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.

I got TomTom 5 working but like you said the keyboard doesn't work right so I can't type in Addresses. But Im like you, I will be getting Route 66 soon. Be sure and let us all know how it works, im interested.
iGO - GPS software, that works!

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.

Hey guys,
i am thinking of picking up the tf600t and a dock (looks like i can get both for 400 new), and was wondering, if i dont like the ASUS preinstalled apps if i can remove them?

Regards,

Sorry, is this replacing an HP touchpad running android or where you planning on installing android on the tf600t (impossible at this time)?
Most of the basic windows 8 apps seem to be uninstallable. Apart from weather for some reason.

replacing my HP Touchpad that runs android... i did not plan on putting android on the ASUS, even if it was possible.
i have heard that the basic apps cant be uninstalled, but the ASUS ones, that you wouldnt see on let's say a SURFACE... can there be removed?

Yes, you can remove them.
Technically even the basic or core apps can be removed, it just takes a bit of work. They don't consume that much storage though, and you can remove them from the Start screen very easily.
Honestly dont buy the Asus. It's really bad quality.

Seems that this is a software issue, introduced by one of the latest updates... im sure it will get resolved soon.
other than that, how is the tablet, and keyboard dock? is it worth it for 400 brand new?
has the app ecosystem for RT improved much since launch?

Seems to be more related to static electricity which is a hardware issue that should have been caught during the design process.
Installing android on my Asus RT TF600T
I am absolutely hating windows 8.1 on my Asus RT TF 600T and disparately want to rid myself of it. Is it possible to install an Android system OS on it and where would I get such a thing from? I have hard rooting it is possible on the earlier versions on the transformer Pads .... will this work on the TF600T ?
... nope. I mean, in most ways, Windows RT devices are already "rooted"; you've got Admin access and arbitrary control over the file system and registry. However, if you mess with the bootloader or system libraries in any way, the firmware will prevent the system from booting. So no, Android isn't currently an option. Why'd you buy a Windows tablet if you wanted an Android one?
My son managed to wipe everything on my T700 and it won't boot. I need the stock firmware but every site that has the firmware available is going to take 10 hours to download from. Can someone please help me get the stock firmware without having to wait 10+ hours!?
I'll need the US version.

Hello. Google Samsung updates and search for the firmware you need. Cellular south is U.S.A on the website. Then download this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57842725
And fill out the info from the website. Then you should have it downloaded under an hour

And keep your kid away from your tab!
That worked and my tablet is back. The little bugger is determined to get his hands on any electronics. He knows how to unlock any tablet that we put in front of him AND HE IS ONLY 15 MONTHS OLD!

Precocious little bugger! Think about getting him a "kid's tab". Much more rugged and might help keep his mitts off yours?
Yea, I've been thinking of getting him one for awhile. Just haven't had enough disposable income yet. Trying to move and whatnot. It also may not work. He's already got his own PS3 controller (it doesn't work) and yet he still insists on playing with mine, but only when I'm using it. He's definitely techy though, like myself.

The next generation(s) will be exposed to things we can't imagine. An idea. You might keep an eye on Swappa. All sorts of devices from users at some relatively good prices. Have bought some items there before. No issues.
can anybody tell if there is another pen working with The Zenpad 3S 10
the zpen is garbage
is the Bamboo ink working?
what digitizer is build in?

Been wondering the same thing. I haven't tried the Z Pen, but it's a bit pricey to take a chance with, even if I plan on trying to get a few years out of this tablet. Did you ever find anything?

That's too bad, but thanks for the quick reply.
Crud...Came hoping to find an answer to this question, too. The z-pen bites completely.
Offset is ridiculous, pressure sensitivity is really shoddy, and actual note taking and or drawing is as bad as if I was using one of those rubber-nubbed capacitive stylii that come bundled free with pretty much everything.
I love the tablet itself, but this stylus is a joke. I just can't afford to throw money at replacements unless I know they work. Almost makes me wish I still had my Note Pro 12.2...

Ya, I paid the high price for the Asus Pen and it broke..
Anyone find an alternative? The pen six for many reasons, including the holding clip is cheap and breaks easily.
I've got a Lenovo Pen for my convertible laptop but I've not tried it on my tablet. To be honest I didn't even think of it until I saw this thread. I'll give it a try because the Lenovo pen is really nice. Should I try and special apps etc? I'm on stock ROM and don't think I'll be rooting this device for a while.

I only messed with it for about 10 minutes before I went to my sons basketball game. I'll try again when I have more time to mess with it but I don't think it's going to work. BTW - The Lenovo pen works great on my laptop.
Hi, I am looking for a de Googled ROM that has no hiccups, or at least very few. Any recommendations? I was thinking about going with Lineageos. I use this phone for business, so I really cant afford to do with phone, with call problems, and I run dual sims.
Thanks
