I noticed that the tomtom maps that comes with tomtom go have a higher vers. number than the maps I have in my wizard. Are this maps compatibles with TT Navigator 5.2? Other question: Do you know some advantage using the "plus" maps? are they more acurate? Thank you
plus maps have the main roads of the limitroph countries in addition to what you have on the regular map. So they are alrger but not more accurate. They are interresting when you plan a travel across different countries
hello everyone!
i am going to buy a gps mouse today, the hollux 236, and now i am wondering, what you think are the best apps to use with a gps mouse!?
most of all i am interessted in navigation software, like TomTom for example. but what are the alternatives to TomTom? what's your recommended nav software?
i would also like to know, what other usefull apps there are to use with a gps mouse...?
any info is appreciated!
thx in advance,
krz
I would definetly go for tomtom navigator 6, its the best ive ever used simple yet effective
IGO - the best for driving navigation
Wich country
You will not always have the choice because not always navigation software have the maps for the countries you want.
for exemple, Tom Tom is a lot for Europe and USA and Mapking for Asia
I am using three on my Artemis:
iGO 2006 Plus with the lastest Portuguese/Spanish maps (2007.07);
TOMTOM 6.032 (8351)with the latest Iberia maps (675.1409);
ROUTE66 Navigate7 with the latest Iberia maps (Q4, 2006 i think);
Both TOMTOM and iGO work better than Route66 because R66's maps are very old and i can't find anything more recent. My favourite is TOMTOM because of its ease of use and overall speed starting up/navigating. iGO has got the looks and the maps are as good (or seem to be) as TOMTOM's.
I also have a TOMTOM GO V3 standalone navigator with version 7 of both the software and maps (Iberia Version 710) and those are way more updated than version 675.1409. Also it has much more detail on the maps.
All this text to say that if TOMTOM7 comes out for the PDAs it's gonna be a winner for me.
i would say garmin...now there is the new mobile xt prog for free for ppc...correct maps for europe...including deep city view
thx for the answers!
i think, i will give iGo Plus a shot....
what other cool tools should i get for working with the gps...?
i once heard of tools to programm or configure the gps mouse...?
interessted in more tips and tricks,

good choice !
I use Igo and I like it more than Tomtom.
the next version (Igo 8) is coming soon and I was very impressed with the demo I've seen.
But is there any good GPS software with Middle East maps. I love navigation but dont have any GPS Software.
If anyone of you have a GPS software with Middle East Maps, so please can you give me.
Thanks

Where do you get this sw free?
http://www.garmin.com/garmin/cms/site/us
you can visit that site for further information, i guess garmin works the same way tomtom does, so you can get the software for free and maybe a test map and the only thing you need to buy are the maps. i didn't look up the price for a us / north america map now, because i am at work and the garmin site is really slow.
Hey,
Bought HD2 yesterday, its a amazing machine.
in some of the reviews i saw Compass Application and Co-pilot for navigation, but i am unable to find those in mine.
My ROM version is: 1.48.720.2(71249)WWE.
~SwK
In mine Compass can be found through Start > Tools. Or if you add a new quick link it's listed in the programs.
there is no copilot or navipanel for asia version if i'm not mistaken as i'm in malaysia, there is not pre-installed. by the way, co-pilot map not comprehensive for malaysia..
thanks CHIP STAXMAN
you may be correct kecikz, because i don't have a co-pilot and i preffer Google Maps.
Hi There,
i was wondering, i'm using turkey stock rom where footprint navigation default is copilot. and i know, some other stock rom is using google maps. is there any way that i can change it in the registry where the default navigation is other gps software like garmin or igo.
it will be best also that navipanel also default to other than co-pilot.
Thanks..
Dear all
I am owner of new HD2 with default OS Win 6.5 installed.If you can be so kind and make me clear some questions.Thanks
I bouth Hd2 primarly for GPS navigation,because of screen size.
1.I would like to run NAV IGO 8 and I have downloaded torent version 8.3.4.117940 (Nov.3.2009) is there any new one available for download today?
And please if there is any procedure how to install this on sd card...
2.Once installed NAV IGO can I update this maps from Naviextras.com?
3.How I can access GPS LAT/LONG position on my HD2?
4.What is your opinion about Copilot 8 installed by default in HD2 ,if I purchase Europe version licence for maps do I have to pay still for software ?
Many thanks
Sorry as I can not help you with all of your questions, but i can help you with one of them. Go to and download the SpeedoPhonev1.31 from freewarepocketpc.net. This app will show your longitude and latitude, plus it is a pretty cool app.
