Where can I get the TomTom version 5 working with USA maps?

Hi all,
I've been searching this forum, looking at many different threads, but I still can't find the solution to my problem:
I can not use the the USA maps v566 (regional and city) with higher versions than 5.00 of TomTom 5 (yes with TomTom 5.00 -bakonl version- but unstability makes impossible to navigate anywhere).
Could you help to find the right SW version (emule or whatever)?.
According to the forum answers it seems that there is a problem with the SW version when trying to open that version of maps. But also is shown that there are people with working 5.10 or 5.21 versions (stabel versions) and USA maps (version not specified).
If any of you are using the TT 5.21 with the USA maps, could you please post here the USA maps version?.
On the other hand, and i order to avoid references already analysed by me, I have tested all the workarounds shown in all the following threads (changing the CurrentMap.dat, having in the SD more than 1 working map, etc) but still impossible to manage:
TomTom 5.21 freezes
TomTom v5.00 with US Maps and Bluetooth working.....
TOMTOM 5.21 NO US MAPS
TTN 5.21 and USA maps?

I don't say this to be a troll - I spent a ton of time a couple of weeks ago doing the same thing you are - downloading every version (of both the maps and the app) I could find, making all the changes listed on this site and others, all to no avail.
I finally gave up and just ordered it - got the CDs, installed it without a single hitch, and it works great. I'd give you the map version that came on the CD with 5.21 but I had to hard reset this morning (for a non tomtom issue) and won't reload tomtom until tonight. I'll let you know then.

TomTom 7 ?

Does anybody know if the PPC version of TomTom 7 will goes out ?
Following some information's I've read, TomTom will not sell this version "in the box" but some company may deliver a v7 version with their device.
Also read that HTC will deliver this with the Diamond.
Thx in advance for your feedback.

According to Tomtom, the availability of version 7 is unknow.
However, some people have ripped the HTC Diamond version which is illegal and no new maps are available that works with the ripped version although some people claims that the maps of release 6.75 works but they are out off date. Conclusion: May be that you can get an illegal version of Tomtom 7, but it will not support the latest maps.
Therefore, if you want navigation with the latest maps consider to use IGO8.

People in the Diamond forum and Kasier forum have download and purchased the version 7 maps from the tom tom 720 and they work with the ripper tt7

--delete--

hello !
I have installed tomtom 7 and works great on my polaris with map france_720_1802 ..
Really speed this tomtom, but i try igo8 and looks very good with more options !

TT7
I've installed TT7 with the West_European_720_1803 map.
It works but it isn't Navigon (which I prefer).

Frepke

No you cant. But why do you want to keep version 6? Version 7 works better, works with newer maps... why keep with the old stuff?

I have TT6 running WE 6.75 and use a lot, so am more than interested in upgrading.
3 Qs
1. What are the new features of TT7? Is it worth it? Is it really faster? One feature I would really like in particular: does TT7 have the ability to give a voice warning of being over the speed limit?
2. Do we ever expect TT to release this formally for PDAs?
3. Do you also need to update TomTom Home to 2.x? (TT6 only worked with TT Home 1.x).
Thanks

Q1: you can give a sound to warning over speed so i guess a voice too.
Q2&Q3 dont know

Hi,
I have it running on the poor mans Polaris (Artemis) and it works just as well as TT6.
1. The new features I have noticed are
i You can now disable auto zoom, so you can set a zoom level you like and it won't change.
ii You can set a warning both for going over the speed limit or for a speed defined by you.
iii You can change the pointer to your car of choice.
iv It displays the road you are on as well as the next road when following a route.
v the speed warning is now red background with white text so is easier to read (was red on blue before).
vi Has access to MapShare (I can't get this to work as I have it installed purely on my SD card but other forum users report it works).
2. No idea.
3. You need to use TT Home ver 2.3
Overall it is not a major improvement on TT6 but there are a few bits. Due to the size of its installation (over 12mb) I can't fit it on my device storage but it runs fine on the SD card. However, this does prevent it from connecting to TT Home. However, I intend to change my Artemis for a MDA Compact IV or an Orbit 2 so that problem should be easy to fix.
Regards

Thanks spangelsaregreat and le poulpe for replies.
As I use mine in my pocket via earplugs on my motorbike, and hence never look at the screen (and hence my interest in voice/audio features) it doesn't look like there is much more in TT7, except of course the speed warning.

just tested tomtom v7.450.9028 on my polaris with tt7.20 and tt7.15 maps. it works great and even faster then tomtom6

Touch Diamond 2 and navigators

I got my D2 one month ago but, till now, it has been not possible to install any navigator. I tried copilot live, coming in bundle with the phone, then I tried Navigon in demo version (30 days), but no one worked. I don't get any error message, simply, after the installation, the program doesn't start and freezes the phone. I tried to do a hard reset and I reinstalled it, with no other programs than the default ones, with the same, bad results. Can someone help me?

IGO and Mobile XT can run on my topaz with WM 6.1 and WM 6.5(Tom Topaz ROM)

iGo 8 and TomTom 7 work just fine and are probably the best navigation software at the moment...

Im running TT7 and Mobile XT works like a charm

using NDrive...and works very well

TomTom, iGO8 and iGO amigo
See my signature. all 3 working fine, TT is a little bit stretched out because of the WVGA screen but works fine.

iGO 8.3.x Fatal Error - Exception: 0xc0000094 At address: 0x03fad178
Hi all,
Meanwhile I've tested some different iGO 8.3.x builds (83157/87762/91972/92992) which all use to crash (sooner or later) with the same error message (as mentioned above).
This happens sometimes every 5 minutes or it doesn't happen for a couple of days (with trips not longer than around 30 minutes).
At one day for instance I had 4 crashes on my way to a customer (around 240 km) and "only" one on my way back (and this one after 10 minutes of travelling and then no crash for two hours).
I've tried different skins (or the default one) as well as different settings concerning the terrain details.
Sometimes it seemed to me to happen quite offen when I was receiving a call. But today I was navigating for two hours and received many calls without any crashes.
I would be very thankful for every helpful hint. Probably somebody of you could tell me about a iGO package (build/data.zip/branding.zip/skin/sys.txt) that is working ok with a TD2.
By the way: I'm using TMC with a GNS TrafficBoxplus FM9BT-Y.

AutoMapa
Navigation system AutoMapa Europa XL 5.5 works very good on Topaz. It is best like igo8 .

TomTom and TD2 no GPS
What settings to use to get GPS working with TomTom?
It´s works fine with Google Maps and IGO..

Hi
I have managed to install at the same time IGO 8, TomTOM, Garmin mobile XT and Sygic, all working OK

Navigator for Topaz
I have been using TT7(v.7.915.9196) and iGo8(v.8.3.2.71348) from my Diamond, Blackstone and my Topaz but i find Copilot 7 more compatible with this device, no lag and small memory footprint.

I had a lot of trouble with Copilot: the trial version didn't make a difference in types of roads. It sends me through sandroads and living-areas where it doesn't need to. I prefer Tomtom but the lag problem gave me troubles also (tt giving wrong speeds, stopping to work and needing a restart, wrong positioning).
I now use Igo8 and that's the 1 that works fine for me! (but al small lag also).

I use Destinator 7 and it works fine.

Haven't you forgotten something? As far as I know, TT doesn't work in the official version which is offered by TT on their website e.g. on microSD.
This means one has to rely on a cracked version to make it run on D2 or its T-Mobile clone.
Or has TT lastly presented a legal version to be run on Topaz?

I'm struggling with this too and I think I will have to use hacked maps until it's officially supported. Reason being is I am not being given an activation code as I downloaded directly to my TD1 using the officially supported software
What TT7 version and maps are you guys using? PM links please?

Navigon works fine
I've got Navigon MN7.4.2 build 802 with Q2-Europe maps running fine on it. Only mistake it has is, that road signs with lots of names on not fit perfect. Means the names not all fit on the sign, but this doesn't matter for me ^^

I'm running Garmin Mobile XT (v5.00.20) with no problems . Speech works fine, but yet to try it via bluetooth.

I have installed on my TD2 TomTom 7.915 and Copilot
Live 7. Both work on the device but for me Copilot is more compatible with TD2.

I have used destinator 8,miomap,polnav,garmingoogle mapsmapmy india and garmin all working gr8

Polaris - GPS unit missing !?

Hello !
I have a Polaris/TC with TomTom7 installed. It has worked fine but
suddenly when I try to use TomTom I got the message "GPS-unit missing"
I have downloaded "quick_GPS" several times, done soft reset, checked that
internal antenna is used in TT etc. but no luck !
Please help me with some ideas for toubleshooting, I realy liked my TomTom !
/Staffan

Hm, could be hardware error... or, hopefully, borked COM settings in TomTom.
So first try COM settings (check what settings TomTom requires).
Then try some other NAV software (any would be good, even freeware - there's a lot of them. Google Maps might do).
Then you might try pain-in-the-ass option of hard reset.
If after that it's not working, then only repair remains...

Thanks for answer my question.....
Im always in a hurry, so I uppdated my TC to wm 6.1 and after that
TomTom decided to work again ! (don´t ask me why)
BUT ! as an old guy (56) its not so easy to remember every thing, I forgot to
backup my phone...and my numbers to the sim-card
So I have had a nice evening recover all phone-numbers.....
I have another issue, I have eraesed the standard TomTom from
TC and installed a better one.
Now I how to get the shortcut for TT on the start/main screen ??

Ah... I'm not much younger (49), but as IT manager I ALWAYS do backup...
You have not erased TT (uninstalled, temporary... since it's part of official ROM. So it's gone untill next hard reset).
I use standard HTC Home plugin, so I added my GPS software (iGO) as one of the shortcuts on tab 3.
However, you can use Windows Commander Mobile to easily put shortcut to anything practically anywhere.
Or you can simply select TT and add it to Start menu instead of something else...

If I may ask, where did you get you version of WM 6.1 (HTC, XDA-Devs etc)? If XDA, which particular one of the various "cooked" (I think thats the term..) ROMs. I have been looking at upgrading recently and would value your opinon on the version you are using..
Cheers,
IJ

My WM 6.1 is from HTC site.
Since my device was never SIM-locked, I was able to upgrade existing 6.0 to 6.1.
I have heard that most SIM-locked devices were not allowed to upgrade from HTC site.
Have not yet tried cooked ROMs...
My opinion of upgrading to 6.1 is stated somewhere on this forum... just search for my posts...

Tomtom 6 on HD2

I have tomtom navigater 6 I used on an old phone with WM5.
Reading various thread it apears people have been having problems with older versions of TT7, but I can't find anything about TT6.
Will I encounter problems if I try to load this onto my HD2.

It works kinda. YOu have to install the WVGAFIX (search the forum). It worked (kinda) on my X1 and also with my HD2 (just installed on both because I was curious) - but I don't want to use it because the investment for TT7 or MN7 is really worth it. TT6 is definitely not at all the optimal solution for HD2.

Try googling GPS underground they advise loads on Tomtom and compatibility

iGo is the best but wouldnt say no to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHB_8_4cBw4
why care tom tom if may or may not causing a problem while you have other options with may not causing the problem

Hi Taliz
Installed TT6 on my XDA11 and XDA11I worked fine without any other 3 party apps/progs or tweeking. Now have TT7 on my HD2 the only prog I had to get was for the full 7 digit GB postcodes to work once installed no bother.
Huntersbane

Hi me again.
TT6 worked for me but kept freezing on my XDA 11I so upgraded to 7.9 and worked fine.
As I said now have the same TT7.9 on my HD2. Works a treat.
Huntersbane

seems you solved, but for other users.. HERE the HD2 tomtom 7.9 thread, the software is downloadable for free..license is required for maps
