Hi,
I recently obtained an XDA-Orbit (Artemis), which has a built-in GPS system, and noticed the QuickGPS app.
QuickGPS is an application that allows you to get a faster Sat fix and it appears to work well.
As I also have TomTom6 installed on my O2 XDA Trion (Hermes), I was wondering if QuickGPS would work in my Hermes as well (I am using a BT GPS device).
Both XDA units are running WM6.
If so, where do I find the cab to install QuickGPS on my Hermes device?
Regards
Peter

Have a nice day!
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...???

How were you able to do this? I just have a giant 1GB .IMG file...
I have a 2GB SD and an 8GB on order, so it's not really a matter of space - I'm just thinking that a smaller map would yield better performance...

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.

Yeah...it would be cool...but I've never come across any that do either.
I have Garmin and it si possible to split the maps into smaller ones, but if u already have the .img file then i think ur out of luck u need the mapsource i think its called.

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:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=248345&postcount=282
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..

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
bumbo
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.

Google Navigator
I am thinking about getting the Qstarz BT-Q1300.
Anyone have experience with Google Navigator 4.0 with 3D street view on windows mobile?
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...

did you check your settings in settings-display-backlight override menu? what happens if "always on" option is enabled?
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.
HTC CM Wifi Internet Sharing
Thanks To Tom_Codon For Sharing the Package from his New Tom Topaz Rom.
I resized and compressed The Graphics for VGA and Compressed The Exe File.
So this looks to be Working Without any Dependencies, Please Give feedback so others know where it is or isn't working.
I know people want this, so Getting it out there was Prime Directive. (Not sitting on something that will be out in a month or two, keeping it just for myself in roms i cook, sharing it)
Share Your Internet Connection As A Wifi HotSpot, Thank you HTC for looking at what users want.
Download
It is adviced to install this with the Topaz CommManager as its an add on to a newer version.Does Not have a Shortcut in Programs because it has a Control Panel >> Connections entry!
QVGA Version By wapvirus + HTC Sroll
Some Q & AFound in the Thread
Temp Placeholder Q & A
Q: In running the app there's a possible resizing issue since you can't flick or otherwise use the DPad to go down. Regardless, you can still connect but my PC and another phone did not find the network that was supposed to be available when shared.[/QUOTE]
A: Don't Flick scroll Just press hold ad the heig of hwere your Provider connecction is mentioned and scroll a little bit up to get the rest of the menu.
A: If your using another phone to connect, you can find the Connection in the regular Wifi connection screen under "Computer to Computer" Connections.
Q: There is no Shortcut in Programs.
A: Initially the App can by found under Start Menu >> Control Panel >> Connections.
Q: Do we need to turn on the wifi in the device where the program is running?
A: The app starts the Wifi by itself.
Q: My PC or Laptop is not seeing the SSID.
A: For the people having trouble seeing the network, make sure your pc displays adhoc connections and not just access points.
Q: I have no menubuttons on a HTC TP2 (german stock ROM). Any ideas?[/QUOTE]
A: This app has a 0409.mui so it either needs that Mui translated to 0407 or a translated version, for now it's just English.
Q: Wil this work on a QWVGA, QVGA or Non HTC Device.
A: There have been some confirms and spotted ports to Samsungs, so it is possible to make these versions
Q: I cannot scroll in any way?
A: It might be your rom is missing HTC Scroll package cooked in.
Beta Cab attached to Try, (since i can't right now ATM)
It places both Shortcut in Control Panel and in Programs.
Starting from Programs is regular
Starting from Control panel, will keep backlight on during use of app.
It Needs Mortscript Support in rom or installed by:

Do not link directly to this as it's just a test version.
OK guys, I’ve collected all reports with links to the original reports. I only collected error reports of not being able to see the ad-hoc network created by the phone, NOT problems resulting from the lack of HTC Scroll.
PLEASE, when you do report FAILURE, try making sure alternative solutions all explained in my dedicated article (http://www.smartphonemag.com/cms/blog/9/the-multiplatform-bible-using-your-handset-a-modem ) (ICSControl, WalkingHotSpot or WMWifiRouter work. If they don’t, try installing kliptik’s ICS CAB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4178146&postcount=122 and re-test all the apps. It’s only when they do work but HTC’s app doesn’t that you should send a failure report. Also, Omnia users will want to try the CAB at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4187489&postcount=186 . (The latter can only be installed on genuine Omnias and nothing else, it seems.) Of the three, I recommend the WMWifiRouter trial (at http://global.wmwifirouter.com/trial/ ) as it’s much easier to use / configure than ICSControl and WalkingHotSpot doesn’t have a trial.)
If you report SUCCESS, make sure you do try the internet connection before doing so. Simply being able to install and start the app isn’t sufficient – you’ll also need to see (and connect to) the ad-hoc network it creates.
Also, please clearly state in all your success / failure posts the phone model and the ROM version you use. If you use a cooked (and not stock) ROM, make sure you also list the name / version of the cooked ROM. Thanks!

There has been some posts in this thread, other threads and on other sites that got me a bit worried.
Especially a few comparisons between this HTC solution and Chainfire’s WMWifiRouter solution.
CM internet sharing is a very simple solution that we have little to no control over. It’s nice to see that HTC is forced to innovate because of good ideas from developers. After letting users wait years for just such a solution, that should have been added a long time ago. And because it wasn’t added, a developer fills in the gap and makes the solution.
Looking at the response to Wifi sharing, it can be said that this is a much wanted and needed feature.
That said it is only logical that it has a market value.
Especially if it has more and better configuration options for some one that will actually NEED a solution like this.
XDA is not about getting everything for free, it is about understanding how things work and make them better and get them working on older devices.
And though not everyone might know this, but Chainfire is just the kind of developer that fills in the gaps that HTC refuses to fill, from working on Graphics drivers to releasing/opening GPS ports quicker and that nicely ported and Skinned Manila interface with CFC compression your probably looking at every day.
Yes getting stuff out there, that isn’t supposed to be out there, can be fun, unless it creates a reason for people to start vent their opinions in unfashionable manners.
So if you really like Wifi Sharing and believe it is something you really need, maybe it would be good to consider Actually buying a solution that can be configured. (personally i don't need Wifi Sharing but i do need a good alarm so i don't mind couching up some money for that)
And if you just want to try out the HTC version, then have fun with it.
But don’t go *****in on someone’s hard work, or we will all find ourselves on a very boring XDA when there’s no one left to fill up the gaps HTC leaves behind.
I consider my enthusiasm to get CM internet Sharing out there a Fail towards someone I find has made more important contributions then mine to this forum, for that I am sorry.

Very cool, thanks for the post!
It installs fine and the initial screens are proper. In running the app there's a possible resizing issue since you can't flick or otherwise use the DPad to go down. Regardless, you can still connect but my PC and another phone did not find the network that was supposed to be available when shared. Any ideas? I'd love for this to work I can upload pics if needed.
Wow! Wouldn't have thought something like this would come from HTC. Very cool!
thank you. such a small file
Very cool! Just make a shortcut from the Windows file on the device and you are good to go. Works very well.
i downloaded the cab and put it on my TP. Installed the cab and then nothing. I tried to find it under "programs" and i couldn't find it. I tried installing it on the device and the storage card without any luck. what am i doing wrong? any and all help is appreciated. thanks!
it's in settings - connections
here, i have edited the cab to install a shortcut into the programs directory
Nice app
WMWiFiRouter I'm sure is concerned with this app since it will cut into its $29 application.
I installed it and created a shortcut with no problem
It starts and I input the info (SID and KEY) into my Wifi laptop but my laptop can't find it.
I'm using ATT FUZE
Do we need to turn on the wifi in the device where the program is running?
I have a Touch Pro CDMA version on Sprint. Installed cab, soft reset, went to start-programs-settings-connections tab-wifi internet sharing and started. The display is fine. It would seem you could scroll down but I can't. The main problem is that it never connects. Next to the SSID it should have a green colored bullet point to indicate I'm now sharing the connection, however it just spins. Removing the program, installing the Internet Sharing fix, and reinstalling the program has no effect. It doesn't broadcast the conenction and it won't allow me to choose a different DUN besides "Sprint." Still using WMWifiRouter 0.91 for now. However, I really hope someone can get this working for Sprint CDMA WinMo phones.

Ditto here....i turned on the app on my phone, as well as wifi, but my laptop doesn't recognize it...
does anyone know what i am doing wrong? thanks in advance for the help
By the way, turning on your data conenction and Wi-Fi similarily before you "start" the router have no effect either way. It would seem this is designed to work without any dependencies.
which devices
thanks for sharing
does it work with all winmo devices ?
which os supported ? 5/6/6.1/6.5 ?
