The android phone is becoming a lot of fun. I find it useful in so many ways that I now regret buying a phone with less on-board memory. |

THIS IS the baap of all such softwares, and works like a charm, but only on custom roms (i know of CM7 only). after endless pain in cleaning the internal memory of chacha daily, i am suddenly free- it is living on 2GB of internal memory :D http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1716124 |

Oh okay, you dont have the ignominy of halting browsing every 5 mins because your phone ran out of internal memory, i guess :D |

There is already a free gps navigation app ( with offline maps ) - navfree. I've tried it and It's a pretty good navigation app. :-) |

I am personally using a TP link 300Mbps one, but that was bought for streaming 720P content to my HTPC. For basic needs you can get a 150Mbps routers around 1K. Try to get router with external antenna. |

I don't understand how one can waste money on Google maps data. You can very well make and entire region offline. Even if you don't do that and let the maps download tiles as you go, it will never even make a single digit percentage of your data plan if it's like 1gb. Do you have a 'pay as you use data' plan? Last week I visited hyderabad and before going there, I downloaded the entire city map through wifi. It wasn't even 10mb of tiles. |

I haven't paid the bill yet as there is still sometime for the payment. I have used the maps extensively all the way from Hyd to Panchgani - Mahabaleshwar - Goa - Hyderabad. I really didnt think about bill initially but now after seeing the bill, I regret it. :Frustrati |

Online maps is frustrating. The hassle free offline navigation is so convenient especially while driving. |

It's unlikely that Gmaps is the culprit here. I've used it on long distances (450km and 9 hours) and I barely used 60MB and that includes all other apps that were running via Auto Sync. You may wan't to drill down further and do the how and what exercise. Gmaps wouldn't be anyone's first choice if it needed anything more than 100MB per trip to run. |
