Hi there,
There are many kind of GPS software that runs on windows mobile OS, which powers the Samsung Omnia. I bet TomTom 6 should run fine on the i900 phone.

Use windows live search then go to center on GPS. The gps signal is directly ontop of me unlike google maps. And it will map out destinations for you as well. Just not voice activated.

I contacted Tom Tom and they told me 100% that their software would not work on the Samsung Omnia... but do I believe them? Not sure!!

I see lots of adverts for the Omnia with Sat Nav pictures on screen. To date noone at Samsung or my provider or any of the UK phone shops can tell me what the screen shot is running... how very very frustrating!

Hi there
i own a samsung i900 and TomTom 7 works perfect

One thing I know for sure - TomTom 6 doesn't work...
I'm going to try Garmin Xt Europe, because I heard that it works very well on i900:)

Both Tomtom and Garmin will work on Omnia but only with the help of GPS port splitter software (Google GPSgate or PortSplitter). Both Tomtom 6 and 7 work with this software (despte what Tomtom themselves say!)

Samsung i900 does not work with tom tom with gps proxy software

route 66 & Garmin xt

Is there any free voice powered software i can download onto my Omnia? I do currently have the internet data bundle off vodafone but i only use it for Sat Nav. I am currently using the google maps that comes already installed on the Omnia but i dont think it speaks. Please help.

Cheers in advance

you say that ur omnia has google maps pre-installed? i cant find it on my phone...where is it. and im very confused about this GPS stuff, so i have some questions...
1.where/what software do i use?
2. where do i get the software from?
3. does it cost me, and how much?

Thanks in advance

All Vodafone omnias have google maps pre installed but for some reason theyre hidden. You have to go into tools then your files and make sure you click show ALL hidden files and hey presto you should find em

Tomtom 6 or 7 does work with Samsung Omnia and here is the fix:

1st - Settings:
I use in external GPS settings - program port "COM7" and hardware port "COM9" at 4800. (note: Make sure your TomTom7 configure also follows COM7 port!)
2nd - Reboot
Then I shut off the device completely (complete off), and reboot. Once I reboot.
3Rd - Delete the 'GPSID_log' files
I go to File Explorer --> My Device and I delete the TWO 'GPSID_log' fileS.
[note: the reboot step is absolutely necessary, because if you don't reboot, then it won't allow you to delete one of the 'GPSID_log' file!!!]
4th - Start TomTom7 OUTSIDE (under the clear sky) and within 20 - 30 secs the program catches the satellites (they show up on the configure screen). But not only that - after 1-2 minutes the software actually CONNECTS to the satellites (the satellites turn BLUE) and in the front screen it says - no route planned! Note: You Must Wait Until The Front Screen Says "No Rote Planned" and the map is in color (opposed to black and white) before you start setting your destination, otherwise it will keep on hanging and just showing you the satellites in grey without ever turning into blue.

Hi,

I would like to have TOMTOM on my Omnia but at £70 the software is too expensive.

Could anyone help. Credit crunch and that.

Hi,
i am looking to buy this from UK, but was wondering that will there any software for GPS with Indian maps for the phone, as I am an Indian resident, in UK to study only. Thus, it would be appreciated if any one could help me out with this before i buy the phone.

THanks

I use iGO 8 and it works well, only the video si a bit smaller than the capacity of i900

Thanks for the Tomtom maps and instruction. It works a treat and real value for the price.

If anybody has loaded the Tomtom sofware available from johnc878 can you please help me with a problem i'm having with it.

I've loaded the software onto my phone but whenever i try and Tap tomtom_nav and then tomtom_today it says that it was unsuccesful the files appear to be empty. Has anybody else had this issue?

Paddy_m88,

I got mine from johnc878@gmail.com and he was very helpful through out my installation process. The fact that I have never used a windows mobile device/pda before because I am not into technology at all, he make sure I got it up and running through emails. I will advice you get in touch with him for help if you still need any help.

Very good deal for the price compared to what I was quoted in the shops and online.

Cheers

Hi Guys

COPilot 7 live, works a treat, bought it from ebay for my m3100, but de-registered it and moved it on to my Omnia, full screen as well
