GPS software for 710

[arizah]

Hi,

Has anybody found some handy GPS software for 710? Tom tom works fine, but I need something for off-road. I tried OZI-explorer and it said my device is incompatible. Is there any other options?

Thanks,
Aris.

The best one is Garmin Mobile XT for Windows Mobile Ver. 4.10.40w, here is the link (http://www8.garmin.com/support/collection.jsp?product=010-00579-00).
You can find almost for every country detailed garmin maps with streets in towns and house numbers.

You can also instal from the same link "Garmin Mobile XT Free Basemap" and "Garmin Mobile XT Support Files" (languages and voices).
I've installed it with card reader and it works fine.

I use Gramin Mobile XT.
I bought a garmin module GPS 10 Deluxe. I paid 59 euros include high detail map of europe. Work great. Installed also POI of speedcameras and autovelox. work great.

i use tom tom and route 66 ... but i think garmin is the best. very detailed maps.

I have run Tomtom 5.2 for a long time (2 years) and had no problems with it.

Recently I had a look for something more up to date, I tried Route 66 which ran ok, and had free traffic updates, but it did use up all the free memory on my phone and ocasionally crashed.

Then I tried Garmin XT, this seems to run ok, and also has free trafic updates. I also like the way it beeps if I go over the speed limit. The auto zoom out on the map is good as it shows a nice overview of the route.

So far Garmin XT seems to beat Tomtom (5.2) with speed alerts and the free trafic information.

Not tried Tomtom 6 - which is intended for a touch screen, but can work with fake cursor apparently.

One problem I have with Garmin XT is that I am unable to update the maps/poi's on the card with activesync - the Garmin poi update program crashes with an error relating to a PPC class its trying to call - I guess its because its a smartphone. But I can update the SD card by connecting it to a card reader on my PC.

For off road I use GpsVP free from http://gpsvp.garminmapsearch.com/ which uses a variety of maps and also downloads from google and other map sources.

Before that I used (and still use) GPSdash2 from http://wimobi.com/gpsdash/overview.sph2.php?pid=sph2 but its not free and I have not seen an update fro ages. unlike gpsvp which is much newer and being updated all the time with new features.

hi. i just started a new threat about route 66. think i wasnt allowed to do that? but its a whole app on its own, so maybe i am?

anyway, just want to know if route 66 mobile 7 is suposed to work on vox? i installed it but after starting the app the program terminates itself after a few seconds of displaying "gps" with the moving sircles around it. it seems that everyone advises to use garmin instead? problem is finding maps tho.. maybe ill check it out. internet is so slow in s.a. i use my vox as a dial up edge modem. so it takes quite alot of time to look for something on the net as im really inexperienced
