hi,
Are we talking about tomtom navigator 7 for PPC right?
excelent news... are you using it? whats your opinion about the softwere?
cheers
Hi
This is a different programme from tomtom. It's called Pocket Navigator. I don't know which countries are covered. The specific link though relates to a file which contains the programme as well as the map for Cyprus. It works fine on the TyTN II and the Touch Cruise and another member has tried it on the P3600. It's quite good.
As far as TomTom is concerned I ve only used version 6.0.
A friend who has been using Destinator 7 though, seems to be very happy. He thinks it's more user friendly than TomTom.
Hope this was helpful.
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

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.
Hey guys,
I just got an HTC touch pro but i live in Egypt so the google maps of Egypt arent very accurate at all and they give no directions watsoever. So before when i was on my HTC P3600 i installed a gps programm by TeleType and added the maps of my country to it in the folder of my maps and it worked perfectly. When i came to do that on my HTC touch pro 6.1 windows mobile it didnt wana install and it said GPS not a valid pocket pc application. Ive been looking for another gps software to install on my touch pro and cudnt find anything. Could any1 help em please? i have my countrys maps but i just need a software that will work and that i can add my maps to so i can get the turn by turn directions.
Thanks alot

TOMTOM is good?

GPS for HTC Pro
Oziexplorer + your own maps or you can use iGO 2006 or iGO 8 /Nav N Go 8/ it works great with HTC Pro. And there is the map of Egypt too...
Igo is great Israeli software
I'm using NavNGo's iGO 8 - works like a charm.
TomTom Navigator 7 - TomTom told me that they indeed would release version 7 soon. Until now, only select Dimanond users had it preinstalled.
Both programs are working 100% on Touch Pro
The Doc.
hi, please onsi11 could you tell me where did you buy the htc touch pro from cause i can't find it anywhere in Egypt
I can sell you mine. It's less than 2 weeks old but no dings, scratches, dents... you basically wouldn't know it's used unless I told you.
I can put up an auction on ebay for it if you're interested. I'd be looking for $850 plus shipping & handling but I'd figure that out based on whichever way you want it shipped.
I got mine from a store in Ontario here in Canada.
I'm sorry i'm a lil bit out of the subject...
but helraiser,
I am from montreal, quebec, and i was about to buy the Touch Pro also. I'm just wondering if you had any trouble using this phone with Rogers network?
Thanks

Hi Onsi!
In the Storage Card, there's a folder named "iGO8".
In this folder, there's a text file named "sys".
Please copy the content of this file and paste it to a reply here and I'll try and help you fix the problem.

Make sure that in your Storage Card there's indeed an "iGO8" folder... If you have moved or renamed it - that may be the reason for iGO not running.

Nav N Go IGO8 v8.3.2.64873 working on the Rafael?
I just installed this version on htc touch hd, and then i see navigator in landscape view.
Anyone knows how view it also in portrait mode? I know to have a change sys but how I don't know. Thank in advance.
I have it working but I'm trying to find a good skin with the 480x640 resolution and can't really find one.
It looks like the nicest one that supported that resolution was the Ultra skin but it hasn't been updated for the 8.3.xx versions yet.
OCN*
Try OnCourse Navigator 8 if your in the US or Canada. It's the same software and loads flawlessly on the Fuze.

Do they have this program for the USA or only for Europe? Also is it free, one time fee, or monthly fee to use it. I think my Pioneer F90BT Car Navigation runs on this iGO Software.

I know there is a Diamond2 special edition, I ask this question because the Diamond2 special edition is not supplied with the Copilot Central Software but the Touch Pro2 is
I Have installed my old Co-Pilot 7 from my Orbit 2 and it does seem to work ok. I had a slight problem installing it just having the maps on the SD card but then I used the DVD install to copy the maps to the device and it is working ok (bear in mind not tested it on a major journey as yet)
It displays using the full screen.
Hope that helps
Thanks for the reply I think I will go ahead with Touch Pro 2 software as the screen resolution is about the same. I have finally given up on TomTom 7 it won't let me use the maps I purchased from Tomtom for my Touch Cruise.
I've got CoPilot 7 on my TD2 and its fine - contact CoPilot support to get the 480x800 res update (which they developed for the Touch HD).
Does that res update sort the aspect ratio? My version of CoPilot fills the whole screen, but all the button images the map ar stretched out. The Red dot that shows you where you are on the map is an oval. Does this version fix that?

Yes it does - that was my problem too until this update
I downloaded the latest version and used my current product key. Contact Alk support for the link to the new version.
I did have to delete two files to allow me to enter the product key without errors though. One called CPL7.DAT (in Device/Windows) and then PK.TXT file in \StorageCard\CoPilot\Save

Don't have any running pictures, but you won't see much different from the screen shots on the ALK website.
Yes there is a speed indicator. You display a whole range of different things (only one at a time however) including speed indicator while navigating. Incidently its seems very accurate (or at least it matched my car's speedo!).
I have the original/full version. With the Diamond version the only difference is that you don't get a CD/Copilot Central - the app to control and configure from your PC.
If you are going to be running on the TD2, then I personally would stick with the full version. The Diamond version was only there as TD1 did not have a MicroSD card. Don't forget to use the ALK support website (look up "How do I Re-create my SD card").

Cheers buddy have placed my order, had to many problems with tomtom.
Thanks again.
hi,
i had copilot7 trial version(7.8.0.319) supplied with my diamond2 French rom,
but traffic info seems not be available(i am in france) is it the same for you?
Is the 7.8.0.319 version the one supplied by ALK support ?
for those with traffic via gprs, is it good, accurate (tomtom like)
it's a pity if it's not activate in the trial because it's number 2 in my decision's criteria to buy or not that one.
Edit: and nothing about the option price for traffic info, on ALk website : is it free when copilot7 is activated or an annual fee?
thanks regards
Anybody notice the Lag at roundabouts. It takes about 2 seconds once I have exited a roundabout for copilot to fix on the road I have taken. The speed indicator is not real time as it was on my td1 using tt7. All of these problems were present on tt7. I didnt think they would be present on copilot thats why I purchased it. There is defiantly a lag or a os problem on the td2 as I was not getting any problems on td1 it was all real time. I am getting really frustrated now, wish I hadn't jumped boat in getting the td2, regret selling the td1.
I guess nobody has lag?
Alk support haven't repiled back.
I also tried the newer version of copilot on the htc website but the lag is still there.
