I have the Navigon 2100max PNA and prefer Navigon to TomTom and IGo etc. Very pleased with it so the PDA version should be just as good.
Here are the xml modifications to support HD res. Have not tried it yet as I don't have the phone yet.

Im hoping this works, 'cause navigator 6 hangs on my HD as well as on my girlfriends Omnia. Haven't found the reason yet, but I think it's a resolution thing...

You mean this new Navigon 7 PDA version I posted in the link works on the HD?
Did you use the attached xmls?
Is it full screen and hi res?
Thanks!

Their website doesn't show the Touch HD as a compatible device:
http://www.navigon.com/site/int/en/service_support/compatibility
Never used navigon, but I like what I see!

Yes but it supports other windows mobile devices and you know what, they are nearly all the same at the end of the day. As I said, I have the Navigon 2100max. Bought it half price for £99 from Halfords. It uses MN7 software which is fast. Love it.

Here is a trailer for Mobile Navigator 7 for those who have never used it to see what its like. Its very popular in Europe but less so in UK as TomTom seem to be the leaders.

It has literally just been released. Launch date is tomorrow - 17th November.

Looks very interesting. It has speed warning? Is that by comparing your actual speed against the legal limit of that particular stretch of road or merely against a preset speed?
Do they have maps for Australia?

Hello
I tried without your xml and my navigon 7 hang at startup... after I applied your xml no problem.. full screen
thanks for them

I would like to buy Nav 7 but have no idea how to install it on m HD. What should I do with the xml files?

boba23 said:
How do you guys judge the TTS quality of Navigon 7? I am also considering buying it, mainly because I hope that I get a good, and working TTS system with it. Those "hacked" TTS files that fly around for iGO8 are well .... crap in my eyes.

Hi,
how does TMC reception exactly work - will it use the implemented radio module? I mean, if I buy MN7 and install it on my HD, will I automatically be able to use TMC (with headset antenna plugged in, I mean)? Or do I need additional hardware? Mobile navigation does not make sense to me without TMC (in Germany ...), and I wonder if I really can throw away my PNA and use the Touch HD instead.
Eriol

A few answers to above questions.
I am happy with the UK Text to speech. Announces roads very well.
Not sure about if TMC uses radio built into phone as I dont have HD yet but I presume it does. I also presume you would need to plug in a usb lead or headphones to act as the antenna just like in the PNA version.
According to Navigon, TMC reception is available at no charge in the following countries: A, B, CH, CZ, D, DK, E, I, N, NL, S.
As for installing it, copy the folders in the download to the root of your SD card. Then go to folder 2577 and hit the install05 cab. Then copy the xml files in the 1st post and overwrite them with the relevant ones on the sd card.

Is the solution you present here using the full 800x480 pixel screen size or is it just stretching 640x480 to 800x480 (as proposed in some German navigation forums some weeks ago)?
I wonder why Navigon has not yet changed its MN7 to the realities and offers a true 800x480 product ...
As for the TMC: I read in different forums that TMC would not work, but none of the posters was able to test this. Another option would be to download traffic data via internet; TomTom is able to do this now with its latest PDA versions.

Actually I don't know how it works with MN7, however I changed just the "BinaryConfig.xml" into the MN 6.2.5 version... and I found the stretched result pretty ugly !!
So I came back with the "normal" resolution of 640x480... and it works well, even if a part of the screen isn't used... ;-)

Read post 11. He has tried it and says it is fullscreen. Maybe he can tell us if it looks good or not.

That's exactly what I'm trying to explain... ;-)
I did it in "fullscreen" with the version 6.2.5... and the result is awful !! Icons and menus are completely deformed...
That way, I don’t like it at all, however it’s just my point of view... ;-)

Yes but you have said you have used version 6.2.5. This thread is about version 7.0 so MN7 may be different on full screen and improved.

TomTom 7.915

After some head scratching I finally got TomTom 7.915 with maps 825.2159 working on my Touch HD, and it works a treat with map share, it’s already up dated the map even though the 825.2159 version was only released in March and you can change the car symbol woo hoo

Hello funk1980
I do believe that I’m not breaking the rules as the website I mention the software is free and I did not give the whole address, I have not giving any other info on where I got the software etc so can you please inform me how I have broke the rules.
Many Thanks Jez

Does anyone know if the 825.2159 map is compatible with 7.910? It should be.

yes those maps are compatible but I will admit I could not get TomTom 9.10 to work on my Touch hd

I did, but I'm running a 815 map.
Is there any date list for different versions so we know how old a particular map is?

I have had a look for map release dates, nothimg, all you can do is keep a check with tomtom website

TP2: GPS included or Not; Tom Tom or Garmin

Hi All
A question for those that already have a TP2. Does it have GPS or A-GPS?
Which is better: TomTom or Garmin and why?
Can you load this software on you 16GB SD card with all your music etc so that you don't have to hot swap cards?
Thanks for the assitance

TP2 comes with A-GPS, I tried both TomTom and Garmin, unfortunately both have map drawing lag on my, so I use Igo8.
Also I am using 16GB MircoSD. and listen to music too.

My Igo doesn't work

Dear radiowc,
I cannot get Igo to run on my TP2. (See this thread). Can you tell me what version of Igo you are using and post your sys.txt? This might help me.

I am using IGO8 8.3.2.83157
Attached is my sys.txt... kind of long too :>

Has anyone tried the Navagon GPS yet.
I have a stand alone Navagon and I love it. It has lane assist and many other features that Garamon and TomTom are just now introducing on their units. Navagon had it 2 years ago. I've looked at it on their website and it seems to have all the features as the standalone unit.
I was wondering if anyone had tried it to see if there were any lag or other problems. If not then I'll probably get it so when I fly somewhere I won't have to bring my standalone.
They have demo versions for other countries but not the USA.

TomTom coming soon

Hey, it's middle of june and that's summer. Which sort of summer do they mean?

lets wait and see
What tomtom said and what they do? its a million far ? We just wait and see. Might be an April fool during summer.

I thought TomTom had pulled out of the PDA market and were only doing TomTom hardware based products?

On the page you linked to there is a whole section on "Mobile solutions"

I quite like the google nav to be honest , wonder what tomtom will bring to the table to make it unique, and worth paying for

With free google nav already on android device. I don't know how tomtom will make money of their app. Not to say now apple has their own map solution launching in Ios 6.

The only thing I miss on Google Nav is a Speedo reading!!!!!!!!
Other than that its no bad.

I used to have it for my iPhone, and the only thing I liked over google nav was the fact that when music was playing, you had a skip track button at the top

Well at least here in Finland, Google Maps Navigation isn't supported. We'll have to use 3rd party navigation around here.

Turns out the apple solution uses tom tom. Cant post a link but im sure you read this as it was announced WWDC today.
Wonder what this means for android version of tom tom.

I use copilot live EU and it's perfect. I've driven through Europe with it. Google nab is OK but you don't want to be using data abroad.

In all the GPS tests using phone based software Tom Tom navigation always comes out far better than others .Routes are better road works and other delays are better .
Purchase would really depend upon the user and how often and where its going to be used .
The probability with this money behind it Tom Tom will improve further .
No reason for Tom Tom not to sell across all platforms .
Tom Tom + Apple the future could be a greater developed Siri incorporated within the navigation .

Does Ndrive app, have updated maps of the Middle East?

don't know for middle east, sorry maybe you can try with the navigation programs on the samsung store, the free ones...they use maps from openstreetmap and so they are free and quite recent and updated!
