GPS navigation software
 

I'm looking into getting a portable GPS and stumbled upon this.
Our phone isn't listed, but quite a few similar ones are. Will this work with a WM6 Apache? If so, do I have to purchase an additional antenna or anything?

Nope. Two reasons.
First, it looks like it comes on a regular SD card, and second, the 6700 isn't truly "GPS enabled".

Well, I'll take it that #2 is correct and that kills that idea.
Thanks. I didn't know if all the GPS stuff might have become available with the WM6 ROMs.

It does come on a miniSD card and with adaptors for SD.
[Not like it would be that difficult to transfer the files onto a miniSD if it was a regular SD card...]

Actually, a lot of these "pre-loaded" cards have copy protection. I have some Navteq maps for my sailboat that are on a CF card that can't be copied without trashing everything.

TONY..YOUR AN IDIOT.... WHY...WOULD YOU TELL SOMEONE THIS...YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT...

1. THE 6700 HAS A MILITARY GRADE GPS CHIP IN IT... AND WHEN YOU ADD HELMIS ROM.. AND THEN GO INTO SETTINGS.. YOU WILL FIND THAT THE GPS ICON APPEARS... YOU CAN ENABLE THIS ICON WITH A REGISTRY HACK IN WM5 AND EVEN WIN CE ... WHAT THIS DOES IS GIVE YOU ACCESS TO THE CONFIGURATION OF PORTS THAT YOUR GPS CHIP HAS AVAILABLE ... WITH IT DISABLED FROM THE CARRIER YOUR GPS CHIP USES ONE PORT TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE CARRERS SYSTEM... WITH THE REGISTRY HACK DONE ..AND THE ICON APPEARING...IT ALLOWS MULTIPLE I/O PORTS TO BE USED ON THE GPS CHIP... SO THAT THE GPS CAN DO MULTIPLE
PROGRAM SUPPORTS AT THE SAME TIME...

SO YOU WERE A DOPE ON THAT ONE TONY...


2. IF YOU READ THE ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE
Garmin Mobileâ„¢ XT .....EINSTEIN...ER..TONY...YOU WILL SEE THAT IT COMES WITH 2 CARDS!!!!! 2 TONY... A MINI SD..AND REGULAR SD.... SO IT WILL FIT THE 6700.... IN FACT..IVE ALREADY SENT OFF A PURCHASE FOR IT... AND WHEN I GET IT.. AND GET IT CONFIGURED TO THE 6700 AND IT S UP AND WORKING... ILL BE SURE TO DROP IN HERE AND GIVE YOU ANOTHER BLACK EYE..


IM SORRY... BUT I JUST DONT SUFFER TECHNOLOGICAL IDIOTS VERY WELL.... AND THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AND IDIOT AND THE MERELY UNINFORMED OR TECHNICALLY UN SAVY... ONE IS PERFECTLY OK TO BE... THE OTHER IMAGINES THEMSELF TO BE SOMETHING THEIR NOT...

HOW ABOUT YOU STICK TO LEGGOS AND AA BATTERIES TONY.... LEAVE THE TECHNICAL STUFF TO US THAT CAN ..... I MEAN MAN... IT TOLD YOU RIGHT ON THE PAGE THE GENT WHO ASKED..THAT IT CAME WITH A MINI SD CARD.... AND YOU TOLD HIM IT DIDNT... WHAT A DORK...

NOW..FOR ACCESSING THE PORT CONFIGS FOR THE GPS CHIP...THERE IS A FREE PROGRAM THAT DOES THAT...IVE DOWNLOADED IT ONCE BEFORE...SO WHEN I GET THE HARDWARE...IF THEIR SOFTWARE OR FIRMWARE DOESNT SOLVE THE INSTALL TO THE INTERNAL GPS CHIP.. ILL FIGURE OUT THE PORT CONFIG AND POST IT HERE SO THAT ALL CAN USE IT... ITS REALLY A PRETTY SIMPLE OPERATION TO DO WITH THE CONFIG PROGRAM THATS AVAIL... IN FACT..IT WOULD BE AN OUTSTANDING ADDITION TO THE KITCHEN.... BUT IM NOT A KITCHEN PERSON... SO ILL LEAVE THAT TO OTHERS WHO KNOW HOW.... ADIOS FOR NOW...BACK WHEN ITS WORKING...

Moderators,

Is this type of crap from 'family dog' allowed on this forum??

What a tool....

whoa, my eyes hurt.

If this is true, which I swear after reading the debates going around months ago it was gen. consensus it wasn't, then why aren't all the 6700 gods using this already? This would eliminate the need for the 200+ dollar "toy" I just bought.

Do you have something that supports this finding? A manufacture? Any specs? Chip architecture type?

I would love to see some of this.

Dog, you need to go back and read yourself as it clearly sayd it comes with an MicroSD and convertors. To save you the time I C&P the info from the page.

Simply plug the microSD card (with miniSD and standard SD card converters) into your compatible phone with built-in GPS and go.

What's in the Box:
microSD data card preloaded with:
City Navigator® NT street maps and
Garmin Mobile XT navigation software
miniSD and SD adapters
Quick start manuals

Keep in mind that everyone is here to learn, not be badgered and assaulted. I am MORE than certain you do not know everything there is to know about the 6700 and you should not portray yourself to be more knowledgable than the next. I am certain I know some things you dont and you likely may know a few tricks that I do not.

Again, it doesnt come with a Mini but a Micro. You need to go back and fully read everything before you start trying to unload some of your half-assed self aquired knowledge bro.

You dont even have to go that far with port configs. I recently posted a mutli-oage thread with a huge compilation of reg edits which include two ways to bring the GPS icon you speak of. Go to Ebay and get you a Holux 240 and some iGuidance GPS software and you can set it all up in just a few minutes.

TomTom Copilot Live info
 

TomTom 6 works great on my phone and has caused no problems. The other software I tried is Copilot Live although it works it crashes my phone and reboots are often required due to the product. I would advise staying away from Copilot Live.

The only thing I miss in TomTom is text to speech. It tells you where to turn but not the name of the road you must look at the display for that info.

I hope this helped

Joe

Joe,

What are you using for a gps receiver?

Thanks,
