GPS NAVIGATION :: SOFTWARE + MAPS
SOFTWARE + REGION SUPPORT COMPARISON
COMMUNITY FEEDBACK + REVIEW + POLL!
To assist the community, and members of this forum, there is a need to build a "database" of new, current and available software which is compatible with certain devices. Also, there is a MAJOR need to know if maps are or are not available for specifc regions / countries and continents.
Found a mistake? Please let me know so I can correct it!
Enjoy!

# Nav-N-Go IGO v8 (http://www.navngo.com/ / http://www.navngo.com/pages/global/eng/igo_8_description)
Which version works and supports the HTC WildFire?
Version 8 works on the WildFire, however "hacks" are required to successfully install the software.
XDA-Developers User Feedback Summary:
v8 is difficult to install, as you must change the screen resolution (of the WildFire) to something compatible with the software.
Must use installation "hack" to allow installation.
Screen resolution and quality of maps is not very good (on WildFire).
Maps seem to only support Europe! (Eastern and Western Europe)
Negative feedback from users.
# Google Maps (http://www.google.com/mobile/navigation/)
Which version works and supports the HTC WildFire?
Independant of version. All maps are stored on Google's server.
XDA-Developers User Feedback Summary:
Uses high amounts of data so becomes expensive.
You must subscribe for a high bandwidth data plan with your carrier.
Independant of network coverage (whether you receive map updates).
Supports ONLY the U.K. and the U.S.A!
The "Robot Voice" can make it difficult to understand audio prompts and commands.
Audio voice also difficult to hear and understand with background noise (V8 Engine, Traffic, etc.).
Great coverage when in a country with coverage (UK or USA).
Drains your battery faster with the data connection! Battery life is heavily reduced.

Let's try and get a comprehensive list of software and maps that are compatible with the WildFire devices!
Constructive feedback with reasons and version numbers are essential!
Please provide as much detail as possible!
Thank you and have a great day!

Destinator 6 for PocketPC and
Aren't version numbers only usefull if you PIRATE an application?
Also you can just email a dev for support for the wildfire...
Why is it, that almost EVERY topic I read, rather than people being constructive and offering users' their feedback - instead, I see people suggesting that a topic is focused on piracy??
You do realise there are websites like Google, don't you?
Look at the topic! How on earth can this be piracy?
The reason for a topic with accurate and relevant information such as versions:
e.g. v10.1 may support HTC Desire, and not the HTC Wildfire. v10.5 may support both, but without any compatible maps for Canada, Europe and Asia! This topic is aimed at MAPS and GPS software availability.
Some software will work on the WildFire, however will have maps more than 2+ years old!
It's such a pity there are people so 'close-minded' as you... willing to waste their time, submiting responses like that!
Alright kiddo, Here's an application for you CoPilot EU Version.
God knows what version it is, its the latest from the market.
Pretty uptodate for Belgium.
But personally I am still waiting for TomTom to come.
I have a feeling it will be here in a while.
Oh and map version, I have no clue it automatically downloads them from their server onto your SD card.
Sygic GPS works fine. Small installation file, but useful. Maps is small, but all just looks fine. But google map's coverage is larger than Sygic. Google map can find the location that sygic cant find. Just install both of them and u can go anywhere.
i have Copilot Live Pro 8.2.0.218 and navigon 2.6.1, good soft. i used cygic9, but didnt work on my wildfire and ndrive crash at beginning.
google map still the best, almost 99.99% coverage compare to all of the gps.
LOL :B
Thank you for your feedback!
From what I knew about Google Maps:
- it only works in the U.S.A.!
- it requires a data connection,
- the average device has a minimum of 8gb! Maps are less than 500mb, is it not faster and easier to have local maps, rather than require a data connection (especially if in an area of bad coverage),
- covers a minority of the worlds population.
- slow on updates and zoom, and incredibly slow street view (if available),
- and so on....
I may be wrong, but it doesn't offer many features outside of the USA/Canada...
http://www.google.com/mobile/navigation/
Scroll to bottom and select your country....
Google Maps works fine in the UK, but I find the robot voice difficult to hear over the thundering of my Ford diesel engine.
Sygic works well with 2.1 but not so well on 2.2, there are LOTS of crashes
I tried Copilot but did not like the interface, looks like it has been designed by ToysRUS or the Early Learning Centre
Navigation
CoPilot Live 8.2 Works absolutely fine for me, updates speed cameras and is quite a reasonable interface.
Navigon is ok but very quiet on stock roms although it is louder using the wildpuzzle
IGO8 is a bit difficult to install because you must change the screen resolution on wildfire. there is a small installation hack for this but screen is still not very good.
Google Maps is pretty good, but uses a lot of your data plan each time and would be prohibitively expensive outside uk.
Be aware, from my research it appears that copilot is the only one that is ok outside uk, others you have to change maps etc.
Hope this helps
Regards
Wow! Fantastic feedback people!
Thank you for spending the time helping others!
Updating topic with users feedback!
Thanks!
Papago X5
I'm using Papago X5 for Malaysian maps. I used to use Sygic but upon moving on to froyo, sygic kept crashing. Papago's maps seems to be more extensive than that of Sygics and is quite accurate. However, it does not have as many features as Sygic.

You say GPS quite accurate on Froyo. What is your Froyo custom rom do you use on Wildfire? I ask you cause in any custom rom that I use the GPS do not accurate on Google Map App.
Thank you and sorry for my English.
I use GPS a lot in my job and CoPilot 8 has yet to fail me on finding an obscure address in the middle of the dark swedish forests. A few speed limits and recent constructions are not up to date, but apart from that It's very nice.
Google Navigation doesn't work in Sweden, but using the modded version I've tried it out. It crashed a lot and didn't have speed camera info, but it had a somewhat nicer interface and the calculated travel times were more accurate. Searching for a destination is simpler too.
Have been using Sygic both on WM phone and now Android (2.1). Using with WM the program was very stable and good enough to navigate both for private and business purposes.
On Android the screen resolution is less good but acceptable......the big annoyance is that the program looses gps connection during a few seconds up to more than 15 minutes and than comes back......a restart does not help. Suppose people refer to this when they talk about crashing. I use Sygic mobile maps 10, version 8.14
TomTom did not have any crashes on WM so anxiously waiting till it comes available for Android. TomTom seems to be working on an Android version.
I use Sygic mobile maps 10 on Cyanogenmod Stable and works fine.
Sorry for the bump.
But I just contacted Sygic support asking for Wildfire compatibility and they informed me that it is NOT compatible.
How come you guys are stating that it works?
Thanks
I'm evaluating whether I'd go for the Wildfire or the € 200 more expensive Desire. I bought the HTC Touch Cruise 3 years ago for € 540 and was utterly disappointed that I got little value for my money. That's why I need to know whether Sygic runs decently on Wildfire or not... If you could post youtube video, that would be great

I have used both Touch Cruise 1 and 2 with Sygic and got good performance (stability and navigation function) although I liked TomTom better, but that can be ofcourse a matter of personal preference.
On Wildfire I tried Sygic 8.14, 8.16 and 8.06 and all of them had their problems.........ranging from crashing, not able to get GPS started and in case of 8.16 I could not even activate maps.......I am a bit dissapointed in Sygic since on their site there is no reference as to not working with Wildfire. Note I am using stock Froyo Rom.
Searching now for alternative......
Copilot live 8
Yesterday installed Copilot Live 8. Was an easy process. Maps can be downloaded via WiFi.
Due to some reason I could not download the complete Europe map but only do this in pieces. Navigation across boarders therefor not possible.....you even have to close the programm to switch maps.
Apart from that it has not crashed, although I made only 2 rides up till now.
Screen resolution is much better than Sygic. And the buttons are bigger which makes it easier to navigate menu's compared to sygic. Just like TomTom (and Sygic) a lot of settings possible. Even on-line updates possible.
Will report back when I gathered more experience.
navdroyd works fine for me ,
has support for maps all over the world
its a offline gps software ,
has voice guidance
App request,India specific,
With a plethora of mobile network operator,in India, customers are often left with numerous choice, but most operators change tariff n plans too frequently which is hard to follow, and the Web portals of most operators are clumsy,as such there's a clear need for an application that keeps track of all the latest offers in a simplified way,
Hope developers would take a note, p.m

that sound like a need for a proper network "compare and choose" website and a full time job. You could probably make a living out of that. If I would know the language I would be right up for it.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Premium Suite 'Jelly Bean' upgrade features detailed
Gallery
Posted on 7 Dec 2012 at 11:16
Samsung has released details of its Premium Suite upgrade for the Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone, which brings features previously exclusive to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to the smaller high-performance Android handset.
Arriving as part of an upgrade to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, the Galaxy S3 Premium Suite offers upgrades not found in non-Samsung Android phones - the better for the company to fight the popularity of Google's LG-manufactured Nexus 4 device. Features found in the Premium Suite include a system for predicting future actions called Page Buddy - plug in headphones and have the music player start automatically, for example - and a contextual menu which places your most frequently used options closer to the top.
Other upgrades over a stock Android handset include a contextual tagging system which extends the geo-location feature of the Android camera app with the ability to add details on the date, location and even the weather, and a multi-window system that allows two applications to be opened side-by-side - a great use of the Galaxy S3's high-resolution display. Finally, the system gets an upgrade to the in-built browser to make text size easily customisable and page sharing faster, a new Auto Share Shot mode for the camera that allows pictures to be quickly transferred to devices supporting S-Beam or other near-field communication (NFC) capabilities, and a Facebook news ticker for the lock-screen.
These aren't all of the features promised in the Samsung Galaxy S3 Premium Suite, however: Samsung is teasing the details out piece by piece, posting a video detailing what it claims is around half the facilities available as part of the upgrade. Information on the other features, likely to include the smart-rotation and customisable notification features of Samsung's Galaxy Note II, is due to be released some time next week.
As the update rolls out, it will be made available to all Samsung Galaxy S3 owners free of charge, either as an over-the-air update or using Samsung's own KIES updating software.:good:

Microsoft has denied my app from being published yet there are other apps like mine still in the store. I have asked what I did wrong and all I get is a snob response of:
Hello Robert,
The app was removed because it allows users to install apps on their device that bypass security measures on the Windows Phone Store. The app will not be restored, so you may not submit updates. This is our final communication regarding this issue.
Thank you,

Made buttons smaller due to accidental opening while flipping
I am using it in my nokia 920 and it has scrolling issue. means it does not scroll at all. instead it opens the app that i do not want to when trying to scroll. so actually instead of scrolling up or down it pushes the spot where i want to scroll up or down and the app that is in there opens.

I think about security issues for Windows phone is too much.
1. I cannot use any other keyboard directly writing in SMS or anything. I have to copy paste.
2. Call recorder is not supported as well in WP 8 as this is also security issue.
3. What else is security issue I wonder ?
4. No video transfer in Viber. I think at least this should not be security issue.
Everything is security issue in WP 8. Why Microsoft does not think that people will abandon the OS ? there are too much security issues, I did not know about it before buying my Nokia Lumia 920 developer edition. To tell the truth i keep my phone because it is Nokia not because of OS at all but soon most likely my WP will be second device and I will go back to Android and buy HTC again, great UI and fast and now they update more frequantely.
New Version being CERTIFIED NOW
Link to new version is in the code box in post one, but beware it is still being certified still

But they say Windows phone is the future how come you go to Android ? Also if windows phone has security measures, what is that security measures that you do not want to except before you app is published ? I hear about WP lot of things related to security, this is very strange for me. Even phone call recorder is security related, then keyboard app other than Microsoft to type directly in the SMS is not implemented too. And many other that keep developer away somehow. How come ? GDR 3 is coming soon and maybe some changes will be there with their policy too ?

If you look at the swype keyboard for android it actually stores what you type and sends info back to the manufacturer.
A third party KBD on the phone would mean that KBD app could harvest your passwords and send them on to a destination of choice.
Similar issues exist with the call recorder. Who should have access to those recordings? You? Google? Rovio? NSA?
So yes, your app got booted because you don't grok the security implications of what you're trying to do, and in stead of trying to understand why you just blame the OS.
Please, go develop for Android, and I hope you make tons of money in the process. Just quit being a whining little girl about it.

Hey, the source of your app has disappeared. Can you put it back up? I could really use it for my next version of my app for carrier apps.
