Hey all, I can't seem to find a WM6 built-in option to display tasks on the today screen (instead of just the number of tasks, a list of the actual tasks). If there is, would you kindly share it? And if not, do you know of a cheap / free plugin to do so?
Thanks in advance...
Nevermind on this, found a great free plugin: TasksPlus 1.4.
Works great with WM6
Hi there,
I am looking for a good car navigation solution for Raphael (for travelling in Europe). After reading infos about TT which seems to work at least with the latest releases and Navigon (for which I am not that sure ...), I now read about Tele Atlas McGuider which also seems to be quite good and even less expensive, but it seems to lack TMC or other traffic assistance support which is crucial for me (radio broadcasted or via internet, I do not mind, but it is a must).
I know that there are some other solutions out there. I wonder if you guys have experiences to share, also w/regard to VGA screen resolution and so on.
Thanks!

I like the CoPilot Live, works very well and has a nice look and feel.
Co Pilot live is ok, but the traffic part of it is rubbish compared with tomtom. There is no visual display of traffic incidents ahead on the map, only a description that pops up with incident details which you either avoid or ignore. You can set it to automatically reroute, but you dont know whats going on. In my opinion, tomtom is currently the best.
I also found co-pilot slow to scroll around the map, but there again i dont have a fast mem card. Unfortunately there si no trial version available. make sure you get the version specific for the HTC diamond (also compatible with Touch Pro). It can be purchased online (from handango) cheaper than most retail stores.
Thx to both of you! I still would like to compare TomTom with McGuider ...

McGuider
Hello,
I am using last version McGuider (7.x I think) and it work fine, but map and icons are too small, I and don't know if it can be repair.
Please if some one use thist program please write down here about how work.
Bye
Garmin XT is the best imo. TT cannot hold a candle to Garmin.
iGO 8
I think iGO 8 is the best solution for Raphael
Navigon

Hi Jochen,
I have a stand alone PNA running Navigon 6.5, and I like it, too. But my experience with Navigon, especially running on my HTC Wizard (MN 6.x), is that the route calculation is rather slow and the whole app is not that fast on a PDA. This might be different on a Raphael due to processor speed, though. We also will use an Xperia X1 here: Is it possible to run MN7 on 800x480 screens?
Eriol
i maybe wrong, but some navigation programs will only run when the supplied memory card is installed. Installing the maps to another card will not work which therefore means you have to swap cards when using the software. Check before you buy!!!

Navigon is nice-- but once you're in the tunnel and lose signal it would say you've reach your destination I also don't like its route calculation-- it's giving me a longer route than tomtom
To my mind ist the default navigation (TomTom 7.451) the best. it uses vga, is fast, new maps

In Copilot7 there is indeed visual display of incidents ahead on the map, you also can get to incident-specific info in just three taps, reporting delay and other usefull info........
No need for automatic rerouting, you can let Copilot ask you what you want to do, after you have read the incident-info and delay time.....
No need for the diamond-version either, regular version runs great on my Touchpro....
See.......................you we're allmost right.....
Someone tried Navigon Mobile Navigator 7 for PDA on Raphael?
Is it compatible and full working?
Before then I buy, I asked to the support team, but no clear response about it.
Thanks.
NAVIGON Mobile Navigator 7 can work fine on Raphael, with this simple workaround.
You need a GPS port replicator (like Franson GPSgate) to solve the GPS signal stability problem on MN7.
I hope this can help who love this product family.
I'm not sure if this is were I'm supposed to ask, but it seems to be the most suitable place.
Anyway, are there any Music Identifiers for WM that are actually good for WM6? I had MusicID but it sucked IMHO. And on top of that it won't work on my Omnia anymore for some reason.
So basically, I just want to know if there are any good ones like Midomi, or if there's some in development for WM6. Please let me know.
Thanks in advance!
musicid just to be great, but now it doesnt really seem to work
an alternative would be cool
anybody know of a winmo prog that will display maps that are in .rik format?

There is a progam called 'Pocket Kartex'. You can find more about it on the Swedish Lantmateriet-site. Rik-files are used for Swedish maps. But with GlobalMapper you can transform them to Oziexplorer-maps. This Australian-program is a lot better than Kartex. OziexplorerCE does work on HD2.
thanks! i'll give it a try.
took a look at GlobalMapper but they wanted 300 bucks for it! a little expensive to reformat the maps. but i got pocket kartex and it works good enough. gps functions well and the maps scroll with the gps location centered, it also had some simple tracking and way-point features and that's pretty much all i needed. the prog was free as the maps were what they were selling. stupid expensive, too. lucky for me that i already have a bunch of fairly recent 1:50000 swedish topo maps, perfect for extended hikes/camping.
thanks for the help,
now my hd2 is absolutely perfect!
