Thread: Legal - Licensed - Fully Functional iGO

Agree, jtrosky, but WinCE? For how long?
New devices coming out? I don't think so.
As for NavNGO, as long as they make maps that work on WinCE IGO/Primo, nothing wrong with WinCE.
The moment NavNGo start making R4 or R5 maps only to be used with the newest IGO Android builds (like they did in the past with the R3 maps for IGO 8.3), IGO8 and Primo for WinCE will die by itself (as IGO 8.0 did).
Future wil tell.

2. Garmin and TT makes money from "faithful" users which feel that their units are the best and nothing else. The "fan boy" mentality. Those people will stick with them regardless of their actions.

True. But maybe not looking to reality and innovation. PNA's are out, smartphones are in and (almost) everyone has one, thus a GPS in his pocket. Then why keep on buying a new PNA? For keep on dying hard? Hmmm. Like elderly people keep watching black and white musicals with Fred Astaire that are colored in these days.

A.o. Waze, Here-we-go, Osmand, Mapsme, ... all getting better, are legal and free.

PNA still have it uses, and personally I have PNA running iGO8 that beat the crap out of Waze or Google running on android/iPhone; even give NextGen on android run for it's money. Ah, the PDA/PNA days where NNG hacking was starting (the golden age) The only thing that android have over PNA's is the price, I can get a 480x320 for $5 that rival any 480x272 PNA costing much more.

Those proggy may be free but they are crap compared to NNG/Navigon/Sygic(the older version). Case in point, my bro was using Waze (he swear on the accuracy of it) while I was trying to show him my NextGen, it routed him every way but the correct way. The look on this face was priceless.

I. know syguc and nng guys are here on this forum too. This is a priceless RD. for them. So. please listen to. some of. what we write here... especially change your distribution policy.

Hope somebody with legal android will show up to. share his/her experience with IGO. NG

And if NNG is listening, I would like them to sell map per states (maybe like $1 per quarter) or per regions (maybe like $5 per quarter) or entire US for $25 per quarter. I don't need to get states or countries I don't need. This will be affordable and prevent piracy.

Dito answer as before.
Can't say about Waze, but at least they update maps (?) according to changed traffic situation within 24 to 48 hours. Mapmakers can't say that so whatever "proggy", sygic or NG, will end up the wrong wdirection in a one way street.
And in the past, IGO as well as Primo were not that good in routing either. Strange detours and others issues forced many to examine the route on screen before driving. Forgotten?
Anyway, google whenever not accurate, brought me home flawlessly yesterday. And the correct route too.

+1
And the same for Europe

Great you brought up this issue, I bought igo navigation for iphone and android, both of them are offering outdated maps HERE 2015 Q3!!!! unlike Sygic people NNG isn't paying attention to end users .
In my car I use igo primo and HERE 2016 Q4 downloaded from this forum and till now I can't use Igo nextgen wince, as the fully cracked version that doesn't require license still didn't appear.
Really NNG are abandoning a good investment with end users compared to Sygic.

I never used igo navigation despite I bought it 11 months ago because of outdated maps, on my smart phone i prefer Sygic it has better graphics and utilities like HUD etc.

That is. my point exactly I. am. willing to. support NNG but I read opinions on Google play and. users are ranting about outdated maps etc. Hopefully NNG will fix this soon and they will get one more customer at least.

It. is. unbelievable that company of this popularity, history and. size did. all the hard work in creating this amazing software but failed at the distribution side. Even maps updates are not like with Syguc they are behind at least one generation. This is done by Navi extras if I. am. right. So. just provide great stable android version (international version). At the moment igo world or any other version I found on Google play is poorly accepted by users. At this moment one cannot buy good igo. We resort to our own hybrid versions by combing bits and bits from many versions. You did the hard part NNG but failed to deliver what you produced. Hope you will realize this mistake soon... times are changing. Think not only about today but about tomorrow too.
