Hello, I'm new to the forum.
I'm interested in using the HTC Wizard with a GPS software managing TMC like Navigon MobileNavigator 5.
Does anyone have any experience with this match?
Thank you in advance.
tried Navigon with my MDA and its very very slow
Hi,
I also use NM5 on the MDA. I think it's working fine when you overclock the MDA :lol:
If installed the map on the SD-Card and NM5 itself in the RAM.
Regards,
I am using TOMTOM - it takes less resources than Mobile Navigator and is working fine! You can have a TMC like support from TOMTOM using GPRS and a PLUS Service of TOMTOM- that is with a yearly extra fee - but you do not need a more expensive TMC GPS solution.
You have to calculate what is better for you.
@wawibu: How do you do?
Navigon on Qtek 9100
It´s work very fine and fast. No problems.
Qtek 9100 with Navigon 5.2.5
I've got a demo copy of Mapopolis on my 8125. I'm using a Holux GPSlim236 over BT to get GPS info.
Overall it works fine. It has a few quirks, like not always picking the route I would take but that's to be expected I guess. Searching large maps like Cook County, IL will sometimes freeze the device for a few seconds while it looks and sometimes will not come up with the address match. The voices do not impress me either, but it does get you to where you need to be.
I'm probalby still going to buy TomTom for the US though. From what I've seen and read, TomTom beats all, and it's only $50 more than Mapopolis.
Hi
Is somebody using IGO with success???
I have a Nokia GPS module and according to the status lights it has a position and is connected to the Pocket PC - still IGO doen't know of a Positon.
I use COM6/38400/NMEA
Any Ideas?

please provide a little more info about your pocket pc. what brand, what model, what operating system?
cheers

Hi,
I can only say that it works for me using the com8, 4800 baud with Clipon-BTGPS.
You can check my rom version and my model in my sign.
have you create an outgoing port in bluetooth settings?
Hi
Yes I created an outgoing port. And If I Trust the LED's on the Nokia Bluetooth GPS mouse there is a Connection.
The settings worked on my Wizard.
I have a T-mobile Vario II with Austrian Software.
ROM 1.21.112.3
Radio 1.05.02.00

Hi
I made one more test I have a little .net application porgrammed that talks with the GPS. And I get Data allright with exactly the same settings.
In the Meanwhile I am on COM4 with 38400 baud.
Also Navizon Works. - Strange Strange Strange.
Then I use Navizon as a virtual GPS on COM8 and it works - how strang can it get.
Navizon on the other hand doesn't recognize the phone Part of the TyTN

Hi
the Thing with Navizon in the middle is verry unstable = not usable.
Anybody other Ideas?

Hi
Anybody runing I-GO on Hermes so far?
Is it the GPS or the Device not working with I-GO
TOM TOM 5.2.21 works no problem.

iGo works perfectly in my TyNT
iGo works perfectly for me. I'm using NMEA com9 and a 4800 baud rate with my fortuna clip-on.
I also have tomtom (not installed yet) but go with iGo because I visit eastern europe often (Croatia at the weekend).
A nice touch is that inserting the memory card autoruns the application. To take advantage of this I would be interested to know how much of the application can be moved to the memory card (freeing up memory in the device)? In an ideal world the application would be totally contained on the memory card. Any ideas?
Hi
I also have new News:
As it as TOMTOM is working it is Realy the combination I-GO Nokia LDW3 that causes the Problems.
My Current workaround is to use GPSProxy which is Free. It is more stable than the previous workaround with Navizon.

Anyone with experience of both care to voice an opinion?
I'm a long time TT user, but I'm getting a bit sick of performance issues of v6 on the Tytn.
With the advent of a GPS with built in TMC and Destinator's compatibility with it, I'm very seriously considering it.
However I saw an Acer PNA with Destinator on it and the UI looked pretty unwieldy, so I'm not too sure.
Any opinions?
Ouuuh Destinator is Bull****. TomTom an Navigon are the best, i prefer Navigon, but v6 ist not yet out for PDA and there isn't a "activation fix" for v5 on WM5 (for WM2003 and PNA there is a keygen), so i'm using TomTom 6 on my Prophet, without problems or performance issues or something like that.

I don't have a Tytn, but an ooooooold Himalaya, until a few weeks, I was using Tomtom, but I decided to change because of too much bugs. Pocket pc freezing, Tomtom crashes because SD card not found anymore, crash when someone calling and it is worse in Tomtom 6.
So I found I-go, and I'm very happy, it's fast, it doesn't crash, it is very stable, it is very easy to use, I won't come back to Tomtom for sure....

Navigon on WM5
Hi Folks,
I have Navigon Mobile Navigator 5, version 5.2.6 with a cracker to allow "backing up" maps. If anyone is interested, happy to share. It worked out of the box with my Magician (MDA Compact with WM2003) and no problems installing on MDA VARIO II (Tytn) with WM5.
I don't use TMC as I do not have a receiver.
Navigon interface is OK, with good loud spoken instructions, great when driving in Rome on hols.
Regards
Richardracer
I use both D6 and tom tom V6 on my trion.....no problems at all with both programs.......but i do prefer then TOM TOM over the D6......i reckon the interface is a lot better and load up is quicker from the start and after putting in an address the TOM TOM seems faster to load.....few hang ups on TOM TOM but all i had to do was go back to the today screen without closing the program and then back to TOM TOM....and everything is fine again.....
Destinator 6
I bought Destinator 6 last week.
While TomTom is faster and the UI is nicer, I do prefer the directions given by Destinator. They are easier to follow while driving. The Australian map is also much more accurate that the one coming with TomTom 6. Before I was using a VDO device mounted in my car, and I guess Destinator is closer to the VDA interface that's why I prefer the Destinator.
There are a few very annoying bugs with Destinator 6 on my imate JasJam. Most of the time there will be no sound: so no vocal instructions.
From time to time it will refuse to see my BT GPS, while both TT6 and the GPS test application has no problem opening the serial port.
If I reset the JasJam then Destinator find the BT GPS without any problems.
If Destinator vocal instructions worked, it would be a winner for me. It has never crashed on me so far. While TT6 crashes from time to time.
I think TomTom v6 is the best after using them both.
Anyone has tried using a bluetooth GPS thingie with the Herald and any apps like Destinator or TomTom?
If yes what was your opinion?
My main questions are on:
What app you used and with which GPS hardware?
Battery consumption
CPU/Mem usage and how well the app run
^_^ tnx a million.
Im interested in this as well. Does anyone use any GPS software for their Wing?
I use TomTom 6 and Route66 with a Holux GPSlim236...
The battery consumption depends on the time I use it... Long usage time means more battery drain.
The CPU/Mem usage I'm not sure, but the apps run ok without visible delay between the real position and the position indicated by the program.
EDIT: Forgot to tell onde thing... In TomTom6, the more POI's you select the bigger is the delay between the real position and the one indicated by the program.
I'm using iGO My Way 2006 with this GPS mouse and I'm very satisfied with it.
Have used the software so far in Germany in Netherlands and it didnt fail me at all.
Speed is great on my XDA terra (and before on my XDA neo) which is important,
because some navigation software are running slow on those 200MHz devices.
It's important because on shorter roads and lots of corners the display scrolls
way to slow while you are actually already in the corner.
The voice commands are usually exact and in time just not the display.
Right now I'm testing Navigon MobileNavigator. The map looks nicer, but it is slower than iGO. Can't tell much about TomTom, Route66 and Destinator.
Haven't got my hands on them yet.
I'm using a Holux M1000 GPS Bluetooth Receiver with Destinator 6 and Destinator 7.
Destinator 7 freezes sometimes, but I think it's related to the "Stand by" configuration. With Destinator 6 it works fine.

Well, I'm not yet on WM6, but TOMTOM6 works great with my herald, with a lot of POI, without any delays, and i use a MTK chipset's bluetooth GPS receiver.
I am told that WM6 is faster than WM5 for softwares such as tomtom, so...
Wing/WM6/TomTom6 here. After the pagepool hack (6MB), and after removing most of the stuff from the startup folder (my5aves in particular), TomTom works just fine, not a problem.
Battery life is satisfactory, much better than Axim x30 for sure. You might have to shut down huuuuuge programs like PocketIE manually, before starting TomTom.
Ask some specific questions, please. I'm too lazy to write a complete review this time
I have a WM6 Wing with a Holux 1000 BT GPS. I can't seem to get Tomtom 6 to work on it. The program just can't find the receiver. iGuidance 4 works fine even though it is a bit sluggish. Can anyone help me? I think I've tried two different types of BT GPS receivers and still no luck.
I am running TT6 on WM6 Herald.
TT6 is not that smooth as on my previous Qtek 9000...although I am overclocking to 247 and running on 8MB PP. Maybe its caused by my 4GB MicroSD card I dont know!
Also I have a few "bugs" on my TT, voice instructions sometimes do not match the visual commands and the daylight/night colors function is reversed.
Have reinstalled TT on a fresh WM6 installation with the same results...
Will see now if there is a difference between version 6.01 and 6.03...
And yes I have paid for my TT6 !
HTC4350 here with Holux GPSlim 236
Working with MapFactor Navigator 6, GPS Utilities and Oziexplorer just fine
Also tried GPS Tuner but it won't start because it needs more free memory, though i haven't yet tried the pagepool change.
Other than that, works perfect

Try 6MB PP. No glitches at all, as long as I exit Internet Explorer first. And of course removing everything but btdwake, CapNotify, poutlook and WiFiInit from Windows/Startup. I think I'll remove poutlook, too and see if that stops ActiveSync from starting all by itself all the time.
Also I have a few "bugs" on my TT, voice instructions sometimes do not match the visual commands and the daylight/night colors function is reversed.

None of that here, using 6.030 (8320).
I am using TT6 with WM6 without any problems! And it runs fast!
My BT GPS receiver is a cheap Sirf3.

Using TT6 (6.0.3.0 8320) with a TomTom BT GPS and it works great, never had to configure the GPS, TT always find it. But I can't get OziExplorer working with the TT GPS.
Thanks
Hello all,
I own a tmobile wing..
and am also planning to use gps on it..and plan to buy the holus m1000 as well since many of you already use it.. but when looking up prices on tomtom6.. it's usually around 150.00-250.00
can you guys please tell me of a site where you found it relatively cheap.. ?
Hi does anyone know if you can use TomTom7 on the HTC touch 3g, thanks for your time.
Nick
Yes.
Loaded it on sons 6 months ago no problems.
Only problem you need to install No Data and modify settings as it tries to log on to Orange, well it did on his.
Also running TT7 on my Touch 3G..
It works OK, doesn't lock up HOWEVER.. There is a fair lag between where you are and where it shows you on the map.. It may only be 1/2 a second but you can travel a long way in that time. Very anoying if you are trying to find your way through a city with a lot of turns..
I just use mine now as a backup otherwise I use a TT XL IQ live... (mind you even that has locked up a couple of times in a 6 weeks I've had it !!!)
Phil-w
Yes it works. I, however, use an external bluetooth GPS reciever thus avoiding the slow satellite 'hunting' you get with the built in one on startup. As for lag, not noticed it, must be the external GPS working better.
Tomtom 7
Hi thanks for the repies I tried to install it on my 3G but all it said was not compatable with the device any ideas to get it working thanks for all you time.
Nick
where did you get it from?
Hi got it off ebay but it is an orange phone
my tomtom 7 works fine on my jade
Hi tried to load tomtom 7 onto the phone again but just keeps telling me this is not compatable or says not a true windows programe I am stuck any idears how to get it on the phone thanks for all your time
Nick
I try TT7 on my T3238 but doesn't work properly. Few minutes works OK, sometimes it jam. I change TT -> iGO8. It works OK. I have new maps of EU and works great! Good luck!
Hi,
Loaded TT 7.9 onto Jade WM6.1 Pro.
everything works fine but I must agree with Wolves4Ever, using an EXT. GPS
brings better results.
Hello all
I installed TT7 v7.450.9028 with France map v720.1802 on my Jade (HTC official rom).
A-GPS is off, TT7 works but I have the same pb as I it is not smooth (1 image per 0.5 second). I have also route66 navigate 7 -> it is very smooth !
As a consequence, the internal gps is not for me the limitant factor
I will try the last TT7 lolite version, but today is there some parameters I can change to improve the TT7 speed ?
Thanks !
Ok so I made a test today > everything is fine !!! It works great
I have the Lolite version v7.916 with the same map, I removed all the POIs vision on the map, it is very smooth.
