What is the best approach to setup Sat Nav on the TP2? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hi All,
I have a Vodafone TP2. I was wondering what the best approach would be to get Sat Nav working on my TP2?
I am starting afresh here.. so no views on software etc although my VF may have a freebie ??? I will have to check..
Thanks in advance,
Sam

I strongly suggest you start by using the forum ... I know it's been said before, and will be again, but honestly, just spend a bit of time looking at the threads already started - or use search for some GPS software brands.
I'll give you a heads up on two things I think are important:
1. There is currently no official way to get TomTom working on it as the TP2 is not supported by them yet. Of course many people do have TT working on their devices so it is obviously possible, if you know what I mean
2. Beware of the free Co-pilot demo - reading the various threads covering GPS systems on the TP2 shows that it's a bit of an A**E to remove (the latest update may not be removable at all from what I read today).
Good luck searching!

OK! Where do I start? Pimp my orbit?

Hello all,
Whilst I know a fair bit about computers I've become lose in all the talk about what goes on what. I've kind of picked up that "cooking" your rom is abit like upgrading your bios?
Anywhooo just ordered my xda orbit and I cant really work out what should go on there when i get it. I have seen a touch flo mod - HTC touch style interface, can anyone point me in the correct direction?
obviously wm6 comes from the o2 website, I was considering getting one of those HTC remotes - would you recommend this? If so I read somewhere that another mod is neeeded to make the buttons work with the orbit?! I've tried searching but I tend to end up in heated discussions with part developed apps.
What else would you recommend? I've noted the GPS tracking software...
Has there been a new tomtom released for wm6?
Thank you in advance,
JC

Samsung i760 forum

How about a separate forum for the i760. I'm having some issues with my device that others don't have on their devices. A central location would be nice to have.
Ditto. I just bought one, and should have it by the end of the week.
There don;t seem to be very many advanced users out there...
pdaphonehome.com has a big following for the i760.
I agree, it would be a nice spot to have a i760 forum. While I use both pdaphonehome.com and xda-developers.com, they really have two different tones. pdaphonehome.com has really gotten newbie oriented, while I still feel that xda-developers is really about tweak/changing/programming for a more advanced user. Just a thought!
and......
Where is this at, i still don't see a forum for the Samsung i760.
I will add my vote in this as well.
6gb
did anyone find the hack that allow the 6gb micro sdhc card to work fully with it? i have combed the the forums n find nothing concrete...
I think the most people got working was a 4GB
just got the 6g card...
i just got my card in the mail and put the hack i found on the phone. i am only seeing 1276.5 MB still looking for answers...
Another vote for a specific i760 forum!
I just got the i760 before christmas. Haven't done much so far. A lot of installing and uninstalling trying to figure out what works and what doesn't/doesn't yet.
So far:
wisbar advanced 3(the only thing I haven't really figured out how to customize yet)
RlToday
iPhone theme
PocketCM
slide 2 unlock 2
google maps
screen capture
I basically have been looking over the forums trying to find cool programs and install them and try it out. If it bugs out I uninstall and start over.
I hope to figure out wisbar and get a memory card soon...I desperately need more space for mp3s, excel files, and some simple word documents. I saw something about a hack to allow microsdhc cards to work. I have seen 8gb cards. Not sure if they would work for this device. But like with the rest I will try it and see once I buy one.

samsung i760 device ID
Hi there. I was wondering whether anybody knows yet how to find the device ID number on the samsung i760. On my previous xv6700, this was a 6 digit combo of letters and numbers, and I found it through the settings/system menu. For the i760, the code to view the main device info is #4357*, and an "ESN" or 7 digit serial number is listed and I'm wondering if that is in fact the device ID. Thanks.
have some programs

Hi, thinking in buying one (moving from Jasjar then TyTn I because of their bad mic sound with almost any BT headset). but need to know if the i760 will do well with agenda Fusion , finger friendly dial up ,vito audio notes. So if you have time and be kind enough to try and tell, will be great.
One more thing , do u have any complain about the other party hearing your voice intermittent from your BT ? Thanks
does anyone even read these comments? There are tons of phones on this forum, I don't see why an i760 section can't be created.
Samsung I760
Can anyone use Locate Me in Google maps?
Is java disabled at default for Verizon Samsung I-760?
One more vote
I'll add my vote for a Samsung SCH-i760 forum. I know its not an HTC, but come on, show some love
I vote for a Samsung i760 specific forum. A centralized location could bring a lot more new users to this site as there arent many samsung i760 forums yet.
Same here, I love XDA but a i760 thread would rock.
Guys
When HTC buys Samsung then I am sure we will think about it, in the mean time you will need to go to other sites.
What about a forum called other WM PDA forum.

Verizon? GPS? are you sure?

So im getting a vogue today because my q died on me last night. I started out looking for a 6.1 update because i believe mine comes with wm6 and now i see all this stuff about cooked roms. WOW, never had these kind of choices with the q9c. Anyway can anyone tell me what would be the best rom for a Verizon vogue?
Looking at Stability,GPS,Ability to type without stylus, and 6.1 and/or a 3d gui included as major factors.
I seen the other thread but i cant tell if it says that rom has gps or not, this would be my first htc and my first foray into handheld gps.
Thanks guys
So here's the deal - search this forum and ppcgeeks.com for unlocker first. Then upgrade your radio. Then flash a custom rom. You will need to read all instructions. It's not as easy as plug and go. About 4 steps total. Maybe 15 mins of reading. NSFANs rom is highly recommeneded and I've tried them all. You will also need to run aGPS program also found in these forums. Just search the threads and your phone will be better than any iphone, etc.
Recommend some reading....
Thread closed as redundant and useless.

It sounds like you are looking for everyone to do the work for you.
As previously stated, the sticky threads are where to start.
The search function also works flawlessly.
It would take an hour to look up all the things you listed and repost the links here.
Modding your device is a work in progress my friend, your work in progress

For apps and stuff I go to IPmart. You can find everything you want!
@mspl
First, try Jack's medium or full 6.1 ROM for a couple of days. Than you'll decide what you still miss.

No. That is not how this forum works. When you come here, don't talk about getting served in days. First, read the forums for a few weeks, get to know the forum, the people and the content. Then it's reasonable to start asking questions.
Many people before you have asked this question - all are welcome here, but not on those terms.
mapking or garmin xt?
hi i would like the best for my xperia. so which do you guyz recommend for my xperia? mapking 2007 or garmin xt?
TomTom is the best GPS software for X1 it`s faultless! aslong as the maps are available for your counrty
but tomtom maps are specified for certain countries, for a person who travels alot i recommend garmin xt - even though it's a bit complicated when it comes to map making, but it's reliable
