Tom Tom 7 - General Questions and Answers

Forgive me if this is redundant or otherwise inciting of the ire of everyone... I have spent far too many hours on search and just plain reading this site looking for information on Tom Tom. I found the .cab for the program, however I have been unable to find where to download the vaunted "one free map" from Tom Tom's site or here.
I realize other maps in general are illegal to post for download, I am only interested in obtaining the "trial / free" map so I can check out the buzz on this GPS software for my AT&T Tilt. The closest things I could find on this site was some commentary saying that Tom Tom no longer offers maps for the United States or something similar. On their site there is no reference I could find to lead me to any such "free" map available. Then also saw a comment that if you download and install Tom Tom Home for your PC, you can download US maps, but it didn't clarify if this applied also to the "free" map.
Thank you for bearing with me on this issue, whether posted correctly or not or if this has been answered numerous times. I just felt that spending over 5 hours on this site was a little much...LOL... especially for coming up empty handed.

when you run the setup it will tell you it found no maps and ask you if you want to download your one free map

Obviously you just didnt realise what you just typed.
i'm sure you know there are tons of sites already doing this.. rating "software" and recommending software.. and no need of such waisted threads.
here's a link to begin your quest for recommended software.
www.download.com <- filter to mobile software (top rated, popular) .. ofcourse there are more sites on the net that does this better.
hey
lol. i can assure you i am aware of what i type!
my intentions were to eventually setup a CAB file repository for MS Smartphones here on xda-devs which can be accessed via our smartphones over wifi! i am working on compiling a list as we speak however i am having trouble finding some good freeware apps and will end up having to post 'trial' versions

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342832
need me to search anything else for you???
There is a Wiki with the applications. Otherwise I would contact these vendors for their respective application upgrades. None of the developers here develop those.
Please try to keep your posts related to things that are developed here.
i dont mean to be a ****
because u are helping me
but i really am having touble with these new searches
i never made threads before
i found EVERYTHING especially with advanced searches
never started a thread before???? look at how many of your damn thread there are in this forum. I need esmertec java, i need rss, i need this i need that, 10 damn threads in the last 4 days. all that because you're too bloody lazy to use the search function.
this is how i found the links, search for mobitv cab, and for your second crap, search for "cellular video" cab. Both links i gave you are in the very first page in the results. and if you dont understand how is it i thought of using those keywords to use, then i suggest you just search for how to use google and learn how to use that.

[Q] Newbie question regarding Internet functionality

Hello All,
I am a new member and have been lurking here for several weeks trying to learn about the Android tablets and, in particular, the Transformer. This one sounds like the model I want to invest in. I am somewhat on in years so I don't have a lot of the backround knowledge on a lot of the technical types of things I read discussed on this forum so I was wondering if I could ask a favor from the group. One of the main things I want to do with the tablet is read scanned copies of scientific journals, books, magazines, etc. I'm assuming the Transformer can do this easily. However, I also want to read newspapers. I live in the Atlanta area and I subscribe to the Atlanta Journal/Constitution. They have a web-based version which contains the full content of the newspaper. I can read it on my desktop, but I have been unable to load the site on Android demo units at Best Buy (maybe because Flash 10.2 isn't installed?). Could someone try to load a demo of the AJC on their Transformer and tell me if it loads correctly and if you can read the content? The link follows and it is free, requiring no registration.
OK - it appears as a new member I can't enter a link so I'll try to describe it.
the link is e-edition dot ajc dot com. And then click on 'View Demo'.
It is a split screen with kind of a table of contents on the left and the main content on the right. I would be most appreciative if some brave soul could give this a try and report back.
many thanks in advance,
Brian
I wouldnt say the interface was very smooth or anything, but it does work. And the pinch to zoom works too to let you zoom in on the buttons to see them easier. Couple of screenshots attached for you to see. One landscape mode and the other in portrait.
Personally I much prefer PDF files as they work a lot better. But obviously not everything is available as a pdf. There is an app (called PressReader) that lets you subscribe to a huge amount of newspapers included on the transformer, it's not free though, although it does let you test out about 5 copies of papers of your choice first.
Edit: There's a massive list of USA papers and I'm not spending all day looking for the atlanta ones, but a quick search with the search box didnt show up anything with the name "Atlanta" in that app.
Many, many thanks, stuntdouble. I have to admit I was a bit distressed when I couldn't get it to work at Best Buy (I even started looking at iPads). Now I'm sold and will patiently await the next shipment of Transformers.
Another option for your newspaper is to go through PressDisplay. The My Library application included on the TF comes with a 7 day trial. There is also a separate PressDisplay application available in the Market.
I use PressDisplay to read The Washington Post and I really like how PressDisplay makes a full size newspaper work on a 10" screen.
Thanks, Jerirat. It appears the AJC isn't offered by them as yet. Maybe in the future?
AJC is indeed available in the included pressdisplay app.
Hey Brian, I'm in metro Atlanta and read the AJC everyday on the Transformer. It actually looks better to me on the Asus than on my desktop......
ok I just reread ur post and tried the e-edition. at the moment it says the "server application is unavailable"... I'll try again later
Thanks, mb2k. Fool that I am, I was looking under the "A's" in the list for 'Atlanta...' and there it was under 'T' for "The Atlanta..." Should have known <head slap>.
Brian
Thanks, rrushhour - do you use the AJC link or Pressdisplay?
I use the ajc link. As others have said, the e edition does work...just went to it.

Wireless mapping tool

Hello,
I've been searching here and there, without any satisfactory results so I thought of asking here too.
What I am looking for is a way to map all the free access points in my town (restaurants, libraries, petrol stations, etc) and share them to the world (over Google Maps or something). I've found a few services, but their maps seem to be rather empty around Romania.
So, if you can recommend me a good wifi access points sharing service, feel free to name it here.
PS: If it has an Android application it would be even better.
Edit: Could a moderator could change the thread's title to "Searching for a wireless mapping tool", please? Thanks!
You looking for something like this?:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hogdex.WifiMapMakerFree
Something like that. But this app doesn't seem to work inside although I know for sure that I have a few hotspots in the building. And I cannot find any sharing option.
Anything else?

[Completed] Navigation for galaxy s7

Hello everyone,
I started delivering food and phone navigation is my main item to find the place. I have tried google maps, waze, maps.me and copilot(paid version) and all of them disappointed me.. It's hard to explain what kind of places they don't locate at all, it would be easier to show but long story short iPhone stock Maps app find every single location and leads you to the door compared to android ones because they bring you to the street and say "you have arrived" or "your destination is on the right" when you need house #24 and you end up at #65.
What navigation would you suggest using or trying out to find these locations or I should just mark the location on my google maps when I find the place so next time it would be easier to find it.
I hope any of this makes sense, I tried everything and this forum is my last hope.. I have 20 minutes to deliver food and I spend 15 minutes looking for a place and then having to call the customer so he could guide me to his house..
P.S. if you need any information about what specific locations i'm looking for let me know, I didn't write here so post wouldn't be too long.
Hi
Regarding best navigation android application or other kind of android application everything it`s subjective and you won`t find on xda a proper discussion about it , you better search on Google and also , the developer`s website would provide more information as he is developing it.
The accuracy of location details may vary do to maps updates and application`s built in engine so try and find the one it suits you , good luck !
