Google Maps on 755P Without Connecting To Internet?

Hi all, new here and have a question...just bought a 755P (Verizon) and was under the (I now know) mistaken impression that the Google Maps feature would work without connection to the internet (and thus no data fees).  I realized it did not have a GPS and thus would not have voice turn by turn directions, but thought at least just the maps would work without a data connection.  Now that I know I was incorrect on that, is there any software I can download/buy that will give me maps without connecting to the Internet?
Also, my thought is I don't want to spend too much because I could go get a bottom end Garmin type GPS for not much over $100, but I like the idea of having one device, plus being in the phone, I'll always have it with me.
Any suggestions or ideas welcomed!
(I want to figure this out in case this requires a data card because I know I'll want to buy a data card to store music and I'm assuming if I need to buy a data card for mapping that the same one could be used for storing music?)

Welcome to the Palm help forums.
From what I found you can get an mini SD card for $199.99 with preloaded maps and a GPS unit. Thats over your $99.99 limit.

    I don't think that is possible... but, after you do your initial install, you are only supposed to have to connect to the Internet once a month to verify your subscription

  • How to sync Google calendar with 8310 without having phone internet connections

    Hi there! I am new to this forum and hope to become a little more savvy with my Blackberry. Here is my first naive question? Is it possible to sync the Google calendar with my phone WITHOUT using my phone's internet services? Right now, I do not subscribe to any networks because I have no need for internet phone connections during the day. So, is there any way I can do a wired transfer from my laptop to my phone? 

    Hi redjug,
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Without a dataplan on your BlackBerry to connect it wirelessly with your Gmail account, you can sync via USB cable with any of the email programs listed in the following KB article. http://bbry.lv/dD823T

  • How can I print without connection to internet?

    My internet connection is very poor. It's often down.
    How can I print from mi mobile device to the printer that is wired connected?
    With iprint photo nothing was needed.

    Hmm this application on the android only requires that your Android device connects to your wifi maybe i can try to provide some clearer information and ill get some information from you as well.
    1. What type of printer do you have?
    2. What type of Android device do you have?
    3. The printer can either be wired or wirelessly connected to the network to use the ePrint home and biz application.
    Here are the steps that should apply.
    1. Turn your wifi on you Android device on and make sure its connected to the same network as the printer.
    2. Download and run the Hp ePrint home and biz application.
    3. Complete the registration in the application, it will ask for your personal email address and you will then receive an email with a pin to complete the registration.
    4. Next Either choose Photo Albums or Documents in the Application. Then select a document or photo to print, The next screen should give you a print preview, Select the down arrow and that will take you to the printer options which will have the supported printers in that list to print.
    Possible causes why your printer cannot be found include the following:
    The printer is not supported
    You are not connected to the  network
    You are connected to the wrong  network
    The printer is turned off
    The printer is not shared over the  network

  • Maps app works without connection????

    I'm sure there must be a reasonable explanation for this but I'm stumped. Yesterday my girlfriend got some directions using the Maps app while at home so she could flick through the route on the road. But as we were driving the marker showing our current position kept moving along the route with us. It even followed us when we went off the route. The iPod wasn't connected to any wifi source so how can this be possible? Any ideas?

  • Using airtunes without connecting to internet through airport express

    I am currently using cablevision and a modem, wirelessly, working fine.
    have extensive music library, want to play it through home stereo wirelessly.
    acquired airport express. computer finds it fine, but cannot skip using A Express as wireless connection
    help?

    you should be able to launch Airport Utility and setup your Express from scratch. The process is fairly self explanatory for me however, I found this tutorial that is pretty good and should get you through this ok, it's got screen shots to use as reference and covers the setup you are attempting to achieve.

  • Google Maps not loading on my iMac

    I can't get Google Maps to load on my iMac. Whenever I go to a web page that uses Google maps (i.e. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/29817682), the outline of the map loads and the scale, route etc. but the actual background map or satellite image doesn't load, it just sites there with a grey background and the status shows 'connecting to mt1.google.com'
    The number on the 'mt1.google.com' may be different as sometimes it is mt0.google.com, but it would seems as though my iMac can't connect to the Google servers.
    This happens in both Safari and Firefox and also any third party apps that use Google Maps.
    I thought it must have been an issue with my ISP or router, but I have a couple of PC's that connect to the internet through the same router on the same internet connection. These can all connect to Google Maps OK so it doesn't appear to be an issue with the ISP or the router, it is just my iMac that has this problem.
    Any ideas how to fix it? It does very occasionally manage to download the maps after about 10 minutes of trying but more often than not it doesn't.
    Thanks,
    Alan.

    Thanks William... That has certainly helped with diagnosis. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to adjust any of those settings within my belkin router.
    Switching the firewall off in the router does allows Google Maps (and Google images that I was also having issues with) to load in both browsers and other applications. I'm a little reluctant to do this however as it doesn't really seem like a sensible 'fix'?

  • Google Maps or iPhone 3G Maps issue?, can't find my address

    When I go to Google Maps on a Pc via the internet, it locates my home address without any issue (supplying street, city, state, and zip).
    When I do this on my new iPhone 3G in Maps, it comes up saying it couldn't find anything ... So whose issue is this, iPhone's implementation of Google Maps, or Google Maps not giving iPhone/Apple the latest data ? (which brings up a separate question about how complete Maps data is ... hmmm).
    Any ideas how I should best report this ?

    I don't know how to report this but I experienced the same thing this morning. I plugged in an address to maps.google.com and it found it correctly however in Maps on my 3G it shows it incorrectly. I double checked the address on my iPhone to that searched on the internet and they were the same. I even tried alternate spellings (i.e. Dr., Dr, and Drive) with no luck.
    Whats the deal with this?

  • Remove Zoom scale of Google maps in OBIEE 11g Mapviewer

    Hi,
    While integrating Google maps with OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0 , we are able to see two Zoom scales one for BI layer and another for Base map layer (Google Map).
    When we select the former Zoom scale (BI Layer) , our views have been placed in exact countries. But when we select latter one, only base map i.e., Google map is zooming without upholding the views(Color fill,Image,Bar Graph,etc.,).
    So is there any way to bring synchronization between two layers with one zoom scale.
    Kindly help me to sort out this issue.
    Thanks in advance!

    Will require backport of a fix for mapviewer (oraclemaps.js) that has to be part of the OBIEE patchset.
    Filing a bug would help the process.

  • IPod touch 5G has no GPS built-in, then why Google map does show your location without wifi connection?

    Am confused with the above, based on Apple's web site, iPod touch 5G has no built-in GPS, see this page:
    https://www.apple.com/ipod-touch/specs.html
    However when I bring my iPod touch 5G to outside where no WiFi available, but when I move, the Google Map
    on the iPod touch 5G does follow me and  show my current location, though the location accuracy is not high, say, errors can be
    around 10 meters or higher.
    Wonder how the location information is acquired on iPod touch 5G if no GPS, no WiFi?
    Thanks
    David

    Because wifi networks are within range of the iPod and the iPod detected them and the iPod already have the location of the networks on the iPod.
    You do not have to be connected to a newwork to use the location of a netowrk.
    For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
    Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
      You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds

  • Using google map polygon without map

    Hallo
    i use a polygon ( com.google.maps.overlays.Polygon) in a value object (fieldData) besides other data, later in the programm the polygons are displayed in a google map.
    new FieldData(".....","1",new Polygon([
                        new LatLng(49.70624852,8.17595987),
                        new LatLng(49.70634712,8.17589098),
                        new LatLng(49.7063722,8.17708855),
                        new LatLng(49.70627548,8.17720608),
                        new LatLng(49.70624852,8.17595987)]
    i instantiate the value objects on programm start and i get this error:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
         at com.google.maps.overlays::Polygon()
    It seems like i get this error because there isnt a google map object existing at that time on programm start. so i changed my code to call this methode on programm start before creating my value_Objects:
    protected function initMap(): void
                        var map:Map = new Map();
                        map.key = "...................";
                        map.enabled=false;
                        map.visible=false;
                        addElement( map );    
    it works! but i dont like the code, i dont need that map object at that time and not in the main component. so i made it invisible.... isnt there a better way to use polygons without having a map-object?

    Actually I am noob in google related development, Me too.
    so let me ask you the last question : Is it possible to use google map APIs from mobile applications, I believe many ppl use those APIs for developing web applications, so all I wanna know is whether it is suitable for mobile applications.
    Tnx in advanceNote that this is a Java forum, not a JavaScript forum or a Google Maps forum.
    Try to search the internet for some useful information:
