Now You: Which map software are you using? I use Sygic for Android.

It’s not free (€ 20 for all of Europe with lifetime map updates, € 30 for the entire world) but it’s excellent, as in fact it’s based on a core of TomTom maps and technology. Good configurable UI, too. It saves all its maps and automatic map updates to my phone’s SD card: the whole thing is specifically designed to be used offline with no problem at all. Of course while using the route planner, you do need to switch your phone’s GPS location on (most of the time, when I don’t need it, I leave my GPS off for privacy reasons).

Sideline: I like to be as Google-free as possible. I uninstalled/disabled *all* Google apps on my Android phone, with the one exception of Google’s Play Store for quick and easy app installs.

To be able to still use the Play Store, I linked my phone to an empty “dummy” Gmail account. In a few weeks from now, I will finally be able to completely and definitively terminate both my former Microsoft and Google accounts.

Trying to live without Google and Microsoft accounts turns out to be a very interesting experience indeed. Not until you try to cut all ties, you find out how far-reaching and all-pervading these beasts’ tentacles are! For example, it was quite a challenge to find a Google Calendar alternative that would easily synchronize between my desktop, laptop and phone without using the cloud Sorry for the digression. But you know, it *is* possible to live without Google! Google Calendar alternatives: if you still are happy to trust your data to others in the cloud, there are many alternatives.

One of the best for personal use may be Fruux, with the limitation that a free Fruux account will synchronize their calendars on two devices only: you’ll need a paid account for more. But I myself wanted a strictly private way to synchronize my calendar data without putting any data in the cloud. The solution that in the end turned out to work best for me is this: Step 1. On my Samsung phone, I deleted the Google Calendar app.

Scn Coding Keygen Torrent. This made the standard Samsung calendar app my default phone calendar (one that’s not linked to an email account, so not linked to the cloud). In my desktop and laptop, I installed the Lightning calendar extension for Thunderbird.

From my browser I exported my existing Google Calendar data to a file, and imported everything in the Thunderbird calendar. On my computers I installed MyPhoneExploner, a free PC-phone synchronizer (actually it has more functions). On my phone I installed the corresponding MyPhoneExplorer app for Android. MyPhoneExplorer has a built-in option to synchronize calendar data, contacts etc. It works fine with a Thunderbird-Lightning calendar and with a default phone calendar.

So after installing everything, at the first run it synchronized my still-empty Samsung calendar with the already-imported Thunderbird data. After that, keeping the calendars synchronized is a piece of cake. End result: this may not be the most elegant or streamlined setup, but it works fine. The most important thing, for me, is that my calendars on different devices are now kept synchronized in a strictly *local* way: through my own local wifi, Bluetooth or USB connections (it works with all three). No data go to the cloud. Had my windows phone not barfed it last week, I’d still be in the dark ages thinking I was in the light.:) I had to drag out the old Moto X and decided all or nothing and install CyanogenMod (CM) on it.

Wooo Hoooo google and msoft free and damned awesome. I tell you, if the mainstream ever gets to understand what and why CM is and what it has as basic apps, there will only be google’s-version of Android, for dummies.:) You can install one of several custom play store apps that do not report back and as Henk says, use an “empty” account. Bingo, best of both worlds. Then don’t get me started on using Titanium Backup to remove (and store as files for later reinstall) any nasty apps you may need for very occasional single use, like downloading the maps you need for a specific trip, then life is gooood! Long live the King. LOL Forgot to mention you can also selectively control ALL Permissisons for all apps installed. The thing that google hastily withdrew from 4.3 realizing that ALL calling home could be stopped on an app by app basis.

OsmAnd (Free: or 6,49 euro ) The list of available maps of Asia is very long. I don’t know how much detail you will have but I’m pretty sure normal travelling shouldn’t be a problem. Hiking might be more difficult, but then again you probably won’t find anything much more detailed anyway unless you buy paper maps. For example shows a Thailand map (based on osm) with many transliterated names. In the Android-app you can choose between local and transliterated names (if available in the first place).
