Hello everybody.
Who can tell me which Navigation Programs run perfectly on the Touch HD?
(Navigon, TomTom, Garmin Mobile XT,....etc).
I only would like to install the Program and it must be run without changes.
BR Tom
MN|6 from navigon works fine in VGA with a small black row at the bottom
I'm wondering: If you navigate on let's say Garmin Mobile XT, and your HD sitting in the windshield holder, suddenly you receive an incoming call. Can you take the call on speaker and continue navigating, or the thing gets very laggy? Is the speaker even good enough for such a thing?
Garmin Mobile XT works perfectly, I installed the Micro SD card and it installed. I did not have quick GPS updated yet but I did define a new position and it found a signal in less than 5 minutes in my condo near the balcony window. I was very impressed, I did not have to do anything to configure ports or baud rates. Now, I haven't actually used it to navigate yet but I used it on my Touch and it works well.
Is there any good navigation software for folio 100?
For gps we can use blutooth gps.
so far the only SW I know are Navigon, Sygic, Copilot and the one from Google.
You can try Copilot, iGO or Sygic Aura
I tried to install Sigic Aura but it told me it need "3D hardware acceleration not available in this phone". Is it possible to solve this problem???.
Thanks.
I try Igo My Way and the screen is to small.I install CoPilot but I can't run it. It say "CoPilot's code cannot be loaded by the system". With Aura I have problem with 3D...

Thanks a lot.
Hello,
someone who tried this solution:
Haicom HI-505SD standard Bluetooth GPS receiver with standard miniSD to SD adaptor
Pros:
-standard Bluetooth connection
-power directly over the SD Card slot
to use navigation on the folio, u will need it to be constantly powered in the vehicle. there are many bluetooth gps receivers, and some of them are reported to work nicely with android 2.2 with the help of some 3rd party apps. but didi anyone find a way to power the folio in the car?
Officially there is no connector that you can use, but you can use a 3th party adaptor to get a 220/110 volt out of the cigarette lighter outlet.
You can also get a external backup battery.
I have a 12->15-21v laptop power supply to use in the car which was much better than trying to use a 240v charger in the car (it kept killing the little invertors I tried before).
Ok, i found a solution to using gps on the folio via bluetooth. There is an app called gpsredirect for winmo5 n up. Install bluetooth gps on android. U will need a pda running win mo 5 or above with integrated gps chipset. I han an old eten g500+ i was not using. I will make as my bluetooth gps receiver for the folio. Gps redirect works only on some devices, check the tested n supported list!
Just need to find a working navigation app for the folio now. Got a car charger for the eten g500+, just need to solve the charging for folio n the navigation app n we r good to go.
ok. i got co-pilot live on the folio and it works nicely. runninf on full screen. the graphics are not astonishing since its extrapolated and not made for 1024x600 screens but it looks fine to me.
I havent gotten time to try it with the apps i mentioned and the eten g500+, but will do so as soon as possible. now just needs to figure out a way to charge the folio in the car
at the end, it just for the sake of doing this and seeing a nav app running properly on the folio, but practically it is useless. the screen is too big to be legally placed on the dashboard of the car or the windshield for that matter.
secondly due to the screen size and brightness, it is not advised to drive at night with that kind of brightness flashing in the eyes.
i have a bleuthoot gps and working with navigon and ndrive on my folio.
it works perfect
Sygic
I think the best is Sygic GPS Navigation.
Very smooty and fast.
hi there..
i would like to discuss about having archos as navigator or GPS..

you might need to install software like "bluetooth gps provider" or "Bluetooth GPS" on archos and something like "Bluetooth GPS Output" on your gps receiver (at market) or "GpsGate" for windows mobile (phone only).
I shared my Nexus Ones gps via bluetooth to my A43, it was very simple and worked with any program I used.
I did a search and had found some usb bluetooth receivers around $50-60, probably don't need anything special to get the job done.

I use an iBlutooth gps receiver and it works with google and Oruxmaps, no problem.
Check out Orux maps for use with aviation. He has PC software to import geo-referenced charts. It works great with charts from FAA Aeronav. It's one of the main things I bought my tablet for. I was using my phone in the cockpit.

I used NDrive and Google Maps on my A43, I use Sygic Aura on my Nexus One (actually bought this one, it is really nice and in the general Android Apps & Games forum I started a thread of discount codes). Ndrive is a little more friendly to the resistive screen as its controls are larger and easier to hit.
Hi!
I use a Jentro BT-gps-8, works without any aditional software with Copilot, but have some Problems with the graphics if I turn the Archos 101 pad.
Maybe I make tomorow some screenshots of the display
regards
reporting,papago x5 failed on my archos..anyone successfully install papago x5 on archos tablet?
On the Archos: Bluetooth GPS by Googoo Android.
On my phone (an Eris): Bluetooth GPS Output by Meowsbox.
Both are free on the market, but "output" is limited to 10 minutes. If it works, its only about $1.60 for the full version.
Turn on bt on both devices, start output on phone, then start the one on the Archos. Pair and connect. Once you start seeing the readings on the Archos, you can start Google Maps and navigate! Google Maps will kick you to the settings to choose "choose bluetooth gps".
Enjoy!
I use a bt-359 gps connected with bluetooth to my A70. Found it on ebay for 7 euro and it works perfect!

Papago X5 failed on my 101 as well, but NavDroyd and Sygic Aura work like charm.
A101 + BTGP-38KM/65C from http://www.dealextreme.com/p/65-cha...king-bluetooth-gps-receiver-data-logger-26337
Globalsat bt-359 is a nice size, works well and is the best GPS I have ever used.
I use my wm phone MWG Zinc II as the gps receiver, the wm phone install the app gpsgate to become a bluetooth gps receiver, then use google map in archos to connect to the wm phone through the bluetooth.

Did the same thing with my old Omnia...using GPS2Blue...works with CoPilot, Google navigation & Sygic Aura (only 3 tested so far...
Tried phone but takes longer to fix, much worse sensativity in bad signal areas.
Plus I want phone for tethering sometimes
The bt-359 is amazing. Seconds to fix (warm start) indoors (none of my other GPS devices work in house). Also worked in a city, in car with coated windscreen with GPS just chucked in pocket down beside gearstick (also dropped in same location on another car the other day it didn't loose signal once).
Superb is the word for it
NExus one BT cannot pair?
I'm trying to test using my Nexus One's GPS
I can't even connect. I can pair the devices but thats it, its not actually connected. If I long press on the nexus one device entry the only option that comes up is unpair. Anyone else get this?
Its identical if I try it from Archos to Nexus one i.e. the N1 has paired with the archos, but there is no option to connect.
N1 running 2.2 stock
Archos running 2.1.08 stock

It will keep saying that connect but not fair until you start your GPS software if you configure the GPS correctly.
ever since i got froyo i haven't got sygic and my external bluetooth gps to work. seems like sygic doesn't detect it even though i got the bluetooth mouse app like before.
before it's open the BT mouse app then connect my ext bt gps then load up sygic and starts finding the satellite.

i've used all the 2.2, 2.2.1, 2.3.3, and 2.3.4 roms and i use the app "bluetooth gps provider" found in the android market and it works great. and i use a sirfIII bt gps receiver called globalsat bt-359, it gives me 3 ft accuracy and has excellent battery life.
p.s. navigon is way better than sygic if you ask me
i didn't get it because i forgot about it (i had sygic and copilot in mind when I search). not sure if it's just iphone only that time.
thanks anyway ill think of getting it and also test this app.
update: after reading review i think ill get navigon now. lol
I have IGO on my htc hd2 and it is working well on it but when i transfer it to the iconia it refused to work because the screen resolution how i can make it open??
i was able to run igo some days ago at iconia but the max resolution of igo is 800x400 or something like that - so it looks ****ty on tablet.
right now there is no igo version which will properly run on tablets.
but let's still have hope that it will be changed.
proxonic
so what is the best program to use for navigation ????
sygic aura or co-pilot.
both are working great on iconia a500.
navigon does not work because of missing Imei number - iconia doesn't have it.
