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

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.

I've got it on my Wizard (o2 XDA MiniS)
Tomtom v5.210
GPS Driver v1.20

There is a thread on how to get tomtom to see your BT GPS unit using com 6 / 7.

Nice job... Telenav
Enjoy...
Sorry, before I execute this CAB,,,, what is it? Like a TomTom GPS thing??
Telenav is a Navigation tool. Unlike TomTom, it uses maps stored online, that are up-to-date and updated frequently. They use NavTek if you wonder. Check the details here: http://www.telenav.com/products/tn/
I use it on other devices and love it also on my Advantage.

How does it compare to Google Maps? (EDIT: Never mind, just looked at web site, and it looks awesome!)
What carrier do you have, what device do you claim to have? THansk!
Pay by the month for use? No thanks I will stay with Igo that way I will not incur any data charges plus monthly usage.
I think I'll stick to CoPilot 7

7? I have 6, and Copilot Live is at 6 for pocket pc. Yes, it;s great, even with the small screw-ups on the VGA screen.

I run on many different providers ranging from T-Mobile, Telefonica and others. I have an HTC branded Athena (Advantage/X7500). Runs fine, as long as you create an account with them. I don't mind the premium since the maps are precise, up-to-date.
Review of TeleNav
OK, downloaded, put in my credit card (have until 8/11 to cancel) and... WOW!
Pros:
Very nice feature set. Best implementation of searches for points of interest that I have seen; makes GoogleMaps look downright clunky! One of my favorites was search for lowest gas prices. Can also search for restaurants by type, just by clicking. And the results seemed very accurate. Really, really cool. And the fact that it is live means that you don't have to wait a year for updates.
Haven't tested the voice recognition yet, but a neat idea.
Nice big buttons. Hi-res maps. Attractive.
It is surprisingly responsive, even when on EDGE. Although I haven't tried an interstate at 80mph yet. This is a keeper... NEARLY.
Cons:
My biggest concern is the routing seems a little "creative". I did routes to about 10 locations near and far, and I would say it is comparable to Mapquest 2001. In one case, it inexplicably routed me through a subdivision rather than the direct route. Then I remembered... Mapquest used to give me that same stupid detour! In another, a 8-9 mile trip routed out at 23 miles! Maybe it's just the area I live in, but I'm not sure I'd want to rely on it if I really needed to get somewhere in a hurry.
The only other gripe is that while the user interface is pretty, sometimes the menus are confusing. I would hit the Menu button and get a set of options that weren't at all what I expected.
Also, with MvRTrueVGA, there is a gap between the bottom of the app window and the bottom of the display where a little bit of the app below peeks through. OK, this is a hack, so I can't be too harsh about that. But wouldn't it be great...
Summary
Bottom line, this has the potential to be THE killer GPS app. It's not there yet, but I'm betting this will get better in the next while. I definitely plan to keep playing with it at least until August 11, in conjunction with GoogleMaps and/or iNav as a second opinion. I'd be interested about experiences others have had, particularly with routing.
WGARY,
Have you tried traffic function with it? If traffic info is really up to date and integrated to routing. $10 may be ok for up-to-date map and real time traffic.

Traffic really isn't an issue where I live. My only real beef is the routing. Otherwise, I would gladly give the $10/month... might anyway!
I've been wondering when someone would come out with something like this, but for me it's monthly fee is a deal breaker (or needing a data plan for that matter) because I almost never need/use GPS, so I don't want to pay $$ per month to use it once in a while...
Still I wish them luck and am glad to see them improving GPS.

CoPilot Live 7 will blow you away - it is a vast improvement over 6.
When is 7 going to be made available? Do you know yet?
Beware of this product for the time being if you are UK based - it doesn't work, the program installs fine from the link but it is not possible to activate it. They have said six weeks (ish) before rolling out PDA compatability for Europe - for the time being its Blackberry devices only - Mike

:-S You got me curious now....
I love the fact that when I'm on the road for a long period, people (family, friends, customers) can track me and get an ETA on when I arrive, since I put my routes in CopilotLive. Maps are rough on edges, POI are not as rich as many features. I love TeleNav and consider TeleNav Track for the bidirectional functionality. Will see when they realease for the Athena. It's the really the best navigation PDA around in my eyes. By that time, I hope Alk will release Copilot Live 7. Can you send a screenshot? PM me if needed, I wonder how you got your hands on it and when it's due for.
Cheers.
Hey how did you guys get telenav to find the gps on the x7500? It keeps telling me that it cannot find it and to seek a clear sky position.
Thx
i didn't not notice it requried data plan before installation.
now, how can i uninstall it? TeleSav is not shown in the 'remove program' list. :-(
BTW, i still love my tomtom application.
UK friendly GPS software.

I have tried another one, webraska. I find not as nice as Telenav, but very close. excellent coverage in UK, Whales, and France. On my last trip I used it and found it just as useful as Telenav. Check it out... Webraska. For my friends on the other other side of the pond.
Anyone happen to know if this version works on other PPCs? Telenav hasn't updated their other Windows Mobile versions in years.
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...

Hi
I have an HD2 running android. My contract is with Orange and i am on the panther 40 plan. Inclusive with that plan is Orange Maps, normally Orange maps is imbedded within the OS but as i got my phone from the carphone warehouse and it is now running Android I do not get this option Has anybody had experience with this? if so were you able to resolve it? is there an orange Maps .APK somewhere?
Please help....
Is there anything specific you want from Orange Maps that you can't get from Google Maps? Or is it that the data is included in your plan? If that's the case then running the Android version will probably not make any difference and you'll still use data regardless.
Bear in mind (as poo as it is) that they sold you a WM device with WM software, compatible with their network requirements. You simply may not be able to get an Android equivalent.
My only advice is to go and have a search round the Desire forum. They did package Orange Maps on that device, so it may be available in the forum. To be honest, I don't really fancy your chances though. Most people get rid of what's considered "bloatware" as soon as they can.
Good luck mate

Hi John
Thanks the the quick response.
To be honest, I would probably never use it but as it is included with the panther plan I thought I might as well try it, no problems if I can't though ( I don't have a car ATM anyway )

lol. No loss really then, which is good. I thought Panther had unlimited internet anyway (or as unlimited as they ever are!)
Just use Google maps - it's great, and comes with free satnav. I bet Orange maps doesn't go 3D with a 2 finger swipe

Dear members:
I have Ndrive 11[gps software] in my galaxy s ,if you have any questions about it please feel free to ask away.
pros:
new interface, simplified
super fast gps lock ,less than 5 seconds!
Weather forecast
new share feature for facebook ,favorites,my location, etc
support for foursqare.
google places search within app.
cons:
The above features in blue text crash the app when trying to log in,not a deal breaker but never the less i would like it to work.
But compared to the versions that i have in windows mobile devices it is miles better.
greetings! i have Ndrive 10, i can't find Ndrive 11 on android market...how does it work? can i upgrade using the same maps or i have to pay again? thanks!

Ok, thanks, maybe it'not still available in Italy...anyway, i really don't like this policy, it's not fair toward customers, I'm the only one?

it is available to Italy, just use the Ndrive word in the market not ndrive 11,
a list of contries\regions will come up.
about the facebook problem etc....
Ndrive support just told me that a fix will be out inthe coming days.
lucky for me a use ndrive 10 in other device, but it should be an upgrade option, i must stress that when i bougth the app it was not listed on ndrive website yet.
how do u like ndrive? im thinking of trying it
i see, this time main program is given together with maps...again they should give an upgrade option with a discount to whom already bought Ndrive 10 (in my case i bought all europe maps). i will not give my money for ndrive 11 to pay again for ndrive 12 and so on wtf. thanks for your answers OP.

To be honest the reason i got it is that Ndrive is the only gps software for android that offer the most features at the moment plus it is the only one that has maps for the island i come from, Madeira.
personaly a love Igo8 but so far is only available for windows mobile.
I also trying Aura sygic, now this software is allot more polished than ndrive but it does not have the google feature that i love in ndrive.
Sorry ... but IGo MyWay is available for Android. Try a search for "iGOMyWay v8.4.2.139242 for Android"
I've using NDrive (10) on my SE Xperia X10i since last summer.
I find the gui a bit clumsy, but still I think it's ok.
I agree with regards to their upgrade policy!
I received the following answer today:
Dear Costumer,
Thank you for contacting NDrive Support.
While acquiring a NDrive product, the customer acknowledges that is acquiring a life-time licence for the product as it is presented in the date of purchase. The licence is only valid to a unique device (non-transmissible) and any map update or software upgrade may have costs associated to it.
We will soon have available a free V11 upgrade (software only), which will be available through Android Market. When it is available, you will be notified on your device.
Cumprimentos / Best Regards
NDrive Support

To be honest, I think this sucks! I was NOT under the impression that this was the case. In fact, since I'm quite certain I won't be using the same smartphone in a year, this is completely absurd!
What do you others think?!

That is a ridiculous policy and I'm not sure it is legal. When you buy software independent of hardware you should then have the right run it on whatever device you want. You should be allowed to reactivate the software when you get a new phone. I would never buy Ndrive if that is the way they operate.
I've tried Aura, Mobile Maps and Ndrive but the one i prefer is Copilot live, it just seems more stable than the rest.
Good, I'd like to know how to use the Ndrive folder on the SD, since many use maps, maps have 6GB of internal memory to occupy! Does elguem can help me!?
greetings
Directory bind app, somewhere here in the xda will solve your problem.

Not for me thanks! Too many adverse comments posted here and in Play store. In the absence of TomTom it has to be CoPilot Live for Android.
smooooooth
is it smooth?
