I am pretty sure I saw this already on travel SE, but can't find it now. What are my navigation options with Android phone in an area without data connection? (I am in Northumberland)  EDIT: To clarify, I am looking for a turn-by-turn navigation system (mainly for driving). The suggested question is mainly about actual maps without this feature.

I don't need a recommendation or a list but my knowledge of GPS and "navi"s and the differences between them is an utter mystery to me.  But often I'm lost in backstreets in random countries where access to something like a live Google Maps would be awesome. I absolutely cannot afford a smartphone with worldwide roaming though.  Can GPS's do what I want or am I barking up the wrong tree? If they can is it only high end ones than can?

Maybe I'm just stupid, but I can't figure out how I'm supposed to get from a question (in the Android App) to the site the question is on.   I know I can open the left drawer, tap "All Sites", and type in the name of the site I want to go to, but it seems like there should be a way to get from a question to its site without all that rigmarole. (Tapping the back button works if I was on the site in the first place, but if I get to a question from my feed or from a link in my browser or something, that doesn't help.)

I need my iPhone 7 Plus GPS accuracy to be very precise (without continously changing the blue dot position). My cellular data connection is often sloppy. Does disabling cellular data improve GPS accuracy? Does the GPS depend on cellular data at all? I thought the GPS partially relied on cellular data to improve its accuracy.

I am travelling to US and Canada from Australia this year and was wondering what would be the most economical and hassle free option for having mobile data and call time on my iPhone that gives me good coverage on both east and west coasts for both countries.   Option 1: Buy individual Sims for each each country and switch upon arrival in that country. Option 2: Buy one Sim that works in both countries. Will there be any roaming changes?  Any good providers, I'll throw in a free Sham-wow along with an up-vote and potentially an accepted answer.

I've checked the webpages of some their providers, but franly, just like in the case of those in my own language, I literally cannot find my way around them. So if you wouldn't mind sharing a word of two or advice.  I'm looking for a good solution for mobile internet surfing in northern Italy, that can be connected to a laptop (you know, that usb stick with a SIM card inside kind of thing). 15 Gb or so at some decent speed. Can you perhaps give a recommendation or two of what to get?    Edit: Just to define what I'm looking for exactly. A data plan of 15 Gb with an internet key (usb stick into which a SMS card goes) that you plug into a laptop. Preferably non-contractual, so I can cancel when I leave. I am not interested in surfing on my mobile phone since due to size I still prefer the smaller Nokia-like models for calls (smaller to carry) - no internet on them.

Is there any way to see the timetable for a  bus route?  On their website I can see the routes map, but I'd me more interested in seeing where the bus is going to stop for a given route.  E.g. if a bus goes from Rotterdam to Amsterdam, I'd like to see each stop.

Can Cell Phones be (legally) used Adhoc, (ie, Point-to-Point) Communication?  For example, let's say I'm in a remote area of the woods, or a valley.  Can I configure cell phones to be used as true walkie-talkies even though neither one of them use has a cell phone tower?  (Besides, it might be handy to use this on, oh, say, a drone, for photography purposes.  I intend to comply with all regulations regarding use of my drone.)  This goes for those modules too, I can hook them up to a , for example.    In the latter case I could just buy a nice antenna, I guess....   What kind of range would either of these things have if they are feasible?  I wanted to get my ham radio license, but I have my second year of engineering school to finish up.  Also: Might you suggest any alternatives (I hope this doesn't make my askance too open- but, it may be worth noting , or moreover, it's very upvotable answer! Alas, I doubt they have too much bandwidth...)

I am involved in a bigger university mobile application project and my task is to design and develop a mobile module regarding map and location-based services in a native Android application.   Shortly my part of app should display different kind of info on a georeferenced map (Google Map or Openstreetmap) based on Oracle data:   Shortest path to reach a certain event from a certain location Different layers with domain information to the event (like parking places around it, bus lines ecc. ) GetFeatureInfo option   I am new in this kind of topic and I would like to ask you an architectural question regarding it.  I thought about using Geoserver to define layers, styles, datasets etc., and WMS protocol to generate the map over a website using  HTML 5, OpenLayers, and jQuery-mobile.  But how can I accomplish this in a native android app?   Building a webpage where I display the map using HTML 5, OpenLayers and jQuery-mobile to interact with Geoserver and then using the Webviews in Android to display the webpage in my app? Would be this a possible solution? Possible drawbacks?  What are the alternatives using Geoserver?

Is a "home" button on the navigation required if there is a link to the homepage using the company's logo?   Increasingly I have noticed more and more websites using the logo as a link to return to home instead of a clear Home button in the navigation but haven't found any good proof or research to suggest that this is best approach.   Is there a best practice guidelines or some kind of criteria (e.g. advanced users vs beginners) that should aid in making this decision.   Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated. Thanks

Will  be supported on the Android App in the future? I visit A51 rather frequently and I would like to see it in the App.

Is there a cost effective way getting a data connection (sim card) for a mobile phone for 3 weeks while I am in Israel? So that I can read emails, and make use of google maps on my phone?

Android 5.0 has a new "feature": If a wifi network has no connection to the internet, it will remain connected to it but route traffic over mobile data instead. A small exclamation mark shows in the status bar over the wifi symbol.  Unfortunately, for some reason Android has decided that my home wifi does not have a good internet connection - which is not true, as I'm using it to access Stackexchange at the moment - and is, instead, trying to send everything over GPRS.  With mobile data disabled, things work over wifi just fine, despite the exclamation mark - so it isn't a problem with the wifi not working, per se.  Is there any way to override this "smart" feature? The only way I have found to make things work at the moment is to disable mobile data while I am in my house - which is not a practical long-term solution.   EDITING to add that I have now solved this problem by buying a new router! I was using something very old... But, I'll leave the question here for the benefit of anybody else with the same difficulty.

I found new Google Maps slow, useless (routes with only two points) and wrong. Is there any way, I can turn it off completely and go back to favored old Google Maps? Or is this &mdash; as with everything in Google &mdash; one way trip?  I found  text on this matter, but it seems useless. I have the feeling, that it discuss something completely different. It says about lite indicator in bottom-right corner. I don't have something like that. And provided links, that should switch new Google Maps engine between WebGL and canvas-based, simply doesn't work. All of them opens new window with annoying advertisment about new maps.  I even tried pasing part of URL, they're talking about (force=canvas) into any URL that my new Google Maps uses. Of course without any luck.  So... is there any way, I can get rid of new Google Maps, once and permanently?  UPDATE: In these days (April, 2015) Google , that soon new Google Maps will be the only one available. To my extremely negative surprise, this question will become invalid soon! :(

On Friday, I joined the  on a PC in order to . The Stack Exchange app was open on my phone already at this point, and I did not exit it.  Later on, I got a notification on my phone about having received an answer. It was a good one! When I tried to upvote the answer using the Android app, though, I wasn't allowed to: it said I hadn't joined the site, apparently not having caught up with the fact I had done so a couple of hours beforehand.  I apologise for the  in these screenshots. :) I plugged it in to charge minutes later, I promise!        When I said I wanted to join, though, I couldn't, unsurprisingly, on account of already having done so:        I closed the app entirely and reopened it, and then the app was happy that I was a member of Anime &amp; Manga. But it wasn't updated whilst the app was running.  The app should probably get informed of this. (Though this may be low priority due to not occurring all that often.)  This occurred on the Android App v1.0.51 on a HTC One running Android 4.4.3.

How accurate is the GPS on the iPhone's Find My iPhone app?  I used Find My iPhone app to track a friend. The first 3 stops were dead on but when it refreshed it showed them to be several streets over from actual location. What could cause that?

I've been using mock locations in my latest endeavors, and I'm having some issues. I enabled a mock location app from the developer options, set my Location Mode to 'Device Only,' and took precautions such as moving the app to System.  Everything is working how I intended it, except my location keeps bouncing between the mock location and my actual location. I've tried desperately to prevent my internal GPS from interfering with the mocked location, but with no luck.   The only method that I managed to have success with was by wrapping aluminum foil around my phone to inhibit the GPS.. this works but it's very inconvenient. I'd be grateful to anyone who can shine light on my troubles.  I'm running rooted Android 6.01 (Marshmallow) with a OnePlus Two device if it matters. I've tried different mock location apps with similar results on them all.

I'd like to understand the reason (pros and cons) why Stack Exchange went with a native mobile app and not a hybrid app (using WebView and some native features).   I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I just would love to read about the decision process and arguments for and against. For me intuitively a hybrid app would have made more sense for a site like this.
