So.. I got my omnia now and it's being a pain in that it's either a PDA or a phone.. never quite both at the same time.. but getting used to it.. however I had TT5 on my e650 and with this new one I need a navigator.. I have seen the slightly not legal versions of TT7 floating around but they seem a pain to get to work.. anyone using anything else that just installs and works and is as nice as TT7?

Give it time for people to reply, remember you postedin a new section of the site and it may take time for other uses populate this area.
There are plently of other GPS appliction people use with the most popular after TomTom being CoPilot and iGO. The one thing to do is contact the developers and make sure the applications will work on your screen resolution. Technically they should work but I would prefer to ask questions first before spending money to find out you have problems. -------------------- 3 mobile where the words "customer" and "service" only exists in the dictionary

If CoPilot works, I can highly recommend it.

It also helps if you post where in the world you are! Different apps are preference in different regions.

In the UK TomTom and CoPilot are the most popular - my favourite being CP7 although Paul prefers iGo which seems to be very popular in Australia and very difficult to get hold of in the UK!

I've tried all of the mainstream ones, and like iGO8 the best, though it's not officially available in UK yet (I was a Beta tester so have a legit copy!)
TTN and CPL are pretty equal in my opinion, but some of us have seen major routing inaccuracies with CPL in some areas- not sure why, but it often chooses a route 15-20% longer (in time or distance) than either iGO or TomTom would choose. iGO needs a free expansion card slot and the application can't (legally) be moved to a bigger card; TomTom have some onerous licensing conditions once you've registered it on more than one device (if upgrading etc) -------------------- NeilM: Site Moderator and Reviewer on 4WinMobile

I love Tomtom though for it's ease of use but gettign a version that's just load and go.. there's another story.. -------------------- google is our friend... so use it..

Try getting a version that isn't 'dodgy'!

Is there a problem with the GPS? It should be a standard setup. The only issue may well be the unusual screen size, but I think all the main programs can adapt to that.
If TT7 won't work, TT6 should, but I've no personal experience. As long as you know/can find out the GPS COM port, all should be workable. -------------------- NeilM: Site Moderator and Reviewer on 4WinMobile

I was looking aruond for something else that works with the gps on the omnia.. obviously nothing states they are compatable at the moment due to the fact it's a new phone.. So I was asking if people were running other navigation software... If people have TT7 running I would like to know where they got it from

No need for GPSgate, just use 'Other NMEA GPS' at 4800 on COM3.
