Best Gps Navigation Software

hello everyone!
i am going to buy a gps mouse today, the hollux 236, and now i am wondering, what you think are the best apps to use with a gps mouse!?
most of all i am interessted in navigation software, like TomTom for example. but what are the alternatives to TomTom? what's your recommended nav software?
i would also like to know, what other usefull apps there are to use with a gps mouse...?
any info is appreciated!
thx in advance,
krz

I would definetly go for tomtom navigator 6, its the best ive ever used simple yet effective

IGO - the best for driving navigation

Wich country
You will not always have the choice because not always navigation software have the maps for the countries you want.
for exemple, Tom Tom is a lot for Europe and USA and Mapking for Asia

I am using three on my Artemis:
iGO 2006 Plus with the lastest Portuguese/Spanish maps (2007.07);
TOMTOM 6.032 (8351)with the latest Iberia maps (675.1409);
ROUTE66 Navigate7 with the latest Iberia maps (Q4, 2006 i think);
Both TOMTOM and iGO work better than Route66 because R66's maps are very old and i can't find anything more recent. My favourite is TOMTOM because of its ease of use and overall speed starting up/navigating. iGO has got the looks and the maps are as good (or seem to be) as TOMTOM's.
I also have a TOMTOM GO V3 standalone navigator with version 7 of both the software and maps (Iberia Version 710) and those are way more updated than version 675.1409. Also it has much more detail on the maps.
All this text to say that if TOMTOM7 comes out for the PDAs it's gonna be a winner for me.

i would say garmin...now there is the new mobile xt prog for free for ppc...correct maps for europe...including deep city view

thx for the answers!
i think, i will give iGo Plus a shot....
what other cool tools should i get for working with the gps...?
i once heard of tools to programm or configure the gps mouse...?
interessted in more tips and tricks,
krz

good choice !
I use Igo and I like it more than Tomtom.
the next version (Igo 8) is coming soon and I was very impressed with the demo I've seen.

But is there any good GPS software with Middle East maps. I love navigation but dont have any GPS Software.
If anyone of you have a GPS software with Middle East Maps, so please can you give me.
Thanks

Where do you get this sw free?

http://www.garmin.com/garmin/cms/site/us
you can visit that site for further information, i guess garmin works the same way tomtom does, so you can get the software for free and maybe a test map and the only thing you need to buy are the maps. i didn't look up the price for a us / north america map now, because i am at work and the garmin site is really slow.

[Q] GPS for Android

Hi,
I am using Winmo Energy ROM & Android Froyosense 2.2
I always use Garmin mobile XT for my gps, but i don't know what gps software should i use when i am on android?

I am happily using Sygic Mobil Maps

You could also try Ndrive available from the market

There is IGOmyway available as well. I use it right now

They all suck compared to Garmin. Hopefully they come up with an Android version. All though the one that come on the Desire HD seemed pretty swell! Tried it out for a bit but had to give up on the rom.

what is the software's name?
I tried one by one from previous replier, but it seems that i have to buy for the map/software
thanks

I don't except using GPS in android at all.....

Garmin is not free either. Hasn't been available by retail for a few years. Unless you find a hacked version. Or purchased it a few years ago.
And with a little googling you should be able to find igo or ndrive too. Igo can be a pain to set up and get working correctly on the HD2. Ndrive was a breeze. I have both.
You can always use the FREE google navigation app as long as you have a data connection. Also somewhere on xda someone has developed BRUT google maps. Where you can cache maps and add them to your storage card so you can use the app without having a data connection.

Ndrive is by far the best behind google maps. Its has a nice GUI, and so far routing has been pretty good for me.

Google Maps App

Hi everybody, and welcome.
Would it be difficult to make an app for Google Maps similar to the one that iPhone has (maps rotating using compass, adding favs or sync with google account). Though the most imoprtant thing is compass amd rotation...

Bada needs good navigation app. For now route66 is having lot of bugs and we need google maps for bada

There is a modified Java version of GoogleMap for the Wave.
I found it on badaforums.net and it's working.
Not perfect but enough for me

hi...
y not just share the link 4 google maps u r using

Here you are... You'll probably have to search thru the topic to have the good version since I had it since I had my Wave so it's quite a long time ago.

Route66 is a LOT better than both Sygic Aura and NDrive on Android. I have tried them all and prefer Route66 on Bada to these two. I will never understand why these apps do not use native keyboard on Android? NDrive is the ugliest and most annoying to use one and Sygic's usability and UI sucks.

Maybe in you contry... - nDrive is very fast compared with Route66
Let's don't talk about Android, in that case iGO is the best

I agree with googlemaps native for bada. Java version needs many improvements.
Hopefully come out soon
Regards!

Which Navigation app?

Hello,
Which navigation app works better on Anroid mode in HD2?
Do you know which is best for Greece?

Hello,
I use IGO My way for androïd, you can use this skin for iGO My way™ for Android 800x480_motogis or this one Skin 12Carrera12 Sbertaud13 Androïd V7.0d EUR+ you can find help and tutorial here : mioskins.org ( in french) the other forum is here considered warez so google is your friend...

I am using Sygic Aura, small lags in 3D maps, but its best navigation software on market ...

Hi there. I'm also a keen user of Sygic Aura and I haven't actually noticed any lags. Its really smooth and quite precise. I can recommend it with no doubt.

big fan of regular Google Maps/Navigation here
edit: just realized you said greece no idea if google map/navigation is good there.

I use google maps and Sygic Aura , works great! not any lag of somekind.

google maps works great!

Personal preference is IGo and Sygic Aura isn't too bad either. But do you really need '3D' - is it not better to have an accurate plane 2d representation of the road ahead?
Still to try Sygic Mobile Maps and NDrive so can't comment on them.
Forget Navigon - untidy UI and routing is simply nonsensical.

I am using IGO8 and it works fine. I have maps for N.America, Costa Rica, Singapore, Philippines, and HK and they all work on my GB 2.3.2.

Navdroyd
I use Navdroyd , but its not really suitable for daily use. (not the best usability, house numbers, sometimes strange rout) but its with the cool & open source Open Streetmap map. But it is beeing constantly improved.
For daily use i think, google navigation is pretty good.

hi, does the igo8 you're using has working text to speech?

I dont use it much, so I just went into the settings to have a look. I have no selection for text to speech. Is that an add on or something?

Go for Google Maps

Google Maps is not so accurate over Romania. The best GPS maps for Romania are from Garmin. I also search for an improved GPS app. iGo? I think iGO maps are outdated.

Yep, Copilot is pretty great!

I Use Google Maps (Onwhere version with worldwide navigation) - absolutely flawless. When I have to go abroad, I use Copilot - it is fully offline, so it doesn't cost me fortune on roaming.

download
Do you guys have a download page for copilot live ? Or a link orsomething?
If so i use it especially in romania.so the map is updated?

sygic aura, it work fine with map offline,and it's possible to download romania maps

NDrive works for me. it can be used offline

What is this "onwhere" version you are talking about? Pardon my ignorance, I'm new to android

Using Sygic Mobile Maps 10 (with TeleAtlas maps). Perfectly fine for the countries I need (Czechia, Slovakia, Germany, Austria). For some others, only major roads are covered though, so might not be what you want.
See sygic.com/en/android:maps for info on road coverage per country.

Ndrive is the best

I'm using IGo and i am very satisfied with Romania maps

i downloaded google maps and my phones comes with ndrive with my country maps for free

hi
ndrive is very acccurate....

In India, for me the Best navigation app is Sygic Mobile Maps with Map my India 6.0 maps.
Offline, fast and accurate.

Here in Brazil I've used Google Navigator. There is NDrive too, but it's too expensive....
