Hi,
I am a recent owner of a Touch Cruise, to replace my too big Athena.
On my X7500 I was using TomTom navigator 6 brought by HTC with a one-town demo map, that's why I bought France map on TomTom site.
So, yesterday I bought my Cruise in one of my phone operator's store, which is SFR in France. And my **#[email protected]* operator removed tomtom software because it has its own gps software (monthly costing about 15$).
I would like to find / download / buy only TomTom software, because I already have the map for it, but I don't find anyway o get it !
Even the TomTom software setup cab of my Athena's programs disc does not want to be installed on my Polaris...
May someone tell me how I could get a copy of TomTom executable only ?? (if possible in french)
Thanks by advance,
Waici.
(sorry for my bad english
I´m sorry, but you can´t buy the TomTom Navigator stand alone version. TomTom only sells it with a map package.
But you can install your for your old PDA activated TomTom version on your new Polaris, if half a year has gone after the activation on your old PDA.

Seconded..
Thanks for your response, but as I said my Athena's version of TomTom does not want to be installed on the Polaris, saying that my ROM is in a wrong version : I suppose that the HTC TomTom exe installer is restricted to Athena ROMs

Your TC is delivered with a CD containing Tomtom sofware.

Well, yes and no.
If the operator removed the the software from the TC, the answer is no.
If the operator removed the CD as well, he removed some dedicated HTC software like backup and GRPS monitor which is on the Tomtom CD, the answer is yes
The good answer is Yes : the operator removed the CD containing TomTom software and Spb software... I only have the ActiveSync CD
Did you see my PM ?
I would like to see this PM also
can you send me too the TomTom Application for the Cruise?
it would be nice to get the pm as well cause im currently looking for it, thanks in advance.
Hi all,
I am trying to work out how to install the TomTom Navigator 5 Series maps onto the Polaris. It does not seem to be going very well. I was using these maps with the jamin and tomtom5. Do I really need to buy new maps? I hope not as these work and are perfectly good. Please could someone enlighten me please?
Kind Regards,
Will

I guess the problem is that you have tomtom 6 on tc and want to use tomtom 5 maps. You could try installing them using tomtom home. Or you could try uninstalling tomtom 6 from the tc and installing tomtom5. if u have bought the software and maps, you could email tomtom customer services and explain the problem (i.e. that u cannot transfer the maps on ur new device), maybe they could be of help.
hope this is helpful
TT5 works fine on my Touch Cruise. You first have to remove TT6 from the device. Then, copy the 4 CABs to a temporary dir on your SD-card and run them. Install the cards you need on a temporary dir on your PC and copy them to the SD-card.
I copied the card dirs from another device. All settings and speed cams where copied to my TC.
I hope this brief explanation will help you.

Thanks Joop and Jackster....
I have had a reply from tomtom........(info for anyone else)
"Dear Mr Richardson,
Thank you for contacting TomTom Customer Support with regards to your PDA.
Navigator 5 maps are unfortunately not compatible with the software of Navigator 6.
You will have to use the maps provided with navigator or buy new maps.
Please check the compatibility of your device , you could do tis by going to our website under PDA/Mobile"
Its a ****** scam! At least Microsoft aren't that bad! "Here buy Nav 5, (XP) whoops you have upgraded to Nav 6 (Vista) none of your programs work, sorry you have to buy them again!!!!!!
Brilliant Thanks Tomtom for the support and great service! What other people sell navigational software? (Rhetorical Question, PLease do not reply!)

I'm stopped at the following pocket PCs: Asus P750, HP IPAQ 610c(614c) and HTC Touch Cruise.
Please, help me to choose one of them.
And one more question, the GPS of the HP it is really working GPS (for example like HTC Tytn II, or P3600) without any additional softs, except navi software ofcourse. I'm embarassed about this GPS-A (asisted GPS). What this does it meen?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS
Thx, this means that, this GPS can work with assistant server, and WITHOUT asistant server, is this correct?
And don't forget the main thread. Pls give me advice about my choise.
Hello,
I have been a week of the VDA GPS Vodafone, same device as Toshiba Portege G710
It is the standard Windows Mobile 6 installed, no touchscreen. (Smartphone)
It has a right trackball, there are also pictures:
http://picasaweb.google.de/greddy7/VodafoneVDAGPSAuchBekanntAlsToshibaPortegeG710
It has the same size as the HTC S620, has 260MHz, no WLAN, but GPS in it.
My questions now, because I have absolutely nothing could find on this device:
Which company is building the device? HTC builds not.
Which GPS chip was consumed?
Where a still another Rom for this device, or any support pages?
Thank you
Cheers
I'm also keeping an eye on the G710, especially because of the integrated GPS and the small keyboard. However, one thing makes me wonder:
Can I use any navigation application with the Portégé G710?
Although the Portégé G710 is GPS enabled, it is not possible to use any standard navigation software on the G710. Details on which navigation packages are compatible with the Portégé G710 will be available soon.

(Taken from the Toshiba site)
It would be nice to know whether TomTom or a similar offline navigation software would work. I cannot imagine that "it is not possible"
now my device is at ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200211975316
This device is cheap, price and quality. I am now back to my htc s620!
Tomtom5: Screen black, the device is not stopped, but the screen is black. The same
with the core player: Screen black ...
Tomtom6: Screen not black, nice, but Tomtom detect no GPS Hardware
Route 66: works (but i can not live with this slow gps software !)
This device has many bugs ...
cheers
Could you check out any other navigation software such as Navigon?
By the way: I don't think somebody will pay 300€ on eBay, if you can get it for 230€ at Vodafone directly.
My Toshiba G710 was provided with Copilot Live 7. This software is very good.
I'm very happy with this phone, the Gps receiver is so fast even without a-gps !
Unfortunately, he have not WM6.1 and Toshiba says "it is not foreseen"

How did you get TomTom 7 to work, I cant even install it?? please explain =]
Can someone please please help me how to install any GPS navigation system on my new phone HD2? I really need a voice guidance GPS on this phone. Sorry if this is a repeat request but I'm new to this.
Thanks in advance.
I recommend tomtom navigator 7, search google for ttn7.915.9196
then purchase some legitimate tomtom 7 maps, it works FANTASTICALLY on my HD2
I'm using Mapking and Igo8 but I'm from Asia, so I can't use Tom Tom or some others wehre there aren't maps available.
Igo8 is great and smooth but the maps and search feature isn't as good as Mapking so i switch between the 2 but as much as possible i use Igo8
iGO8 works well too.... although some have issues if they use TTS voices, but the pp it great for navigation.

Hey buddy,
I've just downloaded setup for IGO8 fr my HD2..Didnt put it on my SD Card neither did i install anything because I am looking for Maps for India that I can put in the Maps folder. Can you help me with the link or maybe upload the maps file for India. It'l be a great help. I downloaded the IGO8 cracked version setup from forum.ipmart.com
Waiting for your reply...Thanks in advance
I really like the CoPilot Live8 came with the HD2, but now its expired. Does anyone know how I can get this for free? Any crack version out there? please help. and many thanks in advance.
Navigon
The Navigon Software is IMHO the best Navi for the HD2.
I testet tomtom, Destinator, iGo an CoPilot.
Short the navigon Software is the most exact off them all.
And the Realityview, Poi, Warnings and alle extra Features are great.
An a Price @ 80€ with 2 Jears of free Upgrades is unbeaten.
does anyone know how to install iGo 2008 into the HD2? I installed it but when open its keep saying "Fail to open file: ui_igo08\240_400\loading.bmp exiting application"
does anyone know how to install this thing? please help. THanks.
Take a look on this site

Here I got TomTom and iGo, both works fine

Depending on your location, it can be as low as $30 which is a steal compared to the rest of GPS apps out there (€60+). It's not even worth the effort to pirate it!

IGO8 works a treat for me install both files should automatically start to install
Mod edit:
Do not post warez on this forum.
if you want iGO the easy way, search for PDA version, it also contains a 2577 folder with the installer (autorun.exe), it should autorun, but you can also start it manually from the SDCard.
The next thread gives some info on getting iGO full WVGA resolution.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=586150.
I for example for high resolution have the following iGO8\sys.txt (on device and StorageCard):
Code:
[project]
name="igo8_pda"
[device]
type="ALIAS_TOUCH HD"
[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"
[interface]
maxzoom2d=6000000
show_exit=1
and the following in my iGO8\save\system.ini (on StorageCard):
Code:
[rawdisplay]
class="landscape"
autoconfig="1"
driver="gdi"
highres="0"
I have TT 916 working on my nicely. But, they dont offer some maps for certain parts of the world. So, I also installed GarminXT and have ten maps working with it also. gpsunderground is a very good site to learn more.
