Hello,
i'm using toomtom 6 for a while and it works great. But i miss the ability to track my route i'm driving. I have not found a programm, besides toolstools (you need a key, i've no paypal)), that is working.
So do you no a programm for Tomtom?
Now i'm searching for a other navi programm. I heard that iGo8 should be very good, but has it a tracking function? Does someone know a good programm with good cards and a tracking function?
best regards,
robert
Hey everybody,
is there any possibility to use the built-in google maps application without data connection? After disabling every data data connection and activating gps, I get an error telling me that a data connection is needed.
This doesn't sound logic, does it? I mean, I activated the GPS-module, so where is the prob?
Can anybody help me?
THX
Sebastian
The GPS will work without a data connection.....however, GoogleMaps needs a connection to download the maps of your area.....
Alternatively, you can use onboard nav solutions like TomTom7, Navigon, Igo, McGuider etc.....none of them free, though....
Is there an app that will simply use the onboard GPS to give you your position, speed, bearing, etc? Just a position would be useful. Either lat and long, or, say, OS grid ref.
Have a look to Nonigpsplot or Visualgpsce
Checking them out now. Thanks very much.
Personally I'm using BeeLineGPS, a commercial successor of VisualGPSce
That looks good too. Thanks.

Hey guys.
Im looking for GPS programs/softwares that are compatiable with the X1.
I heard many like TomTom, Garmin, etcetc..
Just wondering if there are any other recommened GPS softwares that do not require any internet connectivity. (for use especially in Asia countries)
Thanks!
TomTom doesn't require internet connectivity. I have TT7 on my X1 and do not use any data while navagating (I have not enabled QuickGPS which would use some data though).
I find TT7 very good and prefer it to my cars inbuilt gps.
I also use run.gps uv trainer as an exercise log - again no data connection needed.
A lot of GPS software don't use data. Garmin, Tomtom.. all you have to do is pre-load what maps you need on the card and your good to go.
I have tried all of them and IMHO the best one is IGO8.

where can i get a download if it?
I really like the UI on TomTom and I've been using it in both my WinMo's. Currently v7.910 in my X1 with the latest European maps and it works like a charm.
QuickGPS is set to automatically download data only when I attach the X1 to a computer.
I am pretty convinced that other nav software like Navigon and iGO will work fine too. Stick to one of the most popular because you will be able to find much more resources on the web, POIs and such.
Are they free? Or do i have to pay for the softwares?

Some are free, some you have to pay for.
Here's a good index of a lot of free GPS programs, you can read about them and see what fits your needs best:

what im about to request is quite demanding...
so.. please do not take it to heart.
Can you provide(or spoonfeed) me with one thats is totally free, with all maps downloaded so that i do not need internet connectivity when i use my GPS. Best is it comes with Asia maps.
(the list Flying H4x0r gave is too confusing.. and i couldnt figure which requires interenet, and which doesnt)
Thank you.
There are GPS Tools for free but there is no free navigation system on the market that does real offline navigation like TomTom, Navigon etc. So, forget it.
Google maps require an internet connection right?
mobile gmaps (google mgmaps) support online and offline maps. it is a java app and similar to google maps in operation. It does not do turn by turn navigation - but its better than nothing and its free.
garmin is your best bet. There are ways to get it free, but that would be highly ILLEGAL and i dont recommend it.

For offline maps, do i need to pre-download them?
So, the offline maps only allow me to find out where I am, is there right? :x
Thank you
I have installed TT7, iGo8 and Sygic Mcguider 7.70.
Bye.

Garmin has some problems on my X1i.
The backlight doesn't stay on, the phone keeps entering stand by. That's really annoying, and it doesn't happen with Tom Tom 7.
Is it just me not configuring something?

go to settings (on your garmin) -> Display -> backlight override -> tick always on
otherwise just go to your phone setting ->system -> power -> advanced -> untick the "turn of device if not used for...."
when the system goes to sleep, it cuts off the gps connection. It took me a while to figure that out. LOL
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.

Good day,
I was wondering if anyone could offer advice on which ROM would be best for my XP now it is no longer needed as a phone. I would like to use it as my car GPS.
I am going to use Sygic as my Navigation app (unless someone has a better suggestion), so the maps are stored and available offline. I will need the SIM to be active for traffic updates. That is about it.. I won't use if for anything else, so something as fast and responsive as possible...
Thanks in advance,
Steve
