Hi all,
I wanted to start a thread for all posts regarding GPS software on the Tilt 2 (TP2). What third-party GPS software has anyone installed and how is it running? Is there anyone out there who has tried the various softwares and can provide comments regarding which one they liked the most? I want to install one but don't know which one to go with. Thanks in advance!
I've been using CoPilot Live 8 on my Tilt2; works quite well. GPS performance is better than the Fuze.

Hello all,
Whilst I know a fair bit about computers I've become lose in all the talk about what goes on what. I've kind of picked up that "cooking" your rom is abit like upgrading your bios?
Anywhooo just ordered my xda orbit and I cant really work out what should go on there when i get it. I have seen a touch flo mod - HTC touch style interface, can anyone point me in the correct direction?
obviously wm6 comes from the o2 website, I was considering getting one of those HTC remotes - would you recommend this? If so I read somewhere that another mod is neeeded to make the buttons work with the orbit?! I've tried searching but I tend to end up in heated discussions with part developed apps.
What else would you recommend? I've noted the GPS tracking software...
Has there been a new tomtom released for wm6?
Thank you in advance,
JC
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.

igo8 (latest version) works on mine just fine. Same version I was using on the HD
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?
Turn off A-GPS

Hi
I couldn't get IGo8 to run with A-GPS enabled. It still works fine.

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.
Thanks for your help

Hi All,
I have a Vodafone TP2. I was wondering what the best approach would be to get Sat Nav working on my TP2?
I am starting afresh here.. so no views on software etc although my VF may have a freebie ??? I will have to check..
Thanks in advance,
Sam
I strongly suggest you start by using the forum ... I know it's been said before, and will be again, but honestly, just spend a bit of time looking at the threads already started - or use search for some GPS software brands.
I'll give you a heads up on two things I think are important:
1. There is currently no official way to get TomTom working on it as the TP2 is not supported by them yet. Of course many people do have TT working on their devices so it is obviously possible, if you know what I mean
2. Beware of the free Co-pilot demo - reading the various threads covering GPS systems on the TP2 shows that it's a bit of an A**E to remove (the latest update may not be removable at all from what I read today).
Good luck searching!

No. That is not how this forum works. When you come here, don't talk about getting served in days. First, read the forums for a few weeks, get to know the forum, the people and the content. Then it's reasonable to start asking questions.
Many people before you have asked this question - all are welcome here, but not on those terms.
mapking or garmin xt?
hi i would like the best for my xperia. so which do you guyz recommend for my xperia? mapking 2007 or garmin xt?
TomTom is the best GPS software for X1 it`s faultless! aslong as the maps are available for your counrty
but tomtom maps are specified for certain countries, for a person who travels alot i recommend garmin xt - even though it's a bit complicated when it comes to map making, but it's reliable
Hello guys from long time i search some cool compass aplication that will be very usefull for all of use.
I found that the new Touch HD 2 have Digital Compass who work Under WM 6.5 and use the GPS.
The question is.. We have WM 6.5 for our Blackstones and We have GPS too
Can someone port this Beautyfull Digital Compass we to can use in Blackstone
Here is the Image:
Im pretty sure that this requires extra hardware that the HD does not have.
I dont mean exactly the same but someone can make some similar compass for our Blackstones for example can se the graphic from the original one just to get the idea.
We have G sensor and GPS so its posible to be made some kind of compass.
There have been a few roms that have tried it, but it did not work and caused the HD to crash when trying to exit the app.
This is not possible: The Touch HD does not have a compass, the HD 2 does!
Just using GPS there is no way for the device to know which way is north! It can only figure out the direction when it's moving, not when it's stationary!
There have been numerous threads on this subject!

Correct, our HD's will never have this capability due to not having the hardware needed. One more reason to purchase the Leo
theres plenty of compass apps out there allready that use the GPS eg....Beeline, Efficasoft, there's heaps more though off the top of me head, there the ones I use. Otherwise your gonna have to buy a phone that has the specific bit of hardware in it, that can give you a stationary reading, as the GPS ones calculate this via your movement.
try install latest rom Lost In Asia there is implemented that compas and copilot live 8 trial too
