What Gps software are you using with Samsung Omnia?

[Guest raikon]

I am using Route 66 V8 /maps: Portugal and Spain

In my opinion it is very good and fast.

I like it.

What's the exact version of iGo8?

[Guest bobobird]

These work on the Omnia without need for port splitters

iGo 8.0.0 and 8.3.x

Garmin

Route 66

Navigon

These work with use of port splitters

MapKing

TomTom

Best in my opinion -

iGo 8.3.x series if you are in Europe and North America

iGo 8.0.x series in most places

2nd best = Garmin

One other point - the inbuilt gps unit is a major battery sucker. What I have done is for long trips the software connects using bluetooth to an external gps unit (a single charge on these lasts hours and can also be charged using a car charger). For shorter in-city use, I defer to the inbuilt one.

He is probably using either 8.3.2.64873 or 8.3.2.64029.

The maps between the 2 are interchangeable but 8.0.x maps are not and vice versa.

I am using 8.3.2.64029 and it works flawlessly. But it required some tunning to get it running since 8.3 didnt have the correct resolution packs for omnia so I had to extract them from 8.0. Dont know if its a general case though since many people are using 8.3 without any problems.

[Guest somedude]

Get Garmin XT 5.00.20w from Garmin site.

Thanks, that worked.

Has anyone had success with TOMTOM 6? I know it's older, but it's the only copy I have left over from my Treo 700p. Thanks!

[Guest sqjam]

I'm using Garmin with Adria Route map witch is the best map for area where i live - Slovenia, Europe.

I know that Adria Route only works on Garmin (hardvare) devices but i don't know if that is the same with mobile phones.

P.S.: I don't really use GPS on mobile phones because it sux compared to dedicated devices. It's good for emergency situations / if i'm not in the car

Should work perfectly when GPSGate is translating the internal gps's data to a virtual comport, one that TomTom handles in Nmea mode(virtual comport sellected)

iGO 8.0.0 because of the Cyprus maps. iGO 8.3 doesn't have them yet, and I don't know of any other GPS software that do.

I USE IGO8 USED GARMIN AND TOMTOM

in my opinion igo8 is bye far the most user freindly and is a nice software !!

[Guest smoothcrooner]

I use CoPilot Live 7 with maps for the UK & Ireland. It's simply the best navigation software for smartphones and PPCs.
