+1 for igo
I really like Copilot. Have had no problems with it and the interface is cool.
Can't find igo in market it is named something else
Device HTC Desire
Rom RcmMixSv08
SD class 4 6.40gb fat32 / 1gb ext3
S OFF
Radio 5.11.05.14

Copilot works fine for me too
#1 iGO myWay
#2 Aura
at least for me
I used IGO on my previous phone, but now I'm using Aura.
Both good, and always pointed me to my destination.
I've tried plenty of them. I think I should try iGO next as people seem to like it. Here's my opinions on some of the most popular navigators.
CoPilot Live 8 is quite solid one. It has a lot of features and POI:s everywhere. The UI is very smooth and fast, maybe the best you can get on phone navigator. The only downside is battery usage. From all the navigators I've tried, this definitely uses the most battery. I could drain almost 20% battery with less than 1 hour drive. So if you need to navigate without having a charger or spare battery at hand, I wouldn't recommend CoPilot.
NDrive 10 This is a real beast with battery, but it has it's costs - the UI is clutchy and laggy. Searching places is a real pain in the ass, because the keyboard NDrive uses is some custom one with strange position of keys. Some features are well hidden to menus, for example it was really hard to navigate a premade route. I would not recommend this program unless you need the navigating software that doesn't take all your battery.
Navigon After some difficulties with Gingerbread Android I finally got my hands on the newest Navigon and so far the experience has been good. The setup was hardest for all these navigators, as I had to use some quite laggy and badly translated PC program to download maps. Other option was to download them directly from phone, which was extremely slow and for some reason it only downloaded maps to another continent.
Navigon has quite smooth UI and seems to have plenty of features, although I am not sure if it has as much as CoPilot. Battery usage seems to be somewhere in between Copilot and NDrive.
Google Maps seems to be quite simple navigator and that's probably all what I need, not any fancy internet features as some of these navigators offer. The bad thing about Google Maps is that it hasn't got turn-by-turn navigation where I live. Maybe some day I can try navigating with Google Maps so I can tell how it compares to these other ones on the market.
I hope you got any help from these short reviews. If you need any more information, please feel free to ask!
Aura for me works perfectly.

For offline navigation I use Aura GPS Navigation. But in my country I use Google Maps (brut for navigation ), it's the best.
I wanted to install iGo8, i did as well , but i removed it because of the lack of the possibility to move it to SD. If it's possible than please somebody tell me the trick, 'cause I used to have igo on my touch HD and I loved it.
igo primo +1
+1 igo 8 primo
Thnxx guyz for the response... I installed IGO .. and yehs it is good.. next thing I wanna try is Aura GPS... thnkx anyways
Where do u igo can't find it
The best things come to those who wait

Hi all, just bought my HD2 and i'm searching for some navigation software, I saw the TomTom version being installed on the HD2 is the same as on my old HTC Elf, so I'm a bit confused, what's the best navigation software for our device? Just shoot!
Thankz
I have used both TomTom and iGO8 both work for me. But being a long term Tomtom user tend to use that the most
i have tom tom, but am yet to give it a good work out(so to speak)
thankz for the input!
TomTom user here, too. Been very happy with it on my TyTnII, looking forward to experiencing it on an HD2. Though every now and again the maps are not 100% accurate (like sending you down a fire road in very rural areas) that applies to any navigation product. I find it easy to use, reliable and there's a large community of TomTom users out there to get help from.
Just installed TomTom, i'll try IGO8 also, looks promising
I love my Copilot live (Version 8) with TTS and Live Traffic. Roxxx!
And: after 3 years of usage (including Live traffic) it has cost almost as much as navigon (30 € Copilot + 5€ TTS + 3x20€ Live Traffic) and: It is much better (in my humble opinion).

Same here, but I don't use the TTS service.
Can safely say that it is pretty impressive, especially as it was cheap too.
My CoPilot 8 trial has just ended and was considering purchasing the full version... (£26.99 for UK/Ireland & £59.99 for Europe)
im using tomtom too. works well and connects to satellite pretty fast bout 20-30seconds.
after a long search I decided to use IGO8, I'm really surprised about this navigation software, love it!

I have tried TOMTOM, IGO8, TELENAV, DESTINATOR, for me and my uses, I stick with and will continue to use GARMINXT, all the extra fancy crap is overkill, it works great. you should try them all and find out which one, in your opinion, is best for you.
Currently have Garminxt - Tomtom -IGo8 - route66 - ndrive each have their own plus and conns garminxt is really good for finding things through google, tomtom is simple and does the job(die hard) igo8 is stunning to look at and runs on the hd2 like silk with no gps lag like the others and the arrow movement is soo smooth, but its pio's are not accurate, was a loyal tomtom user but igo8 has edged it and is the one i will always use first.
I've been looking at this too. CoPilot is very smooth. I must say I am very surprised by it. Saw a demo comparing the performance of both CoPilot and TomTom on YouTube, (nice look at the HD2 too) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHB_8_4cBw4
I have always used tomtom on my Touch HD despite the GPS Lag. Looks like the HD2 has the same problems. What do people think?
yep same lag, but also had lag on my xperia x1, for me on hd2 igo8 rules.
WAZE
its a great app.. turn by turn navi.. plus its FREE!!!! and it has soo many features that other gps navi's do not..
I have always used Garmin Mobile XT and on this phone it is no different. Always works get a lock in 10sec and I am on the move with pinpoint POI placement for speed-camera warning and easy integration of custom POI.
Been using it the last week and the large screen makes this application even better and the colour and contrast is very very good.
Have not used the others but am impressed with Garmin Mobile XT.
Hi
I just install the igo navigation on my desire, the program seens to work fine but i have the following problem i can get the aplication running on full screen , how i can do that? i can't find any settings on the program for change the resolution.
Regards
Quite simple you can't!
The resolution of the Desire (and the N1, and the droid, etc) isn't supported yet.
I tryed navigon and it works great. you should give it a try.
thx for you fast reply , dit you know when will be suported?
You can try this: download from HERE motonav and install it then rename the igo folder on the sd card to motonav and there you go. full screen igo amigo with a diferent skin.
Wondering if this really works.....
Had motonav installed on my Desire, but because the resolution of the Milestone is different from the Desire, you're missing a few bottom pixels/buttons.
I've already send iGo an e-mail but until now I never received an answer.
I've tried all the different best known navigation software available on Android (Navigon, Motonav, Sygic and now CoPilot) but all have there strength and weaknesses. I really don't have a favorit.
On WM my favorite was iGo or Navigon. Actually I thought I preferred Navigon but it didn't run smooth enough on my Xperia so I sticked with iGo.
But it looks like they somehow leave features out of the navigation on Android.
On android navigon looks great, but it gives an error when navigating to a different country then the one you live in (if someone has an solution please let me know), and I'm missing some information on the screen like how much time and distance left till you reach the destination.
CoPilot looks more for children... Big colorfull icons which sometimes interfere with the interface (eg the speedlimit indicator).
Motonav works great, but couldn't get the speedcameras to work, and it also looks a bit depressive with the purple/brown/grey colors. Also important information was missing, you had to press on the screen first to see that information. Not really safe doing this when you're driving your car.
Sygic sometimes calculates really strange routes. And the newest version 10 didn't work smooth on my desire. During driving it wasn't smooth at all. Even though I had turned of all the online services.... Maybe I had the wrong version. Don't really know.
After all I now stick with CoPilot because it has the most options I want, runs smooth, but for me it far from ideal.
The smoothest runs Navigon.
The best would be a combination between Navigon and iGo/Motonav...
But to come back on topic, if you've tried the solution of R3dD3vil please let me know
Owww I see the version of R3dD3vil is a special 480x800 version..... Hmm that's solves a bit of the problems
@Bart1981,
Do you have the 30 day trial avigo? Because one of the limits is navigation in 1 country only.
Let's say it this way, I had a modified version of the Navigon trial
But that would explain the thing
btw the file posted bij R3dD3vil works. But it's not flawless....
Sometimes some text and numbers are interfering with eachother. And the menueffect are not that fluently as they are in the original motonav file. But it works
I saw this was version 2, so properbly there will come some other finetuned versions....
any news on igo / motonav version that would work flawlessly?
Regards,s
yes, the motonav link from top is working 100%. i have it on my desire, and works flawless! i'm in argentina, and without it i think i have to drive off roads, in the air!!! this is the link
are speedcams working with MotoNav?
Yes , working fine here.
yep, for me too.
have you put them into content/speedcam?
yep,overthere
works great here
wow, that simple!!! Just took my maps,POI etc from another nav I have for my WM phone and it works!

iGO on Desire
Hi, I need some help. I installed iGO with skin from MotoNav. but I have a problem with speedcam , not to show my nothing. What files should exist in sdcard/motonav/content/speedcam ? I'm interested in the following countries Norway, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania. I have these files in the folder speedcam:
speedcam.spdb,
SpeedcamUpdates.spud
SpeedCam_EU__14-03-2010_
Is there any application or software that automatically turn on the GPS? I mean I do not have every time before opening the navigation application, first enable the GPS on.

From what I understand you can leave the GPS on at all times. Android actually powers it on only if needed, so it shouldn't be on whe you are not using the navigation software. You can check this easily since the GPS icon at the top only shows when you open the navigation software.

Can you put at least a picture from your device when showing you at least a speed camera? And I mean not the speed limit signs on the device.
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

Thanks
I'll try them to find which one is more suitable for me ( especially the need of Indonesia's map )
thanks again guys

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.
Hello..
I need help.. and maybe you can help me..
I have now Android Froyo 4.6 running now on my HTC HD2
is there a navigation program that i can install on my phone for the android.. i dont want to use internet to work with the navi.. but i want only use the app with GPS..
is there anybody who know that?
1 that I can highly recommend is Sygic Aura.
It is dirt cheap for a offline GPS system and there are 25% discount vouchers in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859223&page=8
I use Novigon 2.6.1 on my HD2 with Android Froyo 4.4.
PM me if you need link.
I am using Igo8(Motonav).
I am using Igo Myway, i like this droid version much lighter on the graphics than WinMo IGo 8
I think myway is not for sale yet to individuals, try googling for:
iGOMyWay_8.4.2.139242
thanks to you all
i have found a navi and it works very good..
THREAD CAN BE CLOSED
What Nav system did you eventually use.
HTC HD2 navigation
I am using by now for a period of over a year Osmand and Osmand+.
Battery life on my HTC HD2 is quite good, better when using CoPilot.
Have been recently looking for other alternatives than Osmand+ ...
any ideas?
I used:
NDRIVE
NAVIGON
with no problems
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.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
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?
