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.

I've been trying to find a way to install individual maps for my Artemis but it seems I am stuck with TomToms BS way of dealing with them.
Ok, so I start Tom Tom home and look for CH... I only see DE, AT & CH. +all major EU roads... and I think to myself, "heh, no, I'll stick to CH only thanks". WRONG. Tomtom will not let me.
I don't want to install Austria and Germany if I want my CH map... Why on earth do I have to do that?? I only want the CH map, plain and simple, that's it, I'll install AT and DE when I want/need!!... It takes up 300 MB off my SD card on stuff I will not use anyway
Then I try to calm down and think "hmm maybe CH is too small for it to be worth the bother thus they decided to fuse it to the others"... THEN I SEE CANARY ISLAND worth just over 3MB...arrrrrghhhhh!!! why why why
Anyway, sorry for the rant but I needed to let the steam off. Now, does anyone of you know of a way on installing CH (or any fused map for that matter) individually?
Help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
You might be frustrated mister, but still your language is offending, even with the ***'s.
Here we 'act' like gentlemen (and women)
as you mentioned the map you have includes all the coutries (Ger, Aut, Ch + major EU roads).
So you cant extract or what ever only one coutry.
Go to the tomtom page and see if you can buy a map only for your loved CH or live with the FREE Ger and Aut maps
Cheers a german guy...
astrodemoniac - what version of TomTom Navigator version are you using? (I will assume that you upgraded to the 6.03 on the HTC site).
What version of TTN Maps are you using?

*TomTom NAVIGATOR 6 - Software & regional maps on memory card

Ok, the fact the software comes bundled with the device doesn't mean it's FREE as you want to point out. I paid for the device and believe you me that they do charge you for it
Oh and it's not about my "loved" CH and hated evil "DE,AT" it's about choice. What I need and what I don't. In my case, I don't need the other countries, why should I have to waste over 200MB of my card's space on it. Sorry if I am not a conformist.

Of corse your are right, you have/had to pay for it, but there is no CH only map available für TomTom as you can see on www.tomtom.com . And as i mentioned there is no way (i think) of extracting the CH part of the DACH package.
And its a pitty i can't "delete" or what ever the A/CH part of my DACH map, so i could save space too.

Canary Island, you say? Just hold a second! Sure you are using an official version? Canary Island was used to activate some cracked maps with new tomtom versions! Afaik, no other reason for this map to be there!

I am surely not the only one with an Artemis Premium so I'd suggest you go inform and educate yourself by asking others before making stupid comments.

Hi, I am in toronto, ontario. what is a good software that i can use for my dopod d810 with wm6? i am currently installing it. i am still a noob and hopefully all you great people can help a fellow out. thanks!
also, i know this is a REALLY really stupid question. i already know the answer, but will still ask. if i am with telus, am i able to use the dopod d810 for that provider? the provider does not have sim cards.
Get google maps... free, works with GPS, but requires an HTTP compliant data connection.
is there a tomtom version with northamerican maps?
there is. try to go in gpsunderground.com you will get a lot of maps.
Or this one:

If you already know the answer then why ask?
Telus is a CDMA provider....the dopod d810 is a GSM phone. The only GSM providers in Canada are Rogers and Fido.
As for GPS software....TomTom is a good starter software because it's easy to use. Personally I prefer iGO because of its features and ability to be customized. You will need a memory card to store maps. A 2GB card costs about $30 here in Ottawa.
You will find all the help you need here, but please read the forums and make use of the search function.
Good place to start is the Trinity wiki

try www.tomtom.com.
I don't use TomTom myself, but I'm pretty sure they will give you install instructions when you purchase it.
if you want to search for a street and then see the listing of cities its in tom tom will not do this....i am sure toronto is actually made up of many little cities ..if a street is in oshawa and you put the next city over it will not find the street....i think tom tom is useless just for this reason...igo is great, same problem....iguidance not as fun to play with but definately will search by street...or city for that matter......
all should get a fix within 40 seconds...i use shadowmite rom.
yep.. iGO rocks much more than TomTom !!!
just in the process of setting my Desire up.
Can any one advise how I configure it to allow me to use it as a Sat Nav with turn by turn directions etc..
Also how do I get UK & NZ Maps ?
how fast will it be finding satellites compared to a TomTom ?
My old Nokia N95 8GB took ages !!
Thanks
Hi Albert
If you want to use Google maps for navigation you'll need the brut modded maps for NZ, the normal maps will work in the UK though. I didn't find the google navigation particularly handy though so i got Navigon which is great. The maps are installed on the SD you you won't need a data connection all the time. There's a 30 trial and if you don't get the full license you'll still be able to use it in the country you first registered it.
Connecting is REALLY fast! I've even connected while i was inside away from the window (not all the time though)
btw...comparing it to TomTom, i noticed i love to be able to see nevigation in portrait mode where that isn't possible on TomTom ofcourse. Portrait mode will give you a much further view of the road compared to landscape view.
Thanks
Are there any other decent free sat nav options for the UK & NZ. ?
you don't happen to have a link for brut maps do you ?
Thanks again
Get Nav Launcher from the Market. It will install brut maps for you and everything else.
Thanks I'll try that..
Last quick question will I need to find the UK & NZ maps or does this do it all ??
Google Navigation uses online maps - you need to have an active data connection, though I believe it is supposed to cache maps when it calculates a route.
Unless you've got decent data plans in both the UK and NZ, it probably isn't much use to you.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks
Any other options ?

Free options? No, not in my opinion. Google Maps Navigation is the closest free navigation app to the paid offerings, but I still believe it isn't as good overall as something like Copilot.

I believe there's Navigon, Copilot and Tom Tom is coming soon.
There's also AndNav for free from the market, Waze and I believe Wikitude now does Augmented Reality Directions.
I have no experience in any of these applications though.
There is also this:
http://www.mapdroyd.com/
But I'm not sure weather it does turn by turn or weather it's just offline maps.
thanks.
I'll look at all the apps suggested.
download copilot from android market and if you dont like it uninstall it within 24 hours and you wont be charged. I have tried them all and I find that copilot is about the best app out there for android, however their customer service is extremely slow, took about two weeks for them to answer a trouble ticket. however app is very well priced and it is an excellent bit of kit.
Thanks I will take a look
Does anyone have a GPS program with Swedish maps? Or know where I can get one?
It should also be free
If, where can I download it?

Tomtom(.com) (route planner) works well and has Swedish maps, for oziexplorer(.com) (topografic maps), also Swedish maps exist as I remember well. Both work well but are officially not free.

Ever heard of Google? try tomtom 7.9 pda and it will help you on your way.
Or try news groups. For oziexplorer, there is a demo version on the web site. Maps via news groups
Hi!
I like NaviComputer a lot. It is free and you can use the NaviMapper application, which comes with the installation on your desktop to download OpenStreetMaps. This way you can stay offline all the time, but have great maps.
This tool is not meant to be a Navigation software like TomTom etc.
The only downside of the program in my opinion is, that you cannot search for street names. You always need to have a rough idea, where you want to go.
I'm using it for GeoCaching for instance.

Try sygic mobile maps 10
I am new to android which is giving me many choices for navigation. What is the best navigation software android has to offer? I prefer Garmin but there is not an app for it.

Google Maps navigation is in my opinion the best. also sprint nav isn't too bad, but google is better.
Telenav for Sprint seems kind of dodgey on all the devices I have ever used it on. I will try the google one thank you.

is there any navigation program like igo8? which doesnt require any 3G data download connection to load the map?
cause in malaysia, the data download cost is ridiciously high.
CoPilot Live is what you're looking for (I use it, nice). It's in the Market, and the whole U.S maps are on special for $4.99. Sweet deal.
Check out their site for info on maps of other locales.
Navigon had an Android gps app but they pulled it sometime ago.
Forgive My Brevity. To Be Or Not To Be...
I used MapDroyd when I went across country. No data connection at all in the deserts.
MapDroyd is good!!! but they doesnt give me navigation to the destination..
any more suggestion?

Did you even try CoPilot Live? It's a full GPS navigation app with TTS.
yeap, CoPilot is not in the market apps, and its a paid application.
anymore suggestion? i used to use iGO8(crACKED) on my omnia and diamond2....
also im in melbourne(australia) and Kuala Lumpur(malaysia) often
I've tried co pilot, and Igo and they are all slow at responding. I find google maps work very smoothly and does everything u need.

So you're looking or warez then or something free? Dude, there's always Google or Yahoo or Bing.
Otherwise, CoPilot Australia details are here http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/travel/copilot-live-australia-nz_boqf.html
or
Ndrive might be your best bet as they have maps for both Australia and Malaysia (Asia and Oceania) here http://www.ndriveweb.com/products/product/7/
