Root Navigation in Canada?

[elninost0rm]

Possible to use the GPS to navigate in Canada (even without data?)

With root, of course. I figured someone would have enabled this somewhere down the line. Thanks!

I just took a trip to Montreal and even though I had data, I extended my plan temporarily, Nav did not work in Canada.

Thanks for the reply.

I know it doesn't work on vanilla, but I've heard that there are rooted fixes that enable it. Not sure, though.

Copilot+North America Map Works offline too.

Did they ever fix the landscape bug on the Droid?

Yeah, I saw that.. Installed it. WAs able to navigate to a Toronto suburb successfully, but it doesn't give road names and supposedly doesn't talk. Useful anyway, I guess, if it does track you and such.

..... I was using Cyanogen when I made the trip... so it doesn't work on a rooted phone either... and i haven't heard of a way to enable it as of yet... other that the xda hack posted here.

Nix the copilot idea.. I can't even get it to download the maps.
