Hi guys,
I have a couple of issues which need your helping hands.
1, Do you know where can I get the GPS turn by turn guidance maps for Persian Gulf Countries e.g Qatar, Bahrain, U.A.E? Rightnow, the only source I found is CleverMaps. However, they charge the hefty price ($179 for 30MB of maps!) not included the price of OCN5. Furthermore, there is no Kaiser in their compatible devices list, either!
Too bad is tomtom doesn't have these kinda maps.
2, What are the fonts and keyboard applications should I install to the Kaiser in order to make it displays and inputs Arabic characters correctly?
TIA.
I live in Abu Dhabi and use Garmin XT. You can buy this now on an SD card thats perfect for the 'Kaiser'
Also, Destinator do a PDA map program for the Mid East but it is not as good at recognising your location when off-road.
The Garmin XT SD card is available from most big electronics stores in the ME for about USD99.
They are both Enlish text but I think the new ME Garmin may have Arabic language files also.
Check out the www.persianforum.net forum, some guys on there may be able to help you.
Salam,
Tks for the link to persian forum, but i have difficulty to read & understand because I'm learning Arabic now.
May I ask you some more questions?
1. Are you running City Navigator Middel east v3 and Garmin XT ver. 4.10.40w? Where can I find Garmin XT in Qatar or I have to purchase it in USA?
2. Do you recommend any keyboard application for Arabic input?

Nav software for ME
TomTom none
Route66 but ME maps maybe 2006
Navigon Version 6 has ME maps and may be 2007, my choice BTW
Destinator 7 has ME maps 2006/2Q
Myeasynav works on WM5 with 2005 maps but not hopeful for WM6
Garmin products suppose to have up to date maps of ME guess late 2006,
IGO also have ME support not sure of date of maps but at least 2006
Note most companies don't seem to list ME maps on thier sites but they are available
Have a look at Dubai forums for Arabizer help http://mobilitydubaiforums.com/eve/forums/a/frm/f/6141068401

Thought this might be of interest to Cypriot Kaiser owners or Kaiser owners travelling to Cyprus
http://rapidshare.com/files/75278991/Pocket_Navigator_CY.rar
it's the new version of the pocket navigator. u can download it and then extract it in a new folder on your desktop. copy the folder (contains 2 subfolders and a cab) on your ppc. then ran the cab. only 2 languages (greek and english).
duff linky
oops. try now
hi,
Are we talking about tomtom navigator 7 for PPC right?
excelent news... are you using it? whats your opinion about the softwere?
cheers
Hi
This is a different programme from tomtom. It's called Pocket Navigator. I don't know which countries are covered. The specific link though relates to a file which contains the programme as well as the map for Cyprus. It works fine on the TyTN II and the Touch Cruise and another member has tried it on the P3600. It's quite good.
As far as TomTom is concerned I ve only used version 6.0.
A friend who has been using Destinator 7 though, seems to be very happy. He thinks it's more user friendly than TomTom.
Hope this was helpful.
I have just bought the Touch Diamond from Telstra in Australia. It didn't included GPS software like TomTom. Does Touch Diamond sold in other countries includes GPS software? Apart from GoogleMap, is there TOMTOM cab available I can download for free?
i live in italy, there i sno GPS software included.
but this is not a real problem...
TOMTOM software bundled with polaris includes only one 3 year old city map at your choice, not italian full country map. you are required to buy it from tomtom site...
TomTom is free, maps are cheap
Hello;
I bought Diamond here in Norway.
No TomTom, just google maps.
But TomTom is free ( www.tomtom.com )
And map over all Western Europe cost only 39Euro.
Downloading TomTom Home to my PC and then installing it on HTC is semi-automatic.

TomTom is NOT free.
Some providers buy e.g. TomTom7 from the company TomTom and include it in their rom. Like O2 germany. If you buy a phone from them, you will get it for "free".
You cannot buy it, as TomTom is not selling this version to customers.
TDO
Downloading TomTom Home 2.5 and connecting Orange (and maybe all variety) Diamond causes TOMTOM to offer a free trial of TOMTOM 7.9 with trial map and access to purchase others advancing the cause of those whose Diamonds did not have TOMTOM in ROM. Win for Diamond users. Win for TOMTOM map sales.
Sounds like very good news and TT actually applying some common sense for a change.
Does Home 2.5 work with Navigator? Previous versions did not and us PDA users were forced to use Version 1.5. It is for that reason that I did not instal it when it came out.
I have a legitimate version of TT6 up and running on my TD. Does this instal wipe any previous versions of TT off, or can both run together?
Can this version read version 6 maps - I would probably buy a Europe map but have a Southern Africa map I would want to keep in case I ever visit there again.
Maybe it's just because I live in Canada, but the only map I can download is the one free map. If I try to purchase a map via TomTom Home it shows none available. Kind of annoying since TomTom is pretty much useless if you can't buy maps. It does work for all the free voices and car images, etc though. Maybe I should have selected the UK as my country when I registered....
Tomtom Hone 2.5 encourages a connected diamond user to download working version of Tomtom 7 (v 7.90)for HTC devices which replaces extracted files from Diamonds with v7 in ROM. This allowed my access to previously purchased maps (v7.45maps) which wouldn't load with previous extracted versions of Tomtom 7. Home 2.5 has version for Navigator. Purchasing from Tomtom website for Navigator 7 leads to discounted 8.15 maps. Would assume these will work. My Orange diamond worked with maps of W Europe designated for O2.
The 6.75 maps will work with TomTom 7, I'm using them together just fine.
I'm using Tomtom V8 maps with Tomtom 7 no problem.
Worked for me. But does anyone know if this is a trial software, or the full version? I wouldn't want to spend $80 on a map of Australia, if the software runs out in a couple of weeks...
TomTom itself (the program) is free, its the maps you pay for, therefore it is a full version and will not run out.
Definitely full version. Can set to have cows mooing if speed limit exceeded. Tomtom will probably advise if v 8.15 maps operate if other site users cannot say. Cannot see why not as I am sure tomtom want map sales otherwise copilot will take htc users on. Home slightly slow to catch on to what you want . You may have to purchase maps from tomtom website and use Home to transfer to diamond rather than purchasing through Home itself.
I emailed TT "support" some questions about this and here is part of their reply
"Home is offering you this application in error. It is an update to the preinstalled version of Nav 7, so probably won't work."
So there you go - all of this is a figment of your imagination. It doesn't exist and if it did it wouldn't work anyway. And it is all your fault for wanting up to date software and maps from us.
Oh and by the way they also said that TTN6 is not compatible with my TD even if it works on it. I must get a copy of their dictionary to see what there definition of compatible is.
I am so glad that Tom Tom is back to its normal ways - I don't think I could have stood the shock of them becoming helpful.
Not complaining. Best example of unsolicited goods I've had in a long time. Is it tomtom's reluctance to preload in all markets or mobile companies wanting you to use their navigation system with costly data downloads?
I'm wondering what GPS Navigation app is best for Manila, Philippines. I badly need help with directions, and Google Navigation doesn't work here yet.
Any suggestion free/paid (preferably free, but I doubt there's one)?
been searching for something like this as well.... nothing yet. our only hope is to get garmin to release software for the android (since they are releasing the garmin phone soon anyways). i believe only garmin has maps for manila... but even these are probably not official since the garmin website doesnt indicate that they have maps of the phillipines.
Yeah. I have a Garmin device, but I haven't seen a good enough map. I think, there are good maps out there, though.
I hope, we can extract that GPS navigation app from Garminfone
Sygic has maps for Metro Manila only for the Philippines.
Im also searching something like this... software that could support Malaysia map... need a free one... had anyone tried IGO for android?
Kumusta mga kapatid, now I'm not sure if this does include Manila, I was too lazy to read through this thread, all I know is that its supposed to be international navigation, so its worth a try.

The best Garmin maps for the Philippians are free and located here http://roadguide.ph/Download.html#
Will install fine on a Garmin nav only device, winmo, symbian, etc but do nothing for any Android phone that doesn't run a gmapsupp.img, which is every Android except the Garmin ones, at this point.
i've been using the google maps navigation hack for use outside of USA. currently been driving in singapore and I use it quite frequently and it works like a charm. you may want to give that a try.
As long as you can find a suitable map file motonav will use it.
wow
wil try this.. hope this works on my diamond..
Use Garmin Mobile XT
Mga Pre!!!
The best GPS application I am using right now is Garmin Mobile XT.. Its really cool on my HD2 and i found updated maps for Caloocan area, every streets are updated.. Im also enjoying it here at jubail City KSA.. 3 Thumbs up!!
Sygic Mobile Maps
I have been using Sygic Mobile Maps 10 on my N1 for a couple of weeks now. It has a map just for Metro Manila, so just like MapKing the map area turns black as you leave the Metro Manila area.
I find it pretty accurate for Manila navigation.
Hello,
Please do share where you got your 'hacked' google maps navigation' and/or how you installed it. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, that hack won't work if Navigation isn't available for your country yet. I'm on CyanogenMod, and this allows me to run Google Maps navigation, but because there's no data for my area (Metro Manila, Philippines), I still can't use it.

can you give me link for garmin mobile
using papago .
sent from my satellite , s6xmeup
by using the Navdroyd, i get an accurate navigation in manila area and even outside of metro manila
try Navitel v3.5 or v5.0 (for Android), roadguide.ph had given a standard Philippine map on Navitel users, similar map being used by Garmin softwares. Works great on my GT P1000.
will google navigation work in manila? It sounds like the maps will load but will the navigation work?
it is true that the only program to navigation for WP7 is Navigon?
No, not exactly. Navigon only works for like 4 countries and if you look through this forum i think there are a few navigation apps out there.
Navigon works with every european country as long as you have the corresponding iPhone Navigon maps and with the rest of the world if you bother to read a bit and change a few settings manually

Thats true I am using it myself and you can get almost any country, however it is a free t-mobile app and it is limited to a basic format but its is functional and works well.

not true.
i have a Navigon select now and applied some maps from iphone (originally only four country available).
so i got all EUROPE where uk, france, belgium, netherland,germany and POLAND!!!
i tested myself and i'm glad to say that that all is up to date. sometimes better than tomtom maps in poland.
navi software is way whorse than tomtom but maps are great.

Does anyone know if we can take iphone voices pack too ?
I had no problem to install navigon and maps but I need french voices :/

You know, I prefer to measure with better than average.
tom tom is a mistake, still on Polish maps dont have some streets in Warsaw.
I'm also tested the Navigon and current maps of WP7 (iphone) are outdated.
if anyone can find an idea how to insert a map from version 6.5 or 7.4 that would be super.

Navigon will work on WP7, if you have the navigon maps of Iphone.
Ok so just to get it straight, if I want to use Navigon on my windows phone
I need to download the I Phone maps
(which aren't the same as the Android Navigon maps, currently Q4 2010 ? ).
Then I need to install the T-Mobile (light) Navigon Software i.e. without street-view and stuff (--> Were do I get this app, googled but couldn't find it)

There is a way although it requires more work. Just read the corresponding topic in the Windows Phone 7 general section of the site.
Didn't bother personally as I'm fine with both english and german voice guidance
I just installed Navigon and I've got 41 maps to boot:
Albania.map
Andorra.map
Austria.map
Belarus.map
Belgium.map
Bosnia and Herzegovina.map
Bulgaria.map
Croatia.map
Czech Republic.map
Denmark.map
Estonia.map
Finland.map
France.map
FYROM.map
Germany.map
Gibraltar.map
Greece.map
Hungary.map
Isle of Man.map
Italy.map
Latvia.map
Liechtenstein.map
Lithuania.map
Luxemburg.map
Monaco.map
Montenegro.map
Netherlands.map
Norway.map
Poland.map
Portugal.map
Republic of Ireland.map
Romania.map
San Marino.map
Serbia.map
Slovakia.map
Slovenia.map
Spain.map
Sweden.map
Switzerland.map
United Kingdom.map
Vatican City.map
When I installed a patched version, it immediately downloaded German, Austrian, Lichtenstein and Swiss maps. Fine by me. I added Luxemburg, the Netherlands, the UK and Belgium for now.
It's up for grabs on newsgroups.

Actually, Navigon / iPhone maps have better coverage than Polish famous Automapa. The number of POIs is also reasonable.
