Your a champ!
Thanks heaps
Regards Paul
The link above is no longer availabel. Can anyone repost a valid link for the AUS maps.
Thanks
ive got them but go for tomtom australia maps,
they are heaps better, Microsoft hasnt updated the australian maps for over 2 years now and the only way to update them is to use microsoft streets.
the tom tom maps are a stack better but you cant use the locate address functions without GPS (that sucks).
ive got both but its a bigish download.
yeah ampda i noticed ur site went down a while back, figured someone mighta closed it? was a cool place had some great stuff on there.

You could try Vito software, it at least has maps for Oz downloadable.

GPS map software review
I think I tried and bought (trial version never let you fully tested the software) the top 5 commonly used GPS software. I looked around for AU and NZ maps too, but they are either too expensive or not good enough (primitive).
Tom Tom v.2 (for Europe) - very good, and I think it is relatively very cheap. I bought it at least 2 years ago, and the software is already very useful and I can fit the maps in 1 SD card. It allows you to mark a start and end points, then it will guide you to either the quickest or shortest path.
PocketStreet 2002 (for US) - ok. Similar to Tom Tom but with point of interests. But it won't auto-span across 2 maps. i.e. if you travel from one city to another, you have to manually change maps. But it is very cheap and the map is free. I bet they already fixed the auto-span in the newer version.
MapKing 5 (for Asia) - very close to TomTom. I tried MapKing 7, it is even better. With 3D and very accurate street level map.
Vito (for Australia) - cheap but if you are looking for street level map, it is definitely NOT the software to go for. The map is also outdated. Basically waste of money.
Memory-Map (for NZ) - if you plan to the your laptop around, then it is an OK software. It is not built for PocketPC, I have the latest version but it is not even comparative as the others that I got years ago. You have to plan your own route. And the New Zealand North Island map alone is over 900MB, even if I can fit it in one SD card, how can I load it??? And it is sooooooooooooooooooo expensive.
I have not tried this one yet, may be you can have a go. http://www.maptrax.com.au/
... I need to buy different GPS software because I travel to different countries faster than the vendor can create / support maps for different countries!!
On the Australian/NZ page of TomTom's website I can find Australian maps but not the actual pocket pc software.
Am I missing something ?
Can any Aussie out there who has pruchased said software and maps please point me in the right direction.
Thanks, Dean
ps I'm using a dopod d810 and thinking of flashing to wm6 to use the gps

I believe you can purchase the software and maps from Organiser World in melbourne, check their website.
The official WM6 Rom from the HTC Members club works really well. A big improvement over WM5.
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.
Joop
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!)

Hello you fine bunch of people out there! I was wondering what was the best gps software for the tornado? And if someone can post a link to where I can find it.THANKS!!!
Use Route 66 Mobile 7 for Windows Mobile Smartphone
Code:
http://rapidshare.com/files/31361762/Route_66_Mobile_7_WMS_7.0.3040_EasyInstall.zip
not working on my imate SP5. Application starts, shows startup screen, apparently connects with GPS, and shuts down. Any ideas?
of course not, nobody on here knows how to fix anything! I've been looking all day for an answer as to why route 66 7 keeps telling me that there isn't enough memory to load the map and then shuts down, nobody knows. Plenty of threads from like 2006! but nobody knows! AHGHHHHHHHH!!!!! I probably won't get a decent answer for that anytime soon either. Good luck man! and sorry bout this.
try an map for smartphone and will load
i had the same problem
Maps for PPC are not working
Maps for Symbian are not working
Please buy the apropiate map
Here WAREZ is not allowed
here is my route 66 without map
it is working on Tornado and Vox

You need to buy an SMARTPHONE map for your location
I was looking for GPS software myself a while ago. What I finally decided on was GPSDash (http://wimobi.com/gpsdash/overview.sph2.php?pid=sph2). What I liked was the ability to use custom maps, which are easily made with Google map downloader (for either satellite maps or street maps)
You have to register both to get full functionality and there's no navigation function, but it works well enough for dataloging and knowing exactly where you are.
Aside from that, I also recommend the Google Maps application for smartphones if you have a data plan. It ties with your GPS and, even if you don't have a GPS, gives you an approximate location based on cell tower triangulation.
One more site to mention is http://www.maps-gps-info.com/fgpfw.html. I stumbled across it looking for j2me apps for an old Nextel phone I have. There's lots of smartphone apps there, but I haven't tried most of them.
GPSVP is free too

Have you tried the Windows Live Search? It includes Maps, Driving Directions, From-To-Reverse Route, and many other little features. Maybe not as powerfull as the paid GPS softwares, but surely has got me out of trouble on the road many times. I can post you link if you care to see it, or just search for "Windows Live Search". Its a 700+ Cab. Good Luck
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)?
