Canadian Navigation Options

[phreaq]

hi, I have a Telus HTC Diamond, and I am looking for navigation options for use in Canada (and the US).

Google Maps - I currently have/use Google Maps, but it does not update when you deviate from the route.

Live Search - appears to not work in Canada.

tomtom/copilot - I cannot confirm they work with the diamond in Canada. I know you can get Europe maps, but I need Canadian

garmin xt - seems like my only option.

I know telus has a navigation system, but I prefer a one time cost, as opposed to monthly fees

any advice is appreciated

Have you looked into http://www.amazegps.com/ It is a free nav program and works great for me.

Tomtom7 and iGo 8 (mionav) both work perfectly on this device and have Canadian Maps. (I'm in Alberta)

iGo 8 can be purchased along with maps, Tomtom7 is warez only..

ditto. I use TomTom7 with the north american maps that include Canada. I just wish I could load Canada or Ontario only so the maps didn't eat 2GB of my internal memory.

hey folks,

thanks for the replies.

I just download amazegps, and it looks impressive.

I tried finding the tomtom and igo 8 maps for canada, but can't seem to find them.

TomTom offers a Canada & Alaska map. Its only about 400-500mb size, better than getting the North America map thats over 1.5gb.

TomTom.com has the map for sale at $59.99

Here is the link: http://www.tomtom.com/products/maps/...guage=4&P=5478#

Actually it's only 148mb. That would free up some space!

TomTom 6 maps for Can/US are 2GB.
TomTom 7 maps for Can/US are 800MB...

Those are different than the North America map.

North America map is 1.8gb in size because it offers more detailed roads, 5 million more POI's and Hawaii & Puerto Rico.

US/Canada maps that are 800mbs are only for the lower 48 and Canada and have less POI's

I suggest TomTom 7
