Best SatNav application?

Looking to get a SatNav application going on my HD2.
Don't mind fiddling around a bit to get it running, as long as it works well (and not sluggish)
Which is the best one to use, as there is quite a few available for WinMo?
Thanks

Nice
I tried TomTom but coulnd't move it to another phone so gave up there
Route 66 had a problem that hampered journies. It always drove me down the smallest roads going, no matter what vehicle type I used.
CoPilot 8, so far, has been the best of the three AND costs less.

I'm using TomTom 7 and so far is the best. I've used TT6 on my two previous Orbit phones and TT5 on HP iPAQ 1710 and never had any problems.
But just look on websites,read some comments and I'm sure u will find right one

In my opinion is Navigon Mobile Navigator 7 a very good choice especially for Europe. It's also not too expensive. Used it already with my Xperia and now could easily move to HD2 (Navigon just gave me a new key). I don't have ANY problems with this awesome software. It is written for WVGA and it looks fantastic on the HD2-screen. You can load a demo at their homepage and use it for 30 days without any restrictions.

Does anyone know where one can get igo which I understand is supposed to be quite good. On their site it just says coming to WinMo as far as I can gather.
Some sort of trial would be preferable, but somewhere to purchase from would also be nice.

In Germany you can buy it e.g. at a little online-store called AMAZON... *KLICK*

I use IGO8.

I use tomtom and am very happy with that

I am using iGO8 works great in Greece.

i use garmin for singapore, malaysia, thailand, china, UK, middle east, japan, korea, taiwan, australia and new zealand, north america, and canada.

Copilot 8 is brilliant.
Though have bifg problems getting it activated atm

It's great, except it doesn't have a qwerty keyboard in version 8.

Tom Tom 7 rules on HD2 (VGA version) with cameras and a lot of POI's look for torrent

I'll give that a try. Is it possible to get traffic working?

But that's preinstalled on an SD card, not really interested in that. Only want to download the software. Anybody?

My beloved children...: Try sygic mobile maps!!!

Everyone will have their own favourite..I've currently got the following loaded (in order of preference):
1) Tomtom navigator 7.916...this rocks
2) Garmin XT...the live features are cool which is what tomtom lacks
3) Sygic Mobile maps 9..nice and simple,nice signs and a few extras
4) Igo8..will do anything but not the simplest to operate
5)Navigon MN7.4..traffic and live services seem ok but not struck on gui myself..will eventually ditch this...16gb soon gets used up!
I did have the installed Co-pilot trial but never bothered paying to upograde it as I wasn't that impressed with it when I tried it.
I also found it usefull that the first 3 apps will also happily let themselves be rotated using BsBtools.(navigon sort of manages it but a bit messily and the version of Igo I grabbed had a fit when I tried to rotate it..even its inbuilt rotate feature wasn't happy..)

I was looking for the Tomtom navigator 7.916 but I am struggling to find it, what maps do you need for it?

As the navigator software is quite a low level program it will only let you use the lower grade maps (not those that have IQ routes and ALG) which for the 835 maps equates to 835.2366,2394,2420,2421,2423,2424,2450,2482,2497 and 2501. The full blown 835.2419,2448,2451 and 2460 versions wont play ball.
For 840 maps the ones to avoid are 840.2554,2562,2566 and 2568

mate i am running tom tom version 6 and it iss running smoothly, had tom tom version 7. something and it gave bit of trouble with the bluetooth
happy australia day mate from Sydney

I used to use TOmtom 7 and it worked ok.
But I recently tried iGo8 and have to say it's SOOOOO much better than Tomtom...I have it running at 800x480 res and it looks amazing...you can customise it with different skins, themes etc....well worth trying

I am using Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.20wp
Got the Aust maps, Malaysia and a few other countries.
Got it for free with the phone when i bought it on holidays in Malaysia, used it few times over there and here in Sydney, works not bad.
Not as user friendly as Tomtom but gets you to where you want to go.

i had a quick peak at igo8 website and i couldnt see any AU maps? only euro/NA ? did i not look properly ?

Running TT7 on my HD2 atm. The BT issue is easily fixed by renaming 2 files.

You can use sensis maps with iGO8. make sure they are compatible with your version of iGO8 though.

hi
I’ve tried Tomtom IGO8 and some others
But THE BEST is Garmin Mobile XT 5.00
Maps for most countries, the details are amazing, for lan and lat u have more than 4 ways of inputs, u can send ur location as an sms and if ur friends uses garmin it will automatically run garmin and guide him/her and if not it will send the lan and lat so they can enter it in there gps device and it has maps for the desert and speed cameras weather flights updates........
Download the trail and see for ur self
Im using it in Saudi Arabia and its amazing

Sounds interesting. I am contemplating putting Garmin onto my phone along with TomTom7.

Hi there.
Just recently purchased and running Sygic Mobile Maps 9 (Australia New Zealand) and very happy with it. Easy to install, speed to load up, and route recalculation and POI's are excellent. Was about $85 AUD after convert from EUR on the local site. Download file about 200mb, installed to SD in about 2 minutes.
Cheers, Sean

Need USA Maps for Sygic and more...

Hi everyone,
i desperately need the USA maps for the Sygic software as i only have the Europe ones installed on my HTC HD 2. Could anyone help me on this?
Also, i have tried to install the I-GO my way on my HTC HD 2 but it wouldn't allow me... does anyone know why?
Last, i've noticed that the HTC HD 2 comes with a pre-installed Co-Pilot and a Google Maps softwares. Could anyone please tell me if these worth using instead?
thank you for your help and time.

CoPilot is decent enough for me. Google maps has no voice turn by turn. Good thing is Bing is around with voice navigation.

Went to their site and they do not even offer that map. Also, even if that map was available, it's shareware meaning you'd have to pay for it and asking for it here would be dumb because that would be asking for "warez" which this site doesn't do. Try anything else. Honestly, almost any other GPS software (both online and offline) offer US maps. Bing and Google maps are the only free online ones though.

Alternative GPS Navigation

Hello! I know that Google Navigation paired with the GPS is kind of awesome. But, it uses my data plan, in which I have limited bandwidth. I live in Europe - Latvia so many GPS navigation systems don't work for me. But I found this one cool navigation, which I kind of liked. It's called "iGo My Way". But the only problem is that it is not made for the Sensation because all the resolutions available are for smaller screens.
So I'm asking: Could you suggest a descent navigational software that I could use in offline mode with only the enabled GPS? Because I need routes, maps and finding new locations every day and bandwith in my country is weirdly expensive, compared to calls.
Oh, and: Which one of these uses most battery: GPS/3G?
Thanks a bunch!

Sorry for the double-post.
But is this a dumb question that nobody is answering it?

http://slideme.org/application/mapdroyd
or you can search it on the market (which I don't have installed on my phone, thus the direct download site.)
it requires initial data use to pull down the maps to your sd card and it says it can be used offline after that.

Thanks for the idea but the sad thing is that it doesn't work as a GPS navigational software.
I am ready to buy navigational software for my phone, just need to know which one will fit our screen.

iGO is very good navigation software but it doesnt support resolution of sensation. But if you search the forum you can find skins which make iGO can run with our device.
There are other alternatives like sygic and drive. These have native support to sensation. Route 66 will have support soon. Before you buy make sure, they have good maps
Major map providers are teleatlas, navteq and local providers. In my country local provider much better than the others. Teleatlas is generally better in europe.

For offline i prefer Navigon

I would recommend Sygic - it works fine on my Sensation. I have it for Europe. You can get Eastern Europe for 30Euros, and that includes Latvia. You can download the software from the Market and then buy the maps. Or download direct from Sygic. .

I use copilot and it works with sensation resolution

nDrive is excellent and works quite fine with good maps.

Navigon is the best for offline gps. But soon tomtom will also release a Android app. For now use Navigon it's not that expensive.

And I would not touch it with a ten foot barge pole! Their so called customer "support" is dreadful. I knew more about their product that the support people I was emailing! They told me it could not work on my hardware after I told them at it was. Been there done that got that T shirt. I do not want to go there again.

I used tomtom for years and that thing still works without problem. I cant wait for there app for Android.

At this moment I am looking at CoPilot. Will look into your suggestions too. Thank you for the responses!

sygic is the best so far ... (in my opinion)
tried : ndrive, navigon, copilot

if I'm running Sense, then I use the built in Locations.
If I am running anything else, then NavFree works pretty well. Maps download to the SD card for offline navigation, clear concise instructions.

+1 from me on that. Sygic is the best Android app for navigation

I have to demand u all, i must relay on nav software a lot and IGO is the best
igo my way
most commercial software, top maps and updates every month... all countries to hous number level. 6 3rd pary local providers who also build maps from same source for topm toom ad garmin.
Igo is best form pna and pda...
there is fantastic skin for sensation resolution, which adds many new features.

are u paid for this or just joking ? the most recent "skinned" version is 8.4 ... Laggy, and not handy to use. (poi system unusable, many many function missing) Telling this that way, i was using it since the win mob 6.0 times .... (till my 1st android phone > than tried it, and than came sygic and others).
and always remember : no official igo for android phones ... (a couple phone got oem version and those were "suited" to other phones). it was a lame step from navngo, but hey ... it was years ago i'm happy with my current selection

In my opinion Navigon is the best :} Try some navis and decide what is best for you!

You can also try "Locus". It's a map application which supports Offline Vector Maps, so it doesnt need much space on SD Card.
It also supports navigation, but i didnt tested that feature very much.

Sygic is only free for a 7 day trial : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sygic.aura&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zeWdpYy5hdXJhIl0.
I use CoPilot for off-line navigation (my network provider is too unreliable with 3G service to trust Google Maps Navigation) which I am finding very good. It is probably the most expensive, but I got it in a half-price sale which made it much more reasonable.

Just avoid at all costs the HTC Locations included with the Desire S. I paid for a full license that didn't work (this was on a stock unrooted Desire S) and route 66 refused a refund. Their product doesn't work and they don't seem to care.

It can be found for free though
