Which navigation software is best for our MDA VARIO II ?
Tom Tom
Route 66?
Which versions ?
Can I download them somewhere ==> one that works...
I need an BENELUX version or even better: Europe
tomtom is the best - this site does not condone piracy / warez
so buy it. - it's worth it.
iGo plus?
what about iGo?
anyone using it on the hermes?
running smoothly?
curious,krz
Have igo miomap and works fine... Have had no problems with it.Tomtom 6 for preference though.... Cheers...
I am using IGO8 canada/usa and it is awesome! i love the 3d view and dem layers..very smooth.
i have used tomtom and it "was" good until igo8

If you want to go the free route:
Smart2Go (routeplanning, location aware, allows for offline work, but does not provide instructions)
Google Maps (similar to Smart2Go regarding functionality, but no offline option)
Nav4all (provides spoken instructions, no offline option)
Similar projects worth checking out are AmazeGPS (beta for wm had been released, haven't tried it yet) and navigami.

Does Igo8 run smooth?
I used the old igo before but it stutters....when I get a phone call, the whole phone locks up.
With TomTom, I can still get phone calls no problem.
I used odessey 4.0, it was good! Maps maybe outdated a bit, but it worked fine where I am.
Tom Tom 6 works fine
Garmin Mobile XT works, but I only can install the Benelux
I love Garmin, so: does anyone has a suggestion how I can get all Europe on it?
Simple Answer
the one and only answer to the question for the best navigation software:
it's iGo 2008, with 3d navigation, super detailed buildings and an amazingly fast screen.
Maps are dated April 2008...
I tried IGO 2008.
Contrary to what other are saying...IGO 2008 is really not suitable for Hermes if you're planning to use the phone features of your phone.
IGO 2008, although runs properly by itself in hermes, if you get a call or whatever while running GPS, your device slows to a crawl. The software uses too much ram imo.
I prefer TomTom because it has a small footprint and does the job right without harming other features of the phone.
I do like the IGO 2008 graphics alot, it is by far the best. But not worth the trouble if you want to get calls or make calls while gps is running.

Anyone have experience with Google Navigator 4.0 with 3D street view on windows mobile?

Has anybody have solution for GPS on realvga.
I know that Tomtom is working on realvga. iGo doesn't work on realvga. Have anybody try another GPS software that work with realvga?
CoPilot works fine
TeleNav works fine in 128dpi except it doesn't overwrite a small section at the bottom of the screen, where the previous window shows through. This is just a minor display artifact and everything works well.
iGuidance, which I used to use, has issues in the setup menus as 128dpi. I found many things to be drawn indirectly, but once you have your destination entered, the maps look fine and are usable. However, I found the interface issues very distracting and I gave it up at least for now.
While TeleNav isn't quite as responsive to updating your position and requires a live data connection, I found it had better search abilities and better voice announcements. Plus it seems to keep improving. So I'm going with TeleNav for now.
Hi
I've tried the following and they all work nicely - cannot really decide although they all have something that make them unique and nice
TomTom 6.x 8/10 Looks exactly like TomTom Navigator
Garmin Mobile XT 8/10 Wish I hadn't bought that Nuvi ...
Google Maps 8/10 Free and Aerial Photos
Navigon 8/10 Best looking interface
currently I havent made up my mind yet they all are very good
Regards

CoPilot 7 is better than any of them
Google Maps isn't full route planner / guidance - I use it quite a lot but not in the car - very good though.

$200 is pretty high! Here are a few questions:
1. It comes on a microSD. Can files just be transferred to a miniSD that has larger capacity? Otherwise, this eats up a slot.
2. Does the "download central" include updated maps? Or what is the policy on getting updates? I know with iGuidance I had to repay each year for new maps, which was kinda irritating.
Thanks!
In the UK you can just by it with UK maps so it's cheaper. I believe in the US you can only buy it with the whole of the US maps which is why it is more expensive (it is if you buy the whole of Europe maps)
If you want updated maps I believe you have to pay for them but how often do you need to update them?

I have Garmin Mobile XT installed that I have used with the Garmin GPS10 bluetooth receiver.
Is there a way to make Mobile XT use the internal GPS? When I start it, it scans bluetooth for gps device. I don't see any other options.
Garmin Beta
I think if you search Garmin's website there is a beta version which uses internal gps in the new test rom
Even if that is true the maps are still locked to your GPS10's serial number. You will need to use GPSGate to emulate the Garmin GPS protocol and cloak your GPS10's serial number. I am looking for a version of Mobile XT which will use the internal GPS as well. I'd love to ditch my GPS10 and go all internal. I like Mobile XT a lot and since I paid for Garmin maps I want to use them!
I am using Garmin with the internal GPS, I cant really point you in the right direction because this sort of "talk" is prohibited here but it can be done quite easily.
Post on getting Garmin XT to work with the Internal GPS is in my FAQ:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363431
OK ummm... WOW!!!
All I can say is that Garmin Mobile XT is awesome! After a little hacking (not discussing here...Vancelot, PM me if you want info) I got the software unlocked to allow non-garmin GPS receivers. This software works with the intermediary driver so no launcher is necessary. It works like a charm! Now I don't feel so bad for buying the new maps nor the GPS10 receiver... even though I don't need it
I spotted a copy of Garmin 2009 recently and downloaded it. By chance can anyone here tell me their experiences with TomTom compared to Garmin?
I currently have TomTom6 on my vz6800 but was curious about this application now?
Thx

I started out with TomTom...very good app. A friend of mine had me give Garmin XT a try...another good app. I'm starting to prefer Garmin though. It "was" easier to use with the intermidiate driver when I had dcd 3.1.6 installed...since 3.56 and 3.2.0 all have gone to hell...works very sporadically.
The biggest difference to me is with Garmin I can select just a few states about 4 or 5 and load them on my storage card (115 megs) as opposed to TomTom with no way to select the states you want (that I know of) to my storage card (just about 1 gig worth).

Good info proxcee...yeah I am still on 3.16 I may pause here for a moment...
Between the two apps, how did the maps look or the map rendering as it navigated along? ...about the same. I like on the car version how it shows buildings but this might not be an option for the mobile version...???
One thing I was looking for that the TomTom does not do was to see if Garmin Mobile app announce street names for the next turn...???

You won't find that on mobile GPS software (as far as I know). I haven't tested TomTom7 yet, but neither TomTom6 or Garmin Mobile XT supports text to speech street names.

This is a nice feather but before I jump ship how does it compare to tt6? Or Garmin is someone has compared,
I don't own Iguidance but I've used it on a friend's device, so my comments here are someone limited. I find the interface of TT6 and Iguidance to be equally good (neither struck me as having any particular weaknesses of note). The displays are good and menu navigation is intuitive and easy.
TomTom offers "plus" services like weather and traffice....Iguidance does not appear to.
Iguidance may require some tweaking with GPSGate to get it to work properly on the Mogul. This guide at ppcgeeks gives some insight:

There are tons of comparisons on the Internet. A quick glance this morning showed that it's a mixed bag as to what people prefer. I hope this is helpful.

i had both of these on my phone at the same time to compare, i kept the tomtom and kiboshed the garmin. with the tomtom the maps just worked, while with garmin i had to select maps by small sections from my desktop to have them work. I also prefered the tomtom menu system and found the poi's to be superior.
Garmin Mobile XT for WM6.1 pro
Hi,
I am new to Garmin, just installed Garmin Mobile XT v5.00.10w(cracked) in my HTC Touch 3G, i found that it tooks too long time for "Awaiting better GPS Accuracy" while i am driving on the road where the weather is actually good(clear sky). Sometimes can be 20-30mins long for "start navigation".
Can anybody advise me what's problem with my Garmin? Is this a setting problem? Or it doesn't cracked properly? It was cracked by the HTC shop's promoter where i bought it.
Besides, i tried to copy additional vehicles into "vehicles" folder, and when i launch Garmin, it becomes trial version, but it disappear after i deleted the newly copied vehicle files from the vehicles' folder.
Could you please kindly advise me?
Thank you in advance for your advise..

I've heard you can't use the new TomTom 7 on this device because it has no touchscreen.
Has anyone experience with navigation software on the Rose?
The servicedesk of Tomtom couldn't answer my question because they weren't familiar with this device yet.
I'm using Copilot Live 7, works like a charm.
Well, technically you can use TomTom 7. You just have to use FakeCursor (or similar utility) to emulate screen taps. I have tried it and it works, but is not really usable.
So far I have also tried:
Garmin XT Mobile - does work, but I don't like the interface
Sygic McGuider - does work and I like it, use it and recommend it
TomTom 5.xx - does work, but has only older maps available
I tried TomTom 7 and it won't work because you need to be able to tap the screen. I didn't even know you can use a programme that emulates screen taps.
I'm off to bed!
Do not lose your time and use Sygic McGuider. It is best I can recommend for the smartphone.

Just checked it out but not done anything yet as waiting for my Rose to be delivered but it doesn't mention anything about cost. So then, is this a free GPS?
I believe it isn't. This site (in Slovak) http://www.presne.sk/sygic-mcguider-p405 lists it for 66€.
I use Garmin Mobile XT and it works great for me. They have a non-touchscreen version. Here are some screen shots. Alternatively, you could use google maps
could you tell us some more details for garmin mobile xt?
is it fast in menu?
is the root recalculation fast enough?
input text with qwerty and phonepad?
works in landscape when the qwerty is open?
Garmin is nice software and maps for my country are ok, but it's "too much" for my old and tired tornado. I think qualcom @520Mhz must be ok with this...

I have used Garmin Mobile XT firstly on a Win2003SE device, then WM5 , WM6 Pro and now WM6.1 standard and it has worked fine for all my devices. I don't really have any complain. It routes fine without any problems.
i tried tomtom 5 but it doesent work (crashes at start)
I've tried tomtom 5, doesent crach to me but... doesent see the internal gps
It is a known problem; not finding the internal gps. But if I remember correctly there's a fix for it.
Tomtom V6 not working?
Garmin Mobile XT?
Which Garmin Mobile XTversion are you using?
I installed the one I had and I can't get it out of the impression that there is some Bluetooth GPS dongle to find?

I can confirm this, Mcguider is the best navigation software i have used thus far.
Its more accurate and faster than tomtom.
Its not free but tomtom is not as well.
if you buy it its €80,- otherwise you can always look for it in your favorite download channels (can not advertise those on these forums)
As I saw Sygic McGuider 2009 comes preinstalled on a 4GB microSDHC card (with 2GB free for other use :-( ). Can I copy the SW onto my 8GB card and it still works?
Most probably yes.
Hi Fellow XDA'ers!
I have a touch dual (with WM6.5).
I like the look of the Hero but have a few reservations.
Firstly, I read posts that it struggles to sync with Outlook!!?? - can this be sorted? - ActivSync (by BTooth) is very handy and does the job well.
Secondly, I like having the apps such as IGO8 or TOMTOM to hand on my phone, should I need it.
Can I install these apps (or similar) on the Hero?....In other words - can WM apps work on Android?
thanks

I think syncing with Outlook over Bluetooth is out of the question. It can sync Contacts and Calendar (only those two) over the USB cable with the use of the 'HTC Sync' software. That software is not available _yet_ on the HTC site, but apparently it IS included on the memorycard included with the Orange bundle that is now shipping.

Those two applications are not (yet?) available for Android. There are a few other navigation solutions available, but I'm under the impression they are not the level of iGO or TomTom. Also, I have no idea on which countries they support or what price they are available at.

No. There are a whole bunch of Android apps, but software made for Windows Mobile will simply not work (and never will) on Android. They will have to make a special Android version for it, and for utilities and tweaks that is simply not easily done.

ALKs CoPilot Live 8 is available on the market and is quite competitively priced at £22.60 for a one region version (e.g. UK maps).
I've not played with it extensively, as I bought it as a backup for my regular Garmin satnav unit, but it is definitely much slicker than some of the other alternatives for Android that I've tried (e.g. AndNav).

Dave

Seems to be a good TomTom alternative! Thanks for the Tip! And they even have 'whole of western europe' or only 'benelux'. That makes it much more affordable if you never leave The Netherlands for example .
Since I'm an Android newbie myself (well, not even an Android newbie, still waiting for my Hero): On the CoPilot site, on 'where to buy' to say to go to the Android market. But they also have three picture, some sort of square barcode. I've seen those more around Android oriented pages. How do they work?
It's a QR code (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_Code) which is essentially a 2-dimensional barcode that can hold a variety of data. In this case, it is holding a URL.
If you download a barcode reader from the market (e.g. Barcode Scanner by ZXing team, which is the one I use) you can use the phones camera to "read" the barcode and it will then allow you to jump to the URL in the browser.

Winmo apps on Android
You never know what could happen guys!
I currently dual boot windows 7 ultimate and Linux Ubuntu.
And as all linux users are aware, there is a nice little app called wine, Wine allows us to run and use many windows apps in a Linux enviroment...
Cant be that much different with Android (linux) and windows mobile.. can it?
Would be a fantastic step and i think possibly the final push for many winmo users!
Im still struggling to choose my self....From HD to Hero?? mmmm
There are few things you need to know about the young android:
1. You cannot save apps to memory card unless rooted.
2. You cannot receive files via bluetooth unless rooted.
overall, Android is a lot better than Winmob
Sorry if this is a stupid question :-(
I run a number of Java applets under WINMO via an applet manager (ESmertec for example). Will these run on Android?
CoPilot is working brilliantly on my Magic and I'll be putting it on my Hero when I get it at weekend.
Here's a great thing - any apps that I've purchased from the Android Market are tied to my google checkout account - When I sign in on my Hero and go to market, those apps will show as purchased and downloadable for me. Also my calendar and contacts will automatically sync to my Hero.
As far as WM apps are concerned, I've used both WM6 and android devices - Not missing anything on my Magic that I had on WM now that Turn By Turn Nav is there. Some apps are already ported over - Docs To go, and recently Touchpal Keyboards.
The ability to search for, find, pay for (if needed) and download software on the fly is just priceless. The fact that most apps are free or very cheap is even better. I'd not go back to WinMo now for anything...
However, you're just gonna have to get one in your hand and see for yourself - its all personal preference amongst the top handsets really.
well my upgrade is being delivered in the morning! yey! HTC Hero on orange..
Wonder if tomtom will port any time soon? should be an easy job considering the tom tom units are linux driven!

I've been a TomTom user (on my HTC Trinity and HTC Touch Pro) for almost 3 years now. My HTC Hero will be arriving on Monday morning and I'm actually pretty excited about the change I'll be making to CoPilot.
Not that there's anything wrong with TomTom, but the newer version of CoPilot looks very cool, and it might be nice to try something different.

I have heard a lot of people complaining about the version of CoPilot crashing on the Hero, not sure why this is. TomTom are releasing an iPhone version so who knows, might make its way over to Android in about 3 years?
For me, Copilot certainly crashed. It was not a patch on the stability of Garmin XT. The application felt unfinished with a lot of times when not a full crash, lack of keyboard reponse. Tbh, this failure was the straw that broke the Hero's back
I've not had a single problem with copilot on my magic. Fully tested with postcodes etc and long journeys. Its VERY cheap compared to most satnavs, can be used without any data assistance at all, and very quick to reroute etc.
I have heard about some probs but they have mostly seemed to be related to people trying to hack it or get the maps running without paying, and I know that copilot has added a few layers of security since I bought mine for magic - initially it just installed and needed your google checkout number.
Then it needed that, and you then got a license code and device ID thingy.
I had an update early on from version .303 to .327 which made mine stop loading - One email to support, told me to uninstall ALL, including the maps folder, and it was back working perfectly... I personally think the voices of folks having probs trying to get it running without paying are clouding the issue a bit - I've only heard from one (cbailey) who I know paid, but still got crashes.

You're in the UK right? I have been looking into copilot as a replacement for my old TomTom once I get my Hero. And although copilot said on their website they have european versions, if I browse the store (though Cyrket for example) I only see their USA map pack / application. Is this location / localization dependant somehow? Why can't I see the european maps in the market?

I think we got a big android fan here
In the Market, you get the option for a One Region map - Uk and Ireland comes under that - for £25.99 (Market shows 22 something but then checkout adds VAT for UK)
I think these options are only seen/available on market for android phones. I think they are not offered as products for other platforms, and you only get details once you have bought CoPilot 8 for android.
I personally downloaded CoPilot Central and got my maps via PC through that. You get a Membership name and password when you checkout at google Checkout - I was sent an email with details of that. The actual copilot programe for android downloads to your fone OTA like other apps, but the map fetcher is on PC. I think you CAN get the maps OTA to your fone, but I thougyht that seemed silly and would take ages and be heavy on your data allowance etc.
CoPilot central is free I think - You can get it here

You can get them OTA direct onto the phone via cellular data, but the program advises you do it over WiFi.

No problems at all with CoPilot APART from TouchFlo seems to lock up when I exit. Not sure if anyone else has this problem.
Other than that, it has no lag what-so-ever, which I used to always have with TomTom. Big thumbs up for me, even more so when I sort out the locking issue when exit, but thats no biggie.
Anybody any idea what is a good Navi Software for the 'vodafone' s740?
I've searched all the web and tried several things like:
- sygic mobile 10 (didn't work, can't go further than select language after install)
- TomTom7 (tried install 7.450 and then overwrite with 7.915 navigator.exe, didn't work, can't even install these cabs from storage card, get message: "problem with umarshaller.exe")
I reckon Sygic and TomTom are the nicest navi.sw. out there, but maybe I am looking in the wrong direction.
PLease, anybody advice?
Or step by step install instructions from some version of Sygic or TT to make that version work?
Hy!
Sygic v10 doesn´t work currently.....i´m using Sygic v9 with actuall Maps and it works perfect for me so no need to upgrade to v10......Maps are at the moment the same.....
You can also try Igo8....great Navi-Soft...3D-Maps....good grafik....BUT WORKS ONLY WITH "Fake Cursor".....because its for Touchscreen Devices.....
Ps.:I think from TomTom only the "Old" v6 works......
I use tomtom 7.910 on S740 and it works very well, i dun't think it was really made having non-touch screens in mind, but, everything works and i'm happy with it. I tried updated versions i haven't been able to use them tho, but, no need anyway ^^
Only thing that bugs me a bit is that some newer versions of maps i can't get them to work, i think they're made for tomtom 8+, dunno if they make new maps to work with the 7 versions of tomtom... but haven't really searched that much, the ones i have are pretty much accurate so far.
for me is
#1 Sygic *
#2 Garmin

Im using Garmin mobile XT V5.00.20 with latest maps without problems.
i'm using TomTom 7.917 and it works very very well, fluid and detailed...
i have the last map available for my nation (italy), updated on december 2009.
the program is a bit heavy (at least 10mb of ram) and cpu always over 50%...
it's easy to install, u need an sd at least 2gb to put in all europe map or a smaller sd for some nations (italy's map is 180mb).

I used to have Garmin Mobile XT. It worked sometimes. Now I have Sygic Mobile Maps 2009(v7.71) with v7.80 maps of Poland. There is one downside: maps from Garmin had the contours and addresses of all buildings. It was very useful as long as Garmin Mobile was communicating with GPS module. Sygic maps have only addresses, no building contours. That's bad, when you have poor eyesight...
