ~ 27 euros

Navigon, Scandinavia Only ~ 60 euros

what?

But, get this:

CoPilot Live USA (With monthly updates): ~ 4 euros

CoPilot Live Europe ~ 57 euros....

What...? I.. nevermind, I probably won't get it even if somebody would explain.

That's just plain.. wrong.

On a sidenote, is there a navigation app with turn-by-turn audio that enables you to choose the language? And not just plainly use the system language (like navigon can copilot do). Just my opinion, but I think it's rather retarded not to give the user the ability to choose the language in-app...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 3waygeek:
CoPilot for Android doesn't let you choose the language? The WinMo version does.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CEPi:
Of course it does let you choose the language. Language and Voice in the settings, currently i see Us/UK english, german, french, spanish, italian etc.

I tried today Sygic Aura, Navigon, CoPilot, Igo.

Definitely Navigon remains my favorite, followed by Igo. Sygic looks the most visually apealing with effects etc. but somehow it doesn't feel good to me.

One more thing, I drove today about 4 hours, with SGS2 on phone holder as navigation used all the time, and I tell you i thought it's going to melt from how hot it got. I switched a/c many times for a few minutes to cool it down since it's on the front ventialation grill mounted. The hottest i've ever touched a phone.

I guess plastic is not a good heat dissipation material.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] AnttiV:
I confess I haven't tried lately (in a year or so, haven't had the need), but the versions about a year back didn't let you choose a language for turn-by-turn instructions other than the system language.

Navigon even officially replied to me that it is not a bug but a feature, that it is supposed to be only used in the same language as the phone's system.

Is the CoPilot's language choice option a new one? I don't really remember what version I was running (the one that was sold in late '09) back then, but that certainly didn't let me choose another language for the turn-by-turn instructions.

iGo works pretty good on s2
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] crypticc:
Offline us better now they've gone to vector maps. You still need online for initial planning

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BatterBits:
I think it's certainly subjective, but I can give you some pointers based on my own experience.

Navigon

Works well - but not feature laden. Biggest neg for me is it won't run in the background (Milestone - I haven't bothered to reload it on the S2). I recently took a trip aproad, I like to run a speedcamera app, plus nav, plus music app. Every time I wanted to change track/album, Navigon had to be restarted. Longest test period available

It doesn't do moving to SD card either - so (not a problem on the S2) it's a massive 28MB in memory.

Copilot

Most features. Most configurable So far, the only one that appears to be _designed_ to run in the background. Looks great. Awful, Awful routing algorithms. No trial version - and I haven't found aything on the website to suggest that they will refund you if you can't make it work

I have a 90 minute commute. It's pretty simple, from Rugeley in Staffordshire to Sheffield. A513->A38->A61 Not for Copilot though, it was like it _had_ to make me use anything but those 3 roads. I know that they can be configured, and I will get around to tweaking the preferences - but - I've never had to do this, and I don't know what settings to use for optimum.

Sygic Aura

It's a right royal pain to set up - in terms of it seems to take hours to download the 350MB of maps for the UK - and it won't let you do it without WiFi - hell I have an unlimited dataplan, I _want_ to download it over the air! It seems to run in the background for up to about 10 minutes or so and then dies. But no icon in the notifcation bar - so you have to use the task manager to get back to it. 7 or 14 day test period available

Seems to have some deficiencies in its databse - I can't navigate exactly to my work Postcode - because it offers 2 different streets than the one I need for my postcode - and I cant use the street address - because its not recognised

Google Navigation

Only downside to this is that it doesn't store maps on the SD card. You _should_ be able to get the whole route before you set off (WiFi for example) but it's no good if you're abroad - data roaming on O2 - You cannot be serious - how much? :eek:

Overall - none of them do _exactly_ what I want. CoPilot comes closest - and I understand that they are about to release a new version - but hell - I wouldn't use it if I knew where I was going, let alone if I didn't.

So, at the moment, probably Aura nudges ahead on features for UK usage.

I haven't yet tried NDrive or iGo(I thought this had been withdrawn) - but, as I haven't yet found what I need....

HTH
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] valdigre:
Did you try the latest Aura? It is called now Sygic, and it runs in background no problems. Hell, it has an icon in the notification bar, at least on my SG2.

What I can also add is that currently, from those 3 mentioned offline navs, only Aura has the most recent maps, I think Q1.2011 (Although in the system it says 2013 :/) and the rest has Q32010, which for example for Ireland, makes quite a difference.

Aura has also some minor stability issues, it can crash on you when you are starting it up, however it hasn't crashed on me during route navigation (not yet anyway).

Navigon is very minimalistic in terms of options, which is positive on one side, Copilot is veeery advanced, has the most options and configuration available.

For me the biggest problem is map updates, Navigon does not plan to update their maps any soon and if it does, it will probably be not free. Copilot released update for their maps a couple of months ago, but again, not sure if next update will be free.

Aura on the other hand promises free map updates, we'll see how it turns out in reality.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rikkyj:
Navigon is not working on my SG2.....

Does anyone know what the problem is....
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CEPi:
The legal one is working. I just downloaded it from the market, over wifi 3gb+ EU maps and it's a breaze. Graphics lacking a little polish compared to wifes Iphone4 but its good.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] McLuke:
You should try iGO MyWay. I am using it on my SGS 2 and i used it on my SGS 1 too. It's the best gps software. No root or custom rom needed.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Bebeto94:
Why not try NavFree UK

"When it comes to free navigation apps on Android it’s hard to look beyond the awesome Google Maps. But one company, Navmii, is trying its darndest to convert you over to its feature rich NavFree UK software. This app has already been doing big numbers on the iPhone – more than 1.7 million downloads – and now its Android turn to enjoy its gratis sat nav skills.

Navmii is able to hawk this app for nada because the map data is based around the community based OpenStreetMap (OSM). This means the users can update the mappage themselves to build a more accurate picture and with over 300,000 map updates already made by iPhone users, it appears Navfree is fast approaching pro-quality.

Unlike Google Maps, NavFree doesn’t rely on a data connection for its map feed. The whole of the UK & Republic of Ireland as a 300MB file is downloaded straight to your phone so your route won’t be interrupted should a network signal be lost.

Elsewhere, the app is stocked with features you would expect from dedicated sat nav devices: turn-by-turn voice instructions, 3D map view, a re-routing facility and Point of Interest (POI) search, amongst others. NavFree also lets you share your position and route via SMS, email and the top dog social networking services Facebook and Twitter."

Its downloadable from Expansys website as of now but i cant get it to run on my S2 as it just hangs ?

Sorry, as a newbie to this forum im unable to post a direct link!!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ciddy:
I'm running iGo 8 on my SGS2, you don't have to root to use free apps. works like a charm with voice guidance.

An excellent (free) app with included map download for offline use functionality is Locus, it also lets you choose different map providers (Bing, Yahoo, OSM etc.). You can download whichever map area and zoom levels you want and then disconnect all data connections.

It will NOT route and give directions (other than heading to target), so it's not a navigation solution.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cmd512:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ciddy:
the OP was asking for an offline solution as roaming charges for data are still obscene, and so far I have not gotten good results with offline guidance in Google Nav without complicated precaching the entire route.
