OpenStreetMap. Look at OSMAnd. A quality nav program for android that uses OSM. it's better than Apple maps, at least, haha On Jul 17, 2013 7:30 AM, "Zisu Andrei" wrote: > Well, you could do some lobbying to get that as a core app, but you will > need a good plan, and it will probably not be unti

Well, you could do some lobbying to get that as a core app, but you will need a good plan, and it will probably not be until 13.10 though. Probably the hardest part is.. Where do you find open navigation information? On Wednesday, July 17, 2013, Pierre Bornancin wrote: > That's a pity... > Le 17

Hi I'm like Pierre, user of OSMAnd, which is a very good navigation software (maybe not as google maps but with very great features). For me, A GPS navigation tool is obviously a must have in today mobile phone OSes. Using OSMAnd derivate (or other OpenStreetMap based map service) could be a great

Google Maps is likely, as most people know Apple Maps failed when they removed Google as default and Google then made a replacement which worked. I'm assuming Google has shown no interest in making apps like this and apps like Gmail for Ubuntu Touch? On 2 June 2013 23:55, Gianguido Sorà wrote:

That's a great point to talk on. I agree with you on all points, having a free navigation system is one of the killer feature of any mobile OS in the market right now. Maybe we can use already-existing maps like Google Maps or Bing Maps, this way developers will have much less code to write. The cr

After a little research, the Nexus that Google is selling directly is GSM only. These phones can be purchased directly from Verizon and Sprint with CDMA capabilities, but that comes with the usual contract and locking. On Fri, Apr 27, 2012 at 8:31 AM, Jack David Baucum wrote: > Sending the e-ma

Sending the e-mail to ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net should be sufficient. I think the Galaxy Nexus is the best way to go with the only issue is that it is GSM only, no CDMA, which would exclude Sprint and Verizon customers from being able to be involved. Perhaps two phones should be targeted, a

Are there any ideas being thrown around about how to approach GPS navigation on either the phone or tablet? I use it on my phone about 2 times a week. Sometimes more. And though I try to stay away from Google's services as much as possible by using Map Quest and other replacements for the stock And
