take a look at igo8 i use this for months now and perfect working even with tmc - take a llok at google für some full wm versions... even here at the forum you should find some useful links i can't belive that you can't find anything for your needs - just a tipp @google type + download or +full download behind the name of the desired app...

Try TrekBuddy. It's not too accurate but you can calibrate it and make your own maps and waypoint. It's java by the way: http://www.trekbuddy.net/forum/

Cheers!

TomTom 7 seriously.

I started using TomTom since version 5 and I'm fond of it, but I should admit it's mainly matter of personal liking.

I also tried iGO8, pre-installed on a standalone navigator I bought, it's not so bad, but the user interface is more chaotic in my opinion.

As far as I know, iGO interface is more customizable then TT.

Talking about algorithms, specially for route recalculation, I think they are equivalent.

Igo8 is best...

Navigon

Navigon Navigator is the best! I used to use TomTom.
Navigon is very grafical and has lots of options.
On the highway you get a visual representation of the exit you should or should not take.
It even shows 3d buildings on the map if you are in a city.
Performance is also good!

Garmin

Garmin mobile xt r the best gps software for me...
since i used garmin,i never been lost on the road anymore...

I tried almost all GPS software. (TT, Garmin mobile 4 & 5, iGo8, ... etc).

Garmin is by far the WORST. Ugly, outdated and confused GUI. And it's slow as hell. But it's excellent with POI searching especially with Google integration. And it's flight schedule and traffic info over internet is handy too.

Tom Tom is not bad, but not good as well in every aspect.

iGo8 is the most powerfully and configurable. TTS (very rare on WM), TMC (even rare), good looking (with customize skin) and smooth. The only problem is require a lot of memory and takes longer to start (30sec - 1min)

TomTom 7 seriously.

what he said, some of the POI's have been a little off, and the recalculating could be a little better, but it is great overall
search google for it, i used words like TT7 and xperia, and so forth...works great

I have used Garmin, Navigon, Igo, TomTom and Sygic.

Garmin was't really userfriendly in my opinion and I stopped testing it very quickly.

Igo is really nice navigation program, It is customizable, it has tmc, roadassistance. Programs starts not fast but when it starts it works fluently. There were two reasons I stopped using Igo: 1. Speech is really a chaos. Its not accurate, it replays a lot and the beep tone before the speech is really annoying. 2. GPS wasnt very accurate.

Sygic is almost like TomTom, but sometimes the calculating of the roads wasnt really logical for me, but its really nice alternative.

Navigon is the most extencive navigation program for PDA. It has visual road assistance for example. But it doesnt work very properly yet. I cant search for POI´s and its really heavy program. Speech is very good, pitty that it doesnt have querty keyboard.

I have used TomTom for a long time and looked every time to another, because it doest have any extras (it doesnt have road line assistance for example), but because its light, stable, userfriendly and everything works like it has to, I always went back to TomTom and now it is the only navigation program I use.
