I have seen lots of posts on here about people who have purchased Sat Nav Bluetooth devices for their phone only to find out that the software is not fully compatible or the screen jumps and then freezes.
I have found one that I think may work, it says it's compatible with Microsoft Windows Mobile for Pocket PC and the 2000 version:

has anyone else got this? any views?
I bought one of these with the newer Sirf Star III chipset in and it's great.

same here, had it for a couple of months, couldn't be better... Has an external antenna port to if you ever need to boost the signal. Donno if all the others have it...
that's good although why is it so cheap?
Do you use yours with your Wizard (o2 Mini XDA S)? Is the picture good and not jumpy and does the phone not freeze whilst in use?
Cheers all
EDIT: I see it says that it does not come with Sat Nav software, where can you get hold of this?
hi
I bought a Holox BT device from Ebay and works great with TT5 and wizard.
Good luck
Simon
I bought the £39.99 bluetooth one from www.mobilefun.co.uk and it works great with both Destinator 3 and my own GPS app.
What GPS software are you using? I have looked a a few andd can't decide.

Pewe, they have switched to a subscription based service for these now. The last free one was Feb 2006.
If anyone wants it, I have up to January 2006.
Jerry-S, nice one mate...
Tis ok my friend.
I have seen so many people struggle with tomtom and WM5 / Wizard and would love to just say, "Here, have a copy of my SD." Lol
But I can't cos it's not exactly......................

So I see ..... well I suppose they have to cover the work they put in to keep it up to date. It saved my bacon a couple of times so I guess out of gratitude I will maybe subscribe... :roll:

Well if you look at it from a hosting point of view, as soon as people get wind that you can get for free what some people have been charging for on e-bay, what are they going to do?
I am assuming that the main reason for the charge is for bandwidth charges, seeing as the rest of the site is freely accessible.
If you think about it, it's not a bad price to pay, especially as it's a hell of alot cheaper than a fine or loosing your licence / job.
Now all we need for HGV driver like me, is a really good comprehensive database of low bridges and a way to make TT avoid certain Poi's.

There is a thread on how to get tomtom to see your BT GPS unit using com 6 / 7.

OK, the rumored date is Jan 28th ... anybody know more G2 ??
I haven't heard anything official yet. I wish it would have come out before Tuesday since I will be going out of town and I could have tested it. I'll be back by the 28th, but I'll still be happy if its released by then. Hopefully they've thoroughly tested it and there won't be many/any bugs.

will the GPS by turn by turn on the phone? or do i need an adapter of some sort?

The GPS is just enabling the chip in the phone. You will need another app to actually use it. You could pay monthly for Telenav, which would use your internet connection to download maps as you drive. You could buy iGuidance, TomTom, or a similar program and load all of your maps onto your SD card. iGuidance will announce the street names, TomTom will just say "Turn left in 1 mile". This should make it work with Google Maps and Live Search as well. You can get directions off of these programs, but its not voice guided.
Check out this YouTube video - the author has comments "off" do you know exactly which software this is ??

Honest question/comment:
Everything I've read and seen in the last couple of months indicates the Titan would get RevA & GPS in early Q1, with the Vogue getting it several months later.
What did I miss?
TIA

Everything I have seen suggests that BOTH will be at the same time - do you have a recent article that says they will be staggered ??
I am referring to the Sprint Touch, and therefore the Sprint Mogul - everything I have read is that both will be at the same time ?

No, my data points are the standard rumors and speculation floating around all the sites. I've seen a number of comments about 'same time' recently, and a lot about 'staggered' in the couple of months preceeding that. The only published and official fact that I've seen anywhere in months is Sprint's statement about Mogul in Q1 on HTC's site and at BAW.
It would make perfect sense for them to be released at the same time - not that sense is something I would associate with Sprint! :=)
I will be thrilled if they both come out at the same time, and soon. I have given up on my Mogul and put it on a shelf pending a likely trade for a Treo 800w. My Touch is now my primary phone.

This is the new CoPilot Live 7 (http://www.alk.com/copilot/). I have this one also. The software is nice (but I haven't tried it on the Touch). The maps in my area are out-dated compared to iGuidance v4. CoPilot also doesn't announce street names, iGuidance is the only one that does this. ALK said they plan on releasing an update to CoPilot to make it announce street names though, I was never given a time frame.
january 28th is the rumored release for the Moguls GPS/REV.A release, the touch is not set to get a ROM update to enable such until at least Q2 2008.
This may sound stupid, but I'll ask anyway.
I have a Garmin GPS (Nuvi250) in my wifes car, is there anyway to pull the maps from that and use them on the Touch?

I'll clarify.
Once they release the update, if it allows us to use the GPS, could I take the maps that are on the Nuvi and load them onto the Vogue?
no you might not be able to use garmin maps as they are very heavily copyrighted and protected. you cannot even use maps from one garmin device to another
top of that .. u can't use it ..
but u can load from underground web ..
it is impossible to load from the map from nuvi to your pda ..

What is your source - rumors or actual fact ??
Can anyone else confirm this - Touch not at the same time as the Mogul ???
That was my understanding based on what I have read as well. I hope to be proven wrong.
so just because the mogul came out first they're getting the update first?
this is bull****. sprint/htc's logic is ****ing trash.
sorry for the foul language but this just got me flamed. If iPhone v2 comes out within the next 4-5 months (thats what I'm hearing or something like that) and if that **** comes with all the features I need/want... then bye bye HTC.
well i hope it is soon, i would RUV to have this pupppy havin GPS. I mean the latency for gaming will be a nice improvement and FPS games will be playable via that mobile web, but GPS via tomtom and google maps will be [email protected]
well i guess the 28th wasnt the date?
I've read a few contradicting posts so I want to make clear:
HTC Touch Dual (nike) HAS gps receiver.
It is enabled on my “Bell” ROM (Canada).
I used the Diamond test software and I can see about 10 satellites. (Nadavi_HTC_GPS_TOOL.cab)
I have also installed Google maps and Garmin Mobile XT and both work like a charm.
I don't think there is a register/settings you can change to enable it on your phone. I think you need a new ROM.
On the WIFI side, I strongly believe it has WIFI but we may need a new ROM to enable it.
back this up?
Any screenshots?
Where is this "Bell" rom
When i say screenshots i mean photos so that we know they arent faked and are deffinetly on the Nike
Not saying I Donm't believe you cos i have seen some posts quering this fact.
If your right, fantastic I just saved myself £30 on a GPS reciever
As far as my research goes, A so called "bell" rom is only for the touch, not touch dual...
Bell is a provider in Canada. I'm at work but I'll take some pictures and I'll post them tomorrow.
Ok Fair enough. I don't see how that works but ok. If you have concrete eveidence that fair enough. What made you think to test?
Look at the link and go through specifications:
http://bell.ca/shopping/en_CA_ON.HTC-Touch-Dual/67331.details
You can see it has GPS_NAV. It is an assisted navigation and you have to pat a monthly fee. I wanted to verify if it is a real GPS receiver or if they use a triangulation system.
Like I wrote in your other Thread, the canadian Touch Dual is a Neon400, which have built-in GPS!

Do you have an 528 MHz CPU? If yes, you have a Neon400 that comes with built-in GPS! And that's why you can't give us Niki-Users a GPS-enabled ROM!

Bad news, under the battery it says it is a NEON400.
We need a NEON 400 Forum to not confuse the Nike's. Sorry!
As title states, has any one used this GPS software on the Desire????
http://www.sygic.com
I´m using it..
Yes i´m using it and i find that it´s better than all they other Nav´s to Android.
Good to hear, im thinking of geting this soon. It look the biz......
Does it store on the sdcard or internal?
Does it have spoken stree names?
It store the app on the intern mem but the cards and so on, on the card. (like they other ones)
Not sure what you mean with spooken streetnames
Some GPS software say....turn left into desire avenue, then turn right into htc way............
Do you know what i mean?
I've been using Navigon since i bought the desire and it's working flawlessly, gonna try this sygic drive
The software is pretty good.
A few Cons:
Low resolution - Blurry look on desire
No way to make it personal - no other colour settings, cars and so on.
Seam to have a hard time syncing contacts - cant navigate to contact in your contact book.
Just wait and see Sygic Aura! It's out now on iPhone with hardware accelerated graphics and it looks incredible. It's coming soon to the Android platform, but I don't know if it will be accelerated on that too.
Sygic 's not compatible on my Desire. The resolution is not compatible (it stays in a corner of the phone). Do you have a workaround for this?

I have a Pumpkin unit. They have a distributer in the UK and Germany (I assume you're European with your Megane). I'm quite pleased with them. I bought a unit specifically for Toyota (I think only the connector was different) and it all fitted without problems. They have a reverse camera option which I didn't get, beeping sensors is enough for me. Internet reception wasn't great but I fixed that by installing a Teltonika RUT104 router with a special antenna and connected that over ethernet -> USB. Everything is fine now.
