You guys know any fullscreen GPS apps for XOOM? I tried Motonav (I have it on my n1) and it's taking up a tiny portion of the XOOM screen (obvious reasons)
anything out there already supersized?

Fullscreen GPS Navigation?

I'm curious whether downloading Spare Parts and disabling Compatibility Mode will make it fill out the entire screen.
Good question, it's something I'm also interested in. Does Motonav use downloaded maps?
Also, have you tried disabling compatability mode in Spare Parts to make the app full screen?

The XOOM comes with Google's full screen navigation app 'Navigation'...
forgot to mention I have the WIFI-only xoom
Motonav has pre-installed maps ... the point is to use the GPS and only the GPS (no data)
what's spare parts?

Spare parts is an app. Just put it in market and search for it and you'll see what h meant

Spare Parts is an app that lets you turn off compatibility mode, so that most apps will scale to your larger screen apposed to being small phone size on your big screen device...Why you have to turn off compatibility mode to get apps to scale..I have no clue, but it works.
That might simply be an app issue, Ive used the navigation app overseas in rome even in walking navigation, works perfectly.
I wouldnt know if it's possible to extract the apk, i am sure many others would know.
copilot might run "fine" but does it do Fullscreen on the Xoom?
Like I said, Motonav only takes up about a quarter of the screen... by removing compat. mode with spare parts it'll stretch but prolly looks ugly ... is there an actual GPS navigation version (offline) that's made for the xoom yet?

If you bring up Google Maps a notification should appear saying that your location was set by GPS.
yup, and offline gps apps like MOTONAV work just fine ... the GPS chip is very quick to catch a signal from 10+ satellites
One thing is MOTONAV isn't made for this big resolution...

if I understand it correctly, I think this is what you're looking for (not sure if the nav works with all the maps):

Thanks for the response guys. I'm looking at getting a Xoom probably in the next couple weeks. WiFi only... having GPS is a huge + for it.
