Hi, i started posting this in another forum here on xda but i guess it will be better to post it here.
I am looking for a free gps-system to my HCT HD2, and by free i also mean offline!!
If anybody knows a way to reset the trial on CoPilot that would be fine too, but i'm not going to do a hard reset...
I have looked in the post with all the apps for HD2 under GPS but i cant find a free navigation system. I have tried the NavyComputer and i love the way it works, but theres no GPS inbuild (unless you record a road and then play it).
Thx Qwak

I have one, I have all the updates I need and also the location where my frends are ( the cops )

i know i might just should buy one but i know that if i buy the copilot v8, in a month there will be a CoPilot v9, so im really just looking for some freeware...
I know that i can keep saying that there will come something new out all the time and therefore i should not buy anything but i just dont need a GPS that much.. its most for fun...
Use google because there's too many apps to post. Some work in the way that you download the maps off google maps and it uses it's program to navigate through them. Just search and you'll find it. Only thing is, you get what you pay for. Some work great in some areas, but others report problems in others.
well..
I did a google search before posting but it came up with alot of programs that used the 3g-network to get the positions witch is not free, nor very precise!! Neigher of the programs had a navigations-system inbuild so it was just to see where you were and maybe record a road...
I was just hoping that someone had tried a good one and would share that with us...
Or mayeb if someone had a list of available gps-programs so i could test them myself...
Thx Qwak
such I already mentioned before, thair are two difrent gps cistems thay who worked on a stand alone based, I will mean thay have there maps on your sd and don't beet a 3g connection thay works
ore the sistems like Google maps, it is free but it needs 3g and I don't see it like a gps but more like a plan who says where you are.
by the way I don't know about withc software application you was talking about but with my full lecence I have access on evry update fore a year! and if I will next yer also have the new updates it caust me only 35$!? so I don't think a really software is so expensive!
certainly not if you can bay you a htc hd2, bay a gps license will also work!?
and if you are looking fore cracks; you lost your time here! the ruels are clear here.
Don't use google maps, use Bing maps since it has actual navigation.
I prefer it over google maps, for now.
Bing is great. you can find it in Marketplace.
thx
Thx for the bing app, its surely better than googlemaps, although its on english... anybody knows if theres a danish pack for it?
I incidently re-newed my Copilot Live 8 trial by simply removing the licp8.dat file from the windows folder! Good luck!
I have OnStar and compared it to Bing. Bing seems (MHO) a lot better than OnStar.
1. Cost is free with Bing compare to OnStar $ per year.
2. Can set up route prior to getting into car.
3. If I deviate from route, Bing immediately does a re-route without asking.
4. Bing notifies you of turns 1/2 mile, 1,000 Feet.
5. When you are close to destination, Bing tells you whether it is on the Right or Left side of road.
Again, just my opinion, any comments?
Cheers
Hi, I just wanted to say Thank you to Megarock. Removing the icp8.dat file gave me another 15 day trial to play with. Brill
omg, IT WORKS
Thanx soo much Megarock, now i have free copilot forever!!
Though, you have to set it up again every time, but i found a way around that:
1. Delete the licp8.dat form the windows folder.
2. Open copilot and set up a new account and all the other stuff
3. backup the new licp8.dat to your memory card
4. when the trial expires just delete the licp.dat and copy the other one to your windows-folder.
(the one you copy to the windows folder is the backup you made 15 days ago, just after finishing the setup)
Hoped it helped someone
Thx again, Qwak

Evening guys.
Ok, think I have sealed my own fate to some extent here, but hoping there might be a solution.
I had a Kaiser which I installed TomTom 7 on using the hack whereby you buy the maps for the GO 720 and trick the Home app into thinking that it is a 720 (before the diamond maps were available - what can I say, I'm impatient! ;-) )
Anyway, predictably, I've now got my TP and have installed the tomtom 7 cab onto the device. However, it tells me that activation failed. I would go to the ttcodes.com website, but for some reason I can't find the damned product code for the maps on my tt account page (it says "product code , " instead of a number??!).
All I want to do is "unactivate" the maps somehow and then do an OTA refresh with my new product/device code. Is this possible?
To be honest, I'm a bit fed up with TomTom these days. I've spent literally hundreds of pounds on them over the past few years and upgrading on PDA is always either incredibly difficult or lags behind the TomTom hardware. If I can't get this sorted, I might just cut my losses and give ALK a new customer...
Cheers guys
squiggs
what version of Tomtom did you install?? 7.450 or 7.451
To change is easy however you can only change your device once in 6 month period. in tt find your product code - press the satellitestrength button followed by pressing on version number. In this list you will find your product code. Goto tomtom web site, log into your account and goto change my device at the bottom of the screen you can type in your new device product code. once done, you then need to download your map to tom tom home as the activation code will be different within the file. Sync your tp and all should work.
let me know if map share and traffic work. I can not get these to work.
@ Xtreme - installed 7.451
@ Ardsar - THanks, but the problem is, I can't get that far. It asks me to choose a map, so I choose my UK & Ireland map and it throws up the activation error.
Thoughts?
cheers

copy the ttnavigator.BIF from the root of your memorycard to your pc and open it with Notepad.
now you can read your devicecode
have you contacted TomTom already with this problem?
also delete your map - it should then let you download a free city map if you havnt done so yet.
Aha!
I've deleted the map and downloaded the freebie. Will work on work on it from both angles.
Haven't contacted TomTom yet (was hoping to avoid the pain!) but will do if I can't get anywhere.
Will let you know how I get on.
Thanks

Arrgh! It now shows the map for download on TomTom home but says "This item does not work on your device. Therefore it cannot be installed".
It obviously realises that it's not a 720 but that's what the map's for.
Have you vchanged your code on tomtom website? The map on your pc is prob still for your old device. Goto my maps on tomtom web site and re download. (move your old map to an area outside of tomtom home just incase it goes wrong. usually found under my docs/tomtom/downloads (or similar)
Hi again guys,
Ok - checked the tomtom website and compared to the product code that's on my account website, but they are already the same? I can only assume that TomTom home synchronises the two?
TomTom home still says "This item does not work on your device. Therefore it cannot be installed".
Any thoughts? I'm thinking that even if I speak to TomTom, they'll just say I shouldn't have bought the 720 map for the Kaiser and just to buy new maps? Seems to be the way they normally work. :-(
EDIT: I should note that there is no trace of my UK map on the device. Just the fresh TT install and my free download map of my area that I got last night.

Just a thought - did you delete your maps from tomtom home and your pc? If not i suggest you try backing them up to CD or something, remove them and try again. I'm not sure at what point the activation code is generated - ie when you install or download. Failing this, i guess x20 maps are not compatible.
Unfortunately, if you contact tomtom, they will just tell you to go away as version 7 is not released and supported in the UK. Sorry mate, i dont know what else to suggest. I used 710 maps on my kaiser which worked fine, i guess the x20 version maps are just to different.
Delete mapname.meta.dct and reactivate or generate a new .meta.dct by using a tt8_keygen.

Guess you have a choice to either buy the correct maps or move to ALK. I have Navigator live 7 (touch diamond edition) and i was not that impressed by it. Scrolling around the map is very very slow compared to tomtom, and the traffic module is not user friendly at all and requires intervention whilst driving!. Also they use navteq for their mapping data however the latest map is about 9 - 12 months out of date, although some of the road changes that have happened in my area are more up to date. From what i understand, tomtom will be releasing version 7 at some time so you may want to hang it there. Somehow, traffic started working last night, so i am happy now!
Hi,
I have an issue with the POI's. I am trying to add Tesco POI which integrates fine. But, when I gets to the add to Pick a Category, I chose New Category, type in Tesco it then asks to Pick an Image – From here I cannot find the Tesco image.
I am copying tesco.cv2 and tesco.bmp to copilot\save I have also tried copying the files to copilot\EU\UK_Ireland\save and also replace the bmp with png file.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm affraid I can't help you there. But you should really give iGo a try. I like it much better then Copilot on Android.

Do you know anything about igo being able to set several "via" points.. like 10-20-50? I know tomtom on winmob does that, and so does copilot on android, but it makes the app useless: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5751733#post5751733
IGO8 and TomTom on an adroid? U.S. maps?
I like IGO8 better than tom tom on my little TYTN. It's a litlle cheesy but Tom looks like it was developed 15 years ago.

I tried iGo, but don't really like it. It feels really sluggish on the Hero (G2). Plus, don't really like the way it tells you repeatedly about the next turn coming up, told me 3 times to take the 3rd exit on the roundabout, which gets annoying.
I think I'll stick with CoPilot.
I have also raised a call with their support, nearly a week ago, still no communication from then. Think this is the propa downside of CoPilot, support is c**p.

Afaik you can't buy iGO for Android yet.
But Navigon released their Mobile Navigator today. It should be available on market. I don't have proper market, so i can't confirm it. Will check that workaround for unauthorized paid apps market tho.

hello, I have a problem with this program, I try to type an address or something I wrote several letters at once, how can I fix this?
I have been searching everywhere and I'm not having any luck. Does anyone know where I can get a really good aviation navigation, that utilizes the built in GPS and has live moving maps, app for my hd2?? It would really help me out and stop me from spending $400-500 on a good garmin.. Any help would be great... thanks in advance
I'm also still looking for that
hello guys,i'm looking for it too,plz post it if any1 got it,for HTC HD2... thanks
VFR or IFR ??
I know when i was flying VFR years ago, www.pocketfms.com was fantastic and helped me found a small airport near Paris
About IFR... I don't really have any. I used to use beeline GPS and have a database of worldwide airport entered as waypoints. (named as ICAO code).
Except that, NON navigation talking, i use wxsys to get metar taf, notams on pda... however i found out it's not really fitted for the HD2, as i can't scroll down the results...
If anyone has some other sugestions of programs interesting for IFR flights on the HD2... i'm listening !
Fly safe!
thanks! but I dont have a pref. I just want an actual aviation navigation app with moveable maps via gps. I use aviationweather.gov for my weather related stuff..notams, taf, metars.. by the way the radar on the hd2 is awesome!!! so ill check out those apps.. but if one else knows of some good **** let us know...
Try this...
http://www.flynavgps.com/
i do have a program that i did use a while back the maps were a little out of date back then ( up to date airports vors....)
but all in all wasn't that bad.
I'm actually going to be picking up a leo tomorrow and will be going for some vfr flight soon so I'll try it out.
it's called
WinPilotVFR
-planning - weather -checklist -deviations ....were all there
there was a website that tried to maintain the maps but i haven't been for a while, if your not able to find it let me know and I'll send you the program.
pocketfms has become f***ing expensive. for wx checks I use wxsys. currently I'm playing around with relirescue for nav purposes. But: there's no aviation/ flight safety overlay.
Does anyone know if there's an holding calculator for ifr?
thanks yall ill have to do some downloading.. but I checked out navgps... but I havent had a chance to import the maps into the app.. but thanks and lets keep this goin.. were need more aviators..
NavGPS work better on device with joystick-button. I use it on my Acer DX900. When I try on my wife's HD2 it was much worse.
I think mobile aviation soft now - big problem.

Hi!
Are you a Pilot? I am too, on the helicopter. I am using 2 program on my HD2, they are quite very userfull for me. Oziexplorer version 2.34 and NAVGPS PRO. Both can build the route, flight planing, WPT the same like GPS, specially they installed to SD and just one time input the active.
Give me your mail box to get more information!
I am a CPL-H as well, but I found that there are much more usefull apps for android than for Windows mobile. So android mostly runs when I am entering the helicopter and windows mobile anywhere else ;-)
Oziexplorer will allow you to calibrate your own maps from scanned maps and other sources too.
Tried a lot of apps and now I am with
Flymap
Costly, but perfectly stable and with PC-planning app
Alternative:
Skymap
Less costly, same functions as Flymap, did not try it.
(I fly an ultralight gyroplane)
I had a BB 9700 until the other day (on orange contract), which came with free orange maps because of the plan im on. however i hav now found that said maps will not work on my htc hd2? wtf?!
Is there any way to either get orange maps to work, or install another satnav app, which wont charge me to use and/or download
Like i said only had the hd2 a couple of days (awesome i might add), so a complete newbie, so keep it simple please!
thanks

Bing?
/10chara
most HD2s come with IGO and you get a free map, but personally i didnt like it. you could try google maps, which will do navigation but wont do the voice prompted directions (you can download it by going to m.google.com on your phone). i use google maps for walking, and i have garmin mobile xt with the city navigator europe map (which ive just updated ). if you know where to look, you could probably get this for free, but that isnt legal. i dont think thee is a great choice of free solutions. you could talk to orange, and maybe they will give you some money off your bill as the maps service doesnt work on the phone
My hd2 didn't come with igo so where can I get it? Took a quick look around and couldn't really find a clear answer
waze, google maps, bing there are lots...
Legal Free Navigation
Bing Maps has turn-based GPS guidance. So when you reach a turn it will show on the screen. For guidance it's better than Google Maps, but still not as good as TomTom etc.
It's search engine and street views are good.

The answer is within google, sorry I cant mention illegal sites
With the right .cab, map, and keygen, you can get TomTom 7 running on HD2.
I use TT7, as I find it better than the rest.
Would give links, but it is warez.

Hi:
I am kind of regret that I got the HTC Windows 7 phone. Now I can't use any of the old apps like spacetime, tomtom from my windows 6.5 mobile since I won't be able to install the cabs on the Windows 7 phone. This sucks so bad. How could Microsoft do this?
I see that Garmin came out with a Garmin Streetpilot GPS in the market place for $38.99.
I don't want to buy it until I know what I am buying.
Will I be able to use the Garmin Streetpilot GSPS on my HtC surround 7 phone if I don't have 3G/Edge? I don't want to pay $50 for a data plan every month.
Can I download the maps and everything else via wifi and GPS will work on the road since I can't connect to the internet on the road with wifi?
Thanks
No, you cannot download any maps upfront.
Wow. Now I really regretting getting the windows 7 phone. Even if I buy the Garmin Streetpilot, I can't use it if I don't have a data plan for 3G or Edge.
According to this link: blog.gsmarena.com/garmin-streetpilot-now-available-for-windows-phone-7-priced-at-39-99/, it seems you can download maps for your route in advance. i just want to know if you can do it with wifi only when available.
Unfortunately, the application does not come with the maps built-in and they are downloaded on an on-demand basis. But you can download the maps for your route in advance before heading out and if required the application will download the rest over 3G, Wi-Fi or EDGE.
Thanks
Or you can use Navigon
hey,
bud you can you use navigon v3 for you wp7....trust me theres no data charges and you can download any map...just google it....its pretty good!!
Google is not needed - just search xda wp7 forums ("Software development"). All googled info came from here, XDA
This link will help you
Thanks. I have a HTC Surround 7 which is already unlocked when I bought it.
It seems I also need to jailbreak the phone as well inorder to install apps not in the Marketplace. It seems scary since I may damage my phone and cannot use it anymore.

I follow the link to install Navigon 3 on wp7.0, I did not add maps or do anything.
I just launch Navigon select afterwards, it started to download some 2GB files from the internet and I don't know what. after the install. I started it again and it says "The use of navigon select' was free of charge for 2 years. This period has expired."
I thought it was free?
Any idea why?

You didn't read the directions. It is a hacked version. You need the Android maps & Data files. I just uploaded the data file that work with USA maps in the Navigon 3.0 thread. You need to "find" the maps on your own as discussion of wares is not allowed on XDA. You need to disable data/wifi on the device & run a special server that the creator included with the modified XAP. For more & full instructions, read the thread.

We can not post links for the maps here, as it's considered warez & warez are against XDA terms of service. You'll have to "find" them on your own. Some people have posted hints in different threads. Just look around...
