Hi,
I have a strange problem I was using copilot and it was working good. After upgrading to 1.6 firmware I decided to format android and clean it from some apps.
I installed again copilot and it went well, but when I load it it says
"copilot code cannot be loaded by the system" and it doesn't load anymore.
It is very strange to me.
Any idea?

1.6 broke Copilot. You'll have to wait for copilot to come up with a fix for it.
Yeah same happened to me, 1.6 broke it :-(
Works fine here....
Are you using the latest version of copilot?
Legit version that you bought from market?
copilot works here on cyanogens latest. or at least, it's a laggy, slow, almost-as-good-as-a-standalone-gps app. i aquired mine from alternative sources, and realized it wasn't anywhere near a regular standalone gps unit. since then i've dumped it. nice interface and all, but just too much lag.
google maps is decent enough for me on the road. i mean, i can make a block if i miss a turn or whatever.
Laggy? You just gotta wait a minute after it starts up in order for the system to stabilize. Copilot is *big*, so the CPU goes nuts on initial startup when other processes get blown out of memory and such.
As for standalone GPS's.... well, my GF's tomtom wanted to send us on a retarded route, so I started up copilot and it took a beeline straight to the objective. If you ask me, its WAY WAY better.
And google maps for navigation? About as horrible as it gets. Miss a turn and you're screwed. Copilot reroutes automatically as needed. Copilot also reroutes around bad stuff (like traffic jams). Learn how to use it and its great.

Nope I have CoPilot_v8.0.0.327-kfc2.0 version.
Go buy it.
anyone got a fix for this ? One of the main reasons I went for the HERO is to have a GPS SatVan unit with it... Can anyone suggest a good free alternative ? I find the font in Google Maps too small to make it a vaible option.

The latest version of copilot works fine with all versions of android up to and including 2.1.
I am a paid customer of copilot. for that reason i can say these things. their customer support sucks.
i purchased copilot while using a CM rom in sept 09. everytime i updated my version, i would have to re-download from the market. no biggie. same thing with docs to go, my backup, and other paid apps. i understand their concerns of pirated software. well, one day i decided to try some of the other roms as well as try danger spl, etc. i installed dwang. not a bad rom. i tried to re-download my copilot app... and my troubles began.
it would fail on download each time. never even loading 1% of the app. went back to cyan. still no good. i then went through each and every version released since sept. 09 to see if that would help. nope. i even unrooted my phone! still no good. during this time i searched every FAQ on copilots mother company's site. the one relevant answer i found was that you are supposed to unregister your software before moving to another phone. i guess the other rom registered with their system as another phone. well after a complete wipe, reformatting my sdcard, new rom, etc., i couldnot unregister the program. i tried for a month solid trading respectfull comments with their support guy. respectfull until he treated me like an idiot and made a few snide remarks. anyway... i finally accepted the fact that they were in no way going to give me a copy of the apk. so, i tried a copy from a site i found. i followed the instructions they had on the site, except were they said use some pirate license, etc., i used my authentic information. a short time later, i had my program back.
so, the moral of this story is this: if your legit and need support, you will get half @$$ed support from them. if you are legit, follow the instructions provided on some of the pirate sites WITH YOUR AUTHENTIC INFORMATION and you can get your stuff back up and running. had the jerk support guy just sent me the apk after confirming that i was a paid customer, and told me how to install it, i would have had mine up and running a month earlier.
i have had better support with 1 and 2 dollar app developers than these guys. pathetic.
oh, a big kicker. i sent the guy screenshots of me trying to download the software. he had the audacity to tell me my problems were caused by me using a non oem rom and that google doesnt allow that. what a putz. after i informed him of the fact i had been on the same non oem rom when i purchased the app, the theory of open source, and the fact that my rom was developed with the same sdk that they used to develop their program, and that google fully supports developers, he never responded to me. i then informed him of the fact that i reactivated my legit program using pirates instructions.
no wonder why their ranking in the market place is going down drasticly.

i know this story time and time again, these companies/music/film/tomtom paid for it never worked. industry etc etc create these these situations then try and use screwy laws to persecute people. its not new and it is a reflection of how weak we are as a society. imo

Blah blah blah.... copilot works fine and this is NOT a copilot/alk support issue that you are talking about... it is an ANDROID MARKET issue.
Changing the ROM does NOT require you to unregister the program. It registers against your phone's IMEI, which is constant REGARDLESS of SPL/Radio/ROM/whatever.
There was one version that had some registration problems back a couple of versions, I think they revamped the registration procedure and broke it -- it was replaced fairly quickly. The latest one works again and is actually fully compatible with 2.2.
And FYI: Asking them nicely *does* yield a copy of certain older versions. They don't keep around copies of every version known -- just the "major stable" versions, like 606.

Hello all,
I bought Sygic for Android last night and am very pleased with how the Desire handles SatNav.
The only issue i have is the sound.
I cant get the voices to play and its completely silent. The phone makes noise, its not on silent, Sygic is enabling the sounds, but i get nothing.
Does anyone else have this problem, similarly, does anyone have the vocies working ?
Ta
go co-pilot works a treat
One step ahead. Went and bought it this afternoon. Does tts work in it using native tts?
Just installed this and all works fine, bit slow going through the menus but voices are working. Will do till tomtom get their finger out.
What's the exact version of Co-pilot that you guys have?

I have Sygic on mine, and the sounds is fine. I get correct turn-by-turn instructions when routing, and speed camera warnings come through as well. Not sure where your problem lies though - seems a little odd. Perhaps re-installing might help?
Ta, but ive binned it in favour of Copilot now.
Cheers
I dunno about their current product, but their new one, Aura, looks rather tasty. Anyone know when they're due to release the Android version?

Aura is very nice I hope they also have Android version.
I guess, Co-Pilot is now the cheapest option until Auro is available !

I know you no longer have Sygic but I think I may have found the cause of the problem. I had Sygic on my HD2 so it was free to transfer it to my Desire but I also had no voices. I just tried disabling voice to text by selecting Touch Input in the Tap to compose window, restarted Sygic and now I seem to have sound again.
Did you have voice to text working when you had your problem with Sygic?

I'm surprised TomTom haven't introduced this 3D Landmark, etc to their mobile products (or any other?). In fact the design hasn't changed in ages!
I've got both the Sygic and Co-Pilot products running on my Android. Not had a chance to properly test them out. Co-Pilot seems a bit more 'polished' appearance wise.
Had a response from Sygic today
Thank you for your e-mail. I would like to inform you that application Aura will be available also on Android device. In this moment I can't give your exact date, but it should be available during upcoming couple of weeks. Thank you for understanding!
Hope 'couple of weeks' isn't a typo. Unfortunately, in a later email they said they did not think there would be an upgrade path from Mobile Maps.
I tried to rentall Sygic to my Desire tonight but it cmae up with the error that it was already registered on another device. REALLY ??
That was the last thinkg i did with it. Copilot reigns supreme on my phone now.
Whats the price of co-pilot on the android market?
I don't want to spend a fortune on software the phone is expensive enough

I will definitely wait for the Sygic Aura, really like its 3D maps ...
Too bad, they wont provide upgrade path from Sygic Mobile Maps ...
Right now, I will use TomTom on WM
Just seen this thread over in the Desire section - looks like Navigation is working in the UK now without needing to hack maps etc!
Quick test shows it appears to be working fine, haven't been out anywhere but it's giving locations, step by step directions etc!
Anyone else confirmed?
Holy cr*p it does seem to be doesn't it?
I'm stuck in work at the moment, but the navigation option has appeared and I can get it to launch. May have to go for a drive at lunch just to test it
Can anyone confirm it is working? I would LOVE to ditch Co-pilot.
I really hope it isn't an error on Google's part, which they are shortly going to correct and take it away again!?
Yeah, the option has appeared, I cant get a GPS signal tho as im stuck inside at work too.
Awesome update
It is working on my unrooted nexus one. It warns it is BETA version but who cares as Google always beta anyway. Version 4.1.1(#4156)
I did not even realise from the last update they had enabled it. No mention of it
How do i get to the turn bu tyrn navigation? When going to car home, navigation, then enter the end point, then i get some driving directions i can either see on a map, or as text, but i dont get that real turn på turn navigation, is there something you should activate or something like that?
Iam from Denmark btw, i wanted to test out if it maybe was opened to other parts of Europe aswell.
Exciting! Want to test it.
When I edge my chair closer to the window and start waving my phone towards the sky, people look at me nervously.

there should an option name "Navigate" just above the "directions". Ensure you have version 4.1.1

Working for me . Running CM 5.0.5.3.
I tried via Google Maps first of all and the option wasnt there, so I installed Nav Launcher from the market and that seems to generate directions.

Cheers!

PS But thanks again to Brut for his hack that made it work on the old version of Google Maps..)
can confirm its working here too.
In UK with latest Cyanogen on N1.
Been using CoPilot so far which has been ok, but id like to see how google's fair.
This is very cool and it has been released by google quicker than I thought it would have been. I haven't used it for a long journey but compared to the hacked version it seems to tell you the instructions before the junction rather than after so good work google. This is some nice proof that google is working hard to improve nexus one. One other note is my version says htc passion and nexus one and it also has my locale as eng (uk).
Awesome, that's [brut] Maps and Nav Launcher gone from my phone.
Great work, Google!
Yup, working on mine too.
The voice search is superb, just tap the voice search button on the Google search bar, then say "Navigate to" followed by the destination...
Yay. That's the tomtom in the dustbin as soon as my car mount arrives.
Navigation looks really good.. street names too, which was a surprise.
if i try and use the google maps application i get force close every time it searches for directions it works if i use nav launcher though...anyone got any ideas?
im using latest cm with nextheme and avs kernel...
thanks
edit: sorry nvm guys, this is already a known problem. hit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=667618 if anyone else has the same problem

Hey all,
Any Copilot users here? Are you able to create any new favourite locations? The process all seems to go through properly for me but then no favourite is created, even my recent destinations doesn't update itself, it's like something isn't able to be written to. Anyone else?
I'm using OD 3.1.0
Thanks

I'm sorry to say, but if you bought copilot you have to contact the official support. If you did NOT buy it: GO AWAY - these requests are not wanted in here!

Woah there horsey, that's a big assumption! Someone needs to decrease their righteousness.
I did indeed buy it, no dodgy copies here and I have contacted support directly but sometimes knowledgeable people with faster response times can be found on here.
i have no problems saving favorits on my copilot, im using version 8.2.0.218, i dont know if this is of any help but if you run copilot without the gps on it dosent seem to save anything you do
Same version here, GPS is definitely on too. Could be an Opendesire ROM issue maybe?

try clearing the data & cache in settings/applications, see if that helps
That was the first thing I tried. Then I uninstalled and even deleted the folder from the SD Card and reinstalled from scratch downloading the maps again and everything...no luck

I'm going to make a suggestion here, now don't think am saying this is better than that but have you tried sygic mobile maps instead? I use it myself and it's available from the HTC store so does that say anything for it?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I had this on my Hero when I took the sim out so can't really help. I tried NDrive when my Copilot expired (even though I purchased it months ago) and didn't like it at all (the UI wasn't very polished). Good luck if you contact Copilot support, they aren't the quickest.
I had that problem, updated to version v8.2.0.251, and the problem seems sorted.
Ooh yeah just noticed a new release today, has fixed it for me too, must have been a bug.
On a loosely related note...do you still have the option to turn off the "Welcome to Copilot Live" speech greeting when you start it? Seems to have disappeared on mine or I forgot where it is
No, lost the option to turn that off, along with the annoying beep every time you select something.
Same here...I'll send a message on twitter to their support
Good Luck,
I did report these as a problem by email a couple of weeks ago, and they notified me about the update 4 days ago. At least they solved the major problem in my eyes, only two more to go.

I’m having some difficulties to find working GPS software with the Aurora ROM, I don’t know if this is a ROM and/or ICS android problem.
The google Navigation is working but it’s very poor software.
The goal of this topic is to share our experience and possible workaround.
WORKING GPS SOFTWARE:
Google Navigation
NAVFree (nice free software, not so powerful but good for the money!)
igo v8.4.3.179971
NOT WORKING GPS SOFTWARE:
Ndrive v11.0.6
Sygic v11.2.6
Waze v3.0.1.1
TMN Drive v11.4.03
i have tmn drive and it is working just fine.
you should update your first post and say that the software itselft works.
the only thing that won't work is when you start navigation. or press volume up or down. (ndrive / tmn drive) it crashes.
because when just viewing the mapwith signal locked, it works fine.
ogaitz: can you start navigate to somewhere in tmn drive? I doubt, no one can.
i have tmn drive but its not working!!!
really strange.
tmn drive does not work... It says No GPS!
[edit]
Google Maps works fine... Strange!
i use igo8, it crashed on Google tts service in Aurora 1.9.
in 1.10 it works, you should try under Text and Speech if your TTS works.
maybe you could post a logcat on this crash, so i could see where the bug exactly is.
Anyone with Sygic? mine can't even complete the "initialization" screen, crashing every time.
Sygic 11.2.6

Just to draw your attention to XDA rule 15. Keep posts/threads on-topic
Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.
Your question has no relevance to this thread. I suggest you ask in the ROM thread, or if that rom has a support thread, then ask there.
Peace!

I think that a GPS software has implicit navigation, to explore maps we don't need GPS.
Loureiro,
Thanks, I think that it's an important issue to all, and discuss in the Aurora thread is very confusing...
Regarding Sygic, I confirm what you said, version 11.2.6 don't work. What i've tested is in the first post.

What I mean that it's not necessary to edit first post, because GPS software is too navigation, not explore maps.
People should report working or non working software that they use to navigate.

Thanks for this information, can you just add software version?
edit:
I've just updated the first post with a new software that I tested (NAVfree), and the result is good.
Free software with nice features.
TMN Drive is not working. It detects GPS and behaves normally until you press the "navigate" button, then it crashes.
I have iGO8, version 8.4.3.179971 and it is working great. I tested it yesterday and navigation works, was using it on my way home from work -20 km and it was ok. It does voice directions and recalculate routes without any problem.Gps fix is fast 10-15 sec and accurate. I use Aurora 1.11.
Thank you for sharing I will check, I've an older version of Igo 8.4.2
edit:
I've Installed 8.4.3 and don't close after 20/30 seconds, I will test driving home and update 1st post later on.
