Route 66

For anyone interested in different satnav options, I can confirm the new Route 66 mobile 8 works really well on the X1. Works great with the wvga res and the UK maps are Q3 2008 which is (I think) more up to date than Tomtom or Copilot 7.

is navigation smoother than tomtom's or iGO's navigation?

Find it pretty smooth. Ive only been using it a few days so havent much experience with routing yet but seems ok. It zooms in when approaching junctions as I believe tomtom does and no gps lag at all that I can detect. I havent tried igo 8. I fancied the 3D mapping but I think I read somewhere it doesnt support full uk postcodes. maybe someone can correct me if thats wrong.

Cool,
I'm thinking of buying it .. But don't now for shure..
I'm using igo8 at the moment, but i miss the speedcam and the traffic info!
Only thing that igo does have is a much better interface, wich is very usefull when driving..
For the dutchies:
Today you can buy it for 40 euro (EU version)

Over time I have used them all.
I've been using iGo8 for some time now. In my opinion the best out there....hands down.3D rendering is excellent.
I recently used it in pedestrian mode to see the sites around Paris...fantastic and accurate.
Plenty of skins to choose from. Dimka Tomsoft is perfect for the Xperia. http://www.tomsoftware.net/default.aspx?pg=bfe66309-2007-4a7b-871d-4dee68e631c1

We have been using TomTom for years, but changed to Route 66 based on the fact that TomTom does not anymore supports only the software. Route 66 does a good job..

Has anyone experiences with the navigon mobile software?

wauw, that are some nice screenshots, how did you get that theme?
And, it's nice to hear that tmc works with that workaround, gonna try it tomorrow!

GPS Dashboard: True free Navigational GPS app.

Honestly speaking i was fed up of GPS apps and maps...there wasnt a single free app which could just use my GPS chip and tell me without maps my heading, my altitude, my speed and my coordinates..
and which wud work purely on GPS chip..no data usage no need of downloaded maps..
i dont need maps all the time..i mean there has to be a way to use GPS without having maps.
so here it is:

found this cool app which is free for Xperia:
http://www.handango.com/catalog/Pro...25&platformId=30&productId=248650&sectionId=0
u need to login to download but its free.
a very simple app which uses your GPS chip.
very useful when u r out there somewhere in the world.
it also gives u the sky view of how many satellites are there above u.

i guess all of u must be already knowing this
but i love its simplicity

I had no idea of it. Will try that! Does it use ONLY gps chip, no data transfer?

Nice !
Check also a nice free gps software list here.
My preferred is actually richesseGPS.

Best worldwide navigation

Hi all,
I have just bought myself the TP2 and I am pretty happy with it after coming from a Nokia E71. The display on this thing is superb.
Anyway, the one thing I am missing that I really liked with the Nokia was OVI maps. I do have Google maps on the TP2 but it does not allow you to download any maps to the phone and always requires a network connection to work. Sometimes when I am travelling overseas I don't always have a good signal so I want something with the maps built in. I work in the Far East so looking for maps for Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia in particular.
Any recommendations if any? I have seen Mapking but looking at the website I don't think this yet supports the WVGA resolution. I recall the original had poor fonts on VGA displays but this has been updated butnot sure if it will work with WVGA. I am going to download the trial and find out.
Cheers
Dave...

iGO 8 has maps for the Asian countries.

Garmin works great on the Tilt2. Lots of maps for the area you're looking at, some of them free. http://www.malsingmaps.com/portal/
After you install, make sure you use "GPS INtermediate Driver" and not "Comm 4"
Tap the signal meter, then disable. Select "GPS Intermediate Driver" then enable.
I applied the GPS tweaks in this thread, made a HUGE difference:

in case you are wondering: how MapKing 2007 looks on a TP2

igo8

Hello. Any solution for igo8 for desire? thanks

Try MOTONAV. It uses same Igo maps.

For some reason Motonav wouldn't let me enter house number on some streets when latest TeleAtlas map is used. When I try the same street on iGO (with wrong resolution of course) I can enter house number. Any ideas?

Happens to me too. Change the map to some other one...
For now, as far as I know, the ONLY good gps navigation for our Desire is MOTONAV...
Good luck.

Only? Whats wrong with Sygic,I think its ok. Like igo8 too on my wm
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I don't agree. I'm using Navigon with no problems.

I would but Teleatlas maps have best coverage and least mistakes compared to Navteq and Regio (local map maker). At least here.
Before I thought Motonav is equal to iGO (Android version). Too bad it's not true. I hope Nav'n'Go will sort this out soon.
P.S. Is there a working map changer for Motonav? Now I just manually rename map files to switch between them.

Some innovation?

I have iGOMyWay_8.4.2.124036 ( not Motonav ) installed on my Desire and working fine. It's not like iGO 8 but better than Motonav.

you have it working on full screen...?

there are iGOMyWay_8.4.2.139242 for the desire out there, mine is full screen and working perfectly, including the speedcam POI's.

Warez is forbidden on xda forums. Go to the official site and buy iGo.

Sorry for mistake because I don't use it any more, but it's iGOMyWay_8.4.2.139242 and not 8.4.2.124036
and I had to install it again .
In my opinion, the iGOMyWay is not near as good as iGO8 which I have on Win.Mobile, so I use CoPilot on Desire.
Here are some photos .

I have installed igo8 on the desire and it looks ok but I can't use it because the program doesn't respond right to the touch. I touch at one place and it either doesn't respond or something else (a lot higher on the screen) is chosen instead.
anybody knows how to fix this?
thanks

It has worked on my phone without problems with maps, pois and the whole package. Full screen.

Thanks for the reply but I know it works for most ppl. I'm asking if anyone encountered my problem and know how to fix it.

there are different versions of igo8. if you download for a smaller or bigger resolution u cant use it. download igo8 480x800

thanks.
i installed that version. i tried for fun all the others but they were even worse because not only they didn't respond well but they werent full screen.
i know only of one more guy with desire that has the same problem.

GPS Issue - drop outs, innaccurate location, bounces around

Hello
Attached is the kind of signal I get when I go for a run with my Xiaomi9t (MIUI 11 Global Version) and MiBand 3.

I went for run with my old Galaxy 7 and MiBand 3 and the signal was perfect.
The screenshot is from MiFit App but it's the same on MapMyRun as well. Weirdly enough GPS navigation in Google Maps works way better, I have no problem using it.
A lot of guides online suggest changing app specific settings, but I don't think that's it, I think it's to do with the device itself!
Any ideas?

What type of accuracy do you use?
Which app?
I use GPS everyday and never had an issue

I used "High Accuracy" and "Device only" (was recommended as a possible solution) but the result was the same.
The screenshot is from MiFit app, however, it looks the same in MapMyRun.
I can use GPS navigation in Google maps, but it behaves as I described when I'm trying to use it for tracking runs/walks etc.

I have same issue after update
MI 9T GLOBAL 11.0.4
GPS keeps jumping 10-100 meters every 5 seconds
My google timeline also have much more jumps cuts compared to before.
Pokemon go is unplayable

Hi,
I have the same problem. Using a speed camera app and the app says every 20sec no GPS signal.
Battery saving options are disabled, GPS high accuracy.

Hello guys, new here.
Im experiencing same issues, it was really bad, so i reseted my device. It is a bit better now, but the accuracy is still not well, in komoot or strava, my tracking lines are not straight, as i would be hardly drunk and move zig-zag around. I have disabled miui power saving options for all the maps apps, still it's not perfect and my device, tend to lose GPS signal frequently. any news on that or recommendations how to fix this?
