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.
Ok guys i live at A
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&s...75376&sspn=0.001557,0.005257&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=18
According to IGO 8 im stood at B...when im stood at A, what can possibly cause this ?
Am i right in thinking the correct GPS settings are...
port : 4
Baud Rate 57600
?
It's possible that you haven't moved around enough. GPS get's more accurate when you move.
Is the iGo8 working with TP? My friend told me,that everything works correctly until he wants to switch on the GPS. Then the program crashes. I am using TomTom,problemless with much better detailed maps. Btw,the speed should be 9600kbps - perhaps,try it.
iGO8 is running fine on my TP, GPS and all.

What gps settings do you use ? i updated the quick GPS and using baud rate to 38400 and it seems to be working...i think
Port 4, Baud Rate 4800
I've tried to install it and it didn't run at all..crashed before it started had to sell it and buy Garmin Mobile XT (Maps of Slovakia are really bad in TomTom)
Hey mate,which version of TomTom do you use? I have TT7 and I can say,that the Slovak maps are the best I ever seen. IGo8 isn't so detailed as TT7. It seems to be some corrupted IGo8 packages distributed aroud us or our Slovak ROMs are a bit crazy. Though I didn't try it,but my friend has the same problems as you. iGo8 crashes him.
Hello TomasNM ,
You have TT7 working on TouchPro ?
I have a lot of lag with it...maybe you can help...
I have TT_Nav_7.450.9028_repack3-vga-black.cab downloaded here http://htc-diamond.sosref.com/?
1.what version do you use ?
2.where dis you install it ? internal menory ou microSD ?
Thx.
I am using this version:
Western and Central Europe v720.1803
TomTom Navigator 7.450 (9028)
These are names of the directories on the DVD I get from my friend. I don't care,where it is from. Yes,is working with 50m lag,but that's not a problem for me.
Hi, thanks for feeback
Did you try pedestrial use ?
Today I have made a test in car with TT on the memory card and it is quite perfect. But in pedestrial use it is extremely slow. I think it didn't detect the "low" speed movement.
When you get a fix,you can walk with GPS and normally the receiver can get position and direction of your walking. Maybe TomTom makes problems. I tried that with BeelineGPS.
i am tired of trying to make tomtom work on my samsung jack. there must be a navigation software that is made for smartphones?!?!
thanks,

Sorry to say, I have yet to get Garmin, TomTom, Route 66, and a few others to work, but I am going to try again now that I have unlocked it and will let you know how that goes.
On that note Google and Windows live do work as well as GPSed (which didn't find gps before unlocking, needs data to check subscription I think otherwise no data, but no maps either) work, but with a data plan.

pocket Streets and trips 2006 will now run on my unlocked device but can't find the gps device. I installed 2006 on the jack, and 2009 and 2004 on my pc, copied the map data from 2009 to 2004 to export "new" maps to PPC. Sounds complicated but its easy. So I can see maps but still no gps
what device do you have? someone helped me figuring out how to use tomtom on my LOCKED att samsung jack. i got tomtom 7 to run, see the map but crashes do to not enough memory...
thanks,
G

Samsung i617 GPS working
Unfortunately I lost my Excalibur...
I bought a Samsung i617... just to have sth. similar but cheaper than my Excalibur.
Manual and seller said it had no gps features, but accidentally found a forum saying it has... and should be activated with the proper software.
I downloaded Garmin XT for WM, and followed instructions from a tutorial (google "i617" and "Gps" "activation"), most of the hits have links to download the right apps.
HI
i am looking for a gps software.
I was ready to buy copilot 8, i used to have version 7 and was quite happy with it. Then I realised that copilot 8 for HD2 is a "special" version.
For example there is traffic info with it. Is that correct?
I dont want to blame the development before it happend, but i very suspicious that they will put effort on this version when they have already a general windows mobile version.
so I look at igo8 but
1) how to buy it, the only site i found is to buy a card... Do i need to buy the card, then do some magic to put it on my own card.
2) it seems that to get it working is quite difficult from the number of post so what are the chances for an average guy ?
3) not sure if TMC is working or not, i found post stating both.... and is it free or a subscription ?
i dont want to start a thread " i have the best ..." but any advice for a gps with traffic info with european maps will be welcome.
thanks
it does work with some effort
I do not use TMC so no help there I saw the thread that supposedly says you can make TMC work. when I get time I will try it out but I manage with out it.
BUT I was able to load "Nav N GO" version 8.3.4.102680 on my HD2 and it is great.
the GPS lock some times as fast as 2 sec. flat. (on my old tilt it never took less the a minute from cold start.)
FYI> my program is a cracked version because I was not able to get an upgrade from my original 8.0 version soft. (yeah I do not want to by the card since I want to use a lot of maps and the only version you can by is on the 4Gb card (my map folder only is 4Gb ))
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.
O2 Xda Orbit 2 (HTC Polaris)

igo8 fine
Igo 8.0.0 with full EU maps, works as charm
Maps are on micro-SD card, no problem with updating.
Tried CoPilot - came preinstalled. - Not so good...
Thinking to buy I go Primo
Sygic Mobile Maps 10. The best for all the little roads that wonõt show up on tomtom. Has the whole europe on 2Gb
Well there is only one that does it all for me and that is Navigon.
Igo8 - sometimes gives out of memory errors
Primo - perfect but there is only a data zip for landscape mode
Ndrive - perfect
garmin xt - bit old now, but all good

With WM6.5 Rom and over 40MB free RAM this Error no Problem.
TTS enable needs more then 48MB free RAM
Israel:
Waze
WM6.5
free, pretty stable.
I think the guys are expanding to other countries.
