Hi all,
has anyone got rds-tmc (live traffic updates through the radio receiver) working with tomtom? if so, what version of tomtom are you using?
if not, are there any nav software packages that will do this on the awesome Raph?
While the Raphael can read FM-RDS signals, I don't think it has been set up to get TMC data.
You can use Garmin Mobile XT which offers free traffic information downloaded via your data connection (3G, EDGE, etc).

Hi all, I have been searching everywhere for a GPS software that incorporates traffic data into its route planning. However, it seems that none exists in the USA. But I know for a fact that Acura cars have this feature. Where can I find such software? Thanks!
Take a look at Route 66 Navigate. The latest update to this software claims to accept TMC data from the internet (i.e. over GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA) or via RDS (if your GPS hardware supports that).
Hi. i am kinda new to the Windows Mobile realm. i have an E-TEN G500 (owned it for 6 months at this point) and i really like it. i love the fact there is a satellite reciever integrated into it. i use TomTom 6 everyday, but was wondering about satellite radio.
I read in a review that i can use the receiver in my pocket pc phone to access satellite radio simultaneously with satellite GPS since the receiver my phone uses can recieve up to 20 channels. i tried searching for software but they require a data internet connection since the software only accesses the internet radio services of XM and Sirius. i don;t have a very good data plan and my data network type sucks (GPRS.. ugh)
is there any software that can access the radio services using the satellite reciever only and not the internet? i want my pocket pc to be set up like as if i was using a reciever i buy from a store to get the services.
by the way feel free to comment if i have technologies mixed up and in fact you can not do both with the same atellite receiver and i was reading an error. i cant seem to find the location of the article but if i do i can post the link and quote it directly.
I installed TomTom in my phone but AT&T discontinued the data plans. Does TomTom uses data to work?
tomtom uses a gps receiver.. you don't need the plan
you will need it if you are planning to use plus services (e.g. traffic)
Thank you AthenaLod and nir36.
if i'm not mistaken though you will need some type of gps plan though......
(this is att's)

no gps's is free to any device which got gps
it's just a matter of recieving the signals that the gps
satelites broadcast
nobody can detect or stop you from reciving the signals
so no gps plan as it's not a product that can be sold
gps plans are only for online GPS.
when using a gps receiver you don't need a plan, only the receiver and an app.
well thats good to know......
Strange things.
My Touch Cruise with TomTom 7.910 (9185) connects with gprs when I start TomTom.
Why is that? Can't I dissable this? I'm going abroad, and the gprs-connection costs too much in roaming...
tnx!
Where did you got this version 7.910 (9185) of Tomtom ?
I am interrested in a .CAB so I w'll test it and reply.
Thanks
its connecting to update such things as tomtom traffic and whatnot.... i believe that there is an option in there somewhere to turn it off
With my TTv7.490, I have the same (GPRS connection) when I enable "Assisted GPS" in Advanced Configuration v3.2 tool from Julien Shapman.
Just disable this option.
tnx! this could it be, the advanced configuration.
I downloaded the cab from this forum. The rip from the diamond
Quote:
Assisted GPS, generally abbreviated as A-GPS, enhances the startup performance of a GPS satellite-based positioning system by using network (cell) data.
Therefore it needs connection via standard data transfer (GPRS or other) to retrieve cell information.
Don't know about TomTom, but iGO has problems working when A-GPS is enabled.
Hi guys,
I have some questions about TG01. I just have bought one TG01 with orange ch. They said me TG01 have GPS and A Gps modules. Before, I had nokia navigator 6710 and I could use its navigation option in offline and it could connect to satellite easily. There are no data transfer and no internet connection so no price.
But now I cant menage to use its gps options in offline mode. In TG01 box, there is a storage card and some codes on it. How can I use it and I want to use TomTom or Garmin or iGO in offline mode. Can I use?
Please explain this questions smoothly because I'm a newbe on this pda. And I dont know any pda language
Thanks a lot.
Tom Tom Navigator is usable with no connection charge depends if you are subscribe to their traffic option or not.
Orange one needs data plan option.
