tomtom loosing maps

Has any one else had problems with tomtom6 loseing maps?
I have to reinstall the app (not the maps) to get them back - so doent look like a sd card problem.
cheers

I did a soft reset and they came back
The version of tomtom preinstalled on the Touch Cruise allows only the use of a city map that you can unload free.
The maps that you had before don't work. You must buy her.

Thats not true. The pre-installed version of TT works just fine with all maps.
It has no problem at all with Western Europe & Benelux maps.

Well not quite. On my Touch Cruise, I downloaded a free map of Athens Greece, and it was fine. I then bought the full US-Cnada package, and TomTom does not see them on the phone? TT has not responded yet? The maps show as in place on TomTomHome, but I cannot navigate the program to the maps through the TT preferrences?
The Tom tom I've got is not a preinstalled version.
I've tryed restarting with no luck.

Have you tried 'Switch Map' funtion on TomTom Setting? I think it will working well.

Just a wild guess, but have you transferred it from TomTom Home to the phone? as far as i know, it won't do it automatically, you have to push the transfer button (not sure what it's called, and can't check since my phone is in for service)

GPS

what gps aplication to use on windows mobile ?
garmin , tom tom ....other than that?
i like Garmin, good maps for canada. finger friendly for driving- not that u should do that lol
Google Maps. Depends what you use the GPS for i spose.
GPS Softwares: Destinator, Route 66, Co-Pilot Live, Mapking, iGuidance, Nav N Go igo.
Off Road GPS Software - OziExplorer, Vito Navigator, GPS Tuner, Tracky Pro
Really depends on what you want to use GPS for and your location on earth
i use it in Europe .... for driving ... but i do not want to use internet .
for using Google maps you have to use internet ....right?

Yes, you need data connection for Google Maps.
I personally use iGO8, and I have no complaints so far. Their maps are recently updated, more so probably for European Maps.
i used google and tomtom and i can say forget them
iGO8 is the best i used
if your device can't run iGO8 at full speed turn off landscape and buildings
and it will become very fast
beside that iGO8 gets gps signal very fast 2-3 times faster than iGO6 or tomtom 6

GARMIN for xperia x10 android

I'm desperately searching for GARMIN for android (xperia x10)
why? is the navigation app not sufficient? i find it much smoother and more up to date (AND FREE) in comparison to any Smartphone based TBT navigation software so far.
well. Current navigation needs GPRS connection. In rooming is very expensive downloading maps. Garmin's maps are on SD card
I must admit, it would be nice if you can download a certain area of maps.
For example, if you are going on holiday, it would be nice to have the maps for Spain already on your SD card so that when you are lost, you can get back to your hotel/restaurant/pub etc. Not necessarily just for TBT, but top down maps too.
I do think (for local journeys) the maps downloads before the navigation starts, so that if you do lose 3g/GPRS signal you still have a visual map, and it also downloads the street view level of the destination (in my experience, it loads very quickly when you reach your destination, so I believe it is pre-downloaded)
Maybe its something that Google would take into consideration if people asked them for it (or a dev for 'hacked' versions of Google maps)
EDIT: should also note that Garmin isn't yet released on Android. They will soon be releasing a Garmin Android phone. Maybe after that they will release the TBT Nav as a standalone app
There are other apps that not need GPRS to work.
Navigon
Ndrive
SygicMobile
iGO (not for x10 at the moment)
CoPilot8
They are not free but you can buy individual country maps.
hopla - Which country are you in? Google maps works really well in the UK and a few other places now - and doesn't need GPRS.
Just download iGO but Motonav version and you will be very satisfied ! I am using it and it is great. Dont know if I can put some links to cracked versions but just google "iGO Motonav" and download version for Milestone ( 854x480 ).
Cheers
i would like to use the Garmin GPS navigation too. The motonav isnt that good to me. I have compared with the current navigon GPS and motonav, and found out that motonav usually points for longer distance travel.
note: i am living in US.
Copilot is the one working the best so far,the map are updated and it work flawlessly on the x10
i would like garmin for my android as well, i love google maps and the navigation, but garmin maps supports custom maps such as for western canada being able to search by LSD (Legal Subdivision) which normally looks like 12-14-15-18w4 anyone who works oilfield, or outside of a city office uses it in AB/SK/MB
Garmin seems to be the only mapping that comes with or has an add-on for inputing those type of addresses
Here in Asia (Thailand / Cambo / Laos / Vietnam) Garmin is the only routing game in town really..
So all other suggestions, while valid for some territories, are moot if we dont have maps for the region.

to do routing you still need a data plan...all brute force does is cache the map to the area you've browsed and it gives you your current location
also, browsing the map at different zoom levels takes forever
If you need custom maps for android the solution is Navitel, ($28 in Android market), make your map with gpsmapedit (version free) and export in Navitel map (with routing, and no need data plan). It´s very easy.
co-pilot 8 pro has been excellent. If they release a tomtom version well thats the one I like best. I travel alot so tomtom has been perfect for me.
You should check out navigon, I use it myself and I'm very impressed, I tried some of the others but didn't like them. It's worth a look.
