I would like to know what Application do you use for Navigation (but not Google Maps). I'm not sure does the Navigon has app for Android phone or Tom Tom.
I used navigon and works Perfect in the Hero, you need to have in your SD card minimum 2 Gigabytes free, try the Demo that is in the google market.
Copilot seems to work flawlessly for me ?
Should I root the Hero to see the paid apps on the Android Market? If i should what rom is the best for Hero? I downloaded some Modaco's 3.2 rom but couldn't install it...
you'll need to root the phone to run a custom rom, follow the many guides on here, then you can install the modaco rom, as said though for sat nav, copilot is probably the best out there.
I rooted and installed a modaco 3.2 rom . but still can't see paid apps on the market?

you may need market enabler search it on these forums
I installed market enabler but still can't see paid apps? should I set smth on the program?
I see now paid apps on the market with the Market Enabler. But just need free space for the Navigon.... got to buy SD card with more space ...
as i can see comments the Copilot crashes often, i see good comments about Navigon.

We cannot discuss that here! So don't ask!
Copilot is really cheap! I have used it on Iphone and WM, found it slow on Iphone and crashed on a HTC HD2 a lot. So I have stayed away from it on Android.
I use Navigon and it is great.
I use Sygic Mobile Maps, which is very good. You can't buy it in the Market - either download from their site or buy a retail version from Teleatlas.
I have heard a lot of bad reports about Copilot's support. I suggest you have a read of the forums on this site
I think for my country the best one is Navigon. But first I need Sd card with more space at least 4gb,(need to create again a goldcard on the new Sd card .... )got to buy the license for the Navigon ... I still haven't unlocked the phone yet kinda don't believe those sites who sell the codes ...
I see now why Android makes you a hard developer ....
I just thought I'd stick up for CoPilot, I have been using it since before christmas on many ROM's (including 1.5, 1.6 and 2.1 both sense and vanilla) and I have never once had a single crash or freeze with it. Works perfectly, would recommend it it highly

go away.....
sorry but this really really annoys me. People put a lot of work and effort into making apps for phones like ours and prices are mainly cheap. If everyone started hacking apps all the time then prices would rise or in extreme cases dev's would just stop making apps altogether (less so when its a big company making it).
You should respect both the dev's copyright as well as the rules of this forum.
i like Igo Myway. Has 3d & turn by turn. Plus instead of a car you can have a bloke on a bike, a tank or a boy on a magic carpet.
+1 for iGo Myway! I love it.
Another vote for IGo
IGo seems to be the best one available so far. I tried CoPilot but it has issues with the routing it chooses, although I had fastest route selected, it sometimes routed me through small roads when I had the motorway available. Other than that it worked fine. Tried Navigon, it works fine but I don't like the fact that it doesn't display enough information like speed, distance to destination, time left to travel (or I couldn't find how to do it?) but my favorite so far is IGo.

I was wondering if anyone has used or tried Google Navigator? The verison i have keeps crashing and i wanted to see if anyone knows of where i can get the new verison for it at? To me when its working its alot better than google maps. Just wanting to get it working.
Is there any way to "pre-download" maps for someone not on a data plan? I would love this!

You could possibly share with someone that has the maps already downloaded
Google Navigator v. 3.8
Yes, I purchased google navigator several weeks. I think it's up to version 3.8 now, which is pretty good and becoming more stable. It can be purchased here - http://www.pdafun.net/buy.htm
dealwagon,
As far as "pre-downloading" maps for offline use., that's a no go and not an option for Google Navigator. Your best bet is using Tom Tom, iGo, Garmin, etc, that uses phone's internal gps. You may want to check this out though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340667
Google Navigator 4.2
WARNING:
NO WAREZ OR WAREZ OFFERS!
THIS IS YOUR FIRST WARNING AND IVE SEEN YOU ASKING FOR V4.2
STOP ASKING/OFFERING OR I WILL BAN YOU FOR A COUPLE DAYS
4.3 is out and about and yes I have it....... Its hard to believe but.... I actually have a legitimate copy which I paid for!! My new GPS antenna for the Kaiser should be here tommorrow or Saturday. I am getting 7-8 satellites right now, but hope to improve it with a external antenna..........
I got hooked on the Google Navigator when the guy I bought the phone off of sent me a DVD with 4.3 gigs of applications on it for the Kaiser
Guys if you have to purchase this software I wouldn't mention sharing stuff on here because that might be considered warez and will get you the banhammer from the mods.
For those interested this should be avaliable in the UK "by the middle of next month"
Not sure if I'm convinced by the online nature of it, when I most need sat nav I'm often somewhere remote or abroad, still the winmo version was good
If the abroad you're planning to visit is in North America, stay far away from a Navigon product. They pulled their stand-alone units from the market here because their routing algorithms were complete ****. They have pretty maps and work well over the pond, but do not trust them to get you anywhere but lost in the States.
Just google navigon+routing+problems and you'll get the idea.
So i hear Navigon for Android is finally out. Unfortunately i don't have paid apps market here. There should be 30-day trial for that.
Navigon is way the best nav app in europe as far as i know. At least it is that way on iPhone. And i have seen them a lot.
I also have a question. How could i obtain it, if i don't have access to market.
I use Sygic Mobile Maps 9 ... Great app love this navigation.
now testing Sygic Mobile Maps 10 on the Android 2.1 roms... because version 9 is unstable and freeze under Android 2.1

Where did you get that from? Sygic appear not to have released it yet, at least not on their website

Regards,
I have tested a few, and my favourite is Navigon.
However, it is one of the most expensive applications, and I can not buy maps for Scandinavia alone, so I'm looking for a replacement.
Unfortunately Google's Navigation is not available in Norway.
Which do you prefer?
Please take my poll, and I appreciate additional information and tips if you have tested several navigation systems.
Thanks!
I prefer copilot as google navigation does not allow or let you save fav places which are not on the map say for instance I am looking for a shop not in the search result so I look on the map,pin it but cannot save it in say shops or eating places like you can in copilot.
Yeah, me too. Copilot is great.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
am using Copilot too and am pretty much happy about it!
I found Navigon to be a very good and "light-weight" navigation software. It's easy to use, gives great directions and has a clean layout. Still it could benifit from more options and customizations as it's really not that advanced.
CoPilot is a great application also, but I think it's interface is too cluttered.
Yesterday I read a review about Sygic Aura, and bought the Scandinavian version for 19,99EUR. This is by far my favourite of these three as it has a really nice UI, great (and I mean really great) graphichs and is really easy to use but still has a lot of advanced feautures.
I agree, sigyc Aura is greate. Easy to use and really grate grafics and UI.
im useing "waze", you can find it on the market.
Guys, don't you think CoPilot is a bit inaccurate when calculating travelling time though?
My commute into work takes 1 hour, always has, TomTom agrees with me, but CoPilot thinks it'll take 1.5 hours.... strange...
Sygic Aura doesn't give you the price. you only can download the free version. Don't like this. I want to know how much I'm going to pay if I buy it. Won't even try it.
I've got LOCATIONS, but for me the best is TOMTOM. I had it on my Kaiser, and with its so small screen I was able on one little glance to read all important elements (next way out, speed, etc..)
NDrive is good and has fairly up to date australian maps, Aura lacks maps for australia it seems which is unfortunate.
Brut maps all the way buddy. Google it
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Sygic Aura all the way! But I do miss my igo8 on wm6.5
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Nobody talks about LOCATIONS PREMIUM.
Interesting navigation, but missing a lot of options. Not expensive.
Missing :
- enter adress from contacts (as MAPS)
- enter GPS with the coordinates.
each time you want to configure you have to go back to locations. it means shut the navigation down and open LOCATION.
Otherwise, its very clear navigation. GPS is very precise (suppose it doesn't depend of the program)
hope we'll soon have a good update...

Sure you're living in a big country. In Switzerland you walk 2 steps and you are in roaming!!!
In CoPilot I miss the following funktions.
When they are fixed I think it will be the best Nav-app:
Foto-nav - When I get qa photo by mms or mail, it would be great to be able to navigate to it.
Navigate to contact - Now I cant click a contact in my phone-book and navigate to him/her. That sux!

2.99.. I guess I can only try it..
it's free in android systems....?Why 2,99?
Cause it's Microsoft. Bought it anyway
It's $2.99, which isn't bad compared to most xbox live games. True it is free on Android (with ads), but I'm fine with the price. Hopefully we get all the add ons & extra levels without having to pay more though. But I haven't been able to stop playing it since I got it, lol. Love having live achievements too.
Does not work on my HD2. Black screen after start of the game and then it goes back to games hub... Anyone having the same problem on HD2?

same problem.
I had that problem for a couple tries, but was due to it being plugged into my xbox to charge. Once I unplugged, no problems.
Were you trying to play it while syncing/charging to your pc? Might be the problem.
nope... no matter what - it starts, screen goes black, then exits.....
I tried it out.. it's fine, although it doesn't seem as smooth and multitouch doesn't work?
works with hd20 1.14, try that rom
I tried it & its not as fluid as on any Android or WM6.5, plus pinch to zoom is hap-hazard.
Maybe its WP7 thats monging? Unless it works great on a true WP7.
If you're using WP7 on HD2, you should know that the multitouch is bugged, no matter in whatever application, from browser to Angry Birds. So I don't think it's Angry Birds' problem, should be because the issue with multitouch in HD2 WP7 is not fixed yet.
Angrybirds very good :d

OK on to Garmin now. Typical Not one for the UK/Euro yet?
Can I use the Garmin Street Pilot GPS for Windows Phone 7 without 3G/Edge ?
Hi:
I am kind of regret that I got the HTC Windows 7 phone. Now I can't use any of the old apps like spacetime, tomtom from my windows 6.5 mobile since I won't be able to install the cabs on the Windows 7 phone. This sucks so bad. How could Microsoft do this?
I see that Garmin came out with a Garmin Streetpilot GPS in the market place for $38.99.
I don't want to buy it until I know what I am buying.
Will I be able to use the Garmin Streetpilot GSPS on my HtC surround 7 phone if I don't have 3G/Edge? I don't want to pay $50 for a data plan every month.
Can I download the maps and everything else via wifi and GPS will work on the road since I can't connect to the internet on the road with wifi?
Thanks
Just like Angry Birds, it's not free Google pays Rovio to make it free so they can increase Android's popularity
hi just took delivery of a razr i ,tried downloading all my apps from play store ,i had paid for tomtom uk [android]
for my galaxy s 3 ,but it stated that it is not compatible with the razr i strange any help please
at a guess its because it wasnt designed to be used with the intel chip inside razr i ...s3 uses arm technology
ahhh yes ,well i dont want to loose it guess ill buy a cheap android tablet for the car
that'll work,but personally i like the google maps/navigate as its always up to date and free..
I have Navfree which free and uses Openstreetmap and Ndrive paid for which use Navteq maps and another one Sygic which uses TomTom all work on the Razr i
try to contact tomtom support and ask for an update enabling x86 version.
I loved TomTom on my DHD, a month later i bought the RAZR i. It was the first navigation i really liked, had not a bulky interface and looked like it was meant to be used on android. I was really disappointed it wouldn't work on the RAZR.
Can you save the maps on the SD Card? I'm using sygic now as i can just download the maps i want to in a few minutes. The Europe maps take so much space and i need them so rarely..

I always thought that TomTom is the best navigation, I used it on all previous devices. Now I use Navigon and I'm not dissapointed. It's stable with nice interface und practical features. Regarding pictures on the Google Play TomTom has less transparent interface and it demands more memory. Try Navigon and ask yourself: do I miss something?

My thought is that Tomtom on Android is not what you except from it.
I use Sygic from years and it works as well as a "good" Tomtom... understand: better than Tomtom on Android.
I was a little bit disappointed by the Android version of Tomtom, so I stay with Sygic that works pretty well (and is fully compatible with the Razr i)
Navigon feel clunky and not so good, I tried it once, didn't like it... for a higher price than sygic.
I know it's no help, but...
CoPilot Live Premium Europe
runs fine on the RAZR i too.
Hope you can sort it out with the TomTom support.
I'm very happy with the (free) Google navigation product.
No frills, but it gets you from A to B just fine, including re-routing around bad traffic.
P.
yes i have navigon so i will use that for now ,who knows in the future it may be possible ,ay but what a nice little phone this is!
AW: why no tomtom?
My dad got his Razr I today. It was shipped with ICS and I installed all his neccesary apps. TomTom was one of them, It worked fine until I did the update to Jelly Bean. Then it started to close itsself. Reinstalling didn't help either.
So I can definitly say, that Jelly Bean is causing the problems. I think the guys from TomTom will be able to fix this easily
