AndNav in a Nutshell PDF Print E-mail

AndNav1 and AndNav2 are Android Navigation-Systems.

The main difference between AndNav1 and AndNav2 is that they are not based on the same map-data. AndNav1 is based on GoogleMaps and had to fight with licensing issues, that are caused by the variety of different map-providers behind the GoogleMaps. The major drawback of that is that so AndNav1 is not allowed to have realtime-navigation, what makes out a common navigationsystem. So in the end AndNav1 is allowed to provide only 'static navigation', which is based on user but not on GPS-sensor input.

But, this is where AndNav2 comes into play, as it is based on free mapdata by OpenStreetMap.org. AndNav2 will provide full audible turn-by-turn realtime route-guidance. AndNav2 has unique features, like Text-2-Speech, an accessibility-study (aka 'Where can I get in 30 minutes') or avoiding customizable areas, i.e. a traffic-jam or a broken bridge on natural disasters. AndNav2 will also contribute back GPS-Traces to the OSM-Project, so when you have driven an unknown route, expect it to be no more unknown from a day to a week later.

AndNav1 and AndNav2 fully interact with all possibilities the Android-Platform provides, like Text-2-Speech, accessing your contacts, high-quality graphics and fast internet-access all combined in an easy to use user interface.

 

AndNav1 is developed by Nicolas Gramlich

AndNav2 ... in cooperation with Pascal Neis from openrouteservice.org.

I have downloaded Andnav2 on my phone but I can't figure out how to get a route and voice guidance activated?

There doesn't seem to be any documentation available.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
HPS

simply go to http://download.andnav.org (browse it on your G1) and click the Download links.

See the FAQ for step-by-step installation.

+5 #59 AnthonyC 2009-02-19 02:11 Any estimate for when this will be supported fully in the US? Also, is there someway we could download the map data to our own computers at home that we have running all day and have our G1's use the data that way instead of a central server? Maybe just as a temp solution using proxies until the 10k is received? It may get more donations as people can see how well it works for them in their area. Quote

Quoting natalaleyjj2000 :
Can you please tell me how activate the audible turn by turn navigation?

You should hear the voice, when approaching a turn.
