Hi All,
Does anyone know of an application like google maps that allows you to download a complete country map to your device? In my case Australia. I used to have an N95 8GB and Nokia Maps allowed me to download the entire map of Australia to my phone so I could use it offline. I would like to do this on my HD. I have google maps installed and it is perfect apart from the fact the it must have a data connection to work. I know it can cache maps but I am not interested in that, I want mapping on the fly. I also have TOMTOM installed but it's maps lack detail and the ability to browse around a map is very poor.
If anyone knows of a solution please let me know.
Cheers
Craig

Hi everyone,
I am looking for an application on PPC2003 to read
Garmin maps (IMG format).
Reason is that I have NOT go onto the GPS bandwagon yet
but I noticed a lot of Free garmin maps on the net.
This maps will come in handy even though I don't have GPS.
So if anyone knows of such an application, please let me know.
Alternatively, anyone knows what is the best alternative
to get free maps and free map readers (NON GPS)?

Virual Earth Mobile- Something like google earth on mobile.
Use active internet connection to download maps of areas located by GPS ( I didnt tried GPS part yet). You can use wifi, GPRS or just activesync. Important thing is it use cache folder to store all maps so You can made archive of area where You want to go and dont use internet during trip.

Does the software get the map from Google earth? As some of the small places doesnt have clear maps, it is quite difficult to get anything useful out of it. Further, I find Google earth is pretty good for looking for interesting 'things' within an area, and not that good for finding directions.
Good question. I dont know. At first I though it take maps from Google but later on I thinks it connect to Microsoft map server and pulls map from there.
As for usability - You're right , some areas are not very detailed but You have soft which cover whole earth! I have GPS soft which covers eu very precise but it is completly usless in Asia or elswere. Thats why I found this soft exceptionall because You can use it everywhere.
best,

I currently have Google maps installed which is incredible (http://google.com/gmm), but does anyone know of any map software that I can use without a data connection? I was hoping for something as good and free as the google map.

i asked this a while ago in the general forum, there is one by nokia called smart2go, but apparently nothing else
That is a neat offline map. You can download maps from all over the world for free. The only thing that it is just literally just a map. Once I want to start putting in locations and mapping routes, that's when I gotta pay. It's nice tho, works fine on my WM5. Thanks for the find! I'm still open for suggestions if anybody knows of any other progs.
I'm about to try Pocket Streets 2002
I know I downloaded it free, but I think I may have to have Streets & Trips on the PC. I don't remember.... I'll let you know how it goes. I'm wondering if anyone else has any ancient stuff, when WiFi was our only internet option (in general), so live maps were pretty pointless.
Of course, there's the outdated data thing to consider.
I was also wondering if something like AvantGo might work. I imagine it would be possible to edit the page to add your own stuff. ???
I am going to Alaska in 3 weeks. I need a road map program only. Dont need GPS. Does anyone have one they can spare or give me advice on what is out there.
Thanks
Anyone have iGuidance?
nokia's smart2go
it's free
download the maps for your country, sort of similar to google maps, only not as good
Is there another map software that you can download maps for and use it directly? For example, maps of two states, so you can drive from one point to another without GPS/WiFi.

smart2go will do that,
download and install the program, download whichever maps you want, use offline, or use with gps

Hi, I am a newbie and i want to ask that is there any U.S.A map software for htc 8525. i know there's goggle map or something else like that. But the point is i need a map software that i can use without internet. California or San Jose Map would be great. My phone is htc 8525 wm6 rom RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3_1_.57.502.1_6275_1.48.00.00_108-ATT-MR3_Ship.
thank you very much
Look into iGO8 or Tomtom7. Both do what you would like at the expense of a one time cost of buying it. You can also use Google Downloader to download maps and then load them to Google Maps.
Can you explain more about "using google downloader to download maps and then load them to goofle maps". thank you
