xD Who is the best
u mean which is the best.....

Navigon
Navigon works fine I think.

Ndrive is alright. Froze up once but I think it was due to the phone overheating whilst sitting on the dash in my car.

what version are you using ?
cause mine freezes all the time, untill i disabled autorotation

I will test mine (Ndrive) this weekend, so I will report if it is common. I have an UK generic 2.1 unbranded.

How do you disable auto rotation?

Google's Navigation is awesome, and it's still in beta

Navigon
Definitely Navigon. Never seen a more flawless piece of GPS software and I've tried TomTom, Route66, Autoroute, Ovi Maps and many others.

You said Google & Sygic when OFFLINE - Google doesnt really work offline, only on cached tiles.

Waze gets my thumbs up, and google navigation is up there also.

Seems to work well and it is free version which if you want you can upgrade to 2.99 a month.
Will personally test tomorrow driving.

Went on a 30 minute drive and it worked flawlessly. The telenav app is more like a garmin or tomtom type program... not look google navigation.
Things are much bigger on the screen and the thing just keeps talking and talking...
but i am liking it
Are the maps stored to your phone, or is it online like google maps?

Just downloaded and it seems like the maps are still online on google maps.
Ok thanks.
Just tried it. Works great on my stock 2.2 .

Loving this app. I like google maps, but this seems a bit more repsponsive. I had Telenav loaded on my Streak, and Google Navigation loaded on my wife's streak, and side by side, Telenav out performed Google Navigation while heading to the same destination.
Great find! Thanks!
This might make it a little faster

Stock 2.2 Mine wouldn't let me install it because it isn't from the app store

facebook app force closes

I updated the app a couple nights ago and now it wont open and load anything, it hangs and then force closes everytime. I've uninstallled and reinstalled and it will allow me to login and it will work fine right up until I close the app and reopen it.
Any thoughts?
Had the same problem. I ended up reverting to the previous version with a backup.
Crashes for me too. I also went to a backup. Not sure what is that last version to work. My backup was from a month ago.
Mine too on CM7 Nightly 177 booting off an SD card. Hopefully they can get it fixed.
Have you fixed permissions? It runs fine for me,not a fan of it but it works.

Seems like the app is crashing when it tries to find your location using the (non-existant) GPS. Is there some way to inject a fake GPS position?
Install tetherGPS lite and start the client, it spoofs the app into thinking there is a GPS signal. Recent check ins load fine with this fix.

Why would you post this?
As of nightly 212, there is no built-in ability to fake GPS. This was never any mention of that ability on any changelog, and it certainly wasn't sneaked in or anything.
Facebook still attempts to access GPS and force-closes as of nightly 212 / October 6th (I'm guessing it is an incorrect or simply unhandled exception. Facebook for both Android and iOS are famous for having terrible programmers).
A fake GPS program is still required to use Facebook.
The Facebook app goes from bad to worse. Uninstalled.
Is there any other fix that doesn't require me to start the gps client every time before wanting to use facebook? What is the latest version of facebook I can get that will function fine without a silly work around? 1.6.?

[Q] How to Enable Navigation which doesnt Support some Countries

hello,
I from India (Pune) i have Samsung galaxy ace S5830 overall cell is good.
But my question is why does Navigation app doesnt work in India. When i start that app after loading for few sec i get a message saying "Google Navigation is not available in your location" i have seen in many sites for solution on this bt couldnt Find any ,I got 1 soln bt it requires Rooting of cell which i dont want to do
So can anybody plzz tell me if there is any free app or any other trick that will make this app work in India.
Download brut maps... it supports navigation in places which are not supported by google maps navigation..
Downlaod it here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=867994&d=1327264439
I have a version that can save the maps, and can read it without net conection.but I don't know how to give it to you.

Its a request to everyone that while giving a soln ,specify it properly that whether the so and so app or trick requires Rooting of cell or not ,because i have clearly specified that i want a Soln without Rooting.

An Ace without root is half an Ace... To enjoy full functionality of the Android platform, the phone needs to be rooted. You can always unroot at any time safely.
I use sygic for navigation in India... It is far better than Google maps... Worth every rupee and more.

K I have seen review of sygeic it seems good bt after I downloaded the setup it says " need to download data which is big as so requires Wifi connection ",now my problem is I dont have wifi connection bt I do use 3G ,bt still it says need wifi to download data, so can u plzz tell me soln or this or any other alternative app which is good as sygeic and supports navigation without internet for india....
Apart from Sygic, i am not aware of any navi app utilizing gps only navigation. Basically, any navi app would need to download mapping data upon initial installation. That is how the app would not require internet to navigate... With sygic, it is a one time download of 350 mb, u can try downloading from 3g.

You can use Navfree for offline navigation. The app is free also!

Navigation works only in mumbai and bangalore, not in the rest of the cities. Due to "security reasons" Indian government doesn't allow it. Now dont ask me why its available in bangalore and mumbai as they are also part of India, I aint got a clue man. The government of this country is screwed up. But yeah only mumbai and bangalore

[Q] Navigation?

Hey all,was wondering what (offline - no mob.data connection,only GPS) navigation can you reccomend ? but it has to run on ICS
I believe Google works on wifi. There isn't a navigation tool that doesn't need wifi or mobile data.

How about the standard "stock" app Navigation?
Reccomend Sygic Aura or Navigon - seems like the best ones I've tried
Google's built-in navigation works great. If you want an offline navigation app I'd suggest navigon. Also TomTom seems to be releasing an android version later this year.
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
I've also used sygic aura a while. Imho it's biggest flaw is if you go off route it desperately tries to get you back on the original route instead of calculating a new route.

CoPilot is very good as well :good:

Have u tried NavFree..... i think its great for offline , only drawback is you have to serach and set routes online and then all fine... turn by turn nav etc

I agree. Its calculating different route, but indeed often tries to get you back to original route.
