GPS Essentials seems to cache Google maps. I could be wrong. Could someone confirm?
EDIT: Never mind. It turns out it doesn't.

getting navigation is the issue. Most of the alps do not provide provide navigation. PMaps (-) worked for me. It took a few mins to cache the map tiles but worked. Got downtown toronto downloaded, and works pretty well without wi-fi or data.
Now to figure out if I can get navigation on the offline maps...
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Google Maps [BRUT]:
[APPMOD][09.08.10] Brut Google Maps 4.4.0.4414-brut16 - xda-developers
It's a modified version of Google Maps that can cache map tiles to your SD card (among numerous other tweaks).

Forget navigation: if I could even get street address search, I'd be happy. Browsing a map to find an address is useless: the screen is too small. That's the great thing about good ol' paper maps: you've got detail and wide view at the same time.
Hello,
Questions:
1) did anyone reviewed navdroyd? How well does address input work? Car navigation?
Thx,

Google, "Directions" is just fine for _online directions.
You get voice + written directions + map plus lots more.
BUT......
How do you save ANY of those for later use when you are offline?
ie.
1. I'm at home
2. I fire up my WiFi
3. I get all of the above
4. Now I want to save it to my SD card.
5. Can't do it
Hi,
why don't you just check out if MapDroyd is the right application for you. MapDroyd is a free, true off-line map viewer for Android phones. It uses content from OpenStreetMap and provides maps for the whole world.
Cheers
I have found and been using Route3D. You have to zoom to the level you want before caching, but it is a 3D map, and so far works well on my Incredible.
