Navigon with Artemis

Has anyone tried Navigon MN5 with Artemis yet?..........
Thanks
Rafiki

I did.. Navigon works fine, but is really slow on my Artemis. TomTom is much faster. I tried Navigon because of the TMC support, but i can't get TMC to work on my device. I'm going to try iGo 2006 as well, but for now TomTom does the job very well.

Now I'm using iGo 2006. I can recommend this piece of software to everyone, it's much faster than both TomTom and Navigon. The looks are incredible.

My tomtom takes ages to find the sats when you first boot it up. Is this normal??

Try to find the upgrade to v6.02 as this has the option for "Built In GPS" and it'll then use the Quick GPS data. Cold start is now 10 seconds for me with warm start being about 3 second!

Navigon 6
Navigon 6 works fine, but it is really slow on Artemis, is there anyone knows how to turn the first warning off in the begining of screen ?

Does iGo support QuickGPS so that it can lock on fast?

A cool nav program is Route 66. Works fine and gets a fix in approx.10 sec. Uses same maps as Navigon btw!
TomTom is a joke if you live in Eastern Europe. Either no maps at all or very poor with only very major roads.

I only work with DestinAtor on my Artemis. Version 6.0.0.
Very fast fixes (approx 6-9 seconds) and response from map is better then TommyTommy, according to a friend of mine. He switch over to DestinAtor aswell.

Guys can someone tell me what settings they have on their Artemis' GPS Settings and on their TomTom 6.200?
On my Artemis' GPS settings, I have it set to:
GPS Programs Port: COM4
GPS Hardware Port: COM2
Baud Rate: 4800
Manage GPS automatically set to: ON
And on the TomTom settings I configured it to use the Other NMEA GPS Receiver, set the baud rate to 4800 and then when it asks "GPS is connected to:" I just select COM4 which is the first option.
Now this works for me pretty well but the weird thing is my HTC P3600 seems to be a lot quicker at getting a fix and it has connections with more sattelites and a better signal than the Artemis!
As far as I know, the artemis is suppose to be much better when it comes to GPS because it has the latest Sirf 3 GPS receiver and from what I read somewhere, the P3600 has another GPS chip not as good as the Sirf 3.
Would be good to know what settings everyone else is using. By the way TomTom only seems to detect the GPS when the GPS Programs Port is set to COM4 on the Artemis' GPS settings. Setting this to anything else doesnt work.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I put the Navigon 6,2 software on my P3300 today. Awesome stuff. The update 6,2 has improved the Speed alot.
The only thing that i need help with is the TMC service.
how can i get that up and running?
Thanks
Tim

Hi,
I'm currently running navigon 6.1.5 on my P3300 with WM6 (NewArtemis2). Every now and then I'm getting the message that my memory is full. At that moment I can choose to end different programs. Normally or MN6 or phone. Because I'm using navigation I choose telephone. Then after a few minutes I'm getting a network faillure and MN6 ends.
Is this a known problem and if it is, is there a sollution for it?
Thanks for your help.
Paul

Bringing up an old topic again.
I tried to install Navigon MN6.2 on my artemis. Everything goes well, except for the images on the screen, it's far from smooth.
How did other people manage to run MN6.2 to run smoothly on there Artemis?

i780 GPS

Hi Guys, just brought an i780 a week ago, I have just activited the GPS provided by the phone (NavFone PPC) , i m unable to detect the phone gps and I have went back to the shop but the staff are unable to help. would anybodt able to help me on this.

You have to use a program that shares your GPS Port with more common Navigation Software. I Recommend GPS Gate, it's quite a good tool and works like it's supposed to.
Regards,
Luís

no GPS Gate is not good soft !
a lot of bugs with this soft. delay with TT6,
you can search in the forum.

Its only me or ttn6 goes very slow with i780? (at least the demo route mode, I didnt test on real driving) while sygic moves the graphics very smoothlly....

There are a couple of threads about the i780 GPS here - just search - there's advice on using gpsgate or portsplitter.
But after I flashed the SCH3 rom , tt6 works fine without any additional software.

Update to DXHC4, then to DXHD1 (PDA part) .. set GPS (first tab) to COM8 .. and both Garmin and TomTom will work.. all this is covered already in quite a few threads

I Use NDRIVE works fine without any plugins

I fixed issues with PathAway and OziExplorer using GpsGate. Latest release - no problems or delays or camera issues so far. It works just fine with those two plus Garmin XT..
More details step by step...

[Q] external GPS app that works on 2.2.1 ?

I'm using Darkys 7.0 Rom and need to find an app that will connect to an external GPS device (Holux).
The bluetooth device can pair with the SGS, bit non of the apps from the market (that I've tried) have been successful in using it.
It did work when I had the native O2 UK 2.1 firmware and "Bluetooth GPS Provider" from the Android Market, but does not with 2.2.1 (Darkys Rom).
Maybe it's the Rom or perhaps I need a better app?
Any ideas ?

works for me on Stock JPY

Thanks.
It caused the SGS to reboot a few times but now it appears to be fine.
Thank you again.

Have you tried "Bluetooth GPS mouse" in market (free) ?

Bluetooth GPS written by Googoo Android works well with my Wayfinder BlueGPS external GPS. I had no problems with Google Maps and my favourite Navigation Application IGO MyWay.
Bluetooth GPS Mouse and Bluetooth GPS provider works well with Google Maps application but both of them had problems with IGO.
I am using Darkys Rom 7.7
