Hello
installed IGO 8 on my artemis with meschle rom vanilla 4.02 with cube
runs perfect, for the moment no diverence with speed as tomtom
tomorrow i will give it a special test with monumets , speedcams etc
for my onest opinion layout and design better then tomtom
i noticed for the moment just one minor problem;
Igo 8 gets stuck when s2u2 turns on,i just removed s2u2
are there some other user so i can hear there opinion
greetz Hatchy
Ive installed S2U2 yesterday but haven't run IGO8 yet, so will do it now and post my findings in a bit.
Ok had it running for ten minutes now and has been fine?
i have got S2U2 setup so that it only comes on when the device is in standby and with IGO8 keeping the phone on it doesn't even start S2U2.
IGO 8 vs TomTom Navigator
Yeah,
installed IGO8 too, our 200MHZ TIO OMAP Processor is still fast enough
Maybe in future it will be too slow when 3D graphices are real to life, or like TomTom Navcore 8 (not for pda's). Tomtoms graphics are like a 80's computergame
My father in law still prefers tomtom (very user friendly) even with the 'easy mode' in IGO8.
I still have to test it passing monuments to see the better graphics, but runs smoothly, you can see that they worked on this one.
Any other competitive packages with great graphics ? (tested Destinator & Route 66 already in past). Maybe TomTom Navigator 7 will have better 3D graphics, any news ???
Thanks,
Innovator
using IGO8 from begin of may with full details and works perfect.
I'm not using S2U2
I 'm using iGO8 full with 3d elevations, custom pois etc. Works fine on artemis with Vanilla 4.1 (not touch).
Problems (2) that I mention is:
1. it needs at least 16 MB ram free
2. when I press the call button to make a phone call during navigation, dialpad screen is a mess and no call can be made.
Waiting for a better Greek map because building numbers is totally wrong.
Fantastic piece of software.
navigon 6.5
i also used the igo8. but as i made any turn it ran back in 2d modus. so i went looking for other navi software. tomtom i had for a very long time, but when i wanted to go to croatia for vacantion, i had to switch between 2 maps. western eu and eastern eu. now i use navigon, very convinced that this is really good. had no problems what so ever on the way to and back from croatia. fast and very good working for me.
Tested
Hello
i tested igo almost the whole day
NOproblems
it works great
zero times stuck
i got calls in between no problem
i going to keep it on my artemis , much better grafics then tomtom
one thing, didn't see the 3d buildings yet

HTC P3300 with meschle vanilla 4.02 with cube
Hey i've tested it too ... first I had the "not enough memory" error, now I use filesystem cache 125 kb so it starts at least ...
but if I want to plan a long route the error message of iGO appears: "Not enough Memory, use different parameters"
I've got 27,6 mb free program memory (Meschles Artemis Touch 4.02 Vanilla) ... whats the problem, any of you got an idea???
I think in general Artemis isn't really fitting the performance specifications for iGO 8.

How do you achieved this? I played around with the memory options for 4 hours -> no success
I don't know
but i closed all programs ( also pocketcm)
i removed everything from tomtom and i set the splash screen on disabled
with me no problems and i just have 19 mb free
Update
I am using igo now and it works perfect
i've got a 4 gb micro sd with full europe for igo 8 and full europe for tomtom
so i can use both now
works like a charm
no problems for me
Hi.
Any way to get a link where to download IGO and test it, please?
Titek: buy it or try it in the shop and then buy?

That may be a good answer.
Anyway, is there a real difference between Tomtom Navigator and Igo? I got Tomtom on my ARTEMIS and it's quite good but sure, I do not see buildings in 3D.
I have Igo8 on my Artemis (working on Artemis Touch 4.02 Full no cube ROM @ 473 MHz) with full details and some skins and works fine (need at least 16 MB free RAM)
3d buildings
3d maps
realistic textures
full europe maps
Do IGO's maps take a lot of size on Micro SD card's or not? I know that for TOMTOM, maps can be about 100 Mb.
Hi I installed iGO 8 properly. But when it starts I see only blue igo screen and and " INIT API" then the program closes. Does anyone know what should be the problem.
I have Black&Blue 4.1 WWE Rom installed.

hi guys.
can you tell me how big the tomtom program and uk maps are roughly. I need to know what size microSD to buy.
also, is there a free bit of software that I can use to test if my gps is working on my phone.
thanks

Hi, I have just installed TomTom 6 on my O2 orbit and it took 286Mb on the memory card, It works fine with no problems.
I use a piece of software called visual GPSce
http://www.visualgps.net/VisualGPSce/default.htm
This is a very simple way of seeing if the GPS is working it also shows the speed and other information.
Hope i am not breaking any rules by posting the url
Fred099
O2 Orbit, TOMTOM6 GPS 1GB Microsd
Have you taken a look at IGO2006 or MioMAP v3.2 ?
Tomtom lacks the polished finish that these two (same core app really) have managed to achieve.
IMO
Jez
I agree, I ditched TT in favour of I-Go ... MUCH clearer and more intuitive interface IMHO.
Hi, All,
Can we share some experiences on the GPS navigation software used on our Trinity? I currently is using TomTom 6 originally came with the phone, but I really don't like it's graphical interface, nor the accuracies of the direction instructions. Sometimes it will tell me to turn right, then make a U-turn down the road in order to do a simple left turn. I the intersection where I'm supposed to make a left turn does allow left turn traffic. Even I updated the map, it is still giving me ambiguous directions.
What's your experience with the GPS navigation software you are using? Does anybody have the guts to claim one is superior to the others and why?
Regards,
Dinky
Navigon MobileNavigator 6 is one of the best, and has a very beautiful and easy to operate interface. You must have 20mb of ram free when you launch it.
See here: Mobile Navigator 6
Hi Dinky,
I have Nav N Go iGO My way 8. I complete change this GPS software over my TomTom. It is very fast software, easy install, intuitive control, skins, 3D landmarks, 3D city maps. I seee flyover very good first time. I have all europ maps in the 2 GB card. Maps have current date feb. 2008.
More info about iGo8 is here :iGO8
+1 iGo 8
Was running iGo 2006 Plus as it had better resolution maps and was smoother than TomTom 6.02.
iGo 8 is even better, but the Trinity doesn't have the grunt to navigate and do text-to-speech directions at the same time.
I thought Nav N Go 8 hadn't been released yet. It certainly doesn't look to have been on their website.
i have tomtom 6.03
works great on WM6.1
Nav N Go 8 is Good & works fine on my Trinity
This is the Link i got it from
iGO8 v8.0.0.31442

Hi,
was there not a problem with MN6.2 when driving in a tunnel.
I always had the problem that inside the tunnel MN6 said i've been arrived when the gps signal was lost.
Do you have a solution for that?
My favourite is also iGO8! Only disadvantage is that iGO has Teleatlas maps and no Navteq. But this is dipending on the region you live and only some streets are not actual. So it is not a big problem. With Tomtom in the past you have had both possibilities.

True... this does not happen with an external receiver, only with the gps receiver from the trinity itself. After a tunnel I just choose "Last destinations" and you're quickly on track again. That's about the only problem I have with this software, the routes are very good and the interface is very clean.
I am using Garmin Mobile XT on my WM6 Trinity.
The maps are City Navigator Europe 2008 NT (Maps dated oct 2007).
The interface is a little awkward, and the 3d view a little sluggish, also the spoken directions are a little too late for my taste. On the other hand I drive fast ;-)
The maps are very good (navteq), you can puzzle your own Europe map and load it on the MiniSD Card.
All in all its not bad, with better maps than Tomtom6

How do you get it to work? Do you change the sys.txt?
I get nothing but "out of memory" and "fatal error" once the interface has loaded.

Through schaps advanced config, put the cache file to 2MB
Your location will determine the soft
Use the one with the latest maps
I've try ViaMichelin ( Horrible ), Route66 (average ), Garmin XT ( don't like the view ), TT6 ( Efficient most of time, lot of pois, poor view ), iGO 2006+ ( nice ) and now iGO8 ( Very good )

Got it partially working now, the interface is really fast...but oh so complicated. The difference with Navigon is day & night, Navigon worked together with Fraunhofer Institute to make the UI user-friendly and it shows.
Sounds like a lot people prefer iGo8, I'd like to give it a try. I travel a lot in North America including Canada. Does anyone have all iGo8 North America maps in one zip file? Thx.
iGo8 only has euro version

When I start iGO 8 with 25mb free ram, it frequently fails to calculate a route of 130km. It uses a lot of memory... I'll give up now
hi
dont have any gps navigation with map full 3D of iberia? a like iGO8 grafic but I never try it...
regards
I've always used, and never found better GPS software than TT6, untill now! Igo8 is fantastic, a memory hog but works smoothly. Only (Big) problem is I cannot pick up call whilst igo is running. I changed the page mem to 2mb, but either the call is lost or igo crashes.
Any suggestions??
In Australia, I use CoPilot 7, that came with my P3600i.
Doesn't use much memory, and looks great and runs pretty snappy.
In my opinion, TomTom looks horrible - I don't know why it's become so popular.
iGo is alright, but the interface is too cluttered and as some people have said, it is definitely a memory hog.
CoPilot for me so far
Hi,
Anyone tested TomTom7 & IGO8 and is TT7 really that better in graphix in comparison with TT6?
Or is IGO8 still the best with the 3D Buildings?
Any comparisons welcome!
Cheers,
Innovator
iGo8
i didn't notice a big difference with TT7's graphics. but to be honestly,
i didn't use it for a long time....
i prefer iGo because
- single maps for each country
- text to speech (it tells you the streetnames)
- better graphics

But do you think that it will work well with artemis and his 200 MHz processor.
I read that the minimum CPU required was 300MHz.

TT7 is more accurate when it comes to the speed cameras. But I don’t see an improvement in graphics.

it's running on my father's artemis and two work colleagues are using it also without any problems.
2 questions
Where can you get Igo 8 from??
Also, how do Igo and TT7 compare with Copilot? The good thing about Copilot is the free speed camera updates. I am using CP6 which works fine but isn't very pretty, and am thinking of upgrading to CP7, Igo or TT7 (cab from this site and buy a map)
Same question here, where to get IGO8?
Thx

Well i've tried igo 8 on my artemis and the result was not very nice because if you answer any call or want to use pda for any other reason igo will stop running and blocks pda. Same thing appened with igo 2006, for my sadness i was hopping to keep igo instead of tomtom but for that reason i've changed again to tomtom.
Oh I thought TomTom7's graphics improved dramatically, saw some screens, but I guess this was for the Navcore, not for pda's ?
Other question : where can you get the speedcam and other poi updates for IGO?
For TomTom i used POIEDIT (free updates)
Thanks,

The menu’s in TT7 are better looking and more extended. But the navigation screen looks the same.
Gps connectivity is also better than TT6..

POIEDIT free updates?
Am I missing something? I've just had a look at the site and it's £20 including a year's updates. Isn't this the same as getting them from tomtom?
Graphics are not that much improved but it has far more functions than
TT6
TT7 versus IGO 8
TT7:
I think nearly nothing has changed. It's a little bit slower than the previous version.
The maps have a few more details.
IGO8:
If you really want to try this navi, you need a lot of free ram!
I have changed to Vanilla 4.02. And since that I have enough ram to
use IGO. Otherwise IGO is rather slow and unstable.
The advanced features (3d-buildings, a.s.o.) are also only available if you have
enough free ram!
The CPU is no problem - it works very smooth with my Artemis!
bye
peter
I think I'll stick to IGO8, best graphics (and it's not slow on my P3300 as some experience).
I used the latest Artemis Touch Lite (without cube) and now the the Oops Black, both fast enough.
For the person that thought poiedit was not free, see :
http://www.poiedit.com/downloads.htm
You can even update poi's through wifi directly from your P3300 (pocketpoi).
Just saw it also works with IGO8, so i'm going to re-install

What is the right version of Tomtom 7 for Artemis:
the VGA one or QVGA one?

response speed (navigation): 8
look&feel: 7
TT7:
stability: 10
easy to use: 10

I'm quite sure you need some extra RAM because here on my artemis iGo8 is as stable as a rock. iGo is known for needing quite a lot of RAM (at least 16mb if I remember correctly)

I'm running MOSSI meets ANJA31-Diamond Style V1.0 WWE ROM that is very fast and stable.. more I've installed today agenda and some other... after an active sync session (exchange) available Ram drops to about 12 MB and then I can free other 2MB with hibernate... but hardly i can get more than 14-15 Mb. I've tried many roms (officials and cocked) with same results. Maybe unloanding HTC Home should help but for now I'm quite happy with this configuration.

running Artemis touch 4.02 lite without cube and installed igo8 yesterday.
what an awesome program, running very smooth. much better then tomtom6 or 7
small example, when ur called while in tomtom, u cant switch to speakermode because the callscreen goes away when u pickup. (u have to push the pickup button longer to switch) when u hang up tomtom sometimes wont come back.
With igo8 this problem is fixed. when u pickup u see the callscreen and igo8 still runs in the background giving u directions when u hang up igo comes back.
Has anyone heard anything about TomTom on the HD? After watching the french review and her saying it doesnt work, is that because the tomtom 7 on the diamond is locked to the diamond?
I suppose we will never know until someone gets there hand on one?
And I wonder if it is because of applications made for VGA device is having problem on the 800x480 screen.
That may be the issue, however so far I have never seen the Diamond having any problems showing QVGA apps either it just blows them up. But because the aspect ratio is no longer 4:3 this may be an issue --- I can not image that HTC lets this be an issue though since hardly any application is made to suit WVGA.
There are 2 editions of TomTom (QVGA and VGA) as far as I know. The samsung omnia has also a different aspect ratio and the QVGA version works perfect. So I think the VGA version will work also on the Touch HD without any problems.
I have a Toshiba G900 (WVGA Display, 800x480) and I can confirm that TomTom works without problems on non standard screen resolutions.
This has also been confirmed by people with xperia's. It works without a problem!
Would TomTom 6 work on the HD?TomTom6 has worked fine on my HTC Universal, and its resolution is also different to the diamond. Or are there other problems to get TomTom6 work on the HD, like the internal GPS?
TomTom 6 works without any problems.
tomtom for htc diamond
i have tested both the tomtom 6 and tomtom 7 working on on the HTC diamond. It works a treat. Copilot 7 live also works well but the software is a lot older and doesnt pickup postcodes as well as tomtom.
Any more opinions as to screen compatibilty with popular software, like SB Pocket Plus and all the main apps?
Thanks!
Could anybody upload a screenshot picture of TomTom working on a WVGA Display (800x480)?

what do you mean "locked to the diamond"? I used both TomTom 6 and 7 for months on my VX8600
TomTom 7.451 is ok (7.9 ko) but keyboard is very little...
Currently I'm running TomTom 7 on my Touch Pro with maps for version 6.75. Working perfectly. TT 7 was installed from a cab file available on this forum which was extracted from Diamond. Will this same version of TT7 will work on HD with same maps (version 6.75)? I ma not sure what is the extended version of this TomTom i.e., it is 7 but is it 7.45 or 7.9 .... don't know. Tried to find it but couldn't find any such detail. Cab file was taken from Diamond forum on this site.
I run TT 7.910.9185 with WCE map 725.1906 and agree that the street names are too small to read in traffic, behind the wheel. The onscreen keyboard however is just fine, there are two settings small and large.
I have TTN7 installed on my Touch HD, and have inserted the micro sd card from my Polaris that had TTN7 running with purchased v7 (go520) map from TomTom.
I have followed the start up process and when I get to the "select a map" screen, it shows the "Manchester" map I got as a freebie and the "UK & ROI" map I purchased & used on my Polaris. However, when I select either map, TTN7 just closes down. Any suggestions please.
The maps you purchased have been activated for your Polaris only, according to your device ID.
Sorry, but where I find the 7.910 Vga version that see my Htc HD in Tomtom Home?
Thankyou IceMatrix
P.S. Can admin delete the post in software thread
I seem to be unable to run iGo 8 navigation software on WM6.5 on my Hermes.
I tried different (lite) ROMs but I keep running into memory errors.
iGo 8 will run fine after a hard reset, but as soon as I sync my contact with an exchange server (approx. 500 contacts) iGo will crash.
I really want to use iGo instead of TomTom cause I spend a lot of time in eastern europe and Tomtom has no good maps over there...
Anyone running iGo on WM6.5 and how????
Thanks
Hi drbrains,
I've running it on TAI's WWE V15. Never had any problems just installed, GPS configured and using it. I only have 200 contacts, using IContact. I've had a similar problem on older Roms running Manilla...
I have good experience with iGO 8
In order to get rid of memory problems, I delete 3D buildings leaving only maps. This allows me running iGO on my Hermes while many other apps are running with as low as 11Mb of free RAM before start.
Thanks guys!!!
I will install v15 right now, and I will delete the 3d buildings (I never see them anyway in my part of the world )
Edit:
Turns out I had to update from my 8.0.0 version to 8.3.2 and that solved my problems.
