Re: Searching GPS software
Hi.
The reason you can't find them (or they're missing maps) is because they are PIRATED. (i.e, illegal/warez) Also, a friendly reminder: Discussing warez is prohibited on this site, and probably most other "reputable" ones. There *are* sites out there that encourage this type of talk, so if you're interested in that, Google (and a long evening of searching..) will lead you to what you're looking for. I looked into it long ago, but would rather pay programmers for their hard work, since if their apps are pirated, they'll simply stop updating or writing them, which is definitely not what I want to see happen. That and I like having a clean conscience. I'm not totally sure where you could find legal GPS software that runs entirely on your TP2 with no data connection now, especially since Windows Mobile is basically on life support, and has been all but abandoned by MS in favor of Windows Phone now.. Maybe someone else can give you some recommendations? Good luck! Last edited by SweetBearCub; 12-13-2010 at 03:28 AM. |

Re: Searching GPS software
Pharos GPS is an onboard program that works very well. I've been using it for quite some time.
Another good set of options are CoPilot live (you must use your data plan to download maps, but then they are on your storage card). and iGo8, which is fully loaded onto your storage card. Must say though, Pharos & CoPilot are my favorites. They both use a very read friendly map and are easily accessed. CoPilot is currently on SALE for under $10 (Give the Gift of Navigation this Christmas: ALK Technologies) |

Re: Searching GPS software
iGo8 is available for sale and there is even a customization file for the TP2 on their website.
I purchased CoPilot. I have since deleted all files and no longer use it. It simply wasn't accurate and there were no updates in the year in which I had it loaded on my device. Judging by the heavily discounted price, I would guess there have still been no updates.

I like iGo8 too, but when I buy a product, I shouldn't have to tweak things to make it work with my gear. One other bonus to the CoPilot software, if you switch to Android at a later date, you can just deactivate your WinMo version and install and activate on your new phone. (Just a bonus if you plan on using Android instead of WinPhone7) Last edited by protaganis; 12-14-2010 at 03:18 PM. |

I think that you may be incorrect about activating on an Android phone. According to their website the license is transferable only to the same platform. Winmo to winmo or android to android |

@ protaganis & daytona283
Looks like I may have to give CoPilot8 another chance. Now where did I put that registration info....? |
