Default Sat Nav systems on TP2

I know there's some mention of GPS lock problems etc... around the various threads, but I wanted to create one to pull together people's experience of the various Sat Nav programs that are available and how they run on the TP2.

I've got TT7 installed (used to run it on my TyTNII), and it all works fine, gets a lock quickly, but the lag is REALLY bad on it. It's constantly a good 20-30 metres behind where I am (used to be may 5 metres tops on the TyTNII).

What have people found with other programs such as CPL etc... Is the problem with TT7, or is it with the TP2?

Default iGo 8

Hi there,

I had iGo 8 working perfectly on the Kaiser/TYTN II but I cant even get it to start in the TP2, does anyone have any ideas?

I can load the software on but when I launch it just goes back to the home page :(

May I ask how you installed it?, did you just go to the 2577 folder and click Autorun?, or did you install from a disk?

Hi MegaHz,

Would you be able to tell me how you installed it please?, I need iGo 8 for work and it would be really useful to have it on this phone, it's awesome!

Thank you

I have run CPL6 (I don't have later versions). It runs in perfect WVGA with no issues at all ... inc GPS reception.

Default Co Pilot 7

They're selling Co Pilot 7 with the Touch Pro 2 on Handtec.co.uk so that must be compatible, if I cant get iGo 8 to work I may have the purchase this instead :(

Does anyone have any comparison of the two?, which do you guys prefer?

Ive got TTN7 Installed on mine and it works perfectly, no lag at all.

A very cool new feature is if you have a BT car kit you can set all system sounds etc to come through the car kit so TomTom now comes through my speakers in the car.

Excellent.

Whats it like in Google Maps if you zoom right in? Is it somewhere near where you actually are?

Mine is almost perfect, shockingly good.
