dear friends
just to update you gps works with google maps on htc-s730 sample and also in the software of the unit it self you can find htc gps software that will show you gps is working and finiding sat signal.
love the unit
but must say bit slow and i hope it s just the sample rom and in the futere it will be better
so does the HTC S730 have GPS built in ?
or do you have to use an external bluetooth gps reciever ?
htc-s730 samplese are shipped
gps is built in !!!
can you confirm this with a source? i cant find anything about built-in-gps on the S730..
htc-s730 samplese are shipped
i cant send a link
but can assure you its in i have it in my hands
Any idea when Orange Uk will get this? I can't wait!
HTC S730 with GPS!!
well pdadb.net and HTC.com use to show that its with GPS but not any more i have found this url ( http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news3075.html )showing orange version..
Mods i am sorry if i break the forum rules by adding the above link..
this will be my dream phone. if it does have gps built in.
the link above shows a completely different mobile.. check www.htc.com for the S730.. and i seriously doubt it has GPS
hi, i think the link above is showing future version of orange which will be as usual different from HTC brand.
Gps Is Working

just made 2 movies at home in israel and loaded for you all to view that built in is working on sample unit.
hope for all of us on shipped rom too.
thanks
im definately getting this phone now. as long as it has the gps hardware builtin. im sure someone here can enable it to work on the rom. or maybe in the future a rom is released where it is enabled.
the rrp price for this on expansys is £314
hey there motin. could you test it with tomtom navigation software. and post a video if possible
regards
sorry not convinced.. wouldnt gmaps show "gps active" with bluetooth mouse also? dont want to call you a liar or faker.. but still, not convincing..

ok i did not make all this to convince you so wait for your shipped version and maybe you will be lucky and get your gps open on the shipped rom
in any case i dont have tom tom to try on the phone.
but i am sure you can fwd it to me . some how
also please look on the screen can you see teh bluetooth icon appering on the today screen ?
The problem will probably be the same as I had with a Nokia 6110 Navigator.
U can install TomTom. It will work fine, but there will be no way to use the internal GPS. At least I could not accomplish this on the Nokia.
U can probably install TT 6.03 on the s730, but u will have to mess around with FakeCursor. For me, personally, This is not a good solution. Too much hassle to use the address lookup.
IF I get the S730, I will probably use TT5.21, with external GPS or maybe internal, with GPS gate. Using Touch/Elf for the moment.
htc-s730
gd day have managed to install the tom tom software today will test and see if the gps is working and will upload a movie for you all.
nice day
htc-s730 gps enabled

I was just looking at the Garmin Mobile™ XT software that works on top of the mobile phone gps, and it lists the HTC s730 as compatible with their mobile software. Looks like a good sign to me.....not sure it is ok to do this or not, so sorry if it is not, but here is the web site for the Garmin software.....
https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=11413
thanx for that motin. just need to clarify whether the final products have the GPS hardware in it. and whether it just needs enabling...
kind of similar with the htc trinity.
have a qeustion wil tomtom 6.030 work on touch diamond 2 because i have dis one all ready
i really hope its gonna work
tnx
hope somebody response
No, you'll need Tomtom 7, which you can get from this forum. Tomtom 7 does not work with your version 6 maps, so you'll have to purchase new maps. Yes it sucks. Also, you cannot move your Tomtom services, such as Traffic, over to your TD2. This is because Tomtom refuse to support the device.
Sorry for the bad news.
Personally, I'm so pissed off with Tomtom that I'm seriously considering using something else like IGo.
tom tom
yes i'am not gonna buy the tom tom 7 i'am really mad too
i have igo 8 also then i'm just gonna put that one on my td2
really tom tom sucks for not make tom tom 6 work on td2
thanks for your answer you really help me out

tomtom 6 with tt6 maps works fine on TD2, I had 6.75 working with all maps of europe.
Why work with tomtom6 when you can get tomtom7.9 with the latest 830 maps..??

Hey all! On my phone it is that version that works perfectly! If there are problems with the voices, simply copy the voices folder on your memory card!
http://rghost.ru/310020
I got ttn7.915.9196.vga_black_yarda working here perfectly with with Western-Europe 830.2307. It came in my All-programs list and i added it myself to the "today"-screen with comes with your HTC.
Hello
Where should I put the voices folder?
When I start the tt7 they ask me to add a new card, then I go directly on the website to choose the card I download it but then where should I install it ?
Thank you
Voices goes in the root directory of the SD card. Same as the maps directory.
Latest tt7 bought from tt on 4GB microSD does'nt install nor work

How did you do it, man?
I bought the SD-Card TomTom 7 with Europe_1GB maps (825 built 2159) offered on TomTom's website since some weeks.
Neither install, manual install, TomTom Home nor something else works.
The extracted "TomTom Navigator.exe" and also the Home app 2.6 refused to support my O2 TDII device.
Then I installed 7.910.9185 black VGA, but I was only able to download one city map. My bought Europe maps are recogniced, but rejected when I select it through menu "maps change".
How can I make use of my Product code now? Or is there any chance at all?
Please help, or send me some hints by PM.

You have to make a shortcut to windows\startmenu\programs.
You can copy the file and paste it as a shortcut to the programs folder with explorer. If you don't like the name "Shortcut ..." you can rename the shortcut to whatever you like.
If you now look at your programs than you will see your shortcut. There is also the problem of the clipped voice. You can run any audio program except Media Player with a silent audio file, then the voice clipping is gone.
You can also search for the audio problem fix. Someone has made a cab file to fix al the problems in one installation.

Tomtom 6 'memory access violation' ideas wanted!
Had Tomtom 6 (fully legal) working fine on my Kaiser. On TD2/Topaz, whatever I do (soft,hard reset, load from different sources) I get the same 'Tomtom cannot start: memory access violation' msg. Internet search shows lots of people with same prob, but no answers or workarounds. Seems to me might be screen/display related as TT starts to load but with squashed format before hanging. Reluctant simply to buy TT7 in case a) that exhibits the same prob and TT specifically do not support the TD2/Topaz at the mo and b) some people seem to have got TT6 working fine on TD2.
Any ideas gratefully appreciated- might have to have a look at iGo as previous poster suggested, which is a shame as have used Tomtom since v2.
Thanks,
Tony

Although I haven't tried it myself I believe it is mainly a screen size issue, if you use the "WVGAFIX3_BY_Cotulla" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455974 and change the res TT6 will work.
If you try let us know how you get on.
Hi all,
I see that you can now download tomtom v7.916 here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556316
which would be the best version for the TD2 ( or an old spv m700 for that matter as thats what i use for sat nav in the car) the QVGA or the VGA
am really interested in the type for each phone
also what version maps should i be buying? I am guessing v8 but does it matter which version map
thanks in advance

..try to move them to the "My Documents" directory...
An other issue could be that the maps you are using are not compatible with your tomtom version..
Thanks for all the advice people.
I have managed to get it working, i had to create a 'CurrentMap.dat' file and place it in '\My Documents\TomTom'. This tells tomtom which map to look for.

With WM 6.5 you don't need the TomTom Audio Fix anymore
All 7 versions of TomTom wil work with the HTC TD2.
I have had 7.450, 7.915, 7.916 and many different builds.
Now I have v7.916 Build 9192.
There is a new version of TT
TomTom Navigator 7.918.9193
can anyone please let me know what settings you use for Tomtom 7?
For example, do you select the "internal gps" or "other enmea"? If you select the "Other .." then what "COM" and "Baud Rate" do you use?
I have wm6.5 and tomtom 7.45.
Thanks
It depends what you are using
What is your device?
Do you use an external GPS device?
I use what is in my signature en because i use GPSModdriver i take
other nmea - 9600 baud - GPSModdriver

If you select "Other", choose COM4, baud rate can be 4800 or more, 19200 may be a good choice. Note that some versions of Tomtom 7 do not show properly the list of received satellites, both with "internal Gps" or "Other..."
One most recent version of Tomtom solves this problem and also solves the audio cutoff issue (for WM6.1 users).
Aikon
my device is diamond2 and i have installed tt7.45 on it successfully but i do not get any gps signal.
i was wondering is there any particular set up required for it to work?
No i have the TD2 also and in the beginning i used internal GPS and it worked great accept for the lag.
Go to settings from windows and go to external GPS
in Programs my setting says COM4
in Hardware my settings says None and 4800
in the third tab(toegang in dutch) chek the box
Try to install the latest version of TomTom Navigator 7.917.9186
and use GPS Mod Driver http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=571266

I have the TT 7.45, wm6.5 (official). I have run quick GPS a couple of times as well.
I was wondering if it would help if I cohse to install a custom FW like Dutty's.
But I will try to get the latest TT and GPS Mod Driver and report back here on how I get on.

Hi,
I have an issue with the POI's. I am trying to add Tesco POI which integrates fine. But, when I gets to the add to Pick a Category, I chose New Category, type in Tesco it then asks to Pick an Image – From here I cannot find the Tesco image.
I am copying tesco.cv2 and tesco.bmp to copilot\save I have also tried copying the files to copilot\EU\UK_Ireland\save and also replace the bmp with png file.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm affraid I can't help you there. But you should really give iGo a try. I like it much better then Copilot on Android.

Do you know anything about igo being able to set several "via" points.. like 10-20-50? I know tomtom on winmob does that, and so does copilot on android, but it makes the app useless: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5751733#post5751733
IGO8 and TomTom on an adroid? U.S. maps?
I like IGO8 better than tom tom on my little TYTN. It's a litlle cheesy but Tom looks like it was developed 15 years ago.

I tried iGo, but don't really like it. It feels really sluggish on the Hero (G2). Plus, don't really like the way it tells you repeatedly about the next turn coming up, told me 3 times to take the 3rd exit on the roundabout, which gets annoying.
I think I'll stick with CoPilot.
I have also raised a call with their support, nearly a week ago, still no communication from then. Think this is the propa downside of CoPilot, support is c**p.

Afaik you can't buy iGO for Android yet.
But Navigon released their Mobile Navigator today. It should be available on market. I don't have proper market, so i can't confirm it. Will check that workaround for unauthorized paid apps market tho.

hello, I have a problem with this program, I try to type an address or something I wrote several letters at once, how can I fix this?
I have been searching everywhere and I'm not having any luck. Does anyone know where I can get a really good aviation navigation, that utilizes the built in GPS and has live moving maps, app for my hd2?? It would really help me out and stop me from spending $400-500 on a good garmin.. Any help would be great... thanks in advance
I'm also still looking for that
hello guys,i'm looking for it too,plz post it if any1 got it,for HTC HD2... thanks
VFR or IFR ??
I know when i was flying VFR years ago, www.pocketfms.com was fantastic and helped me found a small airport near Paris
About IFR... I don't really have any. I used to use beeline GPS and have a database of worldwide airport entered as waypoints. (named as ICAO code).
Except that, NON navigation talking, i use wxsys to get metar taf, notams on pda... however i found out it's not really fitted for the HD2, as i can't scroll down the results...
If anyone has some other sugestions of programs interesting for IFR flights on the HD2... i'm listening !
Fly safe!
thanks! but I dont have a pref. I just want an actual aviation navigation app with moveable maps via gps. I use aviationweather.gov for my weather related stuff..notams, taf, metars.. by the way the radar on the hd2 is awesome!!! so ill check out those apps.. but if one else knows of some good **** let us know...
Try this...
http://www.flynavgps.com/
i do have a program that i did use a while back the maps were a little out of date back then ( up to date airports vors....)
but all in all wasn't that bad.
I'm actually going to be picking up a leo tomorrow and will be going for some vfr flight soon so I'll try it out.
it's called
WinPilotVFR
-planning - weather -checklist -deviations ....were all there
there was a website that tried to maintain the maps but i haven't been for a while, if your not able to find it let me know and I'll send you the program.
pocketfms has become f***ing expensive. for wx checks I use wxsys. currently I'm playing around with relirescue for nav purposes. But: there's no aviation/ flight safety overlay.
Does anyone know if there's an holding calculator for ifr?
thanks yall ill have to do some downloading.. but I checked out navgps... but I havent had a chance to import the maps into the app.. but thanks and lets keep this goin.. were need more aviators..
NavGPS work better on device with joystick-button. I use it on my Acer DX900. When I try on my wife's HD2 it was much worse.
I think mobile aviation soft now - big problem.

Hi!
Are you a Pilot? I am too, on the helicopter. I am using 2 program on my HD2, they are quite very userfull for me. Oziexplorer version 2.34 and NAVGPS PRO. Both can build the route, flight planing, WPT the same like GPS, specially they installed to SD and just one time input the active.
Give me your mail box to get more information!
I am a CPL-H as well, but I found that there are much more usefull apps for android than for Windows mobile. So android mostly runs when I am entering the helicopter and windows mobile anywhere else ;-)
Oziexplorer will allow you to calibrate your own maps from scanned maps and other sources too.
Tried a lot of apps and now I am with
Flymap
Costly, but perfectly stable and with PC-planning app
Alternative:
Skymap
Less costly, same functions as Flymap, did not try it.
(I fly an ultralight gyroplane)
