Can someone confirm tomtom 7 for PDA

Currently I'm using tomtom 6, which I believe to be the best gps program around. However, the old maps are starting to annoy me and I have found a few big problems with them already. The new maps only work on tomtom 7, which has no pda version. With a search of all foruns, I found a post from two montsh ago (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1855454&postcount=3) where it says tomtom 7 will be released for sure for pda's. I really can't find any more information about this, can someone please confirm that tomtom will be released soon and I don't have to look around for other solutions?

As far as I know tomtom 7 wont be released for pda.
I have tomtom 7 on a pna and tomtom 6 on pda and believe me... the old navteq maps beat the living ***t out of the new teleatlas maps...
teleatlas maps are fine on big cities but when you go the small areas... street names are all switched, roundabouts where there are none...
it's just sad to see tomtom selling such piece of c**p maps when other pna/pda gps software is using navteq oldies that are far better...

what is a PNA ? im after tomtom 7 for my mates symbian 60 S3 phone, but cant even find it on the tomtom website

A PNA (Personal Navigation Assistant) is a dedicated navigation device. So it will not run WM (maybe at its base) but it's designed only to help navigate.

thanks alot

TomTom Navigator 7 WILL be released, however ...
It will be embedded in the ROM of new PDAs.
Luckily including Touch Diamond, so I would keep scanning XDA Developers for hacks ...

thats just dumb putting into the roms, as if no one is going to work out a way to seperate it!

That like saying you shouldn't lock your car because someone will find a way in.
I wonder if these new maps, that are no good, a being used because of TomTom's new "Reality View" feature.

Well there was an official product launch for the HTC diamond and HTC is not including Tomtom on the diamond. Rumours say that only the german O2 diamond will have tomtom included but there is no official statement for version 7.

Almost sure they don't release tomtom 7 for pda as they now have navcore 8 for pna. So if a new version is available it will most likely tomtom navigator 8 for pda.

Version upgrades for Tomtom :=)
see below ..

Version upgrades for Tomtom :=)
I believe the new version for PDA.s will be with us before X-Mas (in 3-4 month)
All those people who buy a dedicated device; have already. As tomtom has released
version 8 for their map-share and other technologies they need also need the feedback from the PDA guys and as HTC is rolling out so many new models they will possibly only release a version which runs on wm 6.1
i spoke to tech guy and he said something will be out in 3 month but we wait and see.
if anybody buys a htc diamond or new x75xx with mobile 6 (and the device has a gps ship )
please PM me as they normally ship tomtom tasters which might be the version 7 code..
otherwise I am running happy the tomtom v6.0xx with Windows Mobile 6.1 on a HTC 7500 and on a Kaiser which also has the ALK Product which ships from O2
regards

In Italy TomTom presented last version of Tomtom (for PDA) 2 weeks ago...
So I think we'll should be able to use it soon!

anybody an idea where we can find the latest version of tomtom for pda ????
(with Advanced Lane Guidance)
thanks

it's out
Tomtom 7 for PDA is out... but none got the crack yet

TomTom or Garmin

Greetings,
I have Garmin on my Titan XV6800 but when I go on long trips it seems to lag really far behind. Is there anyway to fix this to make it work betteR? Or I was thinking would it be better to put TomTom on my phone. Does anyone have any input they can help me with? I am using Reloaded 1.3.1 for Titan with Manilla 2D.
Thanks.

garmin was lagging pretty bad on my tytn II and touch pro before
i would stick with tomtom, or try igo if you have a chance

What is the best one in your decision. I like the Garmin layout.

Best SatNav application?

Looking to get a SatNav application going on my HD2.
Don't mind fiddling around a bit to get it running, as long as it works well (and not sluggish)
Which is the best one to use, as there is quite a few available for WinMo?
Thanks

Nice
I tried TomTom but coulnd't move it to another phone so gave up there
Route 66 had a problem that hampered journies. It always drove me down the smallest roads going, no matter what vehicle type I used.
CoPilot 8, so far, has been the best of the three AND costs less.

I'm using TomTom 7 and so far is the best. I've used TT6 on my two previous Orbit phones and TT5 on HP iPAQ 1710 and never had any problems.
But just look on websites,read some comments and I'm sure u will find right one

In my opinion is Navigon Mobile Navigator 7 a very good choice especially for Europe. It's also not too expensive. Used it already with my Xperia and now could easily move to HD2 (Navigon just gave me a new key). I don't have ANY problems with this awesome software. It is written for WVGA and it looks fantastic on the HD2-screen. You can load a demo at their homepage and use it for 30 days without any restrictions.

Does anyone know where one can get igo which I understand is supposed to be quite good. On their site it just says coming to WinMo as far as I can gather.
Some sort of trial would be preferable, but somewhere to purchase from would also be nice.

In Germany you can buy it e.g. at a little online-store called AMAZON... *KLICK*

I use IGO8.

I use tomtom and am very happy with that

I am using iGO8 works great in Greece.

i use garmin for singapore, malaysia, thailand, china, UK, middle east, japan, korea, taiwan, australia and new zealand, north america, and canada.

Copilot 8 is brilliant.
Though have bifg problems getting it activated atm

It's great, except it doesn't have a qwerty keyboard in version 8.

Tom Tom 7 rules on HD2 (VGA version) with cameras and a lot of POI's look for torrent

I'll give that a try. Is it possible to get traffic working?

But that's preinstalled on an SD card, not really interested in that. Only want to download the software. Anybody?

My beloved children...: Try sygic mobile maps!!!

Everyone will have their own favourite..I've currently got the following loaded (in order of preference):
1) Tomtom navigator 7.916...this rocks
2) Garmin XT...the live features are cool which is what tomtom lacks
3) Sygic Mobile maps 9..nice and simple,nice signs and a few extras
4) Igo8..will do anything but not the simplest to operate
5)Navigon MN7.4..traffic and live services seem ok but not struck on gui myself..will eventually ditch this...16gb soon gets used up!
I did have the installed Co-pilot trial but never bothered paying to upograde it as I wasn't that impressed with it when I tried it.
I also found it usefull that the first 3 apps will also happily let themselves be rotated using BsBtools.(navigon sort of manages it but a bit messily and the version of Igo I grabbed had a fit when I tried to rotate it..even its inbuilt rotate feature wasn't happy..)

I was looking for the Tomtom navigator 7.916 but I am struggling to find it, what maps do you need for it?

As the navigator software is quite a low level program it will only let you use the lower grade maps (not those that have IQ routes and ALG) which for the 835 maps equates to 835.2366,2394,2420,2421,2423,2424,2450,2482,2497 and 2501. The full blown 835.2419,2448,2451 and 2460 versions wont play ball.
For 840 maps the ones to avoid are 840.2554,2562,2566 and 2568

mate i am running tom tom version 6 and it iss running smoothly, had tom tom version 7. something and it gave bit of trouble with the bluetooth
happy australia day mate from Sydney

I used to use TOmtom 7 and it worked ok.
But I recently tried iGo8 and have to say it's SOOOOO much better than Tomtom...I have it running at 800x480 res and it looks amazing...you can customise it with different skins, themes etc....well worth trying

I am using Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.20wp
Got the Aust maps, Malaysia and a few other countries.
Got it for free with the phone when i bought it on holidays in Malaysia, used it few times over there and here in Sydney, works not bad.
Not as user friendly as Tomtom but gets you to where you want to go.

i had a quick peak at igo8 website and i couldnt see any AU maps? only euro/NA ? did i not look properly ?

Running TT7 on my HD2 atm. The BT issue is easily fixed by renaming 2 files.

You can use sensis maps with iGO8. make sure they are compatible with your version of iGO8 though.

hi
I’ve tried Tomtom IGO8 and some others
But THE BEST is Garmin Mobile XT 5.00
Maps for most countries, the details are amazing, for lan and lat u have more than 4 ways of inputs, u can send ur location as an sms and if ur friends uses garmin it will automatically run garmin and guide him/her and if not it will send the lan and lat so they can enter it in there gps device and it has maps for the desert and speed cameras weather flights updates........
Download the trail and see for ur self
Im using it in Saudi Arabia and its amazing

Sounds interesting. I am contemplating putting Garmin onto my phone along with TomTom7.

Hi there.
Just recently purchased and running Sygic Mobile Maps 9 (Australia New Zealand) and very happy with it. Easy to install, speed to load up, and route recalculation and POI's are excellent. Was about $85 AUD after convert from EUR on the local site. Download file about 200mb, installed to SD in about 2 minutes.
Cheers, Sean

What ROM to work with TomTom?;> 64MB

Elo all.
Its been a while since my last post.
Any advice which ROm would be the best to use with TomTom in 64Mb version of XDA?

i would suggest once of Tomal's WM6.5

i had tomal 8.9 and it didnt work ... i have "Not Enough Memory" error to run this apps .. i went back to orginal t-mobile 1.30wwe and now it rusn with no problem

Due to some unknown problems, Tomtom would not work on Tomal's 8.9. You have to use an earlier tomtom version, 6.x to get it work.
I currently use Tomal's 8.5 and Tomtom works flawless (7.450), even if SPB Mobile Shell runs...
Don't know on newest roms: I stopped on 8.9 version, WM6.5 eats too much ram!
Hope this helps!

Hey there!
I've got an Xda Exec (128Mb) and I'm thinking whether I should go for the lightest version or the most complete one. I don't use my cell phone a lot, as I have my laptop with me at all times, meaning that I want a good performance (have I said it all?).
I do use a bluetooth GPS antenna by TomTom and their software/maps also.
Also a (excellent!) Jabra BT8010.
What cooked ROM would you recommend?...
6.1 or 6.5? And among those, which one in particular?
Thanks in advance.

For lighter ROM go for WM6.1

WM6.5 eats too much ram!
