Android App For POI Files?

Have the Thrive too. Been looking with no luck yet but sure someone will figure it out. Emailed Garmin about some apps to do what we do now with computer to GPS. They are suppose to be looking into it. We will see. You can get different navagation apps for the thrive and it come stock with Google but no maps loaded to the unit. The one I use has the maps downloaded the Thrive and works pretty good. The stock Google works but if you go off the route you lose the navagation.

Hi Charlie,

Thanks for the reply. I'll let you know if I find anything. What is the name of the app that has the downloaded maps?

How to do like your Thrive?Looking for ICS to come out soon I hope.

A little off topic but try the Personal Assistant for your Thrive https://market.android.com/details?id=com.speaktoit.assistan.... You can also pick up a lot of info on the Thrive forums http://forums.toshiba.com/ and http://www.thriveforums.org/forum/toshiba-thrive-general-dis...

I have CoPilot on my phone and tablet and it works pretty well. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alk.copilot.namark...

It's currently full price but if you wait it will go on sale. It seems to go on sale every month!

Are you looking for an app for driving, hiking, geocaching...?

DO you need one that has offline maps, or do you have a means of tethering the Thrive to your phone for internet access?

I've used a number of car and geocaching apps that work for me on ICS, so I imagine they'd work with Honeycomb. Some support imported POIs (KML or gpx format).

My Maps in Google Maps is good for setting up POIs for sightseeing, hiking etc. It supports offline caching for map tiles.

And have you seen this thread?

Follow up. Look at this app. Allows you to transfer the red light and speed cameras to the data base. Free version and pro. Pro has option to overlap Google Maps on Thrive in the settings plus range for alert. I transfer my camera files to it. Very simple process.
