Re: Turning old phone to gps device
Ok so I have tested both tom tom navigator 7 and Garmin XT with a north america map. Garmin wins my vote and will be the software I will use in my final version also with garmin I can only load the regions I need. The whole IL WI IA MO IN maps only took a few hundred meg on my card compared to the almost 2 gig for my tom tom install. Does anyone have a link to the Ryan Moguls carrier-less ROMs? I dont care about coming bare boned I have the quickgps cab file.

Re: Turning old phone to gps device
Great idea. I have so many phones sitting around too...now wideawake and I will both have navigation in our cars. We never thought of this! Thanks.

Re: Turning old phone to gps device
Just in case you still want to try them, here's RyanMogul's Light ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496982 He's been updating them pretty regularly lately, so keep an eye on that thread for changes. The closest to DCD will be Zero G. If I recall correctly, by default it boots with over 28 MB free program memory. One thing to consider if you want max available memory is to disable the camera. I'm pretty sure all his roms include nueKernel which allows that, freeing up around another 5 MB. I've heard pressing & holding the camera button when it's disabled can crash/lockup/reboot the phone. I bet disabling or reassigning that button in system prefs should fix that issue.
