Can the maps be downloaded on Galaxy s2 other than Google maps? Please suggest the best app.
Search the Market. Lots of navigation apps at varying prices there. Most store the maps locally on the phone so you don't need to have phone coverage in order to use them.

it so i can install it in my tattoo?

It's not a free application, you have to buy it. Also, you can google for cracked version

Hi there, does any body know of an app for gps navigation and maps that doesn't need data to work. Useful if you got lost without coverage.
Thanks

I use Google Maps, it's storing maps in automatic since a few updates ago.
If you have cached at least the zone you're in with most levels of zoom you won't have any problem.
If not Maverick and Atlas (for pc, to create and store maps) is a valid alternative
If you were asking for a way to find your position withouth having a map cached in your sd and withouth data connection, i think you won't find any application able to do so.
i use navdroyd or mapdroyd, the former has routing while the latter has none
OruxMaps can use offline maps. I use finnish maps from retkikartta.fi but those are probably useless to you.
Thanks for all the replies. Will try each one and see which works
For me

NDrive works fine.
I use it a lot!
There's a lot of links at Google which guide you to install and use that.
The new update of Google maps 6.7.0 denies you to save cached areas for offline viewing. It's a common problem and many users report of the message "Not available" when they try to save an area for offline viewing.
The solution:
So solve the "Not Available" problem in Google Maps (Android), you simply download the older version, 6.6.0 from this place and installs it.
good stuff man, i dont really like this new feature of the gmaps thingie... will keep this version for a bit.
by doing a brief research i can find many people with the same issue, and we are talking about major urban areas.
sometimes google does something really cool but with some very stupid mistakes, wonder why....cheers
Nyc, also wondering if it possible to save bigger areas of the map.
Well I'm on 6.9.0 in the UK and I can save for offline. You might want to upgrade to this version.

Ditto here. SatNav also works fine even with internet switched off.

Ditto for me but save does not work even after clearing existing pre cached areas.
Its actually missing in the menu where it once was .

The off-line caching has been moved from the labs settings .
Later versions
now turn cache on via settings .
Go to map location Menu Make available offline Select area = new off-line map
So instead of hitting the address and opening a search bar that includes Off Line cache this area . It is now in the menu settings .

Offline maps are not available in Malaysia too.
I'm using offline maps in Bangladesh. Works great. Up to 29mb per block which pretty much covers Dhaka city. On latest map

When you're off Wi-Fi or 3G/4G, you'll have 'OFFLINE LIST' below the map.
For me, 6.12.0 sometimes shows this 'Not Available' and sometimes fails to completely download a map, but deleting the unfinished download and restarting the application seems to fix it.
P.S. Came here from Google and just now saw that this topic is in the S III forum - well, I don't think this issue is specific to it - it also manifests on my Galaxy Nexus.
No good in Korea
I am in Seoul, and it does not work here. It works for other countries (US, Europe...) though.
I wonder is there something about Korea. Last year, there were zero games in Android market here, because of some local laws. It has been solved since.
you still have to deal with the offline maps getting seizures randomly during navigation. the only way is to quit nav and come back in otherwise it won't update location and start showing grey squares.....
no idea why it's an offline map issue only

I'm going to buying a Google Nexus 7 cose next month I'll go to Japan for one month and I need a device like this for many reasons.
Is this workaround still working?
Do you know if is possible to install two different versions of an app on Android?
Thank you fro you help
Is it maybe a map-licence problem? Looks depends on country...
Try to pre-cache Hungary...
Google has the answwer.....

Hi there,
you are absolutely correct with the License Issue:
support.google.com/gmm/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2650347&topic=2649131&ctx=topic
Get something like the Route 66 app. You can all the maps I guess for free as long as don't want navigation ...
Another Work around?
Back when I was using a jail broken iPhone 3G....there was a method of downloading ALL Google Maps files you wanted via a special program and then storing them in the iPhone for use off line. This activity was NEVER envisioned by either Google or Apple.
Why can't this feat be duplicated for Android?? Would solve all those irritating, "Map not available for this region" problems...
I have the S4 int version with 4.2.2, and i can't install the old version of maps.Did all the preparation with deinstalling the updates for the current Maps,and enables the "install from unknown sources".Ask me do i what to install it,and when i hit yes, show me "the app is not installed".
.
Anyone with 4.2.2 or newer,successfully installed the 6.11.1 maps application?

Actually its not country specific to download apps. (But some apps like Google Voice, Flixster, Netflix etc. are country specific) You just need a Gmail account to download apps from Play Store.

I use hotspot shield VPN and market unlocker. I can access Play Store from Myanmar. Press thanks, if i helped you.
You can try flashing gapps again. I had same issue and reflashing gapps solved it
You think Google told us this ?
BTW try using Market Enabler
I'm having the same problem, I just bought a One X+ and I didn't want to have to root it so I could receive the factory updates. I tried just a VPN but it won't work, the Play Store won't connect with just the VPN even though the VPN is set in my home country. I guess that I'll have to root it and use Market Enabler after all .
Try with market enabler (google it), you can fake any country you want to playstore

Yes but to use Market Enabler your phone has to be rooted, that's what I was trying to avoid.

Just download the apk or try market unlocker. U can prank Google to think ure from other country and download apps! Of course that needs root as stated above!

You could try using Hotspot shield VPN, it's free. And with market unlocker. I'm from Myanmar too. This Works. I use Black Market instead of Google play. But I can use both.
It's working in my samsung, PM me if any problem
Press thanks, if i helped you!
I never used this in any of my phones I had. But my brother used it for his work, the other day he said android is the best just miss from his old nokia the gps app that work offline. It appears that now in android he needs to be online.
Is there any gps app that could help him without to go online?

there are plenty of 3rd party apps like navigon, sygic, copilot, ... but these cost relatively much.
You can store google maps for offline use but I don't think it works with navigation yet...
Those works offline?..thnxs
Pd: looks like none work for my country, Nicaragua.

I found this app but I don't know if it's good for navigating.
This app might be worth checking, seems to have offline storage and is free. (and nicaragua is part of the country list)
Try navigon or tom tom for android.both global coverage and latest maps.
I use gps test plus, grat app
there is plenty of apps in play store.
btw, im using papago!sg,my
