Vox with Google Maps and BT GPS?

I installed Google Maps. My Holux GPS is paired up with the phone.
Start the google app but it does not recognize any GPS being attached.
Anyone else having GPS issues?

Nope, GMaps works fine with my external GPS.
Maybe for GMaps to work you need to a few reg entries. See:

Btw an even better app is Mobile GMaps. See:
http://forum.mgmaps.com/viewtopic.php?t=664
(an official version with WM and offline maps support will be available today or t'morrow. I use a test version)
I also succesfully installed and use Trekbuddy on S710. See:

Hi
I am using GPSWatch Plus see http://www.gpswatcher.com
It is working very well with my Holux BT GPS.
It also support all the leading maps provider and even offline maps support.
Can be easily operated with fingers.

I dont know if doing any of this will work, but I stumbled upon it and figured you could give it a shot...

i780 and GPS

hi
i tried some gps software with i780 including google maps and smart2go
niether work (infact smart2go just hangs)
any one knows which gps sopftwares are working successfully ?
also i heard there is a garmin released samsung mobile navigator (which is not there on my phone by default) where to find it and would garmin mapsource NT maps would work with it?
thanks

Nav4all works, google maps works, Garmin mobile XT works, Sygic Drive 7.5 and Sygic MC Guider are both working.
Tomtom works only if helped by portsplitter or gpsgate.
Navigon hangs the phone when launched.
Amaze is impossible to download, at least with the default User Agent.
Not tried other sw.

GARMIN for xperia x10 android

I'm desperately searching for GARMIN for android (xperia x10)

why? is the navigation app not sufficient? i find it much smoother and more up to date (AND FREE) in comparison to any Smartphone based TBT navigation software so far.

well. Current navigation needs GPRS connection. In rooming is very expensive downloading maps. Garmin's maps are on SD card

I must admit, it would be nice if you can download a certain area of maps.
For example, if you are going on holiday, it would be nice to have the maps for Spain already on your SD card so that when you are lost, you can get back to your hotel/restaurant/pub etc. Not necessarily just for TBT, but top down maps too.
I do think (for local journeys) the maps downloads before the navigation starts, so that if you do lose 3g/GPRS signal you still have a visual map, and it also downloads the street view level of the destination (in my experience, it loads very quickly when you reach your destination, so I believe it is pre-downloaded)
Maybe its something that Google would take into consideration if people asked them for it (or a dev for 'hacked' versions of Google maps)
EDIT: should also note that Garmin isn't yet released on Android. They will soon be releasing a Garmin Android phone. Maybe after that they will release the TBT Nav as a standalone app

There are other apps that not need GPRS to work.
Navigon
Ndrive
SygicMobile
iGO (not for x10 at the moment)
CoPilot8
They are not free but you can buy individual country maps.

hopla - Which country are you in? Google maps works really well in the UK and a few other places now - and doesn't need GPRS.

Just download iGO but Motonav version and you will be very satisfied ! I am using it and it is great. Dont know if I can put some links to cracked versions but just google "iGO Motonav" and download version for Milestone ( 854x480 ).
Cheers

i would like to use the Garmin GPS navigation too. The motonav isnt that good to me. I have compared with the current navigon GPS and motonav, and found out that motonav usually points for longer distance travel.
note: i am living in US.

Copilot is the one working the best so far,the map are updated and it work flawlessly on the x10

i would like garmin for my android as well, i love google maps and the navigation, but garmin maps supports custom maps such as for western canada being able to search by LSD (Legal Subdivision) which normally looks like 12-14-15-18w4 anyone who works oilfield, or outside of a city office uses it in AB/SK/MB
Garmin seems to be the only mapping that comes with or has an add-on for inputing those type of addresses

Here in Asia (Thailand / Cambo / Laos / Vietnam) Garmin is the only routing game in town really..
So all other suggestions, while valid for some territories, are moot if we dont have maps for the region.

to do routing you still need a data plan...all brute force does is cache the map to the area you've browsed and it gives you your current location
also, browsing the map at different zoom levels takes forever

If you need custom maps for android the solution is Navitel, ($28 in Android market), make your map with gpsmapedit (version free) and export in Navitel map (with routing, and no need data plan). It´s very easy.

co-pilot 8 pro has been excellent. If they release a tomtom version well thats the one I like best. I travel alot so tomtom has been perfect for me.

You should check out navigon, I use it myself and I'm very impressed, I tried some of the others but didn't like them. It's worth a look.

Recommend me a good navigation app?

I used to use TomTom maps on Winmo phones... but i dont think it's on Android yet?
So whats another good map/navigation app? It cant be like google maps where it relies on a net connection to download the map, it needs to have the map with the app itself like TomTom does. It takes up a load of space, but i've got a large SD card so not a problem.

I use copilot and sometimes motonav. Motonav is bit slower than copilot, both speedcams and full postcodes.

yeah there are many navigation apps e.g.
copilot
navigon
ndrive
motonav
google navigation
sygic mobile maps
iGo my Way
I've tested a lot of them and my favorites are definitely Copilot, NDrive, Google.
If you've updated Google Maps via Market, you've received this blue arrow in
the app list. And the navigation with it works like charm. Also Copilot works great.
Much more features and options, but sometimes it shows me stupid ways to drive.
The very best I think is NDrive. Fast and beautiful app and the best navigation.
So if you don't want to pay, use Google. If you are willed to pay you should
try Copilot Live or NDrive 10

+1 for CoPilot

I'm using NDrive. The maps are very complete even on remote locations. Well at least in Europe, I haven't tryed it anywhere else.
It works offline. My data connection is very costly here, I don't always get service and it drains the battery so offline was a must for me.
Google works nice except for the online thing. I haven't tryed copilot.

Thanks, i tried 3 of them... Copilot, Ndrive, and Sygic Mobile Maps...
Copilot i think is the best, the most complete and polished. Followed closely by Ndrive.
But i've not really tested them while driving yet so i'll have to see what one has the best routes...

For some reason copilot is not working properly one my phone. It's keep crashing, i am unable to download maps for uk. There are even some comments one android market regarding this application, some users say they got the same problem after last update. I will give ndrive a try, maybe itd will worki for uk.

http://www.alk.eu.com/images/copilot/laneindicator-sm.png <= does this view work for you on the x10? mine always looks very buggy (because of the big screen i guess)

Looking for Navigation application
hi guys,
For past few days I am looking for a navigation application which doesnt cost the data charges. I found one such application in Papago but not working in my Xperia X10 rooted mobile on version A.0.24.
Would appreciate if someone can help me installing a nice navigation app...
//Gaurav

You should try MOTONAV it has resolution 854x480 fits X10 perfectly, but its kind of hard to find maps for it.

EDIT:wrong post selection, sorry!

Navigon...very good.

Navigon really good +1

Copilot is a paid application. Is there any link from where I can download it free.

[Q] any possibility to run a TomTom app?

I am with HD2 at the moment but thinking of mighty Sensation but I like TomTom which I use with my HD2.
Thanks

As far as I know TomTom isn't on Android yet... The version you are using on your HD2 is for Windows Mobile. You can use Google Navigation on the Sensation, and it doesn't a very good job, and it's free.

There's also mapquest on the market for free. I personally have navigon as well but it is not free. Don't you have telenav preinstalled as well?

Thanks guys! I was worried about going from Windows Mobile where most of apps I had were for free including TomTom and that there is no as good as TT sat nav on Android. Is there any sat nav where you pay once and you using it till you decided to buy upgrade new map? I mean no subscription fee.
Thanks
