Hi All,
TomTom may be great for street navigation, but if you want to use your pda for hiking or 4x4 adventures then you need to use topographical maps. I have found oziexplorer to be excellent for this and have used it on my notbook up until this point.
Does anybody tryed using it on there universal, or have heard anything?
Thanks

This was a great piece of software but doesn't run on WM5. I don't need sat nav, just a map of the city I'm visiting, is there an alternative or is it possible to make it run on WM5?
Those maps are by now so way out of whack that it already hurts.
You can use any navigation program (including TomTom) without a GPS receiver (although it's beyond me why you would want to do that).
If you want something cheap, look at Mapopolis.
Pocket Streets 2005 works well on my Exec and you can download loads of maps from the microsoft website.
Pocket Streets 2006 also works....but it doesn't have voice commands and there are no directions from one point to another
So be wary about that when you think about buying Microsoft Street and Trips 2006 and thinking that you can use it on your Universal to map directions for you.
Also, I've checked the maps based on where I am....and a lot of the restaurants info are all outdated.
if it really is just plain old maps. i have pocket streets 2003 pn the universal, and you can use the 2005 maps. cannot remember where I got it from now. could try searching the web.
however, this isn't enough for me, I will be getting a gps later.
Hi,
I use an o2 XDA Mini and find that when using programs like TomTom, the clock seems to lose quite a few minutes. Is there something that I can install that will sync with the GPS signal to keep it on track?

GIS RUSSA has this functionality to sync with GPS time,

It is a good vector mapping piece of soft, I like it. You can use it to work with GARMIN .IMG files ;-)
We are heading for vacation...waahoo!
I forgot to find a map of the area for my wizard...it doesn't have a GPS, so I only need the map.
Can anyone recommend one?
Thanks.
actually, you can use tomtom even if you don't have a gps. It's great to calculate routes, find poi's or to use as a map
Pocket Streets ? Think you can import from Autoroute.
Thanks, Pocket Streets seems to work.
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.
Hi,
does anyone knows a good gps program, that doesnt need to connect to the enternet ?
i forgot to mention its windows mobile 6.5.
thanks
ohad
I use
Garmin
Ozi
Gps Tuner
There is a program that with it, you can easily download maps and satellite view from Google and use it in garmin....
I use Garmin when I want to go to a place and need navigation help while I am driving...but for other uses I use OZI because I downloaded all of maps I need from google...
Good luck!
