Guest triaspis Posted March 11, 2004 Report Posted March 11, 2004 Anyone know if this software will work on the i600? They just released a beta version for windows mobile smart phones. Anyone try it yet?
Guest mark_k Posted March 12, 2004 Report Posted March 12, 2004 Is that map SW? I use MapQuest on my i600 works gret and its free. http://www.mapquest.com/pda/main.adp
Guest paulkbiba Posted March 12, 2004 Report Posted March 12, 2004 It works perfectly on the i600. I put it on last night and it's great fun. I installed it onto the SD card along with maps for the entire state of NJ. Unfortunately we will only be able to use it as a mapping program. Since there is no GPS that works with the phone we will not be able to use active route guidance. The lucky people in Europe have Smartphones with Bluetooth, so they can use a Bluetooth GPS receiver. Come over to our Mapopolis forums on www.gpspassion.com and you will see some screen shots of the program.
Guest Santa Fe Posted March 12, 2004 Report Posted March 12, 2004 Please tell me the exact steps you used to get this on your i600. I downloaded it to mine and get an error message telling me that it is not registered. (I put the downloaded file in the temp directory on my storage card and used file explorer to try to install it). Thanks.
Guest paulkbiba Posted March 12, 2004 Report Posted March 12, 2004 Connect your 600 to your PC and get ActiveSync running. Then run the downloaded file on the PC. It contains an installer which will install the program over your phone using ActiveSync. You can't run the downloaded program on the phone.
Guest Santa Fe Posted March 12, 2004 Report Posted March 12, 2004 When I try that "winzip" opens the file. When I click on "setup" it just extracts the xml detail. What am I doing wrong?
Guest paulkbiba Posted March 12, 2004 Report Posted March 12, 2004 Sorry, I was wrong. I forgot that it is a CAB file. It should run and install just fine. If the install file isn't working I suggest you try the registry fix that is discussed in the forums. This might be what is preventing it from installing. I have done the registry fix on my 600 a while ago.
Guest Santa Fe Posted March 12, 2004 Report Posted March 12, 2004 So far no good. Anyone else tried this on an i600?
Guest mark_k Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 I would like to try it but I am going to wait for the OS update. paulkbiba, Have you installed it on your i600? Please tell us how you did it. Otherwise we are all just wasting our time. Thanks
Guest Skitals Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 Um, works without hitch on my i600. Now someone needs to figure how to wire up a gps mouse to the i600 (they can do this with the spv with a radioshack gps mouse). Anyone have the pin out for the i600 connector?
Guest Santa Fe Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 Skitals - how did you get it to work? I cannot get it to download to my i600 at all. More details please.
Guest Skitals Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 Maybe you need to registry fix/patch installed?
Guest mark_k Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 Skitals - how did you get it to work? I cannot get it to download to my i600 at all. More details please. Santa Fe did you apply the reg fix from Samsung?
Guest Santa Fe Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 No not yet. I was hoping to see if anyone else replied with some details first.
Guest paulkbiba Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 I think you are going to need to registry fix if you want to have any hope of doing the install.
Guest Santa Fe Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 As suggested applying the HKCR registry fix allowed the installation. Now to decide if I want to buy some maps!
Guest nickcornaglia Posted March 13, 2004 Report Posted March 13, 2004 SantaFe! I would have thought you would have installed the fix by now. What were you waiting for?
Guest nickcornaglia Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 You are a patient man aren't you?! At least I hope you are! :)
Guest mark_k Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 I think you are going to need to registry fix if you want to have any hope of doing the install. Have you got it to install on an i600? If yes, what were the steps. Did you install the reg fix?
Guest nickcornaglia Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 You do need to install the reg fix for it to install properly.
Guest paulkbiba Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 If you want the steps go here: http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.a...p?TOPIC_ID=7814
Guest Santa Fe Posted March 14, 2004 Report Posted March 14, 2004 Mark_k, yes it works just fine on the i600 after installing the reg fix (as eveyone told me to do). After the reg fix, simply download the Mapopolis cab file to the desktop, copy it to any folder on the phone (I used the storage card/temp folder) and use file explorer on the phone to find and install the cab file. I really like the program for walking around areas I'm not familar with. A very easy to use and to me "required" app. Glad it is out there.
