They offer a free download of a Speed camera database - latest release Feb 2006.
They also have a lot of other interesting stuff relating to GPS on Pocket PC, Smartphone and Palm.

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......................
.....................well, ya'know, kosha. LOL
The last free one was Feb 2006

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.

Hello Guys
I wonder if any of you here is an oldschool nerd that would love (like myself) to have an MSX emulator on their Pocket PC
Anyone is up for this?!
I really would love to play Zanac & Castle on my PPC, anyone has the time & knowledge to do this?
Hope you all had a nice weekend!
All the best
Emulator
I found these
http://www.zophar.net/ppc/msx.html
I tried them both, they both run on my Universal but both could not run the ROMs I loved & still love (I play with them sometimes on my laptop with a special MSX emulator )
Have any of you tried these before?!
Can I be rude and ask if anyone is interested in the first place? As I didn't get any reply to the topic (when I thought that the site is full of old school nerds like myself )
Cheers Mates!!
Yeh that would be a good thing.
While me mates had speccies, i had a good old msx! Never waited for games to load like me mates had to cos of the good old cartridge slot! Hehe!
Kings Valley 2 anyone?

That was an excellent choice mate!
I myself however prefer Castle, Castle Excellent & Zanac
These were my favorite games (still are lol)
So did you got the chance to try the MSX emulators I have refered to in the previous post? Did they work with you? Do you need Kings Valley 2 ROM file? LOL
Cheers Mate!
Well im at work so will try them later on tonight, my pc is playing up at home so have to get that sorted first.
Nemesis 2 was also a great game, along with F1 Spirit and Knightmare! Hehe! The memories, theyre all flooding back!
Got a few roms thanks, used to use them on me laptop, before i sold it! hehe!
Which msx did you have? I had the toshiba and then the pioneer.

hey did anyone manage to complete salamander's level 6 on their msx?
i never managed to kill the last guardian in level 6?
i also tried to see if using salamander with nemesis II would give the secret new level which would enable me to beat the guardian in level 6 would work, but no luck?
can one play these games on the universal?

I hope your PC is sorted out now & that had the time to try the emulators, please update us when you can.
As for my MSX it was Yamaha
Have a nice weekend

Hello xda_guy,
Well well well LOL, finally I found the nerd generation I belong to
As for Salamandar I couldn't play that because if I remember well, it needed MSX2 and mine was plain old MSX so wouldn't run it
However if you want I remember there is an emulator for PC that has cheating feature in, where you NEVER die if you are curious to see whats after level 6
As for being able to play it on Universal, well this is why the original post is all about, if you check my post where I put a URL, you will find that there are two different MSX emulators for PocketPC, the problem is I tried them both, they both run on my Universal without error messages, but they did NOT operate any ROM (Read Only Memory which are binary file images of the cartridges we used to use in the MSX era, I am not talking about the Universal ROM), so if you got the chance to try them both, and see if they work with you, maybe something is wrong in my Universal ROM, or if I am doing something wrong way, or if I am missing something.
Please whatever you find out, share it with us & maybe if it works, we can organize a nostalgic championship on who would finish a game first or who would go further or anything like that.
Until then, have a great weekend
Cheers
hey cerberu
you finally did find the nerd gen, i am surprised that so many of us had msx computers, my mates only had commodores's and ibm compatible's
i had a sony hitbit 32KB, i believe that was msx. I am just getting used to my universal, so have not downloaded any emulators, do i just download it and install like any other application?
will keep you posted soon as i manage to get something going, have a nice weekend

Hi xda_guy
I am glad I did
I am starting to think a nerd once, a nerd forever LOL
My friends had commodores & sinclairs, then later on some had MSX, as for IBM compatible, they were VERY expensive that era, as with MSX you could use your TV for display so it was more home oriented.
Anyways if I remember well mine was Yamaha AX170 with 64kB (it is funny how these GREAT games (back then at least) were but a few kBs.
As for the emulators it's not even installation, all you need to do is to download them, then copy them into your storage card or device memory, then run them, you will get the usual warning as it can not identify the software publisher, you can run them and they wont ruin your Universal (they didnt ruin mine), the problem is that I believe they were written for previous version of Windows Mobile, thats why I couldnt get them to operate any ROM, my friend is coming back after the weekend from 12 days business trip, he has an i-mate PDA2k, so I will try it on his PocketPC & see, if you had better luck yourself please tell me what did you exactly do, then we will start a Championship (though my boss wont like it for sure LOL).
Finally I would like to add, I found a stand alone VERY old game from Atari 2600 Generation (remember that big black box? Or am I getting back way too back in time? LOL) I was saying I found a PAC-MAN game that is working ok on my Universal, it does not need emulator or anything, it is a stand alone application, if you are interested (or anyone else) please let me know and I will provide the link or upload it.
Have a nice weekend (or what is left of it)
Cheers & Good night!
hi
i have got a good mind to chane my handle to hitbit_guy , yes, i was using a 14 inch sony as my display yamaha ax170 was more advanced than the sony hitbit if i am not mistaken.
atari2600, that is the original, ah yars revenge was my fave, then along came the atari clone's wow, at some point, the 2600 stood for the number of games "pre-installed". pac-man, yes, very much interested, show me the link. my office mates will be interested

As for display, I used our 20" Sony Trinitron TV (that was really something back then lol, imagine playing your favorite games on that huge display ), I tried to find Emulator for Atari as well LOL, I found one that is distributed as an open source, and I asked a friend who works as games programmer for cellphones to port it for Windows Mobile 2005, will let you know when he is done (if ever LOL), mean while enjoy this (you & your office mates :twisted: dont let the boss catch you LOL)
Good night mate!
thanks for pacman, does it run on hp devices too?
alpha squad, load runner were neat too(there even was a rambo game), however could not get beyond a certain level, the lack of a save functionality on msx killed the chances of completing the games.
i think what will be real cool is playing games during meetings

Good day xda_guy
I am glad you like it, I don't know if it runs on HP devices as I've never tried that, I don't know what their CPU is, and I don't know if it has to do with that, I tried to look for the site of where I got the Pac Man from but I wasn't able to, anyways if I remember well it was designed (if I am not wrong) for ARM CPUs, if HP uses ARM, then I guess since its same software & same hardware, I guess it would work, anyways, you can wait till tomorrow & let one of your office mates with HP PPC try it & let us know
As for Load Runner, absolutely true, it was one of the games I liked (I like puzzle & brainteasing games) the only thing I hated about Load Runner was it lacked music, and it's characters were way too small even for the 20" TV display LOL.
Rambo, nope not my style but my friends liked it, and yes I agree that save game was a missing very important feature, Castle & Castle Excellent did have save game (they charge you for one life to save though), I am trying to remember, did Kings Valley had codes on which you can start from next level if you finished them successfully, or was it just 'The Lost Viking' game for Amiga & PC that did that?!
Have a nice weekend (or what is left of it)

hey cerberus
wil try pacman on the hp and will let you know, perhaps it was compiled for the unversal platform and will nto work on the hp?
i never heard of castle/castle excellent, one game that i managed to finish and liked a lot was magical whiz kid

Hey xda_guy
to be honest, this is the first time EVER since I've joined XDA Developers, that I came to such shock, I was literally :shock: :shock: :shock: you dont know castle & castle excellent??!!!
Dude the main reason I want MSX emulator is because I never had the chance to finish Castle Excellent back them (I did finish Castle though), you might want to check these links
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Castle_(game)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Excellent
You know the word addiction?! Castle games were my addiction back then (not that things changed much since that time LOL, like I said earlier, a nerd once a nerd forever )
Now whenever the MSX Emulator works for our Universal, I want to ask you to download Castle & we will play & he who finishes first is the winner.
As for HP & PacMan please post your experience here, it might not help me myself as I dont have HP, but it might help others who might want to try the game on their PPC.
Have a great last few hours of weekend
Hello xda_guy
any updates?!
Hello cereberus
sorry for the late reply. work has been a nightmare last one week
i checked out castle, looks interesting and addictive , unfortunately work has taken up most of my time, will install the emulator tomorrow and give it a whirl.
i dont think my colleague tried pacman on hp, he was overwhelmed with work, the boss is away next week so i will ask him to give it a try if he has not tried already
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?
please bare with me although I'm technology entusiast I'm a little iliterate, i purchased about 2 years ago a htc x7501 that came with tomtom7 preinstaled I downloaded what I think was one free map of miami fla because it was the only place i traveled that i needed the gps now days i find my self traveling to other cities in us but i cant get any other map.
the thing is thqt when i try to purchase a map from tomtom you have to choose fron a list of pda/phone models and mine is not listed. is there any way for me to get another map for us. any help you can give me will be much appriciated.

Have you tried TomTom Home on your PC? At one time I had it TomTom Home installed and it recognized my phone and offered me the ability to purchase maps. Not sure if your device / Home will work together but it is worth a shot...

Am going on a roadtrip vacation in 2 weeks and my only GPS navigator I have is what isnt working on 2.2
I guess you can say its my own fault to upgrade the phone´s OS, I can anytime reverse to 2.1...
But what really bothers me is they already have the iFon 4g version available!!!
So here I am looking for a quick and 1 step at a time solution. Whats the best nav out there thats good and reliable for Froyo?
Thx and advance!

They said on the 25th that it should be ready next week. So you might be in luck!

Navigon is free to install and they have a 30 day trial period with their full functionality so it should give you the time you need (unless your trip is longer than 30 days).
I got so fed up with waiting for Copilot to fix things that I went ahead and bought Navigon and have been pretty pleased with it.
