Only just moved over from Nokia to Android >The big thing I regret and miss is Ovi Maps
It was a excellent off line gps map software with find and navigate functions

Surly there is something Similar for the Android System I have sent all week searching and trying different ones::(:(
I will not want to use data just use GPS and download the maps via Internet or free wi-fi to the SD card It is mainly search streets and on foot in cities and countryside in UK and Europe


1) Skobbler
Only works if you have a data connection as maps are not street if you use the downloaded maps you have no search or navigate ???

2) Navit
Rubbish could not get to find streets and locks up and is slow

3) Mapdroyd
Excellent maps and on sd but can only show were you are and has no search
Anybody any ideas or found a good one even a pay one but must have foot and street maps

4) Sygic
This seems to get good reviews but seem more for cars and the cost is 30 euros !!!!!!!

Please help !!!!
 
gonna move this to Android Lounge to see if you can get more general responses. I too am extremely interested in this!
 
A low-cost nav app is 'NavDroyd' :)
It has the same maps as MapDroyd and the same dev.

Thanks wondered what had hapened ! The more the merrier if we get a result i have spent all week on trawling the net but nothing seems to match Ovi My phone was not even a smart phone just a 7230 with maps. i may have to go back to it when out


PS How do i see the post in lounge
 
Ovi Maps was amazing. I used it all the time on my SE when I didn't have data. I have unlimited data now so Google Maps is a fine replacement (it's pretty much exactly the same thing), but I can feel your pain. I don't understand why Google doesn't just make an offline version of its service.

It does not? I did take it because I have MapDroyd and saw in the discription of NavDroid as maps vector OpenStreetMaps, the same maps MapDroyd uses.

I don't use NavDroid because I have versions from Navigion (now a Garmin company) and CoPilot from my older phones.

Both are excellently nav app (for pedestrians too) but not low-cost ;)
