smoothunit.......................
got to say thanx for the maps buddy.
What about New Zealand??
I can't find it anywhere... :-(
For anybody that can utilize it, here is a link for a digital map of Australia, it doesnt go down to street numbers but looks useful all the same....and its free.

You could try Vito software, it at least has maps for Oz downloadable.

GPS map software review
I think I tried and bought (trial version never let you fully tested the software) the top 5 commonly used GPS software. I looked around for AU and NZ maps too, but they are either too expensive or not good enough (primitive).
Tom Tom v.2 (for Europe) - very good, and I think it is relatively very cheap. I bought it at least 2 years ago, and the software is already very useful and I can fit the maps in 1 SD card. It allows you to mark a start and end points, then it will guide you to either the quickest or shortest path.
PocketStreet 2002 (for US) - ok. Similar to Tom Tom but with point of interests. But it won't auto-span across 2 maps. i.e. if you travel from one city to another, you have to manually change maps. But it is very cheap and the map is free. I bet they already fixed the auto-span in the newer version.
MapKing 5 (for Asia) - very close to TomTom. I tried MapKing 7, it is even better. With 3D and very accurate street level map.
Vito (for Australia) - cheap but if you are looking for street level map, it is definitely NOT the software to go for. The map is also outdated. Basically waste of money.
Memory-Map (for NZ) - if you plan to the your laptop around, then it is an OK software. It is not built for PocketPC, I have the latest version but it is not even comparative as the others that I got years ago. You have to plan your own route. And the New Zealand North Island map alone is over 900MB, even if I can fit it in one SD card, how can I load it??? And it is sooooooooooooooooooo expensive.
I have not tried this one yet, may be you can have a go. http://www.maptrax.com.au/
... I need to buy different GPS software because I travel to different countries faster than the vendor can create / support maps for different countries!!
Hi, I've been trying to install my crack tomtom version and I was able to get though the point where it finds the map. However, only the belenux map works. My entire US maps just can't be found by Tomtom. I think I need new US maps in order to get Tomtom find the maps. Please share if you have them. Thanks a lot in advance.
I have TomTom Navigator 7, which works great when you are on roads that it recognizes, but it is absolutely useless when going off road to track where you have been. I am looking for another GPS app that will allow me to track where I go even if I am not on a road, and ability to retrace where I have been.
Any suggestions?
Google maps? But remember you will need a data connection, so its not ideal if you dont have a data package, or if you're in the middle of nowhere! As for logging where you've been - have a hunt on here. There were a couple of people hosting apps which streamed the gps position & time back to a server so you could track your phone in real time, or review it afterwards.
here are a few options

but mind you don't track for too long as it eat the batt if it's recieving gps for a long time
Garmin Xt vs. TT7
Better use Garmin XT than TT7, cause of better map accurasy, esspecially for Wester Europe. Even the smallest roads can find.
Memory Map
Memory map is what you need.
I have this installed on Touch Diamond & Touch diamond pro.
Superb.......uses UK & other Ordnance Survey Maps.
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!
Garmin Mobile XT on HD2
Hi Guys,
Im new in this forum...just thought I'd mention I'm from S.A. and managed to install Garmin Mobile XT without any issues. GPS works great. I have all the links to download what you need. Please let me know...
Cheers,
dawolf85
Hope someone can point me in the right direction. I have TT7 for my HD2 and now need to buy the North American maps. But when I go to the TomTom US site, there's no listing for the map, and in fact they don't even list Windows Mobile software as being available at all - only iPhone, which is pretty obnoxious where I'm concerned.
Am I doing something wrong? Has TomTom abandoned the Windows Mobile platform? What gives?
Bump. Anyone?
Bump. Yeah I've been looking too.
Try ***warez site link removed*** their site is down at the moment, but should be back in a week or so.
I understand the site has been hacked and will take a look at them when they're back, but why would we want to go there rather than buying maps directly from the vendor? Just asking - I don't understand, and it seems you know something.
When you go there, you will see.
Since the site is down due to a hack with no indication of when it'll be back, maybe one of you guys will spare me the suspense and just say what's going on if you know?

Ok, now go and try to select North America and see what happens.
TOMTOM has officially abandoned the US market for TOMTOM Navigator 7 and above, "Due to difficulties with US Cell Service providers"
Except for iPhone because Apple will apparently "work with them", while the other providers won't.
The latest US maps that will work with TT7 on the HD2 are the 825 series. The 845 series appear to be incompatible with WM6.5, which is why TOMTOM won't sell anyone the USA maps for Navigator anymore.

Please quote or link to source of your information because it seems contradictory. TomTom is independent of cell service as it's based on hardware GPS, and iPhone is... a phone, so if there are "difficulties with US Cell Service providers, that would include AT&T, the iPhone partner here in US. Furthermore, the HD2 was recently added on the TomTom site as a supported device, so again your information sounds strange. Color me confused.
i found the maps on the tomtom site or you can download them as a torrent.

Link, to US/CAN maps, please. I don't see them anywhere. I go through the steps of selecting my device, and get to the three boxes where they display the regions, but there is no selection for US/Canada.
I'd rather buy them legally than download them as a torrent.

This from US TomTom support phone-line. The polite young lady on the phone said she went and checked with her supervisor, and with her tech support desk. I am a long time TOMTOM user and was fairly insistent on getting an answer. She was very insistent on 'Can't help you - it will never be available in the US on anything but iPhone.'. Polite, but insistent.
So I regretfully hacked it. It works very well, allowed me to download one city map for free, and I don't expect to get updates for the USA and Canada map I am using. I would have been happy to pay them, I begged them to allow me to pay them...

my bad, i looked and they have maps, but no US . i guess they dont sell them anymore so i guess the torrent is the only option.
i dont know if this helps but i just downloaded the one free map for my city (san diego). of course i didnt try and buy other one and so i dont know if it works.
Any progress on this...?
Thought I'd bump this to see if anything has changed since the last post.
I'm looking to upgrade to Navigator 7 so I can have a version of TT that 'works' on my HD2 (i.e. correct screen format). Plus I want to be able to use the updated maps.
I need to be able to run with both UK/Europe maps and North America maps (for my trips to the US). I am happy to buy these maps from TT. I'm not looking here for free maps!
It seems that TT (for reasons we can only speculate on) still do not support North America maps on Navigator 7.
Has anybody managed to find a solution to this (e.g. Navigator 7 with an older version of NA maps or even a 'fix' to allow Navigator 6 to switch to WVGA mode)?
