I use tt6 and was looking for a backup and since iGuidance call the street names I picked this one...
Testing iGuidance on my vx6800 has been bad...first:
1. The GPS does not move properly or track as I drive. It just sits there then eventually it will move
2. Keep in mind #1...when I purposely miss a turn it takes it forever to recalculate. I can be a 1/4 or 1/2 mile down the road before the screen moves or do anything as in #1
This is iGuidance v4 and I am on rom 3.12 radio 3.39. Keep in mind that tt6 works like a charm fast, accurate as I drive, recalculates instantly...for iGuidance I do have the maps & app running on my sd card just like tt6..
so what gives with this app..?
I'm having the same problem. Subscribing to this thread for further feedback.
Sorry to here that...hoping others who use it have found a tweak fix...
Out of curiosity, do you use GPSGate and the instructions here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=248345&postcount=282
GPS Gate is, definately, the solution. I have been using it since the GPS was enabled in March with no problems. www.gpsgate.com

I will read this but can you two give a layout on how you use this and how it works for you? This thread is on iGuidance so my initial assumption is the info you posted will help us with iGuidance and overcome it's lack of not tracking with the car....???
Pls advise...
thx
I've only played with Iguidance on a friend's Mogul (I'm a bit more tech savvy so I often help him out). All I can say is we were unable to get it to work properly for weeks....until we found the above information. Prior to GPSGate the maps would not load (hang) or routing would be extremely slow. Now it is snappy with no lags...no lost signal...etc.. The steps are rather clear in the above link.

I can't get that link to work. Can someone give me the low down on how to use GPSGate to fix this? I'd like to see if IGuidance can work for me. I've played with iGO a bit and while it looks really nice, it also just about locks up me device in terms of all the memory used. iGuiance uses a LOT less memory so I can actually use some other stuff with it.
As I understand it, GPSGate works as an intermediary driver between IGuidance and the Windows Mobile GPS driver, by emulating the output of the GPS onto another port (user selectable), which IGuidance reads without a problem (and updates in realtime, no lag). It fixed the problem for me. More info can be found in the GPS internal FAQ. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363431
The Astro launcher & script written by TalynOne is very good for launching GPS Gate, Astro launcher and IGuidance all at the same time.
Just start GPSGate when you start Iguidance. Make sure your ports are setup correct and it will just work.
Good luck.
Have any of you tried iGo 8? It's fantastic, and by far the BEST interface of any of the GPS progs out there.

Yes, I have, and I do like the appearance far more than iGuidance. However, iGO chews up HUGE amounts of RAM. iGuidance runs much leaner, meaning I can have more going on without locking up my device.
I still have to completely test iGuidance, but it appears to do what I need it to do, a little less pretty, but I can live with that if it works better for me.
Ok, I'll chime in but not sure how much this will help...
I'm running the stock Verizon 6.1 ROM with Valhalla's MR1 GPS fix and Franson's GPS Gate. What I have to do is make sure that GPS is open under WM GPS (allowing me to use the built-in GPS chipset in conjuction with Valhalla's program). Once the GPS Icon is green (under 7 seconds) then I can launch IGuidance and everything works fine.
I noticed you mentioned that you are using 4.0 - the version I have is 4.0.2 which is supposed to fix some bugs that 4.0 had.

Has anybody have solution for GPS on realvga.
I know that Tomtom is working on realvga. iGo doesn't work on realvga. Have anybody try another GPS software that work with realvga?
CoPilot works fine
TeleNav works fine in 128dpi except it doesn't overwrite a small section at the bottom of the screen, where the previous window shows through. This is just a minor display artifact and everything works well.
iGuidance, which I used to use, has issues in the setup menus as 128dpi. I found many things to be drawn indirectly, but once you have your destination entered, the maps look fine and are usable. However, I found the interface issues very distracting and I gave it up at least for now.
While TeleNav isn't quite as responsive to updating your position and requires a live data connection, I found it had better search abilities and better voice announcements. Plus it seems to keep improving. So I'm going with TeleNav for now.
Hi
I've tried the following and they all work nicely - cannot really decide although they all have something that make them unique and nice
TomTom 6.x 8/10 Looks exactly like TomTom Navigator
Garmin Mobile XT 8/10 Wish I hadn't bought that Nuvi ...
Google Maps 8/10 Free and Aerial Photos
Navigon 8/10 Best looking interface
currently I havent made up my mind yet they all are very good

CoPilot 7 is better than any of them
Google Maps isn't full route planner / guidance - I use it quite a lot but not in the car - very good though.

$200 is pretty high! Here are a few questions:
1. It comes on a microSD. Can files just be transferred to a miniSD that has larger capacity? Otherwise, this eats up a slot.
2. Does the "download central" include updated maps? Or what is the policy on getting updates? I know with iGuidance I had to repay each year for new maps, which was kinda irritating.
Thanks!
In the UK you can just by it with UK maps so it's cheaper. I believe in the US you can only buy it with the whole of the US maps which is why it is more expensive (it is if you buy the whole of Europe maps)
If you want updated maps I believe you have to pay for them but how often do you need to update them?

TOMTOM 7 good but it is a little slow when turning / roundabout
IGO8 graphics is very good but the arrow seems be left behind the real position.... i see that for adding POI i need to change the layout and i dont know how to find a 640x480 layout....
The ROM is the standard HTC WM6

I have used both these software and do not experience the problems that you described. However, I run them off the microdrive rather than storage card.
Just like me.
It's better to have them at the MicroDrive ( including the maps ).
If you use SKTools you can see that the read/write values are higher at the MicroDrive than the miniSD.

well i use tomtom7 but i cooked it into my rom and it definitely made it a little faster
I found Telenav to give the best directions and POIs. you have to have a data connection, but better than TomTom and iGuidance...
But CP7 is best
it's tomtom for me, installed in the microdrive complete with the maps. and coupled with eaglesteve's previous input on the best gps settings. haven't had any issues for the past 3 months.
cheers
I rank these software in this order
Best on top:
TT7
IGO 2006
IGO8
TT6
CP7
I've tested TT6-TT7, IGO8
TT7 is the best IMHO. I use navigation SW mainly to have speed traps alert and with IGO isn't easy to add speed traps ad POI.
I installed it on SD, may be I lose some speed but I save a lot of power

Besides superior overspeeding warning features, it also allow user to update road and share it with others.
I installed on MD. No concern with power because in the car, I always with my device charged.
Unlike eaglesteve and sergiopi, I use navigation software mainly for navigation, speedcameras are a bonus (and free with CP)
For navigation, especially contact integration, CP makes TT look primative IMHO

Disagree, sorry.
Speed camera is not speed warning. They are different.
1) In TT7, the legal speed limit of the road is kept, and if you travel above that speed, you get warning.
2) Speed camera, in another thing. In TT, there are the fixed speed camera and mobile speed camera. I think the mobile location speed camera is subscription base, and is optional. In CP7, there is only fixed location speed camera.
3) Finally, there is the red light camera, which warns you not to dash the red light at traffic junction.
4) TT7 also warns if we are near a school zone. In Australia, school zone's maximum, speed is 40 km/h at selected time only.
Integration with contact is so basic that we don't mention it. It's nothing to shout about. It's just taken for granted. iGO has it. Tom Tom has it. All contact database appears on the navigation software. If you make changes to the contact database, the navigation get the udpated address also.
In TT, if you choose "Navigate To" in the main menu, there is an item called "Contact", with exactly the icon as our Contact Application. Choosing that will bring up only your contact with addresses. The contact list is sorted in alphabetical order to faciliate locating them. Clicking on it will reveal the detail address. You can also use the FIND button to find the contact more quickly if your list is long. What else would we want that TT7 is not having in this regards?
One of the features of TT7 is to provide an onscreen button. If I see a speed camera that is not in the database, I can press that button while my car is at that coordinate. When the trip is over, I can go back and put in the details of the change I want to make. This can be used to correct the map, put in new POI, etc without affecting your driving. You do the actual update after the trip.
There are so many other features which are only seen in TT7. I was once a die hard iGO user ( and before that a die hard Copilot user), but now I'm completely won over to TT7. I'm not associated with TT in anyway, just like I was'tn associated with iGO or Copilot. I share what I think is the best to whomever want the best. Today, my top choice is TT7. Tommorrow? Who knows? May be Copilot 8. I have no blind allegiance to any software. If it is the best, it is my choice. I'm willing to be convinced that there are better software than TT7 out there now.
Speedcameras are not an issue for me, I have only ever been caught for speeding once (luckily I'd just slowed down so I was only doing 94MPH) and that was by a video camera in a police car - TomTom would not have alerted me to that.
The contacts in tomTom6 (I must admit I have not seen 7) is so clunmsy and slow I would have reached my destination before finding them - CP7 just uses outlook contacts and IMHO is just a lot better and I use it most of the time.
The interface of CP7, especially on the Athena is, again IMHO, a lot more user friendly than TT and allowing others to track me is useful so my g/f can see where I am.
I think we want different things from navigation software - i wouldn't rate TT at all and love CP - for you it's the other way round.
Guess it's lucky for the makers that we're not all the same!

I agree with you on this, I also installed on SD to save power. I actually delete my microdirve and never reformatted it. It was not reliable so I had no reason to have available for anything.

hehe - I hope I am too but reviews like this http://www.coolsmartphone.com/article768.html and others I've seen put me off, although I've not tried it myself.
Just to declare what some people might think a conflict of interest:
I bought CoPilot when it first came out on the SmartPhone - well, 1 month after it did, because someone bought it then got a company car with built in Sat nav so I got it cheap (another thing CP does well is transfer between devices). That was V5, I then upgraded to V6 and I think, all things being equal I would have prefered TT6 for my purposes.
I then beta tested CP7 so disn't pay for it but if I had the choice of which to buy TT6 or CP7 it would definatly be CP7. I have not seen TT7 but don't believe it is that much different from TT6?
Lots of people in the UK like iGo8 but Garmin XT and Route 66 (again popular in the US) are not that popular.
In the US you have to buy the maps of the whole US for CP7 which does make it wuite expensive and hence not as popoular as some cheaper options and although speedcameras are improved in CP7 it is one area TT still beats it but, as I've said, that is not the most important feature for me.
Different people want different things and the availability of maps and other s/ware in your area will all affect your decision, but for me CO7 wins hands down.
So far....
I have the VZ 6800 using Valhallas gps cab and for google maps it works GREAT, knows right where i am moves with me ect. However when i fire up tomtom or visualgps it cant seem to pinpoint my location. in fact the standard divation in visual is usualy in the millions of feet. any ideas whats causing this? Both programs SEE the gps and satalites fine but cant pinpoint me. Thanks

Your right. The thread that covers the application explains the fix. Its becuase those apps are access the comport still instead of the Windows Mobile daemon(?) for GPS. You need to install a third party app that will grab the de-obfuscated data and redirect it to a soft comport that these apps will use. The program that was recommend was called Franson GPS gate. It will take the data and reroutes it to another "Com port"
All of the details are in the Adapter thread. Check it out around page 18 or so...
I got it working great for me but its just too much crap to get GPS when you can flash to a custom ROM and not have to worry about two third party apps.
Eitherway, good luck.
Custom roms are great, i've used them almost since I bought the 6800.If I want verizon to upgrade me to a better phone, I need to log complaints against the stock rom. using these little tricks keeps the phone serviceable at any given time while affording me a semi "custom" rom feel that I have grown accustomed to.
any sugestions
i cant get the gps to wirk in tomtom still even using gps gate so could anyone recomend a good rom i would love to keep all the functions of the stock wm6.1 but have gps features as well.

What happens?
Even using gps gate the gps doesnt lock on my position. i get 5 to 8 satalites but then cant pinpoint where i am. There is a huge standared diviation when i look up my location upward of 100000 feet. google maps uses the same gps and port but knows exactly where i am.
I found the navigon mobile software to work quite well. Acquire it as you see fit. Mostly works with European maps but US are available. Im using Mobile Navigator 6.XX. cant remember. Got screwed by verizon and bought iPhone. but i will still offer advice. After contract is up if verizon can shape up i can get an android capable phone if they offer it.
Hey all,
I routinely use my Titan browser to look up the address of a business, then put that address in a GPS Navigator program to navigate to that address. I was wondering what you all think is the be all/end all program to complete this task. I've been using iGo 8 as it's got by far the best interface and maps, though you can't look up a business while in the program. I've also used Google Maps which does a great job of looking up the business address, but a crap job of navigating you to it. Finally, I've used Yahoo Go! a little bit, which is ok, but not the best. I welcome all your opinions...
Mapquest Navigator does a good job for me after using SprintNav for a long time for free....... Lots of feature and 50 bucks a year is alright.
i use tom tom 7 with maps usa & canada works great locks in 5 seconds in the basemant also names and addreses i am gettin from live search and save them in contacts list so its easy to navigate in tom tom
Not sure if its the best, but I've been very happy with iGuidance.
Once I got gpsGate and aGPS it has been flawless.

My guess is they say that because Verizon locks down the gps so you can only use it with VZ Navigator, but if you're on this site, I'm sure you have enabled it on your XV6800, so I would still give it a try.
Microsoft Live Search.
It does a great job at searching and the routing isn't bad either. It only has a 'ding' as you approach a turn, no voice navigation.
I have TomTom and hate it. IMHO, Live Search is very good compared to TT.
I'm a Garmin XT user my self. I've loaded City guide and Topo maps on it so if I'm in the city or out in the woods I've got it covered. It uses the same maps and charts that have been produced for Garmins other devices. I haven't looked in to it yet but the Ocean navigational charts should be able to load on there also.
Due to my rural location data is not reliable. When hiking hundreds of miles from the nearest tower its not even an after thought. So i prefer to have all of the map data located on my 8gb HCSD. The entire Island of Newfoundland is ~20 mb for each map.
The Dir. on the device is 4.8 mb (for V5) the rest is on the card.
The City guide maps are the most detailed i have seen yet. Many of the smaller roads in my area were not on Tom Tom.
The down side is that it costs quite a bit. I have mapsource software from other devices so it wasn't that much for me. I have seen reference to a "re-pack" from other discussions, located on the torrent sites but that's at your own risk.
Chris
Live search and Google maps.......best free apps....I prefer Livesearch......
Sprint Navigation is also great for a free app....
TT7 is my software of choice. i dont know about anyone else, but i kinda like variety in my GPS, so i pretty much have all of them and pick and choose based on what im feelin and whichever one i press first.
I've tried a number of programs:
iGO: Beautiful maps, great interface, good voice prompts, very accurate... but it's a HUGE memory hog. You can't do anything else when running it. I've even had my phone fail because of lack of memory. Not acceptable if I can't make and receive calls.
iGuidance: Very low memory usage. Accurate. Buttons are small, hard to use when in the car. Graphics are not great looking. I had some quirks with the display when switching between Landscape and Portrait modes.
TomTom: Graphics are better than iGuidance, not as good as iGo. Buttons are large and easy to use in the car. Accurate. Memory usage is low. I was able to plot and follow a 2.5 hour trip and play my music with Media Player without an hitch in TomTom or the music.
All things considered, I'd love to use iGo, but the huge amount of memory usage makes it a not go for the Titan's wimpy 64megs. TomTom uses a lot less memory and is only a small step down from iGo's graphics.
Garmin Mobile XT with the newest patch/ver

Another vote here... Garmin Mobile XT seems to integrate the best of the online services (gas prices, traffic, etc) with the ability to be used as a true standalone GPS (not reliant on a data connection). I travel a few places where I lose my data connection (no phone service at all) and Garmin doesn't even blink, with all the map info stored on the microSD card.
IGo 8
IGO 8 is by far the smoothest, sexiest and quickest recalculating map and trust me I have used them all.
Cons: You must disable everything running in the background before using. I have never had a problem with receiving calls. I leave my bluetooth headset hooked up while navigating so my device can remain in holster. Just do a soft reset before you run the program run oxios hibernate and if you have about 25 megs free initially I drove 2600 miles with it recaluculating and just sitting still while I went in no problems.
Garmin XT is my second choice because I find it easy to use and very dependable.
Live Search and Google Maps require internet connection and were useless in the smokey mountains, except to prime agps.
Garmin XT
I have Garmin XT and it's great. I also use Google maps from time to time, it's better if you want to check out an area you kind of know real fast and also it has the sat maps which can be nice sometimes. But for actual naviagation Garmin blows Google away. Memory is sometimes an issue but with the latest DCD 3.2.6 it's less and less of a prob.
I've installed this app like an alternative to gpsgate, but it's not working: no detection of tosh gps receiver/signal.
Any help is highly appreciated...
Thanks!
I tried GpsPlex as well and could not get it to work with my TG01.

2.start/gpsplex/gps/seleccionar gps/gps local/leave V:4800/Puerto serie:com4:No instalado/Acceptar/ok(in the top right corner) resulting a window with:
-bottom left corner com4 to comx(remember comx for your future settings in navig softw);
-top left corner gps coordinates;
-center a few satelites;
3.tap GPS(bottom left corner)/Ocultar(minimise) gpsplex;
4.start navig softw
5. go gps software settings (if necesary) and put port comx,baud 4800(or else, seems to be irrelevant for some gps softwares:I'm not 100% sure).
I recommend gpsplex (like a good alternative to gpsgate) when needed for 2 reasons:
- it's FREEE
- low resources consumer.
Enjoy!
P.S. For further questions DO NOT HESITATE to contact me...
what's the point of using this app instead of gpsgate? what's the point of using gpsgate, and not directly a navigation software?
Take a guess...
I'm using minimum 3 different gps apps, some of them are not ''kissing'' each other(not compatible) regarding gps port sharing(I'm not sure this is correct expression): handling connecting of all these could be pretty messy without it(gpsgate/gpsplex/whatever)...
You're welcome!

I use GPS Mod Driver 2.60 in my tg01. And tomtom works whit internal gps really well.
GPSplex
I have two navigation programs on my Windows XP PC. This device has an internal GPS receiver. Do I need something like GPSplex or GPSgate to use the receiver for both programs? I will not be running both at the same time. I am asking because Garmin Mobile PC detects the receiver but iGO8 doesn't.

IMO you have to use gpsplex/gpsgate 'cause, as far as I know, there are compatibility problems between mentioned gps apps while sharing same gps port.
