I'm desperate. Using Coredroid 1.6 NAND and cant find even one Navigation-software which is working properly.
My tries:
Sygic Aura: Woking good, but closes itself suddenly and without proper reason.
Navigon 2.6.1: Works great for a few minutes, but suddenly Android makes a hot restart (swaps to android bootscreen) and I find navigon in the main menu. not very comfortable if you are driving in a car and need to set up the destination every 5 minutes
Igo: Works, but the voice is stuttering. Its like .. "Turn...[break]..left in 100 [break] meters. Changing the voice had no effect.
Tried to wipe everything with clockwork and reinstalled again freshly: same problems.
Did any of you guys and girls experience the same problems and have any clue on how to fix on of that issues? I need at least one fully working gps-offline-solution and the 3 above are my favourites. I dont know if its a build- or kernel problem or anything.. the gps fixes fast with each of the softwares.
I tried to search, but people are issuing other gps problems like gps is working incorrectly or does not even fix, but thats not the problem I experience.
So please, share your experiences and oppinions or show me topics that could help.
iGo works good for me. Voice doesn't stutter.
using sygic aura without any problems.

Would like to know which igo you guys are using (with version number) and isnt here anyone which is using coredroid too?

Maverick's not horrible
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
CoPilot Definitely! Great app and navigation is spot on!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alk.copilot.marketplace.eu.full&feature=search_result
MOD EDIT: Just making sure noone is tempted to follow up on the statement you posted
I have tried alot of Navigation apps for Android on the HD2 and IMHO Copilot is the best visually and has never had any problems. Sygic looks really nice (similar to TomTom) but the position keeps jumping which is very anoying as I really liked it.
Mark.
Navigon 3.5.4
Using latest Navigon 3.5.4<-- i think, on the Coredroid series with no problems. Best IMHO.
I've switched over to typhoon rom..Igo is still stuttering! Using radio version 2.15 and the very same version as you. Maybe its SD-card related, so I will try to switch it.
@mskip: installed copilot. Need to test it, but looks okay.
I'm currently using Copilot, but I've been wondering, if I should change to Sygic Aura, because it looks so great. Does the Sygic Aura have speed camera warnings?

Yes it does and it does look the best of the bunch but it stuttered all the time while I was driving its like its constantly trying to catch up with it position and when you stop it goes crazy lol. May just be the Rom im using it with so give it a go and let us know if the movement is smooth.

Yes it does, but a couple of warnings.
-Routing just plainly ... (fill out the 5 letters).
-None existant support
-no time to arrival display in portrait mode (small bug according to them 'should be fixed in a couple of weeks, that was 4 months ago and a version back)
-old maps and speedcams that don't update
-jumps position when standing still (even with a external BT device that is spot on)
I am now using iGO with a skin and to be honest I love it.
As an old iGO man I was surprised to see a 2002 gps software look in Android comming from the skinned iGO in Winmo which is still far superb in many ways.
There are 2 skins you can find for iGO in Android which make it a bit more 'old school' like.
There is the motogis skin which I do not like since you only get speedcam warnings when travelling to fast and the you have the 12carrera12_Sbertaud13 which works perfect for me.

So iGo is better than Sygic Aura? Is there any benefits having iGo over Copilot? I'm liking the Copilot, but it doesn't seem to get map or speedcam updates very often. Is there same problems with iGo?

I have tried Copilot for 1 day and there where a couple of things that bothered me. I believe it was not seeing the speed I drove or not showing the max speed on a road. Can be that I am wrong in this but I think it was that.
In iGO there are many sources to create your speedcam files from so I would concider that to be opensource like.
The latest maps I believe are from mid 2010 so still pretty ok to me.
But we are hijacking someones thread here!
Mideel any way to record this and to put it on youtube so we can have a look at it?
Im also running coredroid 1.6 and have no problems with the stock navigation. I installed Dark Angels GPS fix and get a quick GPS lock. Been working flawless in my opinion.

Its okay, since I'm interested in other oppinions about the variety of navigation-systems for android.
no need to to record it, just imagine you are watching a youtube-video and it is buffering all the time, so the clip doesnt run smoothly. thats how it sounds when the igo-voice is speaking. Just like I said, its stuttering.
But no one seems to have the same problem, so I suppose its hardware-related (SD-card or something)
Tested Copilot, its working, but Igo was always the better solution for me, since winmo 6.5 times.

Hi all,
I've looked through the first 7 pages of this forum and can't see this question asked or answered anywhere.
I have my shiny new O2 XDA Ignito sitting in front of me and it is crying out for some sat nav software.
I have looked at TomTom navigator but from reading some of the posts on this site it appears TomTom 7 is the vogue. What are the differences between the two?
Is Garmin's mobile sat nav any good?
If I go for TomTom where is the best (sorry cheapest) place to buy it from on DVD?
Cheers.
Matt.
Garmin
Garmin Mobile XT is fantastic. I have it on my Tilt and it's as good if not better than the GPS in my car. It does turn by turn verbally which is a must. It even works in my pocket. You can have 3d maps or regular. It has traffic and automatic re-routing. It comes on a micro sd card and once you plug in the card it asks if you want to install. That's all there is to it.
The maps are great and detailed. The options are many. I love my Garmin and can't figure out why people aren't jumping on it. It's a one time cost rather than every month. Garmin is a great company to deal with and will be around when many of the others are gone.

Does it come on CD/DVD though as the XDA Ignito (HTC Diamond) doesn't have a card slot?
Matt
My dad got a seperate GPS unit with the Garmin CD and it can install and show the map just fine, but cant use the internal GPS so that's totally useless. Of course that GPS brick should be optional if your phone includes a GPS (I mean you pay for it regardless).
Had to aquire that online special version just to get the thing working

Rang Garmin and after 20 minutes they answered. They conformed you can buy their software on DVD but you have to buy the GPS receiver as well... something to do with unlocking the maps using a receiver code or something!
So as a result it looks like TomTom is the way forward for me.
When I go to the TT website it makes no mention of TT 7 and yt loads of you guys on here appear to be using it. Where do I get it from and how much is it (I know Navigator 6 is £87)?
Thanks in advance guys.
Matt.
TomTom7 is superb, in terms of obtaining a copy, a mere google search would probably locate it straight away, free or paid for
Would definately go for TT7 as they are what I would call the market leaders (for Europe anyway). I've used both and perhaps gotten used to TT7, but I have been using it for TT5, TT6 and now TT7 and it works with great map support for US, Europe and Australia. Suggest you google or download the cab from numerous folks here (...search!!) and then buy the maps (whatever) accordingly!
i have both tomtom7 and Garmin XT...diference is in refresh...TomTom refreshes position like 0,5 s and Garmin 1-1,5s
But i preffer Garmin ( we have better maps for our country for Garmin )
hey man go nav n go IGO8!!! better than tt7: faster, prettier & full 7digit postcodes in uk fresh speed cameras waypoints etc

Got my X1 today and doing some testing tells me that Copilot live 7 satnav software doesnt seem very happy on X1 in case any of you were thinking of getting it. Works ok but seems to have a problem with the resolution. I was curious as Toshiba G900 is WVGA I think and it is officially supported by Copilot.
Hi Mate
Why not go for Tomtom 7, works flawlessly on mine and automatically changes to landscape when opening keyboard.
Cheers
TomTom 7 works like a charm on my UK Vodaphone X1 and swapping to landscape was flawless.
I recommend it also
This is not good news. Do you know if ALK are doing anything about this? I've done a quick search of the various forums and your post is the only reference I can find on the matter. I'd be interested to know if the Touch HD has the same problem.
I would love to use TT 7 but !

Strange, because I got a mail from ALK yesterday. It said that Copilot should work with X1. They hadn`t done much testing yet, but it wasn`t any reason it shouldn`work according to ALK.

how does it look on a 800x480 screen? resized, black bar, skewed, small icons.. ?

There will be a Co-Pilot specific version coming out - http://blog.copilotlive.net/?p=208
I presume v7 works fine, but just doesn't make the most of the resolution.

If you have a Navigation program 'successfully' working on your machine could you post it at the topic 'Programs/Utilites & Games ~ working on the Touch HD' here~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442663

Why would HTC make a phone that, on the face of it, seems to have a lot of programs that just won't work, particularly my (ancient) TomTom6. And what about TCMP ? How would I run my videos ? I'm after one as well, but am now a little nervous that it may be false economy.

Me too. I got my Touch HD this morning and tomtom 6 won't even start up. I think part of it is because of the screen resolution of the Touch HD
Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.20wp works fine (have only tried SA March 2008 mapset). So far no obvious problems experienced though I have not extensively tested everything.
I also loaded MobiTrak's HandyMAP Pro PPC V5.2 (Build 1129) with SA and USA maps. The program Handymap2.exe fails when switching maps, and once a map is opened it won't open again (file not found error). A soft reset does not fix this problem.
I tried installed 3 different versions of TomTom 6.01 & 6.03 (I'm licensed) v7.XX (out of desperation I wanted to see if I could get any version running)
Version 6 gives memory access violation.
I sometimes get the TomTom opening in triple tiny view at the top of the screen.
I can't install v7 it says this version is not suitable for this device.
I've spent hours on this and I just can't get it to work. Has anyone else been experiencing this? Can anyone that managed to get TomTom working, tell me how?
Many thanks,

Hi,
Many thanks for trying to help but I've already seen this post and unfortunately it doesn't help. I tried to install the same version 7 but it says something like device not compatible and the earliest version of 6 that I have been able to find was 6.01.
I've spent many hours on the this problem, I've already searched here and all over the web. It looks to me like only a few people have been lucky to get it working.
If I don't get Tomtom working soon then I'll be sending the Touch HD back. I would appreciate any suggestions. I don't know if it's possibly an issue about missing dlls.
Thanks,
ok thats strange, but i cant help you anymore because i dont have any Touch HD.
But i hope for you that someone will help you.

The problem is that Tom Tom6 maps won't work on Tom Tom7. If you have a world wide collection of maps like me, it's going to cost a fortune to buy all new maps.
Has anyone figured out a way to get Tom Tom 6.03 working on the HD? Surely it is a matter of tweaking??
Edit: It's not a matter of Tweaking. I found a 7.450.9028 cab in my archives from another one of my devices. I was surprised to find that this version WILL work with TomTom 6.75 maps but not lower. Fortunately all of my maps were 6.75 so I'm good to go The only thing/problem is the text and keyboard are small.
I've managed to find an old cab file for 6.00 and it worked straight away! It has all my previous maps and POI from the memory card working fine. I can live with using 6.00 instead of 6.30 so long as it's stable/reliable.
Cheers,
Hi Matterhorn!
I hope to be trying this later today. What steps did you take to try to install Tom Tom 6.03 ? I have this from my TyTn II CD and updated my maps a few months ago.
I have Tom Tom home installed on my PC and was hoping to get Tom Tom home to see the Touch HD as a new device and install to it.
I will post here what I find happens with my attempts.

TOMTOM 7
I own realy a Touch Hd. For 3 days now.I've installed Tomtom 7,450 VGA.
It works perfectly and with Gsen even horizontal.
I also didn't notice any GPS lag. So what are those people talkinh about.
I suspect that I the only have an HD in their imagination.
I have version 6.010 and i installed it, i hoped for a working install but it doesn't work at all, boot logo from tomtom is showing after that it's crashing like hell, so i founded somewhere a 6.000 CAB file and that's running perfectly on the Touch HD. very strange to me , normaly should newer version have more compatibility solutions.
TomTom 7.450 works on HD

A few people are saying that ttn7 works fine for them. It didn't work for me but maybe I just got a duff cab/version. But as licensed (v6) user with lots of maps and a traffic subscription (the subscription would probably be ok but maps definitely not) I prefer to stick with version 6 for now. Tomtom looks great on the big screen and is quick smooth and reliable so I'm happy. Done some short runs with gsen and all seems good there too.

All,
Which version of TomTom v7.910.9185 or TomTom 7.450 is better? I have been running 7.4 without issues and would like to know what the differences are before upgrading? If there are no advantages I will stay as is since it works!
Also, does the software respond slower in different build?

I recommend to stay on 7.450. Tried both version more than a week and the 7.450 is absolutly fine on the my HD, instead of a few small problems with 7.910.
No problem with TT7_910.9185_VGA black on my BlackStone
TomTom v7.910.9185 or TomTom 7.450 which is better?
There's only one way to find out...FIGHT!!
Absolutely 7.910.9185
QWERTY large
Splash full screen
More stable
What difference beetwen the two version?
Just like Batista70 , i use the TT7_910.9185_VGA black version and it's ok on my HD.
7.910 seems to update the screen a lot slower then 7.450. Is really noticable when going around roundabouts. I am sticking with 7.450 for now, even if I have to go back to a v7 map.
I'm still with the old release, it works great but I'll give a try to newer.
Anyway there are no additional features for new devices or res.
looks like most people want TomTom 7.450 !"
I experienced some problems with fonts squashed together using the old version.
For me, the newer version fixes these issues with a larger "keypad" and makes it easier to use with fingers. I've not experinced any bugs with it.
Be aware, however, that there seem to be numerous "variants" of the 7.910 revision kicking around on the internet and some of them don't seem to work properly on the 'HD. There is a link on this forum to a set of cabfiles that do work.
Right..
I have them both.. and for me.. useability is more important than any speed/refresh issue.
v7.910.9185 works fine. It has a keyboard that you can use when entering destinations.
7.450 is good.. but it has a really unusable keyboard for destinations.
Takes your pick
I use 7.910

I experienced some problems with fonts squashed together using the old version.
For me, the newer version fixes these issues with a larger "keypad" and makes it easier to use with fingers. I've not experinced any bugs with it.

could somebody please post a link with the 2 versions, I have found only the TomTom thread in the "Kaiser" section but there is only 7.450 Version
Many thanks
