Ive looked for a ported version of S2U2 for Android but no luck. What I need is the appointment notification for my calendar. Is there a widget that will do this?

With widget locker, a paid app, you can put your calendar (or any) widget on the lock screen. I bought it but not using it. It has seemed a little buggy for me.

Thanks for the heads up. If S2U2 would port it, I would buy it. Hope there listening.
Sent them an e-mail a year ago. Never got a response. Android has it's advantages but there are still some things I miss from WinMo.

I also tried a few days ago, but have not heard back.
Even though I have an Inspire Im still on my Tilt-2.
Here's why,
1, S2U2
2, Garmin XT. (no broadband required)
I use my T2 mainly for business, I need the appointment notification on my locked screen, and my G-XT. If I can get both of those going on Android I would switch.
Yeah, there are things WinMo did that I still haven't found an Android app or setting to replace. Only been a year though, was on WinMo longer. Still get a kick out of my Stewie voiced Garmin whenever I fire it up on my eXpo.
Sent using the power of the dark side.
With an app such as "Lockscreen Agenda Pro" or "Lockscreen Agenda Free" (Free version has ads) you can have your appointments displayed on the lockscreen.
And there are a few good replacements for Garmin XT with Android. Sygic (sometimes called Aura) is one of my favorites. My other favorite is Navigon which is a Garmin company. And very comparable to Sygic. And my third choice is NDrive.
I still have my HD2 and have been a Garmin fan for a long time. I have Garmin XT loaded on my HD2. I also have a 7" Kenwood/Garmin touchscreen receiver in my Avalanche. But these other apps are just as good if not better and way more features than good ole Garmin XT.

Do any of the navigation programs you mention require a data/broadband connect?
As you know G-XT only requires a GPS connect, and since I do not have a data (dont need it) plan Im good to go.
Thanks for the Lockscreen Agenda suggestion.
All 3 of those can be used without data just like Garmin XT. The maps are saved on the SD card.
I gave the Lockscreen Agenda (free) shot but had to uninstall. It worked but I could no longer code lock my lockscreen. Also, for some strange reason it disabled my home icon (little house lower left.) The only way I could get back to my home screen was to use the back space icon... Tap tap tap.
I also have been playing with Sygic v11.2.6, and Navigon v3.6.0.
Sygic is iffy at best. Is a bit buggy and not all that accurate. I live in a metro area so its a good testing ground. The Navigation is a lot better in many ways. Its been spot on for now. Still, neither can compare to the Garmin XT. If I were going on a trip, no doubt, I would take my Tilt-2. While Navigon is running fine I still don't trust it... For now.
Note: Ive read quite a few reports that the Navigon v4.1.1 is very buggy and the last stable issue was v.3.6.0. They have also piecemealed the extras. In other words some of the extras that came with the app now they are charging for which is pissing a lot of people off.
I have Navigon 4.0.1 and Sygic 11.2.0 and have not encountered any issues yet.
Im not sure how much you use your Navigon but Im having a few issues. The first one is Navigon seems to be a bit slow on the start, even when the satellites are hooked up. I usually have to stop and re-enter my destination, though I only have to do this once. secondly is accuracy. Today I set it up for a location, again I had to stop to re-enter. It then took be to the wrong location. The actual location was about half a mile down the road. I had the G-XT running the same time. It had no problem running right out of my parking lot, and took me to the correct location.

I have installed TomTom and tried almost every version that can be found on XDA but for some reason i get an error when i try to calculate a route. Every time i get an error message like "Fault calculating route". As i said, i have tried so many versions and even the one that was provided on the disks that came with my Cruise (Polaris) but i get always this error. Any suggestions?

After a few days, I had the same problem without changing anything! I also tried to install other TT versions but it didnt work.
My solution was, delete the map (in my case Benelux, NL + BE) and put a clean or other map back. After that it worked well! I hope this will help you! GL!
Good morning. May not be the answer your looking for, and it's not without it's own problems (you've been warned), but I'll mention it in case your interested.
I got my first color cell / pocket pc when Sprint finally released the PPC-6601. It had a LOT of problems, the biggest of which was it would loose ALL installed programs and data if the battery was removed. And since the device had TERRIBLE battery life, I bought an extended battery that wasn't quite perfect. HOWEVER, I did buy a piece of software for that device that has been a STAPLE on EVERY phone / pocket pc I've owned since... iGuidance.
Now, I'll freely admit I've never owned a Tom Tom device. Looked at them in the stores, played with them a little, but never really was that interested. Recently I tried a Garmin app on the BlackJack II I bought when my AT&T 8525 died. I guess it was ok, but I wasn't really happy with the interface or functionality, and THAT'S why I decided to spend the bigger bucks on the Touch Cruise.
Simply put, iGuidance is the best GPS software I've used. The route calculations are spot on, it adapts quicker than other apps when you miss a turn, etc. It gives you turn-by-turn directions including street names. And I believe it's tne best program for the money. I started with 2.1, went to 3, and now run version 4 on my Touch Cruise. It was somewhat confusing to setup, as you end up dragging an entire folder directly to your memory card. But with that 1.3GB or so transfer, you move the ENTIRE US to your pocket PC. No more moving a couple states, but what happens if you need to go somewhere you forgot to load maps for, etc.
Anyway, you might want to give it a look. Whether using an external BT GPS with my older phone, or installing GPSGate on my HTC Touch Cruise so iGuidance will work properly with the built-in GPS... it really is the only program I'd recommend.
Good luck!
see ur PM........
i hate tomtom. i live in nyc and thw nyc maps for tomtom never knows where i am. i tried searching and adress in brooklyn and the **** doesnt even know where it was.

well, here in europe it works perfect.
u can try IGO but i dont know if they have us maps
Hey folks, I actually came across this thread by searching "tomtom sucks" in google, after being screwed once again by this *****.
Another thing that I found within the same search is reference to the Garmin navigation software, which I did not try yet but prospects are quite promising, including free traffic info via TMC and free map updates.
So my suggestion is to try that.
I know that there are currently a lot of gripes about the GPS hardware on the Raph. Granted that's the case and given also differences in regional performace and accuracy of mapping applications (live, google, tomtom, etc):
What is your favorite Mapping app to run on the Raph?
Bonus: If you're on ATT have you tried the Navigator service? I'm wondering if it provides any improvements, which I suppose would, to some, be worth the cost?
Personally I am getting pretty comfortable with Live on my WIZARD (*sniff*) but can't wait to have actual onboard GPS.
Thanks all!
BK
The mapping software you've listed cannot be compared. Live search and google are good places to find businesses and services as well as see movie listings gas prices and even street views now. TT, garmin, IGO are there to give you specific instructions how to get to addresses or coordinates eliminating the need for internet service by having pre loaded maps.
Not to mention exact location. Really hated Google Maps telling me where I'm around...and finding Pois "around where I'm somewhat located" on such a small screen is cumbersome. Igo8 (Mio/Ocn) is hands down the best one-(once you get past its lag)
1. 3d terrain
2. 3d buildings
3. TTS
4. Sys.txt customization is a beautiful thing.
5. Huge Poi database
6. Several skins inform you where a poi is based on GPS location (and tells you in which direction)
7. Direct dial a POI from Igo8 w/o having to exit program.
Start w/ igo8, can't go wrong...

Do you know of a way to get iGo to give you routes like Garmin?
If I try to route the 5 hour trip to my parent's house, Garmin will give me a logical route with the shortest time. iGo will give me a route that it says will take an hour longer and take me out of the way.
Oddly enough, iGo's route is the same that Google Maps shows, even though the Garmin one is supposed to be the fastest time.
And I've tried both the Fastest route and Shortest route.
I love iGo, but I'm not 100% sure about its routing.
Have you tried out igo's and/or Garmin's suggested route? I'm sure you know how to get to your destination w/o gps--but sometimes Igo does make sense...which one do you find most logical? With regards to the time differences, how current are both of your maps? That may make a difference.
Odd story of mine, googled how to get from No. VA to Niagara falls. It set out a nice interstate route that would most be described as a half moon...Igo plotted a straight route all the way (yes...even through the boondocks) with the same time estimate. Tried one going up, the other coming down...and no differences in est. arrival time! I swore that my interstate 85mph travel would get me there faster...the Cletus way worked just as well...
Well unfortunately neither one of them do the complete interstate route since it supposedly takes 10-15 minutes longer (since you go further out of the way), but its an easier drive.
I guess both make sense, and they might be close in times, but I don't know how the ETA can be so different unless iGo adds in something that Garmin doesn't.
The only way that route should take 6+ hours is with stops for gas and stops. iGo doesn't estimate how many times you need to stop for gas does it? lol
I might try it again next time I go there (at the end of the month) and switch between the two and see what happens.
EDIT: Both apps use the latest Navteq maps (same version).
Great response! I'll try Igo8 as soon as my Raph/Fuze lands!
Sweeney Russ: As you point out the software I ask about is definitely not the same. But since my current Wizard doesn't have GPS I'm limited in what I can use with just the internet connection. Can't wait to try out a real GPS solution and it sounds like Igo will be the one to get first.
Thanks all for your replies!
Has anyone come across a free GPS program that caters to hiking/raster/ortho imagery?
I was using my Tilt for hiking tips but roads are not really necessary. Is anyone using ESRI ArcPad on their Fuze? I was using it on my Tilt (30 day trial) and created a few good road maps, but noticed the Fuze has trouble finding the GPS receiver through ArcPad and the app doesn't fit entirely on the screen as it did with my old Tilt.

I see you can only use IGO8 with a SDCARD? That kinda sucks.
Hi guys,
I just got my FUZE on Friday, and spent the last 4 days setting it up! It's almost done! What an incredible machine!!
Anyways, I've always used iGuidance to find places. It's worked for me since the first version. I just set it up, and it's working well. The infamous Raph GPS lag has not prevalent over the past few days. It seems to be as good as my TyTN with an external BT receiver.
The maps are extremely accurate, too. There is a new 2009 version that I am curious about.
In any case, I'd love to hear more quick opinions about TomTom, Route66, etc. etc.
As I said, I am quite happy with iGuidance, but am always on the lookout for better warez!

Well, I just got my fuze, and right now there is a 30 day free trial of AT&T Navigator, everytime I have tried to "Speak" just my city and state, Snohomish, WA it tells me I want to go to utah, and finding a store like Fred Meyer just wasn't on there, on a good note when it notices you taking another route off the way, it tends to re-route within seconds, most of the time just telling you to make a U-Turn, this is my first GPS, so I have nothing to compare it to... I would suggest trying it for the 30 day free trial, but, I am not sure if I want to keep it past the 30 days...

No ,,, the maps are downloaded through the cell towers...you don't have static maps.... It does use the gps...
I use tomtom mobile, great piece of software lots of POIs and options, maps are stored on my sd card which is great I think, they dont take more then 1.3gb. Although tomtom drains my battery pretty good, I dont care since I have a car charger (you can pick one up from ebay for $3.18 or get one in walmart for $9). If you dont care much about piracy I suggest going to demonoid if you have an account and downloading the tomtom and all the directions on how to set it up are included in the torrent.

Turn by turn guidance with tts and a working gps far from cell towers. Also lot more options to plan a trip including simulation.
Well I have 3G service, what programs are good to get? The first one on the page mentioned sounds great, but it also sounds slow and crappy.
For these GPS software with pre-loaded maps, you don't need data connection. I use iGO 8, also tried Garmin Mobile XT. They both work well but iGO has TTS and much better visual. Tomtom comes pre-loaded in some and the software is available for free (I saw some links in this forum), so just buy a map for your country/region and you are good to go.
I often travel through some areas where I do not have phone coverage and so the Google navigation will not work for me.
What is the best GPS navigation software for android? I need something that saves maps locally.
Aslo, is there a way to save google maps to my SD card for trips where I may not have coverage?

Co Pilot has a version in market place with Aussie maps. I bought it, and it's worth the $60 I paid for it. I had been a long term tomtom on winmob user and find that co pilot does everything I used on tomtom.

I have both Sygic an Copilot - aussie versions. Whilst Copilot has a nicer interface, I cannot say enough good things about Sygic. When I was on my HTC Magic, and installed Cyanogens first 1.6 rom, I emailed them for help because neither worked with GPS enabled (due to it not being a released OS yet). The Copilot response was 'Once it's released, we will support it' - or something to that effect (at least that's how th response felt to me). The Sygic developer contacted me straight away, and for the next 2 weeks he sent me update after update until it finally started working - and in the end had to install Cyanogens mod himself to do so.
That's what I call support! Also, I actually prefer the Sygic interface, it feels less cluttered, and more...whats the word? Intuitive. ie, where you expect an option to be, it seems to be. Copilot for all it's bells and whistles, I don't think of it as an intuitive program. Intuitive programming is a must on mobile devices given limited screen space, and Sygic hits it for me.
EDIT: Add to that, Sygic is faster
Which version to download for north America? There are 3 in the marketplace. 2 for Europe and 1 for Australia and new Zealand
Google Nexus One - Navigon/beta+CoPilot+Google Navigation/beta
CyanogenMod-5.0-beta4 + addons and highmem.
iPhone 3GS 32GB/white - Navigon/beta+TomTom+CoPilot+iGO+Sygic

I have to add to this, not only is Sygic better in my opinion, but CoPilot has some awful disadvantages for me.
1. Does not follow one way restrictions on roads in my hometown (Baltimore, MD). Roads that have always been one way (for 100 years). Major confidence breaker.
2. When contacted about poor directions (citing one way restrictions not being followed), they stated it would take a few months to get an update sent out. YIKES!
That's really enough to be a deal breaker for me.
Sygic has never led me astray, even in foreign states where I am not familiar with the roads. I can't trust CoPilot to do so, as such I got a refund within my 24 hour period.

Could you please tell me how was the experience of using iGO in android compare to Windows Mobile?
thanks
I use Copilot, which is rather good, considering its cost. Sometimes it seems to give slightly too late of a notification to turn on an exit, and sometimes it thinks that a one-way road is a two-way one, but overall it's good, if one adapts to its minor quirks. I haven't tried anything else (besides Google Maps and Google Earth), so I don't know whether it's the best, though.

While it not perfect, it is one heck of an improvement. I find that for around town navigating, without the need to aquire (hack/dl/etc) a specialized program like iGo or TomTom, it does o.k.
It pulls addresses either from a web search, or it pulls addresses from your contacts. It is really handy for casual use.
Now that MS has released Turn by Turn, hopefully Google will release one for google maps. Then I can get just one more piece of MS garbage off my Topaz! All and all, aside from taking too long to startup and having redundent home screen search options, the turn by turn works very well. I prefer Google because it interfaces with Sense and is much faster and smoother. But thanks for the post, this is a must have until GM releases theirs!

JD, seems they removed that feature. One option would be to save Gasbuddy.com to your favs in Bing but it would still have to pull up through your browser.
Hi Bruce, hope you are doing well.
I have been using gas buddy in lieu of Bing Mobile since this occured. I am looking through my DOWNLOAD TO PURE files on my laptop to see if I can find my old Bing to re-install. Hmmmm, maybe I can look in my backup files to find it, since I did not backup after downloading the new Bing.
In our spare time we RV and our motorhome has a FURD V-10, so buying cheap gas is a major concern. At least the gas is cheaper than the Diesel fuel I had to put in the International truck (120 gallons) when we were pulling a 5th Wheel trailer (20k pounds).
Let me know if you still need the old bing cab, i have it.

2 thumbs up for Bing Voice Navigation. 1 up google maps, the other up iphone bing app.
Finally, Microsoft made an app that is better for WM than the iphone.
I tested it out and found that it keeps running in the background if you are on a phone call and picks up right when you end the call!!!!

Does anyone on here use COPILOT LIVE 8 USA? I have some issues and I wonder if anyone else can add some comments as to how to resolve? I have sent these to COPILOT SUPPORT but no response yet.. I am hoping to get all of these resolved:
1. I am alerted that I am at my destination BEFORE I actually get there. It also doesn’t tell me LEFT or right or ahead is my destination. Can this be resolved?
2. I tested 2 addresses today with COPILOT and a GARMIN GPS. The Garmin was dead on while COPILOT was lost and had be going in circles. This was while I was in a development with a LOT of little side streets. Can this be fixed?
3. when you get to your destination, it doesn’t give you the option to CLEAR the route. It asks me what I want to do but if I close the BOX, since I don’t want to do any of that, it keeps the route I am on. I noticed this as I use COPILOT to get home. Then today, I turned on copilot and it still said it was running the route to my house. I couldn’t find any way to clear it except to delete next stop. Then it cleared the route. I also see no way to click CANCEL ROUTE if you decide you don’t want to navigate to where you set. My Garmin has an "X" that I can hit to cancel route.
4. Program is missing a LOT of POI's .. For instance, I was sitting in a parking lot of WAL-MART which has been there for many years. It didn’t know this Wal-Mart existed. It did know about other ones nearby but not this one. Same with TARGET, I was sitting in a target parking lot and it didn’t know target was there.
5. Routing is wrong on some trips.. Sometimes it will tell me to turn left when you can't or when LEFT is the completely wrong way to go. How to fix?
6. I entered in SPEED TRAP DATA but it NEVER alerts me to any of them. I said YES to the fact I was importing SPEED TRAP data but it never did anything.. MEANWHILE, my Garmin did alert me.
7. It would be nice if I could pull addresses out of my EVO 4G address book so I don’t have to re-type them in and also if you could do voice entry of the data Like GOOGLE and SPRINT navigation already do.
8. It appears the maps are SEVERAL YEARS out of date. How do I get updated maps?
9. If I want to select a POI to travel to... I select the category, then pick my POI or type in the name.. Lets say WALMART. Then I find the walmart but then decide that wasn’t what I wanted. I then hit my back arrow on my phone and select a different category or maybe just type in a different name of a POI. When I then search for the new one, it brings me to the orig category and POI and NOT the new one. I have to completely back out back the main screen of copilot and then start over with finding a POI. I have to do this every time..
I hope someone can help resolve these issues... Thanks...
1. CoPilot alerts you with an audible alert slightly before the exact destination. I don't know why. But there is no fix for it, as I doubt they consider it a problem. CoPilot does not tell you that the destination is on the left or right. If you look closely on the map though for the destination flag, it will be drawn on the left or right side of the road. You can tell from that.
2. Read the review in the Android Market and Apple App Store for ALK's products in the US. ALK' maps are notoriously bad and out of date. They try and do their maps in-house instead of buying them from Navteq or TeleAtlas. As a result, customers suffer, but you also pay less.
3. ALK has known about this issue for a LONG time. I personally have sent the issue to them a year ago. The only way to cancel the route is to select the "remove next waypoint" option, or something to that effect, don't recall the exact name.
4. Same issue as the maps. They are bad. Try using the Google Search instead of the POI search within the app.
5. Buy a different app. The maps are bad, these are the repercussions of that.
6. Traffic camera alert functionality works. I have used it in the past. Don't say what you did wrong, but that function does work.
7. Don't hold your breath.
8. You don't. The maps are what they are. You can submit errors and they will correct them within 45 days supposedly. But when you are starting with maps as bad as they are, you'd be submitting problems every time you use the product.
9. Can't help you with that one.

Does anyone on here use COPILOT LIVE 8 USA? I have some issues and I wonder if anyone else can add some comments as to how to resolve? I have sent these to COPILOT SUPPORT but no response yet.. I am hoping to get all of these resolved:
1. I am alerted that I am at my destination BEFORE I actually get there. It also doesn’t tell me LEFT or right or ahead is my destination. Can this be resolved?
2. I tested 2 addresses today with COPILOT and a GARMIN GPS. The Garmin was dead on while COPILOT was lost and had be going in circles. This was while I was in a development with a LOT of little side streets. Can this be fixed?

Thanks. Is there any app like copilot live usa that works? I love the features of copilot over google and sprint navigation. actually it would be nice if I could find and app similar to copilot and my garmin rolled into one.

What about the navigon app?
edit- apparently navigon is also bad. is there any good paid navigation app?

I wouldn't say that Navigon is bad. It is just very v1.0 as far as features goes. Biggest issue is that there is no app2sd. It is Navteq data so it is as good as it gets from that perspective. They have yet to announce a map update policy either.

Does it work in USA? I dont see USA maps talked abut on their site..
Yes, Navigon has a US app.
tried Navigon and it stinks. WHILE the maps and routing is better and traffic seems to be included, its missing a lot of things that copilot does.. the POI icons on navigon and the map as so small you cant read anything while driving. AND in 3D mode, there are NO STREET NAMES. You also can not see a list of directions so you do not know what route is is taking you on. It DOES have some nice features though, but NOT at $61.00 .. My issue now, is trying to get a refund since it took almost 2 hours to download maps which is more then the 15 minute time limit. In fact, once I tested the program for 10 minutes driving I decided COPILOT, even with some of its flaws is better ... M probably have to call credit card company to get refund...
is there ANY program that is worthy of buying for a navigation program? or do I stick to my old garmin?
Your main options are Google Navigation, CoPilot, Navigon or Sprint Navigation. I've used them all. I also have a Garmin 885t and a TomTom 740 Live. I've owned about 6 other devices over the years. I can tell you that Google Navigation is my primary GPS at this point. I like it a lot. I miss nothing from my Garmin. I only miss the ability to detour specific segments of the route from TomTom. I miss nothing from Sprint Navigation. I deleted Navigon. It took way too much room and didn't have app2sd. I have CoPilot installed as a backup should I not have a connection to use Google Navigation. I will remove it and reinstall Navigon if it ever gets app2sd.
im rooted so I was able to put NAVIGON on the SD card. I just dont like some things, which I mentioned. Im actually trying another program that has a 7 day trial and is free from the market for the trial. Its called AURA. it says it uses the latest TOM TOM MAPS.. I ASSUME they are up to date. it also has traffic and other stuff.. Looks good on the web sites BUT I havent tested it yet as I am downloading some of the maps. this program also supports APP2SD without the trick I did for navigon..
so I am playing with AURA but It appears it doesnt speak street names.. thats a deal breaker... I have a support request in to see if it actually does this. I hope it does. it is one heck of a nice program... IM using the USA version
EDIT: Looks like it doesnt speak street names.. I have a support question to ask about this. This program would be AWESOME if it did. its got the NEWEST TOM TOM MAPS and it does almost everything I want. the NON SPEAKING STREET NAMES is a DEAL BREAKER.. I hope they answer my question and fix that issue...
