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
enjoy!
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.
Link: http://www.xcsoar.com/
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.
can anyone give me an advise on which navigation software I should use on my kaiser? I tried tomtom already but didn't like pretty much.
thanks

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.
Cheers

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
Raj..
Nav N Go, the makers of the iGO mapping solution just unveiled iGO8. iGO8 is unique in that it provides not just 2D and tilted 3D maps, but realistic 3D maps with building renderings in select US cities. Of course, not all buildings are rendered, but it looks realistic enough to actually help guide you along the way, especially in busier areas.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUzQkR0H2S0&feature=related
Anyone know how to make skins for the igo8 final? or if tmc works with the tilt
If it does run, it will probably run like cr*p in the 3D view w/o the display drivers that the Kaiser lacks. Regular TomTom is bad enough. My old Axim X5 runs it smoother than my Tilt!
Got it running looks nice but struggles like hell on certain parts and when you have loads of buildings showing up its working hard. I still use tomtom still.
i have it.
I have installed I Go on my Kaiser.
Works a treat and looks great. I think it is as fast if not faster than TomTom.
and i love the TEXT TO SPeach when it says the mane of the road, not just turn right. The 3D mountains look great as well.
PS i dont work for I Go either.

The iGo clearly does not come with spell-checker ;-)
iGo8 - 2008
I've just installed iGO 2008 ...
For a couple of reason ... firstly, to watch the 3D buildings everyone is raving about and secondly, to see if it will run on the TytnII (since the official site states it can).
Verdict:
Yes, iGO8 2008 does run on the TytnII and better still ... unlike the previous version, it does not object to HTC Home engaged in the today screen
The initial menu screen is split into four boxes, 'Find', 'Route', 'Manage' an 'Setting', with soft buttons for 'Map/Cockpit screen' and 'Exit'. The navigation screen is also somewhat different, almost like a flight sim cockpit view. The SD card directory structure has the buildings held seperately.
GPS locked on quickly and auto-set to port 4 but with a high baud rate .. this can be changed though, since I found Tomtom wasn't a huge fan of fast baud rate comms to the GPS.
Some nice features like a menu shortcut to add 'speed camera locations with speed limit reference' on the move, and verbally announcing the GPS dis-engaging ... it's early days and I'll feedback any major issues, but if the gossip that Tomtom are going to discontinue the development of Tomtom for the PDA are true, then it looks like iGO will be the way to go.
I've enclosed a link to the manual if anyone wants to look at it [from the official site @ 1.4mb]

Thank you for your feedback and I do like igo8 alot better then the old igo. But I wish they will add more building for the usa maps
Hi all,
I made a data.zip for IGO8 which is working with rezolution 240_240 - http://rapidshare.com/files/115724040/data.zip.html
It isn't look like the original ones, but this is just the beginning.
One bug - after pushing the button Set point as a final destination on navigate screen the program shows an FFUI error - press OK button and everything will be OK.
I'm starting to fix size ot some menu bottons and to improve the skin at all.
Everybody who like to help is wellcome.
Enjoy
outlook contacts
when i put mine outlook contacts in mine phone abouth 200 pices i wil get a error when i start igo8 when i remove the contact's from mine phone all works fine
i did try to remove htc home i won't work
when i put mine contacts on to mine sim it works all fine
i have software NoThrills_WM61_NLD_V3 on mine phone
rom version 3.14.172.0.nld
radio version 1.65.14.06
can sombody help please its to strainge
or is there a good software version that wil work dutch software is no pree
As a dedicated Tomtom user I decided to load up IGO8 and have a look to see how it was and so far I am pretty impressed.
It certainly picked up the GPS signal a lot quicker than Tomtom 6.032. It was very accurate and I like the "You are speeding" feature.
So far I have not had Text to speech operate, not sure why, might be the maps here in Australia.
I would like more choice with voices (I tend to like John Cleese in Tomtom).
It is a real memory hog though, I only run a P3600i and when IGO is running I have 3 meg of free operating memory so it really isn't practical for me at the moment. Maybe whn I can get my hands on the HTC Diamond.
I will give more feedback once I have used it a bit more.

I forgot to mention in my ealier thread
... I decided to try out the 'practical' side of the iGO and engage the voices whilst being a passenger in my Wifes car on the Motorway (autobaan/freeway)
... My Wife was not a happy bunny to hear a complete stranger out of the PDA telling her she was speeding !!
I'll have to find out if the software has a 'don't p*** your wife off' function ... mine took years to perfect
I too stopped using TomTom in favor or the latest iGO, the speed warnings, the reading of the street names and not just simple "turn left or right", the buildings and ofc, the 3d terrain is what for me played the major part in swapping over, being able to see if I should be going up or down, below or above another road, is really helpful in new places.
iGo runs fine on my kaiser, up to 3-4 building in medium distance works fine, more then that and it begins to struggle, but, since there aren't many spots with buildings displayed where I drive everyday, it doesn't really bother me.
Oh, and for the dude who asked, TMC doesn't obviously work since we got no FM tuner, and there's no TMC over the interweb in iGo from what I can see
error
i have install igo8 and found these issues.
when i exit out of igo it changes my volume to mute.
when i change the time zone it does not save and it changes the time zone on my device.
The timezone issue is known and their site as a really good explanation on how to fix it, all sites should be searched, not just this one
Just add this to your Storage Card\iGO8\Sys.txt
Code:
[timezone]
sync_os_timezone=0
reset_os_timezone=0

I know that there are version 7 maps for USA available including 3D buildings etc. but not v8 as yet.
I don't think this would be a problem as I've had iGO8 on v7 and v8 of the UK (with buildings) and they both work, so the answer would be yes, but not up to date maps.
Demo - There was a beta version that expired 1st May 2008 or there abouts.
** Note ** USA is available as individual 'States' and not in a single package like Tomtom.
So has anyone been able to get V7 US maps (state-by-state) working on V8 Final or was everyone who's had success with the At&T Tilt (seen a few Tilts in signatures) using the beta version?

I ended up ditching IGO for miomap. Runs faster
I've been using it for a week and a half now and I'm going to say that Igo8 is the best out there. I love it. It works better and faster than tomtom. Also the 3D buildings look fine and perform fine on my phone.
So, what is the best app to use for geocaching on the Diamond ?
Are there any as good as (GUI is horrid though) Geocache Navigator that will also look up nearby caches and download the infos while out and about ?
Been using GN on my N95 and its not too bad - just the N95 is ugly as sin and you have to hold the thing with the slider open in order to get a signal
Any sensible advice would be welcome
cheers
none that has the same features.
I use BeelineGPS but it lacks in functions.
I would love to use something similar to GN in a WiMo device. The closest I know of is GeoScout but i have not tried it on the Diamond.
http://navstation.co.uk/
Excellent thanks. Will check out GeoScout.
Looks interesting at a first glance.
Try Cachewolf.
It even syncs with geocaching.com
And its open source
Just bumped into this one
Dunno if it is any good as a dont geocache.

Does any one know what is the best graph calculator for a HTC Touch Diamond Pro. I'm currently going to school and need a Graph calculator, but why should I pay more money for other device if I have a mini computer. I don't care if I have to pay for the software, but I just want to have it on my phone. Thank You.
RdCalc - Graphing Calc
Search for RdCalc
This is all you need if you are willing to pay: http://www.spacetime.us/pocketpc/
It has more than you will ever need. I don't even use 80% of the stuff it has. Its amazing.
I'm using HiCalc, Winner of 2007
So far, i'm very satisfied with it

2nd! I bought this when in version 2.x and have not been able to live without it since. You can take your TI-86,89,92 and put them on the shelf when you have this app. It is excellent.
I recommend the following:
VTI Pocket Emulator
Do you use the TI-89 calculator? I have the actual TI-92plus so I found this calculator fab.
I have not used the 89 for more than a few minutes here and there. I cut my teeth on a 86, and had a 92Plus until someone felt they needed it more than I did. Emulators are fine, but honestly I had no trouble moving over to Spacetime which was designed to run on Windows Mobile. Emulators are typically more trouble than they are worth, IMNSHO.
Just remember, if you are going to high school now (which I presume, in the states), you will need another calculator later for the sat's (or whatever you take). You can always borrow your friend's, but make sure you know how to use it!
I am just a bit past the high school level as I have acquired a terminal degree in chemistry, and it never ceases to amaze me that even advanced college students with very expensive and capable calculators fail to employ them correctly resulting in poor scores. While in graduate school, I had occasion to teach and grade quite a bit and this was quite prevalent. g2tl makes a great point. No matter which route you choose, LEARN TO USE IT EFFECTIVELY. It will save you some tears in the months to come.
@g2tl,
I also have a g2tl.
Thanks to everyone who is giving me feed back. I tried all of them on my Htc Diamond Touch Pro
Spacetime - was not really user friendly and I couldn't figure it out.
HiCalc - This was very user friendly, but it is the trial version and wont let me use the graph section, so I can't really test it until tonight
VTI Pocket Emulator - This will not work on the HTC Touch Diamond Pro
This is one I found that is very users friendly Calc Pro (I gave it High rateings - This works very well with the Diamond Touch Pro, finger friendly.... but maybe (and I know it has to be me) I can't get it to change from F(x) to F(Y). for instance I'm trying to graph this problem and it will not work: y= 1/2 sin (x + pi) , y= cos 4x , y= cos 3x Those are samples that I could not get to work.. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, please if you can gave me help thank you again.
Never used that one... Good luck. Have you downloaded and consulted the manual for the application in an effort to solve your problem? It seems that this would be in the manual.

I found this program to be very very very excellent. Being an engineer it has many functions that I use frequently, such as solving systems of equations. If you have used any math programs before (such as Matlab or Maple or Mathematica) this is rather intuitive and the tutorials are excellent. Well worth the 20-40$ depending on what add-ons you get. This is definitely over-kill for your average calculator user. But if you plan to do any calculus or more advanced algebra (linear algebra, etc) I would say this is an excellent program.

Those are all functions of x. So in the case of:
y=1/2 sin(x + pi)
is the same as:
f(x) = 1/2 sin(x + pi)
As with a lot of math, you must learn how to merge different notations into the style needed. These equations say exactly the same thing they just look a little different.
Omg. So I just tried all of those in the thread and (according to my point of view since I'm 16 and in high school). I did not get SpaceTime at all. I was like wtf when I opened it =/ Will take some time to get. HiCalc is ok. Graphing is eh. Now Panoramic Calc Pro! Is the most finger friendly calc I've seen so far! (Ok, not including the buttons) =/ But navigation. The graphing is so awesome! I love it! It has the best graphing function use IMO (cause I couldn't get Spacetime to work). So for simpletons like me who only need graphing calculators, I would get the Calc Pro. It's worth it.
the VTI Emulator works on my Touch Pro just fine.
If you like HP calculators, go here:

Emu48 for Pocket PC and Windows Mobile (Installer) 1.16 is what you are looking for. Be sure to get the VGA skins for it.
Hi tylosaurus,
Where do i get the vga skins ??

Touch Pro or Touch Diamond? I wasn't aware there was a Touch Diamond Pro. VTI Pocket Emulator works fine on my Touch Pro and my professors doesn't even mind me using it.
Hi, sorry for reviving this topic, hop the mods won't kill me :-D
I just downloaded SpaceTime4.0
I fired it up, did the tutorial and I was just like WTF? This app is just insane!
Cuz you wrote that SpaceTime isn't free:
The newest Version seems to be totally free and simply can't believe it!
