I use igo8 with tomtom as a backup.

TomTom 7.914 or something works on TP2, I think earlier versions (7.4, 6, etc) don't. You just need to get (or purchase) the US maps.

Has anyone ever gotten Sprint Navigation to work effectively? I never used to use it because required subscription fees, but I kind of like some of the features and would like to able to use it.

I just thought I would upload the GPS Gate installer application in case anyone wanted it.
This will install a trial, and I do believe it has a link to purchase, I can't remember for sure, and mine is already activated.

I have never had luck with TomTom on my TP2 with anything but the stock rom. It laggs like no other no matter which version I use so I switched to Garmin XT and so far it seems to work great. I prefer TomTom. If anybody can share how they get it working then please share.

Ok, I finally tried iGuidance. It works very well (a little lag) and has TTS. The only drawback is it is only QVGA and VGA, no WVGA. This makes navigating the menus a tad difficult....

The blue area is the actual native screen size. The buttons have shifted in an attempt to fill the screen.

I like the simple organization and ease of use. Easy POI look-up system. The package even announces when I enter a school zone.

Can anyone create a WVGA skin for this? I currently use iGo8, but iGuidance could give it a bit of competition.

I've ditched Co-pilot for Igo8 and so far it's been good but sometimes it tells me to go left but when it's really stay on the left lane then go straight. Luckily I was looking at the map at the same time. Overall it's good. Maps are pretty updated and have not encountered missing roads or POIs. The only thing I can't get to work is TTS. I've tried so many TTS versions and was very time consuming trying to get it to work. I've given up on it. I realized it's not so much of a big deal as long as I can still look at the map and see the road I'm supposed to turn into etc.

I have searched and havent found much luck on this one:


Anyhow have suggestions for a good GPS program with TOPO maps? For backpacking and such. I would rather use my phone then a garmin if I didnt have to buy one.

I use copilot live 8. TTS works fine.
