Thread: which one are you using frequently : Smartphone vs. Dedicated Car GPS (PND) ?

Ever since 2011, using Papago model Q35 GPS
PAPAGO use WINCE6 software but lost USER MENU access last year because the TOUCH calibration is embedded in the WINCE6 HIVE registry
was corrupted by battery shut down.

Today I used a NEW WINCE6 7 inch GPS that now again lost Touch Calibration and nobody has answer what to do to recalibrate the internal
NAND flashed memory containing the HIVE driver WINCE6 KEYS to the TOUCH CALIBRATE regisstry

7 inch size Bluetooth and FM transmitter WINCE6 GPS is available delivered to your door for USD 44.00 from several online sellers
It is cheaper to buy a new GPS loaded with Bluetooth / latest IGO map / FM radio transmitter / window suction cup / charger for only USD 44.00
but I would like to have some person explain how to repair two seperate non identical GPS machines operating on WINCE6 having the same
identical problem UNABLE TO ACCESS USER MENU because unable to focus Touch input location outside the GPS display menu

The CE6 Operating System is embedded inside a locked NAND Flash memory with WinCe6 Registry HIVE data that contains the Touch Control
Calibration Values

This problem was and is a Win CE6 Registry HIVE error documented Microsoft factory problem that happen when the internal battery is
low the WINCE6 registry update during time to shut down is a slow registry backup
IF battery RESET WIN CE6 is interrupted during the slow registry backup storage of the REGISTRY HIVE is corrupted in particular loss of Touch Control Calibrationand

the story unfolds from a software developer 2013 URL listed
Registry modify itself on Windows CE6.0

What I am asking if available is a EXE file that can EXE the calibration for the Touch Input HIVE REGISTRY described as a standard REG KEY
There is no other way to correct this problem with LOST TOUCH MENU INPUT other than a USB port file transfer that is renamed to the WINCE6 registry start directory file example NAVI.EXE .. Then have the new file renamed NAVI.EXE file start the TOUCH CALIBRATION and save it...

To return to normal WINCE6 GPS using the USB access rename the new file used to execute only TOUCH CALIBRATION to BAK and rename
the original NAVI.EXE application then start GPS up

The WINCE6 program gurus all talk about must have an OLD WIN XP 32 bit software and use ACTIVE SYNC or .NET FRAMEWORK software
installed on a 32 bit XP machine in order to dig around the WIN CE6 registrty KEYS

So if somebody any body has an EXECUTABLE file with an INI file to activate the internal WINCE6 NAND flash registry for the Microsoft
standard TOUCH CONTROL CALIBRATION all your support would be appreciated

As an example of the variety of cheap 44 USD seven inch WINCE6 GPS ssystems delivered to your door as a replacement when you lost
your WINCE6 TOUCH CONTROL registry data

Smartphone to short navigation. In the car usualy tomtom or here maps

Definietly smartphone for every kind of navigation (in car, sightseeing, biking, hiking), because this all in one solution is on hand every time

I've been using my smartphone exclusively. I have it paired to my car and the program audio instructions come through the car's speakers. Plus I have more than 800 songs on my phone and they also play through the car's speakers.

I'm still using the smartphone to navigate, because I have there all programs needed to navigate any terrain (car, hiking ...)

i think smartphone because not all countries have active gps services of cars.

i am using my android phone more now. just more convenient.
