TomTom Navigator 5.21 - some maps not working

Hi all!
First off, im sorry if this isn't the right forum to ask this...
The issue: After upgrading to the 5.21 patch, some of my maps wasn't available any more! I installed some others without problems.
I cant get Denmark or Scandinavia to work - they simply doesn't show in to select in Tomtom. However GreatBritain, Belgium, Spain and other work sweetly.
Have you ever heard about something like this before? Is there perhaps any way to manipulate the Scandinavia maps to become "suitable" ?
Thanks!

Road map without GPS?

I've been looking for street maps/road atlas for ppc but can't find any, I want the same as the book maps you can buy in shops for £5, but for my ppc and not £££s. No GPS, no logging onto the Internet, just a map.
Does anyone know where I can buy or download?
Thanks in advance

you got MS pocket street (2001 : http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=125), the maps are on MS website
edit : url error

yeah i used pocket streets before i got proper GPS + tomtom

thanks,
downloading now...
only has town/cities far from me, i live in sw english countryside, so not much use. looks good though.

dont the pocketpc googlemaps show roads ?

yes, but according to the site data transfer is required. I'm in england on o2 which means £5/mb. I don't want to pay each time I want to view a map

Your best bet is TomTom or MioMap. You can use either of these as just the map without the GPS. TomTom even have some City maps.

the cheapest is £65 (and that one doesn't list compatibility with a wizard).
I was hoping for something for something similar in price to any map in a book shop, except be on disc/dl and be able to run on ppc

Try smart2go - http://www.smart2go.com/en/.
Free from Nokia, install app and maps via PC so no data charges and works well with wm5.

not bad for being totally free, very poor detail on the wide views and slow to move (hangs), but hopefully they'll update it,
thanks

TT Navigator 7 and HD 2

Hi All,
I see that many of you have TT7 working on HD2. Can I ask if anyone has official maps working?
I have TT 7.915 and V8.4 map ( purchased ( with real money! ) through TT ). This was on my Diamond. I want to transfer this onto my shiny HD2 but so far TT Home does not recognise HD2 as this is not officially supported. ASs this is the case I cannot transfer the account to the HD2.
I don't want to go down the route of 'unofficial sites' and I definately don't want to be stuck with CoPilot!!
Cheers in Advance

same problem here...tthome dont see hd2 and cant update maps

same for me too, does anyone have any tips?

Heeelppp !!!
I've just bought HD2 ...630 euros in Italy and my TT7 7.9 maps don't go... Say me Not enough memory !... In my Msd 16 gb !..
I have 1.48 ROM Ita.... Anyone can help me ?
Thanks in advance....

I just received my HD2, it's the orange french rom and tomtom7 is working ok.
Here is what I installed :
Tomtom 7.915.9196 + Carte Western & Central Europe 8.35.2421

I have an official version of TomTom but when I attempt to install it I get the following error message:
"Your device is not compatible with this version of Tom Tom Navigator!"

Hello,
I have A touch HD2 and I have the message "Your device is not compatible with this version of Tom Tom Navigator!" when I install the 7.916.9189 vga version but the 7.915.9196 works great.
I hope it can help you.

My problem is that I have a legal copy of Tom Tom map of WE but as TT is not yet supported on HD2 I have no way of linking the Map to my device.
All works fine on my Diamond but now I will format and sell the Diamond but want to link the TomTom account to the new phone...
But TomTom do not recognise the phone.....

for those who dont want to use copilot:
--> my device: HD2 bough without any branding, simlock etc, in Austria, ROM 1.43.407.2 (70124) GER
i got "Sygic mobile maps 9" running which is suitable for WindowsMobile, Android AND Symbian - at the same time, just different installers as it seems (only tested it on WM)
its VERY fast finding sattelites & finding the way (Vienna to Hannover which is about 1000km took about 20 seconds), there are maps for i think all over the world and the complete europe maps is 80€ (i'm sure you can find it as an illegal working download....)
this is the way i avoided copilot & tomtom...
hope you find a working solution =)

Tomtom v7.915 build 9196 Black Edition is an Unofficial version, but works on the HTC Leo (It show how speed is the community, unlike tomtom ...) It fix the BT bug.
It's for the moment the only way to have a working tomtom. But, as ever, maps will work only if you have the good DCT : a map will work for only ONE device. The use on an other device is forbidden.
Be careful : maps 840.2562 won't work on WinCE devices

Thanks, it works, no more BT annoyance !

[Req] GPS South Africa ???

Hi
Does anybody know of a good GPS program that has maps available for South Africa. Preferably a free one with NaviPanel compatibility.
CoPilot was not on the Rom from my operator so I assume that it has no South Africa maps

Hello TickByT
I'm using TT7 it works very fast with HD2 unfortunally not for sale on TT site but if you google little on torrents you will find prog and maps from many countries including south africa.
Good luck

Hi Vanalf.
Does TT7 work with the built in Navi-Panel?
And you say if i do a google search for Tom Tom 7 South Africa, i will get a link to download the program and the maps.
Thanks

@ Savage-wp
Don't know about the Navi panel because i use simple usb charger in the car.
For download i used a torrentprogramm and search for TT7 or navigator or something like that, it mostly comes with maps of europe or usa.
After you have to download map for africa seperate
succes

I believe Garmin have the best coverage maps for SA (GARMAP). Its not about the APP, its about the coverage. No use in getting a really cool looking Nav app with all the bells and whistles but when you try to find an address, its 2km away from the actual location, or the 10 year old street doesn't even exist on the map, or the POI are so old that your granny could tell you that place closed in 1972.
Okay, I'm exagerating. The best thing to do, is go to each App's home page and see what their coverage is like for your country and compare, then choose the APP from the top few best coverage.
About finding the app... if you don't want to PAY (NAUGHTY!!!), Google is your friend!

[Q] looking for a good navigation software

Hi group,
my good old navi device died today and i would like a software solution for my good old Leo.
I had a Route 66, which crashed every two minutes. Anyhow it showed extremely bad maps with almost no useful information.
I am looking for something working well on the LEO.
I don't care for 3D views, what i need is good 2D with as many roads names as possible.
Who could give me an info about a good navi software?
RIN67630

navigon is working very fast, tomtom also.
Garmin a little bit slower and igo harder to configure.

For me, the best is Tomtom Navigator 7

NDrive, IGO and Sygic
For Me:
1- NDrive --> Best for everything
2- IGO --> Quick.
3- Sygic --> Clear, Fast and not complicated

TomTom 7.918 , works well for me on HD2, easy to have & switch many maps, one of the few to have selection of european & asian maps I need.

I've got to see iGO8
The current street numbers left and right are super!
Found it nice, but it could display better the street names, which do not bend around the curves and frequently do not display at all, for no apparent reason.
Which one is better? I do need very good 2d maps.
Thanks

here you go

I suggest "Mapfactor Navigator FREE" from here: http://navigatorfree.mapfactor.com/de/
It is absolutely free - both software and maps (worldwide!!), because the maps are OpenStreetMap-data (OSM) as actual as the maps will generated by OSM.
It works even fast as TomTom and has a 3D-View ...

For me, the best navigation software is iGO Primo 2.0.
And with the skin Sbertaud13, it is perfect

For me the best navigation app is Ndrive.
Works like a charm with HD2.

hi,i know everything about igo 8 if you need something.... i think that igo is the best

You could put Google Maps on your HD2 which is free for navigation.
Maps get downloaded as you go so are always up to date.

iran maps don't has for Tom Tom or igo
hi guys
Tom Tom and igo very good software navigation but all world map don't has for example Iran map i can't find for igo and Tom Tom .
and this is very bad

i normally uses google map and sygic from time to time, but sygic always expires and want user to buy it, so i just stick with google maps.
