GPS navigation on TyTN II

tytn-ii-gps.jpg
TyTN II is a new device from HTC integrated with a GPS antenna. This short commentary has a lot of good things to say about the GPS capabilities of this smartphone.

…TYTN II is very likely the best GPS Navigation system I have ever used…

With the TYTN II, I had three blue satellite connections and an accurate position as soon as I hit daylight from the underground parking garage… The TYTN II gets a fix in a matter of seconds even when in motion.

…another awesome feature for GPS navigation is the tilt screen and keyboard. You can set the TYTN II right up on your dashboard with the screen tilted up and just type in the letters of your destination with the keyboard. No longer am I forced to deal with those horrible on-screen hunt-and-peck alphanumeric software keyboards that most GPS navigation programs force upon us.

    Forget about this HTC devices for Navigation! As all others GPS is set to 3km/h minimus speed to work with Navigationsoftwares.

    All non HTC units are possible to swithch with some additional software (e.g.MMsirf) to pedestrian mode. But not so with HTC devices because HTC did not connect TX GPS port intenrnal. So no setting changes to GPS receiver are possble!

    Its not easy to walk the “last half Mile with a HTC unit and look to the screen and be allways faster 3 km/h!
    Just forget HTC as Naviunit!
