I am using a HTC Touch Diamond too. I have installed two other tracking tools. GPS Cycle Computer gets all information from the internal GPS. The altitude data is correct. KDR GPS Tracker gets only location data and shows a constant altitude of 600 m. NaviComputer shows no data. But in map view I see the blue arrow at the right position. So I think NaviComputer gets data from GPS. I didn't change any GPS settings. All three apps can work at the same time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BerndOle:
Is that the reason that there are also no data in distance and average speed.

So if your right that makes that program for the XPERIA almost useless.:(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NaviComputer:
Yes, it is

I will provide you with a file for test probably tomorrow. I think we will get this under control.;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] McKinnisG:
Cool. I did get your email also and responded.

Mr. Developer,

If you do happen to like the idea and do plan on trying something like that (CF-30 with built in GPS), I'd be glad to do some testing for you. Just let me know.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amir13:
i shall surly donate!!!:) but for my needs the coordinates display (maybe switch between Alt+Speed and Long+Lat): is very important not to say critical to the usage of this wonderful and simple app. :D please let me know when such app will come in the future. is there any mailing list to join?

.NET Revision

I'm using the HTC Tilt (WM6). When I start NaviComputer, it reports (under Detail) MissingMethodException. And that I need a newer .NET that is installed on this device.

When I click the link you offer for .NET (3.5) and reinstall it, the CAB installer on the phone says this revision is already in ROM and will not install.

Do I have any options?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sfx0815:
That looks good. On my HTC Touch Diamond now I get expected altitude data and location data. Will this be a stable release or will you release a new one?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
Silly question, but have you performed at least a soft reset of the device?

Where did you attempt to install NaviComputer: Device memory or Storage card?

Navi works fine on the Tilt with WM6 and Net 3.5

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BerndOle:
Hallo NaviComputer

a short test sees data in average speed and distance. Also was a gpx file saved wich seems to hold data.

I will make tommorrow a longer test with my dogs and tell you the result.

So far it looks great.:):)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] genem1:
I did not: however that has no affect. Same failure.

Storage Card. Is that a concern?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
HTC Tilt has issues

Hum....I suspected as much, but sometimes a soft reset fixes issues.

Not normally, but sometimes an OS may not "see" all the files on a storage card occasionally. My HTC Touch has done that with WM6.1

It sounds like something has become corrupted and we need to clean house.

This is the method I used to fix a similar problem when I first installed Navi on my personal device.

What I would do at this point is start at square one:

First, uninstall Navicomputer from you card :( temporarily., then using your file explorer or similar, delete the entire NaviComputer directory from the Programs file. This removes any trace with configuration settings.

You can also do this through Active Sync which I find easier.

Second, install a fresh copy of Net 3.5 over the copy you have on the device. Your device will warn you that a previous copy exists and ask permission to overwrite it. Answer Yes to overwrite.

Without the CAB file interferring, you will be able to overwrite the existing copy.

Third, Soft reset the device

Fourth, Install NaviComputer Version .8RC2 (from navicomputer.com)

Lastly, soft reset the device again.

Let me know what occurs. If this method does not work, I will refer the issue to the developer.

Regards,

QA :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] genem1:
HTC Tilt has issues

1: Uninstall from card and remove directory: Done.

2: install a fresh copy of Net 3.5 over the copy you have on the device

Unfortunately, this is where things go south.

The installer on the device starts, and I tell it to install .NET ColdFusion 3.5 on the ‘Device’.

I then get an Error dialog box: The .NET Compact Framework version you are attempting to install already exists in ROM. I can only press OK at which time the install stops: Installation of Microsoft .NET ColdFusion 3.5.CAB was unsuccessful.

Continuing anyway….

3: Soft reset the device: Done

4: Install NaviComputer Version .8RC2 (from navicomputer.com): Done

5: Soft reset the device again: Done

Same issue: MissingMethodException.

Repeat step 1,4,5, but to main memory: Same issue.

Bummer. :mad:

Trouble with HTC tilt

genem,

I am sorry that you are having such difficulty, but we have taken all the basic steps to correct the issue. The developer has been notified, and let's see what he can figure out.

The only other thing you can try at this point while the developer looks over the relevant posts, is to uninstall the present copy of net 3.5 and install a fresh one. Leave Navi installed.

Then retry.

Hang in there. The issue will be resolved.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NaviComputer:
Hi,

I'm sorry to say but there is nothing I can do about this issue. This is definitely not an issue of NaviComputer. It's an issue of Microsoft's .NET, your phone or the guy who provided you with this rom;)

I guess it's not a stock rom, right?

Try executing the file cgacutil.exe in your windows directory. What Framework version does it report?

Did you already ask holy google about this .NET installation issue?

EDIT: Did a quick search and found this. Maybe it helps
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BerndOle:
I've tested this morning and everything works as it should.

I get average speed and distance. I even can save the file and reopen.:):)

What surprises me that I even get a altitude value and if I look in the file it seems as it is correct. My Smartphone is a XPERIA X1 with a modified Rom.

So maybe I come back later with a wishlist.

Thanks so much for your perfect work :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] toadlife:
Excellent

I've been using this for a few days and love it. A couple of things that would bring it closer to perfection...

When in online mode, screen freezes and animated cursor appears whenever a new tile is downloaded. It would be nice if the app could download the needed tiles on the background.

Not sure if you can do anything about this, but NaviMapper application is painfully slow at downloading maps. I live in a rural area (central, CA) and need maps for a wide area. Downloading one tile at a time takes ages.

It would nice if, when in online mode, the application would cache the maps it downloads on the fly for later use.

Cursor is kind of bulky and ugly. Something like the dot + arrow in google maps would look good.

Thanks for a fantastic app. $20 coming your way in a few minutes.

Hello

Is possible prepair map source under W2k pc,please?

Netframework 3and 3.5 for W2k is not supported.

Instalation NaviComputer V0.8R2 is not possible.

I test Navimapper instaled under WinXP.

I unninstal netframework 2.0.after that Nawimaper ask me for framework registry key.I downloading *.dll file .This banks i copy to two location. I make registry key,where bank is located.

In HKLM name installrot

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\CompactFramework\v3.5;C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\ ".

After i have error message"mscorwks.dll could not by loaded".

Any ideas,please?

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deloris:
Hello,

today I used the software for a test run.

Besides NaviComputer I used online tools so that no additional tool had to be installed. Here’s a short how-to:

1. To create the gpx waypoint file: http://www.marengo-ltd.com/map/

This tool is explained in http://freegeographytools.com/2007/creating-gps-routes-in-google-maps

2. After that the waypoint file had to be converted into a track file:

http://www.gpsies.com/convert.do

3. The track files have to be copied in the „logs“ folder and after that loaded in the NaviComputer application.

______________

NaviComputer worked pretty good, but two important issues should be adressed:

1. If one waypoint and the consecutive waypoint are not visible on the screen, the connecting line between these points is not shown.

2. The map does not move with the direction pointer so that every time the pointer is near the edge of the screen, the map has to be corrected by hand. It should suffice that the map is shifted when the pointer is near the edge depending on the velocity of the moving person (a good value would be 30 seconds, before the edge is reached or even better a value that can be set as one likes it). A permanent realignment of the map with rotation and other stuff would discharge the battery to much I think.

______________

Besides the following would be useful:

1. Intelligent screen on/of function: The screen should be off when a “real” direction change happens. “Real” means that the screen is still off when for example the street is bending to the left, but it is on when I need to take the next street right. If in a gpx file a real direction change is not possible, maybe we circumvent that by putting for example 3 waypoints very near to each other as as trigger so that NaviComputer recognizes a real change of direction.

2. Intelligent zoom function: When there is a real change of direction ahead the software should zoom into the map, otherwise zoom out. It would be comfortable if the user could define the zoom factors for these two states.

Best regards and keep on with the good work!

W2K Problems

Bzuky,

NaviComputer works fine on XP. That is what I use. Apparently, you made matters worse by "removing" NF 2.0

Since this resides in ROM, you can cause a bunch of trouble trying to take it out. Upgrading simply requires that you install NF3.5 over the present copy.

The mscorwks.dll implements the execution engine and native object, also calls mscorjit.dll (calls JIT). NET application is executed mainly based on mscorwks.dll, but this is not the only file needed to update 2.0 to 3.5

The .NET Compact Framework is a subset of the full .NET Framework. It implements approximately 30 percent of the full .NET Framework class library and also contains features and classes that are specific to mobile and embedded development.

At this point, let's try to get Navi running on your device. I would download two things:

Microsoft Net Compact Framework 3.5

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3c6b-42f1-9fd9-0041345b3385&displaylang=en,

or from here:

http://microsoft-net-compact-framework.en.softonic.com/pocketpc

Before trying to install the CAB file I included below, you must have NCF3.5 on the device.

You will need an Active Sync connection or equivalent to install.

AND

The CAB file for NaviComputer .8RC2 for you to use (which I have provided below). Transfer the file to your device via Active sync and execute. This puts Navi App on your device from which you can download maps directly from the internet.

NOW, if the above works, then we can go back and try to get your XP running NaviComputer as well, by downloading and installing NF 3.5 for the PC from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&displaylang=en

Please be aware that you cannot successfully install the NF 3.5 on the device. NCF 3.5 was intended for mobile devices.

QA

Pardon the GPS newbie question, but while I'm downloading maps, I am not clear on how you can us this to get directions? It's great to be able to view maps and find your location but if you need to get from here to there, how can you do that with NaviComputer? Thanks and again sorry for the basic questions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nhelliwell:
Hello,

Just gave this a test and can also confirm that the program is now reporting the altitude correctly and creating a valid gpx track file.

Will give it a longer run tomorrow and see how it fairs.

Nice work.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
Unfortunately at present, NaviComputer does not provide point to point navigation. :(

A future version may include an option to mark your destination point and record the track for future reference.

Down the road we may see full navigational capability in NaviComputer but it is not forthcoming in the near. It depends on how fast development progresses and the support obtained from users. NaviComputer takes baby steps to get it right, then takes another. :D

Well, I appreciate the work you've done. I'm still downloading my big map. :) Are there any open-source GPS direction options without a constant connection? I'm taking a trip next month and wondering what my options are. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:

Thank you for you kind praise, but I am simply helping the developer with forum support so that he can devote more time to NaviComputer.

If you appreciate the development like many of us here, you can always buy him a beer! Go to navicomptuer.com, Downloads, see Support Development.

As for other open-source GPS options without a connection.......I don't know of any that actually work, are freeware, and provide full navigational capability.

Stick around. We're getting there! :D

Bug

I am quite sure abot this bug of the software:

---Possible bug: In NaviComp a loaded gpx track sometimes disappear from the monitor of smartphone. I understand that the software shows the track only if as minimum 2 points of the track are visible in the display. If 2 consecutive points are external from the diasplay (typical for high zoom) the track disappears.

---Possible improvement in NaviMapper: I suggest to allow the user to subdivide automatically the map file in more than one files the selected area to map so to obtain smaller nmap file size.

Thank you

When will 0.9 be released? I'm still waiting for the poi support, which is the most important for my usage...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
Bug

Firstly, I will ask the developer look into this to see if we can keep the track visible on contiguous tiles.

Secondly, you CAN download the map set into as many sub-files as you wish as long as they are kept in the Navi Map folder under the root directory. Navi will find whatever map tile it needs and load it without user intervention. It will do this seamlessly regardless of how many nmap files you have within it per location.

I have a map set divided into three (3) nmap files and Navi finds whatever zoom it needs without a problem.

The option to "split" or "skip" zoom levels is useful if you decide to reduce the map set size. If in the future, you need additional zoom levels, you can simply download them into the Navi Map directory.

Note: Total file size of the map set will remain pretty much the same, as long as you choose the same zoom levels, regardless of how many nmap files you split them.

A doubt

This map doesnt support searching or even routing

so is there any real use for using this application

or is there any possibility to search or route the map
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
What is the purpose?

The application NaviComputer is not intended to be a full navigational GPS application such as Garmin, TomTom, iGO etc. It is a location/tracking app intended for activities such as hiking, sports, outdoor field adventures and such.

It does have the capability to display tracks created from other GPS applications in GPX file format which can be displayed on the map screen, as well as its' own, which can be followed giving a quasi ability to get you from known point to point. IT will not provide navigational guidance on its' own.

BOTH NaviMapper which is installed on the PC to create and dowload map sets, AND NaviComputer (can also view and create maps directly off data connection) on the device, have the ability to "search" for an address, city or county.

Visit navicomputer.com website to discover all the options available in the present version .8RC2 (and get a peek at the upcoming version 9 while your there.)

There's more to a book than its' cover!

I have a Touch Diamond and can not use downloaded nmaps, be it is in v.05, 06 or 08. I have dowloaded several nmaps of various zoom level and placed them in Maps folder but do not see any of them in context menu except OpenStreetMap.

I will probably wait until v.09 in a hope this problem will be solved.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qanda6900:
Diamond 2 problem

Could you please explain what you mean a bit more in detail?

I think that the Diamond should work fine with NaviComputer version .8RC2 which is the latest version. If you dowloaded maps from OpenStreetMaps, that is what should show in the Context Menu. If you obtained maps from another source such as OpenPisteMaps, then both sources would show giving you the option to choose whichever you want. Some users have both street and satellite maps for the same location, and both will be listed in the Context Menu.

It is more likely that you do not have the location for which you wish you use the tiles in the center of the map screen.

If you are using an internal gps, do you get a green flag in the upper right corner of the map screen?

This means the gps has locked on and all you should need to do in go to the Context Menu, and click on Center Gps Location. If your maps have been put into the Maps folder as you said, then the zoom -/+ keys should work fine.

Another issue that sometimes prevents the maps from being displayed: The user has not included the lower zoom levels such as 6-7-8 in the map set.

The lower levels allow Navi to "see the location" you want and load the proper zoom. If you have only high zoom levels, unless you can target the head of a pin on a world map (center screen), Navi will not be able to identify the location you wish, and will not zoom down beyond level 3 (default).

Version 9 will not change your issue. Give me some additional details and we probably can get Navi working on your device.

QA

Thank you for the feedback. Most of my maps downloaded are VirtualEarthHybrid maps. I assumed that when I open Context Menu's Map, VirtualEarthHybrid maps would be listed along with OpenStreenMap. It is not.

I tried version .8RC2, it does not change the situation either.

I will see in clicking on Center Gps Location when the green flag lights up.

gps tracking

hi i am interested in the gps tracking. i was recording my travels and outputting them to google earth for viewing. i did a walk of about 2 miles yesterday, but when i upload it to google earth, it shows me walking through houses, with the direction i took averaged out to about 5 or 6 points. the file i used was packed with points for the map.

Is this a google earth issue, gps trait or navicomputer bug?

Map Problems

NOTE: PLease be aware that map sources from Microsoft VirtualSteet Map, Google and a few others do not permit their maps to be cached, and therefore, the NaviComputer team cannot offer specific support when their products are involved.

However, a "hint" here and there can't offend them.

You are correct. The maps you mention should be listed in the Context Menu. You may need to modify the xml file to reflect the map source.

Centering GPS with a lock will help display the zoom levels, but I am more concerned that the map set does not show. If the maps were all downloaded with NaviMapper or to the device directly as nmap files (meaning the xml file is working properly), Navi should see them.

I will run this by the developer to see if this is an issue with Navi, but I do not believe so.

I use Navi with 3 different sources, and all of them show in Context Menu.

The forum contains many discussions about map problems.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hankeys:
how can i get from nmap file the tiles? i want use these tiles in another program...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NaviComputer:
hi,

when saving the gpx file in navicomputer, you can select the trackpoint intervall. Probably your selected intervall was too long? If you select a short intervall (e.g 5 seconds) and you had good GPS signal on your way, there will be a trackpoint every 5 seconds. I'm quite sure there is no bug regarding this neither in google earth nor in navicomputer.
