@rizwan400: I tracked my lost cell phone, lets see how to get it back.
Google Maps is no doubt excellent, problem is that carrier charges are applied, and applied alot, even if I purchase unlimited GPRS package, though it is still limited and volume based. Once you use free navigation, you don't like to pay for that
I got one solution, navitel. Studying it. If anyone has used it, please share.

Hello.

Don't buy anything from Android Market just search for the program on 4shared.com and put .apk at the end of the name , you will get free full apps. Works great.

Bye.

On iphone you can get any free app from Installous...

I have google maps on my DHD. Works fine. Just need to fill up the cache once, using WiFi, for the area you want to cover so that you don't have to download map/terrain images from GPRS all the time. Later, you can navigate using GPS tracking in that area, with very less GPRS downloading.

I tried searching there, I was able to install Navitel on my DHD. I also downloaded maps of Pakistan compiled for Android from pkmaps. Unfortunately Navitel I got was in Arabic and I could not load the maps. So I removed it from phone. Anyone able to run pkmaps on Android please?

So, if I am browsing Google Maps, maps are being cached? I have to travel to Torkham on Monday, following you, I browse the map with directions from Islamabad to Torkham border. All the route is now in cache?

Yes man .But also zoom in the whole map and then it will work without wifi or gprs on phone.I also now do the same on my iphone and it works without wifi or gprs

luckybilal (luckybilal) 2011-03-27 06:22:32 +0500 #17

Please refer to your post number "4" in this thread. in DHD "Locations" is an application and not "Location". I followed you there. When I open this application i.e. "Locations", list of locations in "Nearby" opened like Shopping, Eating & Drinking, Transit etc are listed. and there is also my longitude/latitude coordinates in top and when I click on "Show on Map" then it only displays a little circle, nothing else. I mean no map at all. In addition, you can't search any nearby locations. So we can't use this application in Pakistan. I don't know how you are using "Locations" application in Pakistan. As far as purchase/upgrade is concerned, there are so many options like "Purchase Navigation", "Download Maps", "Purchase Traffic", "Purchase Safety Cameras", "Download Voices", still you can't find anything for Pakistan for purchase.

If you are using all these things, in Pakistan, Please share.

Though I am able to find few nearby locations in "Places" application of Facebook for Android and I can check in there too.
