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.

Hello, I am trying to find out whether GPS maps not made by Tomtom are compatible. Tomtom certainly does not cover the whole globe and loads of regions are missing (Israel for instance where i need to travel next month). Is the Touch Cruise compatible with other GPS systems ? I am new to this andam not sure on how to handle this issue
thanks
Yves
I recomend you Igo 2006 plus or MioMap 3.2. I use it and works like a charm.

Thank you alinescoo, but can you buy a Israeli map for Miomap ? I found only US or european maps. Igo seems to use only their own microSD card which is not too convenient.
Does anybody know if the PPC version of TomTom 7 will goes out ?
Following some information's I've read, TomTom will not sell this version "in the box" but some company may deliver a v7 version with their device.
Also read that HTC will deliver this with the Diamond.
Thx in advance for your feedback.

According to Tomtom, the availability of version 7 is unknow.
However, some people have ripped the HTC Diamond version which is illegal and no new maps are available that works with the ripped version although some people claims that the maps of release 6.75 works but they are out off date. Conclusion: May be that you can get an illegal version of Tomtom 7, but it will not support the latest maps.
Therefore, if you want navigation with the latest maps consider to use IGO8.

People in the Diamond forum and Kasier forum have download and purchased the version 7 maps from the tom tom 720 and they work with the ripper tt7
--delete--
hello !
I have installed tomtom 7 and works great on my polaris with map france_720_1802 ..
Really speed this tomtom, but i try igo8 and looks very good with more options !
TT7
I've installed TT7 with the West_European_720_1803 map.
It works but it isn't Navigon (which I prefer).
kr.,
Frepke
TT7 works, but i cant get any 7 maps to work... strange...
I installed TT7 on my Cruise, it works perfectly. It even proposed me to download a free map which I did )
I found somewhere to have the western europe v7 also. Great day !

Can i install 2 Versions of TomTom?
I have already installed tomtom6 and now i want to test the version 7. But tomtom7 asks me, if i want to delete the old version.
Can i install both versions? i dont want to delete the version 6.

No you cant. But why do you want to keep version 6? Version 7 works better, works with newer maps... why keep with the old stuff?
I have TT6 running WE 6.75 and use a lot, so am more than interested in upgrading.
3 Qs
1. What are the new features of TT7? Is it worth it? Is it really faster? One feature I would really like in particular: does TT7 have the ability to give a voice warning of being over the speed limit?
2. Do we ever expect TT to release this formally for PDAs?
3. Do you also need to update TomTom Home to 2.x? (TT6 only worked with TT Home 1.x).
Thanks
Q1: you can give a sound to warning over speed so i guess a voice too.
Q2&Q3 dont know

Hi,
I have it running on the poor mans Polaris (Artemis) and it works just as well as TT6.
1. The new features I have noticed are
i You can now disable auto zoom, so you can set a zoom level you like and it won't change.
ii You can set a warning both for going over the speed limit or for a speed defined by you.
iii You can change the pointer to your car of choice.
iv It displays the road you are on as well as the next road when following a route.
v the speed warning is now red background with white text so is easier to read (was red on blue before).
vi Has access to MapShare (I can't get this to work as I have it installed purely on my SD card but other forum users report it works).
2. No idea.
3. You need to use TT Home ver 2.3
Overall it is not a major improvement on TT6 but there are a few bits. Due to the size of its installation (over 12mb) I can't fit it on my device storage but it runs fine on the SD card. However, this does prevent it from connecting to TT Home. However, I intend to change my Artemis for a MDA Compact IV or an Orbit 2 so that problem should be easy to fix.
Regards
Thanks spangelsaregreat and le poulpe for replies.
As I use mine in my pocket via earplugs on my motorbike, and hence never look at the screen (and hence my interest in voice/audio features) it doesn't look like there is much more in TT7, except of course the speed warning.
just tested tomtom v7.450.9028 on my polaris with tt7.20 and tt7.15 maps. it works great and even faster then tomtom6
I got my D2 one month ago but, till now, it has been not possible to install any navigator. I tried copilot live, coming in bundle with the phone, then I tried Navigon in demo version (30 days), but no one worked. I don't get any error message, simply, after the installation, the program doesn't start and freezes the phone. I tried to do a hard reset and I reinstalled it, with no other programs than the default ones, with the same, bad results. Can someone help me?
IGO and Mobile XT can run on my topaz with WM 6.1 and WM 6.5(Tom Topaz ROM)
iGo 8 and TomTom 7 work just fine and are probably the best navigation software at the moment...
Im running TT7 and Mobile XT works like a charm
using NDrive...and works very well
TomTom, iGO8 and iGO amigo
See my signature. all 3 working fine, TT is a little bit stretched out because of the WVGA screen but works fine.
iGO 8.3.x Fatal Error - Exception: 0xc0000094 At address: 0x03fad178
Hi all,
Meanwhile I've tested some different iGO 8.3.x builds (83157/87762/91972/92992) which all use to crash (sooner or later) with the same error message (as mentioned above).
This happens sometimes every 5 minutes or it doesn't happen for a couple of days (with trips not longer than around 30 minutes).
At one day for instance I had 4 crashes on my way to a customer (around 240 km) and "only" one on my way back (and this one after 10 minutes of travelling and then no crash for two hours).
I've tried different skins (or the default one) as well as different settings concerning the terrain details.
Sometimes it seemed to me to happen quite offen when I was receiving a call. But today I was navigating for two hours and received many calls without any crashes.
I would be very thankful for every helpful hint. Probably somebody of you could tell me about a iGO package (build/data.zip/branding.zip/skin/sys.txt) that is working ok with a TD2.
By the way: I'm using TMC with a GNS TrafficBoxplus FM9BT-Y.
AutoMapa
Navigation system AutoMapa Europa XL 5.5 works very good on Topaz. It is best like igo8 .
TomTom and TD2 no GPS
What settings to use to get GPS working with TomTom?
It´s works fine with Google Maps and IGO..

Hi
I have managed to install at the same time IGO 8, TomTOM, Garmin mobile XT and Sygic, all working OK
Maurolon
Navigator for Topaz
I have been using TT7(v.7.915.9196) and iGo8(v.8.3.2.71348) from my Diamond, Blackstone and my Topaz but i find Copilot 7 more compatible with this device, no lag and small memory footprint.

I had a lot of trouble with Copilot: the trial version didn't make a difference in types of roads. It sends me through sandroads and living-areas where it doesn't need to. I prefer Tomtom but the lag problem gave me troubles also (tt giving wrong speeds, stopping to work and needing a restart, wrong positioning).
I now use Igo8 and that's the 1 that works fine for me! (but al small lag also).
I use Destinator 7 and it works fine.

Haven't you forgotten something? As far as I know, TT doesn't work in the official version which is offered by TT on their website e.g. on microSD.
This means one has to rely on a cracked version to make it run on D2 or its T-Mobile clone.
Or has TT lastly presented a legal version to be run on Topaz?
I'm struggling with this too and I think I will have to use hacked maps until it's officially supported. Reason being is I am not being given an activation code as I downloaded directly to my TD1 using the officially supported software
What TT7 version and maps are you guys using? PM links please?
Navigon works fine
I've got Navigon MN7.4.2 build 802 with Q2-Europe maps running fine on it. Only mistake it has is, that road signs with lots of names on not fit perfect. Means the names not all fit on the sign, but this doesn't matter for me ^^
I'm running Garmin Mobile XT (v5.00.20) with no problems . Speech works fine, but yet to try it via bluetooth.
I have installed on my TD2 TomTom 7.915 and Copilot
Live 7. Both work on the device but for me Copilot is more compatible with TD2.
I have used destinator 8,miomap,polnav,garmingoogle mapsmapmy india and garmin all working gr8
I have tomtom navigater 6 I used on an old phone with WM5.
Reading various thread it apears people have been having problems with older versions of TT7, but I can't find anything about TT6.
Will I encounter problems if I try to load this onto my HD2.
It works kinda. YOu have to install the WVGAFIX (search the forum). It worked (kinda) on my X1 and also with my HD2 (just installed on both because I was curious) - but I don't want to use it because the investment for TT7 or MN7 is really worth it. TT6 is definitely not at all the optimal solution for HD2.
Try googling GPS underground they advise loads on Tomtom and compatibility
iGo is the best but wouldnt say no to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHB_8_4cBw4
why care tom tom if may or may not causing a problem while you have other options with may not causing the problem
Hi Taliz
Installed TT6 on my XDA11 and XDA11I worked fine without any other 3 party apps/progs or tweeking. Now have TT7 on my HD2 the only prog I had to get was for the full 7 digit GB postcodes to work once installed no bother.
Huntersbane
Hi me again.
TT6 worked for me but kept freezing on my XDA 11I so upgraded to 7.9 and worked fine.
As I said now have the same TT7.9 on my HD2. Works a treat.
Huntersbane
seems you solved, but for other users.. HERE the HD2 tomtom 7.9 thread, the software is downloadable for free..license is required for maps
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)
Igo 8
Destinator 7
Ndrive is working perfect as well
How that?
