Trying to get offline GPS working with Poly Eclair, but so far it won't direct me unless I have an active internet connection. Tried using MapDroyd, but Nav still insists that I have a connection. Downloaded all the maps in my area as well.
Did anyone get Offline GPS working on their Poly Android?

I live in Middle East.i prefer english maps.
Should i download country specific maps for the gps to work? because my gmaps is showing me the location only when i am using wifi if i am away from wifi networks i try the gps it shows the location with a blue arrow but a blank map not sure what to do.
If i have to download maps of each country kindly guide me with the link.
If you are using Google maps you need a working data connection as Gogle maps downloads the "tiles" automatically according to your locations. With google maps you cannot pre-download the country map but you need to have the data connection on (3G or Wifi) so that the app keeps updating the map tiles for your location.
Other navigation applications like Ndrive, Wisepilot, .. require that you download/purchase the country specific map and it is stored on the phone memory, with these type of applications you do not need a data connection to use the GPS navigation.
hope this helps
Hi all
I plan to use the Galaxy Nexus as a music player. I will not activate it with a phone company. Therefore I will not have any voice or data connection. Also, I won't always have a wifi connection.
I would like to know if the GPS will be working under these conditions.
Definition of working : will give me a coordinate of longitude and latitude. Separate programs may require data connection but this is another issue. Might just download offline mays.
Thanks.
Yes, it does work.
Download GPS test from the market.
Hi All,
My Galaxy Nexus 4.2.1 doesn't lock position with only GPS receiver and internet connection disabled.
Nexus has an internal GPS receiver, so ideally it should be able to lock position without internet connection.
I have read in many places that we need to enable "Google apps access your Location" settings but that will require an active data connection.
Think about a scenario - stuck in somewhere there is no internet connection and one wants to know the location - then Nexus wont lock position - right?
How to test that GNexus can lock position without internet connection. Tried all available "fixes" for this issue - no result.
Please help!
Does GPS works in offline mode on this device.
If I have downloaded maps can it get location without internet.
Can anyone confirm please?
Is wifi working properly for you with 1.3?
I can be connected to my wifi, with a solid wifi wedge in my shade, but can't get cloud sync to work anymore. I always have the slash-cloud. I know the watch is connected to the internet, because wear browser works just fine.
Anyone else? It's done this on 2 watches, full factory reset, reinstall android wear app. Cloud sync is on.
