Hi everyone,
I am looking for an application on PPC2003 to read
Garmin maps (IMG format).
Reason is that I have NOT go onto the GPS bandwagon yet
but I noticed a lot of Free garmin maps on the net.
This maps will come in handy even though I don't have GPS.
So if anyone knows of such an application, please let me know.
Alternatively, anyone knows what is the best alternative
to get free maps and free map readers (NON GPS)?

hello everyone...
im looking for some free gps software.
all i really need is it to give gps co-ordinates or nothings and eastings or something would be great!!!
thanks
google map works fine
Kaiser Forum
Try look on the kaiser forum - there are a few gps apps (stickied?) there that will do the trick. GPSTest comes to mind
There's also another 1 (gpsfree,or something) which gives you altitude also, something not common in other gps apps.
Google maps works well, i agree, but it doesn't give the co-ords that easily.
Cheers,
Richesse GPS is free and nice map-less GPS.

I have read a number of posts talking about using GPS software on the Xperia, such as TomTom7.
Note that I'm talking about software with downloadable maps so it can work independently of a data connection, unlike Google maps which is great software but needs the online connection.
The Wayfinder GPS software that came with my Xperia was rubbish - too slow, too fixated on UK, and too expensive to licence.
It seems that TomTom7 can only be downloaded from pirate sites.
Can anyone recommend GPS software for use on Xperia or WinMob6.1?
Thanks
i am using garmin. you can download the main program(for winmob) on the garmin homepage for free. then you just have to buy a map from garmin and thats it, works like a charm for me.

iGO My Way 8 is very good also.
Smooth scrolling, very nice looking, quick with GPS fixes, and very configurable.
You can pick up Sygic Mcguider 2009 for €79 from here...
http://www.mcguider.com/
It's JUST like Tomtom in general layout, and uses the same maps as well (TeleAtlas).
Yeah McGuider is really good. It works perfectly in wvga and is very easy to use. Not to forget that it's pretty up to date as well
I use automap 5.3. Work great and very fast.
Hi.
I use Route 66, and it's good for me.
hi, i no that the x1 does not have a built in GPS.
but i have seen videos where ppl actually use it as a gps.
maybe they install sum sort of application into the phone?
can any1 please explain how does GPS work on the x1?
THanks alot, any information is greatly appreciated...
X1 has built-in GPS so you can use Tom-Tom, Garmin, iGo, ...
Just install the program (garmin, tomtom, iGo or something else for windows mobile). If you won't be able to connect with GPS satellite just do the hard reset on the phone. Than go to Quick GPS in your programs and download the latest gps positions.

Wow sounds like someone just got the X1 out of the box.
1. Go to Start > Settings > System > GPS Settings (or something with GPS)
There you can select what COM port the GPS chipset will use to communicate with the OS or any other software.
2. Use the "HTC GPS tool" to see if you get GPS signals outdoors. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360477
The X1 doesn't come with any GPS applications installed, but you can add a number of other programs that use the GPS facility.
For example, you can install TomTom Navigator 7, Garmin Mobile 20 or iGo8 for turn-based car satnav.
Or you can use the phone as a GPS locator for something like Geocaching (GPS based treasure hunts). GCz2 / Geocaching
Or you can use Google Maps to find out where you are and let your friends know with Latitude. Google Maps with Latitude
Or you can use the GPS facility to "geotag" photos, that is embed the location where the picture was taken inside the image data. Footprints
so is it normal that when using google map, i cant find any satellite??
if you enabled gps in googlemaps
and of cause stand outside as gps generally don't work in doors
only outside and in cars and the likes
Hi,
I have just ordered my new HTC migic, but not sure if I can run TOMTOM GPS on it, any idea of suggestion?
Thank you in advance.
no u can't. yet.
NDrive
Destinator
Sygic Mobile Maps
Co-Pilot
IGO Amigo
IGO MyWay
MotoNav
Navigon

these are all GPS navigation applications with offline maps..you can find them everywhere. personally, NDrive is the best one. theyre coming out with version 10 which has lane-assist, signposts, TTS, and a few other useful features.
i think sygic is the closest to TomTom's interface. but when i used it the lane assist didnt work, poi's are terrible, routing isnt the best, and it shows N/A for some streets instead of the name. sometimes it would tell me to go onto roads that dont exist or make me take so many u-turns...lol
