www.tomtom.com ;-)

if your using 3G you could also use Googlemaps for the phone.
for more information: http://www.google.com/mobile/gmm/index.html
point your phones browser to http://www.google.com/gmm

any freebies?

The only free one I know of is Googlemaps that I already spoke about. tTough you pay for the data downloaded via your ISP using 3G/Wifi.
tbh who would make a GPS Navigation application and ask nothing for it?

How about smart2go, you can download the maps for free of Europe and do navigation (on screen) all for free. The only bit you pay for is the voice prompts.
I use tomtom, but I've given it a go and it works pretty well. I'm planning on using it in greece later in the year as there's better coverage than the version of tomtom I have.
It's a little fiddly to get the map loader program to install the maps, but if you try and have a problem let me know and I'll try and find out what I did to get it working.

any source or link? download link?
i would like the tomtom version....actually everyone is talking bout it also.

http://www.smart2go.com (free)
or
http://www.tomtom.com (certainly not free!)

Hehehe.
I love all the answers skirting around what he's asking for...
Nobody can give you a link to Pirated software on this forum, sorry. Search Google for that.
Another FREE alternative is Microsoft Live Search. It's actually a pretty good GPS program if you look around in it. Also, it uses speech recognition to input what you are looking for. Give it a try.

Does My Location work on WM6.1? Yes or No?

Hey guys, I can't seem to get a solid answer on this so I had to ask again. Does My Location (on Google Maps) work with the WM 6.1 update? Thanks guys!
BIG ACH

no, it doesn't work at all on cruzzmz's ROM on my cavalier. it does work on 6.1, though, as i used it on my dash all the time (ricky's rom)

Thanks Dark Finger, this is exactly what I needed to know about cruzz's rom.
Btw, on the Dash I know it also works on 6.0 when you do the app unlock.

right, i never had problems on my Dash (and i started with WM5!)

Don't you need a GPS receiver for My Location to work?

google maps can do a pretty good job of figuring out your location from cell towers coordinates. So, you can use it to get a rough location even without gps hardware. Doesn't work on the cava tho....

has anyone tried this solution http://www.allshadow.com/2008/03/09/how-to-get-my-location-working-in-google-maps/
I tried the .cab but no luck for me. im kinda afraid to try the reg edit that they mention due to my lack of experience, but maybe on of you more brave individuals would like to give it a try?

Need Latest Version of Google Maps (4.1 ?)

My other half noted she had voice search (we both have Tilt 2's bought on the same day, same store etc..) She thought I installed it. I don't remember...
Bottom line... She has Google Maps version 4.1 and I have 4.0. I want 4.1, but when I go through the m.google.com/maps link, I only get 4.0.
The voice search works great on her tilt 2
Could someone point me in the direction of the cab for 4.1.x
Thanks in advance...

When I try to go to that url, it gives me a 404. Anyone else know where I can even download google maps?

I was finally able to find and downloaded 4.1 from RapidShare
http://rapidshare.com/files/37869392...ile.v4.1.0.CAB
It appears to be legit... I did have to restart the phone after install, and it's been working fine on my Tilt 2

[Q] Navigation doesn't work on my device, please help.

Hello,
I'm a proud owner of the HTC HD Mini and its a great device but I brought it to use it as a navigation system, I've tried several navigation softwares but none of them seems to work. (Navigon, Tom Tom, Route66, CoPilot etc.)
It installs correctly but when I try to run the application it keeps loading and freezes after some time.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks.

hi, i use Igo Primo and runs like a charm on hd mini (landscape only though ,for portrait it works Igo My way but primo looks better) you may find it using search function here or on Google ,you will find alot of updated maps too unlike some other softwers
here's a close link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690448

use Sygic Mobile Maps 10
http://www.sygic.com/index.php/en/compatible-devices.html

Both of them ain't working for me, anyone else?

Try TomTom and use ttn7.917.9186_qvga_black_cuckoo_NOBT, works perfect. At the moment i use the new maps 865.

sygic works great for me dude...try to format ur device...i can upload if u want...

If you are fresh owner of the Mini i more then strongly recommend u to return it back to the seller w/o declaring any reason (works usualy within few days from buy date) .. the most important part is DONT TAKE ANOTHER ONE IN EXCHANGE take the money, since Mini is **** phone even with Navigation ... its a junk phone no matter what, trust me i unfortunately own one too.
Good luck

Can anyone help me please?

Hello bertobasten,
I use HD MINI - TOMTOM VERSION 7915 MAP 8520_2820 ITA, and IGO PRIMO 8.5.11.168090 - November 17, 2010 - resolution 480x320 - if you put the appropriate files and not part igo primo, the problem is that you attach the file sys.txt

What GPS to use on defy CM7.1 official?

Hey ppl I just upgraded my defy the new CM7.1 official, now I'm looking for a GPS software to use here in brazil so, good brazil maps are important to me.
can you guys please give me your thoughts about what GPS should I use?
Also, I saw some ppl saying that CM7 does not support A-GPS is that true?
Thx in advance and best regards.

of course it supports A-GPS... as for maps, im using Google Maps and its working fine where i live (remote village of North-East India), i dont know about brazil...

In my opinion, there's not a real good gps app for android yet.
In my case, in Argentina, I use Sygic, Navitel (you can adapt Garmin maps to it) or Ndrive. Each of one has it pros and cons... try them!
Cheers,
Lucas.

Wrong! Igo works on Android and IMHO is the best navigational SW ever! For Motorola, it's called motonav You just need to upload content and license in a folder called motonav on your SD card, then get the motonav.apk and install. Just did it a few hours ago. Works like a charm.

thanks auris. installed igo myway yesterday and tested working very well today
any idea what's the difference between the motonav and myway?

I don't find any difference.

I use latest Sygic on my CM7.1. It has 74% Argentinian road network coverage ATM.
