    Hey guys

    I need some information and i hope you will be able to help me ...Recently my job is connected with lots of travelling ,so i need a worldwide GPS system ..A friend advised me not to buy TomTom ,because it has some connectivity problems in Europe ,and also told me to try some rookies on the market ,which offer free try outs ...So i checked and the most popular one which i found is called NAV4ALL ..You can download it for free from the website www.NAV4ALL.com ,which is pretty convinient..The only thing is i that i don`t know if it is safe to do this ..Has anybody checked it out ?

    i'm also looking for different gps navigators, and in general i can say that tomtom is more user-friendly and easy to use.. nav4all is pretty simplified..

    Sorry about the confusion, Steven. Please understand that us moderators are responsible for keeping the boards clean and free of spam. Those filthy spammers come up with all kinds of creative ways to advertise their web sites and make it look like an innocent person asking an honest question.

    Therefore, this was likely a case of mistaken identity. Please accept our apologies and here is a bucketload of CPF cash which you can spend on profile upgrades and other fun things like that in our site's feature store.

    Re: Gps navigation software

    Yeah, that's why i pointed that out. A lot of people like to just list their website and saying "Oh, it's good, but idk...". And it was your first post and im like... "ummm..." lol. Sorry for the confusion!

    For me: My best friend mapquest will do the job!

    hahah ,true, the mapquest can be really really exciting estecially when u r travelling for fun ..but believe me ,if u have to travell because of your job and u have to make sure that u r on time for a meeting in a totally unknown place u will have to rely on some sort of gadget ,otherswise it gets difficult and can cost u a lot..

    Re: Gps navigation software

    Have you considered handheld GPS ?

    I had a peek at the NAV4ALL site, and it seems fairly decent. Personally, I'd try it out, no real harm could come from it.

    I work in the cellular industry, and while I'm not a network engineer, I can tell you that you're probably perfectly fine trying out this software.

    Just per say, assuming the software is some of trojan, or keypad stroke recorder, or some other type of evil software, there's not much anyone could do with it. Cloning a cellular handset these days is very hard due to precautions inside the phone and on the network side.

    My personal opinion, try it out and see if you like it.

    Re: Gps navigation software

    Abom ,u are right that handset gps is maybe a better option and i am definitely going to buy one one day ,but for now ,as my company covers the expenses for the usage of phone gps i don`t see a point in spending extra money for a new device

    Actually as u mentioned it ,i alredy tried the software once, but i did not say it before because i was already accused of "spamming" , so i didn`t want to cause more doubtfulness about my credibility..

    I tried it almost a month ago and i found it pretty decent, although i haven`t used such things before and i have nothing to compare it with hehe

    One setback were the graphics -2d , nothing much , but the voice commands were ok .It showed me the way well -i did not get lost, and it was very easy to be used .Something interesting was that u were also able to download just a selected piece of the map and not everything..I think it should be real time and download the maps from a satelite -a coleague of mine told me this ,but i am not sure if this is true ..But if this is really the case i think the concept is really promising ..

    I thought I said sorry already, but if it makes you feel any better, I beat Robb up with a wiffle bat and covered him head to toe in honey and cheerios before turning him loose in the park to be chased down and pecked half to death by a mob of hungry pigeons with bird flu.

    We all make mistakes, I myself have humbly apologized to people I thought were spamming. We get SOOO much spam you have no idea! You just don't see it because we are constantly cleaning up behind them and the threads disappear like that *poof*. In the frenzy, it's inevitable that someone will occasionally get a spam warning for signing up and saying, "have you heard of such and such site", so please find it in your heart to forgive and forget, we didn't mean to, promise.

    Re: Gps navigation software

    Oh ,don`t worry of course i forgive and forget ,haha and if u r in a forum u have to obey to the rules, which is totally normal..but usually i don`t write in forums ,mostly because i don`t have the time for it, so i guess my first try with asking about that software wasn`t that good ,because i didn`t want to waste much time and i wrote the same message in all forums ...Which was quite stupid as i think about it now ,but anywais it is done ..So there is no problem and i am really happy that somebody believes me and even appologized ,because it didn`t happen in some other forums where i was even banned ..:

    Hey, i'm sorry for the slow reply but recently i don't have much free time left
    Well with nav4all it really depends on you personal usage. I mean with this software you don't have to download a whole bundle of maps and then only use a few but still pay for the rest... with nav4all you download only separate ones from the i-net
