Garmin?? - Touch CDMA General

Hey Guys, just wondering if it is possible to load up Garmin onto this device? I have tried Tomtom, but the road maps for my city are a little out-dated. I have been told that Garmin is a little better.
If possible is there a "try before you buy" site. I don't mind spending money if the product is worth it.
Has anyone tried this software?

yep i have it up and running on my htc touch... it should work with no problem... but you need to enable the gps in your touch first

Well that is good to know, is there a 'trial' somewhere? I have been looking but can't find one. Woudl like to see if I like it rather then spend money for something I don't like.

Sprints new Nascar program

A few of us were wondering over on sprintmogul.net if there's a way to make the new nascar app Sprint released work for the moguls. When you try to download it to a mogul it says the device is not yet supported. Ms.Survivor downloaded it for another phone and posted the file at rapidshare to see if anyone can make it work on a mogul. Looks like its going to take some java expertise to make it work. Anyone wanna give it a shot?
Here's the sprintmogul.net thread: http://sprintmogul.net/Forum/tabid/54/ptid/370/threadid/3075/forumtype/posts/Default.aspx
I hate to be one of those guys who bumps his own thread when nobody answers it...but the Atlanta race is in 5 days & I have no nascar on my phone. Anyone have any ideas? I know you guys are much smarter than me...
I too want this bad... tried the program but it wont work on my xv6800
Turning left is not a sport.
I didn't work on my phone. Sorry mate

Redbox locator for diamond

I'm not a developer or anything like that but I had an idea for a program. How bout being able to locate the nearest Redbox from your gps wouldn't that be great. I know there are some smart people on this forum and I wouldn't think it would be too hard to do, you can go on the internet and find the nearest redbox with your zip code so why not? It'd be pretty cool if someone could make this happen. It'd be even cooler if it told you what movies or new releases where at that particler redbox too and maybe allow you to pre order them too right from your phone. What do you all think, can someone make this happen?

GPS and Google Maps

Hi there,
Let me start by saying this is going to be a proper newb question Im afraid. I've had a search around but couldnt find what I was looking for, hence the new thread. I am sure there is already a ton of info for my problem so could someone please just point me in the right direction?
That said, the problem is this, I have absolutely no idea what Im doing when it comes to GPS.
I've been onto Google Maps and it all looks great but it has me positioned quite some distance away from my actual location. So I looked into getting some sort of GPS software so that I could make Google Maps more accurate (is that even how it works?). So far I dont want to go and spend my money on say TomTom7 or Igo8 just yet as I want to see how this sort of thing works first. So, I went and found some free GPS software (Im currently trying AzimutGPS) but everytime I try to connect it says "No GPS Signal"
I'm sure I'm doing something quite obviously stupid and wrong, I just cant for the life of me work out what it is!
Any help would be very appreciated!
go into quickgps in you prgrams list and download the info
the problem is you need to have this info otherwise getting a fix takes a very long time
Thank you for the help. I've done this and also found the option in Googlemaps to enable GPS (doh!) So I am now showing on the map as about 20 metres from my exact location, very cool indeed
For some reason I still cant get Azimut to work? Presumably something in the settings Im doing wrong but cant for the life of me work it out.
Are there any decent free navigation programs? Or is best to just pony up the dough and buy IGo8 or TomTom7?
tomtom 7 as softare is free, its the maps that cost money
but u get one free map on startup of tomtom7
hold onh ill get the cab

Software idear

hello,
First of all, scuse my english, i'm french.
I've got a idear for a new software.
Every night I park my car in a different place. And when I go to a big city too.
I'd like to have a sofware witch can indicate where is my car.
It could work like that : everytime I park my car, I push a buton on my phone, and when I look for it, the software help me to find it as a navigation software or on google map.
Do you think it'is a good idear?
best regards
DaD
I thought this exists already.
edit: there are tons of apps in the market doing exactly that
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

Thank
There are many applications like that

Weather App HTC

No HTC Weather and no navigator Copilot. Camera looks like crap also.
I just upgraded to W7 not because i wanted to but because I got so sick and tired of 6.5 not working. Not a thing I could do, 3/10 times I had to reset.
But Now where is all the applications? Where is the HTC weather application and the games and everything else my phone use to have. Maybe I am missing something or it is so obvious i have not seen it. BUt I want my home page to display critical info like it did in htc with 6.5. And I need my navigator maps back also. Co-pilot cannot find any navigators anywhere.
And is there a work around for the market place issue.

read the stickied threads in this forum and all questions will be answered.
Here is the short answer.
You can get full Live services working (with Market access) to download all of the apps you want with the simple tutorials in this forum

you can use navigon with uk maps.
New camera full resolution is available plus htc weather is downloadable also you can get the weather channel on app market.
Wp7 is excellent for my hd2 you just need to search & yee shall find my friend.
HTC weather app link
Do you have a direct link to download the HTC weather. I use this app a lot as I do photography in different countries.
either download HTC Hub after you get marketplace access or just flash this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944995
it's cooked into the ROM, as is chevron etc.. so all you have to do to get market access is call MS and get a code.
God help u another issue
Now that problem has a solution I have to spend 3 years in PhD School just to sync the dam thing. Why would i want my contacts and agendas in cyberspace? Sensitive info is between outlook and my phone.
These guys are forcing us into a place I am not comfortable with. Too much is syncing with too much. I visit Imdb and all my friends know. I go to the toilet and it comes up on skype "In the toilet"
Soon they will just digitize us into F.B.
More reading existing threads and less *****ing please.
I am venting because I though technology should make it easier. Drop the device on the cradle it syncs and that is that. Why is it so hard to sync. Why change a good thing? I have no idea why improve trivial things like the aesthetic and lose the things business people need (the entire reason for the smart phone is not music and videos)
I can vent cant i?
My Business HTC has now become a Toy Iphone, better at music than anything related to work. I think after reading the sync issue is a deal breaker, let me get this thing off my phone I have work to do.
http://www.companionlink.com/windowsphone/outlook/
maybe a fix for the sync issue
bravo.... afraid of syncing with the cloud, and solve it by syncing with g**gle? lol...

I think in your case its going to be alot longer than 3 years!
You've just installed an OS on your phone that you know nothing about, did you not think of doing a little bit of "reading" about WP7 before you put it on your phone
I'm not going to tell you whats just happened to your SD card
honestly why did they make it so hard?
Why force people to depend on the internet?
Why stop all the features that made me get rid of my Iphone.
Yes the UI is a dream, and 6.5 was a punishment but the good thing was flexiblity. Drop stuff on your SD card. And what happens when you are in some strangers house and need to give them a photo or a file?
Document sync needs another PhD.
I am on teh fence cuz I like the user interface because it works so fast and clean.
W7 the best way to convert your Business HTC into an Iphone.
I read about it, and the reviews didnt tell me about the sync issue or the office issues. Would it be so stupid to assume that a bloody smart Phone (i.e not a stupid phone) should be able to sync with easy. Now I have owned every smart phone known to manking even the good old Psion and the XDA o2, for the first time I have seen a smart phone turn into a normal phone.
Sell the phone, leave this forum. It will only mean fewer pointless spam threads like this one for the rest of the members who actually are able to read.

You can set WP7 to sync that stuff automatically with your skydrive. You can just give people the URL...
@ chumaj001 if you dont like a thread why are you replying Is communism forcing you to make useless remarks? NEVER understand these kind of people. You dont like it but you feel good by talking trash. Some of us actually buy these phones for their applications in the real world not for gadget boys toys.
I do have the solution to all you problems.....
Send me your HD2 and I will give you my old Nokia 6110 phone. It has no issues at all and does a great job calling and receiving calls. Seems perfect for your needs and level,
Cheers !
