Navcore compatible with Windows 8.1 phone resolution 800x480

Postby jokskot » Thu May 21, 2015 1:02 pm

Is there a Navcore available to run on a Microsoft Nokia Windows 8.1 phone with a display resolution of 800 x 480?
Thanks in anticipation.

Not sure if you noticed but a Navcore works under Linux and the TT app under Android.
Get a proper phone with a proper OS and try again ;)

Please answer the question rather than air your prejudices;-)

There is an old saying: Ask a stupid question and you will get a stupid answer.
The phone runs on Windows, a Navcore on Linux, therefor the question is of no relevance.
I guess when you look for software for your phone you don't search for Linux programs, do you?

Sorry if you feel that way but a simple Google search would have shown there is no TT for Windows phones / tablets.
Also that there is no normal Windows version for TT.
A Navcore is a dedicated piece of software for PNA's.
The display resolution or type of phone are not relevant.
You could have avoided the question and answers with a very simple Google search or by checking the TT homepage for Windows support ;)

pace your statement "there is no normal Windows version for TT"...............
I am currently running Navcore 7.9xx on a Windows 6.5 phone which has a smaller screen than that described in the OP. The essence of the query is whether there is a version compatible with Windows 8.1 and suitable for a higher resolution screen.

TomTom has not developed an app for Windows Phone 7 or above:

If you have a Nokia Lumia, you could use the Nokia HERE Maps app which is not too bad actually...and you get free maps

I guess what people throws off here is Microsoft.
If you say Windows it does not always mean what the other person thinks.
Also when people see that a device runs on Windows they simply assume it must be the same Windows on everything.
Just a few "Windows": CE, WM, XP, Vista, 3.XX, 95....
The only thing they have in common is a screen that has the look of a window ;)
But this neither means they work the same way, not that a program for one version has to work on other versions too.
If a user on top of that has no clue for what type of OS a program is available the chaos is perfect :)
