Hi everyone, I spent lot of time trying to find a good GPS software that has a world wide coverage or as in my case do I look for some software that has China mainland coverage.
I been trying the (Sygic) Aura (which worked great on Xperia x10 mini but lack the China mainland coverage), CoPilot (also good, but also lack the China map) on my old Symbian phone, did I have Garmin XT mobile with both European map and China mainland. But for my Xperia x10 mini, does it seem impossible to find a working GPS software that has china mainland maps.
Update 14th november
I have now also tried iGO but found no China map.
Tried Navigon also lack China map.
Im now trying Route66 version 10.1.39745.39738 and I found a China map from 2009 808mb, I will try it but the problem with Route 66 is that it needs subscription for the use of walking & driving. And I dont want to pay for a software I dont know is good or not on my Xperia x10 mini.
I found a chinese GPS software called Careland, but it seems to lack English menu.
So my search goes on....
Best regards

What version of Igo?
Am using IGot.
Working well
I looked at iGO but it seems it has no China mainland, only Taiwan and Hong Kong. And that has Sygic Aura also. So I will continue to search.
Best regards

I find Navigon works really well.. not sure if it has China Maps (I have Europe maps installed) but its completely offline uses no Data, and navigation works well even on the mini screen.
Thanks for the tips, and I tried Navigon also. But same problem there...it has no China mainland map Thanks for the tips anyway
Try Navit or Navdroyd. I'm using both!
I know you mean to navigate by car or whatever. But if somebody wants a good offline GPS app for offline maps to hiking, biking, etc. I recommend ORUXMAPS, it's simply the best.
So from where we cant download Navigon and Igo for Europe ??
If you dont need navigation, Mapdroid might be a good choise. Maps can be downloaded - Mapquality and details varies a lot (they are based on OSM), but there are worldwide maps available and they dont need much space since they are compiled as vector graphics.
Wow, now have I lots of GPS software to try I will get back if I find anyone that has world wide coverage and is fully working on Xperia x10 mini.

I have been looking through the forum to determine the best combination of receiver + software as a gps solution. Is there a poll outlining the relative merits / demerits for the xda2s?
From reading threads, i feel alot of people use TT5 with a BT338 receiver. Would this be a reasonable solution?
Kind regards
I have BT-338. It work just fine with my tek 9090.
I use the BT-338 with CoPilot Live 5 and it works great on my SX66.
CoPilot Live 6 is too buggy, IMO.
I have not tried Tom Tom 5. But I could not install iGuidance 2.1.2 (I gave up after 3 attempts), TeleType World Navigator has huge breadth but not much depth in its features, and OnCourse Navigator 5 has user interface design problems, poor rerouting (it gets stuck on one path), and it requires manually starting the bluetooth connection each time.
Note: These recommendations might only apply in the USA.
tt5 & bt 77
Hi, my xda2s worked fine with TT5 and a BT77 bluetooth GPS, although the device configuration arrangement was a bit strange. However, that was on wm2003. I can't get any GSM functionality on wm2005 so can't comment on satnav and gps combinations with wm2005.
You will need to check with Tom Tom what support there is currently for Ireland. On the release of TTN5 there was limited support for the North & NO support for Eire. The latest downloadable maps suggest "major roads" of Eire are now supported but these maps are an additional purchase over & above TTN5.
I think i am the only BA user here with one, but i like my SD-501 (SDIO) GPS. its a great little unit, and gets great reception (not to mention better battery life compared to constant BT use!).
Still deciding on software though..
Hi All
Does anyone have any info on whether/when iGo8 might be available for Android devices?
I currently use iGo on my WM6.1 Touch HD and having tried iGo, TomTom Nav7, and Copilot 7 I can say it beats TT and CP hands down but for the lack of Traffic support in the UK. iGo for Android is mentioned on their website but the links dry up without pointing to any commercial software.
Right now it seems that for comprehensive satnav on Android Copilot have it all their own way.
Try this link for iGo myway. I am using it currently
http://www.igomyway.com/android/en/
Hi
Thanks for the reply - I did hit that page but still no mention of commercially available software. However I did do some digging through the FAQs using Google Translate and found that IGo My way for Android is only currently available on the Samsung Galaxy Spica.
There is no mention of it being put on general release. I think that is exceptionally short sighted of Navngo as they are giving a free run to Copilot and Sygic, but then they also only do Traffic via free TMC too which doesn't help us smartphone users in the UK who can't get TMC on our smartphones and even if we could TMC here is encrypted/subscription only so only used by OEM car manufacturers and TomTom.
i am useing it on my HTC Hero GSM
Yup, using it on the HTC Dream, although it's rather laggy so I'm going to try Navigon for a while.
Um, so can anyone give a source for this app?
it is there
called MotoNav
HI
i have igo my way (8.4.2) on my HTC Desire and i don't have POI's for france!?!? if anyone have them, please give me PM.
thanks!
Hi
Was also looking for iGo8 for my Galaxy i9000 S. Strange I can't find it. What's Sygic like? Any advice on a Android GPS. I find the Gmaps a bit too loosely put together and frustrating at times.
Thanks
i Used iGo on x10 mini pro and i think it's the best. sygic is slow, copilot not so precise
Igo stopped supporting android MotoNav is for devices with clscreens with higher res and my way is for lower. I can upload my way(lastest version) but later.
Sent from my IDEOS S7 Slim using XDA App

Sziasztok! LG G4 re kéne nekem igo8 tud valaki segiteni? Megköszönném!
Hi,
I know there is a thread about Navigation software but it is quite dated now.
As Garmin Mobile XT is discontinued does any know some good current software?
Also can you get 2010 (UK) maps for Garmin Mobile XT.
Thanks
Jason
Hy!
I think Sygic is the best Navi-Soft for Rose.....
Garmin is "Old" and not up to date......
I've got an unused Lumia 650, and my plans were to use it as a navigator on my motorcycle. The display in the sunlight and the GPS are fantastic compared to my (old) Samsung devices.
BUT
the software compartment is very lacking. I've found no good navigator apps, right now the best solution is to use Waze by connecting the Lumia via wifi to my phone for the online data.
I was wondering if there's a way to do the "opposite": making the Lumia "sharing" the GPS via bluetooth (as if it is were an external GPS) to the Android phone.
It may be that i'm not able to search for it, or that there's nothing that makes it possible.
So here i am asking to the experts: is this a doable solution?
As a programmer myself, if there's not a ready app, what should i look to develop it? (provided that it is worthy)?
Suggestions?
Tips?
Thanks
yes, it has
yes, it has
Hello!
so i recently watched an old UK TV show episode of the Gadget Show, in which the presenter Jon Bentley road tested 3 unusual GPS addons in france,
of them was an IPhone, a PSP and an Archos 5.
i have the tomtom app and i do own a PSP
the Archos is the confusing one, even if i do get the device i will need a compatible Version of N-Drive plus all the maps (UK at least) for it.
if anyone has an Archos 5 or any device with N-Drive on it i would like if i could get a dump of them,
there is an APK for N-Drive 11 which seems to work but i do not have an Archos 5 to try it on.
I Hope this doesn't bother anyone
