Anyone know if TomTom 6 will work with the SP5m(Tornado)? If not, can anyone recommend a good GPS program for this phone?
Thanks
tomtom is a gps program?
you need a gps reciver, preferably bluetooth.. it works yes. but you'll need fake cursor or a program like that.
i prefer tomtom 5. its a lot eaiser on the tornado.
not for long though because i just bought the touch dual, wooohoo.
Ya, maybe I will get version 5 too. When you say easier on the tornado, i guess you mean on the system resources? Also, why would I need a fake cursor? What is it?
Btw, congrats on the new phone! Very nice
tomtom 6 doesnt support the smartphone, only pda, i think.. but it still works... to change the settings in tomtom and enter destinations etc, you need a cursor like a pda or touch screen. so if you get a cursor thats controllable by the tornado joystick it will work..
tomtom 5 supports the smartphone and you can just use the buttons, so thats why its easier..
heres an old thread about tomtom on the tornado http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=318489&highlight=tornado+tomtom

I've tried both Helmis and Ibashas 3.5 ROMS and they are brilliant, but I have one issue with both that I cannot solve.
How do I configure TT6 with BT GPS - I also use a BT headset.
Tried to follow the "old" TT5 manual for Universal and TT5 from this forum, but I cannot select outgoing port to 8.
I've tried outgoing port to 4 and program port 5 and it works ok.
Problem arises when I pair my BT headset also, if it is switched on, when I start TT there is no connection to the GPS, and consequently TT cannot find any satelittes.
Switch off the headset and restart TT and everything is fine again.
A few times it has happened that I get the BT pairing dialog box up after a while with TT started (headset on!) and has entered the passkey again.
So I wonder what settings I should use to be able to use both BT headset and TT6 with a BT antenna, anyone seen/solved this??????
I've tried 2 dif. BT headsets and 2 diff. GPS mice with both ROMS.
Best regards

Nobody experienced this or know how to solve it?
Waiting....
Ok, so nobody knows?
I will try on Buzznet then.

I read in tom tom website, tom tom 6 is not compatible with all device. For example in my case, I use O2 XDA II . Unfortunately tom tom 6 doesn't work with my device so I still use tom tom 5.21
Actually TT6 works exceptionally well with your device, which is the same as mine! - If it wasn't for this BT headset issue that is, it actually think it runs faster and smoother than it does on my JasJar!
But if you want to run it in landscape mode, you have to have either WM 2003 2. edition or even better WM5 in order to be able to use landscape (TT6 doesn't have that facility anymore).
And then you get the issue with the BT headset, which I reckon someone must know how to solve, even if it is a bit strange, nobody gives me any answers, not here and not on XDA-Developpers.
I would so much like to know if this is a known issue with this device and WM5, or if it is too trivial a question for anyone to bother to answer??????

TomTom 6 works perfectly on my xda 2, you are obviously on about the backlight issue, which can be fixed easily
Ok, but can you use a BT headset also?????
I'd like to run GPS mapping software with driving directions on my 2125. I'm currently running WM5, but am considering flashing it to WM6.
I have used TomTom and iGuidance on Pocket PC (WM6 Pro) phones and that is the type of software I'm looking for.
I have a Bluetooth GPS and a 2 GB memory card to hold maps. I just need to know what software works well on this device. I'd hate to spend $150 for some software that doesn't work correctly on this phone.
Is there a version of TomTom that runs on WM6 Standard and works with the 240x320 screen of the 2125?
I use TomTom 5.2 with WM6 and it works perfectly, I here some users are using 6 with a patch that allows you to use fake cursor because TomTom 6 is touch screen only.
Hope that helps.
I use BT GPS too (Holux Slim236) with Windows Live Search. It has its flaws but, works fine for what I use it. Flaws: 1. Image doesn't rotate as you turn. 2. No audible voice alerts(turn left, right, etc), just a beep beep when aproching. 3. Requires you to be connected to internet to update maps. Other than that, I feel its a great companion to have installed on phone, even for reference only. Never know when you'll need it.
I use Route66.
I installed WM6.1 on my T-Mobile SDA, in few minutes the joystick for awesome (better than any other wm version) but after sometime the joystick stop working at all...and I need to restart my system to use it again...any idea?
Best regards,
thanks
use forum search.. exactly : weird joystick problems
I had a great little app on my Touch Diamond that enabled Bluetooth whenever it was on external power (great for linking to the car bluetooth headset). However, it doesn't seem to work on the HD2.
Having searched the forum, I found this update:
http://www.kixass.net/bluepower/
but again, it doesn't seem to work on the HD2.
I know I can create a front screen button to turn on bluetooth, but I will forget to turn it off when I leave the car, and drain the battery (senility )
Anyone help ?
did you install .net cf 3.5 on your hd2??
One of the first things I did !
Interesting app... did you change the settings to ensure that your HD2 uses net cf3.5 at all times? I remember that there were some registry settings that needed to be made to make sure it does not revert back to 2.0 even after installing 3.5
Thanks for the suggestions mouki and eskasi.
Used netcfcfg to ensure 3.5 is used by default (and overidden for the application), but still no joy.
I tried this on a Topaz running a Leo based ROM... no joy too... I suspect its because of WM6.5.... Was your Diamond running a WM6.5 ROM or 6.1?
It was 6.1. I did upgrade to 6.5 when I was messing about with it, but didn't test this app, before I reverted to 6.1.
Maybe Kixass, or some more competent techie than me is lurking, and will see this post, and amend bluepower for 6.5
Maybe it's because the HD2 uses the broadcom Bluetooth Stack, like the Touch Pro2 does, and apparently it's not a proper implementation compared to the original MS Bluetooth drivers and therefore some bluetooth apps break (like BlueInput.. -_-). I think the Topaz and the Blackstone don't use broadcom and so it isn't broken.
are there other solutions to this? I would also like to have the bluetooth on when the phone is on power...
Tomtom is OK

Hi, have you any problems with the bluetooth after the installation of tomtom?
Could you try, please?
Thanks
Davide
the tomtom work fine with htc touch2
You shouldn't post warez links on here or you'll get barred!
If you like tomtom, have a search for Sygic Mobile Maps 10 - it's like a newer version of TomTom, maintains its simplicity whilst adding a few extra features and being a lot smoother, unlike Igo8 which is just too complicated...
sorry for noob question
Why do you need bluetooth to use GPS program? You just need to insall the program you want and launch it.

hi, i've downloaded these files but i dono how to install them. there's no .exe
i see setup.xml and more files with extension archive001,002,etc.
I've got this HTC TOUCH PRO2 special edition (T3320) from INDIA about a month back.(if i'm not wrong ,it's called HTC mega in europe ?)
Device information:
ROM: 1.32.1300.2 (72483)
ROM date: 12/16/09
Radio Ver: 3.50.25.15
At present i've installed Sygic. It detects the inbuilt GPS on com4 with baud rate of 4800. Everything works fine except: It doesn't catch any satellites. i kept it on for more than 45mins but no signal. Is there anyting i can do ?... i've downloaded this tom tom to try it out.
Please help me either to get the sygic working or installing this Tom TOm.
thanks in advance n
regards.

Looks like this is only a theme / skin for QVGA devices. TomTom is not freeware, so you need to buy it.
From what I read so far:
MEGA is the code name for this device, it should be oficcially called "HTC TOUCH2", not "HTC TOUCH PRO2". The latter sounds like a completely different device.
The normal edition should be T3333, T3320 is a low cost india edition without 3g, and without GPS. So I guess without a bluetooth connected GPS mouse you will not get GPS. Maybe through the GSM + Google location services you can get a rough location on google maps, but nowhere near accurate as necessary for navigation (needs GPS).
Sorry

I guess he was thinking about a bluetooth GPS mouse, not about the integrated GPS in the T3333 / Touch2 / MEGA.
Actually also Wifi and GSM can somehow be used to get a location, but not really accurate at all. Not comparable with GPS anyway, and not enough for navigation.

That is called A-GPS or assisted GPS. Can be useful in places with bad GPS signal as extra help.
thanks guys for the info...
By the way, anyone know which version of map is compatible with the TOMTOM 7.916? I found it was not able to recognize my map which worked fine in previous version of TOMTOM.
Thanks!

Is your map activated? Or do you have an old map? There are many maps which work with 7.916.......all have different codes for windows mobile use.....
As example I use Europe 845.2647
If tomtom gives the bttrayce error look here:

Yellowfever is right: your device T3320 does not have a gps (built-in) receiver, so you can't use tomtom nor sygic mobile without an external gps receiver(connected via bluetooth)!
