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.
Does anybody know if the PPC version of TomTom 7 will goes out ?
Following some information's I've read, TomTom will not sell this version "in the box" but some company may deliver a v7 version with their device.
Also read that HTC will deliver this with the Diamond.
Thx in advance for your feedback.

According to Tomtom, the availability of version 7 is unknow.
However, some people have ripped the HTC Diamond version which is illegal and no new maps are available that works with the ripped version although some people claims that the maps of release 6.75 works but they are out off date. Conclusion: May be that you can get an illegal version of Tomtom 7, but it will not support the latest maps.
Therefore, if you want navigation with the latest maps consider to use IGO8.

People in the Diamond forum and Kasier forum have download and purchased the version 7 maps from the tom tom 720 and they work with the ripper tt7
--delete--
hello !
I have installed tomtom 7 and works great on my polaris with map france_720_1802 ..
Really speed this tomtom, but i try igo8 and looks very good with more options !
TT7
I've installed TT7 with the West_European_720_1803 map.
It works but it isn't Navigon (which I prefer).
kr.,
Frepke
TT7 works, but i cant get any 7 maps to work... strange...
I installed TT7 on my Cruise, it works perfectly. It even proposed me to download a free map which I did )
I found somewhere to have the western europe v7 also. Great day !

No you cant. But why do you want to keep version 6? Version 7 works better, works with newer maps... why keep with the old stuff?
I have TT6 running WE 6.75 and use a lot, so am more than interested in upgrading.
3 Qs
1. What are the new features of TT7? Is it worth it? Is it really faster? One feature I would really like in particular: does TT7 have the ability to give a voice warning of being over the speed limit?
2. Do we ever expect TT to release this formally for PDAs?
3. Do you also need to update TomTom Home to 2.x? (TT6 only worked with TT Home 1.x).
Thanks
Q1: you can give a sound to warning over speed so i guess a voice too.
Q2&Q3 dont know

Hi,
I have it running on the poor mans Polaris (Artemis) and it works just as well as TT6.
1. The new features I have noticed are
i You can now disable auto zoom, so you can set a zoom level you like and it won't change.
ii You can set a warning both for going over the speed limit or for a speed defined by you.
iii You can change the pointer to your car of choice.
iv It displays the road you are on as well as the next road when following a route.
v the speed warning is now red background with white text so is easier to read (was red on blue before).
vi Has access to MapShare (I can't get this to work as I have it installed purely on my SD card but other forum users report it works).
2. No idea.
3. You need to use TT Home ver 2.3
Overall it is not a major improvement on TT6 but there are a few bits. Due to the size of its installation (over 12mb) I can't fit it on my device storage but it runs fine on the SD card. However, this does prevent it from connecting to TT Home. However, I intend to change my Artemis for a MDA Compact IV or an Orbit 2 so that problem should be easy to fix.
Regards
Thanks spangelsaregreat and le poulpe for replies.
As I use mine in my pocket via earplugs on my motorbike, and hence never look at the screen (and hence my interest in voice/audio features) it doesn't look like there is much more in TT7, except of course the speed warning.
just tested tomtom v7.450.9028 on my polaris with tt7.20 and tt7.15 maps. it works great and even faster then tomtom6
I got my D2 one month ago but, till now, it has been not possible to install any navigator. I tried copilot live, coming in bundle with the phone, then I tried Navigon in demo version (30 days), but no one worked. I don't get any error message, simply, after the installation, the program doesn't start and freezes the phone. I tried to do a hard reset and I reinstalled it, with no other programs than the default ones, with the same, bad results. Can someone help me?
IGO and Mobile XT can run on my topaz with WM 6.1 and WM 6.5(Tom Topaz ROM)
iGo 8 and TomTom 7 work just fine and are probably the best navigation software at the moment...
Im running TT7 and Mobile XT works like a charm
using NDrive...and works very well
TomTom, iGO8 and iGO amigo
See my signature. all 3 working fine, TT is a little bit stretched out because of the WVGA screen but works fine.
iGO 8.3.x Fatal Error - Exception: 0xc0000094 At address: 0x03fad178
Hi all,
Meanwhile I've tested some different iGO 8.3.x builds (83157/87762/91972/92992) which all use to crash (sooner or later) with the same error message (as mentioned above).
This happens sometimes every 5 minutes or it doesn't happen for a couple of days (with trips not longer than around 30 minutes).
At one day for instance I had 4 crashes on my way to a customer (around 240 km) and "only" one on my way back (and this one after 10 minutes of travelling and then no crash for two hours).
I've tried different skins (or the default one) as well as different settings concerning the terrain details.
Sometimes it seemed to me to happen quite offen when I was receiving a call. But today I was navigating for two hours and received many calls without any crashes.
I would be very thankful for every helpful hint. Probably somebody of you could tell me about a iGO package (build/data.zip/branding.zip/skin/sys.txt) that is working ok with a TD2.
By the way: I'm using TMC with a GNS TrafficBoxplus FM9BT-Y.
AutoMapa
Navigation system AutoMapa Europa XL 5.5 works very good on Topaz. It is best like igo8 .
TomTom and TD2 no GPS
What settings to use to get GPS working with TomTom?
It´s works fine with Google Maps and IGO..

Navigator for Topaz
I have been using TT7(v.7.915.9196) and iGo8(v.8.3.2.71348) from my Diamond, Blackstone and my Topaz but i find Copilot 7 more compatible with this device, no lag and small memory footprint.

I had a lot of trouble with Copilot: the trial version didn't make a difference in types of roads. It sends me through sandroads and living-areas where it doesn't need to. I prefer Tomtom but the lag problem gave me troubles also (tt giving wrong speeds, stopping to work and needing a restart, wrong positioning).
I now use Igo8 and that's the 1 that works fine for me! (but al small lag also).
I use Destinator 7 and it works fine.

Haven't you forgotten something? As far as I know, TT doesn't work in the official version which is offered by TT on their website e.g. on microSD.
This means one has to rely on a cracked version to make it run on D2 or its T-Mobile clone.
Or has TT lastly presented a legal version to be run on Topaz?
I'm struggling with this too and I think I will have to use hacked maps until it's officially supported. Reason being is I am not being given an activation code as I downloaded directly to my TD1 using the officially supported software
What TT7 version and maps are you guys using? PM links please?
Navigon works fine
I've got Navigon MN7.4.2 build 802 with Q2-Europe maps running fine on it. Only mistake it has is, that road signs with lots of names on not fit perfect. Means the names not all fit on the sign, but this doesn't matter for me ^^
I'm running Garmin Mobile XT (v5.00.20) with no problems . Speech works fine, but yet to try it via bluetooth.
I have installed on my TD2 TomTom 7.915 and Copilot
Live 7. Both work on the device but for me Copilot is more compatible with TD2.
I have used destinator 8,miomap,polnav,garmingoogle mapsmapmy india and garmin all working gr8
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.
Hi guys, just want to know what kind of gps software you guys install in your polaris, hopefully you are kind enough to share it here. I mean just put down the software name and country is enough.
e.g.
Malaysia - Mapking
Moscow - Copilot
igo8 - Israel, Western Europe countries, some Eastern Europe countries (Czechia, Hungary)
Sadly, while pirated version and pirated maps are relatively easy to get and use, getting official software is super-expensive, linked to a specific SD card, official maps updates are, in fact, more mess than getting a pirated set of maps etc :-( But overall, its a very good off-line navigation software. IMHO - one of the best.
I'm using Tomtom version 7.916 (9192) Western and central europe maps v840.2563
No problem whatsoever
The maps are on the memory chip
...what's the memory CHIP??
you mean micro-SD , I hope!
old tomtom...but why to change?
I'm still on a TOMTOM v.7.450... works very well, GPS fix is less than 1 min
I'm using Tomtom Version 7.918 (9193) UK & ROI v845.2667
Maps are on the SD card.
No problems.
