Hello everybody,
I have a question, maybe somebody can help me here?
I am using an Artemis and consider to buy a TYTN2. Is it worth to change? I know, this is a strange question but maybe somebody had a Artemis before and is now using a TYTN2.
I guess iGO will work on the TYTN2 as well, is somebody using this SW?
Thanx in advance,
Ralf
If you look at GPS, yes, unnlike the P3600 Trinity, you are ok with the Tytn II GPS: it has a working quick GPS program. According to GPSPassion.com, the GPS quality is significantly improved, equivalent to the SirfIII (which you have in Artemis). The unit is slightly fatter and heavier though. You also have no FM radio. I like the one-hand navigation possible through the jog wheel on the side and the ok button on the side, which opens the windows menu when pressed. The tilt is nice when you keep the unit on your office linked to the PC, because it's not lying flat on the desk, you can see on it very well. Also when you use it as an alarm clock near your bed. Last but not least: WM6 without overclocking...
funny that you visit a Kaiser/TyTN II forum and ask that question
iGO do work on the device ... it's basically the OS that you should referred to when dealing with SW
I use it without any problem ... infact, I preferred it over TomTom !!!
yes i know, sorry for that
i think i will go for the tytn2, i was just looking for opinions and for the confirmation that iGO is working without problems. i need iGO for eastern europe, tomtom is here not very strong in map availability
thanx to all

If the weight is not an issue for you
If you can survive to the lack of VGA screen for surfing...
Then go and buy one
It's all great !

I've just sold my last car which had built-in PCM sat nav. I'd like to get sat nav for my new car but can't decide whether to get a GPS cradle for my XDA, a TomTom 3/5/700 or change the car's head unit for a power-screen DVD sat nav system.
My XDA IIi is relatively stable but it does crash periodically, can be slow to run stuff, sometimes freezes when I'm answering calls and basically seems to struggle with any sort of complex processing. I'm a bit woried that it may therefore be a bit crap at running 3d maps. Has anyone any experience of using these versus built in car systems or the TomTom units?
I've never updated the firmware etc so would also be interested if this improves reliability/speed etc.
Between the TomTom and SatNav head unit is the only real difference the screen size and convenience of not having an external box?
Thanks in advance for any help, Jonathan
I've just got Tom tom for my XdaIIi, with a bluetooth GPS reciver bought on E-bay. I've found it slightly unstable, however my friend with a IIs said it sorted itself out after a short time of using it. I recomend it, however I donot have experience of the other systems, so I would not be able to say which one is better. I personally like having everything in one place.
Hello;
I purchased the HTC Tytn II, I not received it yet , I have a Hermes and a Wizard, I have a bluetooth gps that I use in all, those phones and my laptop, I was thinking to sell my wizard with the bluetooth gps to a friend but, Can I use the Tytn II as a bluetooth device in my laptop or in my Hermes?, if not I cant sell my bluetooth gps. I use in my MicroPC Microsoft Streets and in my Hermes i-GO. Can I use i-GO with the internal gps of the kaiser? What is TouchFlo? Thank You and sorry if that questions are answered in the site, I did not found them.

If I understand you correctly
1. you want to know whether you can share the GPS receiver in the Kaiser with your laptop - Yes but you will need something like Franson GPS Gate to share the built-in GPS signal over activesync or BT.
2. Yes, iGo works fine with th internal receiver.

Yes, you understand me! Thank You!!!
Do you know what is TouchFlo?
TouchFlo is the finger scrolling of menus and panning pictures and web pages. It's inlcuded in the Tilt ROM.

Where in Tilt?
thanks
Just wondered if anyone had a Tomtom 720 that they link via bluetooth with their Tytn II? Essentially although there are no probs linking the two bits of hardware together, it appears that no one can hear me well at the other end on a phone call. I have to shout like a madman (even when stationary) - although I can hear them fine. This also happened with the Tytn, so ended up never using it as a hands free....
I'm asking the question here because I get the run around from TomTom, who say..."Is your phone on our supported list...blah blah" - but what bugs me with this Tytn II is that it's suppose to run TomTom, so why doesn't it work with their hardware????
Any help from anyone much appreciated.
No solution for you, but:
I had a 910 that would connect for traffic, weather and eMail, but had the same problem you are experiencing with 'hands free'. I can hear them, but I have yell for them to hear me.
Now, I am on a 720... Hands free works perfectly, but it will not connect to the internet, weather, traffic, etc.
And, like you, TomTom is no help.
If you find a solution for me, please drop a line.

Hi all,
I bought Samsung i780 but I sold it immediately because (even if my was an HC1 release) it have an incredible number of bugs.
Now I like to buy Kaiser but I like to know if there is a particular version without bugs... is there??
Also, does anybody compared headphones output between Kaiser and HW6915 from Ipaq? Ipaq has a great volume (I use it as mp3 reader in my car)! Is kaiser high enough as ipaq? My previous qtek 9100 was not!

It all depends on what you want to use it for...
Kaisers do have bugs, primarily on video playback and game playing but for business use they are fine.
Audio playback is OK but some have problems with skipping on bluetooth devices.
I don't think you'll find anything to match an iPaq audio output, I still have an old iPaq 3870 and it is EXCEPTIONAL on headphones and never found a unit to beat it.
My IPAQ hw6915 is really good. I need only to change it to have HSDPA connection that is needed for my job.
I use the pda for:
- mp3 player in car
- tomtom navigation (with gps included)
- mails
- sms
- phone calls
- calendar
- some videos
so sure for a business use.
The problem is that if I have to buy 700€ of phone I don't like to see bugs!!!

How come yoy folks are reading here if you find Nokia and/or iPAQ bugless?

Because thats what XDA Devs is all about!!
Fixin EM with a big can of RAID!!
So..
please give me an advise on what version of ROM to look for before buy it!
i recomend looking at the rom development board before deciding for yourself as we all prefer different roms and the need for other things
i for instance havent changed my rom at all just added things to it to make it easier to use and i think my device is ace. kicks the crap out of and i phone anyway
btw anyone kno if the i phone 3g has video calling (2nd camera cant see it on the apple website theve made all pictures so you cant clearly see the top of the device it must be embarassment
Hi.
I've used 4-5 GPS apps and I couldn't find option to set a sound (in my case beeping sound) when I gain vertical speed. I wanna use my tilt like a paragliding variometer cause i can't look at the phone and enjoy the view .
So is there app that have that option or could you make one plz.
You can search on youtube to see how variometer works.
A paragliding variometer can have up to three ways of letting you know your vertical speed. Audio sound, digital readout or analog clockface. Some varios are quite basic, like the simple audio-only vario with nothing but an Off/On switch.
Let's have a quick look at each type in turn.
The audio sound indication. If you are going up faster than a pre-set value, you hear a beep-beep tone which increases in pitch the stronger the lift is. Different models have different sounds. Some of them have a sink-alarm as well, warning you with another sound that you are sinking faster than some pre-set value.

The TyTN II is missing the hardware required

Firstly welcome to XDA-DEV arminf! I know exactly what you're after but the HTC TyTN II (and consequently also the Tilt) isn't equipped with enough hardware to be able to do that. There's no Barometric capsule to sense changes in air pressure and no accelerometer so it's no can do using just the phone. Interestingly the Tomtom Navigator version that came with my TyTN II has a setting for which units pressure is to be displayed in (but it has no way of getting that info). Maybe with future products if you let HTC know you'd like this capability included, they may listen (oh, and don't forget to ask for complete driver support while you're at it ). The Touch Pro has an accelerometer but I don't know if it's capable of sensing acceleration in the right plane and whether it can be harnessed using software for this specific purpose.
Surely it should be doable. GPS gives your 3d position, so all software has to do is give compare the positions and times of two subsequent positions to work out the vertical speed.
It should be quite simple for someone who actually has a clue how to program for Windows Mobile

Wow you are really into variometers , and i know that Tilt doesn't have Barometric capsule, but I was trying to improvise with GPS. So i just need that beeping sound on some GPS app when I'm going up

Keep in ming though that the GPS inside the TILT uses a perfect sphere model for the planet (AFAIR). So it is possible that you will get a number of false posities/negatives on an extremely uneven terrain...
But yes, in principle it should work.
TyTN II hardware still not up to the task
Whats needed for the intended purpose is something that reacts instantaneously (or very close to it) and with imense accuracy to sense when it's rising or decending and at what rate. If the device is to slow or not accurate enough (and I believe relying solely on the TyTN IIs GPS would present these issues) then you'd end up flying right through the thermal and out the other side or through the ridge lift and into the rotor etc.
When I first bought my bicycle and was looking for a GPS device to go on it (before I bought my TyTN II) I was looking at Garmin pocket GPS units one of which had an aneroid capsule built in. I checked their website and this model is still being sold and this is what it says "For extra-precise climb and descent data, Edge 305 also incorporates a barometric altimeter to pinpoint changes in elevation." Having used the TyTN II's GPS with TomTom Navigator, Google Maps and Microsoft Live Mapping, and seen how it sometimes struggles with basic 2 D mapping, I definitely wouldn't trust it to be up to speed in what the OP wants - irrespective of what software is coupled up to it.
