Code:
http://rapidshare.com/files/31361762/Route_66_Mobile_7_WMS_7.0.3040_EasyInstall.zip

not working on my imate SP5. Application starts, shows startup screen, apparently connects with GPS, and shuts down. Any ideas?

of course not, nobody on here knows how to fix anything! I've been looking all day for an answer as to why route 66 7 keeps telling me that there isn't enough memory to load the map and then shuts down, nobody knows. Plenty of threads from like 2006! but nobody knows! AHGHHHHHHHH!!!!! I probably won't get a decent answer for that anytime soon either. Good luck man! and sorry bout this.

try an map for smartphone and will load

You need to buy an SMARTPHONE map for your location

I was looking for GPS software myself a while ago. What I finally decided on was GPSDash (http://wimobi.com/gpsdash/overview.sph2.php?pid=sph2). What I liked was the ability to use custom maps, which are easily made with Google map downloader (for either satellite maps or street maps)
You have to register both to get full functionality and there's no navigation function, but it works well enough for dataloging and knowing exactly where you are.
Aside from that, I also recommend the Google Maps application for smartphones if you have a data plan. It ties with your GPS and, even if you don't have a GPS, gives you an approximate location based on cell tower triangulation.
One more site to mention is http://www.maps-gps-info.com/fgpfw.html. I stumbled across it looking for j2me apps for an old Nextel phone I have. There's lots of smartphone apps there, but I haven't tried most of them.

GPSVP is free too

Have you tried the Windows Live Search? It includes Maps, Driving Directions, From-To-Reverse Route, and many other little features. Maybe not as powerfull as the paid GPS softwares, but surely has got me out of trouble on the road many times. I can post you link if you care to see it, or just search for "Windows Live Search". Its a 700+ Cab. Good Luck

Looking for 2 Applications

I just got a Touch Cruise this weekend and love it so far.
But I find that I would really like to get 2 things for it:
1. a better keyboard. I know there is a learning curve, but I am not sold on any of the keyboards that came with the device. I heard there is a freeware keyboard that is much better. Anyone know of it?
2. is there an application like google maps or google mail that you all use to track stocks and see how your portfolios are doing? Something like this would make the device even more useful.
thanks,

Try out this keyboard: It's a little bit bigger than the standard one. I use it and it works great.
pocketcm keyboard
Google Maps can be found here: Google Maps Mobile v2.0.1.17

for the second one you can search for google2go... it's a hotlink collection for the IE. It launches as a normall app, and does include the mobile google finance

PocketCM keyboard is great. a lot of good skins for it too.
For a maps program Windows Live Search Mobile is by far the best. Seriously one of the best apps from Microsoft and it's for free. It includes movie times, gas prices, maps with gps, speech recognition for addresses and business locations. I think it's only available in the US & UK though, so really depends on where you're at.
As for stocks I use Pocket StockCenter. You can setup your portfolio, number of shares for each symbol, amount paid, etc.

or you could try Vitos' Zoomboard which is quite good

While I agree PCM is a great keyboard, I have been using TouchPAL and have been happier.

I just installed PocketCM keyboard but my Polaris continues to use the Old Keyboard. When I select PocketPC keyboard and then options, it says PocketPC keyboard must be the SIP inorder to Configure it.
What is SIP and how do I get the PocketCM keyboard to work?

I've seen that as a bug sometimes, when you hit the small arrow by the keyboard icon and select PocketCM and it gives you that standard keyboard with the really small keys. Try resetting and selecting the pocket CM keyboard. Then you should be able to go into options and modify it.
Also search for SIP changer, there are tons of threads and the file is floating around. Allows you to set the default SIP on startup.
By the way SIP is "soft input panel" or something like that, it's basically the app that pops up that allows you to input characters whether it be the default HTC ones, default Windows ones, or something like PocketCM.
HTH

Is there anything to rival Google's Voice Search on the iPhone?

Hi,
The only feature I'm moderately jealous of on the iPhone is the Google Voice Search feature. Pretty impressive.
What's the nearest equivalent on WinMo?
Bing in the UK does not have the voice search option, but I believe the US does.

Voice Search
I download the USA version of Bing through Microsoft website and it works fine with voice search. Still brings UK results. SO far havent noticed any problems with it.
Version im using is Bing 5.0.11249.0

thanks - I'll give it ago and post back with results...
cheers
UPDATE: I can't find the link! A little help?!

Good luck.

[Q] Little question

Where is the bing vision and audio? I installed the rom mango on HD7, escaped from the htc, I can not find it anywhere.

use the search button on the phone, bing vision is the eyeball looking icon on the bottom, and bing audio is the music note.

If I remember correctly Bing services like vision, music and local scout are region dependent. In Germany there's no local scout for example. Changing the settings for the search language to English (US) makes the services appear though.

[Q] Bing map navigation problem Solved!!!

For those of you who are wondering why Bing Map shows only the "Current Position" button and not the other features like "Search whats near by", "Navigation" etc., just change your Region on your phone to "US" or "UK" or any country other than India or the currently selected one. You can do this by Home->Settings->Region+Language->Region Format. Go to Maps again and you'll find all the features waiting to be used by You.. By doing this, You'll also start getting some "Boxes" on the wall paper when you press the Search Button which will take you to Bing Search. Once you press the Box, you'll notice some interesting information about the wall paper you're seeing...

Always a great tip. People familiar with the platform are well aware of this, but newer people wouldn't be.
I'm in Canada, so I solved the navigation problem by getting a Garmin GPS unit

However in some language interface this cannot be solved by just setting the search language to US/UK, e.g. Chinese (Traditional/Simplified), Korean and some East European languages like Czech, Polish etc.
Waiting for Microsoft to make the user interface on different languages a bit more fair.
