Best offline map solution?
I'm visiting lots of strange locations lately and I haven't found any great solution when it comes to maps/navigation without network for regular mobile phones. Luckly I have a great sat device that handles calls/navigation when out of network.
Now, I have iphone, androids,windows, n9/n900. So far I haven't found a great solution for offline maps. It simply not working when you switching County and zooming on maps. What's the best solution for iOS, Android, windows or maemo/meego. If you have any other platform with a great working solution I'm all intressting in that too. Is it possible to Download and entire map to be able to zoom in out around the globe? |

Nothing beats a good old Nokia C5. Offline maps just work!

If the openstreetmap coverage is good enough for you in your target area, try navit. Works on n900/android. I do not know for n9 and iphone for sure.

@dave get hold of any symbian belle device as it supports the 2xx version of map update ie richer data available transist lines etc...
It works fully offline you can serch plan a route get waking driving predestian navigation with voice. Only u will be limited if map data for said region isint good enough. And modrana a good choice if you have time to prepare it for trip with various map sources overlayed. Dont opt for sygic on any platform its very unreliable with jumbeld data wrong routing bla bla atleast for me in india:) i found nokia symbian maps to be good enough for navigation combined with google maps offline java aplet in symbian to be perfect now in modrana boat .:) |
Re: Best offline map solution?
I will see if I can find a n8 or E7. I think they have belle.

It's possible to download some region down to full zoom in a lot of maps available for N900. At least in modrana, mappero and marble. I'm currently using modrana because it's actively developed and the one with most needed features. Offline routing based on OSM data is also available.

Re: Best offline map solution?
Download all the tiles for modRana, set it to offline and walking mode?
|
Re: Best offline map solution?
Maybe try MoNav in the n900 its not great but it do the job for offline routing

Edit: The most recent NavFree reviews are somewhat less favourable so buyer beware. As said, I used it a while ago. |
