TomTom and other GPS software

GPS Software Ideas - T-Mobile Dash
Im in desperate need to find a good GPS program that works with the Dash. My bluetooth GPS receiver came in today but I need to find a GPS program.
I have searched this site, and well the Search sucks and returned about 2 or 3 things pertaining to GPS Software.
Anyone got some ideas?

I am not sure of what are you asking for. What is "bluetooth program" you are referring to? TomTom 6 works on SP.

Fixed... No wonder no one had replied. Thanks

I won't lie, I've been trying to install several pirated version of it today. And it just doesn't seem to work. The closest of my attempts has been when TomTom opened up then asked for configurations then told me TomTom is not compatible with this device. Sigh. Gladly I didn't go out a buy it before trying it.

And what makes you think that a paid product will not work, just for trying it's pirated version???
I'm no saint, also tried out several pirated GPS software, AFTER I bought R66.
R66 always performed to the standarts, while all the others gave some kind of problem. I succed to make some work, but it's just too much trouble... for me, anyway.
I would advice to question the software development houses, regarding compatibity issues with your device, just to be on the safe, but I don't see why a comercial, legal version would not work correctly.

I can assure you that TT 6 works just fine on Excalibur. Retail product I mean. Certain cracked version also works, but I advice against it since developers deserve to be rewarded for their hard work.

I agree, but you can bet your ass im not shelling out that much to find out it doesn't work. I've tried several TT6 and TT5, and for some reason it says not compatible for this device. I will take your word on it though and take TT6 into consideration with Route 66 Mobile 7.
Vmiguel, do you have R66 Mobile 7 on a Dash? I've been looking at buying this. Also If you do, I read that it comes with MiniSD/SD but the Dash uses Micro SD. Are you able to install from the DVD to micro sd?
Im particularly looking for a good GPS Software that I can download online and pay for. But if I have to I can order it.

TomTom 6
I've been trying to locate TomTom6; however, I can't seem to find it anywhere. Amazon says "Coming Soon" -- as does the tomtom.com website. Is this product available in the U.S. yet (European version seems to be shipping, though...)
Also, does the bluetooth receiver included in the package need an external power source, or is it battery powered?
The online materials don't mention compatibility with the T-Mobile Dash specifically...
Thanks!

Yeah, I noticed you could order TomTom 5 from TomTom.com but TomTom 6 didn't have a purchase option.
I already have a bluetooth GPS receiver, so I am seriosuly thinking I might just order Route 66 Mobile 7 WMS.
If you guys know of any other compatable GPS software please post it.

Copilot Live
Has anyone tried Copilot Live? I read some reviews that seemed to recommend the product -- and it's a lot easier to find than Route 66.
Also, anyone have some thoughts in general about using a smartphone (such as our beloved Dash) for GPS navigation as opposed to just buying a dedicatd unit?
Thanks!

Another GPS Question...
Here's one more question. Can all of these packages be installed on a Micro SD card and run from there? Or does the main app have to be installed in phone memory? It seems these apps take a significant amount of space (6 Megs for Copilot Live, 16 Megs for Route66, etc.), so it would be a shame to be forced to install them in phone memory...
Thanks!

I'll get my Excalibur in couple of hours and will post some impressions and screen shots.

I HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO ALL.
TomTom does not work on Smartphone. It installs fine, but then there is no possibility to pick correct com port and keyboard pressing does not correspond properly.

OK, I just ordered Route66 online from their shop. I'll let you know how is it after it arrives - within next week or so.

You have to try iGO 2006. This is very nice and easy software. Works for me and as original is pre installed on Mini SD, so it should work on any PDA's.
Check there web: http://www.i-go.com/en/
I love it, has lot of countries and even details on Ireland.

does IGO runs on WMsmartphone?? I can only see PPC on the requirement.

Nice, but no North America maps...

mapopolis
I like mapopolis. It has GPS support, street-by-street driving instructions (with voice prompt), business and place-of-interest look up, etc.
So, if you're wondering in and about a different neighborhood, you can click on the businesses and it will give you their telephone number/location, etc. You can also look up driving directions via address (like mapquest) etc.
It's works great for the pocket PC -- smartphone (like the dash) i suspect is so-so. I've used it on the mx220, and without a touch screen it's just O.K.
The cons would be their web site interface. You pay $99 for unlimited downloads of individual counties in regions of the United States. Since a state like California has 58 counties, (58 separate maps) that's a lot of downloading time. They have an option to just buy an SD card with all the maps on it, but the dash doesn't use SD. (plus it costs more).
However the pros: Trial download. (I think 10 days?). Give it a shot, see if you like it, it uninstalls pretty nicely too.

Looking for experiecne with Bluetooth GPS

Hello everyone, I am thinking of getting a bluetooth gps reciever. I only want it for emergencys when im snowboarding, give me a latitude and longitude so i wouldnt really need any maps. And I woudl just keep the unit in my pocket and off until i had to use it.
Has anyone used any of these devices with the htcs620 if so please let me know wich model, software and your experience.
Thanks.

I currently own the Holux M1200 that I bought online for about 70 dollars. It is very small and durable, about the size of a usb flash drive. It even has a very solid loop that could be used to tie the unit to your jacket or keychain.
The device came with a very small piece of software that gives you your long/lat. It also came with smart2go, though I couldn't get the application to install via the dvd and had to download it from their website.
You can read more about the product here.

Rebuttle
Thanks, great info i've found the Holux GPSlim 240 looks like the next version a bit slimmer for $70.00 seems worth it.
Can live search be used with it ?
Can you use bluetooth headset and have the gps connected to the phone at the same time ?

I chose the M1200 b/c it can connect to 32 satellites vs. 20 satellites with the slim 240

I had never used the mini gps program until today and I'd like to add that it does NOT work on smartphones.

Geeks.com have a bunch all about $40-$50. (The one I got was cheaper still but they don't have it any more!) They are all based on a very few chipsets, so don't worry about going with a no name brand. The key is really finding software that does what you want. If you just want to check your position then there's a few packages knocking about that will read the datastream. I don't have it with me but there was one I found that gave you all the details - VITO I think. I wouldn't use Live/G Maps though except if you stop and check. If you have them running continuous you will have an active datastream and bluetooth datastream running at the same time which is a large power drain. That's fine in a car with a charger, but with no access to power.....

Torque/OBD2 bluetooth adapter?

Anyone tried this on their EVO? I just ordered up a bluetooth adapter from ebay for $20. Wondering if it works or if I wasted my money. Supposed to be able to read dtc's and clear them if the cel light is on. If you have tried it let new know your experience. Include what bluetooth adapter you used and what kind if car you were working on.
thanks in advanced.

I personally haven't tried it, but if its bluetooth compatible [which the evo is] it should work. Sometimes I use my laptop as my evo "speakers" when I'm bored.

Well I'm just saying the device should be able to read the internal flags of the system [if led is on ect], and do all the fancy things it should, so I think you're all set. As far as the "headset" goes:
1. Turn on bluetooth on both devices, make sure both are discoverable
2. On the phone, scan devices, it should find your computer, and click pair, it'll show you a code, right it down just in case it doesn't fall through in the next step
3. Wait about 30 seconds and you should get a notification of a device trying to connect to your computer, click it, and it should have the same pairing code, click okay and you should be done
Now, on the phone, start playing music, and it should say "playing through blue tooth headset"

I just got mines in the mail 2 days ago. I plan to play around with it today after I get out of class. I own a 96 Accord and a 07 Altima that I will be testing it on. The OBDII BT sensor I have came with a mini disc.

Let me know how it works out for you! I am excited to get mine in the mail to test but I just ordered 2 days ago. 10-21 days for shipping from china. Hope I didn't get ripped off.

Post results and link to device you bought. Would like to know how well it works.

I am using http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003MQ89X4/ref=oss_product and it works really well with Torque. Torque does keep telling that it isnt recieving data properly sometimes when looking in the settings but I havn't noticed any issues. I love it. Used it to figure out my MPG at different speeds

I'm using this $20 adapter with Torque. Worked so well that I had to buy another. My friend kept my first one.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BLUE...t=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item336441a084
Torque is excellent. It does everything I need. It will clear the codes and will show the readiness indicators so you can know when it's ready to go in for your emissions check.

I have an 07 Legacy GT with a Cobb AP. I have been thinking of diving into this arena so I will be following this closely.

workd freaking awesome... been using it to pull CEL codes for a while.... though it is very vehicle ecu dependent... not all ecu obd connections send all the good stuff...
08 ranger wont send timing info... where as 09 civic si does...
it works real well to see if GPS and car Speedo are synced...
little things like that kinda bother me but not like you need it unless you are tuneing the car for performance... or something...

I've had a great experience with this combo. Saved me a bunch of money from buying a standalone reader that can only tell you the CEL codes.
I've used it on my 03 sentra to monitor my o2 sensors, clear codes, read codes, and just playing with other things. Can't remember which adapter i bought, but all those china ones are so similar it won't matter much

The gauges all work great for me and I believe them to be accurate. The highest boost mine has shown with the grand prix gtp is 12.2 psi. I think stock is 7 if I remember right and well mine is not stock so I think they are accurate. I couldn't resist the urge to stuff a smaller pulley on the sc to get more go fast.

I'm a small shop owner in orlando and I bought the cheap 20 adapter about. 8 months ago. It works great with the exception of some Ford vehicles get buggy with this particular adapter.
The wow factor alone is awesome when my customers watch me bust out my evo and read and clear their codes.
And the recent ui change torque just received put it over the top.
It doesn't read ABS codes as of yet.
Swyped from a galaxy far far away......

I just got a new adapter (same one as before). I was testing and thought for sure I got a bad device. Turns out it's fine. The pairing code changed.
My 1st had a pairing code of 0000, this new one is 6789. After I figured that out, it paired fine, but still couldn't talk to the car ECU.
When I got home, I tested with my 1st device to make sure everything else still worked and it did. So, before complaining, I tried the new device again. This time it worked. I think the difference was that I was in a parking garage during the first test and couldn't get a GPS fix. At home, I did get the GPS fix and everything worked.

thanks guys! I think I am going to go ahead and bite the bullet and order mine along with the anycom bluetooth to ipod dock connector.
thanks for all the input!!!

Help with TORQUE app

Hey guys. So I just got my bluetooth ODB adapter in the mail and wanted to test it out on my 02 Infiniti with the Torque app. I was able to pair the adapter with my phone but it said it was only paired not connected. I tried numerous times to get it to pair and connect to the phone but it would only pair.
Ok, so having paired it with the phone I opened the app and went to the ODP Adapter section. This indicated that everything was connected and working properly. When I went to the Live section where it shows your cars stats live that was working. The only thing that wasn't working was the most important thing...the Fault Code section wouldn't load. I don't remember the exact message but I think it said ECU has no fault codes.
I hope all this made some kind of sense. If anyone is familiar with this app can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Perhaps u have no error codes to clear. Btw it does not show in connected after a pairing but it works. Shows no error codes on my car but i do not have a check engine light on
Sent from my LogicPD Zoom2 using XDA App

No fault codes is good thing.
If you get any fault codes, then you have emission problems.
There are not suppose to be any codes, they mean trouble and something is broke.

Yeah and usually if you have a fault code you would already know since on most new(er) cars an indicator light will go off.

Disconnect your MAF sensor, or a wheel speed sensor, go for a short drive. Guaranteed to trip a MIL.

The speed sensor will trip the abs and or traction control light but not a Check Engine light. The maf will for sure though along with several other sensors.

That's right... Good point! leave your gas cap off, that will definitely set off a fault code.

Just finished repairing my 2002 silverado with this app and my Bluetooth obdII scanner...
Best $54 spent! First repair and the combo paid for itself.... Had a faulty O2 sensor, a quick run to oreily auto parts, and within 20 min my truck was like new again
Highly recommend !

I actually just got mine yesterday and started messing around with it. So far I think its great. I had the same problem at first that it paired but not connected but you have to make sure you go into the adapter setting and choose to connect it to the reader. The only thing I wish it did was clear the CEL. Other than that it is a great setup.

What OBD dongles are you using? Price $? Link?
Thanks!

I have had this app for a year now and love it! I have been using an adapter from ebay (about 30 bucks from china) and never had any problems.
Fyi.
When you pair your obd dongle, it won't show connected unless you have the app running. When the app is not in use and you look at bluetooth devices it will say paired but not connected.
Once you turn app on it will be connected.

I bought it from a different seller but it looks just like this one. It has yet to fail me on any car I've tried it on, but sometimes you have to turn the app on and off and tinker with it to get it to connect. This is one my favorite apps.......been using it since I got my Evo.
OP = Depending on your car, disconnecting the MAF sensor may not even allow it to turn on, but you can try it. I can tell you my car won't turn on if I unplug the MAF. As other people mentioned, If you don't have any "check engine" or warning lights turned on in your dash, the fact that it's not throwing out any trouble codes means it is working correctly.

Sometimes you have to turn the car on and not just leave it in start

Yea, they're all the same part with a different sticker on it. Look at the design of the plastic case, the position of the lights, the ridges on the side, etc. I agree that this is some of the best money I've spent, too. Also, the dev for the app is always on point fixing bugs and updating features. I've used it to trouble shoot other people's cars and made several jaws drop with this app on a few different occasions. Not to mention all the extra live data it gives you that you would normally have to buy and install individual gauges for. This app is a MUST for any car enthusiast.

It absolutely does allow you to diagnose and clear trouble codes.

Anyone figure out a way to take screen shots with this app? I am trying to diagnose a problem and need to email a screen shot, but ShootMe requires the accelerometer to shake and this app seems to tie up the accelerometer. Tried using shout or block light sensor to trigger the screenshot and they don't seem to work reliably.

OBD-II scanner for GS3?

hey guys.
I've been wanting to get my hands on a OBD-II scanner to check out my car and have with me when we are out car-shopping in the next couple of months.
looking at the play store, I think I want to get Torque Pro as the software, but i'm wondering what hardware to get. I don't mind it being wired, micro-usb. don't need fancy bluetooth or wifi scanners. i just want it to be good but not overly expensive.
any recommendations?

if you get something setup can you please post your setup?

This is all you need along with the torque app. It's the exact one I'm using.
http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=160902041473

I'm using it and its working gr8!! Make sure your car supports obd2 before you buy it and the guy from torque app recommended good warranty from the seller. I'm assuming they break easily.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Just as a heads up...if you plan on using it for logging, the bluetooth ones typically read pretty slow. If it is just for code reading, that is pretty decent.

wow that is awesome. and so cheap. I'm really only looking for reading codes so I can spot those issues when shopping for cars and whenever I get a check engine light. my mechanic is a close childhood friend and he's got the $5000(+?) computer + scanner setup but i want this for smaller things so I don't have to bother him all the time.
I'll get my hands on these and report on how it works.

I paid close to thirty over two years ago for that same unit and I don't regret it at all.... works great. the torque app is one of the better if not the best app keeping up to date. I highly recommend this set up

This can read rpms in real time, and a lot of other things. I'll take some screen shots when I head out later.

are there any bluetooth obd-II readers that *don't* work with the GSIII? I was looking at a different one, so just curious if there was a certain type to stay away from.

I have this one: http://www.scantool.net/scan-tools/obdlink-bluetooth.html
It's worked great for me so far. Other than some PIDs not pulling because Ford wants to use proprietary codes, it's pulled everything I could want. I've used Torque, DashCommand, and a few other apps I can't remember right now, with no problems.

It's worked great for me so far. Other than some PIDs not pulling because Ford wants to use proprietary codes, it's pulled everything I could want. I've used Torque, DashCommand, and a few other apps I can't remember right now, with no problems.

I'm happy with mine, the little I've used it.

This one has some good reviews, too:

Lets be clear. the BT OBD2 has no limits. its a "dumb dongle"
the "intelligence" is in your car and in the software you run.
Torque will read just about anything SO what "YOU" can read is dictated by what the manufacturer of your car elected to make available over the ODBII data pipe.
fuel air and rpm are usually available.

that makes it sound even better. awesome. can't wait to get mine. should be here monday.

I actually just got the bafx scanner and bought torque pro. Its pretty nifty stuff and not a bad price.

This is all you need along with the torque app. It's the exact one I'm using.

Yep, I have the same setup. Works perfectly. The Dev for Torque also updates regularly, so he is staying on top of new cars.
And any US car made after 1996 is supposed to have an OBD-II connector, usually located under the steering wheel near the fuse panel (for most cars made in late 90's at least.)

Looks like fun! That ebay link doesn't list 02 Toyota camry but I know it has a obd2 port.. Maybe it's just not listed?
