Hi Folks
Well, I'm looking at taking the GPS route soon, but I've a few queries about SatNav software.
I'm UK based and will be looking for some software to go on my M3100.
I don't like TomTom. I have tried it in the past and it is not to my liking. Sorry.
I've tried Navigon Mobile Navigator but I don't know if that is compatible with WM5 and I've got Memory Map to try soon enough. However, I'm also interested in what other people have got to suggest?
Thanks all in advance
Wayfinder is my favourite

Wayfinder's demos look pretty nice. Any idea how it compares to Telenav?
http://www.telenav.com
for uk based you try copilot, or navman, destinator, infomap pocket navigator dont bother with aa it runs way to slowly, the same goes for igo it will run fine but you need a tf card which i dont thnk its available on have a look at tomtom again things have changed since v2 and 3 not all for the better have a look at new go the app is the same
what about i-go?

I like igo for it's coverage of some eastern european countries (like Croatia) which I visit, but the others don't cover. I prefer tomtom for interface and features.
Best of all I'd like tomtom with full country coverage.
As it is, I use igo and forgo the speed camera notification.
Navigon works on WM5
Hi,
I am using my copy of Navigon V5.0 on both a T Mobile MDA Vario II (Hermes) and o2 XDA Exec, both running WM5. Works fine and looks lovely in VGa on exec.
Good luck

Thanks Richard There is an upgrade I can, er, download too that I think I'll give it a go.
Just need a bigger than 128mb microSD now But Yaay! This is good!!!
Thanks All
Hi all,
I've looked through the first 7 pages of this forum and can't see this question asked or answered anywhere.
I have my shiny new O2 XDA Ignito sitting in front of me and it is crying out for some sat nav software.
I have looked at TomTom navigator but from reading some of the posts on this site it appears TomTom 7 is the vogue. What are the differences between the two?
Is Garmin's mobile sat nav any good?
If I go for TomTom where is the best (sorry cheapest) place to buy it from on DVD?
Cheers.
Matt.
Garmin
Garmin Mobile XT is fantastic. I have it on my Tilt and it's as good if not better than the GPS in my car. It does turn by turn verbally which is a must. It even works in my pocket. You can have 3d maps or regular. It has traffic and automatic re-routing. It comes on a micro sd card and once you plug in the card it asks if you want to install. That's all there is to it.
The maps are great and detailed. The options are many. I love my Garmin and can't figure out why people aren't jumping on it. It's a one time cost rather than every month. Garmin is a great company to deal with and will be around when many of the others are gone.

Does it come on CD/DVD though as the XDA Ignito (HTC Diamond) doesn't have a card slot?
Matt
My dad got a seperate GPS unit with the Garmin CD and it can install and show the map just fine, but cant use the internal GPS so that's totally useless. Of course that GPS brick should be optional if your phone includes a GPS (I mean you pay for it regardless).
Had to aquire that online special version just to get the thing working
use TomTom Navigator 7 - specificly developed for the VGA HTC Touch Diamond. Works perfect for me.
TomTom, it's perfect!
i use igo8.
found it to be better than tomtom.

Rang Garmin and after 20 minutes they answered. They conformed you can buy their software on DVD but you have to buy the GPS receiver as well... something to do with unlocking the maps using a receiver code or something!
So as a result it looks like TomTom is the way forward for me.
When I go to the TT website it makes no mention of TT 7 and yt loads of you guys on here appear to be using it. Where do I get it from and how much is it (I know Navigator 6 is £87)?
Thanks in advance guys.
Matt.
TomTom7 is superb, in terms of obtaining a copy, a mere google search would probably locate it straight away, free or paid for
Would definately go for TT7 as they are what I would call the market leaders (for Europe anyway). I've used both and perhaps gotten used to TT7, but I have been using it for TT5, TT6 and now TT7 and it works with great map support for US, Europe and Australia. Suggest you google or download the cab from numerous folks here (...search!!) and then buy the maps (whatever) accordingly!
i have both tomtom7 and Garmin XT...diference is in refresh...TomTom refreshes position like 0,5 s and Garmin 1-1,5s
But i preffer Garmin ( we have better maps for our country for Garmin )
hey man go nav n go IGO8!!! better than tt7: faster, prettier & full 7digit postcodes in uk fresh speed cameras waypoints etc

Hi all
Had a search around and couldn't find nothing relevant.
Has anyone managed to get tomtom 7.910 to install on the x1. I have read that it is suppose to run on wm6.1 devices but when im trying to install on my x1 it says device not supported.
I had tomtom 7.450 installed and this worked perfect.
Cheers
Works perfectly on my X1! Try to search a bit harder though....

Hey
If u can point me to the right place i will be happy to read but i searched for like an hour. i found the post with the cab in it but couldnt find nothing about my problem.
Works perfectly for me too with 8.15 maps. Although I have to admit that I didn't read a single word anywhere as someone was kind enough to install it for me.
I found that Tomtom 7.9.. is better suited for the Xperia X1.
I tried the 7.4 and because of the higher resolution the letters were too small, but in the version everything is optimized so it seems.
tomtom 7.910
hi,
I have the tomtom 7.910 installed on my x1 but i cannot seem to load the benelux map 8.15, can some asist me with this?

I think that i made a bad purchase.
Because:
- The speaker volume sound is a **** , i can't hear anything..
- TomTom doesn't work in Brazil, i don't have map for this.
- FootPrint doesn't work well because TomTom doesn't work.
- MP3 doesn't have volume control.
- The reset button is inside the cover.
- And before i'll post more...
I made a big **** when i bought this......
Please be carefull when chose to buy this phone.
I asked HTC about my problem with TomTom and a answer was:
Contact TomTom......
I have an ELF with Onix ROM and i have to say, it is much better than Cruise ROM.
I would like that HTC could read this post!!
Tomtom works great on mine. I'm using Tomtom 7 (yes it is compatible).

Sorry my friend but you didn't understand me....
Please don't be precipitate..
Your version of TomTom works with NaviPanel?
Are you in Brazil?
Please "read" before post.
The version installed in the Cruise is TomTom 7 too. I installed other version (7) of TomTom and works fine , but not with NaviPanel.
I have installed IGO8 and this work fine too.
But the size of the file "TomTom Navigator.exe" is diferent that is in the ROM ...
The problem is the NaviPanel!
And about the sound volume ? Is fine for you too????????
If all my problems are so my the rest of the buyers of Cruise are delighted!!!!!
Please read my post carefull.

Are you blind? Can't you read what maps are included in the TomTom release before buying the device?

Thank you Lanceiro I can read I read you well when you say "Tomtom doesn't work".
So yes it works, and secondly it works great with footprint (you select a picture and tomtom will automatically select the destination). I'm not saying there is not an issue with your device but there is certainly an existing solution to your problem.
As for the sound, the external speakers are not good, true, but just as correct as any other HTC device I've tested. Still agree with you the speakers are crap but good enough for navigation.
Answers to your questions!
I really like the device! Nice design, lightweight, nice features! So I'll try to make you like it more by helping you to find the answers to your questions:
- The speaker volume sound is a **** , i can't hear anything > maybe this will help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436552&highlight=speaker+volume

- TomTom doesn't work in Brazil, i don't have map for this.
- FootPrint doesn't work well because TomTom doesn't work.
Try Igo 8, it has Brazil maps > forget about navi-screen or footprint
- MP3 doesn't have volume control.
Use speaker volume buttons...
- The reset button is inside the cover.
Nice freeware, working perfectly!!! Install the wm2003 version!

I use glasses but i'm not blind.
TomTom have many maps , i think for many countries around the world, but in Iolite only for a few.
Why???
Do you know why????
I don't.
By the way, do you work for HTC or TomTom????
To Koalaii:
I'm happy that works for you , but you aren't in Brazil.

No, I don't work for any of these companies.
But thats your fault not the HTC's that you didn't read the description and what is included in the iolite's packed. That would be the same as if I would by a car and then I would blame the manufacturer that this car doesn't has an air conditioning system built in, most of the cars has this system, or not?
By the way, I think you can buy Brazil map from TomTom, have a look:

I'm desperate. Using Coredroid 1.6 NAND and cant find even one Navigation-software which is working properly.
My tries:
Sygic Aura: Woking good, but closes itself suddenly and without proper reason.
Navigon 2.6.1: Works great for a few minutes, but suddenly Android makes a hot restart (swaps to android bootscreen) and I find navigon in the main menu. not very comfortable if you are driving in a car and need to set up the destination every 5 minutes
Igo: Works, but the voice is stuttering. Its like .. "Turn...[break]..left in 100 [break] meters. Changing the voice had no effect.
Tried to wipe everything with clockwork and reinstalled again freshly: same problems.
Did any of you guys and girls experience the same problems and have any clue on how to fix on of that issues? I need at least one fully working gps-offline-solution and the 3 above are my favourites. I dont know if its a build- or kernel problem or anything.. the gps fixes fast with each of the softwares.
I tried to search, but people are issuing other gps problems like gps is working incorrectly or does not even fix, but thats not the problem I experience.
So please, share your experiences and oppinions or show me topics that could help.

Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
CoPilot Definitely! Great app and navigation is spot on!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alk.copilot.marketplace.eu.full&feature=search_result
MOD EDIT: Just making sure noone is tempted to follow up on the statement you posted
I have tried alot of Navigation apps for Android on the HD2 and IMHO Copilot is the best visually and has never had any problems. Sygic looks really nice (similar to TomTom) but the position keeps jumping which is very anoying as I really liked it.
Mark.
Navigon 3.5.4
Using latest Navigon 3.5.4<-- i think, on the Coredroid series with no problems. Best IMHO.
I've switched over to typhoon rom..Igo is still stuttering! Using radio version 2.15 and the very same version as you. Maybe its SD-card related, so I will try to switch it.
@mskip: installed copilot. Need to test it, but looks okay.
I'm currently using Copilot, but I've been wondering, if I should change to Sygic Aura, because it looks so great. Does the Sygic Aura have speed camera warnings?

Yes it does and it does look the best of the bunch but it stuttered all the time while I was driving its like its constantly trying to catch up with it position and when you stop it goes crazy lol. May just be the Rom im using it with so give it a go and let us know if the movement is smooth.

Yes it does, but a couple of warnings.
-Routing just plainly ... (fill out the 5 letters).
-None existant support
-no time to arrival display in portrait mode (small bug according to them 'should be fixed in a couple of weeks, that was 4 months ago and a version back)
-old maps and speedcams that don't update
-jumps position when standing still (even with a external BT device that is spot on)
I am now using iGO with a skin and to be honest I love it.
As an old iGO man I was surprised to see a 2002 gps software look in Android comming from the skinned iGO in Winmo which is still far superb in many ways.
There are 2 skins you can find for iGO in Android which make it a bit more 'old school' like.
There is the motogis skin which I do not like since you only get speedcam warnings when travelling to fast and the you have the 12carrera12_Sbertaud13 which works perfect for me.

So iGo is better than Sygic Aura? Is there any benefits having iGo over Copilot? I'm liking the Copilot, but it doesn't seem to get map or speedcam updates very often. Is there same problems with iGo?

I have tried Copilot for 1 day and there where a couple of things that bothered me. I believe it was not seeing the speed I drove or not showing the max speed on a road. Can be that I am wrong in this but I think it was that.
In iGO there are many sources to create your speedcam files from so I would concider that to be opensource like.
The latest maps I believe are from mid 2010 so still pretty ok to me.
But we are hijacking someones thread here!
Mideel any way to record this and to put it on youtube so we can have a look at it?
Im also running coredroid 1.6 and have no problems with the stock navigation. I installed Dark Angels GPS fix and get a quick GPS lock. Been working flawless in my opinion.

Its okay, since I'm interested in other oppinions about the variety of navigation-systems for android.
no need to to record it, just imagine you are watching a youtube-video and it is buffering all the time, so the clip doesnt run smoothly. thats how it sounds when the igo-voice is speaking. Just like I said, its stuttering.
But no one seems to have the same problem, so I suppose its hardware-related (SD-card or something)
Tested Copilot, its working, but Igo was always the better solution for me, since winmo 6.5 times.

Thanks, but maybe you missed the topic. Stock-Navigation means Google Maps, right? Well, its not offline. And GPS Fix is fine and fast for me without any fixes or modifcations
