From this thread I have full working version of Copilot on my 2.2 SteveHyde 1.6.1 Dell Streak with UK and USA Maps :D
[Android General] carhigh:
The maps where from Garmin and worked with Garmin mobile xt. I had to switch maps I used by renaming them since Garmin could only use one map set at a time. It was lake depths and so on. Very neat for fishing.

Not sure, if I caught it: Did you find a way how to use original Garmin maps on Android?
[Android General] Mui9:
As I also had HTC Desire HD Andriod phone.

I was using HTC HD2, and NOKIA N95 8GB before with Garmin with Australia map.

now I really need Garmin for my new Andriod.

As I say Garmin is the best software for navigation

Please tell me how can I use Garmin in my new Andriod phone?
[Android General] angusc:
Currently not possible as with windows mobile that is until either Garmin release a version for the general Android market or someone hacks Garmins Android phone version.

Do you have Root on your Garmin Phone and do you care to try it?

I'm using a Garminasus A10 with 2.1-update.

Few things to remind:

Garmin software won't work with 2.2 and above. That's why they dont provide Froyo update. Damn.

There are 2 services called "Garmin online something" running on my phone, and a lot of garmin pieces when I use Titanium to browse.

I will upload those files soon, but I doubt it can work on other phones.
[Android General] afoster1003:
Yes ive got root ive made a backup of every app 30 mb worth .. i can get into recovery and have options but cant select anything?? amy ideas
[Android General] Buddha:
Can't wait for use this! :)
[Android General] Asphyx:
Doesn't say which app is not installed I guess.

If the android Garmin works anything like the old XT did then the sdcard the maps are kept on will have a DeviceID and will not work if simply copied to another.

So anyone trying the backup option will have to make sure to use the same card that came with the Garminphone. Just to be sure that isn't still being used in some way.

I really hope I can get a working garmin on my D2G. The co-pilot is so bad it won't even let me enter my own address! Thats about the only program I miss from my WM TP

Someone tested this garmap ?

I googled for "garmap site:garmin.com" and looks like an official garmin product.

Maybe best way is take trial version, and force it to use garmin maps from sd card ???

"Maybe best way is take trial version, and force it to use garmin maps from sd card ???"

I have trial version garmap but this programm working only online. I don't have any idea to turn on map from SD card
[Android General] gamboaecr:
According to Garmin.com, Garmap is a map developer in South Africa which makes Garmin compatible maps.

Based on that, apparently there's no link between both companies.

You can see it here: http://www.garmin.com/garmin/cms/us/maps/mpcpage#South Africa
[Android General] _Pablo_:
I made really quick research...

according to your link I still think it's big company, and

garmap can be good app.

The question is how to hack this app in order to use maps from sdcard.

_Maybe_ edit host file same way as adfree do it,

and write own app which will serve maps to garmap ???
[Android General] ajape:
The actual problem is that there are two version of this program, and the one that can be downloaded from the link provided in the last page is NOT the one we need. After all, all this is about having access to our Garmin maps WITHOUT having to have a full time internet or 3G connection, otherwise why even bother with anything beyond google maps?

Anyways, I digress, there are two versions of this program: Garmap Online and Garmap Onboard. The one we all need is Garmpa Onboard for android, that's the version that reads your maps from a folder in your SD card, the one in the link posted in this thread is not... well, completely useless I guess, but it's still a far, far thing from what we're all trying to achieve here, which is to access our Garmin maps in our Android phones.

Anyways, here's the info about Garmap Onboard app that we need:

Description:

Garmap for Mobile Onboard has no reliance on network coverage, making life simpler and more convenient.

With Onboard navigation users enjoy:

- Turn-by-turn voice prompts

- 2D/3D city map views

- POI dialing

- FREE safety camera alerts

- Preloaded maps

- Optimal itinerary planning with waypoints

- Network independent allowing easy travel across borders

***ADVANCED ROUTE PLANNING***

Plan your route using Garmap’s advanced ‘Itinerary’ option and optimse your route to save time and fuel.
[Android General] _Pablo_:
I prefer open maps, it is an answer.

for my country is really good map called UMP pc_pl, I heard about really good open maps for another countries too.

Why open maps, are better?

Same reason, as Open Source is better :-)

Hmm.... Maybe I send an e-mail to garmap, and ask about buy garmap, but only app (no maps)
[Android General] ajape:
If what you prefer are the maps from Openstreetmaps, then you have your problem already solved and already have no more need for further suffering here like the rest of us :) Here:

Ump, (my favorite map) isn't OSM map.... Unfortunately UMP is compiled into garmin map format, so I'm still interested in android app which can navigate on garmin maps.

In Poland a lot of OSM content is imported from UMP. In other countries a lot of UMP content is imported from OSM, but still there are two different maps.

Anyone heard anything about Garmin possibly releasing an Android app soon? A friend emailed me saying this, but didn't actually provide me with a source for his information... :(
[Android General] rastadoof:
When they released the iPhone App, in the press release they mentioned development for Android generally. However no timeframe was given.
[Android General] Asphyx:
They did but they were referring to the Garmin Tracker not the Navigation software.

If you look you will see that Garmin Tracker is already available in the Market.

But all that does is track one of their tracker devices not where the phone itself is.

It is not navigation software merely a way to track a seperatly sold GPS tracking device.
[Android General] lhoaq:

if you did some reasearch you would realize that the garmin on the asus phones is not an app but multiple apps and system processes integrated into a cusom version of android.. so porting will most likely not be possible.. i have an early version of the phone s/w .
[Android General] Asphyx:
It may not be portable as an App but it should be portable as a ROM.

My guess would be that it would require a custom Kernel flash though.

And the problem would be even if someone accomplished that it would be ripped down for copyright infringement.

This looked promissing, but than I have noticed small (well not so small) letters: Garmap for Mobile Online is a complete navigation offering for GPS-capable phones. As an online solution it automatically delivers the latest map data direct to your handset.

So ON LINE - we need maps on a device, when there is no coverage, or when roaming charges... Same blah blah about latest data like for Blackberry and Iphone.

Anybody has an idea how to put offline maps for this Garmin version (some cash location or so)?
[Android General] Fenyo1:
Hey guys!

I don't know who knows and who's not, but the fact is:

ASUS has exclusive rights of Garmin on Android.

From Asus Mobile General Manager Benson Lin:

"We are moving from a co-brand to a brand cooperation, and we will use Garmin’s solutions in our new Android phones exclusively for a couple of years."

-SOURCE

Couple of years... :( (3-4 years?)

So you guys are the only chance to get a working Garmin for Android in the near future.

Could anyone tell me what is the current situation about hacking out from a Garmin-Asus phone?

What is the current obstacle which we/you have to eliminate?

BTW, i have an idea: What about making the necessary libraries for Garmin Mobile XT, so it could run on Android? (it's for ARM too, just the API calls have to be implemented for Android environment)
[Android General] BuzzFuzz:
What about Copilot.

So far i have found every village, street...
[Android General] Asphyx:
I have CoPilot but it is really only a shadow of what the garmin product is.

It also required a entry in the search box that doesn't show up on the select listings to find my own house #. Granted I'm Rural but I should be able to put in a zip, select the street and enter the house number. I have to type in NY55 instead of the listed Hway 55 and that makes no sense.

As for porting Garmin to standard android you can pretty much forget about it.

I'm sure it is written with the hardware specifics in mind and even if it was a launcher integration that launcher itself probably needs specific hardware as well!

and when all is said and done EVEN if it were possible and someone did it. No way this thread would last past the EUREKA moment because it would be a pirated piece of software conversation and against the site TOS!
[Android General] Fenyo1:
I don't think Garmin Mobile XT 5.0 is specific to any hardware.

There is pirated piece of software conversation on this forum already.

But if it's a real problem, then post it on somewhere else. People will find it. :)
[Android General] Asphyx:
This thread is not about Garmin XT it is about porting the files from the Garmin Android phone to be usable on other android devices.
[Android General] Fenyo1:
Yeah, i know, i've just raised an idea about porting Garmin Mobile XT to Android by implementing the Windows Mobile API to Android. (only the parts that GMXT uses)
[Android General] ajape:
I disagree. I don't personally care about HOW we reach the desired end results, as long as I can navigate my Garmin maps when we reach the end of this road.

Gamin only complete navigation suite

Garmin Mobile is the only navigation package which have Roadmaps, Topography maps and Marine maps, in other words the only complete navigation package.

Also, the pc software is fantastic in letting you choose which parts of map to use etc, and lets you easily save routes, waypoints, personal poi for later use etc.

There may be other better roadmap navigation suites (tomtom / navigon), but my dream would be to be able to have Garmin on my Android device.

I would buy it instantly if/when available.

I just brows around and now I remember why did I hesitate to buy a normal android phone. Because there was no garmin, but my old s.e x1 died and had to get one so it was Desire HD. Tried all the navigation software, but can't seem to get use with it plus I don't even know how to put a poi for the build in navigation software lol.

So is this thread is pretty much dead till Garmin Officially offer a official Android application? :(

Yeah I think so, I used to be a big gaemin user with wm6 but you and I AND Garmin know why ;-)

routing within two nm2 files

Hi im from Sri Lanka and I have two .nm2 file of my country. they can not be combined because of the 16MB limitation of NaviTel nm2 files :(

both my nm2 files have routing enabled and they are just working great but I have a little problem.

if I create a route withing two cities which is on same nm2 (lets say Map file A) file, it works fine turn by turn.

but if I create a route within two cities of two nm2 files (City X from Map file A to City Y of Map file B) it just shows the straight line between two cities.

please somebody help me to solve this. I need it so badly :(

tnx
[Android General] ajape:
Well, for now it just seems as all we have to do is wait for IFA on September first to see what exactly Garmin will be presenting for the Android and Iphone platforms now that their acquisition of Navigon has been completed.
[Android General] vajee555:
please give a solution to my problem above if possible. thank you :D
[Android General] ajape:
Well, this thread is really about Garmin on Android, it has nothing whatsoever to do with your question, or software support for any apps, or anything other that Garmin on Android actually.

But what comes to mind about your question is this: combine the maps on mapedit, then re-select and save the smallest possible area that would still include the two cities you want to travel between, and leave out the other areas that would make the map larger than 16mb.
[Android General] punshkin:
Why don't you use google maps? It leaves nothing to be desired or am I missing a point?
[Android General] ajape:
Two reasons, actually. First and most important, it doesn't work without a full time internet access plan, so unlike with Garmin, if you're not rich you won't be able to use it since you can't use offline maps off of your SD card with GMaps. And second is that there are only a small amount, very few and select rich countries in which turn-by-turn guided navigation works on GMaps. For the vast majority of the planet, it's not available.
[Android General] angusc:
You guys need to search for the ONWHERE version of Google Maps as this one caches maps for OFFLINE use.
