[Req] GPS South Africa ??? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi
Does anybody know of a good GPS program that has maps available for South Africa. Preferably a free one with NaviPanel compatibility.
CoPilot was not on the Rom from my operator so I assume that it has no South Africa maps

Hello TickByT
I'm using TT7 it works very fast with HD2 unfortunally not for sale on TT site but if you google little on torrents you will find prog and maps from many countries including south africa.
Good luck

Hi Vanalf.
Does TT7 work with the built in Navi-Panel?
And you say if i do a google search for Tom Tom 7 South Africa, i will get a link to download the program and the maps.
Thanks

@ Savage-wp
Don't know about the Navi panel because i use simple usb charger in the car.
For download i used a torrentprogramm and search for TT7 or navigator or something like that, it mostly comes with maps of europe or usa.
After you have to download map for africa seperate
succes

I believe Garmin have the best coverage maps for SA (GARMAP). Its not about the APP, its about the coverage. No use in getting a really cool looking Nav app with all the bells and whistles but when you try to find an address, its 2km away from the actual location, or the 10 year old street doesn't even exist on the map, or the POI are so old that your granny could tell you that place closed in 1972.
Okay, I'm exagerating. The best thing to do, is go to each App's home page and see what their coverage is like for your country and compare, then choose the APP from the top few best coverage.
About finding the app... if you don't want to PAY (NAUGHTY!!!), Google is your friend!

TomTom Navigator 5.21 - some maps not working

Hi all!
First off, im sorry if this isn't the right forum to ask this...
The issue: After upgrading to the 5.21 patch, some of my maps wasn't available any more! I installed some others without problems.
I cant get Denmark or Scandinavia to work - they simply doesn't show in to select in Tomtom. However GreatBritain, Belgium, Spain and other work sweetly.
Have you ever heard about something like this before? Is there perhaps any way to manipulate the Scandinavia maps to become "suitable" ?
Thanks!

Garmin XT..
I'm pretty boring. I have tomtom for in-car satnav and google maps for if i get lost walking round a city.
Both are free (whoo!) but remember google will require a data connection to download maps (free) as you go and tomtom requires you to buy the maps (i believe you can get a free city map when you sign up on their site)
Cool Cheers
I will have a look on the old Fleabay
alright mate,
i have co pilot and it rocks dude.
i use it with an external gps, but i have also tried my google maps with internal gps and that was fairly accurate.
I have copilot also. works great. I got it off amazon.co.uk for about £60. not cheap but very good. Loads of different voice, POIs etc if thats what you want.
I even use it on my motor bike and the buttons are big enough even if you have gloves on.
Garmin is good. And they have UK nav. Or you can try co-pilot. My friend Nina was using that and she said it worked great. Also she found some other GPS on internet like zorro. They must have UK based nav.
i've seen many GPS tests on WM platform, and i think that iGo Amigo is the best app available, with Navigon following shortly behind....

TomTom - No US Maps on Website?

Hope someone can point me in the right direction. I have TT7 for my HD2 and now need to buy the North American maps. But when I go to the TomTom US site, there's no listing for the map, and in fact they don't even list Windows Mobile software as being available at all - only iPhone, which is pretty obnoxious where I'm concerned.
Am I doing something wrong? Has TomTom abandoned the Windows Mobile platform? What gives?
Bump. Anyone?
Bump. Yeah I've been looking too.
Try ***warez site link removed*** their site is down at the moment, but should be back in a week or so.
I understand the site has been hacked and will take a look at them when they're back, but why would we want to go there rather than buying maps directly from the vendor? Just asking - I don't understand, and it seems you know something.
When you go there, you will see.
Since the site is down due to a hack with no indication of when it'll be back, maybe one of you guys will spare me the suspense and just say what's going on if you know?

Ok, now go and try to select North America and see what happens.
TOMTOM has officially abandoned the US market for TOMTOM Navigator 7 and above, "Due to difficulties with US Cell Service providers"
Except for iPhone because Apple will apparently "work with them", while the other providers won't.
The latest US maps that will work with TT7 on the HD2 are the 825 series. The 845 series appear to be incompatible with WM6.5, which is why TOMTOM won't sell anyone the USA maps for Navigator anymore.

Please quote or link to source of your information because it seems contradictory. TomTom is independent of cell service as it's based on hardware GPS, and iPhone is... a phone, so if there are "difficulties with US Cell Service providers, that would include AT&T, the iPhone partner here in US. Furthermore, the HD2 was recently added on the TomTom site as a supported device, so again your information sounds strange. Color me confused.
i found the maps on the tomtom site or you can download them as a torrent.

Link, to US/CAN maps, please. I don't see them anywhere. I go through the steps of selecting my device, and get to the three boxes where they display the regions, but there is no selection for US/Canada.
I'd rather buy them legally than download them as a torrent.

This from US TomTom support phone-line. The polite young lady on the phone said she went and checked with her supervisor, and with her tech support desk. I am a long time TOMTOM user and was fairly insistent on getting an answer. She was very insistent on 'Can't help you - it will never be available in the US on anything but iPhone.'. Polite, but insistent.
So I regretfully hacked it. It works very well, allowed me to download one city map for free, and I don't expect to get updates for the USA and Canada map I am using. I would have been happy to pay them, I begged them to allow me to pay them...

my bad, i looked and they have maps, but no US . i guess they dont sell them anymore so i guess the torrent is the only option.
i dont know if this helps but i just downloaded the one free map for my city (san diego). of course i didnt try and buy other one and so i dont know if it works.
Any progress on this...?
Thought I'd bump this to see if anything has changed since the last post.
I'm looking to upgrade to Navigator 7 so I can have a version of TT that 'works' on my HD2 (i.e. correct screen format). Plus I want to be able to use the updated maps.
I need to be able to run with both UK/Europe maps and North America maps (for my trips to the US). I am happy to buy these maps from TT. I'm not looking here for free maps!
It seems that TT (for reasons we can only speculate on) still do not support North America maps on Navigator 7.
Has anybody managed to find a solution to this (e.g. Navigator 7 with an older version of NA maps or even a 'fix' to allow Navigator 6 to switch to WVGA mode)?
