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,

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.

HTC magic GPS tomtom

Hi,
I have just ordered my new HTC migic, but not sure if I can run TOMTOM GPS on it, any idea of suggestion?
Thank you in advance.

no u can't. yet.

NDrive
Destinator
Sygic Mobile Maps
Co-Pilot
IGO Amigo
IGO MyWay
MotoNav
Navigon
Papago
these are all GPS navigation applications with offline maps..you can find them everywhere. personally, NDrive is the best one. theyre coming out with version 10 which has lane-assist, signposts, TTS, and a few other useful features.
i think sygic is the closest to TomTom's interface. but when i used it the lane assist didnt work, poi's are terrible, routing isnt the best, and it shows N/A for some streets instead of the name. sometimes it would tell me to go onto roads that dont exist or make me take so many u-turns...lol
WE NEED GARMIN FOR ANDROID

GPS software.

hi all.
i have always used tomtom on my previous windows phones.
im presuming tomtom is not available for android yet.
soooooooooooooooo....
what can we use instead?
google maps is an ok alternative but its not what i like as a long term sat nav..
i tried navigon but well... erm... its worse than google maps..
im currently using copilot proffesional and for use in the car its great...
BUT... the audio stops outputting when the application is minimised or the screen is off..
im looking for a reliable sat nav install that still outputs directions in audio while the screen is off and locked or,,, could make do with it just been locked. as i use it on my motorbike and use headphones with the phone in my pocket..

i'm just about to try sygic mate
will let u know how i get on

I miss tomtom, tried sygic and it is not that user friendly.
Any other better GPS app available so far?

Yes, and there are tons of threads on this topic. Do a search!

I tried them virtually all:
SYGIC around 8MB
COPILOT has the most settings and options, shows speed
NAVIGON
IGO MOTONAV takes most of space, almost 30MB, excellent TOPMAPS
NDRIVE
NAVDROYD cheap 5€ only !

Navigation of the google or NDRIVE.
But what is the best of Navigation.

I am using Navigon Select and it works perfectly with my HTC Desire.
It´s very smooth and easy to handle.

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 I'm new to the forum. And new to android. I'm having trouble installing any sat navigation on my hd2 running gingerbread. I've tried just about all the recommended apps with no luck. Any thing I should know lol

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?

[Q] Offline navigation in Israel

Hi,
I live in Israel and I am looking for a good offline navigation program for my nexus s (except igo which I'd don't know if it legal) I thought about sygic but it doesn't seem to have Israeli maps so I don't wana spend money, the same problem is with copilot and other programs.
If you know of any or know where to get Israeli map for cygic or other app please tell me.

A Google Maps mod?
Edit: Sorry, didn't notice the "offline"
