I agree... been using iGuidance9 for over a year now without a hitch. After experimenting with TomTom, Garmin, Mobile Nav, etc. I found iGuidance BY FAR to be the easiest to install, setup, and get working with my GPS receiver. Maps are as up to date as all the others (although ALL of them have the street on which I live & surrounding wrong and constantly says I am off-road when on my street, but hey I know where that is so I don't need to know how to get home... but the problem lies in the source they all get their maps from and not the software itself... I have called about some updates)

But my vote goes for iGuidance9... very little lag on Fuze, and with text to speech can't complain about any of it. Recalculates well, customizable...

Thread is still going strong

I made this thread after I purchased my TMOUS TP2 back in August of last year. Nice to see it's still alive, I can not update the Poll, XDA has no options for me to do that, you can try sending a pm to a moderator to add other GPS software to the list. I'm currently using the TMOUS HD2 and the 2011 maps.

I just recently posted a cab to Auto Rotate Garmin Mobile XT automatically.

Go to the link below, check out the screenshot and install the cab.

My vote goes for CoPilot 8

I have been a PDA / Nav System user dating back close to 10 years. I've used some software packages that were horrible, but I think a lot of that was due to the timing / maturity of Nav software for the mobiles. When I first tried Tom Tom, it eclipsed all of the programs that I had tried in the past. I hadn't tried IGO at that time. When I found out that TT wasn't going to support NA in the future, i tried IGO which was more feature rich, but less intuitive. When I switched over to the Tilt 2 of course the version of IGO I was using (8.0) didn't support WVGA. It still works, just limits the display to VGA. I then tried CoPilot 8 and am very satisfied. Download the directory with the maps, put it on any SD Card that will work on your phone and off you go. It auto installs, has many features, and is very intuitive. The refresh/update rate on the screen is as smooth or smoother than any one that I've tried to date. It doesn't have the 3D building that iGo has, but it makes up for it with it's intuitive use with voice guidance.

I haven't tried Garmin XT and it sounds like it is a dying animal per other posts that investigated. I am not interested in assessing a program that is being abandoned by the vendor.

I will try iGO 8.3 which supports WVGA, but in all honesty, unless it also improves on it's usability I would be surprised if I change my opinion. Also, the latest Bing sports voice turn by turn guidance. I use it to find locales when I don't have a name or it doesn't fit nicely into the categories and I then load it into the CoPilot 8 to guide me home.

I haven't tried CoPilot Live which adds traffic and some other stuff, that may put it all in one package.

Great discussion. I haven't had anything to drive me to look at other Nav programs since I switched to CoPilot, and several posts have resparked my interest.

Cheers

Does anyone have a WORKING link to a version of this and possibly a direction to a website that I can get North America ( NYC ) maps for it ...

I have successfully installed AMAZE GPS. ROUTE66, GARMIN MOBILE XT and others like BING and GOOGLE MAPS but must say so far I am disappointed ...

if anyone can send me a message as to where I might download a working version for the Touch Pro 2 I would be externally most greatful ...

It may not be as full featured as the rest, but Copilot Live 8 does a great job and it costs $35.00! It has all the routing features and POI's and a clean interface. Been using it for a few weeks now with no problems.

Here's a link for reference, http://www.alk.com/copilot/.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] shawndh:
Wow! $35 for maps downloadable to your own storage card, voice recognition, finger scrolling, and announces street names. That looks like the winner to me if it actually works the way they say it does.

Is it true that this software cannot be deleted or removed once it's installed? I think I read something like that on HoFo.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] darkmon:
not sure about deleting the files off the card. But I always have the backup on my computer. Also you need to activate the program either online through the phone or with the code they give you. it's very simple and quick. You can also deactivate the program when re-flashing or going to another phone. I've activated/deactivated my software almost a dozen times. It's a bit of a process, but once you do it it's straight forward.

Hope this helps.

The trial version cannot be uninstalled in the normal way, and the latest HTC ROM has the trial in the ROM.

My biggest issue with CP was the 'distance to exit' seems to be based on the far end of the junction, so the 'turn off now' announcement comes as you just miss the exit!

Gordon[/QUOTE]
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] darkmon:
What HTC ROM are you referring to with the trial version?

The distance to exit issue has not been a problem for me. It is also adjustable in the settings. I assume that you are referring to the "turn warnings" setting in the setup. You have 4 warnings spaced at 2 mi., 1mi., 3/10 mi., and "at turn" which can be lengthened to 8 seconds from 3. There is also the "clear turn" setting which you can switch on or off and gives you warnings when the exit is within .2 mi. to 3miles. And you can hide when the turn is within 03 mi. to at turn.

Hope this helps.

When I buy a gps navigation software, I am not interested if it can tell me the weather or the airplanes timing. It's not what I need ! I need good and new maps, I need accuracy.

Beside, if you want a free one go for google maps. The biggest problem of Google maps for me is that I don't have an unlimited data plan lol

I do agree TOTALLY that Garmin XT is the best navigation software there is for a WinMo device.

Do you know which version you're using? I've got 7.410, 7.910, and 7.916 (just released). 7.410's GPS performance seems to work well for me on this version so I use this one. But it doesn't work with my physical keyboard and I can't see the GPS status or how many satellites I've got.

7.916 works, but it gives wrong directions and doesn't tell you to turn until you're on top of the turn. Too much lag.

7.910 I couldn't get to install. Just wondering if you similar experiences with your version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] iti_uk:
I like TomTom, but I would prefer Google Maps if it could automatically re-route when you miss a junction (like TTN) and let you choose between North-always-up and heading-always-up.

Forthcoming downloadable version of Garmin Mobile XT?

I called Garmin today to ask about ability to move software from their micro SD card to my own card. The guy I spoke with said there is no way to do so today, but in about 4 to 5 weeks they are coming out with a new version that will be downloadable.

I'm going to check back around October 1st to see if the "Buy Now" option has a download option, then I'll know if it's the new version.

If the support guy was right, it may be worth the wait...

You can download the latest Garmin Mobile XT now, don't believe everything some rep tells you. You can transfer the files to any storage you want, just make sure you copy all the files, rename the storage the same as the old one.

As far as having more regions on a map, I'm sure you do that also, I'm sure you can do that also, just use mapinstaller, select all the countries you want to use.

Before you attempt anything, Do RE-SEARCH. Always double check the informaton you are given.

testing the Garmin Windows Mobile Xt.

Just installed this along with the following map City_Navigator_Europe_NT_2010.10

took it out for a test drive and basically had to turn it off as the view of the screen was so far back i.e. it was not down at street level. Nothing like Tomtom or IGO8. Spent a while going through the menus and everything seemed to be ok. View was 3d, map detail set to most. No option to get it to display how i would of expected it to be. There was of course the +/- onscreen but even this didnt take it down far enough.

Shame as really liked the fact that it had free traffic and speedcamera updates as well as other info like flight times etc.

Anybody know if this is normal for garmin software as never used it before. My display does look like the one on the 1st page of this thread but this surely is not right for when you actually start driving ?

I want to be able to see the streets as i drive past them not some way back view where the car moves only slightly every few miles.

any assistance appreciated.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] zomig:
already enabled but has made no difference, zoom in although brings it closer it is no where near where it should be. I can only compare to the likes of Tomtom and IGo8 as these are the only other sat nav programs i have used.

I would expect them all to be at least showing you a view at street level.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cdguider:
You must be doing something wrong

I have no problem viewing any streets, I can view everything fine including seeing all streets and names. Call Garmin, you have to be doing something wrong, if the softare doesn't work for you switch.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] RogerStenning:
AmazeGPS has a few problems. First, you need an active 3G or better connection whenever you're using it, or you won't get map tiles showing where you are. Second, because it downloads the map tiles on the fly, you'll use a shedload of bandwidth when you're using it. Third, it takes ages to plan trips, and I haven't been able to get it to properly recognise postal codes (US: Zip Codes) yet.

That said, it's free :)

Navit: I'm working on this one at the moment. The current release version of the cab for WINCE (Windows Mobile) is "navit-0.1.1.cab", and is NOT navigable, or searchable yet. In addition, you need to undertake some fairly hefty brainwork (if you're anything like me, and aren't a programmer by trade) to amend the configuration file called "navit.xml". Lastly, you have to source the maps yourself - luckily, it can utilise the OSM (Open Street Map) data, but there are issues with how it renders the data (the font used for street names splurges all over the blasted place at basic street navigation zoom levels, another config requirement on the xml file I've yet to get to grips with). On the OSM - there are obviously gaps in it's coverage and effectiveness, as it's maintained by amateurs. In addition, it's potentially open to abuse by ne'er-do-wells. On the plus side, it's regularly updated, and all you have to do it extract the data you need to be up-to-date again, no fees required, so again, this is a free application.

Personally, I think Navit is a definite way forward, but there's a hell of a lot of work yet to be accomplished, and for that, we have to wait in the development team, who do all the work in their own time.

Hope the above helps :)

I'm a bit confused... the latest Garmin XT that I know of (and love BTW) is 5.00.20w.. and the support page at Garmin (http://www8.garmin.com/support/collection.jsp?product=010-11034-00) seems to have this posted as the latest version.. Is there a newer one that I am unaware of?

On another note I'd like some information on iGo8 for anyone who gets it working. I remember trying (and failing) to get iGo8 working on my Touch Pro.. hours of frustration and I just could NOT get the configuration files to work. I had been using a "free" copy to test it before I bought it, and I just couldn't get it to work. In the end it just crashed.. and the Touch Pro didn't have the fm receiver or whatever you needed to get the traffic info.

I'd love to see iGo8 work on TP2 against how Garmin XT is because they are in a sense polar opposites.. Garmin is relatively simple design and operation, it's very easy to keep track of the info on the screen as you glance over while driving. By contrast iGo8 gives you TONS of information and has all kinds of 3D objects that enhance the experience.. what I don't know yet is if it's too much information on screen to be useful when driving through crowded streets or busy highways.

In any case, what would help is the specific version number you're on and the configuration file (I believe it's SYS.TXT).
