I do alot of off road where there is no wifi or 3g/4g. I need a nice app where I can download sat images and maybe even layer them with terrain. I won't be able to download on the road nor the trail. I tryed to use "maps". But I couldn't seem to get the maps. I always know where in goin(area) the next day. So I can download them ahead of time... I tried a couple diff apps. But most where paved roads. Nothing with sat. Memory space is not a problem. Planing on doing a seperate SD card just for this. Any help will be great. Thank you.

[Acer Iconia A500] jt41time:
i played with that one before. Its nice for sure. But I can't get it to give me roads too. I want Google maps to work offline. That would be great.
[Acer Iconia A500] dcohio:
You should be able to cache Google Maps offline. I believe it is a Beta labs feature for maps where you can designate an area for offline use while you are still connected to a data network.
[Acer Iconia A500] jt41time:
beta labs?
[Acer Iconia A500] ptgptg:
I think there are several off line GPS programs, including Waze and something called ZANavi. I think there are others as well, but if you search for offline GPS, there are quite a few, including Google's June 2011 announcement of offline maps, which has not apparently come to fruition yet.

good luck.
[Acer Iconia A500] bytemehard:
I dont think you can pre-cache the terrain or satellite overlay though. At least it doesnt work on mine.

oops I forgot the link http://www.gaiagps.com/

you can load maps from many locations I got it from amazon asdi said above.. Just tried to load it and it comes up..but i have no maps d/loaded
[Acer Iconia A500] bytemehard:
tile cache for google maps

Ive been playing around with the google maps some more......even though the pre-cached maps with terrain overlays doesnt work well I did discover a way to do it.

First go to the grounds area you want cached and choose the layer that works best for you.

Next zoom to your desired scale and the view will slowly come to focus. When it does it seems to automatically cache that tile area. Problem is you will have to slowly scroll to each section of the landscape you want cached pausing until in focus. Hopefully its not too large of an area. It does seem to work and stores the info even after restart.
[Acer Iconia A500] jt41time:
i have been caching tiles like you said all night.(in between my bf3 battles) It seems to keep them on there. i shut off wifi, and rebooted. still there. But for how long. I hope its there for good. i love that app.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ozark_8125:
Running fresh install 2.2 on captivate - I've spent the last several hours trying to find a way to sync the captivate with outlook... and nothing is coming up as a reliable & cheap way. I would have never thought that a modern(ish) phone would have issues syncing with outlook. Never had a problem from the old 8125 up to iphone 3gs... but thought I would check with y'all to see if anything less than $50 has come up that would do the trick. I've tried Kies/MyPhoneExplorer(didn't see outlook calendar data except holidays and recurring events). I don't want to mess with google calendars and I live by the calendars for scheduling business! Any recent developments I should look in to?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boumbles:
Android and Outlook have generally never been close friends. There are a few paid apps you can find that do a very good job of keeping your information in sync.

If your business uses exchange you can set up your exchange account in the e-mail app on your phone and it will allow you to sync you mail, calendar and contacts.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ozark_8125:
Unfortunately my work is my business of me, myself, and I - so I haven't popped for an exchange server, but the frustration is almost close enough to just look into getting one done :p - and I've had a hard time finding an ap that syncs outlook and respective contact fields properly with the phone. I understand it's a google vs. MS deal and so they don't want to make it an easy one.... but it's a stupid idea since it will just push people to use iPhone, IMO. For now, I've relented to having to clumsily use google sync and the google calendar program to sync between to two. I just hate having middlemen to have to do it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skramblr:
I use Kies 1.5.3.10093_80. I hear the newer versions are blocked from working with the captivate, but the older version works find for syncing w/outlook on my home system.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinaury:

Happened to me as well when i was first setting up my files and things .. trying to move all pics and stuff from my OG Droid SD card was taking FOREVER.

don't really know why. ended up sending everything to dropbox, then syncing to the Nexus...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Mainly because it's using MTP and not USB Mass Storage. But it should definitely not take 40 minutes to put a 1.5GB file onto your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bear55:
I had a terrible time trying to get my computer to recognize the Nexus as being connected at USB 2.0 speeds. All of my USB ports are 2.0 and I was using the stock Samsung cable too. It was just a matter of plugging and unplugging until it liked the connection. As the OP said USB mass storage is way faster. I am not happy with MTP personally.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MooreW:
I've been researching Tablets and i must be able to write notes with ease. I've read the best stylus is the Jot Pro which i've gone and purchased. I've also read that writing with a active digitizer is the best for taking hand notes.

i've yet to read about "active digitizer" in any of the specs for the TP so i was wondering how it would compair to a active digitizer screen? Also to what degree would it be better or worse?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goodintentions:
Trust me, if you put conductive grease in your jot ball, you won't see any difference between using that on the TF or TFP and a tablet with digitizer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Magnesus:
Active digitizer has pressure sensitivity. Although it can be... less precise than Adonit (because some active digitizers are innacurate when holded on different angles).

Unfortunetaly Transformer doesn't have one. Adonit was supposed to show active digitizer for all tablets on CES. I wonder what they will make.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MooreW:
Thanks. I ask because i was watching a video smackdown between the TFP vs. Motorola Droid XYBoard and she specifically made a point that Active Digitizer screens are better for note taking.

She did not mention how much better these screens are and with all the people here saying the Jot Pro is amazing with the TFP, it can't be that much better.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goodintentions:
I know what video you're talking about. Reviewers are not gods. They know a lot of official stuff, but they don't know **** about real life stuff. Most reviewers still say the ipad2 is much much much better than the tf. The tf has been out for how long? Most reviewers still criticize the tf keyboard for not being able to disable the touchpad. Hint, its a shortkey on top somewhere.

Reviewers are good at giving you first impressions. But they suck at telling you about real life applications.

If you'd rather put your trust in reviewers, then you should get a motor xyboard. I'm telling you from real life experience. You won't notice a difference.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MooreW:
Wonderful. I really didn't read to much into it. I watch/read to get a good overview per say. As someone with zero experience with tablets that is why i come here, to the people with them, to ask these questions not answered in these reviews.

Thanks again
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goodintentions:
Yeah, people tend to trust those with authority these days. Somewhere along the line, people lost their trust in real life experience.

Take my g/f's dad, for example. His win7 computer stopped animating the windows when he move them around. It bothered him so much that he called in a geek squad guy. The geek squad guy said there was nothing he could do but reinstall win7 OS. Wanted to charge him $200 for it. My g/f and I happened to walk in at the time. My g/f told her dad to let me try fixing it. He hesitated (because I wasn't a geek squad... and geek squad knows everything, right?), and said sure why not. It took me a whole 2 minutes to fix his problem. All I did was went into the windows animation settings and reset the damn thing.

Think about it. He came this close to paying $200 for a geek squad know-it-all to re-install windows for a settings problem.

To this day, I still write to reviewers every time they got something wrong. What's disappointing is after I've written my lengthy correction, they still get it wrong in their next review. The TF keyboard is a perfect example. Back in May, reviewers were all criticizing the TF keyboard for not having the option to disable the touchpad. I promptly wrote to every one of them informing them of the 4th button from the left top row. The same reviewers are now *****ing about the prime keyboard not having the option to disable the touchpad. It seems like these guys picked up the TF, xoom, or whatever, used it for a whole 5 minutes, and then declare themselves experts of all things tablets. It's effing annoying as hell reading their reviews. They get so many things wrong!

In addition, most of the tech industry have been taken over by apple fanboys. Take a look at the following article written just a few days ago.

http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/01/ces-tablets-redemption/all/1

Notice that the transformer was not mentioned at all in that article. Instead, the writer pointed to all the failed tablets (xoom, touchpad, etc.) declaring them to be the only examples of non-ipad tablets. As a matter of fact, even as the prime is being rolled out, reviewers continue to ignore the asus TF/TFP. Despite the fact that the TF is now the most successful android tablet, reviewers still want to pretend like it doesn't exist and that the game really is about between the ipad2 and the xoom.

But I guess I'm just a nobody and they are reviewers so they must know everything there is to know about these devices.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Its called ignorance :)

So about taking notes with a pen like the JotPro, is it cool? I mean would you guys go into a semi important meeting with just the prime and no paper? :)

And is there a note taking app that lets you rest your hand on the tablet in any way while writing (some dedicated space would be fine i guess)?

->nevermind this, just found that in another thread:

(5) Writepad stylus - note taking app with palm rejection, meaning you can rest your hand on the screen and still be able to write. Can save your notes as pdf docs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
Had the jot pro, disliked it enough that I returned it this morning. Half of the time it missed the lines I was writing. I switched to a targus and it works much better. I think the JOt Pro has such a small surface that it just lost connectivity with the screen. I tested it on a screen with no protection on it btw. It probably would have been worse with a screen protector.

I have not found a note taking app that does good with hand rejection. I just use the hover above method.

That being said, I do only take the Prime to meetings, no paper, and take notes all the time. Works great.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MooreW:
I Googled "conductive grease" and found around 20 different options on the first page of websites plus the dude at bestbuy never herd of it. If you could give me a link to a product to look for that would be fantastic. By chance do you have a screen protector on your tablet?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goodintentions:
(1) I just talked to the entire tablet department of bestbuy and none of them knew the tegra 3 had a 5th core.

(2) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BODU66/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details

(3) I don't use a screen protector. Been using it since may. Not a single scratch on my screen. And I don't even have a sleeve for it.
