Google Maps download

I've played with some other offline map programs like Terracrosser, which also comes with a map downloader. The problem seems to be the download of satellite data, which leads blocking your ip by Google after a certain amount of data. Downloading the plain maps is possible without restrictions (at least some months ago). Because Terracrosser doesn't work after my X1-upgrade, i'd like to test this program. Seems pretty good. Maybe other people can test if download works for plain maps from Google. Because version 0.6 is not available, I can't test it myself. Hope the Googlemaps will be included again, because for Asian maps I like Google.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NaviComputer:
Update V0.6

Hi,

finally it's uploaded. New version 0.6

See first post for download.

2009-11-15 : Version 0.6

NaviMapper:

- GoogleMap, GoogleSatellite, GoogleLabels are due to license restrictions not supported officially anymore. Google doesn't allow users to cache maps from their server google.com/

- YahooMap, YahooSatellite, YahooLabels are due to license restrictions not supported officially anymore. Yahoo doesn't allow users to cache maps from their servers yimg.com/hx/ and yimg.com/ae/

- Added possibility to add/customize map download sources. For example you can add OpenCycleMap, OpenPisteMap... This can be done by modifying the configfile "MapSources.xml". Please respect user agreements concerning download of map servers. You are acting on your own responsibility.

NaviComputer:

- Added (W)QVGA support (coffee appreciated) ;)

- Added landscape support

- Added option to alway keep device on (prevent automatic standby)

- Added possibility to switch between metric and US units

- Display duration time of imported gpx tracks

Please note:

Support of GoogleMaps is not a matter of IP blocking. It's a matter of law. I won't violate user agreements of any other company and I don't want to get into trouble about this subject.

By the way, Virtual Earth and even OpenStreetMap are nearly as good as Google (at least in my region).

Thanks for your understanding.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hdaackda:
yes man we understand.. no matter what, you have an awesome program!!

its just that apart from google, all other progs suck for my region.. anyways, you wouldnt mind if we (unofficially) modded ur prog (or the mapsource) and added google in the later versions, would you ;)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] windowz65:
Great work!

That's sad about GMaps...

May you add an improvment to desktop app? - an option to select map of any shape, like "free-form select" tool in MSPaint?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] windowz65:
I think changing .xml mapsource file will destroy the app. It should not run anymore.. Tell me how, if I'm wrong.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bmazloum:
Thanx, great stuff. Gonna see how I can add my own sources and hopefully get it to work.

Anyone have a handy XML file from the previous versions. For comparison :)

windowz65, you're probably forgetting a "/" or something?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dannyboycrump:
0.6 fixed my mapper issue thanks :)

This is probably one of the most useful mobile applications I have ever used. Thank you so much for your hard work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikgyver:
One more thing regarding waypoints, it would be good to have a button or context-menu for 'pin my location', or something similiar. Again with the above example, say we find water not on a map, if we could add a waypoint and icon at that location, then when we see other hikers or get back to the ranger station, we can tell them the coordinates.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] annerose:
Great apps, but it is sad that it doesn't support GMaps. Gmaps is the most detail one. OpenStreet map doesn't detail..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hdaackda:
@mikgyver: The GPS drains a lot of battery.I have the same issue with almost all GPS apps (e.g. garmin, marathon, navi etc..). Its not a problem with just ths app

After editing mapsource.xml file and adding google server name i am getting blank screen. So please tell how to ad map server in xml file? please anybody show screen shot of edited file !!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mellojoe:
any word on a non-touchscreen version? Any thoughts to going that direction?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Irfanulla:
Amaazing application. Solved my problem of a GPS in india. Only if it had a search option and a directions to a place. It would be a complete navigator.

The major problem in download is the speed!!!!! Its soooo soooo soooo slow takes ages to download some 50mb. My avg speed of net is 256kbps. But still it doesn't download in that speed :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] windowz65:
I have the same issue when running AFTER iGO.

Soft reset solves the problem

.

BTW, Thats Ok running in parallel. Looks like iGO makes the receiver unavailable for other apps, when it closes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ltres:
All right, i know, the GMaps has licence for use bla bla bla.. But im my region the others maps don't give the same perspective from the city.. Only federal roads.. :mad:

Please, i take the risk!!!! :eek: Without GMaps the program don't work for me anymore...

How do i configure MapSource to work with Google???? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jncokilla:
is there a Cab for this app... I flash my phone alot and I like this app
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikgyver:
Ditto on that, I seem to flashing about once per week.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pana800:
Once you have set up the app on your PC, you can find the cap in the folder C:\Program Files\NaviComputer\NaviComputer\NaviComputer.CAB.

(let's say C: is you system drive)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paw3lk:
Downloading maps works fine although not always, sometimes it will fail for some reason. Importing GPX files does not work for me though. GPX track appears on the list but once I click on it I get spinning umbrella and that's as far as it goes. I can't even shut the app after that, I need to soft reset.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ltres:
Same here..

error

NaviComputer looks great but it doesn´t work on my smartphone :(. I don´t know if it meets system requirements. I have HP iPAQ Voice Messenger with Windows Mobile 6.1. I have installed new .NET Compact Framework (3.5) and it still writes "NaviComputer.exe NotSupportedException". The whole message is long.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cohen84:
same here, moreover, when i open the gpx file i see that it doesn't record anything, and while i am in the recording track option the distance, speed and the route don't update.

I am using htc diamond with WM6.5.1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikgyver:
I doubt that it's the phone, because I am also running a Diamond with 6.5.1 (Calkakin's), and don't have any problems.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Toysrme257th:
i LOVE THIS!!!

its just sooo unbearably long to download detailed maps from the slow free GPS servers that its not worth the effort & time to mess with.

solution:

cache the damn thing state by state, region by region & country by country.

start taking donations/$1 fee & use the funds to put it on a 100mb seedbox for $15-50usd/month
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mellojoe:
what phone? It seems that this program does not support non-touchscreen phones.

yet. Hopefully?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikgyver:
Calorie Info

I've been showing this program off at work, and everyone loves it, thinking it will be great for running. That begs the question, could the program also give you calorie consumption data? I think other programs do it by letting the user select what activity they are doing, and it multiplies that variable by the speed. I wouldn't think that would be too hard?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phrebh:
Navigation Possible with GPX Route Generator

First off, thanks for the nice program. :D

For those who would like some navigation with this tool, I found a workaround using the PC. The site http://gpx.geotags.com/ uses the Google maps API to get the directions and export a standard GPX file. I tested it using the default "TRK" format and put the generated file into the Logs folder on my phone (AT&T Tilt with Solace 3.1). I opened the program, went to the GPX screen, selected my route, and when I went back to the map screen, my route was displayed.

It does use the older version of maps, so you can't drag points to get better routes, but it is useful, nonetheless.

Great App

Great app Keep on!!! cheers!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grendel1960:
Excellent just the ap I have been looking for, I have 2 ipaqs and only one of them (the one with bad battery life - wouldnt you believe it) can run the CF gps unit that plugs into the top of the ipaq, and that isnt the one I have mapping software registered for, so this ap has sorted it out for me. Only one question, is there any way to keep the position reference stationary and track the map round it, I tried it on the way to work this morning and though moving the map by finger draggings OK on a wide area map, if you are zoomed in you need to move it every few seconds, if that feature could be added it would be an awesome app.

Great app !!! Wonderfull...

If we could integrate POI

---

edit : I download a POI file (.gpx) and try to open it in NaviComputer... -> Crash of the app !

The file contains data like that :

Is that normal ?

, it would be better. With route calculator and voice guidance...:rolleyes:

Is there any sources for hiking map ?

go! you are awesome!

.NET .. Framework

...to solve my problem, I understand I do need to install .NET ... - it is not included in the latest WM6.5 OS, I suppose.

What exactly do I need? ".NET Compact Framework" in the latest version? (3.5?)

And where can I be sure to get the latest available version? (".NET Compact Framework 3.5 Redistributable" at www.mircosoft.com?)

Thanks for your help.

Long touch on the map, select "Center GPS Position".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NaviComputer:
Hi,

I'm glad to see that some of you get more and more familiar with the program and can support others. That's how it's supposed to work :)

I'm aware of the problem with certain gpx files. Currently only gpx files which contain a track (trk node in xml) can be imported. Trying to load a gpx file without track node will freeze the program. I'll fix this in the upcoming version.

About your non touchscreen support requests:

I have no experience with non touchscreen devices and at the moment I don't know how much time and effort that will cost. I will have a look at this topic but I cannot promise anything...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grendel1960:
yes, I found that out coming home tonight, so am really happy with it now, especially as it helped me round a closed motorway tonight too.

Grendel
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mellojoe:
That phone is a non-touchscreen phone, which is not supported right now it seems.

Maybe if enough of us send the guy a couple of bucks, he might consider... A few 6-packs might be enough incentive. :) Maybe? :p

PS:

Wow, that phone looks exactly like the Samsung SGH-i637, aka the "JACK".

Doesn't work on

Hi,

Nice app, currently using GPS Tuner, but yours looks better and is much faster from what I've seen. However I have a HTC Universal and an Ipaq 214, both with TOMTOM 7 installed, and couldn't get the GPS to work with either. I nave .NET 3.5 installed on both and they use an external GPS receiver.

Again nice software, but some help would be nice.

[Off-topic] quadcorecraig:
hi i am new to this site my name is Craig i have just got a XDA zest at what i thort was a really good price £40 boxed and mint :D

i have seen a few mods for the phone alredy this sites seems the best around for this kind of thing.

i like the look of windows mobile 6.1 Diamond

i am looking for help and advice on what progams i will need to mod this phone

so...what stuff should i download first ?
[Off-topic] MikeChannon:
Hi ad welcome:):)

£40 = a good price indeed.

Unfortunately for you, the Zest (although it's an XDA from O2) is actually made made Asus - unlike almost all other O2 PDA/phones that are made by HTC. As you may know we concentrate on HTC phones here. So unfortunately you won't find a forum for the zest.

However, as the phone runs Windows Mobile then most applications that get mentioned here will have a version for your phone. So you can hunt around the site using the search funtion) for applications and programmes) there are also many sites offering freeware for windows mobile and of course there are also hundreds of paid apps as well. It's easier for folk to suggest an application if you say what sort of things you want to do with the phone. Spmetimes it's easier to browse around the freeware Windows Mobile sites.

Regarding changing ROMs or changing the version of Windows Mobile Operating System (OS). Do not use applications or programmes for doing this that you see here. The OS for mobile phones is specific to each phone model and as the Zest is not included here then there is no suitable OS upgrade available here. If you attempt to change the OS using stuff found here you could "brick" your phone or to put it another way - render it useless, a paperweight, a "brick"!!! So far as I'm aware there is no site currently creating ROMs for Asus phones (I could be wrong) other than perhaps Asus or O2 who MAY issue ROM updates from time to time.

How to start a small Earthquake with your Touch Pro 2.

Step 1: Go to Settings, and set Phone to either Vibrate, Vibrate and Ring or Ring then Vibrate.

Step 2: Have someone call the same device that was set to vibrate and be prepared to hold on to something! :eek:

Yes. This was sarcasm :D Sorry if it wasn't your type of humor, but I just wanted to get across the fact that the vibration for the Touch Pro 2 (for Sprint at least) is insane. If my Ringer Volume isn't at it's max, the vibration will drown out the sound for the Ringer.

Also, if I'm in class (I'm a college student) and I have it set to vibrate, every single person in the class knows I have a call/text. A little ridiculous with the class is about 70 people.

I've posted a thread on PPC Geeks and people have similar problems, but no luck finding a fix and/or making a fix. Anyone here feel the same way?

Anyone know of a fix or can maybe experiment on a fix?

(Again, sorry if this wasn't funny, I thought I could add a little humor to the issue, lol)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] pistou:
Here's the right fix: don't have your phone on during class -- listen to the prof instead (some humour and sarcasm back atcha). :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] thelovatscout:
I'm just going to assume there is no fix. lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ThreeTima:
I seem to remember some time ago, when searching for Touch Pro (1) Tweaks, that there was a registry key that could be edited to change the vibration level. Who knows, it may still work. Though if you find it and you go that route, be sure to read all instructions. If it doesn't work, then you will either have to edit it back to the original, or delete the key (in the event that the key was not there). In extreme cases, you might have to do a factory reset, so backing up is reccomended (Microsoft Myphone is good for backing up nearly all unrecoverable things, like address book, pics, documents, texts, etc.

As I rarely have vibrate turned on, I haven't really run into this problem, yet. But this may be a solution worth looking into.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] thelovatscout:
If anyone could do that, it would be bloody effing awesome. I've been looking everyday, searching in threads for any fixes but nothing. I've tried myself a little bit but I'm not a...expert, lol at the whole registry things.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] laurenmac:
Ha! Same thing happens to me in class so I just set it on silent and deal with not being notified of anything. I've never had a phone vibration that actually startled me, but it happens.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] DuMnUt101:
There's a couple of registry fixes I've seen for this, it never really bothered me. I just open my phone up like a laptop and put it on silent when I'm at work.. if anything comes up it shows up on the screen.

I'm sorry I can't actually provide you with those registry fixes, you'll have to spend a night searching through the forums or google.

BUT http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-vibro.html

This program here might help change the vibrate pattern making it not as long of a vibrate cause I know my text messages do a solid vibrate for a good 2-3 seconds it feels like..

Hope this helps.

PS.. Why are you awake in class anyways, I slept through all of my classes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] thelovatscout:
lmao very good question. Maybe a very good answer is that the vibration wakes me up! lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] omganinja:
Solution: Silent :O
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jamssx:
Don't forget this is a "business" phone and as such people like to pretend to be being considerate by switching their phone to vibrate but still want people in the room to know how important they are in that they are being contacted all through the meeting.

Sarcasm aside I would say the vibrate on mine (T-Mo TP2) is weak to say the least. Often don't notice its vibrating... So if you find a setting, I'd like to ramp mine up!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] thelovatscout:
Wow. You are a genius. Seriously.

Anyways, I suppose my sarcasm in the first post opened a door for a little less productive sarcasm. Anyways, I have still been searching and have found nothing.

It's interesting to know that the T-mo TP2 has a lower vibration! Very peculiar. I'll keep looking through my registry but so far I have come up dry.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] imjussayin:
i have the TMo TP2 also and the vibration is rather strong.....no fix in sight....oh well :cool: .....just do like i do, put it in your pocket and enjoy! :D

lol....sorry sarcasm is addictive

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] lilchip85:
i think the vibration is strong for my tmo tp2. i work at wal mart part time and it gets very busy and loud. when i get a message the managers that are next to me can hear it vibrate through my pocket! so i've been leaving it on silent lately.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] agrickard:
Maybe there was sarcasm meant back, but not sure it should be classified as "a little less productive" as, seriously, why do you need the vibrate active in class anyway and can't just switch it to silent?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ai6908:
LOL...yea good sarcasim! I cant put my phone in vib during meetings either, just too loud. But I think it is the truth in most of the pda phones! Best way to deal with this is put in silent.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] skippyg4:
wow to think this is a problem is kinda funny. i totally understand how the loudness would be a problem for some but for the first time in a long time with a mobile phone i can have the device set on vibrate and actually know the device is vibrating. last time i could use effective vibration setting was back in the RIM 950/957 days maybe even older skytel pager days....:)

good luck in your search and if you find a way to make it even stronger send the info my way:D:D:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rightjb:
Good Vibrations

Did anyone have success with the .cab?

I'm also seeking a way to immediately toggle to SILENT instead of VIBRATE using Rhodium Keyboard Controller - but to no avail. Help anyone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rryanosman:
Got a new Telus TP2 here, and I came across this thread looking for a way to BUMP UP the vibration. I've missed every call since I've got this phone because the vibrate is almost unnoticeable... compared to my titan which gave me a jolt when it vibrated.

Anyway, to be helpful, I am going to suggest you guys look into PhoneAlarm ( hxxp://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html ) , which I used on my titan... I think it has settings to make the vibrate longer or shorter (Custom LED color / vibrate pattern per alarm ). I would have checked it before I posted, but it may be a while before I get around to playing with it. Good luck all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Showtime7:
For me it's always been more of a good thing than a bad thing.... Especially when I'm at the mall or somewhere loud and I'm moving. A weak vibration just isn't cutting it. So yeah, you should probably just go to silent mode if it's too strong for your liking. Not too hard to figure out. :P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rorytmeadows:
Theoretically, it would be the "speed" of the vibrator. Any vibrating parts do so because of uneven rotation.

Over-simplified, it works like this...

Think about the red piece rotating so fast and "lop-sided" that it creates vibration.

This is what you learn in physics class when you turn your phone to silent and PAY ATTENTION.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] akademik_acheeba:
you work at walmart and have a $500 phone ??? part time at that !!! lmao j/k
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] HelloWorld3:
I work part time for minimum wage.

I got my TP2 without a contract.

:) Sure, I don't have to worry about housing or tuition thanks to scholarships, but it's really all about knowing how to manage your money.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Forever022:
I think everyone is looking for a cab or a program to change the vibration including myself.

From previous devices i used since the tilt, fuze and now tilt 2, the way to make the vibration be stronger depends on the sound file we have set to play. either its on vibrate or with the ringer on.... its like if you have a great audio system w woofers in your car. but if the song, doesnt have bass, you wont be hearing the loud woofers, right?

for instance... I use most RRE roms, and his default file plays with a vigurous vibration.

I just tried Energy Rom, and i can tell a big difference in vibration.... same applies for txts messages, depends on the file you have set...
