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 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.

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I am only using WM5 at the moment, which is a tad out of date.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.

GPS Software on Diamond

Which GPS software works best?
I am having difficulty installing CoPilot 7 (came with my Cruise but I never used it so I have the license and maps). I'm looking for something that has support for GCC maps because I'm in Dubai

Can I ask what issues you are having with installing Copilot? I was thinking of running Copilot 7 when I get my device and would be interested to hear. Is it because the Diamond doesn't have an MicroSD slot and Copilot only comes on SD? Or is it because it is a Cruise specific version?
Incidently, found this on the Copilot support site ("How do I recreate my V7 PPC SD card ?") which may help...
http://support.alk.eu.com/cgi-bin/alk.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=649&p_created=1194449850&p_sid=v9jItB5j&p_accessibility=0&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX3NvcnRfYnk9JnBfZ3JpZHNvcnQ9JnBfcm93X2NudD0yMDUmcF9wcm9kcz0mcF9jYXRzPSZwX3B2PSZwX2N2PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPWFuc3dlcnMuc2VhcmNoX25sJnBfcGFnZT0x&p_li=&p_topview=1
Looking at the PDF it contains, it theoretically should allow you to install to and run on the Diamond. Don't know until I get my Diamond, but worth a go.
Good luck.

I'd really like to get Copilot working. The one I have is Copilot 7 but the message I get is "you are not authorized to install this version of the software on this device" - although the Copilot Central [PC] software recognises the phone as a compatible device!

Did you register Copilot on your Cruise?
Have you posted a support question to ALK? They may have an answer.
Sounds like its either pre-registered on another device, or more likely, it isn't compatible with WM6.1. Have you downloaded the latest version through Copliot Live. I think they did an update amonth or so ago. Hopefully that may be WM 6.1 compatible.

I got my Cruise in April and never registered or even installed Copilot so it's definitely not been used. Still fiddling around with it before I post a support question as I've only had the phone a few hours. Thanks for the tip- checking now for an update

I haven't got my diamond ... yet.
But with Co-pilot 6 I had a similar error, and needed to "uninstall" the license via the web just to upgrade 6.0.1 to 6.0.4. In CP6 this was a bit of a pain, according to the documentation it should be easier with CP7??

Hi there,
i have been having the same sort of problems as you did, i ca't figure out which GPS program to use with my HTC Diamond, and it's a hassle finding maps for Egypt and that are also compatible with the program.
Can you help out in any of these points, i'd apreciate it.

Where did you get the upgrade from if you don't mind me asking.
I used to have a Cruse (with TT), then I lost it just as the MWg Atom V came out So I purchased CoPilot 7 at the same time but never installed it when I realised the MWg was a load of C*********. Now I have a Diamond and an unused CoPilot 7 that I would like to use. I have used the update in the CoPilot Central program. but still no joy.

Possible upgrade to Copilot Central required - I had a similar problem
This was the instruction I was sent by ALK...
1. Please ensure you have exited CoPilot Central on your PC
2. Download the Central Update by going to http://www.alk.eu.com/files/v7/Central_v0.5.52.4_patch.exe and click OPEN / RUN when asked to in your web browser.
3. You should see a message saying "This patch will update CoPilot Central to the latest version". Click OK to proceed
4. Click START and the update will start extracting files to the default location where CoPilot Central is installed to - this should be C:\Program Files\CoPilot\Central - if you have installed CoPilot Central to a different location, please ensure that the patch is installed to the appropriate location.
5. Once complete, start CoPilot Central and go into HELP | ABOUT and you should now see 0.5.108.0​
Also to download the latest version of the mobile app manually try here...

I think most of the GPS programs do, but you could try out GPS tuner, which turns your phone into a gps (not turn by turn navigation).

If Tomtom o IGo does not have maps for yor country, use a program like GPSTuner in which you can create maps for any area in the world taking them from Google Maps.
You can also use Google Maps mobile or Windows Live Search to load maps on the go and perform local search.

Maltese maps
Hello daniell
If you are from Malta you can check at Medcom Gzira (the one infront of Paul and Rocco carwash in Testaferrata street). I know a person who have a kaiser and installed Garmin software with maltese maps and he's using gps without problems. Only drawback is that maps and software are about the old LM40.
Regards,

I broguth the HTC Kaiser, and i though i have 1 free download from TOmTom, but i cannot seem to find where i cna get this download, can someone tell me, thanks

There are Garmin Navigator Maps for Malta, which are able to route you to your destination (not only showing your position on the map).

GPS Navigation App for Manila, Philippines

I'm wondering what GPS Navigation app is best for Manila, Philippines. I badly need help with directions, and Google Navigation doesn't work here yet.
Any suggestion free/paid (preferably free, but I doubt there's one)?

been searching for something like this as well.... nothing yet. our only hope is to get garmin to release software for the android (since they are releasing the garmin phone soon anyways). i believe only garmin has maps for manila... but even these are probably not official since the garmin website doesnt indicate that they have maps of the phillipines.

Yeah. I have a Garmin device, but I haven't seen a good enough map. I think, there are good maps out there, though.
I hope, we can extract that GPS navigation app from Garminfone

Sygic has maps for Metro Manila only for the Philippines.

Im also searching something like this... software that could support Malaysia map... need a free one... had anyone tried IGO for android?

Kumusta mga kapatid, now I'm not sure if this does include Manila, I was too lazy to read through this thread, all I know is that its supposed to be international navigation, so its worth a try.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887

The best Garmin maps for the Philippians are free and located here http://roadguide.ph/Download.html#
Will install fine on a Garmin nav only device, winmo, symbian, etc but do nothing for any Android phone that doesn't run a gmapsupp.img, which is every Android except the Garmin ones, at this point.

i've been using the google maps navigation hack for use outside of USA. currently been driving in singapore and I use it quite frequently and it works like a charm. you may want to give that a try.

As long as you can find a suitable map file motonav will use it.

wow
wil try this.. hope this works on my diamond..

Use Garmin Mobile XT
Mga Pre!!!
The best GPS application I am using right now is Garmin Mobile XT.. Its really cool on my HD2 and i found updated maps for Caloocan area, every streets are updated.. Im also enjoying it here at jubail City KSA.. 3 Thumbs up!!

Sygic Mobile Maps
I have been using Sygic Mobile Maps 10 on my N1 for a couple of weeks now. It has a map just for Metro Manila, so just like MapKing the map area turns black as you leave the Metro Manila area.
I find it pretty accurate for Manila navigation.

Hello,
Please do share where you got your 'hacked' google maps navigation' and/or how you installed it. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, that hack won't work if Navigation isn't available for your country yet. I'm on CyanogenMod, and this allows me to run Google Maps navigation, but because there's no data for my area (Metro Manila, Philippines), I still can't use it.

can you give me link for garmin mobile

using papago .
sent from my satellite , s6xmeup

by using the Navdroyd, i get an accurate navigation in manila area and even outside of metro manila

try Navitel v3.5 or v5.0 (for Android), roadguide.ph had given a standard Philippine map on Navitel users, similar map being used by Garmin softwares. Works great on my GT P1000.

will google navigation work in manila? It sounds like the maps will load but will the navigation work?

A garmin-like navigation app for Android

Hi,
I am looking for a navigation app that can give me directions using arrows and voice and the maps are offline. So I do no have to connect to the internet any more with support for saving my own places (restaurants, hotels .... etcc)

Does iGo has maps for india?. I googled bt m not able to find ny.
Sent from my GT-I5801 using XDA App

You can also try Papago X5. Its working like a charm on Gingerbread.

Give a try to copilot

For me there´s no replacement for Garmin because of the lackage of detailed maps of my country for the mentioned gps software (Papago, Igo, etc). That´s why I´m stick on WM and using android SD
I tested Papago, it´s a good gps software but the only maps I found were very basic, so...
In fact, I´m considering buying an android phone and a cheap Garmin gps (like nuvi 205).

I use CoPilot, also bought the license .. its the best navigation !

iGO free on the market??? Where?
Otherwise, i like iGO a lot. Everything is like 20x faster than Garmin and interface is nice.
But still nowhere to beat Garmin. It will show your position only on roads, voice navigation is a bit weird and it's nowhere as customizable as garmin.
Garmin announced software for iOS, but it will be online, so why bother. They failed completely at smartphone area.

sygic aura for sure

Google
Let´s stay in family, why not to use Google Maps which includes Google Navigation...also you can download full Google Maps (and lots of other maps) with Locus (market free)...
For Google Navigation just search for BrutMod Maps here in xda, or flash Hyperdroid...

wow nice. I never used google navigation since it needed data (i don't have data plan) and was not availble in my country anyway.
Is there a way to cache POIs, so you can search through them without internet connection?

Co-Pilot is good for UK coverage and you can de-activate WM licence and re-activate it in Android.
It also has a real time traffic option (only cost me £10 per year)
Bought the USA version for holidays for $10 and same for USA traffic great value compared to buying a TOMTOM/Garmin device
Co-Pilot looks the same as well on android as WM so easy to use and you use androids keyboard rather than abcd keyboard on WM
I prefer it to WM TomTom tbh as it is multi touch even in WM but TomTom device's HD Traffic is the best I have seen

I second Copilot Live 8. US-only for Android is a mere $4.99 at alk.com. Other places are all reasonably priced. Works perfectly on my HD2/Android 2.2.1.
