hi all! i hope i didn't post in the wrong section:\
i'm looking for a navigator (tomtom, copilot or anything else) that can make me follow a route made with Tyre (and google maps) bringing me to the first waypoint.
for the moment the only one i found was OruxMaps but it's complicated and it is not a real navigator.
so..any other biker (or android user) know a solution for my problem?
thanks in advance
p.s. the routes i can create are in .kml .itn .gpx extension

For anybody that can utilize it, here is a link for a digital map of Australia, it doesnt go down to street numbers but looks useful all the same....and its free.

You could try Vito software, it at least has maps for Oz downloadable.

GPS map software review
I think I tried and bought (trial version never let you fully tested the software) the top 5 commonly used GPS software. I looked around for AU and NZ maps too, but they are either too expensive or not good enough (primitive).
Tom Tom v.2 (for Europe) - very good, and I think it is relatively very cheap. I bought it at least 2 years ago, and the software is already very useful and I can fit the maps in 1 SD card. It allows you to mark a start and end points, then it will guide you to either the quickest or shortest path.
PocketStreet 2002 (for US) - ok. Similar to Tom Tom but with point of interests. But it won't auto-span across 2 maps. i.e. if you travel from one city to another, you have to manually change maps. But it is very cheap and the map is free. I bet they already fixed the auto-span in the newer version.
MapKing 5 (for Asia) - very close to TomTom. I tried MapKing 7, it is even better. With 3D and very accurate street level map.
Vito (for Australia) - cheap but if you are looking for street level map, it is definitely NOT the software to go for. The map is also outdated. Basically waste of money.
Memory-Map (for NZ) - if you plan to the your laptop around, then it is an OK software. It is not built for PocketPC, I have the latest version but it is not even comparative as the others that I got years ago. You have to plan your own route. And the New Zealand North Island map alone is over 900MB, even if I can fit it in one SD card, how can I load it??? And it is sooooooooooooooooooo expensive.
I have not tried this one yet, may be you can have a go. http://www.maptrax.com.au/
... I need to buy different GPS software because I travel to different countries faster than the vendor can create / support maps for different countries!!
Hi, I've been trying to install my crack tomtom version and I was able to get though the point where it finds the map. However, only the belenux map works. My entire US maps just can't be found by Tomtom. I think I need new US maps in order to get Tomtom find the maps. Please share if you have them. Thanks a lot in advance.
Hi all,
I am trying to work out how to install the TomTom Navigator 5 Series maps onto the Polaris. It does not seem to be going very well. I was using these maps with the jamin and tomtom5. Do I really need to buy new maps? I hope not as these work and are perfectly good. Please could someone enlighten me please?
Kind Regards,
Will

I guess the problem is that you have tomtom 6 on tc and want to use tomtom 5 maps. You could try installing them using tomtom home. Or you could try uninstalling tomtom 6 from the tc and installing tomtom5. if u have bought the software and maps, you could email tomtom customer services and explain the problem (i.e. that u cannot transfer the maps on ur new device), maybe they could be of help.
hope this is helpful
TT5 works fine on my Touch Cruise. You first have to remove TT6 from the device. Then, copy the 4 CABs to a temporary dir on your SD-card and run them. Install the cards you need on a temporary dir on your PC and copy them to the SD-card.
I copied the card dirs from another device. All settings and speed cams where copied to my TC.
I hope this brief explanation will help you.

Thanks Joop and Jackster....
I have had a reply from tomtom........(info for anyone else)
"Dear Mr Richardson,
Thank you for contacting TomTom Customer Support with regards to your PDA.
Navigator 5 maps are unfortunately not compatible with the software of Navigator 6.
You will have to use the maps provided with navigator or buy new maps.
Please check the compatibility of your device , you could do tis by going to our website under PDA/Mobile"
Its a ****** scam! At least Microsoft aren't that bad! "Here buy Nav 5, (XP) whoops you have upgraded to Nav 6 (Vista) none of your programs work, sorry you have to buy them again!!!!!!
Brilliant Thanks Tomtom for the support and great service! What other people sell navigational software? (Rhetorical Question, PLease do not reply!)

Hello you fine bunch of people out there! I was wondering what was the best gps software for the tornado? And if someone can post a link to where I can find it.THANKS!!!
Use Route 66 Mobile 7 for Windows Mobile Smartphone
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
i had the same problem
Maps for PPC are not working
Maps for Symbian are not working
Please buy the apropiate map
Here WAREZ is not allowed

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
I have successfully flashed my first rom onto my new Fuze. My question is how to get the gps going for driving? I have these apps in the gps folder-
chartcross gps
htc gps tool
visual gpsce
quick gps
google maps
Don't know what I need to do here, seems all of these just run tests. Does anyone know of a free, easy to use app for driving? I am in the US. Please let me know via reply or pm.
Thanks again to everyone on the forum for all of the help!
i think you are looking for a navigation software, there is a number of them that you can install, from the professional, TomTom, Garmin, iGO, these are for money, and others are available that are (still) free, e.g. Navit and nav4all. google maps can help in the begining as it can give directions (no audio). and i still continue to use now to search for addresses of places to go to.
Thanks, I'll give Navit a try...
Do you have a favorite?
TomTom is currently the one
Why did you post this in general? although it does classify as a general GPS question, you probably would get more replies if you posted it in the Raphael Software forum.
My current favorite Navigation software is iGO8.
ALSO if you have a data plan, enable aGPS, it helps you get a GPS lock faster and keep your quickGPS up to date.
