Route 66 Navigate 7 on VOX

It works, but same problem as with TomTom, no keys - only fake cursor

What version are you using? After trying a few of the 'trial' versions out on the Net, I finally plunked down the cold hard cash for the retail version. After installing and then installing the update from Route 66's website, it works great with the d-pad and softkeys. I'm on version 7.0.3995 and it's by far the best Smartphone-compatible nav software I've tried. It doesn't support landscape though, and their support people couldn't tell me if a landscape version is in the works or not.
Also, if you're trying to pan the map via the d-pad, that doesn't work on any version of R66 for the Smartphone. The only way to pan is to navigate around current GPS location without setting a destination. Rather limited in my opinion, but R66 support also said they had no plans on changing that functionality.

I have just copied files from CAB to phone and made shortcut, i am using PDA version 7.0.970.1 There are only 2 files: /programm files/route 66/R66Navigate7PPC.exe and /windows/R66WCESetupDLL.dll

R66 7 smartphone
Hi,
i'm running a R66mobile7 build 7.0.2992 and works perfectly.... no need to use a ppc version

just got R66 mobile7 same build 7.0.2992 and yes, it works fine with numpad.
but i can not find configuration for GPS how to connect it with BT GPS wich is on COM7 ?
at programm startup it just shows that GPS not found.

did you add bluetooth serial port after pairing gps device ??

I got ir working. Started TomTom, connected to BT GPS, started R66, and in strange way it connected to BT GPS, closed TomTom and R66 still working. And now it work every time, even without tomtom

very strange way... i only need to launch the program to make it work....

quits
MY Route 66 crashes just after i have selected the map

symbian?
hi
Im a little new to this!
Will the symbian route 66 work on smartphones?

hi,
can anyone post a download for the Route 66 7 like with TomTom Navigator?

hi there it has been a while but i am uploading a easy install for route 66 smartphone you will have to find your own maps as i only have a english one but any way give me 10 mins and i will start a new topic hope this helps

Nav N Go iGO 8 on the Universal

Has anyone tried to use Nav N Go iGO 8 on the Universal. It installs Ok but when I try to connect to my Holux Satnav unit, it cannot find it. I scans all the ports, including the one I usualy use, but does not see it. TomTom 6 & Memory Map both find the Holux so I know it is Ok. Anyone have any ideas.

thank YOU very much

You much pair your B/T GPS device first and set outgoing port.

I have done that & set an outgoing port which the other programmes see ok

Also remember to manually turn BT on before running iGO8.
Unlike TomTom, iGo8 doesn't automatically turn BT on.

I deleted the pairing with the Holux & redid it & it works fine now. Thanks for the advice.

it works ok but after a few minutes using it, out of memory occurs...i'm still sticking to garmin..

I have found I have the same problem, plus the routing is a bit strange compared to my TomTom 6 so I will stick with TomTom.

I have iGO 8 running on my Qtek...it runs fine, no out of memory msg but I have to say that I run Mo3ulla WM6 vanilla Rom which has after softreset 30,5MB of prog mem free...
While running iGO I have around 4,5mb prog mem over. I also overclock my Qtek while on iGO, runs 10x smoother than TT6. The 3D buildings I switched off, all the rest I leave "on". About the "strange" routing I have not seen a big difference compared to TT6.
The only reason I have TT6 stil on my PDA is that from time to time I forget the iGO8 memory card...

TomTom Navigator 6.032(8351)... Not Working on TP

I installed TomTom from my old Artemis to my new TP. The installation went OK but when I run the application it didn't find the GPS device???
I am sure that the TP has built in GPS so I went into the 'Preferences' to make sure the correct GPS device was configured only to find that there is no option to select an internal GPS device???
Is there some major difference between the GPS device in the TP when compared to an Artemis??? Has anyone else had this problem???
I use my TomTom everyday so this is a major problem for me. if I can't get it to run on the TP i'll be going back to my Artemis and sending the TP back!
Any help would be appreciated.

Hiya,
I've just got Tomtom 6.010 working on my Touch Pro.
I had to configure it as 'Other NMEA receiver' - GPS baud rate 9600 - COM4.
That did the trick for me.
I did have to use the GPS tweaks here to make it work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427888
Before these tweaks I left it outside for 45mins and although it could see satellites it never obtained a GPS fix, with the tweaks it takes 20-30 seconds.
Hope that helps.

Why 6?!? Navigator 7 automatically detects the internal GPS, It looks better, It has more functions, You can use newer maps & There's a VGA version.

Thanks very much dav3ywrx...
I did as you suggested and followed the thread and it now works fine.
I will upgrade to version 7 once my 8GB card arrives because the v7 maps are huge!!!
Anyway thanks again for the help

[Q] Running TomTom on the TG01?

Is there a version of TomTom that runs without GpsGate?
My TomTom does not find the GPS receiver of the TG01, i.e. i need to run GpsGate for TomTom to find a NMEA source.
Is there a TomTom version available that can directly see the built in GPS receiver of the TG01?
thanx!

No, you always need a 3rd-party-app with TT. Serach for GPSModDriver (i recommend 2.60). This prog runs in background, so you don´t have to start it before you use your TT.

i first tried gps mod driver, but this seemed to be some kind of instable (sometimes it worked, sometimes not). so i switched to gpsgate, which seems to work well.
as gpsgate is always running in background, i suspect that it keeps the gps receiver running even when the TG01 is in stand-by, and this might be a reason for the battery to discharge that fast. therefore, i would like to get rid of this intermediate tool.
is there no way to directly access the gps receiver from tomtom?
how can i see if the gps receiver is running and if it is powered down when the TG01 is in stand-by?
thanx!

Use iGO instead

TomTom simply doesn't support the TG01's internal GPS receiver without third party software.
Needless to say I ended up switching to iGO Primo which does support the internal GPS receiver on the TG01 when you insert the attached INI file into the Primo's DATA.ZIP file.

i've got NDrive with my TG01, i.e. this looks like an alternative to TT. but unfortunately, this does not read TT POI.
as i need to use TT POI, i think there is no alternative for TT

Use Gpsplex with TomTom- it works well and is free

my main reason to get rid of gpsgate was power consumption.
it looks like as long as gpsgate is running, the gps receiver of the TG01 is running, and the battery discharges very quick. besides this, gpsgate works fine.
i suspect that using gpsplex won't help, as this will keep the gps receiver on permanently too. i.e. the only way to go seems to start gpsgate (or gpsplex) before tomtom - and after using tomtom, the gpsgate (or gpsplex) has to be killed.

This problem has been already solved properly, in my opinion.
I don't know if you examinated the Mortscript route. Anyway...
I made a script (as many others did) that does this:
when tapping on script
-turn on GpsGate
-turn on Tomtom and wait
-when Tomtom exit close GpsGate
So, this way, the use of GpsGate is totally transparent and it consumes battery just as any other navigator does.
For me it's even better than running a navigator that turns on GPS by itself, because my PDA when in car profile and externally powered turns on GpsGate automatically. In this way whenever I need Tomtom I can turn it on and have instant fix.
If you know about this, than I have no other solution, while if you are interested I can give you more details (and the script, of course)
my 2 cents

hey, that's great!
that's what i first thought about, but i didn't think that i would be able to start and kill gpsgate from a script!
(i haven't used mortscript for years, but i think i still have it somewhere)
so it would be great if you could post the script!
thank you vey much!!

ok, this is the script:
if ( NOT ProcExists("GpsGateCE.exe") )
GGOff=0
Run( "\Programmi\GpsGate 2.0\GpsGateCE.exe" )
else
GGOff=1
endif
RunWait( "\Storage Card\Programmi\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe" )
Sleep( 1000 )
if ( ProcExists("GpsGateCE.exe") AND ( GGOff=0 ) )
Run( "\Programmi\GpsGate 2.0\GpsGateCE.exe" )
Sleep( 200 )
SendUp
Sleep( 200 )
SendCR
else
endif
Some explanation.
If GpsGate it is NOT already running it will be closed after Tomtom. If it is already running it will be leaved on because if I am in the car when I've finished with the navigator I still want GpsGate locked on satellites while I am driving.
This is just to let you quickly deal with the Tomtom problem. So, please, modify the script to better meet your needs.
It's very late for me now, and this weekend it's unlikely that I came back to the forum. So sorry for the short response but I have many more things to say on this. The script can be optimized, for example. And I would also tell you more about commands SendUp and SendCR.
Please, came back in this thread. I'll find time to give you more usefull informations. In the meantime begin to test your script and ask for difficulties you could encounter.
Cheers
P.S.
Please, remember to localize the path of your applications!!!

thanx very much!
i think this is exactly what i need, and i'm quite sure that i'll be able to adapt this for my needs
as i'm away now for 1 week, i will wait to check this out until i'm back.
i think there's no need for futher explanations. if i can't get it to work, i'll just ask again
thank you very much!
