gps software?

I own both teletype pro and iguidance niether software will run on my diamond.
Any sugestions or experience with this could be helpful. Thank You

You actually have a diamond? I am surprised considering they havent been released yet and currently you can only preorder them...

many people already own a diamond (including me ) they are ways...

navman
navman 3.5 works fine on my diamond..
hacked version i think.. got from friend for testing purpose..

@jeemahn I've got my hands on a demo of Tom Tom...
I'll see how it goes... So far it runs I just need to get out of the office and give it a go.
Thanks for the suggestion of Navman, I may have a look at that.
@rafiki6 Yes it was delivered to me yesterday by pdaplaza in canada.

tomtom 6 works just fine. recommended. tomtom 7 for windows mobile should / will become available soon.

I finally had a chance to get outside and tryout TomTom6 and it does indeed work.

i use mapking r12 works great, com4 57600 works great.

yes, I am..
tomtom 6.032 / AU maps 6.75
gps settings: other NMEA, COM 4, 2400 bps. first gps fix takes a while - 3-4 minutes. second is a bit slow - 2 minutes or so. I have compared navogation to tomtom go 730, Navcore 8.002 / AU map 7.20.
tomtom on Diamond lagging a bit. approx 2-3 seconds behind the tomtom GO unit.
while tomtom GO seems to display current speed quite accurately, tomtom 6 on Dimaond tends to be late few seconds. i.e:
at red traffic light tomtom go already at 0 km/hour speed, but tomtom 6 on Diamond will come to 0 2-3 seconds later.
I have tomtom 6 installed in main memory. map is recognised. Also no probs with BT paring to tomtom GO.

btw tomtom works awesome on the diamond....awesome

I have tomtom. I seem to remember it being rather slow until I turned the POIs off. Then it ran muuuuuch more smoothly. (Just a tip if you think its running slowly...)

if cicats has a demo version of tomto why don't you tell us a bit more about it (version etc ) also does it have map share and what version of map r u using ????

it is version 6 of TomTom but the map is just a taster map so map version is pretty irrelevant. If things work out and I buy it I'm sure I will have some detail.
I don't know what Map share refers too, this is the first time for using TomTom.

So did you have to do anything special to get it running? I've got a real version of Smartst 3.5 for my HP2210 and it installs on my diamond but won't run - complaining about needing to be activated and Smartst desktop activation fails with an E00068 error. I've copied everything I can find from the version running on the PPC and still no luck as yet. Other GPS stuff like NAVGPS & GPSDASH2 all work fine.

Google Navigator

I was wondering if anyone has used or tried Google Navigator? The verison i have keeps crashing and i wanted to see if anyone knows of where i can get the new verison for it at? To me when its working its alot better than google maps. Just wanting to get it working.

Is there any way to "pre-download" maps for someone not on a data plan? I would love this!

You could possibly share with someone that has the maps already downloaded

Google Navigator v. 3.8
Yes, I purchased google navigator several weeks. I think it's up to version 3.8 now, which is pretty good and becoming more stable. It can be purchased here - http://www.pdafun.net/buy.htm
dealwagon,
As far as "pre-downloading" maps for offline use., that's a no go and not an option for Google Navigator. Your best bet is using Tom Tom, iGo, Garmin, etc, that uses phone's internal gps. You may want to check this out though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340667

Google Navigator 4.2
WARNING:
NO WAREZ OR WAREZ OFFERS!
THIS IS YOUR FIRST WARNING AND IVE SEEN YOU ASKING FOR V4.2
STOP ASKING/OFFERING OR I WILL BAN YOU FOR A COUPLE DAYS

4.3 is out and about and yes I have it....... Its hard to believe but.... I actually have a legitimate copy which I paid for!! My new GPS antenna for the Kaiser should be here tommorrow or Saturday. I am getting 7-8 satellites right now, but hope to improve it with a external antenna..........
I got hooked on the Google Navigator when the guy I bought the phone off of sent me a DVD with 4.3 gigs of applications on it for the Kaiser

Guys if you have to purchase this software I wouldn't mention sharing stuff on here because that might be considered warez and will get you the banhammer from the mods.

Working on Diamond ? MobileNavigator 6 Software European Edition für PDA

Hello !
I read now hundreds of postings but I did not find the proper Question. So Senior members please do not writing your obligate "SEARCH FORUM" Message - this seems so rude !
OK. I want to buy a complete legal Navi Software for my Touch Diamond.
TomTom 7 seems not to be legal.
Now I found the Navigon solution:
Can any body tell me if it is running well on the Touch Diamond ?
Thank you
Marcus

It works, but it is too slow IMO. I was a fan of Navigon since Navigon 4 (3 yrs ago), switched to iGO and wont go back to Navigon !
I dont know if it's because of the screen (VGA) but it takes ages to move the map, compute routes, etc. They seriously need to rewrite their software if they want to compete with iGO.

Why do you say TomTom 7 is not legal?
You can buy and license TomTom 7 just like any other piece of software. I'm guessing you're German or in Germany so TomTom 7 is probably a very good idea for you because the maps are excellent. I would also recommend Garmin Mobile XT as this also has excellent maps of Europe.
Cheers!

Good Morning
yes I am german.
So, the Navigon is not running well on the Diamond - what means too slow ?
Unusable. Is the hardware proper used - the gps internal device and the vga display ?
You tell me about different software but I searched the web and did not find working legal download possibilities for those programs.
TomTom:
I wrote to TomTom and they told me that they do not sell the TT7 right now.
If you take the program from another device it is not legal, because it is oem and bound to that device !
If some one can post links from webshops of other software vendors for navigation software it would be great
e.g. Nav n go
Best regards Marcus

@mkhattab
where can i buy it legally ?
thanks Marcus

I NEED GPS software, but which one??

Yes, I know there are several threads out there asking which is best, prettiest or whatever, but, I have TomTom installed on my Tilt with a flashed rom, but everything I've read says that TomTom will not be issuing US maps with version 7 and later. And then I read that Garmin XT has caused a lot of problems on phones. IGO is expensive. So, what is a Tilt owner to do?!?

I personally use Tomtom7 and iGO8 (mainly iGO8 which works awesome with TTS). You're other choices are Google Maps, Windows Live, Garmin, and a few others.

His next question I'm sure is where did you get your v7 maps, or how did you get v7 maps...
and of course, we only want to know LEGAL ways to do so.
I personally own TomTom Navigator 6, and I love it. I've got maps 6.010, so I don't think I can use them on TomTom Navigator 7. They are up-to-date enough for my driving, but I wouldn't mind the ability to update/edit maps in 7, and the ability to change the 'car' would be fun too.

I like iGO8 too.

IGO8 for me too. I used to use Tomtom all the time but their maps were not the best. IGO8 maps etc. work much better for me.

google?
Google maps?

Navizon is good. If you want vocal turn by turn directions, Nav4All is free.

The problem with IGO 8 is it's huge. The maps for Europe are 1.5gb - which is about 1gb more than I can spare

I was using iGuidance on PDA Mio DigiWalker. But version 4 doesn't work on HTC TyTN So after some tests found OnCourse (based on iGo, but have better features). Hope iGuidance newer version will be much better so I can use it again on my TyTN.

Yesterday i installed TomTom and IGO8 and they both work brill they both have there advantages but the IGO does find the GPS a lot quicker if you do a good google you can find everything you need

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I'll try the new ones, and see which one fits my needs the best.

i use tomtom navigator !
works great !

How did you get the US map? Version 7 doesn't have US maps that you can buy, unless you live OUTSIDE of the US!

I use CoPilot 7 and have found it to be very good.

Since you're in the US, Street Atlas 2009 is on the cheap side but perfectly usable.

I have used both TomTom 7 and Garmen XT in my 8925 (Tilt). My choice..... the Garmin XT.
Tom Tom was fine but the maps are out of date unless you live in Europe. The US maps are still in 2006 and TT isnt sure they will be updated given the huge hacking of their TT7 by US naughty boys....
Ill put my Xt against any TT7, and I will win. The down side to the XT is there is no qwerty keyboard lettering which drives me nutz!

Ive been running my G-XT for awhile now without any issues what so ever. Me likie my XT. I also ran the TT7 but dumped it because of the poor outdated maps.
Expensive? $00.00 for my XT.... "The truth is out there."

I currently have installed and working with US maps:
Garmin XT 2009 V5.00.20wp
TomTom 7.910 (9185)
iGO8 8.0.049545 June 30 2008
Navigon 7.31 build 137
I am a GPS junkie! I like them all for different reasons.
Navigon is the most aesthitic looking program and Reality view is awesome.
iGO8 and its true TTS is great and a very user controlable interface.
Tom Tom is a great all around application and works well.
Garmin XT has a nice UI, easy to use and the ability to load smaller map files rather thatn the entire US.
Hopes this helps. You should find something you like. If you need anything let me know via PM or IM if you see me. Kevin

Two words: Bit Torrent. No, I won't tell you the search terms, or where to search. (I won't put it on my 4shared either).

I like Garmin Mobile XT. So far its better...........

Navigation

Hi everybody,
Im looking for an navigation app, like tomtom, but my problem is, the copilot and telenav are not avaliable to me, on my country, so, im searching for an app that works with offline maps, hopefully ported from another plataform, maybe winMO.
If someone know one... plz post it. Thx in advance.
(Sorry by my english )

By "not available", do you mean not available for purchase? Or do you mean that there are no maps for your area?
If simply not available for purchase, use market enabler.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any nav program with maps that cover brazil...
But about market enabler...

I recommend sygic too, I use it with BR maps and it's ok.
Ndrive works too, and it's a lot smoother than sygic, but the final version is not out yet.
I looked for every navigation software available for android and only cygic and ndrive works in BR. And yes, they are expensive

there are waze.com, I don't know if BR maps already includet, but averyone can edit and record every street all over the world, its open for worldwide, it's free, open source, read more at waze.com
