DAMN! Im 110% its not on mine
I dont have any GPS software on my device, that sucks!
Anyway I can get a copy from your device?????
THANKS!

I have a better idea. Why don't you check out this thread chock-full-o applications for the Diamond. Scroll down and you'll find Google Maps and you may find other things that interest you as well. As the Diamond is very similar to the Touch Pro it should work. I got my iGo nav software up and running by reading a thread posted in the Diamond forum. So if you don't find what you're looking for over here, try over there. You may also want to try Windows Live Search. I believe the url is wls.live.com which you can download directly via your s...l...o...w... EDGE connection. Let us know how it works out.

thank you!!!!
i got it on my device but it will not show my location, it says looking for satelite.
tnx again

Also, if you're trying to download from www.google.com/gmm, make sure you use pocket IE. if you go to that website using opera, it identifies itself as a desktop browser and hence you get the error.

If you haven't already then try doing this:
1) Run QuickGPS and download latest satellite data.
2) In Google Maps select Menu->Use GPS.
Be patient the first time, it will take longer than usual to acquire a signal the first time you use it. QuickGPS should help to acquire a signal faster. If you are having trouble then make sure you are outside or close to a window with a direct view of the sky to test it, but it will probably work in the interior of your home too.

Ok so I used Internet Explorer as suggested on the board and was able to load it with no problem.
Thanks again and hope this post helps someone else.

Where to download Google Maps for TP?

Hi!
Does anybody know from where I can download Google Maps? No, it did not come with the phone. And yes, I know that normally you get it from www.google.com/gmm - except that all I get from there is "Sorry, Google Maps does not work on your HTC TouchDual."
Do you guys get the same message?

use internet explorer to browse google.com/gmm
this is because opera's user agent..

To be honest I have never come across anyone who didn't have it installed as stock. Where did you get your TP from?
As for downloading it, you will need to search the forum and see if any one has extracted it from their TP as I assume it is a bespoke build for the software

no, it's a standard build. And there were problems with it on the diamond with it not shuttiong down the GPS properly and rinsing the battery in around 2.5 to 3 hours.
go to www.google.com/gmm using INTERNET EXPLORER and download the latest version!

EU units sold in expansys come without it.
I installed it no problem.

It wasn't pre-installed on mine.

agreed, its such a pain in the ass to find the cab file for the latest google maps on the gmm website

I'm not sure, but...
http://www.google.com/gmm/GoogleMaps.CAB
I just directly go to that URL with Opera Mobile (case sensitive!) and download the cab

Is the google maps install on the UK version the full version or still linked to the web?

GPS problem or Google maps problem
Hi!
With IE, I got presumably the latest version, which seems to be 2.2.0.19.
However, I can not lock into satellites at all.
Before that I had found one web-site that hosted an earler version that was very quick to find satellites - it just was missing lot of features like the favorites and was nagging all the time about updates.
So the question is, is this a problem with GM? Or the phone otherwise? Here are my settings:
Windows GPS settings:
GPS program port: COM4
GPS hardware port: (None), Baud rate: 4800
Manage GPS automatically: checked
In Google Maps, I've selected the option to get position through Windows (as opposed to manual setup).
Does anybody know any free program that I can use to check out the GPS functionality preferably in a way that would give some deeper access to functionality - like the traditional satellite view? Thanks in advance!

Forgot some details:
I've run the QuickGPS - hope that is not what is confusing the GPS now as I had just had a update before this latest version of GM?
Google Maps just sits there with "searching for GPS-satellites (0)..." and never advances the count from 0...

DO a search and you will find a thread "testing gps" where you will find a tool for "testing gps"!

Read the other threads on gps performance!!!!!
YOur first lock on satilites can take upto 20mins, even though you have updated quickgps. You need to be stationary and preferably outside.

Thanks I'll try that tool.
However, I did have older GM installed previously and it found a lock in just a few minutes. Actually GM doesn't even wait 20 min before it shows you a screen that says that it can not get a fix.

I bought mine from Expansys.co.uk and mine came with it, although that was before the price drop so they may be differant units

you got the UK unit, not the EU one, possibly

Yes, 1.90.405.1 is the UK ROM.

Same problem with the set I bought in Singapore, no google map included, and thanks for the IE fix, weird why Opera can't do it though.
Cheers.

I just wanted to say, that my Touch Pro doesn't have GoogleMaps preinstalled

TOMTOM home now works with Touch Pro

Hi,
Just thought i'd share the news that tomtom home now works and syncs with the touch pro, so start buying your maps!!!!
Download the latest version from Tomtom

thanks for the tip!
but I can't seem to get any mapshare updates....
will play with my settings to see if that might do the trick

I also have problems to get MapShare updates. It tells me that my maps are up to date. I don't believe this. ;-)

i get the same also, and all the tweeks suggested in the kaiser forum dont work.

now it works!
i've updated my version of Tomton to 7.451, and now tomtom Home automaticly updates my map.

Sounds to me like you haven't enabled map sharing in TomTom on your phone. I had the same until I did that, and now it works fine.

i've upgraded to the latest version, and have enabled map share in both tomtom home and on the device. I still can not get map share to update.

I'm not sure then. The only difference between what I said and just enabling map corrections was that I reported one (I have been living in my current house for >4 years and TomTom still don't have it as a valid address. I have reported it several times through MapShare and it still doesn't appear as valid).

Ok, i will give that a try - my estate sill has roads that don't exist and although they have been reported many times, have still not been corrected. The 7.25 maps still don't seem that upto date for my area!
Have you / are you using tomtom traffic. I enabled the month trial, and it appears to update ok, but i never see any traffic information on the traffic map. The update symbol changes to green after an update, therefore indicating that it has downloaded data. On the liscence screen, it reports that traffic is enabled upto 22/10/08.

Thx it works fine. I had 65000 changes for my 6.8 Europacard.

How did you guys manage to get Home 2.4.. to sync with navigator 7? Is navigator installed on the phone or storage card?
Mine is installed on the storage card and Home 2.4 can't seem to find it.

mine is installed on the phones memory. only the map is on the storage card.
no problems here with TT Home 2.4

You need to make sure that tomtom app is installed within programs. Depending on what cab you have used, it may have installed the application under a strange (german i think) folder name.

no id!
the only thing thats different is that the 7.451 allows you to use Mapshare with Tomtom Home.
I don't have a clu what else could be different (did not find any other changes so far)

I basicly tried every setting in Tomtom and in Tomtom Home, and suddenly it all worked.
perhaps a stupid question, but did you allready try to mess with the settings in TTH/extra/mapshare prefferences..... and what does it say in the bottom right corner: After this update ...Mb??
just press OK and let the update run
hope it helps!

MusicID (shazam)

Hi all,
From yesterday MusicID is no longer working.
I got the following result after it analyses music
Track: Ugrade Now!
Artist: Get Shazam
I got an upgrade link that leads me nowhere (this is not possible to go any futher).
Anyone knows why?
I visited www.shazam.com put there are no WM version available. But there are RIM, iPhone, Symbian, Android,... versions...
Any MusicID alternative? (I know that Samsung developped a similar application, available with the new i8000 Omnia 2)
Thx in advance for your help.

Still working for me
I hadn't used it in awhile, so I fired it up after reading your post.
It could be the version you have installed. Someone said that at least one of the versions was tied to a particular persons account, so that account could at some point stop working, but that's just a theory.
I'm using 1.3.16_QVGA by Lepsyfou.

try www.musicid2.com

Just follow this link: http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/08...app-ported-for-all-windows-mobile-phones.html
This app is even better than Shazam as you can sing or hum a song in order to find the author name and the title of the track.
It works just perfect on my Touch HD!!!

Great find!
The UI fits the HD much better too. The reg edit to make it work from the phones data connection as well as wifi is a bit annoying, but worth the small hassle
Thanks for the update Dino.

Works perfect on my TP2 as well

1800 link seems to imply its no longer freely available, and the downloads gone.
Its available free of charge here and seems to be most recent version, works perfectly on my HD2 without any need for registry hacks.

Come on you were a noob 2 at once, i wanna be the cool kid and show all my friends what i can do! ALL THE GIRLS ARE GONNA LIKE ME!

Dont we still need to pay for the service to view live TV using this Cab

Used 109484 cab posted and able to install to SD card. It runs fine and after the agreement it prompts for a newer version. I can only either update or exit the program. I downloaded and install the new updates it provided and this new version can only be installed to main memory. After launch it says can't find connection and just shut down. Anyone else able to get this to run on their non-Tmobile HD2?
