Evening guys.
Ok, think I have sealed my own fate to some extent here, but hoping there might be a solution.
I had a Kaiser which I installed TomTom 7 on using the hack whereby you buy the maps for the GO 720 and trick the Home app into thinking that it is a 720 (before the diamond maps were available - what can I say, I'm impatient! ;-) )
Anyway, predictably, I've now got my TP and have installed the tomtom 7 cab onto the device. However, it tells me that activation failed. I would go to the ttcodes.com website, but for some reason I can't find the damned product code for the maps on my tt account page (it says "product code , " instead of a number??!).
All I want to do is "unactivate" the maps somehow and then do an OTA refresh with my new product/device code. Is this possible?
To be honest, I'm a bit fed up with TomTom these days. I've spent literally hundreds of pounds on them over the past few years and upgrading on PDA is always either incredibly difficult or lags behind the TomTom hardware. If I can't get this sorted, I might just cut my losses and give ALK a new customer...
Cheers guys

what version of Tomtom did you install?? 7.450 or 7.451
To change is easy however you can only change your device once in 6 month period. in tt find your product code - press the satellitestrength button followed by pressing on version number. In this list you will find your product code. Goto tomtom web site, log into your account and goto change my device at the bottom of the screen you can type in your new device product code. once done, you then need to download your map to tom tom home as the activation code will be different within the file. Sync your tp and all should work.
let me know if map share and traffic work. I can not get these to work.
@ Xtreme - installed 7.451
@ Ardsar - THanks, but the problem is, I can't get that far. It asks me to choose a map, so I choose my UK & Ireland map and it throws up the activation error.
Thoughts?
cheers

copy the ttnavigator.BIF from the root of your memorycard to your pc and open it with Notepad.
now you can read your devicecode
have you contacted TomTom already with this problem?
also delete your map - it should then let you download a free city map if you havnt done so yet.
Aha!
I've deleted the map and downloaded the freebie. Will work on work on it from both angles.
Haven't contacted TomTom yet (was hoping to avoid the pain!) but will do if I can't get anywhere.
Will let you know how I get on.
Thanks

Arrgh! It now shows the map for download on TomTom home but says "This item does not work on your device. Therefore it cannot be installed".
It obviously realises that it's not a 720 but that's what the map's for.
Have you vchanged your code on tomtom website? The map on your pc is prob still for your old device. Goto my maps on tomtom web site and re download. (move your old map to an area outside of tomtom home just incase it goes wrong. usually found under my docs/tomtom/downloads (or similar)
Hi again guys,
Ok - checked the tomtom website and compared to the product code that's on my account website, but they are already the same? I can only assume that TomTom home synchronises the two?
TomTom home still says "This item does not work on your device. Therefore it cannot be installed".
Any thoughts? I'm thinking that even if I speak to TomTom, they'll just say I shouldn't have bought the 720 map for the Kaiser and just to buy new maps? Seems to be the way they normally work. :-(
EDIT: I should note that there is no trace of my UK map on the device. Just the fresh TT install and my free download map of my area that I got last night.

Just a thought - did you delete your maps from tomtom home and your pc? If not i suggest you try backing them up to CD or something, remove them and try again. I'm not sure at what point the activation code is generated - ie when you install or download. Failing this, i guess x20 maps are not compatible.
Unfortunately, if you contact tomtom, they will just tell you to go away as version 7 is not released and supported in the UK. Sorry mate, i dont know what else to suggest. I used 710 maps on my kaiser which worked fine, i guess the x20 version maps are just to different.
Delete mapname.meta.dct and reactivate or generate a new .meta.dct by using a tt8_keygen.

Guess you have a choice to either buy the correct maps or move to ALK. I have Navigator live 7 (touch diamond edition) and i was not that impressed by it. Scrolling around the map is very very slow compared to tomtom, and the traffic module is not user friendly at all and requires intervention whilst driving!. Also they use navteq for their mapping data however the latest map is about 9 - 12 months out of date, although some of the road changes that have happened in my area are more up to date. From what i understand, tomtom will be releasing version 7 at some time so you may want to hang it there. Somehow, traffic started working last night, so i am happy now!
Dear friends
I am new in the family. and bit lost on all the threads here.
I have an HTC Touch Diamond, and I want to ask, if I can have the Google Maps without connection to internet, meaning use the inbuild GPS device
activated through satellite. Do I need a program or so? Which one?
Very sorry for the inconvenience.
bump
i need to know too. searched forum but can't see any post on it.. could it be used like a standalone gps navigator? those don't have to pay for internet.

Just make sure you have an external memory card to store the maps; if you want your GPS software to work without internet than you need map files saved on your device...
Applications like Google Maps use the internet instead of your storage card, and therefore you need a data connection.
You should move this question to the Touch Diamond Board because you never know if the GPS is incompatible or has errors with your device
have a qeustion wil tomtom 6.030 work on touch diamond 2 because i have dis one all ready
i really hope its gonna work
tnx
hope somebody response
No, you'll need Tomtom 7, which you can get from this forum. Tomtom 7 does not work with your version 6 maps, so you'll have to purchase new maps. Yes it sucks. Also, you cannot move your Tomtom services, such as Traffic, over to your TD2. This is because Tomtom refuse to support the device.
Sorry for the bad news.
Personally, I'm so pissed off with Tomtom that I'm seriously considering using something else like IGo.
tom tom
yes i'am not gonna buy the tom tom 7 i'am really mad too
i have igo 8 also then i'm just gonna put that one on my td2
really tom tom sucks for not make tom tom 6 work on td2
thanks for your answer you really help me out

tomtom 6 with tt6 maps works fine on TD2, I had 6.75 working with all maps of europe.
Why work with tomtom6 when you can get tomtom7.9 with the latest 830 maps..??

Hey all! On my phone it is that version that works perfectly! If there are problems with the voices, simply copy the voices folder on your memory card!
http://rghost.ru/310020
I got ttn7.915.9196.vga_black_yarda working here perfectly with with Western-Europe 830.2307. It came in my All-programs list and i added it myself to the "today"-screen with comes with your HTC.
Hello
Where should I put the voices folder?
When I start the tt7 they ask me to add a new card, then I go directly on the website to choose the card I download it but then where should I install it ?
Thank you
Voices goes in the root directory of the SD card. Same as the maps directory.
Latest tt7 bought from tt on 4GB microSD does'nt install nor work

How did you do it, man?
I bought the SD-Card TomTom 7 with Europe_1GB maps (825 built 2159) offered on TomTom's website since some weeks.
Neither install, manual install, TomTom Home nor something else works.
The extracted "TomTom Navigator.exe" and also the Home app 2.6 refused to support my O2 TDII device.
Then I installed 7.910.9185 black VGA, but I was only able to download one city map. My bought Europe maps are recogniced, but rejected when I select it through menu "maps change".
How can I make use of my Product code now? Or is there any chance at all?
Please help, or send me some hints by PM.

You have to make a shortcut to windows\startmenu\programs.
You can copy the file and paste it as a shortcut to the programs folder with explorer. If you don't like the name "Shortcut ..." you can rename the shortcut to whatever you like.
If you now look at your programs than you will see your shortcut. There is also the problem of the clipped voice. You can run any audio program except Media Player with a silent audio file, then the voice clipping is gone.
You can also search for the audio problem fix. Someone has made a cab file to fix al the problems in one installation.

Tomtom 6 'memory access violation' ideas wanted!
Had Tomtom 6 (fully legal) working fine on my Kaiser. On TD2/Topaz, whatever I do (soft,hard reset, load from different sources) I get the same 'Tomtom cannot start: memory access violation' msg. Internet search shows lots of people with same prob, but no answers or workarounds. Seems to me might be screen/display related as TT starts to load but with squashed format before hanging. Reluctant simply to buy TT7 in case a) that exhibits the same prob and TT specifically do not support the TD2/Topaz at the mo and b) some people seem to have got TT6 working fine on TD2.
Any ideas gratefully appreciated- might have to have a look at iGo as previous poster suggested, which is a shame as have used Tomtom since v2.
Thanks,
Tony

Although I haven't tried it myself I believe it is mainly a screen size issue, if you use the "WVGAFIX3_BY_Cotulla" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455974 and change the res TT6 will work.
If you try let us know how you get on.
Hi, i started posting this in another forum here on xda but i guess it will be better to post it here.
I am looking for a free gps-system to my HCT HD2, and by free i also mean offline!!
If anybody knows a way to reset the trial on CoPilot that would be fine too, but i'm not going to do a hard reset...
I have looked in the post with all the apps for HD2 under GPS but i cant find a free navigation system. I have tried the NavyComputer and i love the way it works, but theres no GPS inbuild (unless you record a road and then play it).
Thx Qwak

i know i might just should buy one but i know that if i buy the copilot v8, in a month there will be a CoPilot v9, so im really just looking for some freeware...
I know that i can keep saying that there will come something new out all the time and therefore i should not buy anything but i just dont need a GPS that much.. its most for fun...
Use google because there's too many apps to post. Some work in the way that you download the maps off google maps and it uses it's program to navigate through them. Just search and you'll find it. Only thing is, you get what you pay for. Some work great in some areas, but others report problems in others.
well..
I did a google search before posting but it came up with alot of programs that used the 3g-network to get the positions witch is not free, nor very precise!! Neigher of the programs had a navigations-system inbuild so it was just to see where you were and maybe record a road...
I was just hoping that someone had tried a good one and would share that with us...
Or mayeb if someone had a list of available gps-programs so i could test them myself...
Thx Qwak
such I already mentioned before, thair are two difrent gps cistems thay who worked on a stand alone based, I will mean thay have there maps on your sd and don't beet a 3g connection thay works
ore the sistems like Google maps, it is free but it needs 3g and I don't see it like a gps but more like a plan who says where you are.
by the way I don't know about withc software application you was talking about but with my full lecence I have access on evry update fore a year! and if I will next yer also have the new updates it caust me only 35$!? so I don't think a really software is so expensive!
certainly not if you can bay you a htc hd2, bay a gps license will also work!?
and if you are looking fore cracks; you lost your time here! the ruels are clear here.
Don't use google maps, use Bing maps since it has actual navigation.
I prefer it over google maps, for now.
Bing is great. you can find it in Marketplace.
thx
Thx for the bing app, its surely better than googlemaps, although its on english... anybody knows if theres a danish pack for it?
I incidently re-newed my Copilot Live 8 trial by simply removing the licp8.dat file from the windows folder! Good luck!
I have OnStar and compared it to Bing. Bing seems (MHO) a lot better than OnStar.
1. Cost is free with Bing compare to OnStar $ per year.
2. Can set up route prior to getting into car.
3. If I deviate from route, Bing immediately does a re-route without asking.
4. Bing notifies you of turns 1/2 mile, 1,000 Feet.
5. When you are close to destination, Bing tells you whether it is on the Right or Left side of road.
Again, just my opinion, any comments?
Cheers
Hi, I just wanted to say Thank you to Megarock. Removing the icp8.dat file gave me another 15 day trial to play with. Brill
omg, IT WORKS
Thanx soo much Megarock, now i have free copilot forever!!
Though, you have to set it up again every time, but i found a way around that:
1. Delete the licp8.dat form the windows folder.
2. Open copilot and set up a new account and all the other stuff
3. backup the new licp8.dat to your memory card
4. when the trial expires just delete the licp.dat and copy the other one to your windows-folder.
(the one you copy to the windows folder is the backup you made 15 days ago, just after finishing the setup)
Hoped it helped someone
Thx again, Qwak
I had a BB 9700 until the other day (on orange contract), which came with free orange maps because of the plan im on. however i hav now found that said maps will not work on my htc hd2? wtf?!
Is there any way to either get orange maps to work, or install another satnav app, which wont charge me to use and/or download
Like i said only had the hd2 a couple of days (awesome i might add), so a complete newbie, so keep it simple please!

most HD2s come with IGO and you get a free map, but personally i didnt like it. you could try google maps, which will do navigation but wont do the voice prompted directions (you can download it by going to m.google.com on your phone). i use google maps for walking, and i have garmin mobile xt with the city navigator europe map (which ive just updated ). if you know where to look, you could probably get this for free, but that isnt legal. i dont think thee is a great choice of free solutions. you could talk to orange, and maybe they will give you some money off your bill as the maps service doesnt work on the phone
My hd2 didn't come with igo so where can I get it? Took a quick look around and couldn't really find a clear answer
waze, google maps, bing there are lots...
Legal Free Navigation
Bing Maps has turn-based GPS guidance. So when you reach a turn it will show on the screen. For guidance it's better than Google Maps, but still not as good as TomTom etc.
It's search engine and street views are good.

The answer is within google, sorry I cant mention illegal sites
With the right .cab, map, and keygen, you can get TomTom 7 running on HD2.
I use TT7, as I find it better than the rest.
Would give links, but it is warez.
