Best Sat Nav software?

[hollandg]

What does everyone think is the best Sat Nav software to use with the Trin? I'm a fan of Navigon Mobile Navigator, I've tried a few others but I can't decide which one to keep for sure...

[vanydotk]

I personally like Tomtom.. as everybody will tell you. I used iGuidance a bit but it kind of lagged and I like Tomtom's interface better. I still want to try Navigon but they don't have a trial on their website so meh.

I've tried Iguidance 2&3 and tomtom 6 on p3600 with the axl wm6 rom.

I only like Iguidance version 2 though as version 3 has significant voice lags. I believe it is the recordings that are messed up and might be able to swap over the audio files from version 2 to version 3 install folders.

TOMTOM 6 works great once it has loaded which takes about 3-4 minutes for me. I need it to load faster to be useable. I think the POI database on tomtom is better though i've not done any comparisons.

think am getting iguidance 4

Hi,

I haved use the TomTom 6 for a while, but Igo 2006 have a best interface. Not to say also that TomTom need the atifix software for not to freeze. You should try Igo 2006 and you will see that you do not need anything else.

Tomtom all the way for me......really simple to you and works for what I want. (I have only tried TT and CoPilot though)

[safer than safe]

No1. MioMap ( iGo)
Very close No2. TomTom.

You can not go wrong with these two. Stay well away from Navigon.
I could not coment on any others since I have not tried them.

I have tested Mio 3.2 and TT 6 on my Trinity and both work seamlesly.

You can have both of these installed and they will work happily alongside each other.

[BlackBeauty]

i've used google maps, smart2go, garmin cue and tomtom6 - i much prefer the usability of tomtom6 far ahead of the others.

Can anyone help me out with the Orange GPS software. I have downloaded it and shows the gps as not active, any suggestions please.

I have called orange but they are hopeless.

cheers

Where are the maps voor iGo 4?

[NeilM]

1st thing to check is that you have a GPS enabled ROM. All Orange SPV M700's are supposed to, but it seems a few slipped through the net. Also, if you have 'unlocked' the device, your radio ROM may have been replaced by an old version.

Go to Start/Settings/System/Device Information and look at the entry for Radio ROM. If it ends in **.11 you are OK; if not you will need to update the Radio ROM.

Have you got the Orange Navigation (Webraska) configured to COM9 and 57600 Baud? These are the default settings for the M700.

TOMTOM 6 works great once it has loaded which takes about 3-4 minutes for me. I need it to load faster to be useable. I think the POI database on tomtom is better though i've not done any comparisons.

3-4 Minutes? Mine loads in 10 seconds and I've never had it freeze or crash.
How many POI's do you have selected? That apparently can slow it down a bit.

tomtom 6 all the way for me :)

loads fast....he may mean to find sats..mine takes about 30 seconds to find the sats :)

i search maps for tomtom of ireland.
But i not found


only basic map for ireland...north and south :(

only basic map for ireland...north and south :(

Ireland is included in the maps of western europe, or if you prefer just the maps of UK and IE. So it is present.

[damac]

I've used igo 2006 and tomtom 6 for quite a while. While I like Igo much more than tomtom, the traffic system on tomtom is cool and to get traffic on Igo you need TMC Antenna. The only GPS units I found that have those cost the earth, so I am sticking with tomtom. And of course, because tomtom is soooo common, you find lots of people trying to customise it and as a consequence, you get thousands of poi's, many many cool voices... etc.

But to put things in perspective, if I had traffic on Igo, I would switch without a second thought. Hope this helps.

tank's fiends but for the tomtom navigator 6 this maps are good?

Whats the difference between MioMap and iGO?

MioMap is a rebranded version of iGO. Same software underneath, just the interface is different.

I use both iGo and TomTom.

iGo wins because of the skins. Very customizable.

tomtom is easy to use, not 2 badly priced

[Thorwaler]

Hy...what are your settings in the settingpoint system-external gps?
because miomap doesn`t find my gps receiver....
but i have the radio rom updated....??
thanks...

tomtom 4 me everytime :p

[omaga]

Tomtom is the best, because it so easy to use. I have tried MioMap too and its good for that reason that u have the map of only one country (your own) In TT you must have a hole area map, for example Scandinavian map, and that take up more space in your memorycard. so thats a minus for TT, the only one;)
