Are you sufficiently confused by now?

I think the answer also depends on in which country are you going to use it for. Navigon, which I had never tried, may be good, but there is no Australia map for me, so it has to be ruled out here. But if I travel to Europe, I will get it to try out. In Asian countries, nothing beats Mapkings or its variants. In Australia, the best is TomTom7.

I had been long time users of copilots, iGO, TomTom7, and relative new users of Garmin XT and Mapking. And for the past two days, I have been struggling to install Destinator 7 and Destinator 6, just to try out and understand its capability.

So far, I think that as long as maps are available like in Australia, TomTom7 offers the best instruction in letting you know which lane to take where there are three or four branches coming up (iGO for example, has misled me into taking the wrong lanes endless number of times already).

All software will help you get there eventually. The difference is the map data (in this regards, because of the Mapshare feauture of TomTom, it will always be number one), quality of instruction (as I mentioned, Tom TOm is King here in clarity in complicated junction), route calculation logic (TT7 is very clever and intelligent again in this regards), and ability to get you out of trouble.

By trouble, I mean help you keep within road speed limit (TT and IGO has this, but not Mapking, for example), warn you for red light camera at traffic junction (so that you do not get into that yellow box when traffic ahead has not cleared, lest you get a traffic ticket), warn you of fixed speed camera (which everyone does, I think), and even better still moving speed camera (which TT does). Then, there is availability and cost of live traffic data (requiring subscription if you're willing to pay, in return or smoother routing) to consider.

Another important aspect which some people forget to consider is the ability to preplan the route and examine if you agree with it. The version of Garmin XT that I use, for example, does not seem to have such a feature. You GPS location must be at the starting point before you could see which roads would be taken. This is a very serious limitation for me.

Visual beauty is nice and I conceed iGO and Navigon are very much on top here, but TomTom 7 is not ugly as someone has implied. Anyway, this IMO should be relatively low in your evaluation criteria. If you use beauty as criteria, you would miss out the opportunity to use Mapking in Asian countries, for example.

Ease of installation is nice but not a very good critieria for choosing a software IMO, as this problem is just one off, and once you got over it, you look back and say "it's a piece of cake after all".

Another thing, even if you have decided to go with say iGO, it does not always mean that you could use the latest version. I installed the latest software but could not find map for Australia, so now have to go back to an older version.

Hope this does'nt confuse you even further.;)

- Igo 8 with gurjon 800x480 skin is the best Navigator, lot of configurations and skins (cars, radars, voices ...), better definition, speed and color than Tomtom, but run only in landscape mode.

- Tomtom 7 with Gsen work in real life fine in 2 mode with command #window(MunichWinClass) ! and as a fast load starting compared to Igo

For long circuit or map search I prefer Igo, but for small length Tomtom is best

Automapa v.5.3

I use Automapa v.5.3 for Europe. They have a 3D function that shows buildings. It works fine, fast and very precise, but i don`t know if they have maps for the U.S. In POI mode, yoy can choose diffrent POI categorys, and when you get close to them, it will aut. show you the route, not just a icon somewhere on the map.

It was very easy to install, from a image!

How did you get the maps and the activition code?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ednap:
I live in Australia, have a National position with frequent access to cities and towns in all States all across the country.

On my old O2 XDAii with external BT GPS I was using Navigator 6 which I thought was pretty good.

Replaced the O2 with a Dopod P800w. As I couldn't get the Navigator unlock transfered properly I first tried iGo but just didn't like the interface so moved to TomTom 6. Actually TomTom was pretty good but had some response issues so next I tried GarminXT. Found the features of Garmin better but again found response lagging so maybe that was more of an issue with the Dopod than the software? For the life of the Dopod though I persisted with TomTom and it did serve me well.

Just recently upgraded to the HTC Touch HD and installed GarminXT, purchased a new activation code and after a couple of trips (one on known road another deliberatly using the recalculation feature) all I can say is that IT IS FANTASTIC!!

The response is super fast, the voice directions and illustrations of turns is really good. Of course the larger screen on the Touch HD is superb and makes the GPS just so easy to use and view.

So of the programs I have used (based on Australian maps) I would suggest GarminXT without any hesitation at all.

touch hd

For me TOMTOM 7 woks very good in blackstone.

I have too Ndrive with real satellite images, its cool, but i still like more TOMTOM.

I tested TOMTOM 6, and it dont work in WVGA .....:(:(. but 7 works.....:):):)

Navigon 7

I use navigon 7 and it works perfect, also TTS is supported. Since the update you need no further costumisation to use this software.

TomTom

for me TomTom is the best, also because all the maps are available for free.

Installing TT7 does not require any tricks?? just install it and it works fine!

Remember to install the VGA version, not QVGA or WVGA.

TomTom gives the Navcore software away for free and wants you to pay for the maps.

Everything is available on gpsunderground.com

Hi,

I'm trying to see if "My Downloads" in the Market get reset when cache is cleared. I will try and do this by downloading some large apps.

Can anybody list some of the largest apps? It's pretty hopeless looking at them one by one!

My downloads

I don't think it will be resetted. One week ago I resettd my G1 to factory settings. When I enteres my Gmail adress to register the phone again, evrything went back. It is saved "in the cloud", it seems.

"My downloads" is a pain in the ... with all the apps you ever installed, even if you uninstalled them afterwards. And: there is no difference between installed apps that can be updated and uninstalled apps. I get crazy with 5 sorts of torch apps, I had installed. I decided to keep only one and when I browse the market to see, which updates are available, I don't remember, which one is still installed an which are uninstalled. Both say "free", when the is an update for the installed one.

It would be nice to be able to sort the apps not only after their name but after their status "installed", "updated" and "uninstalled".
[G1 General] LavaChild0809:
That is my interpretation of the problem too. I have factory reset and it has not removed them. Beyond this some people *still* think they making the cache get so low it resets itself will do it though... I cannot see *how* if it is stored server side (Sufficiently that a "Factory" reset does not remove it [Hell, I should hope after a "Factory" reset there is NO personal info on the device... Certainly wasn't when I got mine new!)... None the less if people think it may work I've nothing to loose.

Shame is I've got all the apps above and (In any other situation good news) other apps are so small it'll take forever to install a sufficient number.

It seems in doing this I've probably made the matter worse as now my "My Downloads" list is huge :/

Any ideas how to clear the list OR very large apps appreciated.

Cheers.
[G1 General] sputnik99:
don't think so. All the information is tied to your google-account.

I guess if you register your account on another new device, you would have all the information on the new device. That'S the philosophy of android... have everything in the cloud... contacts, mails, calendar, app list.

On one hand it's good if you loose the device or have to factory reset. I still remember the time I was on Nokia and I had to restore my data after every change of phone or even Software update. On the other hand it's kind of critical in sense of misuse of personal data and ... the my downloads problem.

Admin: maybe the thread should be moved to this one???

[G1 General] LavaChild0809:
Please no not merge. I am the OP of both - The other is mainly about market issues. This is simply about large file size apps so that I can mess around and see if they do help with the issue in the other thread.

Both serve a different purpose even if there is overlap.

Meanwhile, I know for sure that the device doesn't carry the "My Downloads" over to another device - I had two faulty G1s before (1x screen issue and 1x charging issue). Both times I installed things and each device was not aware of what the other had. All, though, were aware of what they had installed on that device, even through a factory reset. I think maybe it is in the cloud but against some kind of device_id+gmail_account key? Not sure...

I have flashed to Dutty's 1.5 rom, and prior to that I backed up the device with SPB Backup v2.

This I restored after flashing the Rom and haven't had any issues so far, apart from the TF3D All Programs has duplicate entries. Where are these entries kept so I can delete the dup's.

Not that much of an issue as I normally don't use it, but now I know it's there it bugs me a little.

Anyone on here using MyMobiler?

I'm using Duttys 1.6 and when I move my mouse onto the phone (rather than using the desktop view), I cant see the mousepointer on the phone. Anyone else have this problem?

It worked OK on my old Orbit but that had a "Mouse" option in settings somwhere.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mallman:
I have never seen the mouse pointer on the phone. I didnt think it worked that way at all

Can you drag your mouse over to the phone at all ? I remember that i used the exact same function .. they actually disabled the function in newer version! Have a look in the config file.. i found the setting once and enebled it, and wolla ! all working again.. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Tirinoarim:
If you right-click on your PC MyMobile icon and click "Connect" (rather than double-clicking to open the window on your desktop), then change "Mouse Cursor To" from "Disabled" to either "Left" or "Right", when you then move your PC mouse off the "Left" or "Right" of your screen, it should move onto you phone.

It does seem to work (clicking opens menus, runs apps etc), you just cant see your mouse pointer.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Elim:
Yes, I am using MyMobiler in the same version and it works with no problems. Also after I change from a vogue to the blackstone.

Hi

I have My Mobiler and I see a mouse pointer on the phone image on the laptop screen.

I have in My Mobiler the option "Mouse cursor to" set to disable. I have never looked at this option before (!!) but it all works fine for me.

I open Mobiler and I have a working mouse that scans across the laptop and onto the image of the phone. On the phone image I'm able to activate various options with the mouse including tap and hold.

I am now on JF1.3 on my ADP1. I tried to flash this 'leaked' image:-

http://andblogs.net/2009/01/new-adp1-images-leaked/

I renamed the file as update.zip and reboot with Power+Home. Then did the ALT+W and ALT+S.

The Flashing failed because of errors in Signature(5 files). I tried the following to remedy:-

1) Reformatted the card

2) Renamed the Update.zip to 'Update'

Even after these I am keeping on getting the Signature errors. Please help solve this issue. Thanks.

* I tried to install Cupcake and it works. Though returned to jf1.3 because of the radio issues.
[G1 Android Development] deprecate:
You have to use fastboot as this is not an update.zip.

You can either flash each img or you can try out the full system update...

fastboot update update.zip

I have *not* tried this approach yet but it is documented so I assume it works?

Also, you will notice that there is no misc partition; you can ignore that error and flash the rest (skip splash1/splash2 if you already have custom splash screens).

Added nice-ities:

-The ability to skip signing-in to your google account

-System updater

-...it's new?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dickenz:
To be really honest the only extra functionality you will gain from the Vodafone ROM is the Vodafone specific software and the theme.

If it's just the theme you are after I suggest browsing this forum for one.

Alternatively if you're after the Vodafone ROM for Vodafone SIM... I'd skip that and jump straight onto one of the custom ROMs. The phone performance is a HEAP better than any of the telecommunication company's stock ROMs.

Food for thought.

Im on NextG with Telstra and i have tried nearly every rom here except vodafone.. but the only one flaw with using a unbranded telstra rom is being able to access bigpond.. like with foxtel and all that.. just doesnt pick it up as being a 3.5G phone.
