Hi!
Does anybody know from where I can download Google Maps? No, it did not come with the phone. And yes, I know that normally you get it from www.google.com/gmm - except that all I get from there is "Sorry, Google Maps does not work on your HTC TouchDual."
Do you guys get the same message?
use internet explorer to browse google.com/gmm
this is because opera's user agent..

To be honest I have never come across anyone who didn't have it installed as stock. Where did you get your TP from?
As for downloading it, you will need to search the forum and see if any one has extracted it from their TP as I assume it is a bespoke build for the software

no, it's a standard build. And there were problems with it on the diamond with it not shuttiong down the GPS properly and rinsing the battery in around 2.5 to 3 hours.
go to www.google.com/gmm using INTERNET EXPLORER and download the latest version!

It wasn't pre-installed on mine.

Is the google maps install on the UK version the full version or still linked to the web?
GPS problem or Google maps problem
Hi!
With IE, I got presumably the latest version, which seems to be 2.2.0.19.
However, I can not lock into satellites at all.
Before that I had found one web-site that hosted an earler version that was very quick to find satellites - it just was missing lot of features like the favorites and was nagging all the time about updates.
So the question is, is this a problem with GM? Or the phone otherwise? Here are my settings:
Windows GPS settings:
GPS program port: COM4
GPS hardware port: (None), Baud rate: 4800
Manage GPS automatically: checked
In Google Maps, I've selected the option to get position through Windows (as opposed to manual setup).
Does anybody know any free program that I can use to check out the GPS functionality preferably in a way that would give some deeper access to functionality - like the traditional satellite view? Thanks in advance!
Forgot some details:
I've run the QuickGPS - hope that is not what is confusing the GPS now as I had just had a update before this latest version of GM?
Google Maps just sits there with "searching for GPS-satellites (0)..." and never advances the count from 0...
DO a search and you will find a thread "testing gps" where you will find a tool for "testing gps"!

Read the other threads on gps performance!!!!!
YOur first lock on satilites can take upto 20mins, even though you have updated quickgps. You need to be stationary and preferably outside.

Thanks I'll try that tool.
However, I did have older GM installed previously and it found a lock in just a few minutes. Actually GM doesn't even wait 20 min before it shows you a screen that says that it can not get a fix.

Yes, 1.90.405.1 is the UK ROM.
Same problem with the set I bought in Singapore, no google map included, and thanks for the IE fix, weird why Opera can't do it though.

I bought co Pilot it because I want the integration into footprint. But now I spend my money and what happens: The integration is not working ! I press a footprint navigate button, co pilot starts, but no target is set ! it just starts coPilot, like it would when I go to programs and start it there. No footprint integration at all ! Do you have the same problems or do you know a way to fix it ?
hans
are you running a custom rom? Also are you running a branded HD2? Like Tmobile?
Did you install CoPilot on your sd card? I bet you did ;-)
You have to install CoPilot in your device memory to make it work with Footprints AND NaviPanel. Regards.
I think you also need the HD2-specific patch, which you should find somewhere on the copilot website.

True, if you just installed the normal version it will only open the program. That's what was happening in the beginning to all HD2 users.

Why don't you just buy the software?
It will allow you to download the program from their website...
because i never got to try it out first and from flashing new ROM's it removed this program. price is not the issue how being able to try it out and see for myself how well it handles is always nice to assure it does what i need best.
myself and others have been look for the copilot cab file from official ROMS but to no avail.
Mod Edit - Linked removed
Thx to @hoodeddeathman, who put this there. File includes also maps for UK and Ireland.
Here is an official link to CoPilot with installation cab and Australia/New Zealand maps.
http://copilotlive8.s3.amazonaws.com/8.0.0.557_Australasia_Card_Image.zip
If you don't have a valid license it will provide you with a 15 day trial license after which you'll need to purchase a full license to continue using it.
You can download additional maps from within the program or from copilot central (the desktop app)
Thankyou very much guys

So is this the HD2 version (with pinch to zoom etc) or just a generic version? I only ask as I am thinking of trying to remove the app from my internal memory and reinstall from my SD card. I already have copilot 8 from my Touch HD but if I use that version I assume I will loose pinch to zoom and the HD2 colour scheme etc.
Cheers

I've used a copilot 8 downloaded from copilot-website, ie. non-HD2-specific version, and the pinch-to-zoom still worked on my HD2.
The colour theme was different, though (default copilot red/black instead of grey/black of the HD2 version).

I have tried downloading one of the copies of copilot 8 in this thread but am unable to use it as a trial. Has anyone else had success in using it in trial mode?
I get the enter your product key screen and it only allows me to enter it or quit.

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.

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?
New tomtom released which is supposed to support the HD2 including using tomtom home. Version is tt7.918.9193
Link Here
As you still need to buy the maps I have provided the link to the application as it is uselss without them.
Found this on my travels and seems to work ok.
UPDATE:
I have taken the original zip from tomtom and removed the unpatched tomtom navigator.exe and data.chk and replaced them with the ones in the previous link. This is a cab file so should be easier to install.
I have not tested this so feed back appreciated but as always ensure you have a full backup. there are no BT files in this also. This is only for the HD2.
Link Here
For people still having issues with tomtom home NOT working, see post #33 below.
Thanks Zomig. Right here I go off to buy TT Maps....
Any significant differences in this version? Any Traffic updates?

Just a quick query & probably a dumb one so apologies in advance. I have a 2 year old TomTom 1 V1 on which the screen has just died. Am I able in any way to use the maps on the SD card with with the linked to program on my HD2? Will probably just activate co pilot to be honest but wondered if this was possible as the software is leagal just old. Thanks up front for any help

maybe it's better to mirror it outside rapidshare (it sucks)
I was using v7.916 and I just installed this one.
Really no difference at all. Its exactly the same.
Maybe there is an option I cant see?
You only have to replace the files in your tom tom directory. No further activation is needed.

It's 2 files you need to replace, so you begin with installing a version containing the BT files.
it's always the same with these releases, they usually just fix issues with not working with certain devices. Also i believe this is a wvga version although I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

You will need to get the maps reactivated through Tomtom as these will be tied to your v1 device. Also they may not work due to differences with PNA and PDA Type maps. Check with tomtom if in doubt.
I really hate rapidshare. It never works.
If you can, can you please post the file somewhere else.

Nope! In the HD2 if you install T*T* "as is" you'll screw-up your BT functions, plus endless BT error messages, etc., it's all over the GPS forums.
In other releases people removed the BT files from the .cab, so your worries are over (as far as interference among different BT stacks)
I wouldn't dare to start all over again if the BT files are NOT removed from this cab.
Can anyone confirm?

If you downloaded the file you will see that it is just 2 files which just need to be copied over to your device. There is NO bt files in this rar file.
