Any suggestions?

Ps. the reason why I am asking this in a new thread and not just adding to the HTC Desire thread is that

a) it gets lost in there

and

b) it will hopefully create more motivation to give us Desire/Android phone owners our own section.
 
I know LEAF are currently in talks with nDrive as well, but there's no current solution available. I've got a hybrid solution of Navigon for Android and Navigon maps for iFruit going, but I'd love to go legit... Come to think of it, I think nDrive is in the Market, but it's stupidly expensive for what really isn't fantastic software.

Wisepilot = Garmap, eh? Interesting... :twisted:
 
Just registered and downloaded Garmap, it asked me to send an SMS to a number, I couldn't find any mention of cost or subscription so I'm assuming this is just a registration process?
 
I been doing trials on Nagivon, Copilot and NDrive on my Desire. Navigon is by far the best out of the lot. It feels like it was built for touch screen and I rate it close to Tomtom in terms are routing and re-routing instructions. I would not spend my money on Copilot and Ndrive!
 
Does Ndrive download maps or offline maps? also looking a nice offline solution
 
ndrive is the best. only about R200 rand. and you install all maps on card....200 megs or so, install from market and follow instructions but just make sure you download off wifi , 200 megs off 3g data will be expensive
 
it is EUR 60 (about 600 bucks). I purchased it last year for EUR 79. NDrive 10 is really nice (in comparsion to v9).
 
I use NDrive on my Hero and for navigation it is fine.

From the other GPS thread - seems to be working ok for me, although I havent tested it properly yet. Dedicated GPS software will probably be better, but for those of us that dont need turn by turn often enough to justify R800 it will probably do the trick.
 
I am also using the hacked one called "Maps (brut)". Is there any way around the voice direction delay?

Due to the on-line requirement, I only use it to plan a route and then very close to my destination, or when in a city I am not familiar with.

I really want my TomTom back!. I've kept my TyTN II just for navigation coz I love TomTom.
 
Brut version 13 works perfectly with voice not delayed and maps cached to SD card so plan your route while on wifi.

Is that the rooted version? If not, where did you get it? The latest non-root version I can find is 4.0
