Best GPS Software for TP2

[dvpmike]

If you are running tp2 with sense 2.5, it's laggy as hell with Mobile xt.

I use tomtom and garmin... both work perfect for me, just swaped to mighty roms latest from nrgy, dont notice any lag, didnt on nrgy either

Thanks. I guess maybe this was a waste of my $20.

I feel your pain! It was $35 when I bought it. Felt like a deal compared to $99 for iG08, but live and learn....

LOL, how stupid do you think I feel??

I bought it twice, once as CP7 & now CP8............

It figures, I almost NEVER pay for software & now that I do i get screwed on it......

can anyone help me? i am reading all these posts about other people using tt7 on their tp2 phones. one question is how? since its a European version, and doesnt have any US maps on it. here is my dilemma. Im using tp2 stock rom, trying to install tomtom 6 on it, it installs just fine but when i try to run it i get some kind of memory error. i have called htc and sprint no one seems can help me. thats why this is my last resort. thank you in advance for your help.

How are you using tomtom on tp2? i have tomtom 6 and i am able to install it but cant run it due to some error that has to do with the memory (i think it has to do with the screen resolution) did you have to install a patch or some kind of fix? please let me know.

I got this from TomTom a couple of weeks ago:

"Thank you for contacting TomTom. We appreciate the time you have taken to contact us regarding the NAVIGATOR 6 software. We are happy to help.

Unfortunately at this time, due to hardware and/or software issues, the HTC Touch PRO is not compatible with our NAVIGATOR 6 software. We do understand your frustration, and we do apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused. Please be aware that TomTom is committed to making our navigation software compatible with as many devices as possible.

For your convenience, we have provided a direct link to the list of compatible devices for Navigator 6:

You are correct in seeing only the Tytn2. There are a few reasons for this. The first is that technically the other phones that you had been using where never deemed compatible. In order for a phone to be added to the list..it must work 100% of the time without problems. (we are happy to hear that it worked with your phone, but there were a lot that did not work)

In regard to the newer phones, we are no longer actually making NAVIGATOR 6 software. We still support it for the compatible phones, but we are no longer adding newer phones, as most will not work anyway. ( the platform of the phones have become so advanced in the last few years, that most will not work)

With that being said, we are no longer producing newer maps for this software.If you are wanting to get the maps for Europe, you will need to use version 6.65 or 6.75. These maps are almost 3 years old. "

Sounds like a big fat raspberry from TomTom...

Google maps is nice, but it doesnt give you turn by turn drivin directions. Ive discovered iGO8 is the best for me. No lag, Has a compass, a speedometer, you can put in speed traps. Theres even a skin for a better look. And best of all, all on one device. Theres a thread in this very forum on it.
