Hi all mates!
I'd like to open a thread to discuss about this piece of software!
I have to buy one among tomtom3, destinator 3 and Navigator 4 so I think it's good to open this thread to share any comments and infos and any other thoughts concerning theese sat-nav programs!
Cya!!!
Forget Destinator for a start. We have a review of the previous version of Navigon here and TomTom3 here.
I have myself check out different navigation systems and have concluded that Navigon Mobile Navigator 4 is the most sophisticated one. But I must concede, it is expensive, they had delays in bringing the software to market, they have already made an upgrade available (presumably there were issues with the new software), and they have not managed to put the demo on their website for about the last 3 months. In addition, I have not heared about bluetooth receiver compatibility. It seems that not everything is going smoothly. By the way, the company producing this software was just taken over.
There is also a POI handler available (in English) at: http://www.navigating.de
Check out this German site for a review (in German): http://www.pocket.at/navigation/navivergleich.htm
But I still believe it is the most sophisticated navigation system available for PPC, I am just wondering whether something simpler would do for me. :roll:

Why? I have read some review of destinator and it seems as simpler as Tom Tom!

Destinator has a great deal of issues and it's latest version is no match for any of your other options, Consider CoPilot, TomTom or Navigon as your top three choices. Others worth considering are Deluo Routis, also sold as Socket MyNavigator and Intellinav amongst others.
I have found that navigon doesn't support custom POIs! is that right?
Another thing: a little very pleased feature in destinator is the possibility to read the phone number of certain POI like restaurant, bar, ecc; so the question is: has any of the other competitors the ability to do this?
I believe that with the POI handler Navigon does support custom POIs. Check the link I indicated above, it is in English.
Ok, that's right for the POIs, but for what concern telephone number?
Does anyone knows something?
no one?
I am currently using the Navigon older software 1.5 which also has RDS-TMC together with my MDAII .The TMC function is really useful and works in Germany, Belgium , UK - all these countries I have personally tested and have been rerouted and saved several times. The POI included in Navigon also work well some are already allocated but you can download more also some from POI handler and you this service you have to pay a yearly fee. ( for speed camera etc)
The advantages of Navigon are that you get the whole of Europe and the TMC function and no other extra costs except upgrades. Up to now I am very happy especially now since I also have a official carkit for the MDA II. I laugh at all my friends with thier expensive navi systems in their cars. Navigon , Tom tom etc are really not expensive if you compare them with car built in systems
I looked at Tom Tom but found the maps more clearer ( for myself ) Tom Tom uses teleAlas while the Navigon uses Navitech . The older software Navigon did not show your speed but the new one Navigon 4 does. Tom Tom also does have TMC but this needs to be downloaded via GPRS and adds to the cost.
Today ( WooHoo !!! ) I have recieved my software & hardware upgrade to Navigon|4 and as I am travelling these weeks and I will install it in the next few weeks.
I only opted for the upgrade as I can now use the bluetooth GPS reciever when I go cycling or walking.
Funny, when I was making my choice it was between Alturion & Navigon. I chose Navigon as all the right hardware was ready for The MDA II. I have never regreted buying navi software.
:lol:
Thx rafiki, and remember: I'd like to read here ur thoughts about this navi software! Of course, take it easy, do it when u can! I'll appreciate it very much!
Any news about extracting\reading phone numbers and any other type of infos from the electronic maps? :?:
WooHoo !!!! :lol:
A really good piece of software! I installed the navigon 4 yesterday and used all day today. Boy am i happy.
I got:-
Bluetooth ( modular with TMC)
I can see my Speed, atlitude, got a compass , est time of arrival , duration, inclication of road,
3D or bird eye view
perfect sound with my MDA II carkit with mute ( on software)
Adjustable volume
I can type in destinations or touch on the map via touch screen
I van also use voice command for stored destinations
All in all I am very happy!!!!!!
By the way any one know how I can see which version of windows I have on My MDAII ? Pocket PC 2002 or mobile 2003 ? :?:
Thx Rafiki!!!
I think i'm gonna buy this software!
@ Jag!
Forgot to mention I work for an Italian Company! :lol:
Navigon comes in standard in 7 languages.
Here is a hand book you can download from Navigon in 7 languages.
http://www.navigon.de/downloads/consumer_products/Short_Manual_7_languages.pdf
also if you visit the site there is a lot of info in English , including screen shots. You can also order via the site.
good luck

The XDA II/MDA II/QTEK 2020/imate all come with Windows Mobile 2003 - PPC2002 is not available for this platform.

Just had my Dopod 900 few days ago and i'm lovin' it I'm asking for help from the members here to sort out my queries. Do pardon me if some of my questions have been posted before, i have tried to search some but i couldn't find any. If anyone has the related softwares, please share them with me here...it would be wonderful since my internet connection is quite lousy and slow here.
1. First and foremost, i found out that my Dopod 900 doesn't have msn messenger installed. Is this the only case for Dopod 900 ? How about Xda Exec and others, do they have it installed straight away ? What is the latest version for mobile msn messenger ? I really need this software
2. I have been using Xda II as well, and i really love the program 'Album'. Is there any software like 'Album' that you guys would recommend ? There's a program in Dopod 900, 'Pictures and Videos', but it is still not good enough...maybe because i'm already used to 'Album'.
3. I used to combine 'Photo Contacts' and MTUX RingtoneX in my Xda II, and they work great ! What software should i use to assign photos and different ringtones for different contacts for this Dopod 900 ?
4. For Dopod 900 today's theme, can i still use my old themes previously used in Xda II ? Will it cause any problem ? Is there any software that allows us to create our own theme for Windows Mobile 5.0 ?
5. Lastly, is there any need to backup since the new Windows Mobile 5.0 won't let us lose our data anymore ? If yes, could you please recommend me what compatible software to get ?
6. One more question, I'm using Spb pocket plus in my Xda II, and i love the option that 'closes the program' once pressing the 'x' button. I installed pocket plus in my Dopod 900 as well, but it seems that that option doesn't work at all. I don't want those running programs to eat my memory although i can stop all the programs in the memory settings. Is there any software to sort out this thing ? Any other software to use that is as good as pocket plus for Dopod 900 ?
Thanx for the help !
Will
Hi,
I see a lot of people to customize (color, applications, and so on...) WM5 or WM6.
I would like to know how it is done. Which software or tool do they use, does it exist a tutorial for that, and so on...
In fact our company bought more than 60 SPV M3100 (Hermes 100) and i would like to make a company package (WM6 customized) for that purpose.
thanks a lot for your help.

I found a free navigation software package for HTC phones on www.leaf.co.za called Leaf Locate. I suspect it will only have SA maps which would suite me fine. It works great on a HTC phone but not on an iMate like the K-Jam. I have spoken to an engineer at Leaf and they do not want to allow iMate's to use it because they do not have the contract to support iMate - they use to have. As far as I am concerned the K-Jam is an HTC and should be able to run the software. Does anyone know how to get around this ? The software checks for an ID somewhere to determine the type of phone. I would greatly appriciate any assistance.
I have HTC Sprint Mogul. It doesn't work either. That's suck.
I've also tried it on a Jamin, no luck it does work on the HTC P4350.
I suspect it's a registry they look for, it would be great to get it working on our devices. It is a fantastic product.
Used it on my wing and got an error saying it wasn't a HTC device. Could be that I'm running a cooked rom. Kinda bummed looked like a cool program.
Hi all,
I'm looking for a softphone which 'really' works on a Trinity.
I'm running bepe 0.79 (ger) on my p3600, upto now I didn't find a softphone which meets my needs. Some things I would like to have:
using phonespeaker (not speaker at the back)
using the phone buttons
STUN support
sound quality should be reasonable
multi provider capable
best would be use of 'normal' dialpad (integration in GSM-phone)
...
It would be nice to get some recommendations or feedback if someone found a piece of software which works...
Thanks,

WM6 integrated SIP phone seems to be the closest match, but it's oh so crippled... Check out PocketTalk for something different.

Either I'm blind or there is something wrong...
Where can I find WM6 for my M700?

Hello a$h.
Well,all over the place,since it´s a HTC-P3600.....go to trinity mobile 6 and you´ll see what you can do with your M700,by the way is that the one from Orange?
Do you mean this one Trinity P3600 D810 SPV M700 or this one M700 from E-TEC Glofiish M700?
If it is the first one you are fine if it´s the second one wrong forum and don´t try it,you could brick it,make sure is one or the other.

Regarding the softphone I´d recommend the one that I´ve been using for years SJphone,I believe it uses the back speaker,this could be an isue for ya,but give it a try.
http://www.sjlabs.com/sjp.html
I use SJphone too with sipgate, voip uk and some others, and it works great
How to configure it?
Hi there,
I have installed the SJPHONE and, despite I have checked some forums, I am not able to configure it properly.
Could someone please tell me which are the setting options you have got?
P.D.: I am user of voipstunt.
