What the best android app for GPS, sister uses Google maps on her Galaxy mini.
Any better mapping than Google maps available, & finally a good camera app is also needed.
Tried searching this forum, as I'm sure it was posted about these apps, but I failed miserably.

To be clear, you want to know if there is a better map than Google Maps? I would say no. What is Google maps lacking?
In my opinion nothing, I think Google maps is superb, just sister asking me if there is anything better than Google maps.
Prehaps with a better GPS she will see sense.

Tried that a while ago. Lasted about half an hour before it lost it's novelty
£1.86 .....
I'm not really sure other than I think the 'free' version may just be a months trial? I bought it when it was on offer on Google Play for 49pence.

A stock ICS calendar and messaging app is now up on the market, seem to work perfectly fine!

Still in beta, so it's a bit buggy.

Calendar is cool.
Message app is soo basic - Spoilt by the choices in GoSMS.
Black background option would be great.
Yeah, tough choice for me as the stock sense calendar is superb, but I love the simplicity of ICS calendar and theme.
I like the SMS app, but............it doesn't have a black theme!!!!!!!!
Prefer stock sense SMS over it I think anyway.
same!
I just tried that new one out anyway, the UI is very nice and it has a dark theme too but a glaring issue resides with SMB shares that are stored with the master password. If you master password contains a period then the keyboard used may input the period and then an auto space after it whereas in a normal password field any auto correction or punctuation should be auto disabled.
It's like the app isn't telling Android that this is a password field, ignore all auto corrections.
Means I can't access my network shares thereafter once applying the global password!
I also find ES quicker to switch between sources at present but will check Solid another time once it's out of beta I guess.
