No place to put my car charger in my UPS truck! haha or I would've had it on ALL day. I'll ask my mechanic if he can niggarig one for me sometime this week. 5 hours and close to 6k in points is a decent day. I checked my coverage area and saw how tight the AP points showed-up from the area I was in today. Just the tip of the iceberg~! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zippyioa:
Although 1 sec is great in the car when you can charge it, it would be great to get an updated version (if you have the time :) )

Thanks again for your input shogunmark, the 1-20 second cabs are brilliant. I am using the 1 second mostly for driving and am finding SO MANY EXTRA AP's

Cheers

Hi

The 1 to 20 sec cabs run but do not change my registry setting. I get a message the "Program was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile Software"

Anyway I manually edited the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\WiFi and changed the ScanInterval from 20 to 3.

This does gobble up the power but with a charger OK.

Like you said in a car the increase in AP's is great :)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shogunmark:
well what i was trying to say is that the tweak works, like lets say you choose 5 seconds, then selection on the screen will immediately change to 1 but the registry will reflect 5...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shogunmark:
This was designed for the Kaiser, not sure if it will work with other phones or not, sometimes the scaninterval is located in different spots...

Question: Do I have to pay for anything if I use "Local" instead of "Remote" for storing data? It says premium feature. Also, how often does it sync if it is in "Auto Sync" mode?

- TKN
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bigdish:
As I understand it (and it works for me) if you select local AND work offline it does not cost you anything. When you finish your logging select stop. You can then sync - which will come out of your data plan or sync via Active Sync with your PC which will will come out of your ISP plan.

Once I forgot to select the work offline box (I had trail enabled) and it synced my position according to the Location Update Rate and this came out of my data plan.

Ok it was not much but with Orange data rates it was still unwelcome.

I have since moved to T-Mobile and you can run with Remote with constant updates and the cost is minimal.

So if you do not have a data plan work with Local and select offline. Sync via your PC.

All you lose is the trail feature and your latest position on the "Buddies List".

Hope this helps.

Hi

I do have the Kaiser - strange it did not work. Orange rom ?

Anyway the manual tweak appears to work. I will check to see if I can find anything else in the registry.

Thanks for the heads up with this app, looks promising and I plan to start using it tonight on my way home from work.

The weird thing is I have ran through all the configuration and not wanting to loose my data allowance per month I configured the following setting:

Work offline - Ticked this.

However the setting doesn't actually stick after exiting the application, has anyone else experiencing this and found a fix?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] FlyEvolution:
Hey all. Just thought I'd chime in.

I installed this program on my Kaiser about 2 and a half weeks ago, and have used it every single time I drive. I live in a very dense urban area (Wash. DC) and this thing has already generated just under $40 for me just by doing this.

I regularly come home from 15 mile roundtrips with hauls of over 800 Access Points or so.

I've attatched proof images from my paypal account and navizon page:D.

Needless to say, they do pay out and it's fully legit. And they're fast about it too, when I claim my reward, I receive it the next day.

Here's my referral code if anyone wants to make me even happier for sharing this information:D:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] angel-78:
I have been really happy with the program. I downloaded it about a month ago but only started using it a little over a week ago and I have almost reached my second reward. Thank you Shogunmark for your registry mod I have been using the 3sec for the last few days and have seen a big difference. I commute about 20miles each way daily to work in San Diego. I vary my commute from time to time and make sure I have it turned on when I go to any new areas.

Well since I am starting to see more referal codes popping up, I'm going to throw mine out too. If anybody uses it thanks in advance. Good luck mapping.

Been using Navizon for 2 weeks and have picked up nearly 30,000 points. Sorry Zippy I live not too far from Stratford and have been working in the area so I may have sucked up all the spare access points mate (also Warwick and Leamington) :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zippyioa:
No worries massiv, I hav been using it for 3 weeks now so had a 1 week head start on you :p

I live in Stratford and work in Warwick, so should have picked up a fair few of them before you anyway :D

Glad you are enjoying the program!

wellllllllllllllllllll

i drove to miami (45 minutes) and i only earned 300 somthin points so i decided to uninstall it becuz it would take a long ass time to earn just 20 dollars and the program is quite cumbersome...

now.....

i get an navizon is unable to open error everytime i soft reset...

weak... :mad:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zippyioa:
Hi Zilla,

Shame you had a poor experience on your first drive. I did a similar length drive last night here in the UK and picked up over 1000 points!

Were you mostly on freeways/rural roads? If so bear in mind that when you are a) quite far away from buildings which is where you find wifi points and/or b) travelling pretty fast so you will miss lots of points. Built up inner city is your best bet for points!

Before you give up completely, I presume you had all 3 green lights on during the journey?

Also, did you install shogunmarks excellent cab file that increase the wifi scan time? Default wifi scan time is 20 secs (which misses lots of points when you drive) His cab file increases that to 1 sec. After installing it on my regular 10 mile route to work the faster scanning picked up over 250 new wifi points.

I am now collecting LOADS more points!!

You really should try it before you give up so early (I have attached the cab file - simply copy to your phone and run wth file explorer)

If you are still sure its not for you you should be able to resolve your startup error by checking that Navizon is no longer installed in Start/Settings/System/Remove Programs. If its gone use file explorer to browse to Windows/StartUp and delete Navizon from the list - that should get rid of your error message.

I hope I have convinced you to keep trying though, most people are earning regular money for very little effort!

If you have any questions please ask.

All loaded but its not tracking??

I have 3 green lights going, but 0 cells and wifi's picked up, and am in Central London. There is a message saying" Tracker status: diabled

Anyone else have this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zippyioa:
Hi mikeycollins13,

That seems very odd - not had that before unless I am miles from any access points, but even so you should still get a cell tower if you have phone reception. As you are in Central London you should have plenty of access points!!

The Tracker status: disabled shouldn't be a problem for this issue. With the tracker enabled the software shows other people where you are if you have buddies or you join a Navizon group.

Have you setup the software like I recommended in post 1 of this thread? It might be worth double checking you have to see if that fixes things.

I presume you left the 3 green lights for a good few minutes before giving up? Mine always takes longer to start picking up points at first.

If you are still getting the problem you could try a soft reset to see if that fixes it. If not uninstall Navizon, soft reset and re-install, then try again.

I hope that helps - let me know how you get on!!

Cheers

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ZILLA:
of course i uninstalled it through settings>remove programs... and i even removed it from windows>startup becuz when i was trying it, it started with my phone and was annoying...

now everytime i soft reset i get a "cannot find navizon" error

its pretty weak cuz i think i might have to hard reset becuz of this CRAP

i didnt even earn close to 10,000 points (in a very populated south florida) after using it for a little less then a week (yes i had wifi on and gps settings right)...

now i have to spend 4 hours getting my phone back the way i like it after a hard reset...

i dont blame you because your obviously trying to get referalls to get $$$... but there software uninstalls incorrectly... and makes me sad :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] heliax007:
I had the same problem- by the way, you DO have to do a hard reset afaik...at least thats how I fixed mine. I suppose you could find the entry in the registry after the uninstall and fix it that way, but good luck. I had MANY issues with this software and I now recommend that noone install it. The software affected power and other connection settings, also. Ridiculously drained battery to boot.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zippyioa:
Hi Zilla,

Still seems strange that you picked up so few points in such a populated area!Especially as everyone else seems to be getting them ok once the program is setup.

As for the startp error, have you checked the windows/startup folder AFTER you uninstalled? If its showing the message on startup I am sure that will be the cause. I didn't like Navizon loading on startup either so removed it from windows/startup too, however a soft reset seemed to put it back in again. It would be worth you double checking to make sure its not there still. I am sure its something simple that wont require anything as extreme as a hard reset!

Let me know how you get on - especially if it doesnt work as I will do my best to get this sorted for you simply, rather than giving you hours of setting up your phone again after a hard reset!

Cheers

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] angel-78:
I have had no major issues with the software. I have had it freeze up once or twice when I have tried to stop it. Other wise I have been pretty happy with it and the extra change in my pocket has not been bad.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jay2TheRescue:
I downloaded it yesterday and I got 1,300 points just driving 3 miles to the gym and back. I looked on the maps and there is nothing plotted anywhere near my mom's house, so I sould get pleanty of points there! Thanks!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zippyioa:
I couldn't agree more. I am not saying that the software is perfect. It does lock up now and then, but hey, I am earning money for doing what I do anyway - which is GREAT in my book :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zippyioa:
You are welcome Jay. If you got 1,300 points on such a short journey you should be on your way to your first $20 in just a few days.

Don't forget to install the 1 second wifi scanning cab file if you are driving - it will get you even more points!! :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jay2TheRescue:
I am already WiFi scanning. Is this something different and/or better?

-Jay
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zippyioa:
By default the program scans for wifi every 20 seconds. This is fine if you are walking as you catch the wifi points around you, BUT if you are driving you can miss LOADS of points if it is only scanning every 20 seconds.

The way round this is to use the excellent cab files that shogunmark posted a few posts back from this one which allow you to change the default scan time. BEAR IN MIND THAT A FASTER SCAN TIME DOES USE MORE POWER THAN NORMAL - YOUR BATTERY WILL GO DOWN VERY QUICKLY ON 1 SECOND SCANNING - You can store them on your phone (they are only 1Kb each) and use each one when you need it.

I use 1 second while I am driving, 5 second when cycling and 20 second when walking.

Copy them to your phone, exit Navizon and use a file explorer to run the cab you want. When you restart Navizon your Wifi scan time will be updated. :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jay2TheRescue:
Ok, I see what you are saying... Thanks. I only plan to use the software while driving, so I'll use the 1 second file permanently installed. GPS uses a lot of battery power when you're not plugged in.

-Jay
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ronfin44:
I love this software. I average about 4,000 points per day just doing nothing besides my regular job. It's not a lot of money, but FREE money is FREE money!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jay2TheRescue:
Its a shame I didn't know about this earlier. My Dad used to drive about 100,000 miles a year for his work, but he just retired 3 days ago :(. I could have had him drive around with my phone for a day and rack up a lot of points!

-Jay
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zippyioa:
That is a shame as you would have racked up some serious points with that mileage :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shogunmark:
If your going to repost my cabs please do not rename them. These cabs i created dont change anything with the navizon software but change the actual windows scantime, they are named WIFI scan times for a specific reason.

Or you could have just pointed to the original post with the attachments..

No problem, im just picky... I would hate for a noob to create a useless thread for wifi scan times when they searched and could only find navizon cabs and didnt know if they would work... just makes it easier for everyone in the long run.

Navizon locking up my Kaiser on Wi-Fi

Ever since I've used Navizon,

for some reason, if I'm already on a wifi link, it works great and cycles through phone,wi-fi, and GPS updating. But if I'm off wi-fi, but in range of the wifi I was connected to, it constantly tries to connect wi-fi and will not cycle through, stuck on wi-fi trying to update for over 20 miles today in new territory, :mad: Alot of points lost. Anyone else having issues with Navizon locking up their phone?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shogunmark:
No, they will still work, i did download them and checked out the cab, the cab itself wasnt changed, only the names.

Thanks bro. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shogunmark:
Im really surprised that no one is using this app from modaco:

CamerAware

This beats the original navizon app hands down! And its only payware if you pay for the Camera Database!

Also the CamerAware app has a tracker built in if you have a modaco account.. It will do live tracking

Here is my Tracker Link
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] singhnx:
I had the software running on my Tilt this morning during my commute to work. It was fully charged and it only dropped down to 80% after a 45 minute commute. I was using the 1sec update cab that ShogunMark has posted.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NuShrike:
Yes, already mentioned in: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1824183&postcount=56.

Also a few people from here are in the Modaco group also. That tracker link is pretty cool!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jay2TheRescue:
From what I can tell the camera database only applies to UK/Europe. No good for US users.

-Jay
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shogunmark:
I dont use the camera database, but it doesnt need that to function, im in the US and prefer this over the navizon app.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jay2TheRescue:
I'm usually one of the slowest on the road anyway... :) I only drive 5 over the speed limit... ;) The only benefit I saw was that it would alert of speed cameras. I'm running the Navizon in the background under TomTom anyway, so I don't even see it. For me I'm sticking with the Navizon software. YMMV.

BTW, I haven't driven far in the few days I've had Navizon installed, and I'm almost halfway to my first payout.

-Jay
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] udgn:
$20 are $20 but........

:mad:....... since they will be using my equipment I think IT'S NOT WORTH IT.

1. to much points to get $20. So they should lower it to 2500points.

SO IN MY OPINION THEY WANT TO PLAY WITH KIDS.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jay2TheRescue:
It just depends on your point of view. I'm already just shy of halfway to a $20 payout, and I really haven't driven much in the past few days. Total I've driven maybe 15 miles in the past 3 days, and never more than 3 miles from home. I have almost 5,000 points. My vehicle only gets 14 or 15 mpg in town, so if they are going to give me $20/wk that certainly takes a dent out of the gas budget. Imagine the points you can rack up on a roadtrip! I am definately running the software on my next trip to Florida to visit my family down there. I figure I could easily hit at least 2 or 3 rewards coming & going. For me $60 is a full tank of gas.

YMMV

What's not worth "it"? Free money? Are you retarded? You're getting money to DO NOTHING! Turn on the app, walk around where you normally have to go, or drive, or ride a friggin pony you clown. It's amazing people get all mad about the amount of points needed to make free cash. Hey genius. I turn this app on whenever I have to go out to do something, and so far it keeps paying me to do so. It's not a GET RICH FAST scheme, and you're making something to do nothing. Last time I checked, making ANYTHING over ZERO was a plus. Better yet. DON'T USE THIS SOFTWARE!!! It leaves more AP's for people like me to discover and get more cash for while you're crying about points. Moron.:rolleyes:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ericc191:
I hate navizon. It's like a virus. I'm at 8911 points. As soon as I hit 10000, this sh!t is coming off my phone.

Also, I don't like knowing that every point I get.. some other punk gets a little extra credit. No wonder he started a thread about it. (By the time I realized I could just make another account, I was already at 2000 something so whatever)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shadowfixeruk:
Hey Guys, hope that you haven't done a hard reset yet - because this is the solution to "can't find navizon" problems....

You will need to reinstall navizon - as its a navizon setting you need to change...

so reinstall navizon and then go to Options > GPS.

On the GPS tab look for the "Auto Start" tick box and uncheck it.

Press OK and you are good to go.

Unchecking this box will mean that if you do decide to keep navizon -you will need to "Start" it manually - ie after you have started Navizon from programs\wherever, you will need to press start to start the GPS.

Hope this helps!

Hi ericc191,

What do you mean by "It's like a virus"? I take it you are having problems with the software? If so share it with the rest of the forum, as many users are running relatively trouble free and may be able to help you run it the same way. :)

As for the referall points comment, I started the thread to share Navizon with other forum users. As I posted earlier I have recieved a lot of help from other users over the past few years. Posts have solved MANY problems with each of the handsets I have owned and I saw posting about Navizon as a way to payback others for the help they have given me. Ok I earn some referral points in the process, but they don't cost you anything so wheres the harm?

Cheers

Its just more stuff for us other users to find! I got 1,200 points today on a quick 5 mile trip to the next town to go out to lunch! I got stuck for 2 minutes at a traffic light next to a huge apartment complex, and I think I racked up a few hundred AP's right there.

Hey bro you have been taking a lot of heat for this software. Seems if people were not interested they would just click to the next thread, but any how this is a good find.

Great find bro...ignore the name callers.

Still dont see how this is a virus but oh well :cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] :
I think the idea of the software is good but I'm having a problem. I uninstalled the program which I think I originally installed on the device memory. When I re-installed it I chose to set the installation to the storage card. When I soft reset my device a message comes up saying "cannot open navizon exe blah blah blah" I tried to locate the program file on the device memory and couldn't find it to delete it. In case you're wondering I uninstalled software because it was turning on my bluetooth and wifi and draining my battery even though the program was not running. Has anyone else had this problem. I don't want to reflash Schaps ROM because I have so much stuff setup on my phone the way I want and it would be a pain to do so over a program. This program is starting to feel like a virus. Any input would be appreciated guys. Thanks a ton. Great forum.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ronfin44:
It's not a virus. Please know what you're talking about or what a virus is, before making a statement. This app runs fine if you take the few seconds to install it correctly, and though it does freeze from time to time, it's not a VIRUS. :rolleyes:
