Contacts?

Can you navigate to your contacts addresses with Igo?

I used Igo before and the reason I switched back to TomTom was simply because I use it for business.

So navigating to my contact addresses is a must.

Does your version of Igo support contact addresses?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] KRAZzysoldier:
Nope. I don't see any contact adress implementation in iGO8. Seems like a very difficult feature though... You never know if you wrote all street names correctly :confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Laos101:
I've used both IGO and TomTom and I disagree with the results here.

1. TomTom makes usage of special tools such as traffic, downloading extra extra POI with ease, and also editing your map with ease

2. TomTom has MANY more POI then IGO, my entire town had like 10 POI on IGO, on TomTom it has more than 100

3. I feel the TomTom is easier to manage in terms of locking on a GPS, setting it up (depending on where you configured it) and other methods.

TomTom wins
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] p50kombi:
That's not really true.

If TomTom gets confused, it shows you the options that it thinks are most likely to match the contact address and you can choose the one you think it is.

So for me, TomTom wins by a landslide.

btw, with Igo, I had much more GPS lag than with TomTom.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] KRAZzysoldier:
Great! I didn't know that because I never used TomTom as they don't make uptodate maps for my country. Igo has always provided the best routes as it has the most up to date maps for me... it seems that the app one might prefer more depends on the location. Afterall that's what gps navigation software's main purpose is.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] telegraph0000:
The definitive answers

When I saw a new Igo8 thread, why, I immediately pitched a tent in my pants, round house kicked and double fist pumped!

Igo8, when customized the right way, is the best hands down.

I currently have R3 Igo 8.3 (Jan 7). Now, you don't want to use the most current POI files that come with it (as they are limited)-use previous versions (8.0 or 8.01) and modify the ,txt file so the program recognizes it.

[poi]

enable_pois_before_090117=1

Igo CAN navigate your contacts, the only prerequisite is that NO APARTMENT/SUITE numbers be in the contact address. Igo will tell you which addresses cannot be found by going to (when running Igo):

menu/manage/geocoding errors

There, you'll be able to see which contacts failed.

Activate phone option (so you may call a poi/contact directly from igo). Sys.txt addition:

[Phone]

Driver=TAPI

Class_name=exe_path="/windows/prog.exe

Win_name="phone"

SKIN IT!

Full screen at its best, download the Gurjon (only 8.3.x.x) skin, Excellent.

BRAND IT!

Download a branding.zip to enable icons to be seen (Texaco, Schmcdonald icons seen on screen. Nice!

Okay, tent down...

Edit: Added skin (only for R3 igo8) and sys.txt
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] KRAZzysoldier:
WOW! 10x, I really didn't know this feature was embedded, although I've been using iGo for 3 years now.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mindfrost82:
There are some newer TeleAtlas maps floating around for iGo 8.3. I haven't tried them yet though, but I think they're 2008.10.

TomTom uses TeleAtlas maps as well, although I don't know what the latest version is.

For me, Navteq maps are more complete in my area, but I might have to try the newest TeleAtlas ones to see if they have my subdivision yet.

Garmin Mobile XT has always been the most trustworthy for me, plus the embedded Google Local Search is the BEST thing for GPS on these phones. If you have data, you can search Google for POI's from within Garmin. This is so much better than relying on static, built-in POI's.

For example, last night I was going to Toys R Us in Rockford, IL. I knew where it was but when we got there we found out they moved. I wasn't sure where the new location was. I used the Local Search in Garmin and it had the new location.

Garmin has its quirks as well, but this feature, along with live traffic and fuel prices is the reason I stick with it. I do miss TTS and some other features of iGo, but I can also live without them.

The only thing that has kept me away from TomTom over the last few years is that the maps in my area weren't as complete.

iGo was great when I used it. I liked TTS and the terrain. Its choice of routes was questionable at time, and I've always had an issue with the ETA. For a 5-5.5 hour trip it would show about 6.5 hours and the ETA time wouldn't be accurate until I was within about 30 minutes of my destination.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Spiderm@n_:
It's a bit of a fault of the map. If it uses some default speed limits it can even suggest a wrong route. Example. There is a road in my city, that has speed limit 80km/h, but it's set as 50km/h so it usually doesn't suggest a side trip to that road, when it's much faster (also, almost everybody drive over the limit on that road), it's the road that continues as E80 :).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] GldRush98:
I run TomTom on my Fuze and I can say that I have zero issues with it. It works exactly, if not even better, as it did on my 8125 (Wizard) and my 8525 (Hermes).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] eurorpeen:
Igo

Igo, Igo and Igo !

I didn't know about the phone settings but it only make it more interesting ....

One other thing : maps files are a lot smaller in Igo than in Tom Tom so you can put more maps on your sd card.

Igo is a lot more customizable than Tom Tom and poi's are not really an issue because there is so much available. By the way, if it is for poi uses Google maps and its online search.

Garmin has a great reputation but I find it less interesting.

I have tested the latest garmin, Tom Tom 7.9 and I go 8.3 and I stick to Igo but the latest AmIgo (Igo 8.4) is something difficult to swallow. They say that they have removed all the difficult parts for the user but I think they have removed too much lol
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] telegraph0000:
I completely agree with your Amigo comment (flying carpet? Please). It is stripped down, bare bones, a beginner gps program that grandma can easily use.

The thing I love best about Igo (Besides using it as my own 411 directory) is its seemingly endless customization. The skinning makes it worthwhile to search for thst perfect skin. There are skins that alter/add menu options (more than just Route, manage, settings, find).

I upgraded to Gurjon GJ6.2p (www.Gurjon.com)...great upgrade. I can now:

1. Run a program (calculator, calendar, contacts) directly within Igo.

2. Multi-route (fast, short, economical, easy, scenic) and see all on the screen and color coded.

3. Add 10 additional Map screen settings (3d settings, lane info, short menu, turn settings, transparency, bars and pads, waypoint & destination, and more...)

4. Bluetooth enabled.

5. See the actual direction of a poi (with an arrow pointing the direction and distance based on your current location.

Yeah..lag, what can you do with it...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] zenithcoolest:
The TomTom version I have supports TTS but yeah I agree that it takes a lot of time to lock. Maybe after some time I will give Igo a shot
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mybikegoes200:
As I said - the lag issue seems to be a hardware issue and is still present with Igo (but I still say the positional lag issue is a non-issue for me - I can live with a 1-2 second delay).

For me, the maps (topography as well as 3-d building in major cities) coupled with the TTS makes Igo *very* attractive. I didn't even know about skinning it until I read the responses above this - another big plus for me.

As far as not (to my knowledge) having traffic or weather plugins - honestly - who cares? TomTom charges what I feel is an exorbitant fee for these services and thus renders them useless features to me.

And above all, I still say the satellite locking is faster with Igo.

Mileage may vary - and everybody will have features that are more important to them (like navigate to contact) - but as for myself - I've not loaded TomTom even once since putting Igo on.

A note about POIs... TomTom was anything but complete either - to the point that I never relied on it. When it comes to adding POIs, I'd say that both are equally adept and again makes this a non-issue.

Additionally, for me personally, any service that would rely on a data connection is out the window - I travel off the beaten path and into the sticks quite frequently where data connections are often a pipe-dream. That said - even if I were to pay for (eg) weather service, online poi ability - the services would be totally unusable when I've got no data connection. Again - rendering the ability a total non issue.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] fredphoesh:
Hmm

I have been trying iGo8 and came to this discussion because I think it is awful to use, and was looking for something else.

I have it on an HTC Touch HD. From the outset it made little sense, wanting to plan a route from A to B seems impossible, only from GPS to B.

Today my iGo thinks Im somewhere on the M25 where google maps knows I am home in West Sussex. I have exited Igo twice and restarted, same issue.

Thumbing a map to see where you are or to look at surrounding areas on iGo is a joke, simply awful. It uncontrollably moves waaaaay past a mere gesture, and even when you press your thumb down to stop it moving, it continues.

I really hope TomTom is better, or I will need to buy a "real" GPS for my car... but at this point iGo gets a thumbs down.

Mark.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] telegraph0000:
You probably have an addition to your sys.txt that makes the map move in that manner. Don't remember what the coding is...but I too hated it and removed it to scroll ONLY when I touched the screen.

As to routing...all you need to do is touch start point, 'cursor'-->set as start point. Then touch your destination, 'cursor'-->set as destination---simple.

How about navigate to Geo Tagged Picture in Tom Tom Navigator? I dont see such feature in iGo.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mybikegoes200:
Is it possible you're referring to a TomTom standalone unit? I ask because I have (I think) the newest version of TomTom mobile navigator and I can tell you without question there is no such feature in TomTom.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] p50kombi:
Footprints

There is if you use footprints in your HTC Phone....

Anyways, what I don't like about IGO is that you have to be a wiz at programming almost just it to boot the way you want.

Why don't they just ad a decent setup menu?

Navigating to contacts.

I have added this to the sys.txt but i can't see where you can navigate to a contact address? and i don't have a menu/manage/geocoding errors?

can you give me screen dump?

If i select the quick menu and select the Phone icon this opens my contacts directory but this does not select the address?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] LondonTownGuy:
Igo is much nicer to use and more advanced than TomTom, but they are both Navigation devices and for me it boils down to the maps. Both are ok but however new the maps are I always find myself pointed down a one way street or at some dead end in busy locations where this should not happen.

This is why I like TomToms mapshare corrections where users can correct map errors. Currently there are over 9000 corrections on the latest UK map and it helps a lot.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] telegraph0000:
When I drive to a contact address, I choose,

Find/Find POI/Choose Around Address,Cursor,GPS/OK/Arrow down to the Contacts tab/Choose sort by name OR sort by distance.

All done!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] :
I agree. Garmin XT is the best period. Tracking is quick. Built in Google for unlimited POI's. Nothing compares at this point. Find you a copy of Garmin XT 2009 or 2010 and you won't want to use anything else.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] xboxhaxorz:
I used several gps apps and tomtom is the most user friendly. People would say how beautiful igo is and i tried it, but well maybe in Europe it has many more 3d buildings but in the USA its not that great.

GPS HELP.............

This thread seems to be as good a place to ask my questions as any other. Y'all seem to be well versed in GPS usage. I have recently had good luck getting GPS Test to acquire sats and track with the sHep ROM and the .19 radio. Takes about 30s to get 6 tracking in my living room and have had 4 in the middle of the house under a skylight. Pretty amazing. I have been trying to use google maps and keep a track on the map while driving and it works however I get a pop up message which reads CANNOT CONNECT the answering modem has disconnected................ and one that reads There is a problem connecting to GPRS service in your registered area...........each time I tap dismiss and cancel the mssgs pop up again. I have tried to figure out which programs to turn off and can't seem to get a combination which allows me to leave the house tracking on GPS without the popup messages. ANY help would be appreciated.

Coucou !

Not all done at all!

I do NOT have even ONE contact imported from Outlook. Not even more a menu called "geocoding error" or something like this.

It drives me mad. Do you have any idea to manually import contacts from Outlook to Igo8? Please...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mindfrost82:
I believe you need to get a PDA version installed to import contacts, which doesn't support TTS.

After it imports them, I think you can then go back to a PNA version for TTS.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] BBBenj:
Coucou ! May be I should have written I use a O2 XDA IIi, with WM2005 and Igo 8.3... So it is already a PDA version of Igo... Does it help you explain me what happened?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Forever022:
I must say that I been using Igo for the past 2 years and Im supper happy with it. using the latest 8.3 with USA maps and European... both work great. Fast satellite signal lock, and great display. I tried Tom tom while back and it seems like I went from a high definition tv to one of those tvs from the 60's ... in Igo all the streets seem pretty round... on tomtom it seems like a turn was a hexagon... rough edges!!

when i tried tom tom I used the tilt (kaiser), but even then Igo was the winner...

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MAMeingast:
Sure thing! (English version below)

Du musst Dir SecondToday herunterladen und installieren. Dann kannst Du diesen "virtuellen" zweiten Today-Screen öffnen, in dem Du die entsprechende Verknüpfung im Start Menü wählst. Wenn ich mich recht erinnere, fragt Dich SecondToday beim ersten Öffnen automatisch, welche Today-Plugins Du benutzen willst: Also hier einfach diejenigen auswählen, die Du auf dem "virtuellen" Today-Screen haben willst. Ich weiß nicht, ob es möglich ist, TF3D auf SecondToday laufen zu lassen - aber ich glaube eher nicht.

Dann zum Tab "Soft Keys" wechseln um die entsprechenden Soft Keys zu verändern. Leider ist dieses Menü etwas verwirrend gemacht: Oben rechts wählst Du aus, welchen Soft Key Du ändern möchtest (den in SecondToday oder den in Manila?) oben links ob es der linke oder rechte sein soll. Unter "Title" kannst Du angeben, was auf dem Soft Key stehen soll. "Path to Program" einfach so lassen, wie's ist. Dann einfach "Apply to Registry" clicken.

Beispiel:

Du willst mit dem linken Soft Key in TF3D (auf dem echten TodayScreen) zu SecondToday wechseln und in SecondToday ebenfalls den linken Soft Key benutzen, um SecondToday wieder verschwinden und TF3D auftauchen zu lassen. Einfach einmal den Haken bei Second Today lassen und apply clicken, einmal den Haken bei Manila 3D oder 2D setzen und apply clicken. Fertig!

Wenn Du noch fragen hast - immer her damit!

ENGLISH VERSION:

Download and install SecondToday. You can now launch and switch to this "virtual" today screen by openening the corresponding link in the start menu. As far as I remember, SecondToday will automatically ask you for the today plugins you want to have running on it upon first running the app. Just select the plugins you want. I'm not sure if it is possible to run TF3D on the "virtual" today screen - but probably not.

Now switch to the "Soft Keys" menu to set up the soft keys to be able to switch between the real and the virtual today screen. This menu is slightly confusing: Top right you select which soft key you want to change - the one in TF3D or the one on Second Today? "Title" defines the label of the soft key and the entry in "Path to Program" shouldn't be changed. Set everything the way you want it and hit "apply to registry".

An example:

You want to use the left soft-key to switch from TF3D to the virtual screen and also the left soft-key to go back to TF3D: Just tick "Second Today" once and hit apply and hit the corresponding Manila bix once and hit apply. That's it!

For transferring files using chat messaging, I can't find a better WM6 messenger app than the Windows Messenger that is included in the AP4 ROM.

I want to transfer files with a friend who has a AT&T Tilt/Kaiser. They are using the original Tilt ROM, and they don't want to change the ROM.

I would like to get the CAB or the installer for the version of Windows Messenger I have, so they can install it on their Tilt (preferable the CAB.)

I think Windows Messenger is a component of Windows Live rather than a separate app, and the Windows Live installers I've been able to find don't have a working version of Windows Messenger.

I'd appreciate it if someone can help me find a CAB or installer app that includes the Windows Messenger that comes with AP4.

Been working great for ages, but over the past few days its been crashing (freezing, followed a few seconds later by screen fading out with various coloured vertical lines) and the only way to reboot is remove battery and start again.

There does not seem to be any pattern to when it crashes - sometimes minutes, but ran all weekend without a hiccup.

I have tried Axios CloseApps 1.40 to get rid of everything running that i dont need and this hasnt helped (crashed immediately the confirm screen came up once). Also run Reg Cleaner to see if that helps, cured a couple of issues but still crashing. Did have overclock at 240, but turned this back to 192 and still falls over.
