Buy it! (just in case you thought you could get it for free...)

Besides Garmin Mobile XT. still have any GPS software there is using satellite ?

All GPS apps use satellites
Have a look at Navigon MN7 or TT7.

It's a free download, you only need to buy the maps if you don't have them.

Obviously it's a free download, but the program itself also needs some activation code. At least if you'd like to use the internal GPS of X1.
If you don't like to buy Garmin maps, there's a quite nice and legal alternative
Some guys at openstreetmap.org did a very nice job and made some free maps for Garmin devices.
EU and Germany could be downloaded here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:All_in_one_Garmin_Map
These files work also with Garmin XT (latest version) on X1.
Have a look around in the wiki, if you may find maps for your country.
There are also other nice projects that support the Garmin format, e.g.:
http://openmtbmap.org/

Thx for this usefull answer.... I found a list of countries in the wiki you mentioned:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapping_projects#Europe
Now I only have to figure out how to get it to work with Garmin Mobile XT

I'm trying to get them to work too, if I figure it out I'll post how I did it (as I'm sure you will)!

Hi!
In a few words:
The OSM files that have been created need to get converted to Garmin format.
You'll find the tools and description also at the openstreetmap wiki.
At the end you'll get a file named gmapsupp.img
Place this file on your storage card in the Garmin folder.
You'll need a registered copy of Garmin XT to make it work though!

Best GPS software for HTC P3600???

Hi everyone.
I'm new to this forum. I've been searching the forum for the best GPS software available for my HTC P3600 but i can only find posts dating back to 2008. I would like to find recent software. Can someone help me out?
P.s - I'm running WM 6.5
Thanks a lot

It depends on what GPS use you have in mind.
If it's for navigation in a car i would recommend TomTom, i have tried several others but tomtom is still the best, specially regarding the accuracy of the navigation, which is the most important.

Yes, the use is for navigation. Thanks a lot.. i'll look in to it.

Navitel
I am Newbie here....
But I have try several GPS Software for My P3600. Finally I use Navitel for my P3600 (it has more detail map for my country, I am Indonesian). May you can try it too (sorry for my bad english )
For other country may the other GPS Software has better detail map....

i'm using garmin mobile

For turn by turn navigation and points of interest addons tomtom is the best.
But it is nice to have google maps installed when you need an aerial satellite overview of the area.

I agree, also google does a better job of finding POI's when needed. there are a few occasions when TomTom just can't find something.

I have Nav N GO iGO 8

Best is the one with best maps for your country.
In my case - Serbia is best with iGO or Garmin, but I prefer iGO...

in IGO 8 you haven`t problem with low memory?

Copilot live for me too. An alternative is Sygic, but I've never used it.

Sygic works well, also Navigon, although the Navigon app is huuuge and not recommended if you have data on NAND

Navigon is pretty good.

Always been a big fan of trekbuddy, I know it has an android port now, it is a bit more work setting up maps and stuff, but depending on what you use it for, it's pretty good, especially offline, ( and off-road ).
Not sure I'd use it for sat nav, I prefer using it for biking/walking stuff, but it does do a lot of stuff that most gps software miss

I'm really surprised that no utility has been released that allows forced user selected cache'ing of google navigation maps so the app could be used offline- this would be a killer method!
Anyone heard of NDRIVE successfully running on KAISER? I've stumbled across some reviews which claim it is the fastest GPS app,
Also any comments on smallest app size - one that could install to NAND and 1GB SD card?

I am using NAVIGON, which is working very well.

Hi everyone,
I've used Navit for android,even if it's not complete as other software, it's opensource and for me it worked great.
Some poblems to find road names in small town,but it depends on Openstreatmap,not on navit.It's not on the market you have to download from navit web site (just type: navit android on google and you'll find it).

[Q]the Best navigation for Desire HD

What navigation is the best for Desire HD?
I have IGO8 on my HD2 and i could not ask for a better navigation, i simply LOVE it! tried IGO for Android on my Desire HD, and i almost fell off my chair. WTF is that? not even close to the Windows version
So, what navi is most simular to IGO8 on Desire HD?

I use Sygic Aura

I have just downloaded Sygic Aura, and it looks very nice.
but where can i find the map version? and i dont see any speedcams on the map. is it using fresh maps?
Anyone else knows of a good navi, let me know

I'm afraid I don't know IGO8, so can't compare other apps to it. But when I got my DHD 3 months ago, I tried all the sat nav paid apps available on the market at the time. (This was back when you could try for 24 hours.) I also read all the online reviews I could find.
In the end, for me, the choice boiled down to CoPilot and Navigon MobileNavigator. I preferred Navigon - the display was cleaner and easier to read, and it seemed to calculate better routes. CoPilot had more options, but they were options I didn't really need. CoPilot was also cheaper.
However Navigon didn't work well with my BlueAnt S4 bluetooth handsfree car speakerhone. The voice came out of both the phone and the handsfree at the same time. I wrote to Navigon about it, but they said that they couldn't support all different bluetooth devices. So I went with CoPilot, and I've been reasonably happy with it.
However a few weeks later the developer of an app call CarUI fixed the Navigon bluetooth problem - if you used CarUI to start Navigon, the sound only came out of the handsfree speaker. Don't know why Navigon couldn't do the same thing (unless they have by now).
CoPilot is fine, and I only really use sat nav from time to time, so it's probably a good thing that I chose the cheaper option. But I really did like the look of Navigon, it's work checking out.
Hope that helps.

I know what you mean - the Adroid version of iGO is awful - jerky and those clunky sounds .
I've just been using HTC's Premium Navigator with downloaded maps. Although it said it would be a 30 day trial it's still going strong at twice that - looks like my licence is good until June!
For my needs, it's smooth and accurate enough.

Does that work okay for UK postcodes now? I tried it in November, but found the postcode search wasn't very good - it only had a partial list of postcodes - my own road wasn't in it.

i have:
Sygic 10
NDrive
IGO
Sygic Aura
Navigon
i thought i try all them out and i like Sygic 10 the best so far

Thanks guys! i'll check out Navigon and CoPilot.

Very interesting reading, thanks! I was relieved to see people saying similar things to my findings - Navigon comes out well for routes, and Contacts integration (I forgot to mention that above), but the interface could be improved (although I liked that it was clean and uncluttered). I really would have stuck with it if it wasn't for the BlueAnt handsfree problem.
CoPilot's interface is cluttered and it's routes aren't as good. I think they may have added Contacts integration now, I'll check next time I'm using it.
I don't think iGO was available when I was testing. I did try Sygic, but didn't get on well with it, I don't remember the details now. Of course testing for 24 hours isn't very easy, I think I only tested each one on the drive to work and back.
I only use sat nav occasionally, so CoPilot is good enough for me for now, but if Navigon ever fix the bluetooth issue I had with my handsfree, or if I had to rely on it on a daily basis, I'd possibly switch back.
I found TomTom on my iPhone was pretty good - better than my old Garmin satnav. It's a shame TomTom don't make an android app.

For the moment i'm using iGO and Navigon on my Desire HD
Navigon Mobile Navigator v3.5.3
But is Q1.2010 the newest maps for navigon? its seems outdated as it not even showing a roundabout and a road that was build over a year ago where i live. my iGO maps, which are 2010.09 is showing this. i have seen Q4.2010 maps for navigon an another forum, but for MN V7.
why is 3.5.3 stuck with outdated maps?
EDIT: Navigon freshmap says Q3, but but my phone says Q1. it still misses that roundabout and that road.

Navigation
Hi, i'm using Navigon 3.5, gives you traffic and alternative routes. Zip code and Poi's(also grapic) navigation.
As a former Tomtom user i'm quite happy.
Cheers,
Jim

CO-Pilot is working fine for me so far. Been around most of europe, never failed on me once. A good buy even though a little expensive.

Getting my DHD soon, but for now I have Co-Pilot on my Streak.
I have always had TomTom on my many Windows Mobile devices, and I loved it. On the move to Android however I had to leave TomTom behind for Co-Pilot which isn't at all as good unfortunately, but it does the job well.
The maps and program for Co-Pilot is widely available for free if you know where to look.

could i ask whats wrong with the google navigation thats free? not in a rude way just wondering the difference and why people dont use it

lets start with the bad things...
- no offline navigation
- unlimited dataplan useful
- no data connection with active phonecalls
- problems (of course) with lost data connection
- not very accurate when you got big crossings/streets with several lanes to take. Other software offer you some kind of assistance what lane to take
good things...
+ free! (except for data costs)
+ nice extras like sat pics
+ very good working with all google search results (POI always up to date/web)
+ traffic information always very accurate (at least in my area Frankfurt/Germany)
why do i use google?
- i got unlimited dataplan
- maps with actual versions are saved to some maps puffer. usually phone calls are not a problem
- coz its free and no matter what I search, I find it on google

My last phone was HTC HD2 with Tomtom it was just perfect!!
But Know i have the Desire Hd the things i need to know!! and i think i what to use the Copilot but is it also for Offline Use ??
And if i download it from internet do i have to look for a some kind of version!!
Same as by the HD2 ??
Ps. why does nobody have screenshort or a tut.movie that would be nice!!

[Q] Best navi software for defy

I want to use my Defy for navigation and i want to ask you what software is best for defy before buying it. I tried the sygic aura trial from the market, liked it, but if sometimes freezes the phone completely. Does anyone else experiencing this kinds of problems? I am using the fin 2.2.1. Thx

best, but not the cheapest is in my personal opinion navigon.
But it depends wether you want offline navigation as well, otherwise the onboard navi seems really ok since 5.1 3D view and the possibility to load the route for offline navigation.

iGo MyWay is pretty cool
or MotoNav which is pretty much the same software (which is good for the native motorola resolution 854x480)

btw, if you are going outdoor, best of all is oruxmaps, nearly followed by apemap just go 5min before tourstarting in internetcafe, plan your route, download, you are ready for offline climbing

in my country the free google navigation is not available. I think I will try the navigon and the motonav

For US users, Co-pilot is very cheap for North America and puts the maps on your SD, but Maps for Europe etc. are also available.

not to forget mapdroyd, great offline map, but not yet with navigation
