[Q] Navigation software

---

Hi
Sorry if this has been discussed, but I couldn't find anything.
I'm interested in buying an Optimus One and I would really like to know what GPS software can I install, because GoogleMaps is not an option where there's no 3G signal...
Is iGO available for Android?

I'm really new in Andoid stuff, just got rid of my good-for-nothing Nokia 5230 (Symbian really sucks, the only good thing in it was the OviMaps app).

I ude ndrive..it cost $ but the ui turn by turn a like alot.

hello 22VIN ,
on my optimus one, I have installed iGO My Way 8.4.2.13242 and Sygic Aura. both of them is working very well no need 3G, just GPS enabled. the gps receiver itself is very fast , sensitive & accurate. I recommend it.

Try Copilot or Navigon.

If iGO works this is the best solution for me, because iGO has a very complete map of Romania (this I know for sure, I don't know anything about the other software) and I am very familiar to the interface.
3G is useful for A-GPS, because you can get a position lock in a few seconds, but if you say the receiver is fast, then it's ok.

Thanks for the answers:P

No, just use the new google maps 5.0. Has offline caching now.

Yeah. But still isn't as good as iGO. Which does have an Android version, just as mr_ace_sk said. I'm using v8.4.2.124036 with maps from July 2010 on my LG P500. I'm pleased with this combination.

Can you post that .apk here ? I flashed with prime and when i download ndrive from market, it says not compatible maps which were provided by lg.

Thanks.
