Just a warning for anybody trying to buy CoPilot offline-GPS: I was not able to activate my license (worked fine on my previous HTC Hero). Support says:
Thank you for contacting CoPilot Technical Support.
Unfortunately Copilot is not supported Android 2.1 at this time.
If you have any further questions, or feel that this incident has not been resolved to your satisfaction, please do not hesitate to bring this to our attention.

I really liked copilot on my Hero, and I'm hoping they'll fix this issue asap.

I understand that you want your NAV maps locally on you memory card. I feel the same way and I hope CoPilot is 2.1 compatible soon.
You can get unlimited data from T-Mobile without a contract. Their "Even More Plus Plan" has unlimited data and texting starting at $59. per month. Of course if you are just there for a week it isn't really worth it.
After a fruitless wait for any help from the support, I debugged the problem further. I had already maps downloaded from a previous installation. Deleting (or renaming) the /sdcard/copilot directory let me reinstall copilot. Its now working fine.
even deleting / renaming the /sdcard/copilot directory, i'm getting invalid library - copilots code cannot be loaded by the system.
It may not be supported on the N1 yet but Copilot most definitely does (or can) work. Copilot Live 8 has worked on my N1 since the day I received the phone. I did not do anything special, just put in my card from my G1 (with maps already) and then entered my order # the first time I kicked up the app.
It has worked for me ever since, no problems. Whether google navigation is better than copilot is also really a matter of opinion. I prefer copilot personally.

Went through these same steps, with no luck
invalid library probably has nothing to do with the maps. it would involve the installation of the ndk component of the application. Honestly I would expect it not to work, but it does for me. No idea why.
I have not unlocked the phone yet... have either of you?
CoPilot work on both 2.1 and the N1, I have been using it since day 1. If a few people are having problems with it ok but you should change the thread title as its misleading and untrue.

T-mobile 3g is not available everywhere...A program like Copilot will allow you to use gps without any internet.
There's a video of N1 running coPilot on youtube.
youtube.com/watch?v=gFJKWRcQ51Y
Hmm I have installed it successfully and downloaded my maps, but it does not detect my GPS (yes it is activated in phone settings).
In fact it seems to detect it, but does not get any signal (the GPS icon does not appears in the notification bar, like when I'm using Maps)
This message was deleted by its author
Works perfectly on my N1.. biggest issue I had was transferring the licence from Windows Mobile to Android, which CoPilot said was possible but didn't say how.
Eventually I found a downloadable installer, installed that and copied the maps to my SD card and it activated and worked fine.
Works fine for me... the title of this thread should be changed as its an untrue statement.
CoPilot v8 problem solved!
It seems my problem was that I had an extra map license. After the support manually de-activated the extra map license on my previous phone, I could now activate it again on the N1.
Note that I followed the FAQ and deactivated my copilot license on my old phone:
Q. I'm going to buy another device in a month's time, can I move CoPilot Live 8 to another device?
A. You can move your CoPilot Live v8 license from a Windows Mobile or Android smartphone to another Windows Mobile or Android Smartphone. Simply deactivate your license by selecting Menu > Settings > Licensing. You can then re-install CoPilot Live on the different phone. Please note you cannot move a CoPilot Live v8 license from or to an iPhone.
If you only have the CoPilot license (no extra maps) then this will suffice to move to a new phone.

Did you move it from Windows Mobile to Android though? It seemed to be a pain to do this, because of the lack of help from CoPilot.
Im confused about what he says on the description on the app...Something about not being able to use for 10 days after payment? Whats all that about?

No I moved from HTC Hero to the Nexus One. At least in principle you don't need any help from support, just deactivate your license on the old phone and re-activate on the new phone. All you need is internet access and the serial number.

Hi
Having tried TomTom 7, Copilot and the "try before buy" Navigon; I found all to be wanting in some way. I have not tried: Garmin XT is fixed to a SD card - I don't want to swop cards; IGO 8 looks good but seems to require lots of fixes.
Is there a GPS application (not google or similar online app) that just works from the box or cab ?
I like the google app but I don't like the high data rates which could get expensive when I'm roaming.
I just want a GPS app that has its own maps on my SD card (16 gbyte card so loads of space available). Does this really exist ?
When I check the official GPS provider sites (e.g., TomTom and Copilot) then they say their product is not compatible with the HTC HD - I guess that explains all the various hoops people have to jump through to get an app working.
I suspect I have to wait until spring next year for the app companies to provide a working HD compatible version ? Or, does anyone know better ??
Thanks & holiday greetings to all, Dave.
You can't compare Google Maps with a navigation solution like TomTom, IGo or Navigon. Google Maps is just showing the area around your current position, whereas the other programs can navigate you through the country.
As far as I know TomTom works just without any work, all others need to be configurated. How to do that is mentioned in the various threads here, so it shouldn't be a problem at all.

Come again? I've been using Google Maps for over a year to navigate me around Brisbane. (No that's not the country but I'm sure it's capable of that.)
Well I can use google to navigate as it has a "show directions" option. I know it is not as sophisticated as the other GPS apps.
My problem with google is it needs a data link which gets expensive when I'm out of my home country (hence need often a GPS) because I have to make a gprs link to have google working.
TomTom does not work on the HD - Version 6 fails to work. Version 7 works fine but there seems to be no way to legally load maps except the single trial map of one city.
Thanks anyway for answering.

I never heard Google Maps talking to me something like "in 400 metres turn left". Maybe I missed something .

Does CoPilot work on the HD?
I've got Version 6 currently on my XDA Orbit & was thinking of upgrading
Garmin Mobile XT works great on my HD
Cheesy Dave / Gulioth - I have used CoPliot v7 from day 1 on my Touch HD without any problems. Transferring it from my Touch Cruise took 5 minutes over the air, deactivating and reactivating (something you cannot do with TTN6).
It looks really good on the HD screen and is very easy to navigate through the menus (no pun intended). I am currently using v7.7.0.134 and ALK are bringing an even friendlier version out for the Touch HD shortly. I have used this, TTN6, TTN7 and Telmap Navigator in the recent past and various others going back to routeplanner on a Psion series 5.
Whichever gps software you use, it will always be "short" in some way or other. As far as the HTC Touch is concerned, CoPliot is by far the easeist overall to install, register and use with a touch screen & the maps are fairly up to date. I can also import my own POIs and safety cameras from TTN.
I also gave Garmin XT a try.
One problem though, up until now, i am feeling that there is Lag or the cpu is not following up too fast to show changes, so if i am making a turn in a roundabout, you can see a strange thing happen on the screen.

Thanks davast. I actually got a copy of CoPilot which was sold to me as CoPilot7 for windows mobile. It turned out to be the specific version for the HTC Diamond.
I think I will wait for the new version and double check this time that the supplier knows what they are doing.
Regards, D.
What's latest CoPilot version? Is it v7? Does anyone know if the next one is imminent?
I own v6 for my XDA Orbit 1 and will probably upgrade rather than purchase new version as think it works out cheaper.
Upgrade = £48.93
Dealer = £59.95
I'm going to try a new one when I get a minute, beta atm but works on my hacked Hermes to wm6.1 and is nice

Hi Gulioth, I received version 7 "for the HTC Diamond" which will only load to the internal storage of the Diamond - hence, I returned it as this would not work on the HD.
I don't know the specific current version other than "7". If you have CoPilot Central then you should be able to find it. Unfortunately with the Diamond version there also is no copy of the CoPilot Central.
I have returned the Diamond version and I'm sitting waiting for someone (PLEASE !!) to make a legally correct version work.
If you check here: http://www.alk.eu.com/copilot/compatibility.asp you can see that ALK says the HD is not yet compatible.
I've been using OCN8 (on course navigation) on my HD for a month. It's beautiful and has TTS for enhanced street naming in turn-by-turn directilns. The only problem, out of the box, is it only runs in portrait mode, but it does it beautifully in all the HD high res glory.
There's a thread in the Blackstone section with workarounds for running landscape.
Thanks - that's a new one to me - I will investigate "on course navigation"
Ciao, Dave

Hmmm - this seems to be only USA & Canada according to their site:
Map Coverage USA and Canada.
The latest maps and up-to-date points of interest for United States. Full road coverage with over 10 443 000 kilometers of updated roads, and over 12.3 millions points of interest. Includes maps of Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico.
http://www.oncoursenavigator.com/ocn8_intro.aspx
I did not specify in my original question that I'm based in Europe.
I'm looking for a legally correct GPS application that works "out-of-the box" or direct from the cab without having to tweak xml files or anything else and which is recognised by the software provider as compatible and acceptable. TomTom and CoPilot do not yet list the HD as a compatible device. I also don't want a software that is linked to one micro SD card (like Garmin XT).
I believe that CoPilot will be the right choice when it is HD compatible. I like also TomTom but it seems so difficult to make it work - there are many threads here about the tricks needed to make maps work. I do have TomTom running but only with the sample map. Trying to get TomTom home to accept the HD and legally download new Maps does not seem legally correct now - maybe next year ...

WOW - this seems to be a first, a GPS app that claims the HTC HD is compatible:
http://www.66.com/route66/index.php?cid=UK&act=1&prodid=5723
TomTom has been posted on the forums for years now. This is the latest version (specifically the VGA/WVGA version) that works with the Touch Pro 2. I have custom packaged it so that it will not mess up an existing Bluetooth stack, as well as removing the Today plugin (which I personally think is garbage).
If this package somehow violated the TOS of this site (I can't imagine how, a quick search produces multiple links on these forums), then I apologize. TomTom doesn't seem to make available/support the software for Windows Mobile PDAs on their Website (iPhone is there though, how odd). Their policy has always seemed to be the sale of maps, so I'm releasing these packages with that in mind.
Note: DO NOT ask me for maps. Do not ask any question about where to get them. Purchase v8 maps from TomTom. If you use software, support the developer (so they can keep their job and make better/new software) by actually PAYING for it. I know, its a novel concept.

great thanks been looking for a version that works on tp2 for ages now does this work with tomtom home?
just curious went to the tomtom site to purchase the maps for this app. options it gives me is for maps for touch pro but not touch pro 2 does it matter would it have mattered if i p icked anyone arnt the maps all the same?
No, the phone you have doesn't matter. You just have to make sure the maps you are using will work with the version of Navigator you are using.
so im guessing based on that version 7.9 the version 8 mapps will work. However on the site i go to maps for HTC touch pro and under US it only gives me brazil or mexico I cant seem to purchase v8 maps for US. It couldnt be that difficult could it? Also i installed the app from the post but at the end it tellsme the voice options are not avail- was that stripped from this version? So if i can get my hands on the maps will the voice options all return? by voice I mean the person giiving the directions you can pick from anyone and all say no avail to me
Thanks for posting that. I'm another who's been looking for a while to get this to work on my TP2. Tomtom say it won't work & is not compatible with the TP2 but I've just downloaded the one free area map they allow and it works well. All my customers over the next few days are within this map area so I'll be testing it heavily. If it passes that test, I'll pay for the European map from TomTom.
Thanks again.
curious do you need a data plan to use the gps function tomtom? I mean if i bought a tomtom i dont need a data plan so it seems it wouldnt need one on the phone either right since the gps is built in and you just need to capture the satellite signal?
thanks a lot!

For the moment you can receive GPS signals for free
The rapidshare link has exceeded the limit.
OK, I have bought TT7 on microSD - prefviously used on my Kaiser.
I have been trying to install on the TP2, but until now it always gave the 'This product is not compatible with your device' message.
I have copied the contents of the TT7 disc onto my 16gb MicroSD, then installed this cab over the top successfully.
I can now get into the application, but it will not accept the activation code - either that code that came with the TT7 disk, or the code from the maps I previously bought for TT6 (which I migrated to TT7 on the kaiser).
Any ideas? Has anyone successfully used their TP2 with TomTom Home to activate maps etc.?
When I try to link to TomTom Home it says I have an 'invalid version' - so can't transfer my subscriptions. This makes this pretty pointless - as I can't activate a map and can't use TomTom 7 at all.
Has anyone managed to use this successfully?
CoPilot is the way to go for GPS Navigation. I just purchased mine for under $40. I've been using TomTom for a couple years but for those of you interested in going the legit route. Copilot Live 8 should suffice.
thanks

Hey is the VGA version the same as they WVGA version?
TT7
OK, to make looong story, short........that was about 2-3 years ago i owned a Kaiser and then i had a Navigator 6. Therefore i had an account with TT. I tried iPhone, G1, MyTouch, then few days ago i got Rhodium, and now I needed my TT back. I found that link to d/l TT7, installed it, downloaded a free map, worked well. Then i downloaded a TomTomHome from TT website, after installation, it prompted me to get a newer version, so i did. Unfortunately, that new ver kept showing me that my ver of installed software is not a good version, and i couldn't do anything. I wasn't even able to link my Rhodium to my old account . So i have unistalled that new ver of TT Home, got the older version again from their website, when it prompted me again to get newer one, i just pressed "no". Then i bought new maps, downloaded it, created a new "yahoo" email address, created new account with TT, linked me new phone to the site, installed new maps, tested, works perfectly! It seems like big effort, but it was worthed to get new TT7 for only $69, wasn't it?
That way might not work for everyone, i just wanted to share with you guys, how i did it. The only pain in the ......., was that i had to wait close to 1 hour to get those maps d/l, and another 30 or so minutes to get it installed. But, what the hack................

Interesting - which version of TomTom Home are you using? Is it version 2? (I don't think version 1 even recognises TT7). You don't know anywhere I can download a previous version do you? Thanks - you've given me some hope!
Maybe someone has already posted this, but the T-Mobile MDA Compact V update to Windows Mobile 6.5 is available on the UK website:
http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=home&cat=SOFTWAREDOWNLOADS&tab=1
Let me know how you get on, and then I may try it myself!
Thanks for the update! Been checking almost every day, but forgot today...
I sent mine off for repairs a few weeks back and it came back with 6.5 on it. Dumped the ROM and posted it on here in the Topaz ROMS section.
http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581070
BTW it's way better than the 6.1 stock rom but not as good IMO as the cooked rom I'm using (Dutty's HG1)http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=579076
Yes it pretty much still sucks. Better Home Screen please T-Mobile? Maybe throw some Sense UI type widgets in there??
A list of pros and cons (specific to this phone) would be useful. I read of one con: the standard WiFi connection has gone. Has anyone found improvements in Bluetooth connectivity/functionality?
Does anyone know if it has CoPilot 7 preinstalled (like the T-mobile 6.1 ROM)?
My wife had a real problem getting CoPilot working when she got the Compact V. The 18 month freebie ran out after 1 month and, in the end, T-mobile just sent her an unlimited license key.
Because she had this much hassle to get CP7 working, I've not wanted to put another ROM on for her, which would mean she loses it. [I'm not sure whether everything she'll need to reinstall CP7 is on the storage card (which she can then use her license key with) or whether there are key files that are only present in the T-mo ROM.]
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks Mike. Been checking every flippin day for this.

I have an idea that CoPilot is associated with the SDcard. I upgraded my SD-card from the standard 2GB to 8GB. I copied CoPilot across, but it would not work. I had to first unregister it from the old SDcard and reregister on the new SDcard.

I did just copy the files over to a 16gb card and it worked. This was before I had the correct license installed. But then that is just a text file isn't it, so can be readily copied around between cards. The programme itself was pre-installed on the handset. What we were not given was a retail sd card version of the programme - the card didn't have the 2577 folder that a retail version would have included, so we are not in a position to reinstall.
Yes this does have CoPilot 7 preinstalled on it. The main program is built into the ROM. You will also need to keep the SD Card files as they are still necessary.
*BEFORE* you upgrade, you first have to deactivate your CoPilot key in the CoPilot 7 Licensing screen. This will give you a deactivation code.
You then go to the ALK deactivation website on your computer (just do a search) and enter the product key and new code.
Then you can flash the 6.5 ROM and reactivate your CoPilot 18-month license.
Forget to do this and you'll have to deal with ALK directly and get them to deactivate it after the fact.
Thanks very much for confirming this. Now of course my wife is asking what else is actually better about the 6.5 ROM. Although I jumped at the chance to upgrade my TP2 when the new ROM came out, I must admit I'm struggling a bit to tell her what the killer features of the new ROM may be!
- Marketplace, well that's available in 6.1 now anyway.
- Slightly more touch friendly, but nothing too groundbreaking.
- Weather wallpaper - not sure if this is even in the T-Mobile ROM as they managed to mangle the TouchFlo clock in the stock 6.1 ROM.
- ???
Anyone have any thoughts on what might persuade my "if it ain't broke, don't fiddle with it" wife to upgrade?

FWIW - I seem to recall that after a hard reset, the first boot seemed to take a long time and I got the impression this was because CoPilot was installing itself. I also found a Copilot*.cab file (8Mb or so in size) in the \Windows directory, so I wonder whether this is basically the same as would be present in the 2577 folder.
Of course, I haven't actually tried using this to install on a clean ROM...
Agree that one does, of course, need the SD card as this has all the map data, etc.
Just wanted to say that I was unable to deactivate my copy of CoPilot 7 Live on my Compact V, the option just wasn't there on the licensing page. I went ahead and upgraded my rom anyway and am now unable to use CoPilot, so for anyone else wanting to upgrade, if you can't deactivate then CoPilot will not work when you upgrade.
Hopefully ALK will sort this for me.
I had this problem after resetting my Compact V (6.1, not tried 6.5 yet). I still had the original product key/licence code in my IE url history. After relaunching this page I selected the 'free trial' option and it worked!
I have upgraded the OS, but the previous product key that gave me full European cover didn't work. I reinstalled Copilot using the cab file - as metioned above - and that allowed me to start the registration process again, as when I first got the phone. This opened up Internet Explorer, and offered a 18-month evaluation for £0 but at the end of the process it is only UK/IE
Anyone got it back up to full EU?
ps I too didn't have any deactivate options originally, though I do now...
New query - On the web I see lots of screen grabs and videos of Diamond 2s with 6.5 and home screens featuring animated weather, more colourful icons along the scroll bar, etc. Have T-Mobile provided an older version of HTC Sense in this ROM [2.1 instead of 2.5]?
Yes it is older. Not sure which Sense UI is used, I got rid of T-Mobile 6.5 once I installed it (hated it personally) and went the Cooked way....
HI guys,
I just got my new HD2 and am loving it but i was wondering if i could some how transfere my co pilot licence from my iphone to my new hd2?
Dont really want to have to pay for it twice?
Any ideas?
Cheers
JK
Call or email Co-pilot, I saw on some random youtube review of the HD2 that they have someway of transferring licenses i think.
I had already bought and was using CoPilot on a different WinMo phone and was able to deactivate my old phone and then activate it on my HTC HD2.
If you go into the Licensing option you can deactivate your Copilot (Settings -> Show More Settings ->Licensing) and the you can activate your Copilot on your HTC HD2
I'm not sure if this works from iPhone to HTC, no harm trying as you can just reactivate it if not.

Zut alors! I sold my iPhone after wiping all the data of it and didn't think to write down any licensing code from it. I have already paid for the Iphone Copilot but just assumed that it was lost money and now my HD2 trial had just expired
The CoPilot website specifically states licenses cannot be transferred to or from an iPhone
CoPilot said:
You can move your CoPilot Live v8 license from a Windows Mobile or Android smartphone to another Windows Mobile or Android Smartphone. Simply deactivate your license by selecting Menu > Settings > Licensing. You can then re-install CoPilot Live on the different phone. Please note you cannot move a CoPilot Live v8 license from or to an iPhone.

NO worries guys - just gonna have to suck it up and fork out another 30 big ones plus another 30 big one for a larger sd card.
God dam hippies!

ALK have restored the CP8 download. Link here - thanks to Antus.
***Update 2*** 06th June 2011
It would seem with the introduction of CoPilot 9, a number of changes have occurred to their web site. As such, the old free APK update for CP8 has been removed from their system and can no longer be downloaded. It's still legit to own as it requires activation, so if someone could host the file contact me and I'll add the link, otherwise, this thread is effectively invalid. Sadly I no longer have the APK in question, because I just invested in CP9.
***Update*** 15th August 2010
This isn't specifically for the HD2. In fact this works for any device! WinMo -> Android OR Android -> WinMo.
Since those geniuses Coutlla/Dan fixed GPS for the HD2 Android, I thought for those of you who have purchased Co-Pilot and wish to transfer it over to Android, I'd make a small guide.
Requirements:
- A *LEGAL* copy of CoPilot 8 for Windows Mobile and the license key
- The latest version of CoPilot 8 for Android (works in Froyo now): LINK RESTORED
I bought it about 8 months ago for my HD2, for Windows Mobile 6.5. Great piece of software. I contacted ALK to ask if I could transfer between OS's and they said no, it wouldn't work! It also clearly states on their web site that transfers don't work: LINK RESTORED
So being stubborn, I thought I'd take my own license from WinMo and deactivate it, stick it into Android and needless to say - it works and I have a fully legal copy of CoPilot 8 running on my Android Froyo device. Those cheeky beggers at ALK!!!
So how to get it working:
Make sure you still have CoPilot installed under Windows Mobile and activated;
Launch CoPilot. Go to the Menu|Settings|Licensing (NOTE: If you can't see this, find "More Settings" and select that first to show Licensing);
Select your Map Region from the list (Mine was UK and Ireland), then press "Deactivate";
CoPilot will now shut down;
Boot into Android and using an installer, install the APK file which is in the requirements section at the top of the page or here (LINK RESTORED);
Open CoPilot from the Menu and it will ask for your license info. Enter this as you did when you first bought CoPilot (usually a username and password);
Bada Bing. That should be it, all working!
Just to clarify one further time, this is only for legally purchased licenses. No questions about dodgy software please. Thank you.
Very interesting, thanks !
How about Map data ? where do u put it on the card ?

It should be on the root of your SD Card in a folder "CoPilot".
I wonder if the text to speech feature will also work.... using the current key.
Thanks, thought that would work, and now I know it will! I'll be setting it up as well.
That was the only reason I would need to go back to WM. I use CP8 all the time!
Hero!

Haha, my motivation for switching was the same. It's better in Android IMO. For example you use the Android keyboard so it's qwerty and accepts voice input. It also has controllable volume over bluetooth For me I always listen to Music via bluetooth and in WinMo there was no control over individual volumes. If I had the volume at a normal level for music, the speech was far too loud. Now it's all controllable

Man I hated that Copilot non qwerty! Wow, speech too! Neat, just need to download the cp8 app for android now...
@OP (and everyone else)
Would anyone mind if I wrote this up on the front page, as it's great news. Anyone foresee any issues if this becomes 'publicised'? If so, I will hold off.

My only concern would be that Copilot ALK may not want us to transfer. But I do think that other HD2 owners or anyone coming from WM should be, and would be, happy to transfer/use CP8 that they paid for on Android.
So I guess ...go for it. I'm switching ASAP just in case...hehe.
Ok, cool thanks. Just thought I'd quickly check - I had the same thoughts as you (noellenchris). I've written up a short article on this, so it should get published sometime tonight/tomorrow (GMT).
If there any strong objections let me know
All working, the only thing I should have done was deactivate Premium Live Services first in WM.... before the UK/IRELAND maps.... not really a big problem as the live services are a waste of time anyway.
To be honest, comparing Copilot to the free Google Navigation app I think Copilot will be dead and buried within a year.
what about tomtom navigator?
deactivation in android?

I have done this before to transfer between winmo devices and it works a treat. Do you know if you can do the reverse of this and deactivate it in Android and then reactivate it back in winmo? Be useful to know before I get locked in to android.

Quite frankly - I'm flattered, and yes of course you can post it.

Yes it is 100% reversible. ALK can't be bothered with all the enquires I think and I truly believe it's a good way for them to make a quick extra money! As a user who paid for it once, I refuse to pay again. Take Photoshop for example, if you buy it for a mac, you can use the same license on a PC and vice versa.
Enjoy!

AFAIK, there is no TomTom for Android. Quite frankly they are so behind with their mobile software, it's just not worth using anyway.
Hope ALK is planning on integrating the contacts in CP8.... Other than that, it works great.
Anyone know if it will be possible to deactivate my WM version when I don't own my old windows phone any more?

Yes you can, but you have to contact them via email or their web site. Just explain and ask them to release your license. I've done it on numerous occasions.
