craigmdennis Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Google have released a maps lab that enables you to download a map for offline viewing or in case you drop data connection. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/download-map-area-added-to-labs-in.html Considering the cooknav requires a 3G connection to get the map data, this could be useful. I'm not sure how the google navigation works (it may do this already) Just thought it was cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Ive got two different navigation software options on my cooknav that dont require a data connection. Navigon and sygic mobile maps. Neither of these require a data connection, and both navigated me around the lakes and back home without fail. Including warning me if a strayed over the limit. All configureable for different thresholds etc. The re-routing when I went off the desired route was instant too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
