TomTom Navigator problems

I have installed TomTom and tried almost every version that can be found on XDA but for some reason i get an error when i try to calculate a route. Every time i get an error message like "Fault calculating route". As i said, i have tried so many versions and even the one that was provided on the disks that came with my Cruise (Polaris) but i get always this error. Any suggestions?

After a few days, I had the same problem without changing anything! I also tried to install other TT versions but it didnt work.
My solution was, delete the map (in my case Benelux, NL + BE) and put a clean or other map back. After that it worked well! I hope this will help you! GL!

Good morning. May not be the answer your looking for, and it's not without it's own problems (you've been warned), but I'll mention it in case your interested.
I got my first color cell / pocket pc when Sprint finally released the PPC-6601. It had a LOT of problems, the biggest of which was it would loose ALL installed programs and data if the battery was removed. And since the device had TERRIBLE battery life, I bought an extended battery that wasn't quite perfect. HOWEVER, I did buy a piece of software for that device that has been a STAPLE on EVERY phone / pocket pc I've owned since... iGuidance.
Now, I'll freely admit I've never owned a Tom Tom device. Looked at them in the stores, played with them a little, but never really was that interested. Recently I tried a Garmin app on the BlackJack II I bought when my AT&T 8525 died. I guess it was ok, but I wasn't really happy with the interface or functionality, and THAT'S why I decided to spend the bigger bucks on the Touch Cruise.
Simply put, iGuidance is the best GPS software I've used. The route calculations are spot on, it adapts quicker than other apps when you miss a turn, etc. It gives you turn-by-turn directions including street names. And I believe it's tne best program for the money. I started with 2.1, went to 3, and now run version 4 on my Touch Cruise. It was somewhat confusing to setup, as you end up dragging an entire folder directly to your memory card. But with that 1.3GB or so transfer, you move the ENTIRE US to your pocket PC. No more moving a couple states, but what happens if you need to go somewhere you forgot to load maps for, etc.
Anyway, you might want to give it a look. Whether using an external BT GPS with my older phone, or installing GPSGate on my HTC Touch Cruise so iGuidance will work properly with the built-in GPS... it really is the only program I'd recommend.
Good luck!

see ur PM........

well, here in europe it works perfect.
u can try IGO but i dont know if they have us maps

Hey folks, I actually came across this thread by searching "tomtom sucks" in google, after being screwed once again by this *****.
Another thing that I found within the same search is reference to the Garmin navigation software, which I did not try yet but prospects are quite promising, including free traffic info via TMC and free map updates.
So my suggestion is to try that.

Navigon Mobile Navigator on Diamond 2

I thought a new thread would be useful because the other satnav threads are interspersed with different software solutions and I know quite a few people are anxious to get a working satnav solution on their Diamond 2.
I've dumped Tomtom for various reasons that I won't go into here so now I am trying new solutions and Navigon seem to be a real contender. If you have been looking into Navigon you will no doubt have stumbled upon the Touch HD thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446487 with the 3 hacked files to make it work on the Diamond 2's wvga screen.
I am working on the premise that the hacked files do not impinge on Navigon's profits and I am happy to use them until Navigon make an official wvga version. I am using the 30 day try before you buy version and intend to buy the full version if I am happy with the software.
I downloaded the trial software from their UK site and chose the ~400MB UK only maps. The software version that I was served up was 7.3.1 build 137 and, as expected, did not work at all on my D2. I assumed that the trial download would be the latest available and another thread stated that the latest was 7.3.2 and that only one hacked file was needed. I tried that single file and the program would not start. I didn't know what version I had at that point because the app wouldn't start. Therefore, I copied the three hacked files into the relevant places in the navigon folder and, hey presto, it worked.
It didn't find the in-built gps receiver straight away and I can't remember exactly what I did but I mucked about with the gps settings and had it working in a minute or two. It obtained a satellite lock indoors within about 30 seconds. Very impressive so far!
I installed the "Navigon Fresh" software on my PC and it immediately updated itself to a more recent version. It found my Navigon installation on the D2 when I connected it in diskdrive mode via USB. I tried to search for a more uptodate software version but whatever I did Fresh stated that I had an "invalid device definition" and wouldn't do anything. So I continued with the version I had.
The settings and preferences seem a bit convoluted compared to tomtom navigator, they seem a bit spread around rather than being all in one place. I guess you can soon get used to that. gps updates are quick, I would say at least two screen updates per second and navigation is easy to follow when in the car. I can't find a zoom function in 3D mode and I find the default a bit too zoomed-out i.e. it shows your route for about a mile in front of you - I'd prefer just a few hundred yards.
The screen is a bit stretched but not sop much that it is noticeable, the speed signs are oval rather than round but the whole of the screen is used up and it is all quite readable. The road names are a bit too small to read when driving but the directions and speed readout etc are all just fine. The voice navigation is excellent! The directions are very clear and precise for instance the lady says something like "in three hundred metres take the second exit on the roundabout onto Manchester Road." She sounds really quite human and not robot-like at all. One thing I don't like though is that it sometimes tells you turn left for a right turn off a roundabout.
I don't know about the full version but the trial version MUST have a working internet connection to start up so that it can check its validity. Therefore, no network connection = no navigation. This could be a real problem. All in all, so far, I am quite impressed with it.
Sorry for the rambling post but I hope this will be useful for someone who is looking for a D2 satnav solution.

The full version doesn't need an internet connection to navigate, once it is activated.

I've been using Navigon for a week. Good alternative to TomTom. The only thing I don't like is that perspective on 3D view is too low (no point in having the car icon in the middle of the screen, instead of having it at the bottom)

It's normal, right after installation, the GPS is not found but your offered the choice of configuring it manually or use the GPS Assistant. Just start the assistant, click no, no and okay and the GPS is there ...

Can't help you on this one, sorry.
But I'm amazed by everyone getting Navigon to run. Would you mind explaining step by step how you did and also what verison you're running? I tried 7.3.1 and I see the splash screen and then the program shuts down. Feel free to PM me if that's easier.

Can someone explain how to install igo to work on TD2? I have ver. 8, which is a year old, and it doesn't work.

how do u rotate? using Reg edits? try changescreen to rotate, MN7 will work fine in Landscape mode.
or if u dont want to use any additional programs to rotate, try launching MN7 from FileExplorer, not from startmenu..

Its much more easier to use g-Config than to add those pesky registry settings.
However. Navigon rotates now on my device but it does not rescale correct....
so it does rotate the screen but then its just a 480 * 800 rotates so i see only 480 * 480....
This is not really what i want i want it to be like TomTom. TomTom flawlessly rotates the screen for me....
( but tt has a sound and a gps lag problem !!!! )

Hello,
for well0549 :
"( but tt has a sound and a gps lag problem !!!! )"
Ok for the sound problem but its not a lag problem for tt7 on diamond 2 its the screen refresh because the screen its 3.2 vga so may be the driver is not supported in this rom.?

Downloadlink from Mobile2Day

Have also just downloaded and installed the try & buy version of Navigon 7. Only problem is that I can't see the maps on the screen. All installed to SD card. Downloaded the maps to go with it (Q2_2009 Europe) and placed them in the "Maps" folder in Navigon.
When I start the prog, get all the guff about it being a trial version and having 30 days to try it. It picks up 7 to 9 sat signals in no time at all and tells me exactly where I am. But the screen is totally white where a map should be.
Any idea where I am going wrong? This looks like being a great software packet and if I can get it going I will more than happily buy it.

I think this can happen in case of missing MapDrawer.nfs file (or improper version). This file should be in the \map subdirectory.

OK..... don't seem to have that file. Without the map files themselves, that directory is empty.
Thanks nunein

Beside of these files (and the map files) there should be 6 other files (*.nfs and *.psf) and the "Landmarks" directory incl. the file "Landmarks_EU.nfs".
So I guess something went wrong with the sw installation.

Once again, nunein, thanks very much for your help. Added the MapDrawer.nfs to the "Maps" directory and suddenly I can see the map. Used it this morning to get to work (I know the way really!!), and it was brilliant. Think I will have to splash out the 99€ for the activation.

Sygic Maps 10 & Android 2.1

Hi All,
I recently purchased a HTC Desire, and then also purchased Sygic Mobile Maps 10 - but alas, it's not letting me open the app. It opens, goes to black screen, then returns me back to my home screen.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Have you contacted Sygic support?
They must help you for paying customer.

You did install the maps from the PC and sync'd the device with the software...

Yay! I got it working. Thanks guys for all the help. I just started a fresh, dumped files on the card, installed the software and it works a treat!
Thanks again.

Same problem
Hi -
I just downed my 2 gig update to version10 file.
But I have the same problem after installation.
I mailed Sygic, but maybe you could tell me what you did ?
I have the exact same error.
Under the installation it did not ask me to remove maps -
So I did this by unselection in sync app.
Then install maps again.
And last installed app manually.
BTW im on the newly Android 2.1
Please advice

i'm torn between sygic and ndrive, since they are both paid apps, I want to be sure I make the right decision. any comments between the two? I tried ndrive for 7 days trial, while it works, the route calculation is not very good and the features are very basic.
I can't try sygic since they do not have trial..

I strongly recommend Sygic. I have NDRive (V9) pre-installed on a PDA, and I found that it has many shortcomings. Just to name a few:
- Its navigation instructions are not clear. For example, when it tells you "keep right", that may just mean that you should take the rightmost lane and proceed forward, but it may also mean that you should turn right to another road. The only way to tell is to look at the display. Furthermore, in some junctions it simply doesn't give any instruction at all.
- Its routing is not very good. I've seen it make various silly mistakes.
- There's no way to tell it to navigate to a point that you indicate on the map. You first have to create a favorite, and then tell it to navigate to it.
- The map of Portugal has many errors. While other maps are from Teleatlas, the Portuguese map is from InfoPortugal and is much less accurate. This is somewhat silly, because the software is Portuguese and I guess that Portugal is their main market.
I've had the opportunity to try Sygic version 7 (it was called McGuider, then), and that version was much better than NDrive V9. Sygic is now at version 10, which should be even better.

Copilot live 8 usa

Does anyone on here use COPILOT LIVE 8 USA? I have some issues and I wonder if anyone else can add some comments as to how to resolve? I have sent these to COPILOT SUPPORT but no response yet.. I am hoping to get all of these resolved:
1. I am alerted that I am at my destination BEFORE I actually get there. It also doesn’t tell me LEFT or right or ahead is my destination. Can this be resolved?
2. I tested 2 addresses today with COPILOT and a GARMIN GPS. The Garmin was dead on while COPILOT was lost and had be going in circles. This was while I was in a development with a LOT of little side streets. Can this be fixed?
3. when you get to your destination, it doesn’t give you the option to CLEAR the route. It asks me what I want to do but if I close the BOX, since I don’t want to do any of that, it keeps the route I am on. I noticed this as I use COPILOT to get home. Then today, I turned on copilot and it still said it was running the route to my house. I couldn’t find any way to clear it except to delete next stop. Then it cleared the route. I also see no way to click CANCEL ROUTE if you decide you don’t want to navigate to where you set. My Garmin has an "X" that I can hit to cancel route.
4. Program is missing a LOT of POI's .. For instance, I was sitting in a parking lot of WAL-MART which has been there for many years. It didn’t know this Wal-Mart existed. It did know about other ones nearby but not this one. Same with TARGET, I was sitting in a target parking lot and it didn’t know target was there.
5. Routing is wrong on some trips.. Sometimes it will tell me to turn left when you can't or when LEFT is the completely wrong way to go. How to fix?
6. I entered in SPEED TRAP DATA but it NEVER alerts me to any of them. I said YES to the fact I was importing SPEED TRAP data but it never did anything.. MEANWHILE, my Garmin did alert me.
7. It would be nice if I could pull addresses out of my EVO 4G address book so I don’t have to re-type them in and also if you could do voice entry of the data Like GOOGLE and SPRINT navigation already do.
8. It appears the maps are SEVERAL YEARS out of date. How do I get updated maps?
9. If I want to select a POI to travel to... I select the category, then pick my POI or type in the name.. Lets say WALMART. Then I find the walmart but then decide that wasn’t what I wanted. I then hit my back arrow on my phone and select a different category or maybe just type in a different name of a POI. When I then search for the new one, it brings me to the orig category and POI and NOT the new one. I have to completely back out back the main screen of copilot and then start over with finding a POI. I have to do this every time..
I hope someone can help resolve these issues... Thanks...

1. CoPilot alerts you with an audible alert slightly before the exact destination. I don't know why. But there is no fix for it, as I doubt they consider it a problem. CoPilot does not tell you that the destination is on the left or right. If you look closely on the map though for the destination flag, it will be drawn on the left or right side of the road. You can tell from that.
2. Read the review in the Android Market and Apple App Store for ALK's products in the US. ALK' maps are notoriously bad and out of date. They try and do their maps in-house instead of buying them from Navteq or TeleAtlas. As a result, customers suffer, but you also pay less.
3. ALK has known about this issue for a LONG time. I personally have sent the issue to them a year ago. The only way to cancel the route is to select the "remove next waypoint" option, or something to that effect, don't recall the exact name.
4. Same issue as the maps. They are bad. Try using the Google Search instead of the POI search within the app.
5. Buy a different app. The maps are bad, these are the repercussions of that.
6. Traffic camera alert functionality works. I have used it in the past. Don't say what you did wrong, but that function does work.
7. Don't hold your breath.
8. You don't. The maps are what they are. You can submit errors and they will correct them within 45 days supposedly. But when you are starting with maps as bad as they are, you'd be submitting problems every time you use the product.
9. Can't help you with that one.

What about the navigon app?

I wouldn't say that Navigon is bad. It is just very v1.0 as far as features goes. Biggest issue is that there is no app2sd. It is Navteq data so it is as good as it gets from that perspective. They have yet to announce a map update policy either.

Does it work in USA? I dont see USA maps talked abut on their site..

Yes, Navigon has a US app.

tried Navigon and it stinks. WHILE the maps and routing is better and traffic seems to be included, its missing a lot of things that copilot does.. the POI icons on navigon and the map as so small you cant read anything while driving. AND in 3D mode, there are NO STREET NAMES. You also can not see a list of directions so you do not know what route is is taking you on. It DOES have some nice features though, but NOT at $61.00 .. My issue now, is trying to get a refund since it took almost 2 hours to download maps which is more then the 15 minute time limit. In fact, once I tested the program for 10 minutes driving I decided COPILOT, even with some of its flaws is better ... M probably have to call credit card company to get refund...
is there ANY program that is worthy of buying for a navigation program? or do I stick to my old garmin?

Your main options are Google Navigation, CoPilot, Navigon or Sprint Navigation. I've used them all. I also have a Garmin 885t and a TomTom 740 Live. I've owned about 6 other devices over the years. I can tell you that Google Navigation is my primary GPS at this point. I like it a lot. I miss nothing from my Garmin. I only miss the ability to detour specific segments of the route from TomTom. I miss nothing from Sprint Navigation. I deleted Navigon. It took way too much room and didn't have app2sd. I have CoPilot installed as a backup should I not have a connection to use Google Navigation. I will remove it and reinstall Navigon if it ever gets app2sd.

im rooted so I was able to put NAVIGON on the SD card. I just dont like some things, which I mentioned. Im actually trying another program that has a 7 day trial and is free from the market for the trial. Its called AURA. it says it uses the latest TOM TOM MAPS.. I ASSUME they are up to date. it also has traffic and other stuff.. Looks good on the web sites BUT I havent tested it yet as I am downloading some of the maps. this program also supports APP2SD without the trick I did for navigon..

so I am playing with AURA but It appears it doesnt speak street names.. thats a deal breaker... I have a support request in to see if it actually does this. I hope it does. it is one heck of a nice program... IM using the USA version
EDIT: Looks like it doesnt speak street names.. I have a support question to ask about this. This program would be AWESOME if it did. its got the NEWEST TOM TOM MAPS and it does almost everything I want. the NON SPEAKING STREET NAMES is a DEAL BREAKER.. I hope they answer my question and fix that issue...

With widget locker, a paid app, you can put your calendar (or any) widget on the lock screen. I bought it but not using it. It has seemed a little buggy for me.

Thanks for the heads up. If S2U2 would port it, I would buy it. Hope there listening.

Sent them an e-mail a year ago. Never got a response. Android has it's advantages but there are still some things I miss from WinMo.

I also tried a few days ago, but have not heard back.
Even though I have an Inspire Im still on my Tilt-2.
Here's why,
1, S2U2
2, Garmin XT. (no broadband required)
I use my T2 mainly for business, I need the appointment notification on my locked screen, and my G-XT. If I can get both of those going on Android I would switch.

Yeah, there are things WinMo did that I still haven't found an Android app or setting to replace. Only been a year though, was on WinMo longer. Still get a kick out of my Stewie voiced Garmin whenever I fire it up on my eXpo.
Sent using the power of the dark side.

With an app such as "Lockscreen Agenda Pro" or "Lockscreen Agenda Free" (Free version has ads) you can have your appointments displayed on the lockscreen.
And there are a few good replacements for Garmin XT with Android. Sygic (sometimes called Aura) is one of my favorites. My other favorite is Navigon which is a Garmin company. And very comparable to Sygic. And my third choice is NDrive.
I still have my HD2 and have been a Garmin fan for a long time. I have Garmin XT loaded on my HD2. I also have a 7" Kenwood/Garmin touchscreen receiver in my Avalanche. But these other apps are just as good if not better and way more features than good ole Garmin XT.

agoattamer
Do any of the navigation programs you mention require a data/broadband connect?
As you know G-XT only requires a GPS connect, and since I do not have a data (dont need it) plan Im good to go.
Thanks for the Lockscreen Agenda suggestion.

All 3 of those can be used without data just like Garmin XT. The maps are saved on the SD card.

I gave the Lockscreen Agenda (free) shot but had to uninstall. It worked but I could no longer code lock my lockscreen. Also, for some strange reason it disabled my home icon (little house lower left.) The only way I could get back to my home screen was to use the back space icon... Tap tap tap.
I also have been playing with Sygic v11.2.6, and Navigon v3.6.0.
Sygic is iffy at best. Is a bit buggy and not all that accurate. I live in a metro area so its a good testing ground. The Navigation is a lot better in many ways. Its been spot on for now. Still, neither can compare to the Garmin XT. If I were going on a trip, no doubt, I would take my Tilt-2. While Navigon is running fine I still don't trust it... For now.
Note: Ive read quite a few reports that the Navigon v4.1.1 is very buggy and the last stable issue was v.3.6.0. They have also piecemealed the extras. In other words some of the extras that came with the app now they are charging for which is pissing a lot of people off.

I have Navigon 4.0.1 and Sygic 11.2.0 and have not encountered any issues yet.

Im not sure how much you use your Navigon but Im having a few issues. The first one is Navigon seems to be a bit slow on the start, even when the satellites are hooked up. I usually have to stop and re-enter my destination, though I only have to do this once. secondly is accuracy. Today I set it up for a location, again I had to stop to re-enter. It then took be to the wrong location. The actual location was about half a mile down the road. I had the G-XT running the same time. It had no problem running right out of my parking lot, and took me to the correct location.
