Hi Guys,
I am in search for a newer TomTom Australia Map.
The version i have at the moment is v568.
I'm pretty sure it is 2005 map. Does anyone have the 2006 map?
If anyone want the v568 map from me or the setup file please let me know. I also have the Mobile version which work for Nokia N70 and Nokia 6600.
Thank you
Anyone can help please??
Ah - a double double post. Please don't
Hi all,
I am trying to work out how to install the TomTom Navigator 5 Series maps onto the Polaris. It does not seem to be going very well. I was using these maps with the jamin and tomtom5. Do I really need to buy new maps? I hope not as these work and are perfectly good. Please could someone enlighten me please?
Kind Regards,
Will

I guess the problem is that you have tomtom 6 on tc and want to use tomtom 5 maps. You could try installing them using tomtom home. Or you could try uninstalling tomtom 6 from the tc and installing tomtom5. if u have bought the software and maps, you could email tomtom customer services and explain the problem (i.e. that u cannot transfer the maps on ur new device), maybe they could be of help.
hope this is helpful
TT5 works fine on my Touch Cruise. You first have to remove TT6 from the device. Then, copy the 4 CABs to a temporary dir on your SD-card and run them. Install the cards you need on a temporary dir on your PC and copy them to the SD-card.
I copied the card dirs from another device. All settings and speed cams where copied to my TC.
I hope this brief explanation will help you.

Thanks Joop and Jackster....
I have had a reply from tomtom........(info for anyone else)
"Dear Mr Richardson,
Thank you for contacting TomTom Customer Support with regards to your PDA.
Navigator 5 maps are unfortunately not compatible with the software of Navigator 6.
You will have to use the maps provided with navigator or buy new maps.
Please check the compatibility of your device , you could do tis by going to our website under PDA/Mobile"
Its a ****** scam! At least Microsoft aren't that bad! "Here buy Nav 5, (XP) whoops you have upgraded to Nav 6 (Vista) none of your programs work, sorry you have to buy them again!!!!!!
Brilliant Thanks Tomtom for the support and great service! What other people sell navigational software? (Rhetorical Question, PLease do not reply!)

Hi there,
Tomorrow I'll be traveling and I was wondering if there is any gps software available that has japanese maps. I always use tomtom but they dont have any japan maps and with google I couldnt find software that does. I'd really love to have some navigation when I go there as im crap at following directions.
Hello again

Thanks for that I will check it for a uk version
Garmin XT..
I'm pretty boring. I have tomtom for in-car satnav and google maps for if i get lost walking round a city.
Both are free (whoo!) but remember google will require a data connection to download maps (free) as you go and tomtom requires you to buy the maps (i believe you can get a free city map when you sign up on their site)
Cool Cheers
I will have a look on the old Fleabay
alright mate,
i have co pilot and it rocks dude.
i use it with an external gps, but i have also tried my google maps with internal gps and that was fairly accurate.
I have copilot also. works great. I got it off amazon.co.uk for about £60. not cheap but very good. Loads of different voice, POIs etc if thats what you want.
I even use it on my motor bike and the buttons are big enough even if you have gloves on.
Garmin is good. And they have UK nav. Or you can try co-pilot. My friend Nina was using that and she said it worked great. Also she found some other GPS on internet like zorro. They must have UK based nav.
i've seen many GPS tests on WM platform, and i think that iGo Amigo is the best app available, with Navigon following shortly behind....
iGo Amigo
-- TTS
-- Signpost info
-- Lane info
-- Terrain
Hope someone can point me in the right direction. I have TT7 for my HD2 and now need to buy the North American maps. But when I go to the TomTom US site, there's no listing for the map, and in fact they don't even list Windows Mobile software as being available at all - only iPhone, which is pretty obnoxious where I'm concerned.
Am I doing something wrong? Has TomTom abandoned the Windows Mobile platform? What gives?
Bump. Anyone?
Bump. Yeah I've been looking too.
Try ***warez site link removed*** their site is down at the moment, but should be back in a week or so.
I understand the site has been hacked and will take a look at them when they're back, but why would we want to go there rather than buying maps directly from the vendor? Just asking - I don't understand, and it seems you know something.
When you go there, you will see.
Since the site is down due to a hack with no indication of when it'll be back, maybe one of you guys will spare me the suspense and just say what's going on if you know?

Ok, now go and try to select North America and see what happens.
TOMTOM has officially abandoned the US market for TOMTOM Navigator 7 and above, "Due to difficulties with US Cell Service providers"
Except for iPhone because Apple will apparently "work with them", while the other providers won't.
The latest US maps that will work with TT7 on the HD2 are the 825 series. The 845 series appear to be incompatible with WM6.5, which is why TOMTOM won't sell anyone the USA maps for Navigator anymore.

Please quote or link to source of your information because it seems contradictory. TomTom is independent of cell service as it's based on hardware GPS, and iPhone is... a phone, so if there are "difficulties with US Cell Service providers, that would include AT&T, the iPhone partner here in US. Furthermore, the HD2 was recently added on the TomTom site as a supported device, so again your information sounds strange. Color me confused.
i found the maps on the tomtom site or you can download them as a torrent.

Link, to US/CAN maps, please. I don't see them anywhere. I go through the steps of selecting my device, and get to the three boxes where they display the regions, but there is no selection for US/Canada.
I'd rather buy them legally than download them as a torrent.

This from US TomTom support phone-line. The polite young lady on the phone said she went and checked with her supervisor, and with her tech support desk. I am a long time TOMTOM user and was fairly insistent on getting an answer. She was very insistent on 'Can't help you - it will never be available in the US on anything but iPhone.'. Polite, but insistent.
So I regretfully hacked it. It works very well, allowed me to download one city map for free, and I don't expect to get updates for the USA and Canada map I am using. I would have been happy to pay them, I begged them to allow me to pay them...

my bad, i looked and they have maps, but no US . i guess they dont sell them anymore so i guess the torrent is the only option.
i dont know if this helps but i just downloaded the one free map for my city (san diego). of course i didnt try and buy other one and so i dont know if it works.
Any progress on this...?
Thought I'd bump this to see if anything has changed since the last post.
I'm looking to upgrade to Navigator 7 so I can have a version of TT that 'works' on my HD2 (i.e. correct screen format). Plus I want to be able to use the updated maps.
I need to be able to run with both UK/Europe maps and North America maps (for my trips to the US). I am happy to buy these maps from TT. I'm not looking here for free maps!
It seems that TT (for reasons we can only speculate on) still do not support North America maps on Navigator 7.
Has anybody managed to find a solution to this (e.g. Navigator 7 with an older version of NA maps or even a 'fix' to allow Navigator 6 to switch to WVGA mode)?
