Speednavi went straight in the trash when it came with my SG2. Poorly thought out software and dangerous too I would imagine with useless font sizes if being operated from a drivers seat.

Speednavi went straight in the trash when it came with my SG2. Poorly thought out software and dangerous too I would imagine with useless font sizes if being operated from a drivers seat. I'm not hoping for much considering how difficult it's been getting this far #103

Finally managed to get the Free supplied Speednavi map working on my Samsung tab.. I have to say what a pain in the arse way it is to load it up and register.. but after a few emails to them it's activated....................... now i have to wait until they allow me to upgrade.. another day or 2. So about 10 days inc weekends....pain. I hope the newest version (V4) is worth it #104

I got Speednavi free with my Samsung Galaxy II and had not bothered with it until I heard from harrry above that the app used the ESRI maps. The ESRI maps seem to be way ahead of anything else available and the map in SpeedNavi does seem to be the ESRI map and pretty reliable. And the route guidance seems pretty good, it has spoken directions and gives you this fun little blip when you get the right turn, a little like an arcade game when you run over a reward and get a bonus life or something. The interface for finding POIs sucks though. There are a few not very intuitive ways to find points of interest such as hotels, restaurants, etc (POIs) you might want to navigate too and none of them are very useful.
What is this about app updates? Is there some way to get an update to the free app provided with my phone? Does it improve on the functionality to find POIs? Edited by jamiesensei, 2011-12-29 13:56:16. #105

Does it improve on the functionality to find POIs? ok .. about the upgrade..it's as confusing as the initial start up process.....On the website it says that Version 4 is Android, yet we get version 1 on the cd (but they did have to send me a new APK, so not sure if the v1 or v4)it then gets harder to understand because they sent me an email to update to V4, So i went on Q&A to ask how, 1 week later no answer from the Thai side. So i emailed Korea and got told version 1 is the only version for Android...... confusing..... still waiting for an answer from Thai customer service. And so took advantage of the Sygic Christmas promo... Thailand for Euro 11.99. (523b) unlimited updates using tom tom maps. Still checking both out, not sure which i like best or which is the most accurate yet. #106

I'm using Locus. Really like it. Started with the free version, it so impressed me, I actually forked out cash for the full version. Make sure you download the add ons so you can use Google maps both on and offline. Installing vector maps for offline use is easy as well. Highly recommended.

Since I upgraded to Android 4.0 (ICS) it seems like my version of Google Maps (v. 6.1.1) has Navigation enabled for Thailand, without the need to hack it as before. After opening Google Maps, choosing Directions, and starting.ending point, then click on the "Arrowhead", representing Navigation, the Navigation app. starts identified as "beta". It looks like you can still pre-cache limited map areas for off-line use. I'll check a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 later and follow up.
