Good GPS Program

I'm Look for a Program for use my bluetoth gps
can you help me?
sorry for my english

I recommend Garmin Mobile XT. It works perfect with Vox. Also maps are very detailed.

I also recommend Garmin Mobile XT.
Use it with Mapsource and you can store different kinds of maps like road navigation, on the sea and topo maps. Google it and you will find ;-))

I have had problems trying to run and install Garmin XP on my S710. Dont know what I have to do, Perhaps using wrong maps etc

I've tried various gps applications, Tom Tom 6 and Destinator 7 both ok, prefered Destinator 7 but both applications required a virtual mouse.
I had bought SPHelper which was fine although a little slow and fiddly scrolling around entering zip codes etc.
Garmin mobile XT was a bit slow and I didn't like maps.
The one that I find works a charm for me is Sygic McGuider. Easy to use, nice interface and it's a great price too. It also works on both platforms, WM6.1 and Symbian.

Highly recommended.

I use route 66
works fine without pointer. just keyboard input.
fast, no troubles

I use nav4all. It's free and works perfect for me.

Best car navigation solution for Raphael?

Hi there,
I am looking for a good car navigation solution for Raphael (for travelling in Europe). After reading infos about TT which seems to work at least with the latest releases and Navigon (for which I am not that sure ...), I now read about Tele Atlas McGuider which also seems to be quite good and even less expensive, but it seems to lack TMC or other traffic assistance support which is crucial for me (radio broadcasted or via internet, I do not mind, but it is a must).
I know that there are some other solutions out there. I wonder if you guys have experiences to share, also w/regard to VGA screen resolution and so on.
Thanks!
Eriol

I like the CoPilot Live, works very well and has a nice look and feel.

Co Pilot live is ok, but the traffic part of it is rubbish compared with tomtom. There is no visual display of traffic incidents ahead on the map, only a description that pops up with incident details which you either avoid or ignore. You can set it to automatically reroute, but you dont know whats going on. In my opinion, tomtom is currently the best.
I also found co-pilot slow to scroll around the map, but there again i dont have a fast mem card. Unfortunately there si no trial version available. make sure you get the version specific for the HTC diamond (also compatible with Touch Pro). It can be purchased online (from handango) cheaper than most retail stores.

Thx to both of you! I still would like to compare TomTom with McGuider ...

McGuider
Hello,
I am using last version McGuider (7.x I think) and it work fine, but map and icons are too small, I and don't know if it can be repair.
Please if some one use thist program please write down here about how work.
Bye

Garmin XT is the best imo. TT cannot hold a candle to Garmin.

iGO 8
I think iGO 8 is the best solution for Raphael

Hi Jochen,
I have a stand alone PNA running Navigon 6.5, and I like it, too. But my experience with Navigon, especially running on my HTC Wizard (MN 6.x), is that the route calculation is rather slow and the whole app is not that fast on a PDA. This might be different on a Raphael due to processor speed, though. We also will use an Xperia X1 here: Is it possible to run MN7 on 800x480 screens?
Eriol

i maybe wrong, but some navigation programs will only run when the supplied memory card is installed. Installing the maps to another card will not work which therefore means you have to swap cards when using the software. Check before you buy!!!

Navigon is nice-- but once you're in the tunnel and lose signal it would say you've reach your destination I also don't like its route calculation-- it's giving me a longer route than tomtom

To my mind ist the default navigation (TomTom 7.451) the best. it uses vga, is fast, new maps

In Copilot7 there is indeed visual display of incidents ahead on the map, you also can get to incident-specific info in just three taps, reporting delay and other usefull info........
No need for automatic rerouting, you can let Copilot ask you what you want to do, after you have read the incident-info and delay time.....
No need for the diamond-version either, regular version runs great on my Touchpro....
See.......................you we're allmost right.....

Someone tried Navigon Mobile Navigator 7 for PDA on Raphael?
Is it compatible and full working?
Before then I buy, I asked to the support team, but no clear response about it.
Thanks.

NAVIGON Mobile Navigator 7 can work fine on Raphael, with this simple workaround.
You need a GPS port replicator (like Franson GPSgate) to solve the GPS signal stability problem on MN7.
I hope this can help who love this product family.

What is the best GPS Navigation software for polaris?

Title says all.
I've only experienced TomTom 6 and now i'm using v7. I find it quite slow to be honest. I expected more from it. I'm using UDK R7 and my device is quite fast. But TomTom 7 disapoints me a bit.
Has any1 tried another application that runs faster and does a nice job?

Hi there,
I currently use iGo, it's really faster and more efficient than tomtom !

I must agree!
I'm very pleased with iGo!

That depends on which part of world you live in and whether all the required maps are available .. !

Agreed with previous poster.
But, if you live in Europe, specially Eastern Europe, iGO is the best.

iGo iGo iGo..... By far. the only delay I've ever experienced is on load with iGo is geo-caching the addresses - UK based.

Seems i buck the trend and use TomTom7 - i have igo8 on it as back up but find its not as good for finding address with postcodes.
I prefer the UI in igo8 but i prefer the use in TT7

Mobile Navigon 7 (PDA version) could also be a good choice; I use it for over 6 month by now (with my X7500) and is really good. I also have the iGo 8 (full Europe ... cracked ) and TT 6 (full Europe licensed); from all, I prefer Navigon 7 (also full Europe and licensed).
Cheers.

ok, i will try some of there and see, im werry tierd of tomtom...

i like tomtom but im using Ndrive v3 and is very fast and very complete here in portugal... but i like to try igo for a few days with europe map...

Hi,
This is probably a silly question but will iGo read TomTom maps? I've got TomTom 6 but judging from the praise for iGo on this thread it looks worth a go but I'm concerned about having to buy a new Western Europe map.
Ta

Hmmm... not sure the maps are the same format...
Actually, I believe they are not. iGO format is *.fbl, but there are also buildings, POIs, speedcams...
When you buy iGO, you also state for what area. My iGO came with maps for 26 Central/East European countries...
There are several packages, so choose wisely.

I've TomTom7 and Igo8 R3 on my Poalris.
But the favorite is IGO8 Igo is faster and the skins are great.
Leo

Mobile Navigator 7 is my favorite. fast...very nice skin... nice features and the most important thing: its stable

Garmin Mobile XT works fine
Remarkable that none has picked Garmin Mobile XT as the best so far. I use it with great pleasure both in the car with Europe NT9 and onboard the boat with the BlueChart Maps.
Andbertina

I just had a look on the Garmin site - it is not clear whether you can buy the nav software for the PPC, or do you have to get the nav hardware?

i was going to try iGo but the maps are old and there's nothing worse than being steered into a brick wall.

Garmin
Garmin Mobile XT, then add the maps you need
It is nearly the same GUI and software you find in the Garmin devices, with additional features related to connectivity

I just installed iGO8 but it says "GPS receiver not found".
I'm using Syrius UDK R7, and i also have TomTom7 installed and it works fine (laggy but fine).
Does any1 know whats going on?

Try sygic or route 66 mobile 8.
Sygic is fast and is very easy to work with this program.
Route 66 have the best maps and precision when you make long "drivers".
_____________________________
Tenta por o sygic ou o route 66. Se for para usar em Portugal, usa o Ndrive 3 (que tem o nucleo do iGO mas adaptado por nos "tugas")

Thanks for that I will check it for a uk version

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....
iGo Amigo
-- TTS
-- Signpost info
-- Lane info
-- Terrain

Copilot Live 8

I use TomTom because I own a TomTom PNA. So I get along with the mobile TomTom navigation best (did try several Navigation Software) - even I find the menu structure a bit pitty. iGo 8 has the best menu structure for me but I hate the "In 24,514884m and 51174 picometer please turn right!

Igo8 is the best for me with the kikker skin

huh? does it really says that ? i have never a bug or a mistake on my igo8

Imo Navigon MN7 is the best choice for Europe. It's quite cheap, works awesome in every point and it's fast (tried a route from Barcelona to Helsinki which is almost 2600 km air line, needed 3 seconds to calculate it; when you see a traffic jam in front of you, you just click "avoid this part of the route" and it gives you the bypass immediately), and there are map updates 4 times per year - NEVER had ANY problem with it. iGo 8 is similar - it's also brilliant but it's much more expensive - costs about MN7 twice.

Copilot 8 , 100 % compatible with HD2 .

Plus +1 CoPilot 8. I was VERY skeptical, but its works admirably - even though its redundant since my GS has onboard Nav anyway..

iGo8
Works perfect as is!
Tried others and simply they do not cut it for me. Keep it simple and it works.
Awsome!

iGo for me as well; I love the way it shows you the signpostings and the whole interface. And the fact it filters when you're typing a road name.

iGO8 forever
this is the best sw navigation for me
i use version with themechanger,gfx,tmc and other in my HD2
create by my friend Adrianx
mate...upgrade your poll
with Sygtic Mobile Map 10

How can i purchase Igo8? Do you have to order a cd or can you download it? Thanks.
