[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] holimon82:
I installed it, maked a web server, made it to install from local server, etc...

I don't know what is wrong with it, if it installs from original web address, it works.

If i install it from my local web server, with files copied from the web address, it installs but it does not see the maps(if i click on Enter address, Country list is empty).

For sounds, i only copied 2 files(en_usa and en_gbr) and changed filelist.xml to look only for those 2.

It may be this? Or it should work ok?

Thanks

By reading through the thread you'll see its not as simple as just loading on a "working USA" map but there are other hurdles that arent yet passed as far as getting any country not in the EU to work... Maybe a few countries outside the EU work... I may have misread that but I've been keeping an eye on this thread because I too want this for the USA.. but alas.... nothing yet.. Give it time. Maybe by the time they come out with their actual 3D view software will this finally work in the US

Add POI's

Hi

After using WM 6.5.x and TOMTOM I changed to WP7 and since TOMTOM does not support WP7 I've installed this SW and maps for Scandinavia and it works like a charm :)

The only thing missing from TOMTOM would be the possibility add POI's and notification for speed camera.

Is this possible and if so how?

An other annoying thing is that you have to enter destination every time you log in. Is there any possibility to change this so Navigon remembers previous destination in a for of menu?

Thanks in advance!

samsung device compatibility

skythunder83 I look into your tuto on ce4arab and it looks very good:D.But I want to know if it's possible to use your tip on non HTC device(my device is a samsung). The main problem seems to be the use of TouchXplorer to copy the file from:

\My Documents\My Ringtones\CustClear.provxml to a folder in Windows.

I don't really understand this step. Do you think there's a way to avoid using TouchXplorer?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] vargamic:
Here is how I got US maps to work on my Omnia 7:

First I downloaded all the files in filelist.xml from http://navigon.vo.llnwd.net/o25/u/eu/wm_select/, as well as filelist.xml itself

Next I created the needed folders (o25/u/eu/wm_select/, data, map, sound) on my webserver and put the corresponding files in them

After this I replaced the files Advisor.nfs, CountryProfiles.nfs, MapDrawer.nfs, Poicats.nfs, RealityView.nfs, and Satellite.nfs in the directory data with the ones I extracted out of the US/Canada Iphone ipa-file.

For test I put the map of DC into the directory map.

then I edited filelist.xml (right size of the nfs files, added DC map).

Next step is to edit the file NaviKernelConf.ini and set MapRegion to NA.

Now I edited the hosts file on my PC and put the IP-address of my webserver with navigon.vo.llnwd.net.

Then I connected my phone to the PC and deployed the Navigon.xap to my phone.

Now after the installation Navigon asks to download files (which it does from my webserver).

After this is done I got the DC map in Navigon.

Special thanks goes to Topogigi, for figuring out how to use your own webserver (in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11033849&postcount=149).

Only flaw seems to be, that I can't use both EU and US at the same time.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] organite:
Ok thanks a lot. Work like a charm on my omnia 7 (just test EU maps but follow the previous post for non-EU maps) thanks to vargamic and Topogigi.

To clarify what has been said in the previous post, I download the filelist.xml from //navigon.../wm_select/filelist.xml.

In addition, I edit the filelist.xml and the file hosts locate into windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts with the excellent notepad++, because you can edit and save the files keeping the right extension.

I use SimpleWebServer and I point a folder ABOVE o25/../wm_select like navigon/o25/../wm_select with the port 80.

Moreover,you can delete all maps you don't want to save space by editing the filelist.xml and delete useless maps of the map folder.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Aaron McCarthy:
Awesome... as soon as I get off my butt I'll attempt this... although I dont have a webserver so I'm going to have to figure out how to set up something like that! Good to know someone was able to make it work for the USA.... and in turn anywhere else outside the EU!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] georo:
How you get those filelist.xml because I click on your link http://navigon.vo.llnwd.net/o25/u/eu/wm_select/ and I get nothing or the link is removed?

Is a way to extract from the phone? I have the registry hack to see my storage but I don't know if is possible to extract the files on my PC.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] skythunder83:
Here is it.

The link above is for the app to get the approve that its okay.

You can make your local web by the simple web server and but the download.html from the link above in your local server with other files and folders

I was able to download NA maps etc to my HD7 with my own web server. The application just crushes every time when choose map view.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] mwedge:
Thanks for the instructions. Was able to load up the NA maps and get navigon to recognize them. I can see my position on the map and it follows as I move around. However after i select an address to navigate to it calculates the route and then justs sets at 100% and never shows anything after that.

Have you been successful in navigating a route?

Does anyone know the "Mapregion" Code for Australia? that need to be written in NaviKernelConf.ini

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] georo:
I manage to copy to my phone everything but still not see the maps please take a look at the attachments and see what I am missing I did exactly as you said but I end up with not seeing my maps.

In my phone I browse with TouchExplorer everything is on place.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] mwedge:
I see that you eliminated all the euro maps as well as the sounds other than english from filelist.xml. When I loaded the NA maps I did not remove any of the files, I just added to the list the new maps that I wanted to load. So I did a test and reloaded navigon after removed the euro maps and sounds from filelist.xml and I get the same behavior as you see, so I added all the files back in and reloaded again and I am able to see the maps. I would suggest putting back all the files you removed from filelist and give that a try.

Only problem I am having now is I can not navigate. I am able to select an address and after it calculates the route it just sets on a screen that says 100% and does nothing else, although i am able to see my position on the map just fine and it follows as i move.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Hades32:
If you look in filelist.xml you can see that there is data/RealityView.nfs included!

But there is no option to turn it on... But I'm sure it did activate itself for a split second...

Hi every one.

It's Arabic language but Google will help you.:D

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Seiya:
is there a way to change language?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] octaedro7:
I guess that all you guys editing the .xml file have non HTC phones.

I have all my Iphone 1,7 EU maps working without doing anything else than transfering them to the mentioned maps folder.

But don't get me wrong, the process was not what you could call smooth ;)

I'll just mention what I think are the keys to success:

Jailbreaked phone (sounds obvious but it's not, the phone was re-jailed a couple of times while I was doing the procedure and it took me a while to realize what was preventing me to transfer the files to the phone) In fact I recomend to check that is jbed just before attempting this.

Full Zune partnership and freshly synced. While the phone is connected to Zune launch Navigon. You have to let Navigon download all the 300~ mb of files in order to the mentioned folders to be created.

Close zune and any related process.

Extract the maps of the .ipa file with any uncompression tool, i.e. winrar, 7z, winzip, etc.

You have to had already edited your registry in order to be able to see the phone as a portable device in Explorer. Don't expect to see the folder structure of the phone, that's another story.

Drag and drop the maps to the device (which by the way will show twice). This is the step that took me most of the time (and patience)

Once the maps are on your phone you'll have to rename them (for some reason bigger maps got sort of dupplicated when renamed) and move them to the many times mentioned folder.

After that you just launch Navigon, go to enter address and you'll see all maps there.

I have an HTC branded Trophy and I was shocked by how fast the gps fixed the satelites, never seen before. Yeah, the app lacks of 3D, history, plannification add so on, but it seemed to me that it does it's job pretty fine (I agree that it's way better in IP though)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] maopost:
can you give us a tutorial of how to install this? i saw bunch files in attachment and get lost...
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] georo:
Everything OK. Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] emigrating:
More than likely - it started as a way to get it running with any maps for non-HTC phones.

Turns out it's a little more helpful than that though as editing the XML and hosting the files locally will also let you install ANY maps from ANY region on locked phones also (as long as you have the app installed of course - i.e. a T-Mobile DE branded device).

Not to mention it's easy enough for anyone to do - there's no fiddling around with registry entries or copying/renaming files on the device, just start Navigon and let it download whatever maps you specified.

Outdoor Navigaton...

Thank god, there's finally a navigation app that blows away the built-in piece o' crap that Microsoft tossed into their OS. I used Outdoor Navigation briefly while walking the streets of Montreal and it costs $4.99 and as I said earlier, it's way superior!

From looking at the dll seems like there are quite a few new features.

Done some more digging, and they now support all of Europe out of the box by the looks of it - you do have to purchase them, but still.

Attached the new filelist.xml files here. BA is the base list, 20 is the cheaper mappack and 40 seems to be the complete set.

Still haven't got it patched, but I'm thinking that's because I changed the GUID to allow side-by-side installation - didn't want my existing version removed as I'm likely to need it in a few minutes.

Yup, seems to have a lot of stuff not in the older release. I'm still no closer on getting it running without the TMODE simcard though. I even patched out the IMSI and IMEI checks completely (I'm simply returning known good values for the prop gets, but no dice).

I spoke to some Navigon folks though and it seems they may have this in the general marketplace sooner rather than later, in which case there's no point spending a lot of time and effort patching it.
