Google Maps with Navigation Pakistan

Google Maps is one of the most important and widely used apps in Android phones, thanks to the extensive coverage of Pakistani regions in Google Maps. If you would have noticed, there is an app called Navigation that comes with Google Maps, but you’re not able to use it.

Navigation with Google Maps is not available in Pakistan, and the app won’t even start saying that it is not available in this region. Well, you can now activate Navigation (turn-by-turn driving directions) in Google Maps to be used in Pakistan if you have a rooted Android phone.

TeamAndroid.com has covered an extensive tutorial on how to install and activate/enable Google Maps with Navigation. After installing this on your rooted phone, you will be able to use turn-by-turn driving navigation with voice in Pakistan – and guess what, it works great here with no issues whatsoever.

  • Yaar Harris, I followed all the instructions but the modified / cracked version of Google Maps does not get installed. What to do to force install that?

  • Yes newer versions of google maps allow you to pre-cache an specified area on to the SD card for offline use. Search for modified google maps 6 or above.

  • is there any way to do this without rooting coz i’ve heard after rooting you cant claim warranty.

  • i have htc desire hd android mobile when i install the titanium backup but give me the error after istallation on the software screen what you can help me i send u email but you dont response. i m waitting for you

  • Rooting is a process, in which the user can access all the important software files (which is initially disabled to avoid modifying of software files)
    After this process, you have void you warranty, meaning you can not give your phone to claim warranty. It is a risky process though!
