Navigon 6 in USA

Is Navigon PDA software available with USA maps for Tilt? I have seen it advertised in Europe but it looks like it only has European maps and it also looks like it only works on WM smartphones (not touchscreens). Thanks

Yeah, but you have it misspelled. It's Navizon. It does work on touchscreen devices and is pretty decent location software.

LOL, no its Navigon, the German maker of standalone GPS devices:
Navigon MobileNavigator 6

Ah, I see, sorry for that. Their names are too close together...oh well, Navizon is still worth a look in lieu of Navigon.

I've just tried Mobile Navigator 6.2 on my Kaiser, working well (but with european maps) -
the only thing i have noticed: it's damn slow to start up the software.... no idea if there are american maps....

I also have MN6 installed on my Kaiser.
But i have optimizes the startup sequence and the working speed.
Now it start in about 7sec
there´s a howto on the pockenavigationforum (German)
you can find it here
There is also an MortScript-Script ( ), what automaticily optimize navigon (take about 2-3min on kaiser) --> find it here
i can translate and post it here if someone need this

Anyone know if there are USA maps available and/or where you can get them if you buy the software?

I have the North America Map it's about 1.65GB for Navigon, it has nice graphics and also includes the original icons for Gas Stations, like chervron, shell etc...Restaurants as well and many other POI. I don't use it no more because it takes a long time to startup and sometimes it crash. I like tomtom better.

Heya nEuDy,
thanks for sharing this info! Just did some of these settings and i think it's true, you can tune up the start sequence! Thanks a lot!!

El Toro... How can I get a copy of this map from you? By any chance, do you live in El Toro California? I live in Irvine, and I could actually just meet up with you! And do you happen to have Nacigon Navigator 6? Ive been looking for this for ages! Anyhow, let me know if we can work something out!

Neudy... Unfortunately, staring at these sites has not made any sense to me. I currently run a Motorola Q9h, and I am wondering if theres a way you can either translate or post that "modification" for me so that it starts faster? Please let me know!!

It's damn slow on v5 too
Disabling sound has speeded it up a bit as well as disabling HTC Home, but I'd like to dig further and if possible speed it up.
Such as, how much speed would be gained by installing the software in the main memory compared to the mSD card. The map is 110mb so I don't really want to put that in main memory

Could you post a summary and the links please? I'd be so grateful
I am only using WM5 at the moment, which is a tad out of date. But I would certainly consider upgrading to v6+ if possible. I sooo prefer this over MioMap or TomTom

I do recall some issues recently that there isn't a PDA version available in the USA. PNA yes, but not PDA UK does have the software available. One option would be to find out if you can use UK software and american maps.

which navigation software?

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

Hello,
I confirm that TT7 Work with MAP version v675.1409.
@+++

The voices are the same. Just install tomtom7 over the old version.
About maps still don't know....

Does anybody know on which devices tt7 will run (when it will ever officially released)? Especially will it run on HTC Hermes?

I tested with 675.1409 italy maps....but he ask me serial number....

work perfectly

working fine

On my Diamond the Software works, but i can only download one city map.-->that one works fine..my TT7 Western Europe map ive downloaded for TT7 doesnt work...it said its not valid...
anyone knows how to validate this map?!

how long is it taking to get GPS signal the first time?
Mine is just sitting there waiting for signal.
EDIT: didn't find it for 5 mins.. resarted TT7 found it in less than 30 seconds!

Guys...what is it with you...a lot of people here are software developers who earn their money with software, why do you STEAL from them???

took me 7 minutes for the first fix even with the quickgps file downloaded.
it also does not show satellites but have a fix.
so far do not know if you are better of choosing the internal gps or other nmea device with 9600 and com4

If its not finding your 6.75 map, edit CurrentMap.dat in notepad to point to your 6.75 maps and it works fine

BTW, is there any way to install tomtom to the Interneal Storage? The maps are on the internal storage, but the exe's and voices are on the internal memory.

iGO 8 or iGO 2006 on HTC Touch Pro

I'v been trying to install iGO 8 or iGO 2006 on my new HTC Touch Pro.
It seems to install just fine from the SD card, but when I try to start-up, nothing happens. The "loading" symbol appears for a few seconds, then ... nothing.
Can anyone pls help?
Thank you so much.
LE: I am using ROM version: 1.90.401.1 WWE

update to newer version (8.0.0.44366) or disable HTC home from Today

its all ok, just post your question in the touch pro section.
But I think its not necesary, u already have the answer.

Moved to Raphael, aka Touch Pro, Forum.

HTC Touch Pro do not seem to have HTC Home. In the "Today" settings, there is the HTC Touch Flo enabeled. I tried to runn iGO with it desabeled, but no succes.
So, I think there must be some other way...

Install iGo8, then search for the latest update. Install the latest update, remove the iGo8 Today plugin in Setting > Today > Items, and add a link in the "Programs" tab of TF3D. That should do it (works fine on my Touch Pro)

Got it working now....

Just a quick question, does it work in landscape mode on the touch pro?

Uhm, I don't know why it isn't working for you because on my Touch Pro it works great. Just installed it, copied the appropriate files for my country (the Netherlands) into the appropriate dirs as mentioned in the readme and that's it. Uhm, no, I had to set the GPS on com4 in iGo8 to get the gps working but that was all I had to do.

Just tried it. Works great in landscape too.

Can you confirm that the maps render and scroll smoothly when navigating now unlike the jerky movement you have with the Kaiser?

I can't compare with the Kaiser, I never had one. But map scrolling seems ok to me.

Hmm I got the same problem.. How do you actually update it?
I just bought my htc pro touch so bear with me please.
i installed it. everything seemed fine, i click on it, i get a loading icon, nothing happens.

Keyboard?
Hi,
iGO8 seems to work, but I can't get the hw keyboard to function. Not one key seems to respond. Does everyone else have this problem?
Thanks,

i dont understand why there are reported problems with the gps software on this phone. is there anything outhere that just works , without tweaks or anything of the sort?
is the co pilot 7 better than igo8? in terms of usability by someone who doesnt understand how all this works

I have tested iGO8, TomTom 7, and Garmin XT. All work fine on the Touch Pro (but I did not test hardware keyboard input).
In my case, I found Garmin to have the best GPS performance: only 2-3 seconds lag behind my separate Garmin nuvi 760 unit, and <30 secs for first fix most of the time. iGO and TT are a little slower but still work fine -- but other people find iGO or TT to work very well.
Other thoughts: TT has the most detailed roadmaps, iGO and Garmin are average. But I find Garmin has the best POI support. iGO (and I think TT, also) supports TMC but (so far) it cannot be activated on the Raphael. Garmin does not have TMC but can download traffic from its servers via your data connection (3G, EDGE, etc). For me, Garmin is a solid middle-of-the-road software; the only major drawback is no TTS, which iGO and TT both have.
I haven't tested Co-Pilot 7, but since it's based on iGO core (iirc) I probably won't try it. But of course, you should try demo maps or at least read reviews to find out which software is good for you.

To help clarify, there are two separate issues. The first is that many GPS software comes on SD cards that are intended to be kept on the SD, or on CD to be installed to main device memory, though if you buy it you have every right to install it to your Raphael. Since the Raphael only has microSD, you may have to install the program in a certain way to get it running. You also have to be careful of the software version, since not all are compatible with WM6.1. (These issues come up all the time among people pirating the software.)
The other issue is about the GPS receiver in the Raphael. Lots of people are trying different tweaks to get the best performance (ie: no lag) out of their receiver. But it's unclear if it's a problem with a weak antenna, or if certain programs (iGO, Garmin, TomTom) run better/worse on the Raphael. The results have been somewhat mixed but we're gradually figuring everything out.

Hi, I am trying to install IGO 8 on the HTC touch Pro, Raphael. The installation seems ok but when I launch the program, nothing happens. The rainbow circle shows up but then nothing. I am wondering what I am doing wrong. Could someone please advise?
Thanks in advance.

Just install a newer wersion: 8.0.0.44366 or 8.0.0.54000 and it will work just fine.

See this vid for the 3 best working navigation systems on Diamond!

IGO8 Is the best navigation program for the Diamond. Any attempt to compare is useless.

Any attempt to use IGO if you're in the US is also useless, unfortunately. Hoping they come out with US maps eventually. Until then, TomTom will do it for me.

tomtom for me
used it from day one on my diamond
does all i need it for

GARMIN?
Never heard that you could get garmin navigation on phones.
Out of igo and ttni'd say tomtom7 is still the best.
any ideas where i can download garmin? torrents or rapidshare appreciated.

I use tomtom
I´ve tried IGo8 but i think its kind of messy i can´t find the functions and so on....
tomtom is more right foreward

I've just removed iGo 8 and put tomtom back on as both have the delay, but tomtom is sooooo much better.

You can find Garmin on the bay, though its v4. If you want v5 you can pm me for a "secret" link.

Tom Tom's routing is better I think after trying both programs on my Diamond. IGO8 sent me on a weird route over the clifton bridge in Bristol which it never announced as a toll route the other day. They both have the same delay. Tom Tom is much easier to use and less cluttered but IGO8 does look nice with the 3D maps and the graphics in the menu system. Also the spoken instructions in IGO 8 are clearer and more concise than Tomtom.
So, if you want a navigation system that looks nice then go for IGO8. If you want to get to A to B with confidence, which is what these programs are all about then go for Tomtom.
In my opinion of course!
