Working on Diamond ? MobileNavigator 6 Software European Edition für PDA

Hello !
I read now hundreds of postings but I did not find the proper Question. So Senior members please do not writing your obligate "SEARCH FORUM" Message - this seems so rude !
OK. I want to buy a complete legal Navi Software for my Touch Diamond.
TomTom 7 seems not to be legal.
Now I found the Navigon solution:
Can any body tell me if it is running well on the Touch Diamond ?
Thank you
Marcus

It works, but it is too slow IMO. I was a fan of Navigon since Navigon 4 (3 yrs ago), switched to iGO and wont go back to Navigon !
I dont know if it's because of the screen (VGA) but it takes ages to move the map, compute routes, etc. They seriously need to rewrite their software if they want to compete with iGO.

Why do you say TomTom 7 is not legal?
You can buy and license TomTom 7 just like any other piece of software. I'm guessing you're German or in Germany so TomTom 7 is probably a very good idea for you because the maps are excellent. I would also recommend Garmin Mobile XT as this also has excellent maps of Europe.
Cheers!

Good Morning
yes I am german.
So, the Navigon is not running well on the Diamond - what means too slow ?
Unusable. Is the hardware proper used - the gps internal device and the vga display ?
You tell me about different software but I searched the web and did not find working legal download possibilities for those programs.
TomTom:
I wrote to TomTom and they told me that they do not sell the TT7 right now.
If you take the program from another device it is not legal, because it is oem and bound to that device !
If some one can post links from webshops of other software vendors for navigation software it would be great
e.g. Nav n go
Best regards Marcus

@mkhattab
where can i buy it legally ?
thanks Marcus

I fully agree, Destinator is excellent ! (second only to IGO8).

I suggest Garmin mobile XT.

The problem is that you wont find that software to buy online for download anywhere

*mod Edit*
Do Not Post Warez, Nor Link To Warez!
.

Noam,
Are you using Destinator 6 or 7? In memory or internal storage? What the map size?
I've tried D7 on storage and it was so slow...

I'm using IGO 8 which I think is excellent. With a bit of tweaking it runs fairly smoothly on the Diamond. Prefer it to TomTom, though I've not tried TT7 at all.

iGo 8 and Sygic McGuider.

I'm very happy with TomTom Navigator, but I got interested in Destinator now that many recommends it

Ndrive for beeing the only one to have the Azores Islands.
Google maps mobile for having satellite imagery.

I use tomtom 6 but it drains my battery in 2 to 3 hrs

still using tomtom 5. works fine.

tomtom 6 for me
with the latest radio....you get a fix in less than 5 seconds from cold!

iGO 8 works perfectly here.

maybe some one puts a few pros / cons together

for singapore and west malaysia i would suggest Mapking 2007 or R12 cos of the free and freq updated maps by malsing, though there is a refresh issue if you use the cr**k if your set that have the version specially tuned for diamond thats should be find... please do not ask me where to get the tuned version as so far only those that bought the phone and comes with the phone has it.

I use mapking 2007, and its fine ....
actually, this software is totally free, if you download it from www.indowebster.com
Oh, I'm using it in Indonesia...

Is this WM edition available for the diamond? (sliding panels)

I found this on 'the internet' http://www.multicellphone.com/how-to-customize-“sliding-panel”-home-screen-in-windows-mobile-61/
I was wondering, is this version of windows mobile available for my touch diamond? If I'm correct, it is windows mobile standard 6.1?

it is software running in WM, its not a 'edition' or 'version'

Windows Mobile Standard is for non-touchscreen devices.

I think the OP is correct, that is a standard feature of WM 6.1 Standard.
No, that version is not available for the Diamond.

from the original blogpost:
Although we're excited to see developers interested in taking advantage of the new home screen, any code samples in this blog post apply only to Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard devices. We do not expect this code to work on previous or future versions of Windows Mobile.

As said before diamond uses Profesional..
Would be nice though, looks kinda cool, but I doubt that that one is portable to the professional version.

That really looks close to the Windows Mobile 7 "previews"

I NEED GPS software, but which one??

Yes, I know there are several threads out there asking which is best, prettiest or whatever, but, I have TomTom installed on my Tilt with a flashed rom, but everything I've read says that TomTom will not be issuing US maps with version 7 and later. And then I read that Garmin XT has caused a lot of problems on phones. IGO is expensive. So, what is a Tilt owner to do?!?

I personally use Tomtom7 and iGO8 (mainly iGO8 which works awesome with TTS). You're other choices are Google Maps, Windows Live, Garmin, and a few others.

His next question I'm sure is where did you get your v7 maps, or how did you get v7 maps...
and of course, we only want to know LEGAL ways to do so.
I personally own TomTom Navigator 6, and I love it. I've got maps 6.010, so I don't think I can use them on TomTom Navigator 7. They are up-to-date enough for my driving, but I wouldn't mind the ability to update/edit maps in 7, and the ability to change the 'car' would be fun too.

I like iGO8 too.

IGO8 for me too. I used to use Tomtom all the time but their maps were not the best. IGO8 maps etc. work much better for me.

google?
Google maps?

Navizon is good. If you want vocal turn by turn directions, Nav4All is free.

The problem with IGO 8 is it's huge. The maps for Europe are 1.5gb - which is about 1gb more than I can spare

I was using iGuidance on PDA Mio DigiWalker. But version 4 doesn't work on HTC TyTN So after some tests found OnCourse (based on iGo, but have better features). Hope iGuidance newer version will be much better so I can use it again on my TyTN.

Yesterday i installed TomTom and IGO8 and they both work brill they both have there advantages but the IGO does find the GPS a lot quicker if you do a good google you can find everything you need

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I'll try the new ones, and see which one fits my needs the best.

i use tomtom navigator !
works great !

How did you get the US map? Version 7 doesn't have US maps that you can buy, unless you live OUTSIDE of the US!

I use CoPilot 7 and have found it to be very good.

Since you're in the US, Street Atlas 2009 is on the cheap side but perfectly usable.

I have used both TomTom 7 and Garmen XT in my 8925 (Tilt). My choice..... the Garmin XT.
Tom Tom was fine but the maps are out of date unless you live in Europe. The US maps are still in 2006 and TT isnt sure they will be updated given the huge hacking of their TT7 by US naughty boys....
Ill put my Xt against any TT7, and I will win. The down side to the XT is there is no qwerty keyboard lettering which drives me nutz!

Ive been running my G-XT for awhile now without any issues what so ever. Me likie my XT. I also ran the TT7 but dumped it because of the poor outdated maps.
Expensive? $00.00 for my XT.... "The truth is out there."

I currently have installed and working with US maps:
Garmin XT 2009 V5.00.20wp
TomTom 7.910 (9185)
iGO8 8.0.049545 June 30 2008
Navigon 7.31 build 137
I am a GPS junkie! I like them all for different reasons.
Navigon is the most aesthitic looking program and Reality view is awesome.
iGO8 and its true TTS is great and a very user controlable interface.
Tom Tom is a great all around application and works well.
Garmin XT has a nice UI, easy to use and the ability to load smaller map files rather thatn the entire US.
Hopes this helps. You should find something you like. If you need anything let me know via PM or IM if you see me. Kevin

Two words: Bit Torrent. No, I won't tell you the search terms, or where to search. (I won't put it on my 4shared either).

I like Garmin Mobile XT. So far its better...........

[Q] GPS for my click

I need help, please. I don't know what program to use for GPS on my Tattoo.

Google maps
Ndrive
Copilot etc...

i think IGO is the best for rooted device...

Navit works quite well, but there still is some polishing to do.

I can't find IGO in market, I dont suppose IGO made for android
Sent from my Tattoo using XDA App

IGO is defenitly the best

I think navigon works fine. Like it and it´s was a fair price .
Gmaps with Brut works fine if you only drive in you homecountry. Cost alot if you have roaming in other country

There is IGO made for Android devices and yes there is a version working on tattoo. Just search the forum.

I use Copilot live compatible with android 2.2 and 2.3 and not very expensive !

IGO works fine for me...

Yap iGo is awesome, works for me. I tried nDrive but it was lame, didnt work as i expected.
Here is apk cheers.

iGo is the best by far.

i'll try this, but i'm using navigon for about half year and it's great, no lag, much faster much precise then garmin on nokia n95

its very important to set your country... I just got navigon and here (brazil) it's worse than ****.
iGO is the best by far.
2nd is coPilot imho.

Ndrive ftw!

Vers. 2.2 and 2.3 Copilot is great, with original vers. 1.6 Navigon in Europe and
nDrive for the rest of world.

I've tried with Sygic with my CM7 firmware and successfully installed but couldn't run because it always displayed black screen and closed program. I don't know why and how to solve?
Now I'm trying Ndrive and it works for me.
Maybe I will try iGo also.

Try waze. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.waze

go pilot is the best
