Navigon GPS software on the titan - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

Is there any way to rip the navigon software from the standard navigon GPS's to put on the titan?
Their "reality view (this is a link)" looks super cool and I'd love to see that on my phone. Their base OS is "Microsoft Windows CE 5.0" which is the core OS of Windows Mobile 6.
They sell navigation software, but the reality view feature is not included.
Here is a screenshot of the reality view:

If it isn't run on Windows mobile, then good luck with that. But most software can be purchased for Windows Mobile such as Garmin, Tomtom, etc.

Windows mobile is built on a windows CE core.

wow, it's $162.00 just for the North America map pack. Their base maps are UK based.

Their PDA software that they sell doesnt have their "reality view" feature. That's why I was looking for a rip of the GPS devices themselves.
If I could buy it, I would.

I have never owned a GPS device other than my car which uses Navteq and my Mogul, which I have purchased GARMIN XT and the North American maps which both show an "animated map".
Are you talking about the "photo" overlay map that you get with Google or a more enhanced "animated" one.
That would be nice if it is more enhanced.

the words "reality view" in the original post link to exactly what I am talking about.

Wow, that is very cool.
Everyone who is interested in GPS should check out the link in the first post.

navigons reality view is a developement for there gps units there maybe a way to port that interface im sure but me not being a coder cant be 100% on that although i do know navigons software is just a tore down version of windows ce to just run the navigon have seen them with windows 98 on them lmao

The new, and nice GUI kitchen that now supports the titan phone from http://www.ppckitchen.org has the OEM package for this GPS Application as an option, check it out!

It is not in the kitchen. Navizon and Navigon are not the same thing.
Let me be as clear as I can: There is no released software that has this feature. Navigon sells software for the PPC, but it doesnt have this feature.
That is why in my initial post I asked if there was a way to get it off of the GPS itself.

Garmin XT
I want to use Garmin XT program for my mogul. Getting a 8 gig card for it. The folks at Garmin told me you cannot transfer the files from their 2 gig card to the 8 gig card. I thought I've read posts here and at other sites that you can. So, can you transfer the 2 gig Garmin card info to an 8 gig card? If so how? Thanks,
Alan

As you may have noticed from the subject, this thread is about Navigon GPS software. Please only post items that are relevant to "Navigon GPS software on the titan".
Thank you.

bobjase, I know what you are talking about. I have the Navigon Mobile version, works well on my Titan. You want the option call "reality view" that make it seem that when you look at your gps device it's like you're looking thought you car windshield, like in your photo. I don't know anyone that has the device on your photo that I can try to rip out the option "reality view". Navigon will come out with it I hope.

They loaded it on so,,,,

I have never seen that unit but I am sure it has a port that can be used or JTAG it.

It can not be done, unless you can reverse engineer the software on the Mobile platform and on the actual GPS platform. This will required significant code reprogramming. You can not simply "Rip" something like that and plug it into a PPC and make it work (assuming that Ripping from the GPS unit is actually possible).

VZW Touch Pro - 128 RAM???!!!???

The Touch Pro is now available on Verizon's site (LINK)... does anyone know if the RAM is a typo?
Memory: 512MB Flash/128MB RAM
According to the HTC site its 192MB and the word is it breaks down to 64MB of RAM that is dedicated to either O/S or graphics and 128MB for other programs...
Confirmation to follow when mine arrives tomorrow!
Verizon neutered both the Touch Diamond (lowered internal storage and added microSD slot, lowered CPU speed) and the Touch Pro (lowered memory and maybe more).
bummer deal...sounds like the Titan all over again. That's why I'm getting away from it.
They also removed the FM Radio and accelerometer.
Man do I HATE Verizon, and love being with AT&T.
Just to be clear on a few things.....
The Touch Pro from Verizon has all of the following...
192MB RAM
528MHz CPU
Accelerometer
FM Radio (although not enabled)
Also, the Diamond hasn't even been officially released so no one really knows whether it has the 4GB internal memory or not.
Personally I'd be happy if it doesn't, considering you can get a 16GB MicroSDHC card for like $30
And following the specs of the Touch Pro, i doubt the CPU is any slower either.
Alrighty, now that all the blind hate is over with, we can move on...
On an interesting note, if you use the compare function on the site, it shows 192 RAM... maybe there is hope afterall!

the 128 listed is the available memory after the OS and software take up the first 64 megs

According to this site, you are not correct.
It was also believed that Sprint's Touch Pro had the FM Radio present but disabled, but it was quickly discovered that the hardware is physically removed from the device.
A phone company would not list the phone with 128MB RAM unless that is all it has. AT&T lists the Fuze's memory at 192MB RAM.

On the primary page of the Touch Pro they are advertising the amount of ram available after the OS and programs use the dedicated 64MB chip
And while we're at it, the Fuze has 256MB of RAM, just an FYI
if yall go to the HTC web site it tells you what the device has and whats avaiable to the user.
Wondering if anyone will write a good custom rom for this one - like DCD or N2C

n2c already has, nuerom.com and dcd is expecting his tp anytime now last I heard
I'm surprised no one has said anything about the diff CPU.
I have a VZW Touch Pro in hand...
CPU is a Qualcomm 7500A (528MHZ)
Ram size is 192MB (OS takes 78.71MB)
Flash size 512MB
OS memory 170.28MB
Storage 341.72MB
Very cool. Thanks for the confirmation!

They gave it to me fore $75.00. I have a Vouge that I just got free on Friday. I saw this on Monday and had them O/N me one. I have to send teh vouge back and pay the $75.00 difference. I dont know at thgis point. I have them both for nearly 30 days so to decide. I love my vouge, dont get me wrong but this is something new I have to play with for a while ;c)
BTW: Its got 128 megs ram. Thats it. Not 192. End of discussion. If so then something is horribly amis with my phone as I only boot with about 45 megs free ;c( Very very disapointed!
Screenshot! It has less free memory than my Vouge on boot up? WTF?!?!?!?!
Ok, I honestly dont know how much memory this thing has. But the screenshot is real on a fresh boot with TF3D enabled.
so does the verizon version have the faceted back or the the same flat back as all the other cdma models

Augmented Reality Games / Apps

In this thread i am going to collect all available applications and games which work with augmented reality, especially on mobile phones.
What is Augmented reality? I will try a little explanation:
Its a method to combine the (live)view of a camera with computergraphics, animations and information.
It normally uses markers, which can be detected by the camerasoftware and then used to project any graphical object on it.
The markers can be moved and the projected object will follow it.
To get a better idea, have a look at these videos:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lfp8id6bpDU&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVlBFNg823M
The technology itself is not new, its already known and used since a few years. But there exist only very few usable appplications or games with it.
So here is a list with applications
AR Zoo:
http://www.imagination.at/downloads/Handheld_AR/AR_Zoo/index.php
It works on my htc touch hd.
It is a bit slow but its cool to see. It even works with my pc screen as marker

Not really interesting, just a walking Wiking.
Wikitude
Very cool App!
This only runs on Android at the moment, but maybe someone can develop it for winmo

Hey that's real cool, didn't know people made these games for the ppc . Would be nice to be able to play The Journeyman Project on my ppc.
Very nice, works on the nike too.
whow!!! i would like to try Invisible Train but i cannot find the download link.....any help?
not sure about the train one, but the zoo game can be downloaded here
http://www.imagination.at/downloads/Handheld_AR/AR_Zoo/index.php
Amazing!
This looks great!
I'll see if it works with the Polaris (Touch Cruise)!
This works on my Qtek 8310 (as it is the phone used in their samples) and on the tytn2 (but the video lags a lot)
This is really neat stuff. The Zoo demo worked on my HTC Touch.
I found another demo on the same site: http://www.imagination.at/downloads/Handheld_AR/HCCB/
yes but the second demo is not that spectacular, just a walking viking.
i have seeen that augmented reality has a very interesting and wide spectrum of possible applications. one of them ( i know, only for iphone, but maybe someone can develop it on winmo) is wikitude http://www.mobilizy.com/wikitude.php
And a very cool game for my linux machine i have to try is levelhead
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ks1u0A8xdU
This freaky guy has a lot of similar interesting things on his website (this may be interesting for some developers?)
http://www.csc.kth.se/~alx/
i will tell you if i found more interesting things for our mobiles. maybe others find something too?
Wow, thanks for bringing this to our attention. That's one of the coolest things I've seen in a while!
Yeah.. now I feel so outdated.. Never knew these kind of stuff existed.
I thought this was only in some SF writer's mind
I listened to a short story series recently from Audible called "Metatropolis" and one of the stories involved the use of augmented reality goggles to superimpose objects onto the landscape, constructing an alternative society for those who could "see". I thought the idea was cool, but I never realized how close we are.
and it will all become funnier with these
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EyeTap
any news? has someone found something?
it would be really cool if someone ports the wikitude or an similar application to our windows mobile devices!!! anyone out there? i am willing to spend 5$ for the start
Zoo don't work on my HD...
cant make it run on my toshiba g900...

Windows CE 6.0 For Dell Streak 5

I got a thought!
At this moment I am trying to build Windows CE 6.0 for Raspberry Pi board.
While I was doing that I though it would be great to have CE on my Dell Streak 5.
I just want people's opinion about this!
So what do YOU think of having Windows Ce 6 on the Streak with all the applications that are available for windows?
Help from some C programmers would be nice since drivers are written in C.

It'd be an interesting novelty, but how much effort do you think you can put into it?
I dont mean to sound negative, but the real facts are thus:
The bootloader's apparently somewhat fragile
The drivers are another major concern
And just as importantly, are you willing to do it even though it would mostly be a novelty? While there might be interesting uses for it if it was ever fully completed, it will only be a novelty if it's not stable enough for real use
The biggest hurdle would be that the s5 drivers, I dont know offhand what the upstream license is, but remember that the streak kernel is linux and GPL.
Regardless you'd still have to write your own drivers from scratch, there's a couple uncommon chips that dont have any real drivers outside the official ones, the same reason that we dont have CyanogenMod.
I would definitely be interested in it myself and wish you well, but this is a huge undertaking.
Does the pi already have pre-made drivers/source code ready? It's a whole different beast to just compile it then to have to make your own drivers.

I have talked to Eben in person and he said if some one takes that task then he will provide the details for hardware and specs.
you are right Windows CE it is a big project to take. Drivers are big problem plus the license for WINCE.
Good luck.
Off the top of my head, I know of at least four successful hobbyist ports of Windows CE to "new" hardware.
They are:
1. Otaku's (unreleased) CE 4.2/5.0 BSP for the Gizmondo handheld
(This already shipped with CE 4.2)
2. Coutilla's port of Windows CE 5.0/WM6 to the HTC Magician.
(This shipped with the CE 4.2 based Pocket PC 2003 SE)
3. A barely tested port of CE 4.x to the GP32x game console based on a cloned sample BSP. (These shipped with some varient of embedded linux originally)
See, it isn't impossible. I wish you luck but it is a pretty difficult undertaking. I personally wish for more projects like there as there are so few. I'll encourage anyone who thinks they can pull it off CE needs some of the same luck linux gets as it has the potential to add the same sort of capabilities linux usually does and I'm all for choice.
I imagine part of the reason there are so few success stories is not just limited interest but also idealogy. The people with the skill to do this and write things like low level drivers for new hardware are mainly in the open source/linux community and a good number of them hate Microsoft/Windows CE.
The ports of CE 6.0 to the gumstix boards might also count but I'm not sure how hobbist those are. It's also a dev board to begin with. I'm mostly interested in existing consumer devices that have had it ported even if they were already running an older version of CE.
Another thing you may want to look into is KVM-QEMU on ARM Linux. When it matures enough, maybe virtualizing WinCE in KVM-QEMU will be the easiest route.
Think you should do it.
I'd be keen to give it a try!
I think it would be a great achievement if You pull it off!
Why not windowsphone?
Resolution check
Cpu check
Gpu check
Maybe need a bigger internal microsd

Because it's nearly impossible to write drivers for wp7?
winmo's a rather easy target if you're seriously intending to make a port to a device.

Document editor

Hey all, I'm looking for an app that can edit documents. I want to be able to hand write or sign documents. I deal with contracts daily and sometimes have to meet my clients mobile. Right now I'm using an iPad, but want to make the switch to a tablet. This is the only thing holding me back from the switch. Anyone know of such an app?
TIA!

You can see if "Documents To Go" is available is it is an absolutely wonderful app. You can read Excel, Word, and Powerpoint on this app and edit also with the paid version.

There's a couple here, but I can't verify personally that they work.

Anyway, can you say a little bit more about what you are looking for? Are these Word documents you want to sign? What app are you currently using in the iOS world (so we can look it up and see what it does). If they are Word docs, are you comfortable converting them to PDF?
Also, with regards to writing, most tablets don't do very well unless they have something like a Wacom digitizer or similar tech in them. The iPad series doesn't have this. There are only a couple Android tablets that do (HTC Flyer, Thinkpad tablet) and there is a new Asus MeMo tablet that looks like it might support a stylus.
Now, if you are talking a more full blown "computer" tablet, then you might want to look at the Samsung Series 7 Slate or the Asus EP121 which would both do an excellent job for you but they come with a higher price tag (though not much higher than a 64gb iPad 2) and the battery life is a fraction of most modern day tablets.
Anyway, hope that helps.

Well I'm not sure you can hand write on a word document via PC ipad or android. But I know I can save a word doc to PDF and then edit (hand write) on the PDF. That is currently what I am doing on my iPad. That is what I would like to be able to do on an Android tablet...It works pretty well when I meet with my clients. Guess I'm just getting the bug to switch to Android tablet, but I don't know....hmm...

Windows Phone 7.8 Update Features Revealed, Current WP Users Won’t Be Disappointed

Windows Phone 7.8 Update Features Revealed, Current WP Users Won’t Be Disappointed
When Microsoft finally got around to announcing Windows Phone 8, users of current WP7.x were left a little disappointed by the lack of support for any current devices. As disheartening as the move was for some, it was a necessary way for Microsoft to really move on, since Windows Phone 8 will offer support for more powerful, dual-core devices – something which will undoubtedly be hindered by the support for older hardware.
To try and keep the peace, the Redmond company offered a meet-in-the-middle release in the form of Windows Phone 7.8, which, among other features, will offer the new variably-sized home screen tiles, allowing more to fit within the display.
As has been the cased with most of the software maker’s announcements over the past few months, some key detail were purposely left out with regards to what WP7.8 will bring, but now some of those features are beginning to emerge.
A leaked document has emerged via SmartPhoneFrance offers quite a few juicy details, specifically with regards to some new camera functions. The document is reported to have arrived courtesy of Finnish outfit Nokia, so its contents may not necessarily be true to each and every Windows Phone device, although a large proportion of WP7.x users are rocking one of the company’s popular Lumia devices.
The leak states Windows Phone 7 users will be treated to a greatly-improved camera app featuring Smart Group Shot, action shot, panorama and self-timer functionality. In addition, Wi-Fi tethering will also be a feature of Windows Phone 7.8, which allows one to tether a device’s Internet connection with other devices – particularly handy if you’re constantly on-the-fly. Wi-Fi hot-spots are becoming more and more common in built-up areas, but the ability to have the Web available at all times will be an invaluable tool to the majority of Windows Phone users.
Other features include a function which silences incoming calls, messages and alarms by flipping the device over, but even so, there’re still plenty of disadvantages next to the all-singing, all-dancing Windows Phone 8. Proper multi-tasking, NFC, OTA updates, Internet Explorer 10, and the aforementioned multi-core support, to name a few, and the main event will arrive at the end of October along with the main Windows 8 and the Microsoft Surface slate.

I made everything bold that is already present on my Lumia. There is nothing really new here. Lets wait for an official announcement, I am particularly interested if and how API changes will be managed between 7.8 and 8.
My next phone will be Nokia with Windows Phone 8/7.8 I'll ditch my lg500 android gladly

And this "someone with a brain the size of a pea" ****s you idiot, not everybody knows everything about this!
Well, since you basically present this as 'news' and WP 7.8 features there is a point to be made you have not done your homework on this and to be frank make yourself look a bit silly to say the least by posting it the way you did. Your information is old and incorrect. These are Lumia specific apps and nothing about this is either leaked, related to WP7.8 or news at this time.
While it _might_ be possible these features will become part of WP7.8 for all device and not just Nokia that would seem unlikely at this point. You would also do good to link to your source URL as in the current form your post has a very high 'out of thumb' feeling to it.
Nice post, but these updates already arrived in WP7.5, all except the new homescreen are already here
I agree with 'Detection'. Except the homescreen everythings already here. That is not comforting. Although the homescreen will be quite a makeover. Sometimes i do wonder what advantages will the actual windows 8 user get...
Hahaha....
Still u dont have these features... i have in my wp7.5

What the original poster describes as 'WP7.8 features' have nothing to do with WP7.8 or even Microsoft except for the start screen. They are all additional features/apps offered by Nokia to users of the Lumia series of Windows Phones once they have updated to WP7.5 CR3 (Tango).
Right now we know two things about WP7.8; It will be available some time _after_ the release of Windows Phone 8 and it will offer the WP8 start screen. Other that that we do not know of any additional features or extras.

It is generally expected Microsoft will officially announce WP8 on September 5 in New York during a shared press event with Nokia. It is also expected Nokia in turn will announce two or three Windows Phone 8 devices there and at Nokia World 2012 which is held in Finland September 5-6. The flagship Nokia store is currently being overhauled with huge signs saying as much as to expect something big September 7. If Nokia were to pull off an immediate availability of one or more devices that would be huge.
Personally I would expect a Lumia 800 style model as low-end(800x480) with more memory but no SD card slot, a 900 model midrange(1280x720) also no SD but more memory, a new model featuring PureView technology and possibly a Samsung Note type model. High-end quad core devices are not expected this year.
The 800 and 900 style models might actually have an SD card built in, so not user replaceable.
