igo8 - Desire Themes and Apps

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.

Nav N GO iGO 8
8.0.0.54000
Sep 1 2008
I really love Igo 08.
- I only have one small question. - I live in Denmark, so almost no 3d buildings. So just to show of, I created a demo route in Berlin/London/Paris, so I could show them this new cool feature (3d building). But 3d buildings dosn't show in demo routes... Do any of you know why? (Or how to make these buildings show?)
Got this version already. Any changelog? as i can't see any major differences. Anyone seen real VGA skin ?
Just tried this out today and say I believe I like it better then tomtom. I especially like the next two turns displayed all the time on the screen. I also like that it displays house/building numbers on the map as well.
Me likes.
No US Maps I see
Do they plan to release US maps, or is this an overseas app only?
In the US, it is called OnCourseNavigator
http://www.oncoursenavigator.com
any gps with 3d maps and buildings for Los Angeles?? iGo stil doesnt have buildings for LA...at least not that i know of...
Is this a free app or do you have to purchase it? Also is there a map for Canada?
Thanks

They are on the SD card/DVD you have bought (I don't know in which form the diamond version will be shipped).
Stop asking for warez.
You cannot buy the software without maps!!
TDO
There is a file inside the contents folder called maps with the Basemaps file inside it but i still dont have any maps displaying om my device, I cant enter any addresses or postcodes or anything i just wanted to get another copy of that file to replace the old one with to see if that works or weather ill have to send the whole package back!

There were only 11 posts and the first post has a 'more info' link. The information was there, but you decided to post your qu estion anyway. Just wanted to say you should read before you post. (You just said you didn't.)
Please take a look at the link in the first post, because this software is realy worth it. And the linknet skin (ultraskin) you can find on the pdamill forum adds even more functionality!

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!

So the compass in Touch HD only gives you digital coordinates.
There is no visual compass like on Android-devices and Iphone 3GS, right?
I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding your discussion - but since when does the HD have a compass??? AFAIK it doesn't!

Exactly, thats why im wonderring how this is supposed to work?
My GPS connects and i get coordinates, thats it.
I guess thats all we can expect from our Touch HD.
rumours says ... HD hardware provides a hidden compass feature.... (like TMC or graphic improve)
it needs only software (or software programmer) to work ....
But the compass software unfortunately delivers the same error to me as the topics thread says....
Well it kind of works for me, when i get a GPS-signal in Google Maps I get coordinates in the compass-software aswell. But thats it.
Our HD doesn't have build inside digital compass so unlike iPhone 3GS we cannot use it inside building instantly, must have GPS reception with coordinate. New HTC Tattoo has it, you can see it in its specification, and maybe HTC Leo will have it as well.
I have yet to get the compass turning, so it's almost useless for now. If you have GPS software, it will give you both the coordinates and direction of North.
I guess it's just a cool gimmick in the end.
like many GPS programs that are available for WM, most have a compass componenet to them a personal fave of mine is efficasoft GPS, though it will only register once your movement and direction has been determined via GPS coordinates, So unless you have like someone else said the new Iphone or some others maybe have a proper digital compass then you should get a stationary reading ?, anyway.... I think thats right....?, feel free to corect me....

Install GoogleMaps again.. trust me ;-) and about the compass..it works when you are in the move only ... so it's kinda unuseable - compass toy
you have to make sure you install, google maps to your main memory not your storage card. Then it works, but once you try to quit it causes slow down and problems until you soft reset.

The HD does not have a digital compass in it like some other phones. You can run a GPS compass on it, however.
A GPS compass can tell you which direction you are moving but it cannot tell you which direction you are pointing.

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:

Compass for what?!!? Google map?

Hi all,
when iphone came out with compass, I had Xperia, which has no compass. When I was using the google map I had to figure out if I am looking at it from the right orientation. I was pretty sure that when I get a phone with compass it would orient itself with the north and south, as it has a compass inside. Quite surprisingly, it does not!!! What does it do anyway?? The only thing I found that there are apps using them you can find north and south.
Right now I am using X10 with Android 1.6 (unrooted, well there is no root for it yet). Is there a way to enable compass in google map?? It haven't been thought off yet ? If yes, could someone tell me how to?
Thanks in advance
Bikram

It is there by default, actually it can't be disabled ;-) You could see your direction by looking at blue arrow (that which shows your location).
If I'm not mistaking I think I didn't have it by default. I thought I dloaded it through menu -> more -> google labs.
But chances are really tiny that brut.all is wrong.
Just thought I'd let u know for the tiny chance there is.

This isn't in the labs. Are you sure you have latest GM (4.2)? Are you sure your compass is working properly?

well on the last update of maps, i think google removed the compass support..
it was there in labs on the preinstalled version of maps...
i have a x10, so this is information about the x10..
I got the x10i and the blue arrow doesn't show me the direction at all.
I got the last GM.

I think not, because I have GM latest and as you can see I have this arrow. If it was in the labs section earlier, then they probably finished testing it and added as standard feature. This is purpose of labs: testing new things.
I think you should download some other app which use compass and see whether it will show you compass data.
I have the arrow but it doesn't show me the direction I am pointing towards
RMaps rotates map according to compass orientation
RMaps rotates the map according to the compass orientation, but it doesn't have navigation or much search.
