Can you tell us what it was about TomTom that you didn't like?

Hi,
don't try Navigon MobileNavigator in the Kaiser. Navigon stops navigation if the GPS-Signal is lost (e.g. driving through a tunnel). In this case you get the message "destiantion reached" and Navigon just shows where you are.
In general I believe NAvigon is better as TomTom but not on the Kaiser. It works very well on my Universal.

Hi !
Correct... MN unusable if used in some tunnels (although it has a more professional touch).
I prefer igo... fast and usable and u can use skins.

Copilot Live 7 is pretty damned good.

Same here. I have IGO and OCN6, which is VERY similar to IGO. . . actually I gave my son the OCN6 and I kept the IGO for myself.

i'm using tomtom myself and i found it to be the best one for me...

iNav iGuidance V4
I have been using iGuidance since I got the Tilt and I have to say it is a good program. Menus are nice and easy to use on the go. Speaks the street names to you and will let you change colors and 4 different views. It is available on different torrents and it doesnt require any registration for PPC install. There is a certain way everything has to be done. If you are able to download and need hepl just let me know. Free is always good. Kevin

I Guidance 4.0 and MN6
Hello,
I guidance 4.0 is the best with TTS and pretty fast to load. MN6 is very professional but lacks the TTS and otherwise it is pretty good with live view.
Price does matter..
Thanks

Aviation GPS software for Kaiser

Hello all.
I have had my Kaiser for over a month now and I am VERY pleased with it. The only "little" quirk I have is that i really don't need TomTom.
Does anyone know of an "aviation style" GPS program that would work? I don't need street type navigation, but it would be interesting to test it against the systems we have in our aircraft.
Any help finding this kind of software would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dominic
'Aviation style' GPS software
Hi Dominic,
i'm using OziExplorerCE (www.oziexplorer.com) on my Kaiser and it works fine. I'm using this software since many years on all the PPCs i've ever used (and these were a lot...)
You can use your own maps and calibrate them with desktop version ov OciExplorer. Both are available as trial on the website. You will also find a number of maps on the web.
Regards
Waldi
Dominic,
I want to do the same
Try www.Pocketfms.com ... it is a bit complicated to install, and ... do NOT install too many FIRs to begin with.
You can get a 30 day trial version.
Thanks guys. I will try those 2 and see.
Dominic
I'm using CompeGPS Air .
www.compegps.com
It's quite easy to use and very stable with a lot of fonctionnality.
You can have a try.

You may want to look at some of these and evaluate. There are some nuggets here... some are free

Nice aviation software
there is a really good moving map application for free. It is calles xc-soar. It was written by glider pilot.. however it is a fantastic software.. and it is for free!!
I haven't had a chance to run it on my Kaiser.. however it works fine with the IPAQ 3870.

Is there any GPS mapping software that has the entire US preloaded? IE: you don't need to create localized maps. I'm not looking for anything high rez or complicated, I'm looking for something that will show me where I am in the US while flying. Maybe a simple vector map with major cities, statelines, etc. I fly commercial a lot and would like to track where I am in-flight.

Navigon 6 in USA

Is Navigon PDA software available with USA maps for Tilt? I have seen it advertised in Europe but it looks like it only has European maps and it also looks like it only works on WM smartphones (not touchscreens). Thanks
Yeah, but you have it misspelled. It's Navizon. It does work on touchscreen devices and is pretty decent location software.
http://www.navizon.com/
LOL, no its Navigon, the German maker of standalone GPS devices:
Navigon MobileNavigator 6
http://www.navigon.com/site/int/en/shop/consumer/mobilephones
Ah, I see, sorry for that. Their names are too close together...oh well, Navizon is still worth a look in lieu of Navigon.

I also have MN6 installed on my Kaiser.
But i have optimizes the startup sequence and the working speed.
Now it start in about 7sec
there´s a howto on the pockenavigationforum (German)
you can find it here
There is also an MortScript-Script ( ), what automaticily optimize navigon (take about 2-3min on kaiser) --> find it here
i can translate and post it here if someone need this
Anyone know if there are USA maps available and/or where you can get them if you buy the software?
I have the North America Map it's about 1.65GB for Navigon, it has nice graphics and also includes the original icons for Gas Stations, like chervron, shell etc...Restaurants as well and many other POI. I don't use it no more because it takes a long time to startup and sometimes it crash. I like tomtom better.

El Toro... How can I get a copy of this map from you? By any chance, do you live in El Toro California? I live in Irvine, and I could actually just meet up with you! And do you happen to have Nacigon Navigator 6? Ive been looking for this for ages! Anyhow, let me know if we can work something out!

It's damn slow on v5 too
Disabling sound has speeded it up a bit as well as disabling HTC Home, but I'd like to dig further and if possible speed it up.
Such as, how much speed would be gained by installing the software in the main memory compared to the mSD card. The map is 110mb so I don't really want to put that in main memory

I am only using WM5 at the moment, which is a tad out of date. But I would certainly consider upgrading to v6+ if possible. I sooo prefer this over MioMap or TomTom

I do recall some issues recently that there isn't a PDA version available in the USA. PNA yes, but not PDA UK does have the software available. One option would be to find out if you can use UK software and american maps.

What GPS software

Does anyone know of any other GPS software available for the Kaiser I'm currently using TOMTOM but was wondering what others were available. I need it to have UK maps and I also travel to Florida fairly often so maps for there would be nice too.
I dont want this to turn into another " What is the best GPS software" thread. Just what is available out there and possibly a link to trial versions (if your feeling nice)

Windows Live Search Mobile. Great software from Microsoft. Since you're UK based it has maps available for the UK and US. Hope you have a data plan though because it downloads maps on the fly.
I use a combination of tomtom, garmin,google and live search moblie....tomtom is more responsive, performance wise compared to garmin. Garmin is more refined and has some neat features.Bottomline, it all depends on personal preference.
Sygic McGuider
garmin seems nice. i know you can load your own custom poi's, and not be limited to 10mb like on a gps unit!!!
How about Navigon MobilNavigator.
I have been using it on my Kaiser ever since I got the Kaiser (I used it on a Herald, a Wizard and a Universal before) and I have always been very happy with it.
I find that the route planning is the best available.
Give it a try.
Good luck with your choice.
nebc100
I've tried a few different GPS apps and I think that the new iGO8 beats them all. Give it a shot... can't say anything about the maps in UK and US though.
Destinator...
Wayfinder - can subscribe to another country for a month or more.
did anyone had problems with wm 6.1 and igo 6 plus?
since i had instaled wm 6.1 (the official htc release) ..i couldn't reinstall igo 6 plus...
Yes

Totally agree, this is some great software, the maps are in great detail and the signposts/exit direction signs are lovely. Really easy to see. Then theres the TTS, best one yet - it actually says 'take exit off motorway, junction 3a' in a non robotic way. Its all good..
Google this - Sygic McGuider - and you'll find it..
I personaly use miomaps mainly becasue, you can put on whatever maps you want and all the United States are divided up. The program plus Florida maps is under 92mb
I use iGuidance 4, it gives you door to door directions and works well with my at&t tilt. I use GPS Utilities if I am out camping and hiking.
maporama is pretty good - used it on my i780
http://shop.maporama.com/index.php?cPath=43
but I use tt6 on my kaiser
My personal choice...
I've tried destinator, route 66, sygic...
was a staunch tomtom 6 fan until I got my hands on ;-) a copy of IGO 8 - it really has all the best features from all the other systems in one app. The speed camera support is phenomenal - if you pass the start of an average speed camera, it monitors your average speed and tells you if you go above it until you get past the average speed camera zone... and with static cameras, it only beeps if you're speeding, and keeps beeping until you slow down (Route66 is the only other that does this)...
There is also a Text to Speech engine (TTS) so if you want it to, it will actually speak the road names.
You can just copy the relevant files to your sd card and run it from there without installing it...
Message me if you need more info...

See this vid for the 3 best working navigation systems on Diamond!

IGO8

Nice initiative, but video is too blurry, I couldn't watch it all the way to the end. Sorry. =/
IGO8 Is the best navigation program for the Diamond. Any attempt to compare is useless.

I'm using Tomtom 7, tried Destinator 7 but didn't like it. Care to say what IGO has that makes it so good?
Thanks.

Any attempt to use IGO if you're in the US is also useless, unfortunately. Hoping they come out with US maps eventually. Until then, TomTom will do it for me.
tomtom for me
used it from day one on my diamond
does all i need it for
GARMIN?
Never heard that you could get garmin navigation on phones.
Out of igo and ttni'd say tomtom7 is still the best.
any ideas where i can download garmin? torrents or rapidshare appreciated.
I use tomtom
I´ve tried IGo8 but i think its kind of messy i can´t find the functions and so on....
tomtom is more right foreward

I've just removed iGo 8 and put tomtom back on as both have the delay, but tomtom is sooooo much better.
You can find Garmin on the bay, though its v4. If you want v5 you can pm me for a "secret" link.
Tom Tom's routing is better I think after trying both programs on my Diamond. IGO8 sent me on a weird route over the clifton bridge in Bristol which it never announced as a toll route the other day. They both have the same delay. Tom Tom is much easier to use and less cluttered but IGO8 does look nice with the 3D maps and the graphics in the menu system. Also the spoken instructions in IGO 8 are clearer and more concise than Tomtom.
So, if you want a navigation system that looks nice then go for IGO8. If you want to get to A to B with confidence, which is what these programs are all about then go for Tomtom.
In my opinion of course!

iGo Amigo for Kaiser

Does anyone have any experience of getting iGo Amigo working with their Kaiser? TTS?
works fine...
but i had to turn off "assisted gps" function. Not tried TTS.
Thanks rothod.
TTS is what I'm looking for. Can you try it?
Also, have you previously used iGo 8? If so, do you find Amigo better, or worse?
Works very well for most aspects. Updated graphics and new interface. TTS works perfectly. Major 'bug' of backlighting controlled by Windows with no override by program. Can use on 8.3 maps.

The display a bit more cartoonish - more like Garmin's than the clean iGo8.3. TTS a bit more precise in pronounciation, and more courteous - lots more "Please turn" etc. Too chatty for my liking.
Still prefer iGo8.3
Amigo has less options
Hmmm.. thanks lads.
Going to install iGo 8 then. This is what I've been using on my trusty (old) Mio 269+ for months mow, and I love it.
Was going to use Amigo on my HTC TyTN II (when I eventually receive the device!), but I think I'll put iGo 8 on it instead.
Anyone know how to get amigo to run from today screen if i copy exe to phone it will not load. cheers

IGO 8.3.2.64873 With TTS - OK
Hi all
I have the PDACorner X-V1 and I just installed the iGO 8.3.2.64873 with TTS files, and it seems to be working, I heard the TTS voice when I choosed my language, and iGO is now running.
I have both working on my Tilt fine. Amigo is nice, however iGO8 will still be my primary GPS program.
iGo8.3.2.64873 -
IS there a solution on how to make IGO find the satellites faster ?? i read many comments from others in this forum but somehow i could not find any proper answer.
IGO6 plus it is finding the satellites very fast when comparing these two..
comments/advice it will be appreciated.
iGo8.3.2.64873
