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.
Is there a cop radar/detector app for PPC? To slow down when a cop is around, this would be a very useful app if anyone can come up with one.
i'm sure you can make one, but your device doesn't have a radar detector, does it. If they sell bluetooth radars, by all means, try it.
How would your PPC detect a cop? A PPC does not have any type of radar detecting hardware, thus there would be no way to build software for it.
Radar Detector!?!?!?! LMAO!
Well, that any radar detectors are almost useless. By the time it goes off most of the time are already busted.
However...I believe there is an add-on for TomTom Navigator that people report where speed traps are and were, so they are marked on your map as you drive. There are examples of it on Youtube somewhere.
I think it would be sweeter if they incorporated a swiss army toolkit in a PPC.
Come on guys ,
the boy ain't too
bright .
Heres an idea...Don't Speed!
I think it's hilarious when I pull someone over for speeding and they have a radar unit on their dash.....
Sounds like someone had to go back to driving school once or twice
Ummm being a Police Officer I will have to tell you...there is no good radar detectors out there. As earlier stated...by the time your radar detector goes off we already have you. The only time it would be benificial would be when the police officer is running a stationary radar on a main road and has it turned on, just pointing in one direction!
I can see it now...using your Tilt as a radar detector, trying to text message someone while you have a mp3 playing...BAM you smack into a tree!!!

I was thinking something along this line, there is a program like this on Modaco. It's not that great though, looking for something way better than this.
There are many good radar detectors like Escort and many Laser jammer for Cop radars
Only that price is a little high.
Starting from 500 euro

first question, how how do you want to detect a cop ? Do they send gamma rays
if you mean a radar detector: you should know how they work, here the traffic cops have Laser detecors. And now the Masterquestion noob: what phone do you use that has the hardware to detect laser beams ??? I want it
Maybe you can get help here:

Well i have a TomTom One. and it doesn`t have a radar detector. The only way it anounces radars is if they are posted in the TomTom like POI points of interest like a restaurant a store... but mobile radars sometimes change place. Only fixed ones are more reliable.
im struggling to find anything decent that isn't euro. anyone have any ideas?
thanks

Google maps has all the NYC subways available, you just have to turn it on in the "layers" section in the gmaps settings. It will even give you travel directions using the trains/buses.

I'll point out too that gmaps has mass transit info like that in most major metro areas. We don't have subways here, but I use the city busses all the time, and every single stop and schedule is available to me in real-time with just a few clicks...it's probably been the #1 most useful app out of all of them on my HD2!
I love it when someone at the bus stop asks me "do you know when the XXX bus comes?" or "do you know which bus I need to take to get to _____?"...just so I can say "no, but I can look it up for you!" as I whip out my magicbox with the 4.3" viewport...it always wows them
yeah , just the same i'd liek to see a subway map app which shows nyc. it is one of the largest, most impressive as wellas misunderstood subway systems in the world yet there is no map app of any sort for it; at least that i can find.
i'd love to hear if anyone knows anything regarding this...
thanks

The google maps app on your phone has a transit option that does exactly that. I've used it many times and it has all of the NY Subway info. It's never failed me. Check it out. Gives you very detailed directions to the subway from where you are on foot, then which trains to take, the foot directions to get to your final destination once you get off the train.

Well since we know that we get no signal once inside the subway, google maps won't work here.

You download the info before you leave or get into the subway. The program will stay running and you can look at your phone even if you don't have a signal...
It's not a step by step GPS function. It's just directions. Or just download the info, email it to yourself and look at the directions via email...
Get Directions-->Transit tab--> Type in your start and end points and you get the info...

Thats what I do, but the Subway maps have just been updated (Effective June 27), so get the latest maps at MTA.Info With all the budget cuts with the MTA, the new maps are a must have (bus maps also).
Also, before Googlemaps had transit info, I would use HopStop.com
thanks guys. these are all fine work-arounds and i use them already however, this does not really address my question.
i am looking for, or would like an actual nyc subway map application.
does anyone know if any?
thanks

I'm after suggestions for a decent STANDALONE mobile phone locator (I don't want it incorporated into an antivirus app). It must make use of maps to locate the position of the phone.

Well there's HTCsense.com. I don't know if it works with the gingerbread update or if you have to root your phone, to get access to it.
Or you could give Prey a try:

There's also something called Plan B:

Seems to work for people.
Ive been using wheresmydroid for past year. Only runs when you text the phone a special keyword. Can be used to find on silent too. Would recommend.
I second Plan B. You can install it remotely from your PC even after you've lost your phone. Provided data is turned on.
An ars article about it.

The trick is getting garmin maps work on android devices... I'll post full details tomorrow (no guarrantee though )
HTC location doesn't have highly detailed maps of all the countries...
Garmin has those, but it's not fully available on android
Offline navigation is a plus too! Garmin have that.
But i'm using another app to read the Garmin maps... As i said, i'll post all the details later...
Keep posting guys! I wanna see more people interested in this

Having offline interests me a lot! I use Google Navigation and Google Maps right now but takes awhile to boot and locate. Not having to use data, I'm hoping, will lead to faster performance. Plus, I'm sure this could be used in other devices as well? I'm looking at my WiFi-only tablet as a 10" GPS if this works out =)

Performance will be a little slower on our dz (if you put details on max). But on faster devices, its really smooth
I think it would be awesome if this post got to android general forum

I'm definitely interested. I'm always looking for apps that'll let me get directions without connecting to data or GPS.

why do you let them wait? app is called navitel. it's available on google play and can read gmapsupp.img from garmin. search it on google to know more.

you obviously don't have knowledge in those apps.
Navitel is the app that will be used for navigation. but navitel DOES NOT support .img maps. it does support .nm2 maps, and the key is to know how to convert those maps, and get rid of the errors...
