I use Google Nav in cases where Waze is not sufficiently updated, but where possible I use Waze.

You can get the labs extension for Google maps that allows you to cache map areas.

That is not Voice Guided navigation, just mapping software using Open Street maps as a source for privately created tiles. They have voice navigation called Navdroyd and its crap, I bought it as it was one of the 1st to come out with totally offline navigation and its beyond crap.

If you make a wrong turn i will take forever to recalculate and the lag to update the maps from Open Street Maps takes forever(3-6 Months). Navfree and OsmAnd is much better application for using Open Street Maps as a source.

It doesn't do Drive Voice Navigation though.

nvm, Elimentals beat me to it.

I use google maps alot. But it regularly freezes. It stops to work, then it needs a force close, or I restart the phone. Over the weekend, I needed it and it froze. I use a moto defy. Is there another gps provram on thd market, or a fix to it.

Try updating it with a newer version

By the way, I also had some problems on my defy when it runs slow as sh*t, especially when I get lost and really needed it.

Anyways, I was on CM7 nightlies and found certain versions are much better for googlemap and some not.

Are you running custom roms by any chance?
