This is probably old news but just in case anybody have missed that google maps 4.1 for windows mobile is released, check it out at http://m.google.com with your mobile browser...
I've just installed it and it includes voice search
Not old news at all! Thanks!
AWSOME...i hated driving around trying to type crap in. Much appreciated for showing me this.
Just as an FYI voice does work despite what it says here.

Thanks for the info btw
sweet! just installed and it works quite well! thanks for the heads up
It doesn't support french voice, damn.
Google Maps with Voice
Thanks for a great tip! Unfortunately, when I try to use the voice it kicks me out of Google Maps.
works perfectly here.
haha, awesome! works perfect on the HD2
Thanks! It's working great .
Thank you!...navigation is next
thanks very nice update
but problem is hardware compass now does not work with google maps in this version.
In pevious versions if GPS was set manually the compass would function correctly, but now this is not a true statement.

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows why I can't use google navigation (in Belgium)?
Also there seem to be no good gps softwares on the arket for legend.
I can't drive my car WATCHING google maps 'my location' without clear directions/spoken.
Any advise appreciated!
Another thing that is not possible is voice recognition, hos is it possible that HTC decided to block this on Legend? Unbelievable!
Thanks!
Navigon, Sygic, iGo... pretty good imo
try CoPilot.. it´s not free but close TomTom. maps are available for almost everywhere
I am using NDrive
I bought iGo and I must say, its pretty good, its fast, it fixes the position in seconds and I just love it
I was hoping that by the time Ill by my Legend, there will be tom tom for android, but theres not ... so
best one for me is the sygic, very similar to tomtom and very reliable.

Because Google didn't enable it yet for Belgium (it's only available in US & UK).
You could always install Brut's hacked Google Maps, which enables Google Nav for unsupported countries ;-)
sygic is the best!
Navigon
I have a very good experience with Navigon for Android.

Well, I did install a "workarounded" maps found somewher on this forum, and apart from the fact that it unexpectedly did a total makeover of my phone, it only is another way to find out that Google Maps is not supported in BeNeLux.
You can choose routing, only to get a message from google that maps is not (yet) supported for my region.
Presumably routing needs additional data from google or they found a way to block access again.
I guess the latter, as I tried to travel around in the US with the same result.
I had the exact same problems (also got belgium HTC Legend without voice recognation and navigation) BUT: you can get it working farly easy.
Here is a link to the google navigation BRUT mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887
Brut.all made the google navigation work everywhere even in Belgium.
And since 18/05 it even has voice guidance.
For the Voice recognation (Voice Search) I've uploaded the one that works for me on megaupload: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AV5QM1CZ
If that doesn't work try searching google for voice search apk. I've tried at least 10 since I found one that wasn't giving me an error.
I'm using Navigon and I'm really happy with that..
copilot
I didnt think irealand was big enough to warrant a satnav (jus kidin) i am using copilot cracked iff anyone wants the apk file pm me i find it by far the best one around i have tried most.All you need is the apk once installed it dloads current maps automatically and also speed cameras.
iGo is great.

I'm pretty sure I've already posted this, but I can't find it, so I'm posting again.
So I installed sygic, but it won't load any maps even though they are in the right directory "/Maps/xxx/xxx.pak".
I also tried "/maps/xxx/xxx.pak" and "/maps/xxx.pak", but ut doesn't work.
Anyone's got a solution for this ?
nobody ? __
when using the correct *.mlm file it should work *.mlm file is in maps folder...
you better could look here for more info and how to's

Hey..
Since, Google Navigation doesn't work here in India, I was wondering if there's any Sat Nav app, for India, available to download in the Android Market.
I use LG Optimus One by the way!
anyone help, please??
Try Aura on Market.

NDrive
Use NDrive which should be pre-installed, mine had it and works like charm...
Thanks guys for your reply!
@patil: I tried using NDrive but it would always hang, I don't know why!
I would definitely try Aura.
Google navigation in India
Does work. Get Maps (but)
Google navigation
Sorry. Should be Maps (brut) Go to options brut. Select international navigation.
I use Navitel with maps ported from Garmin in pakistan. Works like a charm. if you can find maps. i think navitel uses navteq maps which garmin also uses. and navteq also provides maps for india, so google for it. i'm sure you'll come up with something good.
God helps those who help themselves.

Satnav for India
Please use "WAZE" . it is using the Satnav maps in background. It is very good. It works without any issue.
Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums
Moving to Q&A
I use brut.all google maps non rooted version and it works great here in India .
Would like to try out Waze but I guess the real time traffic updates are limited to metros where more people share traffic updates.
Still a good concept though !!
Hey,
What is the best gps software for hero and with what ROM do you use it??
I am looking for an offline map gps software with eastern europe maps avalaible.
CoPilot is excellent.
TomTom is coming soon as well.

i think google is working on offline maps for the next versions to come so
just wait a while longer..
i guess it will be free of charge
grtz,

I'm using osmand. You can dl all OSM (Open Street Map) Maps and use them without internet connection. Tracking is also possible.
I like Navitel
Try NDrive, it's very good,
I like waze
It is a social gps app. You need data connection to use it though
I like IGo, it is maps on your SD! very nice..
well i personaly recomend NDrive. portuguese made \m/
its very light and on standard gps equipments, its the only rival to tomtom.
kudos
CoPilot v9 by a long shot!
I recommend NDrive too... But, my opinion is kinda biased...

Hi
I will be traveling to MA next week and I would like to know which app is better for navigation in MA and in the US in general.
Don't forget i'm a tourist so I would prefer using the most accurate app.
Thanks !
Alon.
I've always been a Google Maps guy. But you can try both. I've also heard good things about Scout. I think Google Maps works great in Mass.
Is offline voice recognition available on the truesmart? im not always on the internet so voice typing doesnt work keeps saying google servers cant be reached since the device is offline. Tried going to the google settings to allow for offline recognition but its not an option like it usually is on other devices. found one thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549644 but not sure if it will work on this device.
Tried searching forum couldnt find anything specific to the truesmart and offline detection.

Same with any android at the minute, you need to set the ts language to English (US).

I couldn't get them to download it's missing from Google search settings

its already set to english us still doesnt work if im offline.
Just flashed Kuronosan' rom last night and reinstalled everything and it's still working ok here, you've downloaded the us offline language pack? One thing I did have to do before being able to make a call with Google voice is agree to Google now, just tick the box and it started working.
