Best GPS Navigation system for Omnia with unlocked GPS

[Omega Ra]

I just got the iGO Amigo software last night (instead of version 8.0, it is now 8.4) and so far I like it. Needed to get the right skin for the omnia resolution, but it works great now.

zfly9- Make sure in TT7 you choose the right settings for GPS. It's NOT "Built in GPS Receiver", but I chose "Other NMEA GPS Receiver" Baud Rate 57600, Comm Port 8. It works great!!!

Haven't gotten to use it that much yet, but it is nice. full screen map instead of the way igo was with all the stuff around the sides. Plus it has lots of extras in it (games, media viewer) Lots of POI, and you can change the icon (the arrow that represents you) to a car, a guy on a bike, mack truck..lol.

You have to select wired GPS, and set the com port to 8 and baud to 57600. How did you get TomTom 6 to work nicely on the Omnia?

When you select the GPS type, don't use the internal; use the NMEA one. Set the com to 8 and the baud to 57600. Mine works on the new ROM with these settings. Good luck.

I just installed Garmin Mobile XT and love it. It works perfectly and has a plethora of options. Its $99.00 on the Garmin site (which comes with Mapsource cool software to update your device) or you can rapidshare or torrent it. I have a Garmin GPS for my car, so it was a no brainer. I killed two birds with one stone. It allowed me to update the maps on the phone and my car gps.

i use GOOGLENAVIGATOR, it use the googlemaps servers to download maps , and it can predonwnload a map range and save it to cache, so you don`t need internet conection when uses de gps. its is very good program..... i recomend it
