I'm not sure if TomTom Navigation 6 will be working on Touch HD. As the new HTC comes without TomTom 7 pre-installed, which obviously cannot be bought from a retailer, I have to look for a new navigation software. Will Navigon be working on the new device?
It is certainly a good idea to choose a navi software from a company that has a commitment to PDA navigation, and hence new maps and mapshare-like offerings will be compatible. TT does not in general, but currently has a deal in place to provide navi software and updates for selected HTC devices only (Diamond, Raphael). But only with V7 maps, the latest V8-maps are not offered. And if you want TT7 for your HD, you have to revert to the underground
But let me point out to Sygic Drive, a fine navi soft from Slovakia, sold as McGuider by TT-owned company TeleAtlas. http://www.sygic.com/

Good evening,
I Have a Ipaq 1940 PDA with windows mobile 3. On the site of Igo thay say that IGO works on this PDA. I have also TOMTOM and this works fine but IGO will not find mij GPS Module( a tomtom gps Bluetooth Module).
Does anybody know what to do about it
Blaauw :shock:
Sorry blaauw, I can't help, but I'm interested in where you can buy I-Go as I'm looking for an alternative to upgrading my TomTom to v6 for my Universal. Their website doesn't seem to offer a buy facility.

Personally I wouldn't do that as a UK resident. IGO is very pretty and has nice features, but compared to Tomtom it's routing abilities leave a lot to be desired. I've currently got both IGO and Tomtom on my Universal.
IGO can be fun, because I drive a 4x4 and I like thundering down tiny tracks half covered in mud, but for the majority of time in sat nav use, I want to use real roads.
IGO is king in some countries where Tomtom has poor or non-existant coverage, but in the UK considering IGO as an upgrade to Tomtom will leave you dissapointed.
Check your GPS settings, IGO cannot see the GPS if it is set to COM0:, COM1 - 8 should be OK.
What does everyone think is the best Sat Nav software to use with the Trin? I'm a fan of Navigon Mobile Navigator, I've tried a few others but I can't decide which one to keep for sure...
I personally like Tomtom.. as everybody will tell you. I used iGuidance a bit but it kind of lagged and I like Tomtom's interface better. I still want to try Navigon but they don't have a trial on their website so meh.
I've tried Iguidance 2&3 and tomtom 6 on p3600 with the axl wm6 rom.
I only like Iguidance version 2 though as version 3 has significant voice lags. I believe it is the recordings that are messed up and might be able to swap over the audio files from version 2 to version 3 install folders.
TOMTOM 6 works great once it has loaded which takes about 3-4 minutes for me. I need it to load faster to be useable. I think the POI database on tomtom is better though i've not done any comparisons.
think am getting iguidance 4
Hi,
I haved use the TomTom 6 for a while, but Igo 2006 have a best interface. Not to say also that TomTom need the atifix software for not to freeze. You should try Igo 2006 and you will see that you do not need anything else.

Tomtom all the way for me......really simple to you and works for what I want. (I have only tried TT and CoPilot though)
No1. MioMap ( iGo)
Very close No2. TomTom.
You can not go wrong with these two. Stay well away from Navigon.
I could not coment on any others since I have not tried them.
I have tested Mio 3.2 and TT 6 on my Trinity and both work seamlesly.
You can have both of these installed and they will work happily alongside each other.

i've used google maps, smart 2 go and garmin cue as well as tomtom6 and i much prefer tomtom! shame they don't have New Zealand maps though
i've used google maps, smart2go, garmin cue and tomtom6 - i much prefer the usability of tomtom6 far ahead of the others.
real shame there are no New Zealand maps though
i search maps for tomtom of ireland.
But i not found
Can anyone help me out with the Orange GPS software. I have downloaded it and shows the gps as not active, any suggestions please.
I have called orange but they are hopeless.
cheers
Where are the maps voor iGo 4?
1st thing to check is that you have a GPS enabled ROM. All Orange SPV M700's are supposed to, but it seems a few slipped through the net. Also, if you have 'unlocked' the device, your radio ROM may have been replaced by an old version.
Go to Start/Settings/System/Device Information and look at the entry for Radio ROM. If it ends in **.11 you are OK; if not you will need to update the Radio ROM.
Have you got the Orange Navigation (Webraska) configured to COM9 and 57600 Baud? These are the default settings for the M700.

3-4 Minutes? Mine loads in 10 seconds and I've never had it freeze or crash.
How many POI's do you have selected? That apparently can slow it down a bit.
tomtom 6 all the way for me
loads fast....he may mean to find sats..mine takes about 30 seconds to find the sats

Ireland is included in the maps of western europe, or if you prefer just the maps of UK and IE. So it is present.
I've used igo 2006 and tomtom 6 for quite a while. While I like Igo much more than tomtom, the traffic system on tomtom is cool and to get traffic on Igo you need TMC Antenna. The only GPS units I found that have those cost the earth, so I am sticking with tomtom. And of course, because tomtom is soooo common, you find lots of people trying to customise it and as a consequence, you get thousands of poi's, many many cool voices... etc.
But to put things in perspective, if I had traffic on Igo, I would switch without a second thought. Hope this helps.
I would like to know which GPS software (Europe)- TomTom Garmin etc would be the best to install on my Touch Dual.
Many thanks for any advice.

I'am using Tomtom for 3 Years now on different platforms. Tried Navigon once but came back to Tomtom after 3 hours. For me Tomtom is the best!

Same here.
in poland tomtom is not good, the best is Auto Mapa: http://www.automapa.com.pl/?PEI=35489&lng=EN
Hi,
I am using Navigon 6 with the map of europe and for me Navigon is the best. I tried TomTom and Navigon on two devices (both HTC Universal) in parallel and decided for Navigon. It is easier to use and works better/ faster that TomTom. Don't know why mactron and ducamie decided for TomTom but I assume that they tried Navigon after they used TomTom for a longer time. In this case they might be a bit prejudiced......
Cheers

MioMap
I prefer MioMap (version 3.3) over TomTom.
Maps are very accurate and updated regarely.
I use TomTom, it's ui is what does it. But indeed I've used TT for a long time and so I prefer it. Navigon is better, the UI is much nicer and even better: TMC is supported. TT doesn't support TMC, the've their own traffic service, but it'll cost you a dime.
Second it seems that innovation and updates have stopped @ TT, I mean the navcore for the PNA is still updated but for us PocketPC users they've stopped.
So if you're new to navigation, choose Navigon.
Nobody with iGO 2006+ or Garmin XT ?
Well as a matter of fact, I've got Igo8 right now. Yust testing it, but damn this is my favorite after just 5 min. of playing time. Smooth (unlike Navigon), easy, configurable, lot's of features, but most of all Smooth, oh I said that allready let me say it again Smooth!!!
TomTom 6 is not working - do I really have to buy TT/ and all new maps ??????
If yes is there any better navigation software out ?
TomTom 7 for Windows Mobile is currently only available pre-installed on some of the HTC phones. You can't buy this software. At least not yet. Their hotline said that it will be available for other PDAs/Smartphones, but it's still unknown for which and when.
"iGo My Way" is an alternative.
Are you using igo on Xperia ? Is is an online software or do I have ti buy the maps ? How about TMC ?
Thanks !
I still don't have Xperia (should arrive today) and after them I'll try iGo.
It works exactly like TomTom, no online connection is needed.
In terms of interface and fexibility (options) iGo should be better than TomTom, but there were complaints about routing quality, so I'm not sure.
It has TMC but I doubt that it would work on X1 without additional hardware (special TMC receiver).
Actually, TT7 works on Xperia as well... but that can't be discussed here.... ;-)
Can you please send me a private message ref. TT7
Can I use the maps from TT6 with TT7 ?
no
and don't ask about warez.
iGo requires use of their specific MicroSD card though, right? You can't put it on a 8gb card so that you can also have music and videos on the device.
Anyway, sucks that TomTom 6 doesn't work. I believe there are no maps for TomTom 7 available for purchase yet anyway.
iThink (have heard somewhere) that it's possible to copy iGo to internal memory of a PDA or phone or to any memory card (eg. to a 8/16GB microSD). Then you have to call hotline and they will give you inbstructions how to re-activate the software. One time it should be possible and legal.
So we really don`t know by experience which GPS software is the best for XPERIA or ?
Is this IGO idea with the special card right ?
ZI currently have a tytn II and my tp2 comes tomorrow.As of now I run tomtom 6 with u.s. maps. I am wondering what is out there for the tp2 with u.s. navigation. Any help I can get is much appreciated.
I made the same move from a tytn 2, I managed to download version of tomtom7 (7.45?) and used my tomtom 6 maps I already had. As tomtom won't support the TP2 I didn't see the point of paying out for TT7 which would need to be fiddled with to work. I only use the tp2 as a backup anyway now, as I have satnav in the car.
