    OsmAnd for PB is free version, with limited number of downloads (maps, poi or whatever). At this moment, it's the best gps app that works on pb, "without" problems. Perform menu swipe and touch "Where I am ?" to locate you on the map. OsmAnd+ for pb won't be free, should come soon, after building is finished.

    And this Navigator, looks like slightly modified version of osmand + high price. Can somebody pull bar file from it's PB, and tell us which apk is in it, because there is nothing like OBJ studio on google play store ?

    Your menu is the EXACT same as Navigator, and when I installed OSMAND it even said I had a previous version installed ( NAVIGATOR )
    So what is the story here, do you work for OBJ Studio, did you rip them off or did they rip you off. Need some answers here.

    I googled OsmAnd and it's been around on Android for over a year and a half, if not longer. There website is Welcome To Osmand . Also like he said, I could not find either Navigator or OBJ Studios on Google Play. It would be kind of weird to port an Android app that wasn't actually in an Android store. I'm not saying it's a ripoff since the screenshots look different, but OsmAnd appears to be legit.

    I have no idea who is behind OBJ Studio, what he/they did to the original OsmAnd source code, why he/they decided to name it Navigator and why it's paid app. Simply, I don't care.

    I know that I'll build new version of OsmAnd, with unlimited map/poi downloads, bug fixes (+/-) and will post as new product for some small fee.

    I've tried a few Android Nav Apps, they all crash close, very annoying whilst driving.

    Megellan works well for what it is but it does not have off line maps and you need to be connected to the internet to use it. So no good as a Sat Nav, unless your just looking for something to help you for a short trip. No good for regular use.

    These "Navigator" or "OsmAnd" apps seem to be the first genuine solutions for Sat Nav on the Playbook.

    loaded up OsmAnd

    does not seem to work very well here in UK, pressed download maps and it just asked me for a filter word? ... could not download them..

    Does not look like it takes post codes which is a pain..

    Seems a bit over complicated for me, but I guess the only option right now.

    Its a shame its not a native app as it has allready crashed my android player..

    And when android player crashed its a pain as you cant just shut it down and restart it, you have to shut down the whole playbook.

    It's not worth the wait! NO OFFLINE MAP SUPPORT! That's all there is to it!

    Well I decided to give it a try, but wishing I had of waited. Multiple crashes, unable to find one address in Calgary, Alberta other than the very few that are there to choose from. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but so far it's useless to me.

    Hey Mike, new Alberta Maps avail for download, thought you should know!

    Is it giving you a list of maps along with the filter request? If not than, i believe, you have used up your 8 freebies. Had the same thing happen to me - android player crashes afterwards. I managed to get it working again by deleting one of the maps I downloaded with a file manager from the sdcard folder.

    I find that the maps for montreal/quebec are missing the majority of street names - am redownloding.

    The application has potential - wish it was native.

    So I have took the leap of faith and bought Navigator. It appears go be able more refined Osmand. However, it is still not easy to pick a destination and get directions.

    So did I and I completely agree with you on the difficulty of getting nav directions. The information tidbits don't seem to be in synch with the icons at least as far as I can determine.

    Another thought that may not be a positive is that I had to uninstall it along with some other apps and even though I bought it through AppWorld, it does not show in the reinstall list so I guess I'm out the $6.99 + tax. Oh well.


    Edit: I went back to AppWorld to the app and decided to see what would happen if I tried purchasing it again. Happy Days! It informed me that I had already purchased the app and it started downloading and installing on the Playbook. OK, so I'm a dummy but now a happy dummy!

    The latest stable one. Have deleted both the apps now. Will free up some space and retry sideloading.
