I have bought TomTom BT GPS & European Maps & it's pants!
Bad points :-
1. Even with several maps loaded on a 512mb sd it isn't possible to navigate from one country to another. I have to find the route on Autoroute, find the border crossing, then look for it on TomTom's map & set it as destination. Then open the other country and do the same to set as Departure! As I need to travel through up 4 countries a day, this gets to be a bit of a chore!
2. You can't plan route via somewhere, I want to use a particular stop-off but no way to do it unless you plan it in several parts.
3. Change to map view & it doesn't centre on your position! Duh?
4. Downloading maps off the 8 CD's (YES! 8!) is a total nightmare! Choose a disk, (they are not marked! Except disk #1-8 ) then say downlöad map of....Italy, remove disc and Quit insert Disk 5, insert disc 5 & choose Italy, do you want a 32, 64 or full map?, quess what? remove disc & quit. replace with disc 6. Then it asks every time what is the format, then it asks every time where you want to store it. It never remembers it as default!
5. Remove a map & you lose all your favourites
6. Try to find out how to get any accessories extension antenna, fixing magnets etc. on the web site and you'll find 'Jack****'
7. There is no way to see the street names in navigation view.
8. There are only very basic descriptions of signs in navigation view
(take direction -----)
9. At a lot of very obvious junctions on motorways it says keep left etc. then you come to a complicated junction in town & it says turn right when it should say bear left then turn right. Or worse still it says nothing at all!
10. The usual 'turn left in 200 metres' comes in on a straight stretch of motorway, or 'Turn around when possible' on a dead straight route.
These are a few of the negatives that I can remember. got to go now as I'm losing my connection. There's more.......... :evil:
So does anyone know of an objective comparison between the various Navigation systems? TomTom, Kane etc.
Thanks guys! 600 Quid poorer & still having to use MS Autoroute along side TomTom! Grrrrrr!
Not exactly side by side comparison (well except for the Tomtom/Navman compare) but it has a few reviews of some others...

GPS not good yet
The same in here, I being trying to buy a GPS for ages but I keep hearing bad things all the time
just hope that GPS get develop properly ASAP please

Olivier, Thanks for the info. but looking @ the details it seems the new version is still on 8 CD's! I think these TomTom people are spending too much of their time in the 'coffee shops'!
I'm also a bit miffed that even though the new version is on sale, we, the owners of version 2 won't even get the link to allow us to pay for the upgrade until mid April. On the earlier TomTom route-planner it had a facility to add an overlay, on which you would store all of your favourites, & extra info in a seperate file. The new versions seem to lose saved data every time you remove the sd card to change to another! Grrrrrr! :twisted:
I have done some checking, too and would decide for Mobile Navigator 4 which will be available towards end of April.
Will us BT, you can use your fingers to navigate, voice, across all of western Europe, etc.
I have just purchased CoPolit in Australia - it ROCKS!
Hi,
I bought this product after checking out this site:
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/awards/category.asp?catid=43
CoPolite works a treat and is very accurate, intelligent and quick. You can do stuff like route planning, pull in addresses from outlook contacts, store an address in contacts when your actually at a location, find points of interest (like hotels, food, recreation etc,etc) ... and the list goes on.
Only down side - my Radio Stack is corrupt **every time** I use this software :evil: ! Nothing that a hard reboot doesn't sort out :shock: !!
(That's how I came to be apon this site.. I am trying to figure this out. )
Saw your post and thought I could add 2 cents (or pence) :wink:
Rgds,
Scott
Can you explain what you mean by " my radio stack is corrupt every time", how does this corruption manifest itself on screen, a corrupt radio stack would not be fixed by any number of hard or soft reboots. Which com port is the hardware/software. What message appears to let you know of this corruption etc. How have you managed to sort it out and use the naviagtion?
I've searched around and couldn't find anything that does what I'm going to describe.... I think it would be usefull and if any programmer who can do it I would pay for a copy...
Is there a program or other method to put multiple display items on one line and have it scroll or flash between them... for example I bought a program called Hudson Phone dashboard... it flashes between displaying the various items I wanted status info on like minutes, used sms sent, last call..etc ...
I was wondering if you could have a line on the today screen that toggles between say messages... live messenger... e-mail... battery... memory.. or anything else I'd like to put in there... you know those items that you want to see but really don't want it to take up a line per item... this would save a ton of Today screen real estate.. and items would be selected like HTC PLUS! does...
Is this possible???
i think ive seen a today plugin that did all that and showed stock points too, it only took about 1 line on today screen and would run through all the stuff you mentioned...toobad i cant remember the name of the app
yeah and its called battery status. use the advanced version and it has basically endless capabilities.
thanks I'll look for it
The other day I was at a football game where I had to park on a golf course far from the stadium and ended up wandering around for 20 minutes trying to locate the car afterward.
I knew that the iPhone had an app called "Dude, Where's My Car?" which let someone use GPS to tag a specific location and then later use Google Maps to guide them back to the GPS mark, but when I did some searching I couldn't find a WinMo version. So I made one.
This version isn't as sexy as the iPhone app, but it's free, and you can store up to 3 different locations and even name them if you'd like. When you want to locate one, you just click the respective Find button and you will be provided an arrow or compass direction (N, NW, S, SW, E, SE, W, NE) and approximate distance to your destination which will change as you continue to move.
I did some testing and got rid of whatever bugs I could find and everything seems to work. Since I find it useful to have, I wanted to pass it on to the community in case they might be interested as well.
If you find any problems with it, let me know, otherwise enjoy.
UPDATE 3
I finally got around to adding arrow guidance to accompany compass directions for finding a destination. The arrows are a bit finicky, but its partially due to the quality of the gps fix and the amount of fluctuation in the coordinates it gets. I find that the best way to work with it is to travel in one direction for a short distance steadily until a steady arrow appears. Once that happens, turn in the direction of the arrow and keep walking in the direction it had indicated until it changes to reflect the direction you turned. I.e. if you are walking straight and right arrow appears, turn right and keep walking straight until the right arrow changes to an up arrow.
I also updated the source code package for anyone interested in modifying the code. As before, I just ask that you keep its open nature going (GNU style) and if you post a new version of the software with arrows, or a better GPS interface (that uses triangulation as an option), etc. that you link the new software back to this thread and you let me know about it so I can check it out
UPDATE 2
As requested, I have attached the source code for the project developed with Visual Studio 08. It's not super clean since I put it together kind of rapidly, but it is decently commented. Anyone is welcome to modify this code and use it for your own personal development. Enjoy and let me know if you have any questions.
UPDATE
Attached a screenshot from my visual studio emulator. It should look the same as on the phone but with longer decimal values for the GPS coords.
Also attached the .cab files for the .NET framework that people were having issues with. I don't know if those will resolve the problems or not, but I developed the phone using the 3.5 compact framework. If you have that, a GPS chip on your phone, and WinMo 6 it should work for you.
Downloading, will try it and give you some feedback.
I'll try this out later. The compass feature is nice, something that nuePark doesn't have.
Thanks for pointing me to nuePark. I wish I had located it when I first did my searching, but then I wouldn't have created this. It looks like I unintentionally covered some peoples' requests for naming and multiple locations. Good times.
theres also an app called wm mini gps, or something along those lines. it will let you set a point, then navigate back to it later.
just my 2 cents
you can also do this in google maps.
The WM Mini GPS looks pretty cool. Google maps is ok, but only if you save it as a favorite. Not very good for temp stuff, and I'm not sure you can add a mark based on your current location (vs an address, which I know you can). I guess this app fuses the functionality and adds flexibility with naming and multiple spots. Thanks for pointing out both options.
bug in progam
smrtdrmmr thanx for the program but the prob is
immediately upon install my lil scroll wheel thingy (dont laugh) stop functioning normally instead of scrolling while browsing it activated the call volume function just like I had tapped the lil speaker icon....
That's really strange. It definitely didn't do that for me and I had to install/uninstall several times during the testing process. The installer is a generic project type based on the directions I got from MSDN. You might have some conflicting settings or something. Anyone else experience this?
This nice little utility works great on my Tilt. I'm gonna move this thread to Development and Hacking so it can have greater exposure for other devices.
Thanks
Tried it yesterday and it worked great!
Any way to get an arrow / graphic that works similar to a compass would, or is it just easier to have the words: SW / S...etc.
Thanks again!

I thought about using an arrow that rotates around, but because the phone's orientation can change relative to the compass direction I thought it might be kind of confusing (I.e. it points left so you turn left and start walking but it keeps pointing left because it wants you to travel West and you have rotated the phone).
It would be possible for me to track the direction that someone is traveling and adjust the arrow accordingly, but again, phone orientation could vary and it's just more complicated to deal with. The compass directions are fixed so it keeps things simple and generic no matter what way you are pointing your phone.

I haven't seen this before either so I did a little research and dug up this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-405749.html which then links here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2430410&postcount=390 I am not sure if this corresponds with my app or not, but you could check your registry setting and see if your problem matches the one described in the thread.

that wasn't the problem; my registry was fine.
doesn`t work for me too. I have net fram 3.5 and i get a window with a german text, somthing like: there is a error that can`t be displayed because i have not installed "NETCFv35Messages.DE.wm.cab" ?
I press okay, the app started and i first tried to change for miles to kilometers, now the app crashes completly with a unexpected error (no luck today)
Hope this helps you finding the Bugs.

Parking at the Rose Bowl sucks, huh. You get used to it after a few trips. Now I just need a phone with gps
Any hope of getting some screen shots of this?
Hi all,
Hope I'm posting this in the right place. If not, please move.
I have Remix_OS_for_PC_Android_M_64bit_B2016072603 installed as a virtual guest in Virtualbox 5.0.24_Ubuntu r1083 with Xubuntu-core 16.04 as the host machine. Using a Toshiba Satellite Pro L510. Took me four days to nut out how to get to this point, but installed and booting and stable now.
My issues:
1/ Location: When I try to run an app from Play Store it thinks I'm outside of Australia/New Zealand (the app I'm trying to run is specific to those regions). I'm in Australia, the app works fine on my phone (am logging in exactly the same way).
(* Update: I installed GPS Status and it tells me GPS is not switched on. Was hoping to then change the location with Fake GPS, which I also installed. It won't do anything with same message: GPS not enabled or similar.)
2/ Resolution: The screen defaults to portrait, as expected I suppose, but I have a 1366x768 monitor and it doesn't fit in the screen. Consequently, I have a scroll bar because as Virtualbox Guest Additions is not compatible with Remix OS at this point there is no mouse integration (I need to hit Right Control to use mouse in host and same to use in guest again). I need to press a bunch of keys to just scroll the screen up and get back to where I was going. :|
Other than that, all working great, Remix OS is great, thanks to the team that created it. The main reason I was wanting to use it is to use this one app on my computer (AFL Live) and plug my computer into the TV. I don't use my phone for anything other than that one app, SMS and the occasional call so I am by no means an Android junky. In fact, before this, I knew very little about it (but a lot about Linux/Ubuntu).
This install has been a quest, a learning curve, and these are my last two hurdles so I'm calling for help if it's out there. Trawled the net, tried some things, but have hit a brick wall with these two problems.
My first post so not sure of the protocol. If these two issues should be the subject of two separate threads, mods please advise and I will edit accordingly and create a new thread.
Tnx in advance.
(* Further update: Just having a read of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/remix-os-installation-rooting-t3293769
Wondering if rooting the device would allow me to change any of these, in particularly, the location to Australia where it should be, or switch on GPS so my app can see where I actually am. I'm presuming it thinks I am in the Cocos Islands or somewhere else!)
(* And further update: The screen resolution was as easy as typing Alt+F1 to launch a terminal then 'wm size 1366x768'. That looked terrible, though, so changed it to 1048x768 (from memory) and it is good enough, though not perfect. I may be able to get closer with further tweaking. Now the last, and most important, hurdle to leap: How do I get Remix OS, and more specifically my AFL app, to know I'm in Australia. Frustration. It's taken about ten days, on and off, to get here and still not quite where I want to be, but hopefully my travails can help someone else along the way ...)
Gave up on it. If anyone comes up with a way of running Remix OS in Virtualbox and setting the location, please post. Guestadditions would probably fix it and maybe one day ROS will be compatible with it.
On the other hand, I did learn a lot more about Android than I cared to know, but am now thinking about buying my first ever Android tablet to do the job with a USB/HDMI adapter.
Hi guys, I figured this out last year and after finding a forum about bypassing securely on here about it I decided to make a post about it so enjoy
Step 1:
Go to https://cdome.comodo.com/shield/ click get it for free, and create an account
When you've finished signing up, go back to https://cdome.comodo.com/shield/# and login (Your username is your email).
Step 2:
When you first login a box should popup onto your screen with a bunch of green text at the bottom of it. If this doesn't happen, on the top right part of your screen there should be a button that says setup wizard in blue. Just click that.
Step 3:
For this step, you will have to be at whatever place you need it blocked at. Make sure your connected to your school or work wifi, then open a new tab and go to https://whatsmyip.com/ and copy the ip it tells you. Close that tab and now paste the numbers into where it says Ipv4 address/ FQDN. Name it whatever you want, then click save, next, and "start using dome shield".
Step 4:
Now in the top left of your screen you should see a button that says configure. Click it. On the left hand side of the screen now, you should see a menu with the option B/W lists under policy settings. Click that, and then click new B/W list in the top right. As usual, give it a name, and click next. For this part, first, make sure blacklist is ticked and not whitelist. Now what you need to do is in the domain name field, add securly.com, press the plus next to where you just typed that, and press create.
Step 5:
Now, using the menu on the right, click add new policy at the top.. Give it a name, and for object select the wifi you named in step three, and click next. What you need to do now it make sure that both switches at the top are moved to the right, and then under domain B/W list tick the one that you made in the last step and then click save. That's all you need to do on the website.
Step 6:
Now all you need to do is open your chromebook settings by clicking your icon on the far right of your shelf, and then clicking the gear icon on the menu that pops up. In the window that pops up, click on wifi, it should be the first option. Select the wifi that you used in the previous steps, and then expand the network tab. Scroll down, and you should see a section labeled name servers. Select custom name servers, and you should now see four lines for text input. In the first one, put 8.26.56.10 and in the second put 8.20.247.10 and you can leave the last two blank.
Step 7:
The last thing you need to do is pretty quick. Just go to chrome://net-internals/#dns and click clear host cache.
Afterward:
Now your done! It may take a few minutes to take effect so be patient. If it doesn't try disconnecting and reconnecting to the wifi and clearing the cache again. Soon though, you should notice that securely doesn't do anything anymore. Pretty much what you have done, is made it so when your Chromebook asks securely if a page needs blocked, securely doesn't respond and your Chromebook assumes its okay. The only problem with this method is that you have to setup each wifi you want things unblocked on, so for every new wifi you want unblocked you need to repeat steps 3 and 5-7. Overall though, I would say this is the best way because your only going to use the Chromebook at whatever place issued it to you and maybe your house so you only really need to do it at most twice. That's all, and if you have any questions or problems please ask and I'll do my best to help

Then just keep the tab open and securly is no more!
P.S. if it isn't working search it up again.
I don't have smart device
Also, sorry for mis title, i changed it since i got through it. But for this i need a Business. I do not have a business since i am 13 and for this like Enterprise or MSP when it wants me to make me go and get one, but i don't have one. Also can you tell me where to go, like bottom of the screen or top for the step one? I have been on step one confused for like 30 minutes now. Can you help me?

Yikes, doesn't work at all
i put bit.ly/securlysucks in my browser and left it there for a little and nothing happend, everything is still blocked, any other things i can do to block securly?
This doesn't work lol
I don't like wanna watch innapropiate things I just want to watch YouTube
I reccomend if all this doesn't work just use your phone or regular computer. I also saw somebody like take apart the chromebook heres the link
This MIGHT work because you could unenroll and then disable the Securly or whatever.
You could also tell your school to stop using it but I doubt that will work.
The website is blocked.

I can't do that. The two URLs in step one are blocked
this link might work for you for youtube https://jonahkc.github.io/youtube-unblcked/
wouldnt it be better for a coder to create a whole browser thing that cant get the school blocker through coding but you can access that browser through google and make it to where the school cannot block it
if you go to this link https://replit.com/@JonasFlynn/Bookmarklets?v=1 it tells you how to disable any extensions. But it stopped working for me a week ago with the new Chromebook update, but it might work for you

for some reason https://www.unblockyoutube.co/ is not blocked, and this is a proxy that is not slow, but for some reason I get an error code 520 but for most of my classmates it works as a proxy that you can use to play anything. this link https://rmehy1.sse.codesandbox.io/ sometimes works sometimes it doesn't but it isn't blocked for me. you can change the tab title and icon whenever you are using your proxy, for example, you could change shell shockers title to classroom and the image to look like classroom but if the teachers have securely classroom if they look at your tabs they can still see what you are doing, It also has some built-in games. The bad thing about it though is that it is a bit slow and some of the proxies (since you can pick which proxy you want to use) don't even work. this might work for you but it doesn't work for me https://website-aio.jonasflynn.repl.co/
