Sounded to me like he got the cab to download, not the actual program to work.

I got it working. I downloaded the cab for Tytn and went back and downloaded the cab for WM6 and it finds the internal GPS now.

Working GREAT!

There's an option under devices for "Window Moble X.X" Select which version of Windows Mobile you have & download THAT cab. You must prime the GPS... by that, I mean get another program to find the Satellites, first. Any one of other little freebie GPS programs should work. I used Google Maps, myself.

This is great... This may well replace Google Maps and/or Live.

THANK YOU for posting!


Oh... after goofing around with it for a few minutes, I discovered you can change the little arrows on the map. Copy the 3DArrow.png file from \programfiles\amAzeGPS\onmap to your desktop, alter it (I'm using a photo of my car,) but keep the same dimensions. Then, re-save it BACK to the \programfiles\amAzeGPS\onmap folder. When you start the program back up, the image you created will be there instead of the blue arrow. Too cool.

This program works fine on the Mogul... Was using the previous version, but like this one better... You'll get an occasional error after storing Favorites -- otherwise it works as advertised...

thanks for find

guys how do you use this? I tried activating the maps but nothing pulls up. this program looks very cool please show how to use thanks

Re: free voice gps
 
i really like this app! now how come google and livesearch cant add voice prompts again?

this app only lacks the extra polish that the other 2 kings of the free gps hill have... but just becuase of the voice prompts i declare this the winner.

there are a few things that need to be worked on like the main menu sizing, getting arial/hybrid maps to work better, and the fact that it needs to be primed. but overall i'm highly impressed by this app.
