is it posible to get talking street names for Tomtom7 on Tilt?
Hi
Yes I believe it is possible to have TTS on generic TomTom.
I have a small problem with voices. I am using a generic GPS with TomTom installed with 720.1868 version of Australian map installed. Works very well, but I would like to be able to have TTS. The version of TomTom supports TTS, but I cannot find how to instal computer voices, or find computer voices to instal, onto the Sd card. The original installation was done without using TTHome, so I have no idea how to use this, so simple instructions appreciated.
Thank you.

Well my room mate has tom tom 930 gps and the only voice in which he seem to get the street names is when he uses a particular voice, i have not tried that on my tilt with tom tom 7, i will try and put that voice on my phone and see if it tells me the street names and will get back to you
never mind just realised that the voices for tom tom mobile and tom tom stand alone gps are different.
Hi,
I tested the last weeks 2 Navigationsoftware the MN7 and iGo8 on my XDA Star (Dual touch).
iGo8: Speed, Clear interface
Navigon: Nicer Interface, better TTS, better routes
iGo8 Disadvantages: Teleatlas Maps if none leads me in my region on street are, whether to me also in foreign areas passed.
Navigon Nachteile: GPS Hardware settings manual, the double of space need iGo8 with same maps and tts.
I am gelegenheits Navinutzer, however, if I needs then I must be able to count on the calculated routes above all in Denmark and in the direction of Bavaria.
I manage with both well, and the prices also are quite the both. Can you express your opinion in addition? Or your experiences here reinschreiben? Thx...
Hi,
Please can you post in English, it is the agree language of the forum; google translate is fine if you need it.

i have an att fuze with RRE 4.5 rom on it with the newest igo8 version, and the 2008 q2 us maps, does anyone know how to get it to show the elevated roads in 3d mode? (like for overpasses and stuff). the new maps and igo program should support it but i can not get it to show that way? if someone could share a sys.txt or tell me a version number that works for this i would be very thakful
The 8.3 maps show limited elevation...that's one thing I miss about 8.0 maps...but the extra buildings are really nice to have...
so they probably only show the elevated roads in bigger cities with these maps im guessing? you wouldnt know how to get msnd workiinng in igo8 would you? i added the "msnd enabled" line in my sys txt and it shows up in main menu but it wont do anything more, plus i lose my exit button
Even in major cities I think elevation (bridges) is limited. I live in the DC area and haven't noticed any...
so you put in
[msnd]
enabled=1
?
Odd...
Okay I did a search and I have read all the tomtom vs Igo8 topics I am looking for a REAL version not a warez and with Maps that are supported and updated I can't even get maps for my tomtom7 PDA anymore (Unless I am just looking in the wrong spot, I have tomtom home Installed it says no maps are available)
It would be nice if I could try it out for a few days to make sure I like it before plopping down 100+ bucks When I do a google search for I-go 8 I get pages and pages of torrents and cracks and warezs but no site to buy a real version
Any suggestions (with links please)
I have the full streets and trips 2009 you used to be able to export maps from that to a pocket edition for pda I can't even find that option anymore (maybe I am just having a bad day)
US MAPS or Oregon
http://www.navngo.com/pages/global/eng/where_to_buy
first site that popped up when i put igo8 in google. i linked the where to buy section
i love igo8 and cant think of using any of the other gps programs
i have been using igo8 for a while now.
as much as i love tomtom, i prefer igo8 with TTS
I'd recommend Garmin Mobile XT. I ran TomTom 6, then TomTom 7 on my Kaiser. Wasn't that happy with it. I've looked over iGo a few times, I just didn't like that it wouldn't let me navigate to a contact. Too much trouble. Plus, Garmin lets me get important information like gas prices, etc., and I can do google searches through it.
That's just my opinion though..

iGo;
or iGuigance

I navigate my contacts with no problems...only prerequisite for an address is no apartment/suite number in the contact's address. You can also go into 'Manage/Geocaching errors" inside igo8 to check addresses that cannot be found'.
I like some features of iGo8 (TTS and how much you can customize it mainly), but I find myself going back to Garmin Mobile XT all the time.
1) Garmin's routes seem to be better for me.
2) If you have data you can get fuel prices (might be a day or 2 old, but is handy while traveling).
3) You don't have to worry about your POIs being out of date since you can use Google Local Search (if you have data)...its gotten me out of a few binds before.
If you don't have data, then I would say iGo, but if you have data, then the Garmin Online features makes it over the top for me and well worth the money.
Why to pay ? Everything can be found for free
TomTom in not good choise - interface/maps etc. isn't very good. Don't have same feeling when use garmin or igo8. Garmin is best, maps are awesome. I know that garmin interface is not so briliant, but it do the job.
Also and igo8 is good, especially interface & tmc service, but maps are awful. Countries like macedonia and balcan are not covered well.

Serbian map (last update) is pretty good now, though still noticeably worse than Garmin. TomTom sucks big time.
i'm using tomtom7 with no problems. have tried igo8 but seems too slow for me. have used garmin before on my prophet and it was good.
overall, i prefer garmin, since it can use non garmin original maps - you can even make your own customised maps or just search for them on the net. i used the malsing maps when i went back to malaysia for a visit. very handy
try Copilot..love it ..had it for last 4 yrs since the first..Vario..copilot 7 is even better
inav iguidance 2009
ive used tomtom, garmin, and igo8 before. non of them beat iguidance. iguidance will announce the name of the street for you. example, "turn left on Wall St." instead of "turn left ahead".
garmin xt is great. especially if you are looking for accuracy
go to pocketnow.com and check out urban horizon, they have a 14 day free trial and it looks pretty cool you can either use it with data only and not store maps. or you can decide to download maps to device by state or region. im about to test it out in a bit when i get the newyork maps downloaded
i love my sprint telenav, especially the new VGA one for the TP... =) graphics are 10x better and it supports all my needs "gas prices, hotels, routes, point by point directions, ect"... i have the everything plan so its included for free...
I use Sygic McGuider in my Toshiba(WM Standart). Perfect,multiplatform solution from Slovak developers,very nice voices,nice graphics,perfect navigation... I don't know,how are the maps in US,but in EU is it very good.
Dear All i just need to know what the best program GPS (tomtom.igo,germen...etc)
for wm 6.5 my device toch pro

until know 36 person just look , any one have answer!!!!!!!

finaly some one answer me , i was use IGO but was hard to me so i was look someone expirt can recomanded us
Love Garmin XT - pretty close on accuracy to my standalone. Very quick it pretty much finds everything. Has ability to direct call found places. The only issue with most phone GPS programs is they suck the battery dry pretty quickly.
I have TomTom 7.917.9186_vga_black ver, Garmin, IGO all in my sd.
Frequently use TomTom, simply b-coz of its custamizability ( voice, map colour, car, poi etc.)
BUT all three works well in my TP.
You better ask " best gps navigation Program"
There are more good gps programs other than navigation.
Used them all....
I've personally used them all, and I find TomTom to be the fastest and most reliable. It just eats away at your battery.
Maybe its just me ;-)
igo is great
hi all
i think no one know what the best program navigator can use
i was use IGO before and i will try to use TOMTOM
i will post feedback to who concern
i use garmin xt and igo8 ... but tomtom is good too. u have to try and see what fits u the best
tomtom or ndrive.
Both work for me.
If cost is no concern, I stand by TomTom being the best... But only if you pay for the monthly subscription on top of the software cost.. The live traffic with rerouting you... gas prices around where you are is very convient too (and yes, I know that Bing and otehrs do this too), newer version do that cool 3D buildign thing that igo does (but TomTom doesnt; crash every 5 min)... TomTom has all the cool voices to direct you (I personally love C3PO "You have reached your destination master" in the english accent ) It also has this cool feature that if you buddy has tomtom as well, and say you are at a concert to fair or some other large outdoor thing.. you can both turn it on and in teh "buddy" area you can both update your live position to eachother so you can meet up... I also find this handy when traveling to things with my family.. we each have tomtom on our phones. You can controll what POI's are displayed, and even download updated POI packs for free right though the TomTom software as long as your phone has an internet connection... You can get car Icons ro repalce the "you are here" arrow thing on the map... you can even take a picture of your own car and just edit the background out (but if you look online.. people have already taken pics of many many cars, I am sure you can find your right make/color . the driving map is a nice 3D style, which I find a lot easier to navigate than the Google maps or Bing... There is a Daytime/Nighttime button in the menu that changes all the colors on the screen to bright daytime or dark night time colors, right out of the box... you can custome either as well...
Sorry to ramble, but you get the point... While TomTom doesn't do much that you can't find in another program, it does all the best things in just 1 prgram instead of having to decide which of 2 or 3 other ones to use because you have to travel across the state, find some address you never been to before in a strange city.... You get hungry along the way for mexican food, on the way back you need to get gas and want to know what is the cheapest price that is along your route that you are traveling... TomTom just works, and is nice.
garmin xt FTW !!!
IGo is the best
i am from the tomtom gang
Garmin, chinga su madre!
GPS Software for Fuze
I've used Garmin XT since it was v4. Frankly, on my Fuze the 3d view lags (the 2d view does not) such that I typically pass a turn 10-20 seconds before it shows my car at the turn's location on the screen. However, the voice prompts are dead on.
Recently, I purchased CoPilot Live v8. It's a good bit less expensive and there is no lag that I can discover. It is not as feature rich as Garmin XT -- Garmin offers free live traffic updates; CoPilot does not. But CoPilot has a Live Search like Garmin's Google Search. And it finds fuel stops just as well.
I must say that so far I prefer CoPilot's UI. Finding a location is simpler by a few keystrokes. And it shows upcoming POIs clearly enough -- and with icons that are big enough -- that you can click on the screen and get more details in a popup.
I'm not sure that CoPilot's maps are any better -- or worse -- than Garmins' yet. I've read that CoPilot's maps are not as accurate, but I have yet to experience it personally. I'll know more after a few upcoming trips.
Even so, I'm not taking Garmin off my Fuze just yet.

The choice will very much depend on the quality of maps, available for your area. You would have little use for a good navigation software if the map it uses is very basic.
I have used them all. I really liked IGO but the one i find most reliable is Tom Tom. Good luck
I use a free app called Waze.
