I was using my brother's nexus 1 and i was really impress with his GPS. I was wondering what the best GPS for htc rhodium (wm6.1) was so i could buy/download it. I was thinking tomtom ?

You mean Satelite Navigation program? TomTom will work fine, there is a thread in this forum for a version that'll work with our phone/resolution, you'll of course have to buy maps.
iGO8 also works pretty well, and there are also free things such as Waze, Google Maps, etc.

I'm using iguidance2009, it seems to work fine. It comes on an 8Gb card, but doesn't need to be activated and has full maps for US & Canada.

If you are going to stick with WM6.1 TomTom will work, but if you goto WM6.5 it will lag really bad... I have swiched over to Garmin which works perfectly.

Not true. I'm using energyROM Leo (wm 6.5.5 w/manila 2.5) and tomtom runs smooth as anything on here.
I will second that. I am running 7.917 with 840 maps and have virtually no lag and fast aquire times. I guess it boils down to what you are used to. I prefer TomTom because that was my first and I like to customize the heck out if it with cameras, poi's voices etc.
As long as it gets you there is all that matters.
My preference
I've used iGo8, Tomtom 7.9xxx, many of the freebie/shareware and CoPilot 8. I liked CoPilot 8 the best. It's smooth, nice display, with many display options. It seemed the most intuitive to use and is very finger friendly.
I've used it on a Fuze and Tilt 2 with stock and various flavors of WM6.5 custom ROMs.

Thanks for this release.
There is no more TomTom inside. But who needs old TomTom 6.
Regular keyboard is installed by default. There is no more old Polaris "touch" keyboard.
I don't know, but I think that this ROM is really fast.
I just tested IGO 8.31. I think that my GPS signal problem (mentioned in other tread) disappeared with this ROM. I will test IGO on the road.
Here is DDI included in this ROM. DDI version 3.18 and 2 kb bigger than 3.13
http://rapidshare.com/files/162700070/DDI.rar.html
I think that video playback (coreplayer, TCPMP) is really better. Can somebody else test this?
NICE!!
Let's see if we can have something from there...
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers
The size is the same like DDI.DLL in khanx ROM 1.4 - 285.944 bajts... Only version description other...
i'm sorry.. but what exactly is the difference between 3.13 to 3.18..?
Wow! more fun to the stale looking life... Lets the operation begin..
Great share boys!
Let's go for another cooking!

Without Touch keyboard, does HTC Touch Cruise still live up its name as 'Touch'? Wonder why HTC didn't put this in the latest ROM. Is HTC expecting us to use our finger with the small default keyboard?
By the way, my Video playback seemed to be worse than previous after the upgrade. All those converted video of mine can't be played properly in CorePlayer. Lag a lot in playback.
stable and fast rom
I flashed this rom and tested for several days.
Personally I think this is very good rom, fast, very stable and very smooth, no problem with any function by now.
I tried most of the rom here and now decide to stick this rom. I would strongly recomend people who are looking for stable and fast rom to use this rom.
BTW, I flashed radio 1.59.42.23, I'm not sure if 1.59.42.15 will has same performance or not as I prefer to update to a latest version

Very smooth.
The screen is more sensitive when touching comparing to 3.13.xxx.x, no lag as many cocked roms but more stable than many cocked roms.

tomtom have lag
copilot looks like it if have, is so tiny that will not be a problem
The lag problem is due to TomTom software not the PDA...
Good news
Also they run a beta rom.
So multi touch works almost 99% everywhere.
it aint multitouch,
its nothing more then pinch to zoom.
and for those, that say, i need a stylus, you wont, allmost on every windows screen or app, you can pinch to zoom.
Almost no lag with CoPilot and iGO8 - I don't like TomTom so I didn't test.
My ROM is final - MultiTouch not working anymore in those programs

Please take what Cendaryn said above with a HUGE grain of salt.
For many years I've been reading posts here from people who claim they don't have GPS lag with their HTC devices. I've read these posts back when I had the TytnII, then when I had the Diamond, and also now when I have the HD. I had annoying GPS lag with all of these devices, and never in my life saw such device without GPS lag.
I don't believe it for a second. Until *all* users report no GPS lag, the HD2 should be regarded as having GPS lag. For all I know Cendaryn could be an HTC agent (and please note he didn't say "no lag", he said "almost no lag", which is open for interpertations, and could very well mean there's the usuall lag, which was always small, but annoying).
If you'll ask Cendaryn, he'll proabably tell you he also didn't have GPS lag with his Touch Pro 2 and Diamond 2.

Well, I wouldn't go so far as to accuse people of being "agents", but many don't realize what is meant by the GPS lag in question. Certainly I've never seen or heard that it would be present in TomTom and absent in iGo - it's a hardware/driver issue, and you can clearly see the actual coordinates not pointing to where you are when moving at certain speeds.
The easy way to see whether there is this lag is to move at, say, 40 km/h and then stop. If the lag is present, you'll see how your position on the map will still move for a few seconds to reach the point where you actually are (and notice how in iGo the dot representing current coordinates will also move).

Please read carefully I said "almost" while on the TP2 and the D2 I had sometimes SEVERE lags
I don't mind if I'm +/- 5 meters (this is what I have on the HD2) but I do mind +/- 50 meters and THIS ist what I had on the TP2/D2!
On my Touch HD, I had no lag at all with TomTom 7.5. Big lag on 7.9, so I would agree that the problem seems to be TomTom.
If it is TomTom software, why my HTC Kaiser does not have this kind of lag?
I am using TomTom 7.916.9189 ... and map v835.

I guess we're talking about different kinds of lags here. Maybe TT has a lag of its own, but the OP was asking about a different problem I believe.

Hi Guys,
Can someone tell me please, if the Sky Map application is working well in HD2? I mean, no lags and good precision in tracking mode (G-sensors and compass)?

It does, but it depends on if you have a recent Build that has a working compass. otherwise you're good to go
but you may face unsuccessful installation, avoid that by unmounting the sd card before installing

If it's that important, I'd suggest going with a phone that runs Android from the factory. I love my HD2 because its fun to tweak, but battery life issues, G sensor calibration issues, etc make it more difficult to use day to day.

I thought that the G sensor calibration issues were fixed with the last roms. It's pity because I just love the HD2 feeling and professional look.
Hi All,
Google has just pushed the new google maps v5.0.0 3D in MARKET. I have update mine and now its working fine. Now the question is for Navigation. We need new version of BrutMaps.
Thanks,
Mahesh
New version is super slick. Vector graphics make scrolling around maps so much faster with no tiling. Edges of maps are blurry and come into focus as you scroll around.
Download it now!
what i dont understand is maps is an google app but its smoother, better on iphone.
Can someone tell me why i can't find the update in the market on my Desire? I live in Europe, Lithuania...

For sure But like everyone expect are this buildings only in the USA (I didn't found them outside). But you can still tilt and rotate the map (but also the terrain layer stays flat).
Swipe
Everything is working pretty fine, the new features are awesome but - there's always a but - I can't make the two finger swipe thing. Is it working for you? I just try to make it and it zooms instead of turning around. Anyone has an idea about this?
Same here, I can tilt but I cannot get rotation
I can use the two finger gesture to tilt the map but no way to rotate it. Is there anyone can do it? how to do it?
Rotate with fingers is not Desire and Nexus One possible unfortunately. Our toys are not 100% multi-touch capable.

Press the compass on the top right twice, you'll see the rotation. 3d feature is for some cities for now e.g. Oslo

It works on Sense HD ROMs AFAIK, don't know how well though.
But it's clear: Desire doesn't really have multitouch capability. I'm really glad the 3D-Gesture works though!
The Desire's touchpanel gets confused when you cross an axis with two fingers at the same time.
Not that big of an issue, IMO. The biggest improvement in the new Google Maps are the vector graphics.

Google navigation on my HTC Incredible makes EVERYTHING look bad. I own 3 Garmins, have CoPilot Live 8 on an Imagio for world traveling, had a Tom Tom, used a Magellin, and Navigation is so quick, easy and accurate it's unbelievable.
Wonder if it will be free on Honeycomb like the Incredible.
