Hello,
As everyone I have a GPS lag with my IGO 8.3 navigation software.
In the naviagiton properties you say "keep position on the way" you planned.
So is there is a fault in the GPS signal it keeps the arrow on the way
Is it possible with a registry key to, not oly keep the arrow on the way, but also put him 20 or 30 meters in front, so you reduce the GPS lag.
Thank you in advance.
have you encountered lag during Simulation or only in navigation ?
if you use a PDA you need find the settings about screen !
i lose the exact setting but when you check ON, a option like Screen always on or other like this after Lag appear...
i don't know if it s help you !
naviation
Hi
Only during naviagation.
But I am looking for a tric that pointers the arrow always 20 meters ahead. In combination with the option "keep position on the way".
ther must be a way to manipulate the GPs coordinates that are send to the navigation software.

Can't find any reference to this issue, so I'm hoping someone might be able to assist.
I installed a legal copy of Tomtom 5.21 on the 8525 and it works great, except for the fact that the screen doesn't stay on or locks when there's no device activity for more then 5 minutes. I have the device being used on battery and the power settings will only allow me to extend the backlight to 5 minutes. Since I use the Tomtom rather infrequently, I don't want to disable the backlight setting. Also the device is set to lock after 15 minutes, which I know is short, but trying to adhere to corporate standards on this setting. Shouldn't the Tomtom software handle the function to control overriding the device lock threshold? I know it should, because when I used the software on a Treo 650, the screen lock function was defeated while Tomtom was running. Am I missing something (a setting or reg key) that would give me the same functionality on the 8525? It is quite annoying to have to either unlock the device after it locks while driving, or risk the possibility of forgetting to re-enable the setting if I manually disable it.
Any advise is much appreciated.
TIA.
Try this:
Settings -> System Tab -> Power -> Advanced tab
uncheck the "Turn off device if not used for" box.
Start TeleNav, go to preferences. Make sure that backlight is set to always on. I have never had any problems with this. Hope it works
Thanks....both very good suggestions, but my main issue is the security kicking in, and the device locking after X minutes. As I stated previously, shouldn't Tomtom defeat the device lock while the software is active? Is there a way to defeat with an alternative method, such a a batch file that would disable the device lock, run Tomtom, then when Tomtom exits, re-enable the security of locking the device?
Any further input would be greatly appreciated.
TIA.
Hello,
I'd like to use my HD with Tomtom on my motorbike (HD in the pocket, navigation instructions over to my Sony bluetooth headset).
Trouble is, of course, that in my pocket, the screen is pressed and Tomtom exits.
Is there a way to launch Tomtom and then lock the screen before putting it in my pocket ?
Thanks !
same problem here.

I'm using Navigon on my HD and after locking the screen (press and hold the end key), the Navigon just continues to give driving instructions. Wouldn't that work with TomTom?
locking
Problem I believe is once tomtom looses focus then it stops working. Need to lock it while staying focused on the tomtom screen.
Also if the tomtom looses focus then the phone goes to sleep after period X

It doesn't : Tomtom keeps working in the background but no instructions coming through =(
There are two ways to lock the device while continue to run TomTom (with the instructions):
1) Press Today button, then lock the device in normal way;
2) Install Gyrator2. With the default settings it will lock your device when inseting stylos back to device.
First solution doesn't work for me : the instructions remain when i press the today button but are cut as soon as i lock the device with a long press on the bottom right button or with the on/off button at the top of the device
Will give a try to gyrator
works perfectly with gyrator2 !
Thanks a lot
Gyrator
Only problem is with gyrator is the device goes to sleep after a little while. I think it is because the unlock function is in the foreground. Tomtom is still active but sleeps after a little while.
Would be good is gyrator then made tomtom the foreground app again once locked.
Just go to the power options and untick the boxes !
Hi all,
When I use my GPS software (Sygic Drive) my pda turns off the backlight of the screen even if the software is designed to avoid it...
Is there any way to solve this? I can disable the backlight countdown option in the settings menu, but if there is another way it could make me very happy
Thanks in advance!

If your gps software can't take over Windows Settings, the only way is like you said. Turning off the option in Power Save. I don't have that problem with iGO8 when on a route. if used as Map only, showing my location, it goes off. I haven't tested Live Search or Pharos with this last build(21202). Unless one of the Registry Guru's might have a registry edit to solve your problem. Good Luck, I know your frustration. I had it with iGO8 till I found the setting to keep light on.
Hi,
When i had my prophet before i could run GPS Tuner (or other GPS Softwares) and turn off the screen (button on top i mean) without having any difficulties. Now with the Iolite i have the problem, that when i turn off the screen the GPS gets turned off as well (as if the thing goes into standby)..
Is there any way just to make it run the software and the GPS no matter if the screen is on or off?
Just go to task manager and add it as exclusive. However it trade off with high battery consumption rate
Or you can use attached registry change. However, I am not sure if it is working as I didn't checked it yet. Maybe you can try it and inform us, if it is working.

there are 2 ways which might be helpful to your problem, but i am not quite sure.
1. some nav software will provide such options that will keep screen on or turn on screen whenever instruction is comeing.
2. before you start to use nav software, go /start menu/setup/system/background light/, uncheck device off and check screen off after xx minutes.
just try, good luck!

What exactly does this file do? Does it keep the GPS running even if your phone is on StandBy (screen and buttons turned off)?
I'm in search of the same solution. I want to keep my GPS program running, but I want to turn the screen and buttons of, when I put it in my pocket.
Or is there a separate program which can simulate a standby?
Ok tried to find out if this was common, saw a thread or two discussing possible toggle design change (to the location design) but as far as I can see that just switches on the location service which I really dont want. Even tapping disagree at the location notice there is no gps symbol in the bar at the top of the screen as before... cannot find the toggle in the swipe down bit either... how do we turn gps on and off as before or is that just not possible anymore...
ok if there is no way to turn gps on without using location now that the turn on gps button is gone, does anyone know of a way to make a button that turns on gps or is anyone trying to make one or indeed has made one... tia...

The icon of GPS changed in android 4.4.2 for LOCATION button.
COUNCIL: You can try to root ur device, install Xposed Framework and add the module: [KK] GPSNotification - Bring back the GPS Icon.

I have found that ok but it then switches on location which I dont want... if I select no to the share location blurb that pops up is gps still switched on?? my phone is rooted and thanks will looking into the xposed framework and do as you suggest...
Would like to know the answer to this issue, also if anyone knows how to change from high accuracy mode to use GPS only. I understand you can change modes by selecting it, however when I restart it defaults back to high accuracy mode.
