I know there is Google for use as a satnav, I know you can get free navs etc.. but I wanted a good offline nav (I know google will let you soon download maps )
So I brought Go Pilot ( 25 pounds .. ish )
Installed it... all fine
went down the M4 , went though a tunnel and it went into tunnel mode, and stayed there ...
on the way back home I went though another tunnel ( short ) it went into tunnel mode and stayed there ...
I testes 5 other satnavs.. all worked fine...
I spoke to the developers of co pilot at first they said it wa my fault .. the phone is rubbish ... I asked for my money back they deneied.
Fineraly after many weeks , they finarly admitted there was an issues with the Xperia S not working with there Satnav software .
I asked for my money back , they said no .
I asked why did not tell me this when I brought it... they said we were not sure if it worked with your phone or not.
I went to google , who said yes !!
Back to Google then !!!

I use Sygic, and I never had any problem with it on my Xperia S

I also use Co Pilot and yes I have experienced this issue and end up having to close it and open back up. There is another issue I've had on both the Xperia Arc and the S that if you come out of it to do something text/change music/email etc then the program resets and asks you for your route again. Quite annoying but I like the program so stick with it for all its faults.
Hi
I use navigon works flawless and has great features like co-pilot.
Been using it since x10 and tested all but navigon hits the gps the fastest quick re-routing njve interface and good updates to keep it working

Im using sygic too, not so accurate like google maps, but for offline version and maps, it is simply amazing
No one tried iGO ? the interface is nice
I dont like igo. Looks cheap and for me doesnt perform well

I saw this at the http://www.alk.com store. They're selling copilot Live 8 with maps for $19.99. limited time of course. I got my copy.
What do you think? I'm considering it since it's only $20. Not thrilled with amAze or nav4all, both free. I like google maps but it's not voice navigation.
I watched this review and it looks pretty good. Can't beat 20 bucks.

Bought and used this weekend just for short trips around town. Handy and worked okay but not a replacement for my Garmin.
$20 seemed too cheap to pass up.
Used it this morning. Works great. Kiss AT&T telenav good bye!
Think they're trying to get users hooked before someone converts 'Google Maps with Voice naviagtion' to WM for free!!!

That was my thought.
lol damn, saw this too late... It's $24.99 now...
i jumped on this deal too. if you download the pc app for it they even offer a new map for free. the new map is outdated though. both maps do not have my neighborhood on them. my neighborhood is about 2 years old and just started showing on maps within the last year. ocn had it mapped last summer and it showed on both google and tomtom this summer. i'm pretty surprised that it's not on the new map.
I used to use co-pilot but gave up because I called them way too many times to reset my "keys". It was hard to explain to them that I flashed my "custom" rom like I changed underwears. The lady there would questioned me why I have so much problem. I guess they think I am installing it in various phones of mine. So I switched to IGO8 to get away from having to call them when I flash another custom rom.
I used to sent in logs of areas that I droved that are not in their maps...and they would update their maps.
As far as their GPS, it is pretty good.

Hi SL...I also have it..do not need to call....all you need to do is to de-activate CoPilot before you flash and the re-activate when done. I hope this helps anyone.
Thanks for the tip! I bought it & installed, but wondered if there would be issues next time I decided to flash...
now with deactivate button
I went for the deal. So far I like it, but haven't used it enough to make an informed judgement. (as well as its my first tbt nav app). I did want to say to SL thatCopilot Live 8 has a deactivate button in the app now so there is no need to call support if you load a new ROM .....as long as you remember to deactivate it first.
I bought it over the 'sale' weekend, and have flashed twice since then without de-activating it. I don't use the 2577 folder install method, I use Sashimi to copy the entire \Program Files\CoPilot directory structure from a backup location. The first time I run it it needs to re-activate, but it only takes a couple seconds.
Can anyone confirm the necessity of de-activating before flashing?
I did it also.
So far soo good ! .
I used to have the old IPAQ Nav program moved over from my old IPaq 6515 to my previous HTC diamond. It worked well , but the graphic was basic.
Since to weeks I have the Samsung Omnia 2 (Bell Canada)and the new CoPilot seems to run very nice (at least graphic wise) and I find it preety easy to use.
Anyway for 20 bucks was a great value !
Works much better then Google maps. The Copilot maps don't have my Street either, my development is about 2 years old. Very good user interface.
Ironically enough , close to my house they made a link between two streets a year ago , and I see it on Copilot , but not on Google maps on-line !
Go figure..
Anyone managed to get Spotify working ? . I downloaded the free version and it worked fine so i upgraded to unlimited and now i cant play a thing. I know honeycomb is not yet supported by spotify but it's strange that the free version worked but paid wont
I have a spotify premium account and Spotify was one of the first things I installed when I got my tablet. I haven't had any issues with it.

I have premium to,now for three years, never have had problem whit my devices,include my ipad, but unfortunately Sony Tablet don't work property, and this happens for all the honeycomb tablets, check around!
Sorry about getting back here.I'm stuck in Bangkok amid all the floods and aint been able to get online for about 4 days now.
I contacted Spotify and they told me that only the Premium version is supported in tablets.They also said that there were no immediate plans for tablet support for ultimate customers which is a bit of a bummer cause I only wanted it to use on my tablet.I'm not really sure if Spotify is worth 10 euros a month
I have premium and it works ok but it is clearly not optimised. For some reason I can not sync tracks for offline play on my tablet but that could be something to do with the number of devices I have on my account.
I will not wait anymore, so today installed Wimp and works very well and now I can synk my music offline,is not so pretty but the music sounds good! So maybe I will say bye spotify!
About two days ago I noticed a dead pixel on my EVO. I was still under my 30 days with bestbuy so I took it up there after work and the guy agreed and got me another one. After I left the store I went to a friends house who's birthday it was & charged my phone up etc etc. After it charged I started to play with it and noticed that the multi -tasking was working flawlessly ..no reloads just like my rooted HTC EVO 3d when i had sense 4.0 on it. Also that HTC work around Apple patent thing was not on this unit. I went on the internet and clicked the address box and everything was highlighted like normal instead of it just clicking in the box and to the first letter. It also appeared to run better ,faster ,epic battery life etc etc. But it was one f****** problem. The damn sensor did not work & at one point the sensor light was visible. it was like a lil red dim light. So I had to go back to bestbuy & get another one & its business as usual. The HTC workaround is on this phone ,the multitasking sucks again and it just doesn't feel the same operation wise as the one yesterday...but the sensor works. I think I should have kept the one from yesterday and just dealt with the sensor error. But has anyone else had a phone without the work around or heard about other people in the same situation??
another weird thing
Another weird thing ....The phone I had with the bad sensor had all my wifi codes automatically...like when i went over my firends I didn't have to put the wifi code back in , it just connected and when I finally went home it just connected. this new phone I have now requires my to reput the codes in.

Well that would explain why I haven't had to input any WiFi passwords since I got this new phone. That's kind of creepy though...
I took a punt and asked my friend vacationing in china to buy me an HTC One dual sim.
It came, and guess what? It's impotent, castrated, it's an almost android ....
I knew china and google is in the middle of a spitting contest but I didn't make the connection. The phone has NO GOOGLE SERVICES which means: no gmail, no google maps, no play store....... :crying:
Lesson learned and BE WARNED...NEVER BUY SMARTPHONES FROM CHINA
What can I do? I'm dying here, it's a wee bit on the expensive side as a crotch scratcher.....
I have googled some sites and it requires me to root the phone and install the google api apk but I don't even know if the htc one dual sim can be rooted yet, or even if there is a custom rom for it.
Can anyone alleviate my suffering? It's here in my hands, running perfectly, so beautiful, BUT it's almost as useless as my old nokia feature phone without the app store (and I don't want to be sideloading apps and their updates all the time) .... arggghhhh

Hey all,
Just ordered my G-Watch this evening hoping it won't take too long! Really hate the damn £10 delivery fee :/
Anyone got there's yet or who's still waiting like me? ?
Yes mate got mine on Saturday. Taking it out into the wild today. Hopefully you should get yours tomorrow.
Aaaaand its here.
xD
Updating it now!
Arrived but haven't opened the box.

Should never have cancelled my play order >< still haven't got my refund so can't order another from Amazon and theyre going fast on there ><
What I get for wanting a different color ffs
Got mine today! My first order was 26th, I cancelled on 2nd to try and order from Mobilefun, then re-ordered again from Google the same day. It still shipped on the 4th and it was delivered today. I'm quite impressed that I didn't lose my place in the queue
Mine shipped at 10AM today Pretty sure I'll have it by the time I'm back from work tomorrow can't wait! How's everyone finding there's so far?
Got mine this evening, the Parcelforce shipping was not fantastic but got there in the end, had to pick up from a local post office as I missed the initial delivery (note to self, get all future orders sent to work.) Though the watch had been here in London for three days before they got it over to me.
The watch itself is very impressive, literally 'road tested' the navigation on my bicycle tonight, OK, it opens the maps app fully on the phone and the screen is on (even when in your pocket, but you can power that down.) So some tweaks needed, but to be fair, got me home...as a car user. They also need to tweak the 'mode of transport' option. But overall it's great being able to get travel directions on your wrist (one of the reasons I bought the G watch actually) so that ticks a box.
I love the currency conversion, language translation features, "OK Google, convert £100 into mexican pesos", "OK Google translate 'hello world' into German" etc, works like a charm.
Some nice apps that I installed after doing some checks online
Calculator:
(Look it up on Google, I am not allowed to post links , search for "Google Wear Calculator")
Duolingo (This will give you a small 'Flash Card' language game on your wrist...awesome really )
Since it works with notifications, you can obviously change tracks on Spotify etc. Yet to test it with Netflix when paired with Chromecast, looking forward to that
This presents the opportunity to use some of the phone functions while the phone is charging up and you are watching TV for example.
Overall, love the device, comfortable on the wrist, beautiful, easy to use, well worth the money for the Navigation, Translation and Currency/Unit etc conversion features alone.
Some small (intermittent issues) with Bluetooth disconnection but the connection quickly returns, not a major obstruction but a quiet annoyance.
I am sure that Google will iron the bugs out over time and also that 3rd party devs will start to wear enable their apps. This device is easily worth the money
got mine about an hour ago and so far so good
needs more watchfaces hopefully someone will get to making some awesome gaming themed custom ones also any idea how I get the weather card back? swiped it away and can't seem to get it back lol

Make sure your wrist is perpendicular to the floor and facing you, the watch knows which was is 'up', takes a bit of getting used to but once you get the hang of it, it's simple.
