Thread: Garmin fleet 790 demo

Look if you all want to use this app no problem.

Then try learning to program this android app.
Then you can fix the problems that do not work.

When you take an app out of its working environment and try to make it work on a head unit of smartphone there will be problems.
Some can not be over come.

Example:
head unit resolution 800×480 are you going to go out and get a better head unit just to use this app???
I do not think so.

Street Pilot has it's own set of problems too.


There are good programmers here at this forum that are not putting there fingers to it.

There is only so much you can change in an app with out building it from the ground up.

Again I do not see anyone trying to do this.

Patching an app is one thing but changing how that app will work in and environment it was not made for it only problems after problems.

I am not disrespectful only pointing out facts that will be hard to over come.

PS:

Oruxmaps (Android)

For mobile devices (smartphones, tablets) the Oruxmaps is the only app that is compatible with Garmin img tiles.

I have pointed this out before........

Also here is the link to:

It does not always work so you will have to try a couple of times to get the apps

If you use VPN and tell you are in the USA it loads faster

Spoiler: Again it takes a very long time to load

Wrong, have you actually tried it? Orux actually states Garmin .img isn't fully supported, and it never has and still doesn't work with my City Nav and Topo maps.

Latest Orux throwing up on a Garmin .img:

And Hydra seamlessly displaying the same map on my mobile:

The Orux interface is also clunky & overly complicated, and it doesn't support the POI & Cyclops. Nor does it provide the majority of the other great features of the Garmin Nuvi software family present in Hydra and Street Pilot.

So which are the other "many other app on this forum that do a very good job and far exceed anything that this app gives you"?
