I installed Sygic and does seem to have US maps. I downloaded Texas (256mb!) and so far looks like it will work. I think half the reason the download is so large is it looks like it uses Ivona voices and downloads most of them. English Emma is great! Will try out the NAV on my way home tonight. Looks like it's only a 7 day trial.

I just used my wifi connection, took about 10 minutes to download 256mb.

edit: What does Sygic cost, just the cost of the map you download? Do you buy maps of the Sygic site (in Euros?), $20 for USA seems OK if it's a one tiime charge (and if it works as well as Google Nav).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] amarth6:
NavFree

You wrong man, they do have U.S. maps. It is called NavFree USA :). I have downloaded it; however, I got it from the Samsung App Store since I cannot find it in the Android Market.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Zyxxeil:
I dont know if this has been mentioned before but in the samsung apps you will find a free offline gps for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] tcat007:
Used Sygic on my home tonight. Works well, now I need a car charger that works (my Optimus one doesn't charge it). Sygic has a lot of nice features, speed limit sign, est time you'll arrive at destination, very good voices...

Guess I'll have to look at that Samsung thing too...

edit: Pulling Navfree USA Map now... at 1gb and only halfway loaded! No one state option which really sux. But it's free!

edit2... my free memory went from 3.8gb free to 400mb free and it's still not all there... not looking good.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jimcpl:
Based on info in this thread, I also installed from Samsung Apps, and am downloading the USA maps. Our downloads must be "fighting" each other, because it's been almost 20 minutes now, and that slider/progress bar is barely budging :)... Hopefully, it'll be moveable to SD??

Jim
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jimcpl:
I left the download to run overnight, and it's finished this morning. App seems to be working ok. It looks like it put itself on the (external) SD card, about 84MB?

I haven't tried it for navigation yet, but it's showing my location approx. correctly.

I don't know how long it took for the download of the US map, but probably at least several hours. Then again, I have a TomTom that also takes several hours to update, so this seems typical.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] tcat007:
First time I downloaded Navfree from Samsung apps, only gave me option to download "USA". After 2gb+ of data it still wouldn't load. I uninstalled and installed Navfree USA from the Market https://market.android.com/details?...EwMiwiY29tLm5hdmZyZWUuYW5kcm9pZC5PU00uVVNBIl0.. It gave option to just download Texas. First try it said fail, second try it started and only took about 10 minutes. Files are in Android/data folder, 312mb. App is real glitchy but does work. Won't find a street number, unless you have wifi and search for it in Google, then it will locate it. Contact addresses don't work "next release".

I also have Sygic on my 5.0. It works much better, used 675mb (for Texas), but I don't think I'll buy it since Navfree is free, and hopefully they'll work out the bugs. The voices and UI on Sygic are much better.

Wish Google would let you download full maps!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] japester36:
Navfree USA has also now been made available on the normal Android Market. Search for "Navfree USA".

Looks like we can all use it now.

I second the question about lock time without any assistance data, has anyone tried? (does anyone know what the GPS chipset is too).

Re. offline maps: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/download-map-area-added-to-labs-in.html. Navigation won't work of course, and I guess that's the problem here.

Also can one not tether the Player to your mobile using e.g. BT and use the data connection on that?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] tcat007:
I got a "US" option downloading through Samsung Apps; I got an individual state option downloading from the Market (so I went with Texas). Odd I don't see a Sygic-USA at the Market today (I downloaded it last week). The USA option was a 2gb file, Texas was only 600mb.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] njguyc:
Navfree vs Sygic

I have both on my YP-G70. Navfree has almost up-to-date map but navigation is crapy (ok, you arrive your destination after long round way :mad:) and without wifi connection you cannot enter a new addr.

Navigation of Sygic is good, however map is not as new as Navfree. That's the reason why I kept both on my device.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jhndflpp:
does anyone [else] have any new opinions on this?

i'd like to start using my sgp as a gps unit and get rid of my garmin. i tried using the pre-caching option on google maps, but it must not pre-cache them at any normal zoom level because i only get the blurriest outlines of streets when i'm "navigating."

sygic looks nice and isn't too terribly expensive (usa looks to be about $20 usd on their website). copilot usa looks to be only $10. has navfree gotten any updates to make it competitive with dedicated gps units? or are there any others that seem to work pretty well?

and i assume all of these programs store their maps on the sd card [or can]? i don't really want to take up my 8gb's when i've got 14 still free on my sd card after i've loaded all my mp3's and whatnot.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cvcduty:
I use CoPilot... it's offline GPS app for android.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WT Ho:
I use Sygic on my device. It works great without data connection. Once you install it, you will see 2 apps in your app drawer. One is a map downloader and the other is the main app.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
OsmAnd is good for viewing maps offline, however its offline routing algorithm SUCKS.

I've heard good things about Locus - but I don't know how well its offline routing works.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] heat361:
My GPS on navfree says poor GPS any way i can fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] tcat007:
Anyone tried http://www.appbrain.com/app/locus-free/menion.android.locus It looks much nicer than Navfree, and appears to do Nav in the PRO version, which is cheap. Going to play with the free version.

Poor GPS? Are you outdoors? If you're outside you should see at least 8 sats. Try GPS Test. Navfree has a GPS box to check (as well as you have to turn on GPS manually).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
I haven't tried it myself yet, but at least one person in VillainROM IRC (a Galaxy S II channel) really likes it. I'm seriously considering it myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kekx:
Im using osmand and its working like a charm. You can download every map for free, only the program itself costs a few bucks. Its the official app from openstreetmaps.org.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] njguyc:
Sygic updated to 11.2.5, best navigation ever! You can download from IPmart forum. I've dropped all other navigation apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kiwijunglist:
I have navigon, sygic, copilot installed. I prefer copilot. You can also use offline caching in google maps, just enable it under "labs".
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] tcat007:
Is IPmart a trusted "legit" site? I also like Sygic, but didn't want to buy the maps, since I find Navfree "adequate" for my use.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] njguyc:
Yes or no ?;)

Maybe navigation of Navfree functioning well in your place, but definitely didn't do a good job here though their map is quite up-to-date.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dirty.redz:
I am using copilot live premium us on my wife's galaxy player 5.0 it works in my opinion better than navigon (which wouldn't. even come on without a Wi-Fi connection ). copilots map download for the entire southern us is under 500mb
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
I was not happy with OsmAnd's offline routing capabilities - other than that it's great.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jhndflpp:
i used sygic for its free week trial and here are my thoughts:

maps are beautiful with lots of 3d elements - mountains, buildings, etc.

navigation is good. it has the standard problem with routing that all gps's [i've ever used] has, in that if it doesn't know the speed limit, it's going to assume the shortest route is the fastest route. once it sent me through a residential area with a million speed bumps instead of a slightly longer way on a main street. but it finds satellites very fast and is very quick to recalculate routes.

has a lot of nice features. speed limits with warnings, lane assist, tts with many voices, lots of poi's; nearly all are customizable as well. real time traffic is a paid upgrade and doesn't exist for the u.s.

maps are... okay. i noticed speed limits are years old, as well as it's knowledge of the number of lanes (for lane assist). this is kind of a big thing in my mind - you're paying for the maps and they advertise free map updates, but if there is years between updates (or if their "updates" are not up-to-date), that's not too helpful.

maps are not downloaded to your external sd card by default, nor is it an option in the application. there is a support discussion on their website about ways to do it, but it doesn't seem to work for every device. i didn't try it before my trial ran out, so i don't know about ours.

price is okay at around 20 usd for the entire united states (still way cheaper than a garmin update), but there are a lot of others around that are cheaper.

kiwijunglist - i tried pre-caching maps in google maps, but it doesn't seem to cache at all zoom levels (or something didn't work) because i only got the faintest outline of main roads i was driving on. i can only get google maps to work well while online. you said you prefer copilot to sygic - can you explain why?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mvbil:

[Motorola Droid 3] captainwtf:
Alright, So I'm looking to help a friend get to the point where they can plug in their Droid 3 and it actually work.

Have plugged into every USB port, have installed the drivers Verizon reccomends installing for the device.

Basically we called up Verizon, and requested to get a actual OEM/Motorla cable. They sent a actual Motorola cable. Still doesn't work.

From what I understand the device has only been detected ONCE, and it was unsuccessful at finding drivers, now when you plug it in it doesn't even try to look for drivers. It just charges. gives you no options to mount or anything.

I've shot in and uninstalled alot of the drivers so it would cause it to re-detect and that attempt was unsuccessful as well. Uninstalled the Motorola driver application and did the same thing over, Uninstalled the USB drivers. Still nothing.

The device does run the most current version of Android, It is running stock. any clues?
[Motorola Droid 3] jellman:
perhaps try to manually install the drivers control panel/hardware/devices an printers
[Motorola Droid 3] joshpersaud:
Have you checked the actual setting for the usb connection itself? Is it on charge only mode? Try a different computer if you can, if not, see if you can change the setting for when you first plug it into a computer, you should get the options of pc mode, charge only, media sync, and hard disk.
[Motorola Droid 3] captainwtf:
Jell - I'll shoot in and give that a shot if I can see if I can, Is i'll check for a driver package on the forums I guess see if anyone has one

Josh -- Not sure how to actually set the setting for the usb connection rather then when you plug it in and it asks for you to set it.

You plug it in and it charges, Doesn't ask what mode you want to put it in. Its like you're plugging it into a charger.
[Motorola Droid 3] remotod3:
I have the same problem with connecting. My phone isn't recognizing that its plugged into a computer, it thinks it is plugged into a wall charger. It would be nice to know if anyone have figure this problem out.

I tried with a space, but no luck. I think it has to do with the fact that it is a samsung app and I'm guessing it's programmed to show up on market with TouchWiz. I'm not running TouchWiz. And from what I recall, when I was on UnNamed, it used TouchWiz I think.

Any thoughts? Is there a way to force Market to show all apps, regardless of what device is being used?

I do not. Installs and opens fine, just checked again. And market reports it is up to date.

From looking at where you normally post I'm guessing you have a tmobile sgsii. There's a number of hardware differences between the tmobile version and the at&t version and that maybe a reason it's not working for you. If your phone came with media hub you'll be better off asking on your phone's forum. If it didn't come with media hub there's a good chance you won't be able to install it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Flashed turkbey rom and media hub wouldn't show up in the market for me. The apk I uploaded wouldn't work either.

The most success I had was from my titanium backup of it. The only reason titanium backup was able to backup it up was because I had removed it from /system/app and installed it normally so astro file manager could back it up and I could then post it here.

Categories won't open for some reason and most tv shows don't give the option to purchase.

So here's my titanium backup of it. I haven't purchased anything with it so I don't know if purchased content will play. But previews play no problem and I can log into my account.

Let me know if it works for anyone having this problem, or even better, if someone figured out a better fix.

Hi Guys,

I have an XV6700 that is no longer in cell-phone service. Been using it very infrequently via wifi to test my stuff for WinME. (Androids are what I mostly use now....), and as a music player.

The reason that I stopped using it was that the USB connector on the bottom got flaky for usb connections and finally doesn't work at all. Have to use the charge cradle to swap out my standard and hi-cap batteries. Use Wifi or BT or even the microSD to get stuff on and off it.

So, do I have 1. a P.I.T.A. music player or

2. something to get to a PPC6700 hardware modder

3. a repairable handset

4. or ???? :confused:
