Hello guy's,
I'm looking for Navigation software that uses offline maps. I've tried Navigon and Copilot. Working good.
I only have one big problem. I live in Holland and often travel to Germany. Navigon and Copilot can't calculate routes over borders. So I have to navigate to the nearest town to the German border , enter Germany and enter a new destination.
Is there anybody who knows how to fix this? Or another navigation software?
Thnx!!
** edit ** sorry on checking I was wrong
hello sector51,
you can install mobile maps 10... works fine for me
http://www.sygic.com/
je kan mobile maps 10 instaleren werkt prima maar soms neemt hij wel een kleine omweg maar dat doet tom tom ook hij is ook wel op het net te vinden!
Or try motonav. For me works fine

Hi. I use copilot which is available from the Android market. It's around 33 English pounds or around 45 USD.
It's great. Works perfect. Highly recommend it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I tried Navigon, Igo and Copliot.
From all 3 Copilot has the ugliest menu but has more settings, options etc.....Navigon and Igo have so few options, and both not showing current speed etc....
Haven't tried Sygic tho

That's not entirely true. Co-pilot can navigate over borders. I travelled from Vancouver to Seattle the other day without problem. However, in order to do this you must not download individual maps for smaller regions (i.e. in my case British Columbia - Canada and Washington - USA) as then it doesn't work. In order to get it to work I had to download all of North America as one big map and then it would work fine.
Therefore, if you are in Europe and have a big SD card, just download the entire western europe map and not ones for individual countries or regions

That's not correct. During trial period Navigon does not calculate routes over borders. If you buy it, cross-border navigation works. I went from Austria to Croatia (over Slovenia) last week and Navigon worked as designed.

I'm checking out Maps (-) at the moment - caches OpenStreetMap offline - won't do navigation and searching but does do offline mapping.
If you can live with using OpenStreetMap, try NavDroyd. Caches maps on SD, with routing and pretty fast! Works fine with my Desire on Froyo.
Copilot works fine across borders. Never had problems with it. well, except for signal, but that is depending on where I am. Guess that's with all navigation software on phones.
Is there any info on 2.2 compatibility? I am thinking of rooting and getting 2.2. But if that means I have to give up on navigation for now, I don't know.

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

Hello
I installed TT 7.910(9185) with Western Europe 815_2024.
It works, but its sooo slow! The Map lags when I navigate very much. Like the CPU is to slow. I tried also small Maps like "Alps" and it lags too. Is not bether.
But on my TomTomOne V2 (266MHz, 32MB RAM is working very fine.)
Anyone have a Idea why is so slow when i navigate?
Thank You
sometimes lags are due to too much POI on maps
i use the same configuration as you (navigator & map) and i didn't notice any lags

I live in Switzerland and there are Speedcams not allowed. TomTom dont provide any speedcams in Switzerland more...
But Im very happy with www.scdb.info on my OneV2 wich i use every day in my car. I drive about 1500km per week, And they get me once with a mobile speedcam^^
check on GPSPassion.com
i think speedcams are available for free

Hello
All Maps with 815_2024 works also on TT 7.910(9185)
the 2024 are "lite" Maps without IQ Routes and ALG.
To use IQ routes and ALG you need NavCore 8 and 815_2003 Maps.
I was drive now a little and it works fine and smooth!

After over six weeks finally an answer from TomTom - could not be worse, it reads:
"Navigator 7 is a software product that is only available as an exclusive offering that comes preloaded on specific handsets that are available only in Europe. As such, unfortunately we do not have a Navigator 7 solution for your handsets. Outside of TomTom’s policy, our exclusivity with the handset manufactures prevents us from complying with your request. We do apologize for any inconvenience."
Is that no the best way to loose customers....
Although there are other ways to get TomTom 7 on your Xperia, that sucks indeed.
Looks like you won't get an official one. That sucks of them to be honest. I'm not an 'honorable' customer myself as I use a cracked one. But this is a fail-safe way of making paying customers go away.
If they won't sell it, that's their fault...
There are plenty of places to get TT7 on the net and it works a treat on the X1.
IGO8 is so much better than Tomtom anyway. I love igo8.
TomTom 7 - v7.910.9185 is the latest version available to download, works great on x1 but I agree igo 8 is better.

Not really.
IGO has no automatic intelligent traffic rerouting based on real world traffic jams. No automatic updating of speed camera's (fixed & mobile). Igo does have a clickable navigation screen though. I.e. you can click on something your passing and see what it is. Tomtom 6 misses that, don't know about 7.
for me, tomtom 7.910 works like a charm
Did you have to do anything special to get 7.910 installed on yor X1. Everytime i try it comes up with device not supported.
Do you need to be connected to the internet to use tomtom7?

There is however a workaround. Download Resource Hacker, open a copy of TomTom Navigator.exe and remove the resource under HI_RES_AWARE. Save the file and replace on device.
Then I would recommend to install the navigation panel to easily run tomtom in landscape without having the keyboard out. If you use panels, that is ..
The text in the statusline is getting bigger as well, and portrait navigation is a bit narrow.
Which GPS apk do you recomend to use ? With precise european maps & good graphics resolution for i5800 screen.
Sygic has not good resolution for i5800 and Navigon looks OK - but no experiences.
At Windows mobile I was very satisfied with Igo 8
As OpenStreetMap Contributor I would recommend MapDroyd or OsmAnd. For those who don't know openstreetmap, take a look at wikipedia (can't post links as new user...)
I am using copilot live, and love it really. great screen resolution, no crashing.

Take a look here: hxxp://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android
And in Germany you can't get better maps than OpenStreetMap. And best thing is, even if there is something missing, just add it yourself. Maps are and will be free.

I second that.
At least try Navigation (comes with Google maps) as I've found it works perfectly and is free. You just need a data connection when you first plan the route.
If you don't have it, download Google maps from the market.

On My HD2/Android, I use ....
CoPilot 8. I purchased the USA only today for only $4.99 from their website.
My dual boot phone now has CoPilot for both operating systems. It works more smoothly on Android, and I'm really happy with it.
The navigation app that came with my Android distribution (little blue arrowhead pointing up) also works just fine, with its integration into Google Maps.
try ndrive it works nice
copilot is sweet, and navigon also, but i know that gingerbread struggles with navigon, other ROMs dont.
he he he... the one which has the map for the country you're in and your language
(and if someone knows an Android nav with a map of China NOT in chinese... i'm interested)
For me: Igo
For my wife: Garmin
So who's right?
IGO is working?
