Hi Bill,
I have been running TTN6 on an HP PDA running Windows Mobile. With that I can
select "advanced planning" and select "depart from" and "pick a destination"
and it will work out a route and show the details without having a gps fix.
This means I can check distances and journey times from in the house rather
that having to be in the car. I do this quite often and its a facility I would
really miss.
All the best,
Rob

TomTom where talking about bringing out one for Android last year but who
knows if it will ever arrive. iPhone would be their biggest market as unlike
Android it doesn't have a built in system.
It depends what you mean by pre-plan. On my Garmin I can plan a route on
my computer and then transfer it to my SatNav. This isn't possible on my
iPhone. On CoPilot on my iPhone you can plan a route by adding a stop/POI etc
then save the route. I assume you can do the same on Android but you would
need to check.

Unfortunately it doesn't look likely though I don't know why. I reckon TT are
missing out on a lot of business. The essential features I am looking for are.
1, Maps on the phone - so that it all works without internet or phone
signal and I don't get hit for roaming data charges when outside the UK.
2. The ability to pre-plan a route without having a gps fix. I do this a
lot with TTN for planning journey times etc.
3. The facility to add custom POI's, preferably the ones I hav on TomTom.
4. The ability to re-route around problems.
All the best,
Rob

I use the TomTom app on my iPhone but I don't think it is available for
Android. You could take a look at CoPilot Live
<http://copilotlive.com/uk/personal/android.asp> for Android but neither of
them are cheap.

Greetings all,
We have new Android phones, Samsung Galaxy S2. I have been a very
happy Tom Tom user since TTN3 but I really want to do all my navigation using
the new phones. Anybody got any views?
So far I have tried Google Maps - not bad but I want maps permenantly
on the phone.
Navfree - not bad for nothing. The maps are on the phone but its
nowhere near TT
Sygic - so far using the free trial. This is really pretty good but
could be better.
Over to you.
All the best,
Rob Hill
