On my Italian Kaiser I'm usin Igo2008 right now cause my TomTom lots of time doesn't syncronize street at real time (and few time I was wrong way LOL)...
In my sig ...
AdriaRoute is by far the best solution for Slovenia. It is quite precise when we come to streets and house numbers, customised POIs are nice add-on too. There are some drawbacks, but nothing serious.
Was using TomTom too, but its coverage is poor for our area, although there are some small areas with better coverage and details than AdriaRoute
I also like the response time finding an alternative way, way better than Garmin XT. New version solved this problem a bit, but still.
Both programs can read and speak Slovenian.
Depends on the country
I think this depends very much on where your using the device, i belive in the states theres some software called route 66 which is pretty good.. although ive never tried it.
In the uk i would recomend tomtom, this does have maps for most of europe as well, but like someone else stated the maps can be poor in some areas.
and if you don't want to srearch much and you want something free google maps mobile is you answer!!!
For voice routing/etc I use TomTom Navigator 6. It's great for where I am. I'm located in the US and I've used it in several states. Prompts, re-routing, directions, etc are all pretty accurate. I've used a few others but could never get used to it.
I also use Google Maps for quick location search, which works well on the device.
I use google maps, cause it seems like its the only one that
1. Is Free
2. Has maps for new zealand
Which one's are free?
I use both TomTom and Google.
For long trips I use TomTom, but local I use Google. I do like google better just because its easy to use and find food, and gas and stores around where ever I am, and also will import the info into my contacts as well if I need.
Am I right in assuming that Google Maps only does turn-by-turn which you must manually progress through your route?
I tried it out and this is what it seems to do...which is a nice program, but not exactly GPS software.
Am I missing how to use a feature of it or am I right in assuming it is basically like using the google maps webpage to get directions?
Oh I think I did know you can use the GPS to locate yourself to plan the initial route...but it doesn't track as you go, does it?
i'am in chile, and i use gps proxy with garminque and works perfect...
Yes Google and Microsoft Live both will route and track you on a moving map, but they don't have "heading up" and don't talk. But they are good free apps to keep on the phone for locating POI's etc.
In the US I prefer iGuidance v4 hands down because of talking street names, something few PDA versions have at the moment.
iGuidance ****
I have had good luck with iGuidance! link in my sig....
Heres an interesting test.
I just installed TomTom Nav6 on my TyTN II but the map seems a little outdated and I have no way of updating the map. If anyone knows how to for "free" id like some advice.
BUT...
I also have a new TomTom One that has the newest maps of North America.
So heres the question....
Has anyone tried to copy their North America map from an original TomTom One device and transfer it to their TomTom Navigator version on their PDA?
Is this even posible? Do the two devices use the same file format?
If so, this would be amazing, I could update all my maps with my TomTom One, and just transfer the files over to the TyTN II.
Wadaya think guys?
Careful, asking for "Free" maps is requesting WAREZ and can lead to a ban so consider this a warning.
As for your second question, it really depends on which version of TomTom you are running on your phone. Backup your current maps and give it a try.
im not sure he's asking for free maps he's just wondering if he can use the maps off is stand alone tomtom GPS unit for the Navigatror on his PPC and it dosent work I tried it a long time ago. Best option is to buy new maps.

Damn that sucks, oh well. I guess it woulda been worth a shot.
What exactly happens when you try to run it with the different file. Maybe someone can alter the file so Navigator will recognize it.
OR. Navigator might need more files than just the one Map file. Im not sure if anyone has any programing experience with TomTom, but theres always a way around everything
And agin I will remind you that asking to work around TomTOm's map security is asking about WAREZ.

im not asking for WAREZ...i OWN a TomTom one, I OWN at TyTN II. I OWN the software on the TomTom. I OWN the software on the TyTN II.
All i wanted to do was transfer one map to the other device if it was posible. What does this have to do with "downloading" cracks, hacks, torrents, keygens etc.
Last I heard trasfering files from two deviced that you own, along with the software on them, was legal. If im wrong for wanting to do that, I apoligize and wont mention "Warez" again. Sorry.
I think your best bet is contacting tomtom, and telling them about your owned software and whether they can cut you a deal
Tell them how you're a valued customer, how you might migrate to copilot or garmin, etc.

The reason why it is considered WAREZ, is because of the fact that if you do own the maps, you own ONE copy of it, if you wanted another, you would have to purchase it for another device.
been done
i'm not saying the transfering of maps has been done, i'm saying that this has been talked about atleast twice that I have seen. what we decided elseware was that it would be infringement on some copywrites and that it would not be done or talked about on here. I would say that since kyphur has given you two warnings you take our word for it. been tried, failed and even if it is done we will not let you know how to do it because that would be making us an accessory. google probably won't help you either sorry man.
You can run any tomtom map on your pda, but you will need a key to register the map.
And that software is illegal, but it is out there.

Not strictly true ..
Tomtom on the PDA is circa 6.032, and will run maps up to circa 6.75.
Tomtom One, Go, 3/5/7/9xx etc. can have their firmware / OS updated via Tomtom Home to version 7, this is not available to PDA devices - Only stand alone Sat nav devices.
The latest maps will only run on version 7 OS, and since you cannot update Tomtom PDA version 6, the maps will not work.
This is regardless of warez etc.
FYI - some files have different filetypes !!
If you read (on dubious websites) offers to install the latest maps on Tomtom, they refer to version 7 on version 7 stand alones and not PDA's
If you want the latest maps, get a Tomtom One (or Go etc.)
This post does not condone software theft !

Yeesh, relax, he's not trying to do anything illegal teacher. I suppose next we'll hear a lecture on how it's evil to make recordings for your PERSONAL use of music you already OWN and have PAID for, ya know, most of the time this forum can be so helpful, but at times like this, so annoying.
If he own a TT license he can use the upd. tools from the very comp he made this tread. Might be my bad english but I read that hes asking for a workaround on license not to get the ap. working. This board is never annoying, and if so (...) dont see any gun to youre head

How quickly a post becomes outdated.
It looks like they've packed TT7 with the HTC Diamond and it's working on the Kaiser.

I will be spending some time in Europe next month and would like to use some GPS navigation software on my Diamond while my phone connection remains blocked.
Now I know what you will say, "use the search!" I have. What im looking for is software not for a motorist but software for a pedestrian/tourist. I am looking for something that will contain top-down street maps akin to Google Maps, only not requiring a data connection.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Yeah, I heard of this pedestrian mode in tomtom, but I cant find any screens of what the maps are like. I would prefer a 2D face down map if walking
In TomTom (at least since version 5) you can switch from 2D to 3D mode and back. In 2D mode you will get the top down view you are looking for like http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v467/jonchoo/961678b0.jpg
cool. Will give tomtom a whirl if there is a trial version out there.
Anyone tried Google Navigator? Ive seen a few screenshots online (looks pretty good) but I cannot find out much else about it

Hello. I have been searching the internet, without any luck though of finding the programs i want.
First, i want a program, like ShopSavvy is for the Android, where i can use it on my touch pro to scan barcodes of products and find the best price.
Second, i am wondering if there is a way to have Google Street View on the touch pro. I have already seen KDKobes Google Maps Street View 2.3.1, from our forum. I was wondering though if there is an "official" or "fully working" program, as in KDJobes program unfortunately, location-data support and GPS integration aren’t working with this version of Google Maps.
Third, i want a program, like I-phone has, for Drinks (bartender?), same cool skins and graphics environment maybe?
Fourth, again like I-phone has a program where you record a song on the phone and then it goes through the internet and finds you possible matches.
Please, bare with me, as i a m new and maybe i didn't have enough luck or "easiness" finding these type of programs i want. Yes maybe i saw some "looking like them but weren't afterwards the programs i wanted, cause their functionality wasn't after all what i was searching for and was mislead by their Title Name.
So if you please know any "freeware/ or have to buy" programs that are exaclty as the one's i have described please feel free to post and tell me.
Thank you very much in advance,
Chris
let's see
1. barcode readers:
i-nigma barcode reader
QuickMark 3.3
Aura - but donno if this still works.....
2. Street view is officially supported by the latest Google Maps
http://www.google.com/mobile/default/maps.html
3. didn't heard of such a program for wm
4. i know a program it's called Music ID
hope that helps try to search harder next time
search diamond beer for a drink app that turns your phone into a glass of alcohol , if you mean a bartender then just do more searching also the site Fuzemobility.com is now your best friend go there all the time look at everything there . if you still haven changed ROMS on your phone i suggest you go get NRG's new winmo6.5 build 3.0 ROM . it has alot of improvements over the stock ROM , anymore questions just ask me
Is there an app that uses the GPS to track how much you've cycled and your speed etc? I think such apps exist for the iPhone but I'm looking for something for windows mobile.
gotta love fuzemobility lol

theres an app called track my run floating somewhere between here and fuzemobility.com
Just giving you a heads up don't go looking for everything that the Iphone has for your phone. Most of the time it will not be there. on to you questions
Shop savvy is a great program. Our closest thing is "Barcoroma"
Google street view. I use google maps from NRG'z Rom and I can get street view on it.
Drinks IDK your on you own for this one
Song recognition. Well try out Music ID works great for me.

Where does everyone go to get there the PPC software?
I go to http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php, although its not complete list and new releaase of an application can take a couple of days to make it to thier site. I find the site easy to navigate and search. The catagories and rating system help for filtering.

i suggest watching this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496880&highlight=drinks

Hello everybody,
lately I've been seeing a lot of stuf on navigation.
I've been using Mobile Map 9 for quite some time now. GPS signal is extremelly fast and so far it's clear nice looking (better then even TOMTOM).
Mod Edit :
Warez and XDA Dont get along well, so beware!
I have to say iv been using this aswell and the maps are great. Rerouting is very quick and all round nice experience.
I have notice though the interface seems to be a direct port from their java version. But i did speak to them this week and they told me they are working on a new interface for it at the moment. so it will be even better
Sygic Mobile Maps 9 is very nice, and my GPS of choice.
Is it in English?
@kizer it has a lot languages
the only thing i miss is to leave out streets of choice! thats what i love in tomtom
and i miss a no highway option that just pops up before i calculate and can be chosen at driving
don´t hurt me for my english i´m german
How does this compare to CoPilot Live 8?
does this save maps to the sd? what other features does it have
against copilot its much faster and i can hear musicstreams over 3g (via TuneWiki) while i´m navigating without any lag of a program and i can hear the voice verry clear even when i´m hearing music the same time
yes it saves the maps on your sd...
it does so much please watch out here

I would like to get this and try it out, I installed copilot, holy crap it's slow.
Hmmm, the purchase page says select region. North, Central, and South America. Funny thing is there is not one Central American country listed.
FAIL
Uploading.....
I'm uploading Mobile Maps 9 to 4Shared.
It contained the Program and the benelux MAPS.
Tonight I'll upload the keygen for Map Activation.

The MAPS are on the SD card. The App reads it from there.

Hate to break it to you, but this has *NOTHING* to do with the program you are running. *ALL* programs will take the same time to lock on to the GPS signal since the program itself has NOTHING to do with it. They call on OS functions to get GPS data.
If it appeared to take less time to lock on the GPS signal, then it is because the conditions just happened to be good for it.
I.e., clear sky, low/no foliage, possibly the GPS was already "warm", etc.
