Hi everyone,
Well, I finally made the plunge and am loving my HTC Advantage. Truly delightful. I'm slowly making progress but there but I have a few issues that perhaps someone can help me with.
--Note: I am on TMo USA and migrating from a MDA (Wizard), just couldn't find any love for the "Wing".
--Also note that I have thoroughly read this forum and tried everything I can find. Also lots of googling.
1. I am running MrVRealVGA as widely recommended. This is great, and I've got lots of things working. EXCEPT:
a. I've tried the suggested skins for the dialpad, but none are at all functional with RealVGA. Any suggestions?
b. Likewise, hard to find a good Wisbar skin. I have one that "mostly" works (SWDeluxe) but the folder icons are way big, as are the icons on the task menu.
c. The Comm Manager is also an issue, but I use PhoneAlarm which can mostly handle these chores. I'm using the SWDeluxe theme which looks pretty good.
2. Buttons. I would really like to add additional assignments to the OK and Start buttons since they are so handy. Neither AEBPlus or DoubleLauncher seem to be able to work with those. Any suggestions?
3. I am having the same problems with GPS as others report. Will try iGuidance tomorrow, see if I can get any love. No luck at all with Google Maps. Will report back...
4. Also no luck with TV Out using the 4-in-1 cable; but I haven't really spent enough time mucking around.
Otherwise, the transition has really been easy. The keyboard is not as bad as some suggest, although backlighting would be a plus. Browsing the internet is great and VueFlo is "interesting." Solid signal reception (GPRS and WiFi) compared to the Wizard, and it seems reasonably responsive, even with VGA. And that huge, bright screen is great!!!
After lurking on this forum for a few weeks, I'm glad to now be a full-fledged member!
OK, I got the answer to question #1a, from another thread. VijayBigPhone does the job! Nice solution from one of my heroes!
Welcome to the boards, I would suggest for number 4 you just need to play around with it a little more.
I just tried mine then and love it, quickly connected it to the LCDTV (VGA input) then settings, TVOUT > On > VGA output > OK > LCDTV in PC Mode > Voila....beyond presentations I didnt think it would be a worthwhile feature, but I might I actually read ebooks now that I can see them in full glory of 5" VGA (which is nice) or 32" LCDTV.

I'm happy to report success with iGuidance. It would not autodetect GPS, but I manually selected Port 5 and it did work. Acquisition is not as quick as I was used to with my external hockey puck. Seems to be a cold boot each time. On the other hand... no time for trying to find where I put my hockey puck the last time, no time for setup, charger, etc., and no messing around with BT connections, so this will definitely work!
Still no luck with Google Maps.

I tried to install iGuidance 3.0.1 on my Advantage yesterday. I tried installing to both the Microdrive and main memory. The program seemed to install normally, but once installed would not run.
What version of iguidance are you using on your Advantage? Where do you have it installed?
TIA (from a Newbie)

I will answer my own question (in case anyone else has the same problem.)
I received an email back from iNav Tech Support saying:
Please make sure you have installed the appropriate map file on a SD card. W/o a working map, iguidance program can't be launched.
Also, there may be the same gprs conflict between iguidance and your new ppc phone. To determine if this is the case, try turning off the gprs/evdo wireless data connection on your new ppc phone first and then launch iguidance again. If it launches fine, then you may turn your gprs/evdo connection back on.

I had already installed iNav maps on my SD card.
I installed the iGuidance program on the SD card. It wouldn't run. So, I set my Advantage to Flight Mode, and tried again. Sure enough, iGuidance started right up. I turned Flight Mode off, and iGuidance ran normally. Now, iguidance will start up without having to shut down the wireless connections.
I still would be interested in feedback from anyone who has upgraded to version 4 of iGuidance. Is the upgrade worth the expense? Have you noted any significant changes in the program?
Re: Iguidance - another option
I have 'Destinator' installed and running with no problems on my X7501. I note that IGuidance may no longer be selling maps for Europe although this may only be in the USA. I used Destinator in the UK on my Dell Axim this summer and in the USA earlier this month on my Advantage.

For those of you using iNav...the shortcut for iNav points to a "starter application" that detects the resolution, chooses the VGA or QVGA version to run, and deletes the other version. This can cause problems if you use RealVGA and later change the system resolution, as the appropriate executable has been deleted. The solution is to use a File Manager and change the attributes to "Read Only" for the VGA and QVGA iNav applications.
Also, if you use 128dpi and iNav...the starter will open the VGA version, but the QVGA menus work better in 128dpi. For this resolution I created a shortcut that directly points to the QVGA version.
HTH.

Open Google Maps...Menu--Options--Track Location Settings. Select Set by Windows if you are using the WinMo External GPS applet. Select Set Manually and set your com port/baud rate (Com 5/9600 for x7501) if you are not allowing WinMo to control the GPS. I have Google Maps installed to Main Memory.
That having all been said, I find that Windows Live just plain works better, and allows me to set the map cache to the SD card.
Enjoy.

I have had no issues with Google Maps other than the location off, but until I discovered Com 5 using the HTC GPS Tool, I couldn't get any of my other applications to use GPS. Having discovered Com 5, GPS is working just fine. Though I would like to figure out how to GPS stamp my photos - I don't have a P10 in my registry for the camera.
Google maps has been working for ages.
You can easily enable the GPS photo by using schaps advanced configuration tool version 2.
If you use michys roms you can install this over Schap advanced config3.
Hope this helps
Since yesterday I have registered my copy of Navigon MN7 from my G900 (WVGA too) to the X1 (no problems, thanks to the service of Navigon).
I changed the files as attached. If you use them, place them in main folder of Navigon on the storage card and the ApplicationSettings to the settings directory.
BUT ATTENTION: This is of a german G900. Therefore it may be possible that you have to change some lines in the files form "Speicherkarte" to "Starge Card". I didn't look at this! After zipping them on the PC just open them first with text editing program and look if there ist "Speicherkarte" written somewhere in the file. Change this to the language of your X1.
My experiance of the X1 with the MN7 ist great, if you accept two bugs, it has now, even an update is announced for the next days...
1. You only can use WVGA in the Portrait Mode. In Landscape Mode it is only VGA. It works, but with a black stripe on the right site. I don't mind because I am using only Portrait Mode.
2. MN7 finds the gps of X1 at once with the automatic search. But as it is with other internal GPS too, it can not hold the connection more than 1-2 minutes. You have first to start a program, that holds the connection (I use GPS-Skinner) and then start MN7 and everything works fine. This is a known Bug Navigon is working at and an update is announced for the beginning of November.
If you accept this, you get a great navigation experiance. The internal gps is faster than every gps I ever had. Even my GNS 5843, which is a great quality product. X1 fixes faster and finds and holds more satelittes!
The speed ist great. My G900 (WVGA too) needed 40+x seconds to start MN7, the X1 about 15 seconds. Everything responses very fast. Calculating a route needs 3-5 seconds. Typing the adress about 1-3 seconds for response. Worlds between earlier versions of MN.
With this great internal GPS it gives a complete new feeling of navigation to me, and I use Navigon since a lot of years
first thx for the files, but this two bugs are crazy, specialy the GPS Bug, I tried IGO and Garmin XT, they both work perfect, without any GPS loss, or Problems with WVGA, so if you drive many in EU also East EU then i would take IGO 2008, they havr the best Maps there, it is very fast, and runs smooth.

i agree that Igo works fine, but if we compare maps like Italy, navigon has more streets in navigon in europe.( Latvia is very bad.) I faced this because one truck driver asked to fix for him latest maps for navigon and I was thinking that igo would be better and got for him igo, but then he started complaining that there are missing blocks of sreets.
In Latvia tomtom works the best. Igo cant find adresses.and has problems with routs
but still my favorit is igo
Your file BinaryConfig.xml seems to be corrupted ??? It cannot be opened.
Hi,
I have installed Navigon 7 to my X1 and I have used the files posted here to see if it works, however when I launch the app I get the splash screen with the spinning logo and then after about 15-20 seconds that diapears and the phone drops back in the last panel I was using i.e Today panel.. but the start bar at the top of the screen has disapeared..?
Any ideas..
I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times but that doesnt help.. and the only way to get the start bar back is to reboot the phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
once you rebooted the X1, it should start without any problems every time you start MN7.
Had the same problem. Since reboot it works flawlessly.
Chris
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply.. Unfortunatly I get the same problem everytime I reboot the phone.. Launch the app get the splash screen and then it drops back to Panel but without the start bar.. Reboot.. start again.. and again.. etc..
Shame really as it looks like a good sat nav and would like to play with a specially extended trial version before I purchase the app
I've just signed up for the beta of telmap which works fine on the x1 (although they don't give you an option for it,so the stellar or diamond versions work).
You say you have replaced the three files with the WVGA ones? hmmm...
Maybe it is because of the trail version? well, doesn't really make sense...
One more option to get it running is, maybe, to do the thing in landscape mode?
First turn your screen and then start MN app. Well, you never know...
Chris
After completely removing the app and the navigon directory from the phone and then doing a registry clean and a general tidy up of the storage on the phone I re-copied the Navigon directory with its contents to the phone and then copied the files from the first post in this thread and I can now launch the app without it dropping back to the panel, however now it asks for a serial key.. anyone have a keygen for this app.. as its currenlty asking me to go to the navigon site with the device id and register for a serial..
hello,
i have the following problem.
i coppied all file on the card, then installed the prog.
i can start it from the file manager, but if i want to try it from start... and press the icon, nothing happens...
does anyone have an idea, what this could be?
(if my english is not that perfekt, i am from germany and i am trying,hehe)

Navigon MobileNavigator 7.3.1 Xperia Fix
Hello Guys,
i had just installed the Navigon 7.3.1 with the patch in the attachment that the only one which works
copy the "ApplicationSettings.XML" in the folder: "settings" and the two files : "BinaryConfig a. CacheConfig" in the Folder "Navigon"
And if you want to start the program in the landscape mod you have to install the "MN7LS.ARM.CAB"
View attachment 7.3.1.zip
View attachment MN7LS.ARM.CAB
MN7 working now
Many thanks to rookie333 I was finally able to get the test version of MN7 running
Its such a simple solution. Shame on Navigon Support for not being able to help at all and for their product being so poor designed to not include 800x480 resultions.
Normally I use it in the portrait mode. But one of the many flaws in Navigon software is that reality view only works in landscape mode.
But when I switch to landscape mode the screen gets broken. Any idea why?
In comparison to Tomtom the MN7 is not ready for 800x480 devices.
The whole display is stretched in length and squashed in width.
Everything on the map is so tiny you cannot read it, so symbols and text are unusable. The great lane-assistant from version 6 is now a tiny icon on the side.
All together MN7 on X1 is a big disappointment. Hopefully Navigon comes up with some patches soon.
But as I know Navigon development and support for years now, that will not happen soon.
So I will stick with my MN6 on PDA or change to Tomtom.
Tomtom on the other hand looks like it was build for the X1. It completely fits the screen, without stretching or squashing. Icons and text are great.
Regards
pt
You have to start Navigon in landscape mode, but you cannot switch while the program is running. I don't think it's squashed or stretched. The interface is VGA, but with X1's high dpi, it looks good. The map is just perfect with the attached XML files. The xml files are from the Touch HD forum, but with modified BinaryConfig.xml.
Landscape Mode
My Xperia will not start Navigon in Landscape mode. It sort of freezes up the Xperia which then needs restarting. Is the CAB language specific?
In Portrait mode it is useless (see edit below) as the useful part of the view (betweern the Arrow and the horizon) is just a tiny slit shown in my attached photo. Compare that of the official picture where the position arrow is much lower down and the horizon is near the top of the screen as it should be.
On the Xperia, one third of the screen is taken up by sky!
Also the Position Arrow with its circle cover up important parts of road junctions making it hard to see where to drive.
Edit: OK Now I've installed it all again, and copied the XML files again and now it is much better. The sky only take up a small amount of the screen and the arrow is lower down. What is going on? Is it dependent on the XML files?
Does anybody know how to turn on TMC on Mobile Navigator 7. I didn't setup it during first install but i discovered i can do it ....
I don't know how to setup again
Finaly i have something else than wayfinder. Thanks Rookie333 for excellent instruction.
I successfully used your configuration on my Xperia R1A. Navigon now launches in WVGA portrait (but I am unable to run it in landscape mode, even with the cab given in this thread, it fails with a message "unable to find mobilenavigator7.exe", quite strange).
But my real problem is : each time I start navigon, there is no GPS defined. So I have to configure it, using assistant. It finds the internal GPS, and it works for a short time.
Then during navigation it stops working. If I check the GPS status, there is no GPS device detected again. I have to detect the GPS again, etc ... and it works for several minutes, then fail again ...
Any idea why Navigon is loosing connection to the GPS so often ?
HI
Can i know where is the installation file
Hi
Having tried TomTom 7, Copilot and the "try before buy" Navigon; I found all to be wanting in some way. I have not tried: Garmin XT is fixed to a SD card - I don't want to swop cards; IGO 8 looks good but seems to require lots of fixes.
Is there a GPS application (not google or similar online app) that just works from the box or cab ?
I like the google app but I don't like the high data rates which could get expensive when I'm roaming.
I just want a GPS app that has its own maps on my SD card (16 gbyte card so loads of space available). Does this really exist ?
When I check the official GPS provider sites (e.g., TomTom and Copilot) then they say their product is not compatible with the HTC HD - I guess that explains all the various hoops people have to jump through to get an app working.
I suspect I have to wait until spring next year for the app companies to provide a working HD compatible version ? Or, does anyone know better ??
Thanks & holiday greetings to all, Dave.
You can't compare Google Maps with a navigation solution like TomTom, IGo or Navigon. Google Maps is just showing the area around your current position, whereas the other programs can navigate you through the country.
As far as I know TomTom works just without any work, all others need to be configurated. How to do that is mentioned in the various threads here, so it shouldn't be a problem at all.

Come again? I've been using Google Maps for over a year to navigate me around Brisbane. (No that's not the country but I'm sure it's capable of that.)
Well I can use google to navigate as it has a "show directions" option. I know it is not as sophisticated as the other GPS apps.
My problem with google is it needs a data link which gets expensive when I'm out of my home country (hence need often a GPS) because I have to make a gprs link to have google working.
TomTom does not work on the HD - Version 6 fails to work. Version 7 works fine but there seems to be no way to legally load maps except the single trial map of one city.
Thanks anyway for answering.

Here is a new app - anyone use this successfully on the HD ?

Does CoPilot work on the HD?
I've got Version 6 currently on my XDA Orbit & was thinking of upgrading
Garmin Mobile XT works great on my HD
Cheesy Dave / Gulioth - I have used CoPliot v7 from day 1 on my Touch HD without any problems. Transferring it from my Touch Cruise took 5 minutes over the air, deactivating and reactivating (something you cannot do with TTN6).
It looks really good on the HD screen and is very easy to navigate through the menus (no pun intended). I am currently using v7.7.0.134 and ALK are bringing an even friendlier version out for the Touch HD shortly. I have used this, TTN6, TTN7 and Telmap Navigator in the recent past and various others going back to routeplanner on a Psion series 5.
Whichever gps software you use, it will always be "short" in some way or other. As far as the HTC Touch is concerned, CoPliot is by far the easeist overall to install, register and use with a touch screen & the maps are fairly up to date. I can also import my own POIs and safety cameras from TTN.
I also gave Garmin XT a try.
One problem though, up until now, i am feeling that there is Lag or the cpu is not following up too fast to show changes, so if i am making a turn in a roundabout, you can see a strange thing happen on the screen.

Thanks davast. I actually got a copy of CoPilot which was sold to me as CoPilot7 for windows mobile. It turned out to be the specific version for the HTC Diamond.
I think I will wait for the new version and double check this time that the supplier knows what they are doing.
Regards, D.
What's latest CoPilot version? Is it v7? Does anyone know if the next one is imminent?
I own v6 for my XDA Orbit 1 and will probably upgrade rather than purchase new version as think it works out cheaper.
Upgrade = £48.93
Dealer = £59.95
I'm going to try a new one when I get a minute, beta atm but works on my hacked Hermes to wm6.1 and is nice

Hi Gulioth, I received version 7 "for the HTC Diamond" which will only load to the internal storage of the Diamond - hence, I returned it as this would not work on the HD.
I don't know the specific current version other than "7". If you have CoPilot Central then you should be able to find it. Unfortunately with the Diamond version there also is no copy of the CoPilot Central.
I have returned the Diamond version and I'm sitting waiting for someone (PLEASE !!) to make a legally correct version work.
If you check here: http://www.alk.eu.com/copilot/compatibility.asp you can see that ALK says the HD is not yet compatible.
I've been using OCN8 (on course navigation) on my HD for a month. It's beautiful and has TTS for enhanced street naming in turn-by-turn directilns. The only problem, out of the box, is it only runs in portrait mode, but it does it beautifully in all the HD high res glory.
There's a thread in the Blackstone section with workarounds for running landscape.
Thanks - that's a new one to me - I will investigate "on course navigation"
Ciao, Dave

Hmmm - this seems to be only USA & Canada according to their site:
Map Coverage USA and Canada.
The latest maps and up-to-date points of interest for United States. Full road coverage with over 10 443 000 kilometers of updated roads, and over 12.3 millions points of interest. Includes maps of Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico.
http://www.oncoursenavigator.com/ocn8_intro.aspx
I did not specify in my original question that I'm based in Europe.
I'm looking for a legally correct GPS application that works "out-of-the box" or direct from the cab without having to tweak xml files or anything else and which is recognised by the software provider as compatible and acceptable. TomTom and CoPilot do not yet list the HD as a compatible device. I also don't want a software that is linked to one micro SD card (like Garmin XT).
I believe that CoPilot will be the right choice when it is HD compatible. I like also TomTom but it seems so difficult to make it work - there are many threads here about the tricks needed to make maps work. I do have TomTom running but only with the sample map. Trying to get TomTom home to accept the HD and legally download new Maps does not seem legally correct now - maybe next year ...

Hi, did a search and nothing came up.
But just wondering where can i get the TOMTOM navigation software that works with the TP2 please??
also are there any sites specially for TP2/windows mobile apps??
thanks
AFAIK the Tomtom software is free, you only pay for the maps, but I could be wrong. I'm using 7.915.9196 which is VGA and works fine
I don't think there is any TP2 specific software on the market but there is loads of WM6 stuff
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php is a place to start and handango

same here, no problems at all. already tookm a trip, relied on it, and trip went perfect
TomTom is shipped with some devices. But it's not freeware!
Beware you don't start talking warez here
TomTom just made TomTom 7 available on their website for PocketPC's.
TomTom works just fine on the Rhodium probably.
no GPS LAG?
TOM TOM software is not free. and will not currently work with TP2. well the home software dont work. So i cant get the map i purchased. And they wont refund as i was not using a licensed version of software so definitely not free and not officially working

tom tom navigator works purfect on the TP2, have it on mine
Hi
I Have tomtom 7.450 installed on my tp2 and its working well for me.
yes but are they legal versions and work with the TOMTOm home
I had version 7.910.9185 which didn't install.
I have now installed 7.915.9196 but it is asking to activate the map and wants an activation code.
So I went to ttcode.com to get one and it needs the product code. I can't find the product code anywhere, tomtom.com myorders doesn't mention one and tomtom home just shows the map version.
As far as I can make out from tomtom's help version ttn7 onwards don't use product codes.
So how do I get the activation code?
Contact TomTom about that
tomtom again
Hey guys,
iam new here and from germany.
Last week i got my new TP2 (branded by T-Mobile, now called "MDA Vario V")
i tried to install following versions:
Mod Edit: NO MENTION OF WAREZ PERMITTED
so,
if i install the programm on my "phone-storage" i got the warning "BTTrayCE is not a valiued application..."
if i install it on my sd-card i got NO warnings.
but in every versions i got the problem that the software do not find my extractet maps. I searched for a long time and tried different folders, and now its 11:00PM and i dont have any nerves left
i hope somebody can help me and gimme a detailed instructure how to get my tomtom running.
so far,
mypTx
TomTom questions always walk a thin line with regards to legality. No discussion of maps will be permitted.
Opps sorry never mind
There should be a ttnavigator.bif file on the root of the storage card which you can open up in notepad and find the code in there...I think.
if you have live services like traffic and speed cameras then 7.915 is useless as you cannot enable traffic (bug). There is also a definate lag on the GPS side of things compared to my TYTNII. Tomtom at present do not officially support the TP2, although when i phoned them they were more than happy to assist. TTHome is not worth bothering with till they release a version that is compatible with it. I kept on getting errors about device id not matching even though you select to change it and TomTom had reset my account. Gave up in the end and have copied speed cameras manually and traffic is now working.
Managed to get Tomtom 6 working!
Hi,
Having just bought a Touch Pro 2 sim free - loving the device and just about got it set up the way I like it.
You can indeed install Tomtom 6 on it, but BEFORE you do I highly recommend you install a utility called WVGAFIX3. What it does is allow you to change the resolution on your TP2.
Change it to VGA (640x480), then install and run TomTom. It's a bit of a pain toggling between resolutions at the moment, but once a WVGA version of tomtom is released then problem solved.
Got the radio working thanks to the CAB on here, and the 1% batt driver!

You can indeed install Tomtom 6 on it, but BEFORE you do I highly recommend you install a utility called WVGAFIX3. What it does is allow you to change the resolution on your TP2.
Change it to VGA (640x480), then install and run TomTom. It's a bit of a pain toggling between resolutions at the moment, but once a WVGA version of tomtom is released then problem solved.
Got the radio working thanks to the CAB on here, and the 1% batt driver!

Why TT6? TT7.915.916 runs great on my Rhodium. No hassle with resolutions or anything.
Hi,
I tried to install TT Nav. 7 on my TP2, but it doesn't seem to work. I get a message dat TT7 is not compatible with my device. How did you guys got it to work?
Dear all,
It is posible to route Tomtom sounds to bluetooth headset or radio cd bt enabled as handsfree (as a phone call, only hear Tomtom when needed and till then carry on listening music)?
Thanks.
Hi
I just install the igo navigation on my desire, the program seens to work fine but i have the following problem i can get the aplication running on full screen , how i can do that? i can't find any settings on the program for change the resolution.
Regards
Quite simple you can't!
The resolution of the Desire (and the N1, and the droid, etc) isn't supported yet.
I tryed navigon and it works great. you should give it a try.
thx for you fast reply , dit you know when will be suported?
You can try this: download from HERE motonav and install it then rename the igo folder on the sd card to motonav and there you go. full screen igo amigo with a diferent skin.
Wondering if this really works.....
Had motonav installed on my Desire, but because the resolution of the Milestone is different from the Desire, you're missing a few bottom pixels/buttons.
I've already send iGo an e-mail but until now I never received an answer.
I've tried all the different best known navigation software available on Android (Navigon, Motonav, Sygic and now CoPilot) but all have there strength and weaknesses. I really don't have a favorit.
On WM my favorite was iGo or Navigon. Actually I thought I preferred Navigon but it didn't run smooth enough on my Xperia so I sticked with iGo.
But it looks like they somehow leave features out of the navigation on Android.
On android navigon looks great, but it gives an error when navigating to a different country then the one you live in (if someone has an solution please let me know), and I'm missing some information on the screen like how much time and distance left till you reach the destination.
CoPilot looks more for children... Big colorfull icons which sometimes interfere with the interface (eg the speedlimit indicator).
Motonav works great, but couldn't get the speedcameras to work, and it also looks a bit depressive with the purple/brown/grey colors. Also important information was missing, you had to press on the screen first to see that information. Not really safe doing this when you're driving your car.
Sygic sometimes calculates really strange routes. And the newest version 10 didn't work smooth on my desire. During driving it wasn't smooth at all. Even though I had turned of all the online services.... Maybe I had the wrong version. Don't really know.
After all I now stick with CoPilot because it has the most options I want, runs smooth, but for me it far from ideal.
The smoothest runs Navigon.
The best would be a combination between Navigon and iGo/Motonav...
But to come back on topic, if you've tried the solution of R3dD3vil please let me know
Owww I see the version of R3dD3vil is a special 480x800 version..... Hmm that's solves a bit of the problems
@Bart1981,
Do you have the 30 day trial avigo? Because one of the limits is navigation in 1 country only.
Let's say it this way, I had a modified version of the Navigon trial
But that would explain the thing
btw the file posted bij R3dD3vil works. But it's not flawless....
Sometimes some text and numbers are interfering with eachother. And the menueffect are not that fluently as they are in the original motonav file. But it works
I saw this was version 2, so properbly there will come some other finetuned versions....
any news on igo / motonav version that would work flawlessly?
Regards,s
yes, the motonav link from top is working 100%. i have it on my desire, and works flawless! i'm in argentina, and without it i think i have to drive off roads, in the air!!! this is the link
are speedcams working with MotoNav?
Yes , working fine here.
yep, for me too.
have you put them into content/speedcam?
yep,overthere
works great here
wow, that simple!!! Just took my maps,POI etc from another nav I have for my WM phone and it works!

iGO on Desire
Hi, I need some help. I installed iGO with skin from MotoNav. but I have a problem with speedcam , not to show my nothing. What files should exist in sdcard/motonav/content/speedcam ? I'm interested in the following countries Norway, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania. I have these files in the folder speedcam:
speedcam.spdb,
SpeedcamUpdates.spud
SpeedCam_EU__14-03-2010_
Is there any application or software that automatically turn on the GPS? I mean I do not have every time before opening the navigation application, first enable the GPS on.

From what I understand you can leave the GPS on at all times. Android actually powers it on only if needed, so it shouldn't be on whe you are not using the navigation software. You can check this easily since the GPS icon at the top only shows when you open the navigation software.

Can you put at least a picture from your device when showing you at least a speed camera? And I mean not the speed limit signs on the device.
