Has anyone had any luck getting this to work on a Mogul? I was able to get it running, but if doesn't find the GPS receiver automatically, and if I either try to set it to port 4 manually, or have it search, it hangs the phone requiring a soft reset.

Figuring this is based on the IGo engine, I've been digging through those threads some, but I'm coming up blank at the moment.

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

it should work without troubles according to the requirements at the developers site...... have you tried to run a buffer in the background like google maps or something?

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

Yeah, same result. Also tried one of the gps primers (can't remember which), but no joy. Gonna play with it a bit further. In the meantime I'm snagging Garmin to try (part of this exercise is just needing a gps app for when I'm out Sprint range for telenav).

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

You could try using that Astrogps launcher one and put the lnk in your programs. I'm still using igo8 and thats what works for me though. You might have to change a few things around but im sure it would work. This to me is by far one of the better navigation apps btw.

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

Hey would anyone happen to know which part has California.

I'm trying to update my maps to the new ones, but don't have a rapid share account to download all of them and California is all I need

thanks in advance

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

It's a merged rar, so I doubt you'd be able to pull it out of a single file.

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

that is correct.

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

Ok thanks anyways. ill have to download once a day :)

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

When I try to unrar the file, says password is incorrect. Is there a new password? Any suggestions?

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

works fine for me.... just copied and pasted.

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

I've tried the same thing. Typing in manually and copy and paste... just to confirm... password is:

ppcwarez1


Am I right?

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

where did you get the 1 at the end from?

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

Wow...can i say stupid 100 times...

Sorry bout that...Don't know where i got the one...but i do know i tried with and without the 1. Either way works now...Thanks for the help again!

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

glad that you got it to work for you :>

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

How does this compare to iGO? I don't wanna dl this if it's gonna be pretty much the same thing...

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

its quicker and more stable with some added goodies also.

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

Well, for some reason mines not coming up....

What I did is ut the OCN8 folder on my storage card and since I haven't received my new card yet and I'm still running on the 512mb card it came with, i only copied the content for my area (building, map, poi). But when I try to boot up OCN8, it gives me the following error.

Error:
Program application database cannot be found. Please insert the original application SD card.

Again, it's in \storagecard\OCN8 and the contents is in \storagecard\OCN8\building, \storagecard\OCN8\map, \storagecard\OCN8\poi

Any suggestions?

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

you followed the steps correctly and have everything in the correct folder correct? and the main app has to be installed to the main memory and the rest like the maps and all have to be on the card.

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

Yeah...originally i had the app on the storage card but then i moved it to the device...here's how i have it setup...

App:
device\OCN8\

Content
storagecard\OCN8\content

I've also had the content setup as
storagecard\content

Still no luck though...am I missing something here?

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

is that what the steps in the readme file said to do?

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

Not to ask a silly question, but there's a readme file?

Also, for those who got this working, did it require a gps primer/launcher app for you?

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

inside the zip of every release you will find a readme or a nfo file that will tell you how to setup on your device.

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

Didn't see one in this, but may have just been me. Don't think it would have mattered in my case anyway. I got the app to run, just couldn't get it to either recognize the gps, or lock on to birds, not sure which.

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

Well, i think I did. I've tried so many different ways...

Quote:
1. Download and unrar the content of the archive to the root of your SD Card/Internal Storage.
2. Launch the application either from the File Explorer or create a Program Shortcut (using i.e.Totalcmd CE)

So the way you told me to do it is, put the app folder in \my device
and the content folder on \storage card

both in root folders. Right?

Does it matter that I only copied the data for my area? I didn't use all 50 states data. Just California... Would that matter?

I also didn't see a nfo or readme file. I just went by the directions on this thread...

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

any idea why my time would b off by an hour i checked every setting on phone itself and setting for this program

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

thats a common problem and in another one of the igo threads there is a fix posted somewhere.

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

in case anybody needed to know how to have your time show the correct time all i did was used advance config and disabled assisted gps now this is runnin beautiful on the diamond now all i need is the 3d landmarks like yankee stadium and statue of liberty and so on

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

Thanks all the poster above. This GPS program looks nice. Can't wait to give it a test run after work.


I just want to make it easier for other who wants to install this on a HTC Touch Diamond.

You can copy and past whatever you downloaded to the Internal Storage Drive. But do make sure you go to sys.txt and change it to "Internal Storage/OCN8"
(remove those % %) and to save the OCN8 at the root of Internal Storage.

And if your time is one hour off. Go to Advance mode, and Regional Settings. Time and Timezone Settings, uncheck Auto Time Correction to GPS.

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

i had all those settings set the way you said and my time was still off so i jus gave it a shot wit disabling the gps and for once something worked for me without alot of reading to figure it out

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

yeah Brooklyn, I couldn't find that advance setting that you were talking about

so, I tried the auto time correction, and I guess I got lucky to have that auto time correction working for me.

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

This program works quite perfectly on the touch pro with the maps i have. I cannot seem to get an updated version of 8.3.1 that actually works,but this works perfect in every way. Don't have to use a primer or anything to get it to run for the pro just works like butter. TY TY !!

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

glad that it works for you and please be sure to hit the thanks button and the installed button in the first post when you get a chance :>

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

i think i may just give up trying to get my gps to work...its waaay too much of a headache..there is no readme file in the zip, i searched the folder. so i dont know how to install the program either.

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

This program doesnt install. Its freestanding. All you need to do is unzip the files and put the ONC8 folder on your storage card. Once you have that done use a program like totalcommander to create a shortcut to ONC8.exe and put it into windows>startup>programs. Then you can have a shortcut to the program in your start menu. Just go into settings>menus and check off ONC8 (in case you didnt know).

Its really not to hard to get this running. Just use a program like googlemaps as a buffer to get your gps up and running. Then just launch ONC8 and your good to go. I did find that using this sys file made ONC8 run much smoother. Its just a sys file from IGO8 I just edited a few things to use ONC8. Here it is if you would like to use it. Just overwrite the existing sys file in your ONC8 folder.

Dont give up so easily. Thats why there are so many people on this site. There is always someone here to help you out. Just ask for help.

I hope this helps:)

--------- New Post Merged on 25/11/2008 at 11:10:37 --------

Re: OnCourse Navigator 8 (with 20081 North America Maps)
 

Howdy ladies & gents. I think I can get past the problem of getting the GPS reciever to be able to be recognized, so I'm not too worried about that right now.

My problem is that when I make a shortcut with Total Commander, it makes a .lnk shortcut. That shortcut launches the app fine when I run from file explorer or TC, but when i run it from M2D progs page or Start/Programs, it gives me the "Program application database cannot be found. Please insert original application SD card."

Doesn't seem to make sense becuase the same .lnk works when launched from File Explorer.

Anyone here still using this have any insight? Thanks.

--------- New Post Merged on 3/3/2009 at 06:33:38 --------

I couldn't figure out how to edit my above post with the new format of the site.

I got it to run from the start menu after reading one of the previous posts better, but I still can't get it to launch from M2D. If anyone knows what to do, please let me know. If not, no biggie. At least I can get it to go from the start menu.

Thanks.
