I have Tomtom Navigator 5.10 installed and running on my device, but with the Great Britain-Plus map. I dont live in Great Britain. I live in California. I have the whole program working fine, GPS device paired via bluetooth and it tells me my accurate driving speed below the map when I have it paired and TT is running. I also have the California map in the same directory but it is not recognized when I go to the "switch maps" function. Is there an imcompatibility between software designed for the UK with corresponding maps and North American maps? I have had SOO many problems with installing TT5 to my device and finally have it running (after having to perform one hard reset) but now I cant actually use it without my local map. Thanks for any help. I have downloaded about 5 versions of the map (some from complete versions of TT) and placed each one individually on my mini SD card (2GB) via card reader and still none of them are read. Please help me! I am so frustrated :x ... Thank you.
Hi dkseveneleven, as long as your map is for TomTom 5 then it should work, if TomTom cant find the map, usually its because the folder location and/or name is wrong. The map should be in its own folder on the sd under the correct name. I dont have that map so I cant help you with the correct folder name. One way is to look in the folder and have a look at the files extentions .pna and .mid the name of these files seems to match the name of the folder e.g "Great_Britain.PNA" folder will be "Great_Britain"
well basically i am facing the same problem with US maps and the problem, as i have found out, is that you do not have the correct version of the canada map.
for example, if you have tomtom 5.21, then the only canada map that works with it is the v5.67. if you have the a lower version such as 5.1 or 5.0, then only the v5.66 or lower would work.
what you can do now is to upgrade to tomtim5.21 since it is free and your maps will start working again as i suspect that you have the latest version of these maps.
hope that helps.
Which is the latest version of USA maps?. I have v566 but they don't work with the 5.10 or 5.21 TT software versions.
Any help??
Under my Tomtom navigator version menu, it shows that I have "App version 5.100 (5160) , GPS driver v1.20, Map: Great_Britain_Plus-Map v571.... So is it possible that the California map that I'm trying to use is the wrong version? I have tried to use every California map available through torrent searches, so I dont know what other options I have. I dont even know what version my California map is because I havent been able to run it to view the version.

That's exactly what I am exactly trying to find out asking for the USA maps version. Could any of you guys tell us the version of your maps please?
Just edit with notepad the file pna in your map directory.

Hi all,
I've been searching this forum, looking at many different threads, but I still can't find the solution to my problem:
I can not use the the USA maps v566 (regional and city) with higher versions than 5.00 of TomTom 5 (yes with TomTom 5.00 -bakonl version- but unstability makes impossible to navigate anywhere).
Could you help to find the right SW version (emule or whatever)?.
According to the forum answers it seems that there is a problem with the SW version when trying to open that version of maps. But also is shown that there are people with working 5.10 or 5.21 versions (stabel versions) and USA maps (version not specified).
If any of you are using the TT 5.21 with the USA maps, could you please post here the USA maps version?.
On the other hand, and i order to avoid references already analysed by me, I have tested all the workarounds shown in all the following threads (changing the CurrentMap.dat, having in the SD more than 1 working map, etc) but still impossible to manage:
TomTom 5.21 freezes
TomTom v5.00 with US Maps and Bluetooth working.....

I don't say this to be a troll - I spent a ton of time a couple of weeks ago doing the same thing you are - downloading every version (of both the maps and the app) I could find, making all the changes listed on this site and others, all to no avail.
I finally gave up and just ordered it - got the CDs, installed it without a single hitch, and it works great. I'd give you the map version that came on the CD with 5.21 but I had to hard reset this morning (for a non tomtom issue) and won't reload tomtom until tonight. I'll let you know then.

Ok thanks. I'll wait for your info then.
ok - for the CDs I received last week from tomtom;
Program version 5.21
Maps are v567
I would like to share how I resolved an issue about the preinstalled CoPilot.
I bought CoPilot Live 8, Turkey Maps as soon as I bought my HTC HD2.
I have activated the product, downloaded and extracted the Card Image as
described at the following address :
http://www.alk.eu.com/buynow/eu_download.asp
After that, when I tried to start CoPilot, I received the error below:
Data version mismatch The data in use is not properly licensed. Bla bla....
(-711)
Their support lines were dead so I had to wait for the web support to solve my problem.
After a day, they adviced me to delete \windows\licp8.dat, start and re-activate the product, which worked after a few attempts.
I hope I save somebodies time...
Regards.
thanks for the heads up.
good of you to take the time out to let people know!
I havent activated mine yet, but useful to be aware of this so I don't get stressed out should the same problem arise.
cheers
Just to add a handy tip for ROM Junkies using CoPilot:
Rather than manually activiating and deactivating CoPilot 8 everytime you wanna flash a new ROM, just backup that \windows\licp8.dat file, and copy it back into the Windows directory after ROM flash.
EDIT: Don't know if it's important, but having an Owner name that matches what was used in the License probably also helps.
Thanks a lot. This tip really helped me . I have the license for Middle east but while selecting the region after entering the license key, i can't see middle east in the list. I don't know how to get it
I am facing the issue while activating COpilot. I have bought the key for the middle east
version. when I activate after entering the key and the COPILOT ID, it asks me to select the region but i am getting the option to select the eastern europe or western europe. Middle east is not available in the list. Although the middle east maps are present in the SD card while installation. If I select east or western europe it gives me the error code -711.
hi could you please sent me the middle east maps. i am searching for a while.... [email protected]
If you get the 711 error delete the application, delete the data of the application first (in application management) and then remove the copilot folder on your SD card. That should do the trick
Re:
Solution works. Had the same problem with US maps, but fixed it. Thank you for sharing!
Like to get the Middle East maps got it for my Garmin just got Copilot 8 Live where can I get it without doing the 137 dollars price tag
thanks guys
I got into quite some trouble after buying Copilot v8 for my HD2 and the support desk was only sendling me 1 answer every 24 hours (at 4' before closing their business), which made ma wait for 6 days to have 6 questions answered.
Thanks to the above thread, I have a fully up and running Copilotlive8 now.

Just to give some background that after a ROM upgrade i lost the COPILOT so i downloaded the trail version by searching in the forum. when i am using it as a trail ... everything is fine. I can see the MAPs for the middle east and i can use them but while activating i don't get the region in the list to activate.
Have you tried connecting to Copilot Central 2? It might help sort the maps out. All I can think of really.
Where did you get the Copilot cab from? You could either use Dutty's, if you aren't already, or use the version that came when you bought the software.
@richardirv: Copilot central is not for the customized trial version of COPILOT.
@jay_BG: I downloaded the CAB posted by Laurentius26. I will try to use the one by dutty's and will see if it works. I will post the results.
Thanks
I installed dutty's package but still i am facing the same issue. It gives me eastern europe and western europe in the list to select the region on the contrary i have bought the key for middle east.
I'm thinking that you could try installing dutty's cab and ovrlaying it with the installation of copilot you got with the maps/license. That way you should be able to preserve any registry changes done by dutty's cab (pinch to zoom and screen rotation). from what you are saying i'm thinking that ALK have put in some kind of regional encoding, which seems strange to me, but what do i know about marketing
Of course, everything i've wrote so far is pure guesswork, since i don't have this problem.
Have you tried to submit a ticket with the ALK support?
I have already submitted the ticket with ALK support.
Earlier I was thinking that may be the intallation package may be different for middle east. So I asked ALK support to provide me the installation package for HTC HD2 customized COPILOT. They told me to do the hard reset and I'll get back my COPILOT and I am not gonna do that.
Now I asked them about the region after entering the Key.
I think the package itself doesn't seem to have problem because when i use it as a trial. Everything works fine and I even see that in the licenses, middle east is licensed.
While when i register and it gives me the option of selecting region, it gives me europe and for example if I register it for Italy, then it tells me to change the data region. from setting I go in the data region and I see that there is only middle east selected but in the licencing tab of settings, I only see Italy. Due to this conflict it gives me error code -711.
On my old HTC TyTN I downloaded Google Maps and had fun using it.
I've also been using it on my HD2 as it was already installed.
However, I noticed last night that I don't have street view which I did have before.
Is this because the HD2 has a special version? Is it just out of date?
If I download the lastest version will it work and will I get street view back?
My HD2 is un-modded from T-Mobile UK
ROM Version - 1.43.110.2 (70315) WWE

I`ve just downloaded Version 4 and installed it to my 16Gb memory card and works fine.
I could get streetview on my T mobile UK 1.43 phone by pressing down on the screen on the spot you want to view. A menu pops up which includes streetview, this was on the T mobile installed version of Google Maps
On v4, if you press and hold you get a 'tap for more options' box appear, from there you can then select Street View.... bit messy really, they should just put it on the + arrow when fully zoomed.

bcoz it's not v4 on the HD2. you have to install the current version
I've just tried mine as well and found that it has no street view. think i'm going to have to find a different version.
Brilliant.
Press and hold menu includes Street View. I forgot about Press and Hold...maybe it's because you don't get the silly circle anymore.
Now I just have to find out how to get it to change to landscape......though I rarely use it that way as I sit it in my car cup holder when driving
Does anyone know if it is the latest version on the one that is available from the openmarket????
i aint got street view either...which version are you lot using?
Streetview is also region specific....only select countries have it.
Don't bother trying other versions unless u are very sure your country has it. The latest version (v4) has it for sure, only point to note is whether there is Streetview in your country or not.
Just gotten the newest google maps.
Its has Street View, if you press an area for 3secs then selece street viwe.
Although I have found that if I try and use it the app closes itself after 20-40secs.
Anyone else had this problem?

Does you Google map close itself after 20 odd sec in street view?
Street view pic quality?
Anybody know why picture quality in street view sucks on winmo phones? It looks decent in iphone and android but doesn't look too hot on the winmo phones I've used.
I hate to have to make such a thread, but ALK (the company that makes CoPilot) has informed me of something that they have neglected to mention to anyone purchasing CoPilot Live 8 for their HD2.
The HD2 specific version of CoPilot does NOT bring the map updates that CoPilot advertises
They mentioned that while they have come out with updates for their maps it's only for the REGULAR version of CoPilot. For now, the HD2 version (which I'm sure all HD2 users have purchased) does NOT come with this. So what does this mean? You would have to reinstall your CoPilot program as a normal GPS program. Meaning it would not function with NaviPanel and other HD2 specific software. They are not saying WHEN or even IF they will come out with the updates for the HD2 maps, but in my opinion it's not worth purchasing now until it's fully compatible.
In my own experience. I can't say I like it simply because the maps and searches that I've done (on Live Search for CoPilot) are WAAAAAY out of date. I was looking for a specific hospital when their "live search" gave me an address of where the hospital was almost 12 years ago. Not good and NO excuse for such lack of maintenance. I'll leave it up to people here to decide if they want to buy it or not.
Timely but a shame. I was about to buy this as I've got the UK Tmobile HD2 just this week and it hasn't got CoPilot on it at all. I thought I could get the HD2 version from ALK's website (I think I'd save a tenner) but now maybe I need to buy the full blown version. Are CoPilot's versions of maps easy to identify?
Well, I don´t use the Navipanel since it´s a pain ita to change the backcover everytime for the car-cradle, I´m better off with the Brodit-car-cradle.
I made some fuzz at ALK-Europe for the map-update (I bought the HD2-version in Dec. 2009) and they sent me the original Copilot8 cab for install on SDcard without charge. Now I run the regular version and have no update problem with the maps AND copilot doesn´t eat up my valuable Storage mem.
That's why I'm using the regular version of Copilot on my HD2.
And it works fine.
I indeed remember that when I tried Copilot special HD2 version (trial included in my original ROM) most of the maps were out of date and wrong.
I can't see any point is using the HD2 version, the regular is fine!
I bought cp 8 when It came out, before I even had a HD2, (but was using the test roms)
navipanel seems a gimmick to me, something that I tried once and never bothered with again.
Where are the maps located? In the Copilot folder, right ?
So why not download the regular Copilot version (2577 + Copilot) and then replace just the 2577 folder with the one dedicated to the HD2 (downloaded separately).
Just a suggestion. Could this possibly solve your problems?
@Phenomenon - can you tell me what version of Copilot you mean as a standard version? I'm using ver. 8.0.0.659 -
thanks
Where can I download the generic version of CoPilot? I'm hoping to free some memory, try out the newer maps and upload my tracks with CP Central. It's not that there's much difference between the 2 applications!

Mmm. It occurred to me too but I can't find it. I can download the HD2 version but not the generic. For the former I was sent a link to the full version and just have to enter my details and download the maps etc. that I bought. Getting the HD2 trial is easy too but I cannot find the other anywhere.
ALK have supplied the links to the generic version of CoPilot, together with instructions as to how to install both versions from scratch. They were very quick to reply. I still can't find a link on the website.
Does anyone who has tried the generic version know whether it is necessary to de-register the installed version before trying the device-independent application when re-installing to the same device?
iGO8 people, iGO8!!
I bought the CoPilot 8 Live for my Touch Pro and then changed to the HD2.
But, after I installed the regular CP8 I downloaded the HD2 update software "found link with google in UK" and installed, I have the HD2 version and I do get the map updates...
This does work fine as I've performed the same thing above several times while upgrading roms.
On another note, the website says you can't switch your license to Android from another OS ie: Windows Mobile.. but I'm going to try to deactivate my license on CP8 in Win Mob and reactivate in Android...who knows hopefully it will work...

I'm sure that the web site said it was alright to move between WM and Android when I bought CP8 some months ago. Moving to an iPhone was not possible. I'll see if I can find the page in my archive. I can't believe that I misread it. I think the text is ambiguous now but I'm fairly certain it has changed as well.
You might try contacting ALK and see what they have to say.
