Does anyone use Sygic on the Desire ??

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 ?

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?

Thanks.
Seems like a good cheap option until Tomtom bring out their version.

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?

According to their website, it's available on App store in the near furture. No word on an Android download as yet though...

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

UK users: Google Maps Navigation working?

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

Nope dont seem like it, i do not have that navigate option, so it looks like it is only the UK they have opened for. I have the newest maps update, and running stock rom on my nexus one.

check this - http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2010/04/world-just-became-smaller-driving.html

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.

Seems like alot of countries got maps navigation, however Denmark is not one of them.
Thank you for the link.

Works for me, running stock Google Nexus One: Great!!!
(And that GM does directions for Bus/train as well as walking - bleeedin' amazing!!)
Cheers!
Lodger
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

It works, IT WORKS!!!!

CoPilot favourites not saving

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
Russ

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

maybe you should try a diffrent rom then sorry i cant help more, but its defo working on mine

Thanks anyway, appreciate the input. Lets hope an OD user stumbles upon this thread

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.

Fascinate gps is oficially useless

Our worst nightmares have come true, the Fascinate GPS is as fcuked as it is on the other variants. Same behavior too - works for a time and then totally fails.

Ya. Thats pretty unfortunate.

Without GPS its useless for me

Well it works, but only for a day or two before you have to restart the phone, I've been having to do that on my Droid. But Im not making excuses, I've read that Samsung is going to have a fix shortly.

so much for hoping the Fascinate would ship with froyo but now i have to wait for this fix? how is it possible that the samsung epic had a fix?
Verizon better not be disabling gps in order for the to sell their agps VZ navigator crap

So it works as long as you reboot the phone from time to time?

Has anyone tried running the fascinate gps with VZ NAvigator?

So can u download google maps and use that? That may or may not be the dealbreaker for me, someone who knows please answer this question for me as i was planning on being the first one in the store on thursday and they are already holding one for me
Edit: i understand gps sucks, i still want to have google maps tho.

It comes with Google maps. Yes GPS doesn't work the best, but its good enough for me. Never not found me and directs me where to go. Yes could be better but its not useless. I use mine daily.

I've read the GPS problem is software based, something the way its calculating something is wrong, idk.. Samsung is saying they are going to fix it through a software patch, if that's the case, wouldn't rooting and installing stock Froyo or another ROM fix this issue?

iv been using the fascinate for a week now and yes the bing being the main search engine is annoying. and the bing maps does find me it usually takes 60sec or less. bt it does not give voice guided directions. i did install google maps and you can search fine and it finds you right away bt when you go to navigate option it will search and never come up just gives you the route turn list no voice guidance. bt playing with the phone if you go into the navigation app that installs with google maps and do your search in that and do the navigate it will do voice turn by turn. im pretty happy this is working. it still annoys me that bing is on the phone in the first place it belongs in the garbage.

I can wait for the GPS fix. Everything else about this phone is so amazing. Especially that GPU.

That's why i'm rooting the first chance I get. I'm going to remove all the bloatware that I can.

I will say, gpu is crazy, i played need for speed shift on the fascinate, OMG i thought my DX played it well, not even close. Case closed, this phone is sickness. Wish it didn't look like iDouche tho

Based on my examination of the system dump, your SUPL settings are still defaulted www.spirent-lcs.com. Change those to supl.google.com, port 7276, secure sockets off, turn AGPS on by changing mode to MS Based, and see how it works. There are further driver level improvements coming. On my Captivate, there is a significant increase in speed of locking and accuracy when going from JF6 to JH2, and that's not the final fix yet.

where would you make those changes at?
UPDATE NEVERMIND
1 - Disable "Use Wireless Networks" - Settings / Location & Security
2 - Dial *#*#1472365#*#*
3 - Under "Application settings" Change "Operation Mode" to MS Based
4 - Under "SUPL/CP Settings" Change the SERVER & PORT to supl.google.com and port 7276 [ Do not use www. in front of supl]
5 - REBOOT
6 - Turn back on the "User Wireless Networks"

i'm not sure if this applies to everyone, but from what i've tested gps works perfectly in google maps. it shows my location to the accuracy of what corner of my work parking lot i'm standing in. however, if i use the test gps app, it shows no signal. very odd.

Sygic maps 10

Hey folks,
I've been trying to install Sygic Mobile 10 with India Maps on it, even after following all the steps properly, I still am not able to get the app running on my phone. Please help me!
Although you can select wildfire on the sygic website( which says that it is very much compatible on wildfire handset) ; whenever i run that application it exits without showing any error.
running 2.2.1 froyo

Mod edit
Dont double post; edit the first post if you want to correct something or be patient till someone who feels capable of replying your question replies..

i had the same problem with some versions, others worked better. but i should point out they were all "flower powered"
i think the one that woked the best for me on stock 2.2.1 was 10.8.16, but even this one crashed when cruising the map. i now have cm7 and 10.8.24, and it works perfect.

i've downloaded sygic 10 8.14 on stock 2.2.1 froyo wildfire. it crashes intermitently while cruising through maps or menu items or state/city listing.
seems like memory handling issues. need find 8.16 version to install along with maps 4.1 ...
does anyone know i can download ?
for CM7 i have to wait till someone come up with HBOOT rooting of 1x solution

the more i use sygic, the more dodgy it seems. the program can be very sensitive about exactly the right version of maps, pois etc. if it doesn't like them, it crashes with no info whatsoever...

If you are using a legal version, mail Sygic.
If you don't, Get out.
