OMG!:cool: I couldn't even imagine this app did such a nice job, especially to me, who can easily get lost like a babe in the woods!

Thank you VERY MUCH!!!:)

UPD: It would be really nice, if the Download Map window showed not only tiles downloaded/left, but also time elapsed/needed.

Hi. I discovered a problem today. The "Start New Track..." won't work. When I started it, after a couple of seconds, it gives the following error and then crash:

An unexpected error has occurred in NaviComputer.exe.

Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information.

Details:

Hi,

I have been using it for about a year. It's a great software and thanks!

Do you think you could support the bing map (virtual earth) birdseye view?

I believe the script should be:

http://ecn.t{2}.tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/o{QuadKey}-{RuntimeIndex}-{0}-{1}.jpeg?g=580

How can I convert this link for Navi?

need help to follow the track

Hi ,Thanks for the app. Iam using it on my HTC Touch Diamond 2 with WM6.5 official ROM.

Is there any option,to follow the saved tracks. for ex- iam going to some offroad places without map---while going i will be saving the tracks. While return back, i have to follow the saved track.

if not is there any application for the above.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spirziv:
hi to all,

I downloaded today, installled but have problem with maps.

My map files .nmap created with NAVIMAPPER cant work.

I copy them in maps folder in my storage card where NaviComputer is installed, but when I start the program, I cannot select maps, there is empty "world" in main screen.

Is this maybe becouse I select only small area (10 km x 20 km) for downloading with navimapper or ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spirziv:
Such a nice help.....

TNX for this, it resolve all my starting problems
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uwe347:
If you are going offroad and need advanced tracking functions look at

home.vrweb.de/~k-d.redeker/GPS/GPS_Tracker.htm

It has no map support, but a lot of possibilities for offroad navigation. Reversing of a track and guidance to follow it are only some of the functions. Very powerful, but a bit difficult to operate, due to the great number of different functions.

For an english version look at the bottom right of this page:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soma900:
NaviComputer does the job very well. You can save the track on the going, when returen load the saved track first and follow it. And you can operate with a map.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mjose:
Hi, Thanks for the reply. I will check the app and update you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Homer-S:
Hi,

is it maybe possible to make a pause function for tracking a gps path.

For example if you are on a hike and make some rest you could switch to pause and save battery and you only have one gpx file ....

Thanks for this good software
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darthveda:
Here's another suggestion for 0.96 version:

In the map view, there is a bar showing current scale/zoom for example: a white/black bar and then text showing 700m (15).

Can we have an option which enables a grid on the map screen with the current chosen scale, thus allowing the user to know how far to travel to a destination or POI. This would be very useful.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] solo012:
TS~

I installed the software... select an area and download the map... transferred to the map folder but I still cant see the map...

What's the problem? Any solution for that?

Thanks in advance.

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darthveda:
To see if the map you download is correct, goto GPX tab, select the ">>" button on top of the screen to move to OFFLINE MAPS screen, select your map and continue to hold till a pop up appears saying "Show Map". You should now be in a screen where your map is displayed

Hi all developers of Navi Computer, it's very usefull app. so thanks.

But i have one little problem... When i download maps in zoom level for example 17 and 15 and i want to scroll over the map in 15 zoom everything is ok but when i want to zoom over the land where is only available zoom level 15 app crashes :-( Sorry for my english, but i hope that you understand my problem. Do you know about this "bug" ? Can you fix this in 0.96? This bug is showing only when i have more layers (Mobile Atlas Creator).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darthveda:
Is it possible to a verify feature in the map program (PC) which verifies the map download to make sure it won't crash the program when displayed. I have had few corruption in map files which has caused navicomputer to crash when scrolling to the problematic area on the map screen. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] axelpix:
+1 for the PAUSE button.

You may not even have GPS reception when you rest in a restaurant. For tracking hiking trails it's almost essential to be able to pause the track recording.

GPSCycleComputer may be an alternative meanwhile. But the map functionality of NaviComputer is way better.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
yet another +1 on this :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] luffyp:
I believe you can just turn off the gps in the program (tap on the top right corner on the gps symbol). This will pause the recording since there're no new points to add when gps is turned off. When you turn gps on again, the recording will resume.

Alternatively, if using HD2, you can press the physical stand-by button on the phone. This will turn off gps and put the phone in the stand-by mode. When the phone wakes up, the gps and the recording will resume.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Homer-S:
I will try the first hint.

the second is not possible for me because I made GPS working even if I have it in stand by ... see some pages before if you are interessted in.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Homer-S:
One new question, even if I dont know if it is still read by developer?!

Is it possible to make a save function for the PC map downoad tool for the selected rectangle?

It would help to download exectly the same areas e.g. for updates in OSM

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] c4ginn:
Is it possible to using google maps with the NaviComputer.....?

I mean not the openstreetmaps.....cause google maps is better than it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darthveda:
you can use mobile atlas creator to create maps using google maps or any maps source in navicomputer format.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soma900:
It is a great software. I am using it all the time. But it lacks 2 features.

1. Navigation. When follow a GPX track it does not show info when need to make a turn or change track.

2. get online GPX route and show it on the map.

Hope the developer will implement these features.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bismuth89:
Before trying out this app, I just want to know can we search for an address, a street using this map? (search online or offline is OK).

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bart3385:
No options for search. It's basically just GPS over bitmap images.

Cannot get it to work with an external BlueTooth antenna

This post is a question

The Navi computer program is the best I have used so far THANKS .

However, I tried to use it with an external BT antenna, it always defaults to internal GPS antenna.

How can I select the com port, to use Navi computer, with an external BT antenna.

My TomTom program allows me to select the BT com port and it automatically closes internal GPS and opens bluetooth GPS.

My HTC P3650 Touch cruise (polaris), is equiped with WM 6.1

I have searched the net and found a reg hack in navicomputer blog/?p=14

I think they are for other models and did not work for my HTC touch cruise P3650, Polaris.

Is there any body who could help me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Homer-S:
Hello all,

I found a perfect fitting piece of software for our loved NaviComputer.

Mobile Atlas Creator

It is not easy but after some tries you will get very nice maps. You can choose from very many different map sources (OSM, Yahoo, MS, Google, etc) and greate a Nmap file.

The only thing is (was) that you can only use zoom level 1 to 17. 18 is not supportet (yet). I already made a bug report and the developer gave me a positive feedback. In the next beta MOBAC 1.9 preview 3 it should be fixed ....

Isn't it good news?

Btw you can save the areas and zoom levels which you want to download regularilly. So no need for trieing to fin the exact rectangl :))

Guys ... try it !

If you like to have some support send me an PM
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darthveda:
Use GPSMOD and then set the external COM port for BT receive as priority in GPSMOD setup, you have to put value as 0 for it to have high priority, that causes your BT device to be used than internal.

Another easy method would be to switch OFF phone function and leave bluetooth ON, that would naturally make your BT device to be chosen, but it's not recommended

Thank you Darthveda .

MOBAC

Vielen danke Homer-S,

Good hint! I have set the MOBAC up on my PC and downloaded some maps to my Navicomputer application (NMAP), but I cannot get the levels/tiles right, as I am getting only one level to actually show in Navicomputer. If I even once zoom in or out on the MOBAC map, I am thrown out of MOBAC back to the corresponding OSM map display of the area. I don't know if I am using Navicomputer wrongly or if I have downloaded MOBAC with wrong settings. I will keep testing with different settings... But if you have some good advice, please tell me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] obee51:
Additional info: I am trying to download Google Earth -maps of a certain area and convert to NMAP. In MOBAC I am using zoom levels 14 & 16, and "Tile Store Coverage"-setting is 16. As said, I am successfully getting one level of Google Earth of the required area, but I am not able to zoom in or out, before thrown out of the GE map.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Homer-S:
Hi,

have beta rev3 installed. Why, there is a bugfix for nmaps gone :)

I never tried just to dl 14 and 16 I have allways e.g. 15 to 18

I will try to make some map like you told me.

EDIT:

I tried 14 and 16 zoom level in one nmap file and it is working fine. It jumpes from 14 to 16 by clicking the zoom icon.

The "Tile Store Coverage"-setting is only for displaying which tiles of which level you already downloded and stored in the tiles save folder. It is not influencing the atlas creation

I will upload one of my profile files

For the Google Earth thing ... hm I only choose OSM
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] obee51:

How to generate / modify the nmap file to own needs

to Mafesana1 (post #1247): I don't know a ready-to-use solution for your request, but I think that my small tool "png2nmap" can help. It was previously made for another purpose, but if you have a little programming knowledge, it will be easy to re-use my python script to your needs, because you can recognize how to access the nmap database format, which seems to be a sqlite-database. Look at my post #1076 in this thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6977980&postcount=1076 ) or download the tool from home.arcor.de/u.dahms/png2nmap/png2nmap_v04.zip
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
Thank you very much.

I have no idea about programming.

I found a program ( GPS TrackMaker ) that allows the saving of data after calibrating an imported picture (.jpeg jpe, .jpg .bmp .wmf .emf .ico ) by providing a set of coordinates.

Once this is done we open a map from a provider an insert the previously saved data so as to merge both of them.

But the format (.nmap) that NaviComputer uses is not available.

I can save the work in .dbx .gbx .grm .gtm .gtz .gz .kml .log .map .plt .rte .txt

.upt .usr .wpt

Any idea?

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:

I need a converter from dbx .gbx .grm .gtm .gtz .gz .kml .log .map .plt .rte .txt

Thanks. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] louis0815:
Well, yes: read more about the topic of GPS logging and related file formats.

You'll soon realise that you are basically asking for a tool to create maps out of tracks and other stuff (.gz is a compressed file format BTW)

NaviComputer will be able to display tracks in .gpx format, there should be many converters available in the web.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
Really ? Well...

---as far as I am concerned, it is now nearly half a year searching for it non stop. And counting.

I first found NaviComputer to work offline.

Then I found Mobile Atlas Creator to download both Microsoft maps with hill shades and Google Terrain in the .nmap format.

Plenty of hard work already done as I have nothing but 25 GB in maps for me to navigate from 72 north to 5 south and from 20 west to 61 east.

All of them with zooms from 1 to 13 !!! Zoom 13 provides lines of same elevations. Truly outstanding.

And many cities (around 55) down ( or up) to 18, just for helping my shopping...jejejeje.

Doing so I discovered thar SD cards in FAT 32 do not allow archives in excess of 4 Gb minus 2 bits. But that is another story....I just wanted to warn you...

Then it came the need to merge my own maps into those, and found GPS TrackMaker. It saves the work in the extensions I said before...

The final step is to convert that to .nmap. I cannot find the way.

Any help ? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Thanks !!!! :):):):)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kfong:
.nmap is just a sqlite database file with a bunch of .jpg or .png.

Just open up any .nmap file with any sqlite managers and you'll see the structure of the database.

I'm having issues with navimapper. In the last 24 hours I've been trying to download 4 map areas in Europe with zoom level 17 and 18 only. Things went fine the first 4 hours. After that I kept getting Error messages and re-downloading. After 24 hours of online downloading roughly 1000-2000 tiles extra were downloaded, but nowhere near finished. The downloading kept going. What is causing these errors? What can I do to prevent errors, so that the download is complete?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] r.lepecha:
Just a quick saving idea, you can only have the track points minimum of every 5 seconds. Now when ive been out cycling recently ive noticed on some corners it will cut the corner off because between each point is less that 5 seconds. So the distance traveled is wrong.

Its not always a small amount cut off either, its some times a decent distance.

So maybe a setting to save it 1 second a trackpoint would be a good idea.

Other tracking softwares let you track to 1 second but there rubbish compared to this program.

Thanks

Is it possible to have more zoom level? 18 is the max zoom level in google map.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pistou:
For this I use GMapToGPX (http://www.elsewhere.org/journal/gmaptogpx/). You just calculate your route using Google Maps on your desktop, then convert it to a GPX file (XML) and load the GPX file onto your device. NaviComputer can use the GPX file to display the desired route on whatever maps you have for that area.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soma900:
I use GMapToGpx on a computer too!

Hi, Pistou,

In the exactly same way I copy the GPX file (with full route information) to the navicomputer and follow the displayed line while I am driving.

I think it would be very convenient to click on the screen of Navicompter, get the route from GMap server without download the map pics (rather huge data flows), and display the line of route on the screen.

It requires embedding some scripts into the Navicomputer program. I suggested the author with this idea. But my suggestions sink to the bottom untill you mentioned it again.

Thanks Pistou!
