Windows Mobile 7 comes loaded with Bing maps and I find it useful to search for places and check out points of interest around my position. It is like Google maps offer not Android phones and provide you with turn-by turn or voice guided navigation. Basic instructions, but you will need actively to your AP device to use Bing maps to interact to a target and prompts for turns.
If you have a T-Mobile or AT & T Windows Mobile 7 device then you will find that TeleNav GPS Navigator or AT & T Navigator preinstalled on you so in fact you can rotate through turning and voice guided navigation. There is a monthly fee of $9.99 for the service on both vehicles, but can free 30 days to try it out and that is what I use at the moment. TeleNav GPS Navigator is a powerful connected GPS navigation solution that services such as real-time traffic alerts and weather for the site linked you on the go. It is not a film time support in the current version on AP. Check out my video Navigator in action on my HTC HD7 below for TeleNav GPS.
After you start TeleNav GPS Navigator looks very similar to see it as versions on Android, iOS and BlackBerry with main drive search, maps to, of traffic, and tools & tools. There are options to the weather, my stuff (Favorites and last places), preferences and information Tools & tools display. In the preferences for areas settings in General, navigation and navigation audio select regions. General settings include language, units of length, map colors and volume. Navigation settings include route style cards style background lighting, traffic alert turns. In the section audio navigation you can choose how much audio, the you want to have played (none, statements only, and full audio).
If you cards of & traffic, which you will be taken to a map, which shows your current location tap. Icons at the bottom are provided for find me, show transport, search and new card. If you tap on new map a page shows up you are prompted to select an address. Tapping on search provides you with the same page that displayed the main display is when you tap on Search. Search options include the ability to the kind of speak a target or browse through different POI categories. I like such as gas price, Wi-Fi spots and parking and think that they are heavily used.
As multi-tasking-not really supported Windows Mobile 7 if, go do something else, then the application exit GPS Navigator finished and stop navigation instructions. TeleNav makes it easy to get back where you were with the quick option select drive and then continue. You can get back on track with a few taps.
Also, if a call comes in then the call interface appears atop the program and can take the call. When you launch continue to it exactly how work, before the call in came.
Now the TeleNav solution is the only option for turn-by turn voice guided GPS navigation on Windows Mobile 7. The software is pretty good and full featured and for many people, current and accurate navigation may need the monthly fee is worth.
