GoDaven GPS add-on

[Thingywingy]

I have igo loaded on my phone, offline and gives turn by turn directions

When i used to use a GPS i had a Mio with iGO programmed. Between some of the software i downloaded is maps of 114 countries, go daven, Montreal kosher list, speeding cameras, hatzolah maps, and more.

Never heard of iGo before. When your offline, how does it know where you are? Is iGo just the software for the maps, or the actual maps? How does it compare to the Google maps, Waze, and the standalone GPS systems (Garmin, TomTom, etc.)? Where did you get list of speeding cameras?

My phone has some kind of technology called "GPS" which tells my phone where it is.
Igo is the app, and the maps are formatted for the Igo app.
Google maps and waze are definitely better as its updated constantly and has live traffic info, but its just like garmin and tomtom as its uses the same map info, it just has a different UI. GIYF for the camera data

I'm a bit confused; you wrote you use it offline. Doesn't the technology called "GPS" on a phone need a data connection?

The GPS is standalone and doesn't require a data connection, its the map app/software that requires the data connection. Hence the garmin/tomtom GPS works without any data connection.
Except maybe if you phone only has GPS-A which could require a data connection

The GPS technology does not need data however it needs data or WiFi to map a route or recalculate

Seems like CHFF is saying if you download the maps you don't need a data connection.

Is there a way to download the maps and just use the Waze for traffic info? The points would be to use much less data. Anyone know how much data waze uses?

Waze doesn't allow to save offline, Google Maps does have an option to download some maps, which I have used in the past for walking directions

@chff
I didn't like the Navigator app. Out gave me turn by turn directions a minute after I had to make the turn...

Care to share the igo apk?

Which phone do you have? Its a complicated setup, and depending on the maps its could be a few gig
