Right ive asked many people about this but ive still not got the answer so i thought i would give it a thread of its own!
How do i get tomtom buddies? Ive now got Version 5.21 and i cant find it anywhere, on the tomtom site it just says i need a my tomtom account which i have but its no where to be seen on my PDA?
I have looked through the main menu and there isnt a PLUS Services anywhere, and the same in preferences
It's only available on the TomTom Go models with bluetooth, and uses your mobile phone's GPRS connection.
Seems silly to leave it out of TomTom Mobile, but for now, they have.
Hey guys,
I just got an HTC touch pro but i live in Egypt so the google maps of Egypt arent very accurate at all and they give no directions watsoever. So before when i was on my HTC P3600 i installed a gps programm by TeleType and added the maps of my country to it in the folder of my maps and it worked perfectly. When i came to do that on my HTC touch pro 6.1 windows mobile it didnt wana install and it said GPS not a valid pocket pc application. Ive been looking for another gps software to install on my touch pro and cudnt find anything. Could any1 help em please? i have my countrys maps but i just need a software that will work and that i can add my maps to so i can get the turn by turn directions.
Thanks alot

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

Sounds like a pirated version?

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!

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.

Works great now!

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

Download the latest Quickgps.
How long did you wait?
I tried outside including on top of the roof at work!!! waited for 30 mins, to signal at all!!!! not even one grey bars!!!
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.
thanks

really strange; I never had such problems; I also didn't need the gps mod driver;
How is tt configured? Built in receiver?
Cyron - which version of TT have you installed?
What settings have you applied (internal GPS, or NMEA with com4)?
thanks

hi man!!
you´re only testing gps with google maps?
first thing that you should do its download from the MARKET the "GPS status.apk"
and then run it and wait for a GPS FIX.. later... post here your results for too see the problem
how many sats found?
how many time for to fix gps?
and some information that you see in the app.
remember to remember to leave the mobile in a flat and straight surface outdoors
see you soon
hey,
thanks for your help !
but i could "fix" it. I read somewhere that it need much much time the first time you use GPS and so i let him search a few minutes and hey...i've got a signal now
and after that first time its quite fast.
