Download the file, un-zip the files from the archive, connect to your device and copy the files to the memory or the memory card.
On your device run 'File Explorer', browse to the files and then touch and hold the file name then select copy. Next browse to device>windows>Start Menu>Programs then in an empty area of the screen touch and hold and select 'Paste Short-cut' Now the program will show in start menu.

Thank you for this piece of software!
I'm looking for a Windows Mobile application for my Artemis that logs the GPS coordinates when I'm movin. It sould be posible to import these coordinates into Google Earth Pro and see the route I've made.
Who knows a program that can do this ?

i dont know your device. the requirements are on the page i linked:
Windows Mobile 2003 or Windows Mobile 5.0
Windows Mobile 6.0 compatible
so if you have one of these i'd say it will work (but that's just a directed guess )

Cttransnb,
Thanks for the tools. The sms piece works very nice...For the GPSViewer, the speed is wrong on my p3300. It shows 56km/hr while i was doing 110+km/hr. I think the scale is wrong...by 1/2...do you have this problem? Second problem is the GPSViewer dump a GPStxt file on the system and if you not careful, the file will keep growing...and growing...
I think there is a later version...no? Can u tell me the software vendor for the GPSViewer? Can u check to see it there is some other files missing?
Thanks,
p3300...OS 3.7 from HTC...thinking of moving to B&B4.0....

P3300 Sat Nav software
Hi,
Need a bit of help, have a HTC P3300 Artemis Premium, on which my wife haas somehow managed to completely uninstall the sat-nav software. IS there any way to get this re-0installed on the unit without having to send back to the manufacturer?

whats the name of the software?
TomTom Software can be downloaded for free directly from the Homepage.
Only the maps cost money!

If you hard reset the Artemis it will re-install the TomTom application when the device boots up, you will loose all data stored on the device doing this though.
For the maps etc you will need to install them from the DVD that came with the Artemis, once you get it up and running again connect the unit to the PC and let TomTom Home look for the software upgrade to 6,030 - which it should download and install - Mike

GPS Software for Elf

Hi,
Was just wondering if anyone had a recomendation for a good GPS porgram? I'm looking for good mapping rather than road directions. Google Maps Mobile is great, but not so good when I'm out of range from a cell tower...
Thanks for your help
smckane

GPS program
TomTom 6 with 6.75 map ( the best, for me)
Navigon 6 ( nice but slower with elf)
Route 66 gps (

Thanks for the sugestions giovanniriccio, but those are all road directions programs, and I don't drive (yet, sadly). Looking for something I can use when out walking / on my bike.
Cheers

How about OziExplorer?
http://www.oziexplorer.com/
Is that what you're looking for? You will need to supply your own (scanned or digital) maps, but if you have those (or find it in gps-forums): it worked great on my HTC Magician. Haven't installed it to my touch yet, though, so I can't promise it will work, and if you don't have the maps in the right format, it can be a bit of a pain in the ass to get it all right.

I myself use Navigon more so then TOM TOM (I have both installed) only because I like the interface a bit better... and waiting an additional 3 seconds to have the program load or another 3 for a route to load in comparision to Tom Tom isn't that big of a deal for me.
However, that said. TomTom 6 and Navigon both give you the option to choose your method of transport, So you can choose walking route or biking instead of driving a car.
Navigon has these options: Fast Car, Standard Car, Slow Car, Motorbike, Lorry, Bicycle, Pedestrian. Now as far as I know it doesnt have walking paths programmed into it it just uses these settings to give you an estimate on how long till you reach your destination.
Same for Tomtom however it's options are as follows; Fastest Routes, Shortest Routes, Walking Routes, and Bicycle routes. I've never used any of these features so now sure how they really work BUT they are there.
Like I was saying about the load up time between the two, depending on what type of Touch you have will likely make a difference because honestly I've barely noticed a difference as far as route loading times but that could be because I have the touch enhanced so it runs fairly fast.
Hope this helps!

Memory-Map
Memory map is brilliant for mountian biking and walking.
http://www.memory-map.com/
30 day trial available and good quality maps (UK, France) available or you can import. Runs on PC and PPC so you can dowload and analyse your routes

I'd second Memory Maps, it has worked brillantly for me on a number of WM devices including the touch. It can be a bit pricey for maps, but Memory maps navigator is free and can import and calibrate scanned maps.

Thank you
Lots of options to play with over the Christams holidays!
Cheers!

Hey Guys...
Heres a link to the Cube Icons thread I made. If you go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351551&page=4
you'll find not only icons for the aplauncher for TomTom and Navigon but I also made some Icons for the mediahub panel of the cube as well.

Anyone know how to fix the "No maps found!" TomTom error? I'm currently using TomTom 6.203 (7220) with USA/Canada maps version 6.75 (1409). I have the maps folder in my microSD card.

No Maps Found
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, dos any body know how to fix, you cannot get into settings to look for maps, it just takes you to tomtom download page

Not sure if this will help but I had had the problem on my treo before and I just simply took the map off and brought it back onto the SD card.
I'm also not sure if the placement of the map has anything to do with it but I had originally had it in the TOMTOM folder. When I moved it to the root menu of the SD card it read the map fine.
Right now I'm running Tomtom 6.010 (7720) and my map is "USA and Canada 675_1409'

I found the solution in another thread from kunz:
Disable Bluetooth Explorer from Settings -> Connections -> Bluetooth -> Bluetooth FTP
It causes TomTom to think that the bluetooth folder is your storage card and tries to load map from there. Disabling it should do the trick.

This worked out instantly for me.

You guys may also want to try Navigon Navigator for your phone. I have the latest version 6.2 and it runs super smooth has a way nicer interface then tom tom and has voice control so you can actually just press a button on the phone and say "navigate home" and the program does the route and stuff for you. Its a great feature to use instead of flipping through your favorites or something like that.
I have both tomtom and Navigon on my touch. I use Navigon more however I have noticed that they both sometimes find different routes. On that occasion I noticed tomtoms routes are a little quicker (by say a few minutes... but that could simply be because it calculates the estimated time a bit different) Either way.. something to check out at least. Look up some information on the program and check out screen shots of it. You can tell right away the interface and maps themselves look alot nicer then tomtoms. Both seem to be about the same as far as up to date maps go.

Question!
OK Guys, please excuse my noob question, but as far as I know the Touch does not have GPS. Do you use external Bluetooth GPS devices or how do you use all these apps?

Yes, bluetooth gps. I use GlobalSat BT-359, and I'd like to buy one day "Freedom Keychain GPS SiRF III Receiver" or maybe the small Holux GPS Receiver.
As for software doing maps, there are plenty. I know of: googlemaps, gpstuner, gloposis and sometimes the necessary companion 'gpsgate'. Recently gpstuner got google maps support built in, but I haven't tried (previously one had to build maps oneself for gpstuner).

With a bluetooth gps would it work with garmin maps topo or road maps?

I use GlobalSat BT-359, with Windows Live, along with Microsoft Voice Command 6.1, you can actually tell it where you want to go. The mapping software works fine. The only occasional problem I have, and maybe someone has an answer for this, is it takes a while (5 minutes sometimes), to sync with the GPS "puck". Sometimes closing and reopening the app. several times helps it along. Once in a rare while it will lose the port, as well. I am using port 1. Does anyone have a solution to this? Otherwise, it works great when everything is sync'd.
thanks. Gary

Why not try the "Igo My way 2006 plus"
Igo My way 2006 plus works great with my Touch and it alerts me on approaching the speed cameras. You should try it out. The maps are much more detailed then on other Gps software i used. If you want to use it and you don't find a trial, plz pm me and i will help.
p.s. you have to own a Bt. Gps receiver.

That software looks pretty cool, but I don't see any mention of maps for US/Canada on their website... Do these exist, or is it just for European users?
Thanks....

Garmin GPS Unlocked on PPC - Complete Guide

First of all I want to thank all the members on different forums, who posted suggestions and files. I just read read and read for 3 days trying to make it work on my TYTN II. I finally did it and wanted to combine all the info in one post so lots of other members can benefit from it.
So here we go, please follow all the steps carefully and slowly….
1. Get “Garmi Mobile XT V4PPC” from mininova.
2. Remove any previous garmin installations completely from your ppc.
3. Download A. GarminMobileXTforPocketPcwithGPS10_4100wBeta.exe
B. GarminMobileXTforWindowsMobile_41040w.exe
4. From pc install A to ppc and DO NOT install or run on ppc when a window appears to do so.
5. From pc install B to ppc and install and run when window appears on ppc. When program runs , it will start looking for gps device. Cancel it, go to Settings then to About and write down your 10 digit Device ID.
6. Run GarmiMobile XT V4PPC key generator on pc and put your device id and generate SW key and Map Key ( Garmin city navigator nt 2008 ).
7. Open note pad. Copy and past both keys one by one and save them as SW.UNL and GMAPSUPP.UNL.
This is a critical point. In your windows explorer uncheck HIDE FILE EXTENSIONS. NOW MAKE SURE THAT BOTH FILES DO NOT HAVE txt EXTENSION AT THE END. THEY HAVE TO BE UNL FILES.
8. Transfer these UNL files to your ppc in Garmin folder.
9. Now run Garmin from your ppc, it should be able to detect your GPS now. You do not have to be outside at this point.
Installing the Maps.
1. Download Garmin City Navigator North America NT 2008 from piratesbay. Install on your computer and run. It will ask for the unlock code, put GNG55-L8WSA-S7YET-9U246-GJFQT.
2. That should unlock the mapsource. Select your maps to be transferred, save it on desktop on pc.
3. Name newely made map file GMAPSUPP.IMG ( no txt extensions ).
4. Delete GMAPSUPP.UNL and GMAPBMAP.IMG from your ppc in Garmin directory and load new GMAPSUPP.IMG from your pc to ppc.
That’s it guys you should be able to use the maps now.
Thanks once again to all the kind souls out there who made it possible.

I cannot seem to find the file from mininova. Can someone contact me so that I can get it and host it for others?

Was able to find all files and trying to install now.

Good luck guys guys. File should be on mininova.....

IT WORKS! But I had to leave GMAPSUPP.UNL on my ppc or Garmin Mobile XT would say that it could not unlock the map. Thanks for the instructions Tararura!
BTW: Im using it on a hw6955.

Good job coolcut....

Can you post
Hey,
I would like to thank you, thats amazing i have been trying to make this work for a while. I do have a suggestion though why down you post the files all togther for everybody to have. including the instructions that you have provided.
I have tried to search for the files but i can not seem to find them.
Thanks again...

The Files
Hi guys
Carry on................

Garmin Vs TomTom Vs iGuidance
How do you compare them especially on accuracy of routing and maps? Had used a friend's iGuidance 4 on X51v with WM6 briefly, I like its easy to use and the Text to Speech function but routing accuracy was poor in a lot of places since version 1.1. I have used TT6 for over a year now, generally routing is acceptable though its not optimal routing all the time. Between the 2, I opted for routing accuracy and map accuracy.
I have never used Garmin before, so how is its routing and map status. How old or how update is Garmin map. I need more information before I shell out $140 for the Garmin map.

HI there
I have TT and Garmin installed right now on TYTN II . I also used Mio/iGo on TYTN II. The best of all is Garmin. Its accuracy is the best. Graphics are not that great like TT. Garmin tells you if the destination is on Left or Right when you are close to reaching it. TT is not that accurate, once it told me that my address was still 2 blocks away when I already had reached it.
Another cool thing in Garmin is that once you set the addresses in Garmin for your Contacts. You can open contacts in your phone and then you have an option to route to it through Garmin.
Menus are simple in Garmin than TT. and Garmin has more POI like I could not find Tim Hortons in TT but Garmin was showing all of them.
Personally I like Garmin very much for its accuracy

I like TT6 because of better routing accuracy not destination accuracy as it does not matter too much for me if I am a house or 2 away. I bought GPS navigation softwares starting from 2001, none was satisfactory and I found TT6 had slightly better routing (sometimes I got wrong routing from TT6 as well but comparatively less than other software I owned). I settle for TT6 as a compromise, it lacks of storage capacity for Favorites.
It seems that you are quite happy with Garmin. I will problly try Garmin.

Yes try it , you will like it better.

what is the coverage for europe (countries, %)

Don't know but there are some European maps you can download for it.

i am using artemis, and i have copied sw.unl to garmin folder,.
when the device try to search, he try to search on my com port (com 4) but nothing happend, the satellite was not found (keep searching),.
any ideas???
thanks b4

this soft works in a HTC TyTN 2?

TomTom Missing Maps

Hi all,
Have a problem with TomTom on my device - It's a proper install and paid for just to start with.
On the storage card, I have the folder United Kingdom for the UK and ROI maps which is where TomTom HOME installed them too, and the folder is still there now.
When I launch TomTom it says there are no maps available. When I connect the phone to TomTom HOME on the PC it shows my POI's, Voices etc installed, but no maps, but as I say, the folder for the maps exists on the storage card and the files all look to be there.
The trouble I have is that I can't find my TomTom CD at the moment to re-install because my other half had a tidy up the other day and I think she's hidden it somewhere without knowing it.
I'm going to try to find the CD, but I wondered if anyone knows what the reason could be without be having to dig the whole house up. I know it's not releated to Bluetooth Explorer which is an issue I had previously as this is disabled.
Thanks in advance.

Something I have actually just thought of - Do any of the TomTom files use a format that WMP would pick up, because I was putting some music on my phone earlier and I cleared out al the old stuff from the library before hand?
Just a thought.

Maps, Navigator

Hi, I'm looking for a google maps style program which I can actually download a map pack for to use to navigate to places... I don't have gps and I don't want to use the internet, I just want to do a search for a street address.
I live in Australia and was wondering if anyone knew a good program which would suite me?
Thanks heaps

You could always install tomtom with aussie maps as you can browse the maps even if there is no gps signal...
Any reason why you don't wanna use the net? I find its one of the main features of the phone...

well, I do use the net on the phone for some things... but I really just want to store the maps so I don't have to download each time like with google maps.
How do I go about getting tomtom? I think I did actually have tomtom on the phone when I first got it, but it wouldn't start without a gps plugged in.
The maps cost money don't they?
Is there a free alternative at all?

I have the Garmin 10x bluetooth GPS reciever that came with maps, and even does voice tun by turn. I use it when driving. It was 120.00USD, but I believe that you can get oz maps too.
