Hi All
A question for those that already have a TP2. Does it have GPS or A-GPS?
Which is better: TomTom or Garmin and why?
Can you load this software on you 16GB SD card with all your music etc so that you don't have to hot swap cards?
Thanks for the assitance

TP2 comes with A-GPS, I tried both TomTom and Garmin, unfortunately both have map drawing lag on my, so I use Igo8.
Also I am using 16GB MircoSD. and listen to music too.
My Igo doesn't work

Dear radiowc,
I cannot get Igo to run on my TP2. (See this thread). Can you tell me what version of Igo you are using and post your sys.txt? This might help me.
I am using IGO8 8.3.2.83157
Attached is my sys.txt... kind of long too :>

Have you tried the latest Garmin Mobile XT update from the Garmin website?
Works really well on mine landscape and portrait with no map lag.

Has anyone tried the Navagon GPS yet.
I have a stand alone Navagon and I love it. It has lane assist and many other features that Garamon and TomTom are just now introducing on their units. Navagon had it 2 years ago. I've looked at it on their website and it seems to have all the features as the standalone unit.
I was wondering if anyone had tried it to see if there were any lag or other problems. If not then I'll probably get it so when I fly somewhere I won't have to bring my standalone.
They have demo versions for other countries but not the USA.

Hi,
Relating the ongoing discussions on other threads in the Kaiser and Diamond areas I tried the TT7 cab on the MDA Compact 3. Works fine but it is a big hit on storage memory (12mb).
Regards
Its easy solution.
Move folder "intern geheugen" on Sd memory
Hi,
Yes worked that out.
Tested it and it is okay but no real great innovations compared to TT6. Going to wait until I get a MDA C IV before moving over.
Regards
Which maps did you manage to get to work. cant get mine to work no matter where i put it.

tomtom 7 on artemis?
where did you get
want to test it , i am using igo 8 now

Hi,
Only used it with the city taster map which is free.
I believe you can buy a 720 map from Tom Tom which should work. I only have 675 map for TT6 which does not get recognised by TT7.
Hatchy,
Look in the Diamond or Kaiser areas, a number of threads there on where to get TT7.

Can anyone update his/her maps with Mapshare? At the moment I'm not managing how to do it with TomTom Home.
I helped someone get it working on their Orbit and its working fine.
Only thing is, the GPS button doesn't work now. Does anyone know how to get it working?
go to start>>>>>settings>>>>>>>>personal>>>> buttons, change "Tom Tom navigator.exe" to the other "Tom Tom navigator" mentionded in the dropdownbox with out the .exe for button 1
that should fix it
Thanks will get them to try it. I didnt realise there was no exe for TT7..no wonder I couldnt find it!
just installed it
i will test it tomorow
i'll post my results
see you tomorow

I have the Navigon 2100max PNA and prefer Navigon to TomTom and IGo etc. Very pleased with it so the PDA version should be just as good.
Here are the xml modifications to support HD res. Have not tried it yet as I don't have the phone yet.
Im hoping this works, 'cause navigator 6 hangs on my HD as well as on my girlfriends Omnia. Haven't found the reason yet, but I think it's a resolution thing...

You mean this new Navigon 7 PDA version I posted in the link works on the HD?
Did you use the attached xmls?
Is it full screen and hi res?
Thanks!
Their website doesn't show the Touch HD as a compatible device:
http://www.navigon.com/site/int/en/service_support/compatibility
Never used navigon, but I like what I see!
Yes but it supports other windows mobile devices and you know what, they are nearly all the same at the end of the day. As I said, I have the Navigon 2100max. Bought it half price for £99 from Halfords. It uses MN7 software which is fast. Love it.
Here is a trailer for Mobile Navigator 7 for those who have never used it to see what its like. Its very popular in Europe but less so in UK as TomTom seem to be the leaders.
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=f9EKPImocZ4
It has literally just been released. Launch date is tomorrow - 17th November.

Looks very interesting. It has speed warning? Is that by comparing your actual speed against the legal limit of that particular stretch of road or merely against a preset speed?
Do they have maps for Australia?

I would like to buy Nav 7 but have no idea how to install it on m HD. What should I do with the xml files?
boba23 said:
How do you guys judge the TTS quality of Navigon 7? I am also considering buying it, mainly because I hope that I get a good, and working TTS system with it. Those "hacked" TTS files that fly around for iGO8 are well .... crap in my eyes.

Hi,
how does TMC reception exactly work - will it use the implemented radio module? I mean, if I buy MN7 and install it on my HD, will I automatically be able to use TMC (with headset antenna plugged in, I mean)? Or do I need additional hardware? Mobile navigation does not make sense to me without TMC (in Germany ...), and I wonder if I really can throw away my PNA and use the Touch HD instead.
Eriol
A few answers to above questions.
I am happy with the UK Text to speech. Announces roads very well.
Not sure about if TMC uses radio built into phone as I dont have HD yet but I presume it does. I also presume you would need to plug in a usb lead or headphones to act as the antenna just like in the PNA version.
According to Navigon, TMC reception is available at no charge in the following countries: A, B, CH, CZ, D, DK, E, I, N, NL, S.
As for installing it, copy the folders in the download to the root of your SD card. Then go to folder 2577 and hit the install05 cab. Then copy the xml files in the 1st post and overwrite them with the relevant ones on the sd card.

Is the solution you present here using the full 800x480 pixel screen size or is it just stretching 640x480 to 800x480 (as proposed in some German navigation forums some weeks ago)?
I wonder why Navigon has not yet changed its MN7 to the realities and offers a true 800x480 product ...
As for the TMC: I read in different forums that TMC would not work, but none of the posters was able to test this. Another option would be to download traffic data via internet; TomTom is able to do this now with its latest PDA versions.

Actually I don't know how it works with MN7, however I changed just the "BinaryConfig.xml" into the MN 6.2.5 version... and I found the stretched result pretty ugly !!
So I came back with the "normal" resolution of 640x480... and it works well, even if a part of the screen isn't used... ;-)
Read post 11. He has tried it and says it is fullscreen. Maybe he can tell us if it looks good or not.

That's exactly what I'm trying to explain... ;-)
I did it in "fullscreen" with the version 6.2.5... and the result is awful !! Icons and menus are completely deformed...
That way, I don’t like it at all, however it’s just my point of view... ;-)
Yes but you have said you have used version 6.2.5. This thread is about version 7.0 so MN7 may be different on full screen and improved.
I got TomTom bundled with the Athena and Cruise, no such luck with the TP2. Any suggestions or recommendations about which package to go for for TP2, bearing in mind the wide screen etc.
All suggestions welcome
i have tried 3 sat navs over the years. obvious one is tomtom, i use copilot 7 and have no probs. i have read and heard great reports of mcguider? might want to check the spelling. very popular is garmin xt but word of warning.... youll have to hot swap your sd card and that is no fun. workarounds available but not worth messing around with it.
i went for copilot live 7 because i found a cheap one on ebay and no need to hot swap. its very clear and works with most devices.
I think that should be a good short list. no doubt others will champion other brands.
I use TomTom, have no problems with it at all, works 100%
Presumably using VGA version rather than QVGA?

Yes indeed, but it's the 480 X 800 screen that might present an issue
I use tomtom7, but for some reason on my kaiser and rhodium it runs SO SLOWLY.
I only get about 0.75 frames per second update time, which frankly is terrible compared to the 3-5fps that you would see on a standalone tomtom unit.

I use 7.915, the latest version which runs flawlessly.
As mentioned ... I have CPL6 and it works fine on the TP2 taking up the whole of the WVGA screen except the initial splash and performs well.

iGo 8
I cant get iGo 8 to work to save my life!, I've installed and re-installed countless times now and Iget the same issue, it installs fine but wont start the application, even to give me the license agreement page.
it just bombs out and it's really cramping my phone at the moment... any ideas?

Hi there,
I might be really stupid but where in the settings is the option to switch off Assisted GPS?
I'm surprised that it doesnt work with A-GPS as the Kaiser had no issues at all.

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.
