I use TomTom in the UK and find it acceptable. It can be slow to update when you make a turn but whether that is due to the video drivers, TomTom itself or the GPS receiver I couldn't say.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bluemamba:
Yes GPS works well outside the US. In in Europe and it works great.

Havent used TomTom. but i have used almost every other GPS software there is. Do a search ...some good ones are Garmin xt, Destinator 7, pocket navigator 7..

Google maps.. i didnt like. too amateur and it does have maps to all countries.

DO NOT USE Google Navigator..it %^&*ed up my phone settings and was too slow.

TomTom was the first and is still the best sat nav software.

Developed in Europe and works great.

Have used many others, including Garmin and Navman but TomTom is still the only one that has never sent me the wrong way, after 7 years of use.

maybe this is something for you, the 1st software I know which is combining Vector maps AND bitmaps. Check the coverage of the Vektor maps, but for the bitmaps you can use ANY bitmaps.

I have tomtom and all available maps installed on my memory card. US, East and west Europe, Singapore, HongKong, Australia and smoething from Afrika.

The navgation so far was good on a small trip in europe, the other cards are just in case, but I will use it later this year in the US.

For Asia I am realy considering the above mentioned software, I did not have it yet, but it good a good report in a german WM magazin. With the bitmaps you cannot navigate like with Vector maps, but you see at at least where you are.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ronfin44:
I've tested Telenav, TomTom, and Mio Maps. Google Maps and Windows Live I really don't consider a "driving" GPS, so I wont comment on those.

Telenav wasn't great. Looks nice, but paying 9.99 extra a month to dl maps as your driving sucks. Especially as you're driving and the map just times-out.

TomTom is by far the EASIEST to install and use. Drop a CAB file in, and drag and drop the map folder on your SD card and you're ready to go. However, the maps folder is almost a gig. Super user friendly and you can find flash software to make your own POI's. I like modding TomTom, but it does move slow at times.

Mio Maps. By far the BEST looking and accuarte of all I've tried. Also easy to install on the Tilt. Maps can be chosen by state or country and loaded into the maps folder, so the maps don't take-up a lot of memory on your card. It's a european-type GPS, but its VERY nice. So far my favorite visually, though I still use TomTom for its simplicity to use.

Actually, I don't care.

I read the "rules" and find in number 8 how you say temple very rude and disturbing to those of the Jewish faith.

Since I have never posted on a forum before, I feel like this was a terrible welcome to the world of forums and do not plan on visiting your forum anymore.

I know that there are forums out there who would appreciate more members and care more about how they write their rules.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Macgyvec3:
What? How could you take that as anything offensive to the Jewish faith. It mentions nothing specific. The only thing offensive in rule eight is the word "liberal." lol.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Cavey.co.uk:
Providing a link is always appreciated. You are meaning this, yes?

I like it, but if you don't have a map to hand it's not exactly handy. It was mostly interesting to see the satellite locations and following the location information. (If you're a geek, you'll love it).

I am using Garmin XT (nicked it off my Dad who no longer used it), but I don't exactly use it often. For the limited GPS assisted travelling I have done, it has been more than adequate. I'll echo what someone said i that it works quite well. Get a lock within 25 seconds of walking out my front door, sometimes before I leave.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zorlak:
Well, you can use the Mapking softwares. This is the one i use in Beijing (version R12.0 is dedicated to the Kaiser although i know that Mapking 2007 is also working). It's working well although it's not super fancy (like Tom Tom) and the maps are pretty old especially in a country where cities change every new moon.

I have been looking for GPS programs to use in China for a while and as far as i know there is not a lot of possibilities if you want to have English maps. If you can read Chinese then you have a lot of choice.

Among the programs i have checked is Gmap, a software that can import maps from GoogleMaps (like the Google Ditu ones for China) ... but it's a bit tricky as it requieres an IBM Java platform (it won't work otherwise). I couldn't make it work on my Kaiser but i might give it a try again.

Apart from that, Destinator 6.1 might also have something soon ... but i haven't really checked yet.

Anyway, I am also curious if someone has any ideas on that matter.

PS: guys, most of your answer are far from the initial topic. The original question was not "What do I have in my nice little Kaiser?" so please if you just want to tell what software you like to use, then create another post. Thanks.

So far the only gps software i can usefully use in the caribbean is google maps, i am guessing that tomtom and other software manufactures not interested in doing our maps yet.

I'm sure you googled "GPS MAPS CARIBBEAN" before you made your FIRST COMPLAINING POST HERE and found the link to FREE maps of Caribbean (http://rwsmaps.griffel.se/) which was the second highest rated link on Google.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kyphur:
The text I removed from the post in question was an offer to "point" someone in the "right" direction.

That sounds like an offer to WAREZ more than it sounds like an "Buy it".

In fact I had at least 2 forum members report your post as offering warez. Not to mention "CabForager" replied requesting the info so I was not the only one who read the offer as implying WAREZ.

Seeing as we are already in a {dark grey} area with Roms and such I'd prefer to err on the side of caution when it comes to WAREZ.

I recently got a second-hand Galaxy A5 2015, switching from a jail-broken iPhone 4. (Ewwww).

I am an Android noob, and have only been using it for a week. (Also noob to XDA, first post)

I'm on 6.0.1, using Nova Launcher, with a pretty clean setup, but the one thing that bugs me is the fugly TouchWiz pulldown area. I want to flash a stock Android ROM onto it, but have no ****ing idea how to do it. I have done so much research, but all of the tutorials conflict each other, and I don't know where to start. Being a Linux user doesn't help either. Can anyone recommend me a way to flash an Android 7-based ROM, from Linux, onto an A500FU?
[General Questions and Answers] alsetema:
I have had this phone for exactly 24 hours, and until then the fingerprint scanner installed in it worked relatively well.

After 24H the sensor decided to activate repeatedly automatically (without me touching the sensor) and finally, stop working.

It will not register any new fingerprints or react to the unlock feature or nothing at all. Rebooting won't fix anything, I have yet to try a hard reset.

My question is, even though the phone is really new, has any of this happened to you guys before?

If so, How have you fixed it?

Thank you and sorry if this is in the wrong section.

So, a new update

The fingerprint scanner decided to work suddenly today, I opened security and decided to see if I could add a fingerprint to unlock it and to my surprise it decided to work.

Regarding the speaker, I found out that if I suck on the speaker (yes, i put my mouth on the speaker hole and aspire air gently) the music, app, game, anything begins playing, and as soon as I stop breathing in it stops playing.

Why is this happening to me? It honestly is super strange, I already contacted gearbest and I hope they help me solve it or give me a new one

[General Questions and Answers] FJP84:
Did post this one in another thread but this one seems better:

--

I have this device a week and it's great. Directly installed the OTA of September. Everything worked fine.

Up and until yesterday the fingerprint scanner was really sensitive maybe too sensitive. Then yesterday evening the phone was charged to 100% before I went to sleep so I plugged it out and powered it down to be fully loaded at 100% this morning.

After starting up it seems that the fingerprint print scanner is a lot less sensitive and sometimes it feels sensitivity is degrading during the day of use, to just no sensitivity at all.

Does someone else experienced the same? Does someone have a solution?
[General Questions and Answers] alsetema:
It doesn't seem to be a software problem, but a hardware problem. For me the fingerprint sensor works for some time, then one day it messes up and stops working for a week or so. I really dont know what's wrong, seems to fix by itself.
[General Questions and Answers] FJP84:
Thank, so it is a matter of ups and downs?

I did some gaming while on charge yesterday so maybe some heating can cause this?

I also have some Bluetooth issues while calling on my carkit. Music on my carkit is fine. Will an app like Bluetooth Auto connect be of any help?

Besides that I really like the phone overall.
[General Questions and Answers] alsetema:
Yes, it seems to be a matter of ups and downs, same with the speaker. Apparently when the humidity is high, my speaker refuses to work at high volumes ( it crackles and then it stops working)

My charger blew up recently actually (But that was because of some problem with my home's powerline). I got a Samsung charger, slightly slower charge, but my battery now lasts for much longer I have realises (I'm speaking 9V charging instead of 12V)

It is true the phone heats a lot, that's why I'd avoid using it while charging or at least if I plan to charge it all the way, since by the end it will be really hot.

Regarding bluetooth, I really havent had any problems whatsoever, therefore I can't really tell, for me bluetooth has always worked well with cars and speakers and so. I doubt an app like that be of any help, since it should pair automatically with the closest bluetooth source so perhaps that could cause a conflict, but I havent tried it so I can't know for sure.
[General Questions and Answers] FJP84:
This morning I took it of the charger. Now fingerprint is quite acceptable. Not that over sensitivity which I disliked, and a lot more responsive than yesterday.[emoji2]
[General Questions and Answers] alsetema:
It seems to fix by itself
[General Questions and Answers] FJP84:
Cheered too early, messed up again... It seems that a moist finger works better. It notice the touch better, but then it doesn't recognizes it....

Bleutooth calling went ok today. Seems though that I have the P20 or P25 lite version of the Mars Pro. Not the regular P2t

Should have chosen the Xiaomi Note 4 Global instead... I will monitor it a couple of days but I think I will look for a better 64gb/6gb USB type-c device in the near future....[emoji19]

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Tostapunk:
Just charge it when it need to be charged lol

There isn't magic tricks to charge it, and obviously you can charge the phone to 100%
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] OrBy:
Charging a lithium battery to a lower voltage can increase the overall cell cycle life at the expense of capacity. At 4.2v you may get 300-500 full cycles before you start seeing noticable degradation where at 4.1v you may get 600-1000. But the effort to track that and stop charging I think is negated by the fact this phone has such high capacity vs it's usage that even if it's degradated - you will still have a good run time!

With that being said - with root or a custom ROM - you may be able to set a lower charge termination voltage like on some Sony phones had an option for - but I don't know the details of how to do that.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Zeljko1234:
For more info check: http://batteryuniversity.com/index.php/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries

I almost always charge from PC/laptop using regular USB port which can provide up to 500 mA. Usually when I see that is getting close to 40%. And often not charging over 80 but that depends do I need the phone for longer period or just forgot to disconnect. Fast charging in general is not healthy for battery, mainly because of heat produced.

On another hand, most probably battery life is longer than phone's. Just because phones are getting obsolete...
