Core I see you're in England, are those screenies from your own Omnia II and if so where can I get one? :)

[Guest Core]

Yes they are for my own Omnia, I bought mine from ebay but the seller I got it from hasn’t got ant left at the moment, but there is another seller with good feedback who is selling them for £420. They all use Fedex express to ship, I received mine in 2 days which is very good from Singapore to the UK.

what about lag?

[Guest Ivan552]

Loaded IGO8 with sys settings from Omnia I, loads and works fine, had to change port 3 to Port1

Tomtom requires port splitter (gpsgate) unfortunately also in the omnia 2 :-(

[Guest severance]

what about lag?

anyone can confirm there is not lag?

[Guest willowfarru]

I try install igo8 (three diferent versions) but i coudn,t.

I try tomtom without splitter and no works for me (XTRA activated an diferents ports and speed).

Tomtom with gpsgate works ,satellite detection is good ,but i only try in my house not in a car.

iGo Amigo is working fine, only in landscape though..

I've also read in posts and reviews that the screen visibility is poor in sunlight. Obviously, this could be quite a problem when using it for navigation.

Does anyone have any experience of using it for navigation in a car? Of course, the unit would have to be angled so that there isn't any direct reflection from the sun or sky. Is the screen good enough to be usable for in-car navigation?

hi, the screen is better than in omnia 1, so u will have no problems tu be honest i dont know whats the big fuss about with tht sunlight. i can read the screen on direct sun without any problems....yes its not perfect (dont even try to compare it to newspaper)..and yes i live in australia...maybe we have different sun here...lolol

i have garmin xt and its ok. i like the google search on it.

I have already installed:

Igo8, Navigon 7, Destinator 7, Miomap 2008, Garmin, Sygic, Ndrive, Automapa

It took me almost 2 weeks testing, in order to make them all work properly, but now i'm OK.

For Greece the 3 medals go to: Igo, Garmin and Navigon

I just installed copilot 8 and it's sweet. Can't beat it for $20.

Hi all ...

Does anybody know why every single navigation program works on my Omnia II with big lag? I've tried Garmin XT Windows Mobile v.5.00.20w, and also iGO 8.3.4.117940 ... Both worked with big lag ... For example, when I stopped the car, speed fall to 0 km/h after 30 seconds or. while I was driving, vehicle moved after every cca. 200m ... I've tried to run application from Micro SD card, and also from My Storage, but there is absolutelly no difference ...

Info about my phone:

- Samsung Omnia II I8000

- WM 6.5 Pro

- PDA: I8000NXXIL5

- CSC: I8000MOTIL5

- PHONE: I8000XXIL2

- Program RAM: 256MB (about 50MB free)

Greetings from Slovenia ... Sorry for my bad english, hope you understand ...

I was wondering the same thing.

Running Tomtom 7 and when i stop the car tomtom stops to 0 after about 5 seconds.

When i move the car then tomtom starts to move up after about 4 seconds.

This problem i have wth every gps program btw and im running also portsplitter

I've tried both Garmin and Co-pilot. I prefer Co-pilot due to the better choice of views (3D, 2D etc) and less lag in updating my position but cannot find a way to stop it connecting to the internet when in use.

Does anyone who's used Co-pilot know how to diable it connecting to the internet as I don't want it connected for a journeyof a few hours.

Cheers

Wow, good price. Where did you pick it up for $20?
