Hello peoples!
I just bought a new Z3 compact from a Sony Store in Thailand.
Loving the phone apart from the fact that it's missing Garmin GPS. It doesn't have any GPS apps included. Does anybody know if Garmin was only included for specific countries and whether I'll be able to download it from somewhere?

Hi, you can find it on Xperia Lounge - Get the best app offers from Xperia or on Play Store - Garmin Xperia Edition.
My Z3 Compact come without it also, but you can install it so it's not a problem
Please post questions in the Q&A section

Cheers Nemanjath much appreciated, and sorry about posting a question in the wrong section gregbradley, noted for future threads.
May I suggest you have a look at MapFactor Navigator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mapfactor.navigator). It's free, it's off-line and I'm using it since quite some time successfully. Or, depending on your requirements, check out OruxMaps (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orux.oruxmaps) as well.
Cheers guys.
Grabbed mapfactor as Garmin isn't available for Thailand.
Much appreciated!

hi guys, i'm new here, i just got my diamond 2 days ago, and keeps wondering which gps navigation software to install for US maps, any suggestion?
tomtom 7 is the best you can get and btw many providers ship the diamond with it
I would suggest Nav N Go, also known as IGO8. For me it is much more usefull than TomTom.

there`s really no need to create thousands new ....

thanks for the link
looks like tomtom is the most popular, but how can i get one? do I have to buy it online or can i buy it from some retail store?
igo-8 and tomtom choose one of them
Interesting, you can actually buy maps for TomTom Navigator 7 now, the only choices are Western or Eastern Europe. I guess they are trying to cut out us folks in the states.
As far as I heard TT wont continue to support PDA's and PPC's and will move to their own products (standalone and potential OEM for the car industry). Though sad perhaps an understandable move due to:
- To many hacked and cracked versions
- To many variations at aforementioned devices (cracked ROMs, incompatibility etc.)
...as said, this is what I've heard.
If you load tt home and let it find your device it will give you the option to buy US maps.
true just download tthome and it wil give you option to buy us maps..just reminder, i live in salt lake city and lot of POI are missing , software is very nice with voice and acurrat direction however POI suck, I use msn live search for POI(the best)enjoy
I've been to the site on my PDA, but can't find where to download the TTHome. Do I need to sign up? I think when I loaded the TASTER version on my Tilt, I registered it. I want to buy either the US Map or the North America Map. Although... I really don't know the difference between either of them.
Can someone help?
who's interested in buying maps?
any idea how much it cost to buy Entire USA map ?
for tt6 or tt7
i have tt6 with outdated maps...
I purchased USA and Canada map 2-3 months ago, and it was around $70. (That was version 6.65 , or was it 6.75...I odn't remember). I presume 7X maps would cost about the same.
I may know a guy, who knows a guy, who can get you the maps for $30

Hello everyone,
I first posted my comments on the General Kaiaser forum in a Tom Tom thread, but a contributor suggested that I post here in this TT7 thread. Here it is...
I have TT7 (Taster Version) on my Tilt (originally for the Diamond). I am wondering:
1. If I download the North America Maps from Tom Tom, What device do I choose? I've heard that a possible map download is the GO 720 T map, but before I spend the money, I would like to make sure.
2. After loading the map to the root directory of my storage card, how do I get the TT program to see it.
3. If I DRAG the map folder over to my device via Windows, it goes through a "conversion" process in transferring it to the device. Should this be the case? Or... does the storage card need to be Windows formatted?
Thanks for the help.
BTW: The one free map works perfectly!!! I just need more than one city! Thanks again everyone...
Isn't this covered in the thread that had the downloads? It said to say you have another device and then do some stuff and you can get the US maps. I'm pretty sure if you searched that thread there might be something in there about that.

You can do all this yourself very easily I'm running TT7 - Version 7.450 9028 with pretty much maps of everywhere - Ausi (V720-1838) USA & Canada V720, North America, South Africia, NZ, Western Europe, Ireland and UK etc etc etc.
PM me and I can run you through how to get this working on your phone - oh and the cost was $0 so was in my price ballpark and I find TT better than copilot 7 which came with the phone, nothing really wrong with CP7 just found the maps and interface easier on the TT. Also V7 has map share so you can unblock roads change direction etc which comes in handy when the new motorway opens up.
Google can find you anything.
New maps
So I have now inadvertantly purchaced v8.15 the UK maps from TomTom, but Home says that these cannot be installed on my kaiser running 7.910 and hence I cannot download it from the tomTom website.
Any ideas of should I ask TT for my money back... this is what hammens if you try and go ligit!!!!
I know how you feel Othillo. I just tried to buy the maps too and it didn't work. I think it's dumb that TomTom is making it pretty much impossible to buy the maps legally. It makes no sense to me and it's quite frustrating. When I just tried to order the maps, it gave me 2 orders instead of the 1. So far no money has been taken from me (a good thing) and I better not get charged the $70 (or the $140 as the TomTom website says).
Hi,
Shazam is a cool application that recognizes music and tells you the who, what, where, when about it. It is availble for iPhones. I read that it is also available for the Android platform. Has anyone here got that running and if so, could they check out if Shazam can be made available for the Raphael (or any other WM device, for that matter).
I'd be very happy.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Izzard

There are a few cabs of it floating around. Search for Music ID
It had been posted on PPCGeeks, but was pulled, according to the poster, because of a legal threat from the publisher.
http://rapidshare.com/files/182497722/VGA_MusicID_1.3.16.CAB.html (ten times downloadable)
Shazam for WM6.1?
The link was run out of downloads. Could you please renew it so I can try to get shazam on my HTC Touch HD?
I thank thee deeply!
Your Fuze should already have it,located in programs Music ID.
IF your looking for the FREE version it is no longer available. If you searched the forum for Shazam MusicID you would have found this in an abundant amount of threads. The days when Shazam made a free version are gone. It costs $ now!

Possibly not 100% accurate, i found a version on here yesterday after spending about 20 mins with the search button. There were several trial versions, a couple of deleted links & some qvga / non-touch versions. The one i found works perfectly on my UK T-mob vario IV. Yes, in the "help" section it tells me that i can use it as much as possible for a fixed subscription, and that if i visit a cingular website i can remove the subscription from my (i guess) cingular account (which, being in the UK i dont have).
I've also read that they ditched the subscription idea some time ago (presumably they make their money from you buying the full tracks or ring tones etc etc).
The cab files are out there, i dont know if they are permitted under forum rules (some versions have been removed at the request of a copyright holder) so if you want one, search & download before the mods are asked to delete them.
Shazam

+1 for this. Free. Works fast.
Yep, Midomi is great.
Midomi rocks, I just wish it would save your searches.
Does anybody know where to buy Shazam premium version ?
It's on UK Marketplace but i live in France and though i tried to buy it there, it's not possible because my creditcard is not from UK.
Anybody have a clue ?
Don't see much going on here related to Tomtom.
I have Tomtom 7 running on my Tilt, with maps that are getting dated. I see that TomTom has new maps out.
Anyone purchased them yet? I'd hate to get them and then find they don't work. TomTom never has indicated that they support the Tilt. I'm presuming I could get HTC Tytn II.
Of course a more important question: Anyone find USA/Canada maps? I don't see them available on their web site (which is what I have read over and over in the past, but people end up with them from somewhere...and no, I'm not asking where to get them illegally).
TomTom 7?
I'm a newbie on this site, as I just got my new phone. I have a Tilt 2 and i saw your post about having TomTom 7 on your phone - i have NOT been able to find the app, and I do not want to pay for AT&T's navigator service. Can you tell me where i might locate this software? Thanks!

Please try searching before posting. Read this whole thread....
As for the maps, those can be purchased through TomTom's web site.
Try using google and search TomTom 7 qvga!
Apologies Philux-X, I saw ewingr's headline and thought from his post that this was a scarce topic. Thank you!

They do not list USA/Canada maps for Tytn II (I think that is what I would need to order forthe Tilt); they have always denied that Tomtom will work on Tilt. If I purchase them and then the don't work they will not reimburse.
I sent them a message before posting here asking if I can get maps, and have had no response.
I like their product, but I may abandon them when I finally decide my maps are too far out of synch.
I don't want this thread to be misleading, so I'm just going to put it out there, that this is an inquiry regarding Google Wallet that is supposed to come pre-installed on the xperia Z1. This is not a guide or tutorial for development (I hope I'm in the right section, mods please move or delete this thread if it's in the wrong place, or you feel it's inappropriate). According to the spec sheets for the phone, Google Wallet is listed under entertainment and I was wondering if anyone who already has the phone has seen this app and been able to use it. If so, is it the same as the regular play store app or is it different? most importantly, does tap and pay work? If not how much interest is there in the community to get NFC payments working via Google Wallet on the Z1?
