hello evry1
im in luv with aino n gonna buy it soon...and i have sum questons abt it~!
1) does google maps app in it require an internet connection? or does it use a-gps, which is free?
2) are there any offline navigation apps for it?
(excluding trek buddy, since its very hard to make ur own maps n put it in it and UAE map is not available for download)

1. A-GPS will connect to the Internet (once only), no matter the application that requires GPS services. Second, Google Maps downloads the maps as required.

2. Mobile Gmaps can use offline maps. http://www.mgmaps.com

Read the instructions for caching map tiles:
