Free Off-Line GPS Mapping

I found another FREE app.
Nokia is giving away for FREE a GPS software that makes possible something that even Google Maps can't: off-line mapping with use of GPS. Online mapping is not a big deal because Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and others offer it too, but with smart2go you can use GPS in combination with maps even when you are not connected to the Internet!
Here's the link to the review. From there, you can go to the site......

Tested this on the N95 today and it was great, installed it on my Kaiser and it works well

I think this is much better than google maps. Gps located my location very quickly. Navigation is smooth and accurate(I think navigation lasts 3 days, I think). Very Nice me think

Thank you very much. Although I have a navigation software these cards are often better for walkers. That's why I installed Google Maps. Now I don't have to stress my free data volume so far.

I just wanted to Bump this. This is software is very handy, and FREE, and I didn't want it to get lost. Guys, you really need to try it!!!

I am confused as to what to do. I downloaded the software. But how do I get the maps on the phone?

seems to work fine on my att tilt (although i haven't left the house yet ).

you use your Wifi connection to download maps of the area you will going to, then, your phone uses it's GPS with the maps d/l'ed.

So am I correct in saying that as you surf the map using wifi etc. it stores the data on your SD card and uses it when you need it. So lets say you live in Louisiana, you can surf the whole state while on wifi or a router etc.. and it will store the map for later use??? is this correct???

seems like it still needs a data connection?
if youre driving, how can it use wifi if you cant connect to an access point?
that must mean it cannot download the map?

1. I go to ... http://www.smart2go.com/en/download/
2. select "Via PC"
3. all i am seeing is bunch of NOKIA softwares
the question is ... which particular model should we download for HTC? I selected the E95 model and I notice the file extension is slightly different, is "File: nokia_maps_1_0_upgrade_ROM.sis" instead *.CAB
any advise? thanks in advance.

It said to download the "Generic" one, that's what I did.
I am just not clear on down loading the map data!

so is this better than TomTom????
EDIT: never mind
"...although you can't do navigation (route calculation) for FREE with this program (Nokia demands money for that), you can however use it as a FREE map with GPS support!"

I have read a little more, will try downloading the map app

It's right there. The first option on that list is "Generic: Windows Mobile 5 Phone Edition".
And they also say: "Is your device not listed? Please choose the generic version for any unlisted devices that use Windows Mobile".

ok, I there has to be away to download a complete map instead of surfing the states to get some mapping data?????
Also were doesit store all its data?? I will look in the SD card.

Yes you can download the mapping data to your SD Card.
Use the mapping tool provided on the website.
You need to edit the qf file using notepad to say 1.3 rather than 1.1 or you cant do it.

I am downloading it now, and hopefully it is more accurate than google maps! BTW, is there any other gps software that i can use with my tilt??
Thanks.

Crap, i downloaded the generic version and i did not install on my Tilt. Any help??!!

so this is the only software that lets you use GPS without being connected to the internet?
i have the t-zone plan. it's probably too slow to use google maps gps right? or how does it work.. does it download ALL the directions at once, so that i would have to wait only 1-2 minutes max for each set of directions? or does it obtain the information right before i have ot make a turn and such?

3 (UK) MSN/Live Messenger on Kaiser

I am trying to run a 3 (UK) MSN/Live Messenger on my official O2 WM6.1 Kaiser. (The reason for trying is that with 3 (UK) the operator, your MSN messages doesn't count towards your data traffic; also I would like to experiment its battery drain compare to other MSN clients).
If I just log in Planet 3 (UK) (the 3 portal site), it wouldn't let me download its Live messenger client as my phone is not a compatible one. I changed my user agent string to SEW910i and downloaded the .jad file for W910i. I then removed the certificate portions (the last 2 lines) in the .jad file so that it can install on my Kaiser. It works but sometime the display is not quite way, but more importantly, only vibrate alert is possible but setting to Loud or Soft alert would still result in vibration only. I then modified the .jad file again so that instead of referencing the mp3 files from the 3UK website, it point to the local version (which I downloaded and place in the same directory as the .jad and .jar files) as:
AlertToneContact: online.mp3
AlertToneMsg: newmsg.mp3
However, it still doesn't work :-(
Is there anything I have missed?
May be I should have used the N95's version? Has anyone tried that before? Are they different? And what would be the best version?
Thanks!

SMS push on 3 Live Messenger
Also, one of the feature of the 3 (UK) MSN messenger which I Have tried on my other symbian phone is that even if the client is closed (not minimized), it can still be re-activated/re-launched automatically when new MSN messenges arrive (by listening to special SMS messages form the operator (3 UK)), if one didn't choose to sign out form the MSN server.
I notice in the .jad file there is such a line:
MIDlet-Push-1: sms://:3716, ui.Main, *
Is this a Symbian's Java virtual machine feature? Or is it a general java virtual machine feature?

can i have the oridginal file you had?

Any progress on this?
Im trying to get it to work in Australia, but the 3 MSN java app is running but i cant see it at all.

I've tried the same app and found it very flaky
I have another slight problem, can I ask you to check - I can only login to MSN on 3 if I have a 3g connection.
Where we live the 3g connection is flaky and it refuses to login to MSN on GPRS :-(
Skype wise it works fine (they offer free skype-skype too) don't use their java client, look on this site for instructions how to configure the PPC / Wmobile iSkoot Client :0 tested and it's not used any data allowance.

Thanks,
I already have skoot running using my skype call allowance.
My Kaiser already has Live Messenger, but not the unlimited one.
Was trying to get it running as a pet project.

I have just switched to Three UK PAYG and have been searching around a bit. I am running a WM6.1 ROM on a Hermes.
So far I have managed to:
1) Use HTC Connection Wizard (downloaded via CRC's Device Update) to set up the internet and MMS settings.
2) Run the 'Identify as N95 (WM6.1).cab' (thanks to sub69 in this thread. 6.0 and 6.5 versions can also be found there.)
This allows me to access the My3 pages at http://mobile.three.co.uk/hb/HutchKey
3) Install the 3 Live Messenger Java client. I am using the version 4.5, not the latest V5. Credits for modifying this go to therafiman at MoDaCo.
This is working with Esmertec Jbed, and is working for free as it is meant to.
'Windows_Live Messenger.zip' contains the .jad and .jar files, and only seems to work if both are copied to the phone and the .jad file is run.
The Java client is far inferior to the normal Windows Mobile Live client, but the normal client is not free to run. Additionally I have been unable to log on using the normal client over 3g. If I log on while connected to activesync or wifi then I can switch to 3g and keep it running, but this will be charging you.
I haven't looked at skype yet, because no one I regularly call uses it. However I have found these instructions which look promising despite the dodgy numbering system:
1) First you need to download the Iskoot version of Skype from www.iskoot.com. You'll need to enter your name & mobile number and select your phone type.
2) Once downloaded, install ISkoot on your windows mobile
3) Start up Iskoot but don't log in yet.
4) Exit Iskoot
3) Use a registry editor to change the following keys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ISKOOT\SKYPE\DEVICE to "http://mobile.three.co.uk/948"
BackupHost
CallUrl
DefaultSkHost
Pushhost (only if it exists)
4) Exit the registry editor and start Iskoot again. This time log in (mine logged in immediately - some people say their first log-in takes a few minutes).
5) That's it!. You can verify if things have worked by examining registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ISKOOT\SKYPE\DEVICE\Cal lNumber. If ok, this should have been updated to either "123" on your first log-in, then to a number beginning +44783833...
Once you've made a few skype calls you should see that your credit / call-time balance / data allowance does NOT decrease.

If anyone has any luck getting the V5 Java Live Messenger client running on windows mobile then please post, or even better would be configuring the normal live client to use 3's free service.
EDIT
I'm attaching the WLM V5 .jad and .jar files.
These are unmodified, and downloaded using the N95 user agent in the previous post. Maybe someone knows what they are doing to modify the .jad and get it working.

My post has an Alpha/Beta that needs testing for Android.
upon request it was re-instated, there is an official version out there but i didnt get it to work properly, so i grabbed the original Iskoot for Android (non 3 version) and modified it slightly to incorporate the 3 uk settings

[APP] Google Applications on the Fuze

So I've tried a ton of different ways to get Google Mail (Gmail) and Google Maps to work on this phone. It seems like all the links to download the actual app are dead (I get 404's). Also the Ajax Gmail app (gmail.com) doesn't ever load. On my BJII (running Opera) it loaded fine just like on my Windows desktop PC. And I was able to download a nice mobile Google Maps application, which I can't find for this phone either.
What am I doing wrong? Can someone please point me to the best solution for these two apps?
Thanks so much XDA geniuses! (I'm new to HTC)

I had a problem downloading google maps so I ended up searching for the .cab file and found it somewhere in XDA-Dev
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...google+maps+cab&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

When I tried downloading Google Maps in Opera it downloaded some Java version of it. Try using Internet Explorer to download google maps. www.google.com/gmm

the WM cab is here: http://www.google.com/gmm/GoogleMaps.CAB
from: http://www.google.com/mobile/default/maps.html

I'll be damned. I get a 404 not found when I hit the link to the cab file directly from Opera, and if I hit it in firefox on my desktop PC, it downloads. WTF?

Sounds like the AT&T proxy again. Type "opera:config" into your Opera address bar and go to the "Proxy" section. Uncheck "Use HTTP" and "USE HTTPS". Google sites (and a whole bunch of others) will work properly. You may have to re-enable the proxy for some internal AT&T sites.
Why can't AT&T use a proxy that doesn't make complete hash of the HTML it's proxying for?

Hi guys,
I'm having the same problem, and I tried this solution and it didn't fix my issue.
What I see is that when I go to Gmail.com and log in, I see the progress bar that shows the account is loading, but then the screen will go blank and the page will stop loading. It works over WiFi, but not over MEdiaNet. I'm using Opera 9.5 build 15613
Thanks!

TomTom 7

Hi all
I installed Tomtom7 yesterday, but could only install the blue version. The black version always failed to install. I have the latest 7.9 version.
I can only start TT via the file explorer the the today shortcut link does not work. It only beeps and that is.
I have also a proper TT account for safety cameras and traffic. when I connetc the PDA I can download pois, cameras etc. However I don't see them in the poi list? In TT home it shows as installed.
When I copy my old TT6 overlays into the map folder the show on the map.
The traffice update and warning work fine however..
Any ideas?

nobody really?

Which ROM are you using?

the standart WM6.1 from HTC.
I have figured out how to create a link and add stuff to the menu by now.
I have also seen a Speedcam on the map and can sync them via tomtom plus service, but still dont see them under any POI menu,...

To get other maps besides the default one, you'll need to download them from that second link in the first post.
