hi!
What could be the best gps map software for United States that I shall install on my TyTN II ?
I would reccommed either Googlemaps , or Windows Live search. Live search has more options. but google maps i would have to say is better built
that's just too open-ended a question. take a look at tomtom and iGo to start off. otherwise, googlemaps and live search as stated already

Garmin Mobile XT is another good one. Tips on how to get past their SD card lock are all over the place now.
I downloaded TomTom Navigator in haste, but after trying Google Maps and Windows Live Search, I'm really liking Live Search.
Nav4All is a pretty good one, and its free
iGuidance or TomTom
The problem with googlemaps is no turn by turn and it requires a data connection.
Get something that you put on an SD card and be done with it
Tomtom 6 is the best one ever !!!, I've been sticked to this TT for a couple weeks. It's being worked w/ a charm an I am more than excited happy about it.
If you wanna install Tomtom as your master Navigator, get 2gb micro SD ready since the US data map cost 1.2gb in storage (because TT is an up-to-date in map fully details w/ lot of extras supported such as turn by turn various voices, very much of POIs, traffic alert, weathers ect, ect.....that make them big).
Once you have them you'll forgot other real none-Tomtom GPS devicessss (throw it way). Never pay a single cent for data plan through provider TeleNavplug service !!!
Anyone wish to play GPS on yr PPC(kaiser) ??? please pm or email me, I gonna help you out till you feel happy for it. Since, I spent a lot lot of time for this software minning (Tomtom 6 US data map, tomtom for PPC and .... activation code for it) I would only need a small donation of $10 for my time of searching and testing sucessfull on these good GPS stuffs. thanks.
Iguidance 4.0 for sure as this is the only software w/ TTS (text to speech) for PDA. It will pronounce freeway number w/ direction (N,E,S,W) since 1.0. 4.0 added TTS for street name. But it's a bit ugly and take 1.4G space for the whole USA.
TomTom is good looking and very easy to use. But it's voice prompt engine suck.
Garmin has the most updated and biggest POI database. But the software is quite buggy and hard to use.
Mio, best 3D engine and many eye candy, but it's a resource hog, buggy and always w/ problematic route.
MS Live Search/Google map, I really don't see how they can be use as GPS as it rely on data connections all the time. Who knows when I will go to area w/o any signal and I need GPS the most???

People, you could just save yr $10 if you spend sometime on google for all the softwares.
Tomtom's #1 EVER!
ok go for it, good day !
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.

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.
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.

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...
Hi
The mod has closed the TomTom thread below prematurely. I've tried to install TT7 on my diamond2 using a number of different cab files, but each time a message pops up cancelling the installation and tells me that my device is not compatible.
Can anyone direct me to a cab for TT7 that is PROVEN to have installed on a stock ROM diamond2?
Thanks
Stoatie
PS - the phone ROCKS. Touch flo much better and much more functional.

Hi, try searching for 'ttn7.9185 vga black.cab'. Looks like I might have caused some confusion with the other thread as its obviously the wrong resolution. I didn't realise sorry!
It does work though. Some of the interface is slightly stretched. I don't use TT so didn't really notice.
Apologies!
TomTom 6 does not work, it either crashes or the display is distorted.
I installed a TT7 cab from on these forums that works on the surface (when using a free map downloaded from tomtom's website) but screws up the navigation when driving.
Even if the version 7 cab worked properly there doesn't seem to be any way to get legal maps for it. My paid-for maps from my version6 tomtom are not recognised by version 7 and I have wasted £39 on new maps because Tomtom Home won't let me install them to my device stating that I have the wrong navigation software or something.

Exactly. Which is why at 11:30pm I gave up, consigned my TOMTOM, and the maps I'd legally paid for, to history and went to Handango and paid for and downloaded CoPilot. I heartily recommend it. TOMTOM are assholes. Sorry for the profanity, but they DONT DESERVE ANYTHING FROM US.
Chill...its a new unit...new software
Why should TomTom have to keep up with Windows?
Yes you paid but you paid for a product that worked for your previous phone.
I can sense your frustration but TomTom have no guarantee to ensure its products work with all products just like you wouldnt expect the first dos version of Pacman to work in XP/Vista
I'm sure they will in due time release a patch for it - and I'm sure a similar issue will occur in 6.5 and in 7 of windows mobile

It's nothing to do with the new phone. It's their decision to treat everyone like criminals. The last time I changed phone they made me wait 2 months before they would let me transfer the licence for the maps to the new device. This was Western Europe which I bought for a sizable chunk of cash from them. Their support is awful. The software itself is clunky on the device and terrible on the desktop. I just don't feel like devoting 2 days of my life to this everytime I get a new phone.
I have to say CoPilot has been a dream in comparison. It looks so much fresher and is so much more intuitive to use. Things like contact look-up just WORK, and it picks up the GPS position in seconds compared to the TOMTOM. Honestly, I've seen people saying the CoPilot routing isn't great, and I have to confess that I haven't used it for any challenging long routes yet, but I'm EXTREMELY impressed by it. It's built for Windows Mobile, and compared to TOMTOM, it shows.
Anyone who is thinking of plonking down cash for TT maps should instead go and download the CoPilot trial to have a look at it.

I got the touch Diamond version. You download 2 folders which you copy to the device, and it then kicks off the installation. I was worried cause I'd selected the Diamond version that it would install in main memory instead of on the card, but it gave me the same options you'd expect anyway.

Hi,
I have the Touch Diamond2 and the CoPilot 7 Touch Diamond edition. However, i cannot get the program to work.
1. I copied the entire contents of thd DVD to my microSD card and started the install (the copilot.wm6ppc.cab file in the 2577 directory).
2. It installs but when i start CoPilot, i get a "Unable to open CoPilot. Please make sure that the storage card is inserted or that the data has been properly downloaded"
3. After pressing ok, i eventually get to the 'Tips and Tricks' screen, then i cant use the screen to input and then forced to soft reset the phone
Does anyone know a way around this problem?
Thanks for any help.

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.
