Hi !
I'm kind of lost with these programs available for windows mobile and wich one fits with the htc s620 ...
I'm looking for a good program for maps and atlas. I don't want to program to connect to the internet to get the maps tought since i don't want my cell company to charge me for the data downloaded.
Anyone has an idea ?
No one has a program that they love for maps ? =)
google maps works good with it man..u can jus use wifi...free..has a mylocation service which is like gps and it gets pretty close..1000 meters maximum...
no one here really uses map/atlas stuff, besides google maps, because this phone doesnt have gps. i personally wont buy a gps receiver for it, because its old hardware...id rather put that money into a new phone that has gps..
Well, i'm not really wanting to buy a GPS for it ...
I just want something to look thru maps like microsoft maps (Im not sure of the name of their software) ?
I just dont wanna overload the data transfer on my cellphone in case my provider decide to charge me even if it's unlimited internet .... they charge me for each Kilobyte i load.
I was wondering if Tomtom will work on my htc without a GPS ?
I mean, would i be able to search for streets and see my way thru ?
Cause i'm planning on going to a week-end out of town so i'm preparing myself =D
I would recommend google maps, as it is free and mostly reliable for the most part.

I believe that you will need a GPS device (a bluetooth gps device to connect it to your phone).
Static Maps
I'm also looking for " static " maps. There must be some thing available that we can download. I'm not interested in GPS related maps only a static map of Toronto, Canada. Any help is appreciated.

No it has not been mention so I am going to let you all know that GOOGLE MAPS is the best.
Everyone over looks the obvious. Microsoft Live. Decent map program (and more) and its already on the device. Personally I use Google Maps and MapQuest Navigator, both with my b-speech bluetooth GPS. MS Live works just fine except the Ariel Maps are in black and white lol
I have been having some issues with Google maps. The map doesn't render quickly or at all sometimes. It used to rend fine on my Magic, so I am sure its not a hardware issue since the Desire is much, much, much faster then the magic. Has anyone else had this issue, if so, has anyone found a fix? Thanks.

no issue here. it renders instantly. did u try it on wifi aswell as mobile internet to see if its the connection?
It seems to do it on both. Internet pages load really fast, just don't know why maps don't render well.

When you say rendering, do you mean downloading bitmap data from the google maps servers? Or general scrolling, zooming etc?
I haven't noticed any issues other than my phone being stuck on GPRS and taking ages to do anything internet based...
After the recent Google Maps update there was a weird problem where it just said 'loading' for absolutely ages... Now seems to be ok.
I mean there are sometimes big chunks of the map that don't show. It will have map showing, then just cubes of the open grid that won't load. It's also slower at zooming then it was with the Magic.
I've got a few questions regarding Google Maps on my D-Inc:
1. I found mapdroyd, which is a very good start -been wanting to use my phone's gps in remote areas where I have no 3g. That being said, I don't think mapdroyd will give you turn-by-turn navigation, and I really like the google navigation. Is there any way to either increase the cache size for google maps or can I somehow download the maps to my phone?
2. I have gone and created maps/routes on google maps for when I go on motorcycle rides and have loaded them onto my phone and I cannot figure out how to get my phone to navigate (i.e. tell me directions) along my pre-planned route. Can anyone offer some insight into this issue? I realize this isn't exactly a question related to my phone, but figured someone has encountered this problem...
Thanks
I just updated google maps on my SGS2, and for some reason the navigation portion gets soo choppy and inconsistent, i got lost 3x.... finally i said F it and found my way around town. Was there any problems for any of you google map users after the update?
Definitely just you.
Google maps itself has always worked great for me. Some phone had ****ty gps so any navigation app would suck, but that is not the case with this phone.
Google and “suck” don’t go in one sentence.
I've been trying the Maps app, and zooming in and out seems to be really buggy (it stutters all the time), however, on Google Earth it works fine. I used the show touches option in Settings and the touchscreen seems to be doing fine. Any ideas?
P.S Also, I live in Argentina, and for some reason, offline maps are not available here (I had another tablet a year ago, and I could get them without any problem).
I'm looking at Maps and you are right, not as smooth as Google Earth (on it's highest quality). I've seen this before in Google maps on my Note II running a 4.3 ROM so it's not unique to the N7. A reboot usually fixes it, and did for me just now. But it's still no as smooth as seamless as Google Earth.
