Hi guys
There are loads of TomTom discussions but nothing i have found that helps me. Can any of you help. Before i waiste £28 on a map i cant get at
I bought an HTC HD2
Transfered my SD card over from my Touch HD and tried to load TT 7.14. it opened but didnt see my maps and i got the bluetooth error. So i installed the 7.15 peoplee here talked about, but still couldnt see my maps.
So i purchased new maps from TomTome site, plugged my HD2 into TomTom home 2.7.
TomTom home does not recognise the HD2 so i can not download my new maps.
Can i download my maps manually so i can put it onto TomTom myself, or have i just waisted £28?
Hey Mate i may be able to help,
Basically i had Tomtom 6 on my other xda handsets and transferred it over to the HTC HD2. now i did the same i brought the updated maps and the only way you can put it on your device is via the tomtom home, however tomtom home, newest edition doesnt work with mobiles, you have to download the older version 1.6 which is in small writting under the main download found on the website below
http://www.tomtom.com/services/service.php?id=16&tab=87
I had to contact tomtom cause i had same problem and he told me to do this, they say that HTC HD2 is not in there list as operating tomtom, but i told him mine works fine no problems and it still does, so this will help in getting the new maps on, all i can suggest is try this first and see if it see's the new maps.
what are you trying to do with bluetooth and tomtom to get bluetooth error??
nothing with bluetooth but when i install tomtom i get the usual bluetooth error.
cheers for the advice, i will try it and that you know
thanks

Hi
It is problem with tomtom and bloutooth. But you can by-pass this problem very easly. It dosent matter wich tomtom you install. I have installed ttn7.915.9196.qvga_black.cab and it is working perfect without any problem.
What you can do is!!
1) Install your tomtom as you used to.
2)Connect your HD2 to PC an syncronize it!
3) Open files on your HD2 and copy file name Navigator which is in file programs! copy whole file to your PC.
4) Then you have to unstall tomtom and reboot the phone
5)Then copy whole file as it is on your pc back to the phone!(navigator file)
If you click on tomtom navigator.exe then it will work as it was before. and it is no problem with bloutooth. But if you would like to have on your program list to that you can make short cut, you have to do this!
1) Now it is easy to make a file under progarms: You do such:
Start--- filemanaging---my unit(phone)---windows----start meny---programs
You make a new file. dosent matter the name.
2) copy file name tomtom navigator.exe to this file(look 1) Until here you can do it on your pc . But after that you have to do it on you HD2
3) Click on
Start--filemanaging--myunit---windows---start meny---programs---newfile(or what ever you gave name to).
4)push your finger on only file there by the name tomtom navigator.exe, then cut it.
5) click on up. It is left handside down. Then you are in the file programs.
6) pushyour finger somewhere on the screen.( Just like wright click on pc)
You chose her ;copy short cut.
7) now you can delet that file that is empety. If you dont it is ok.
It is finshed. If you click on start, you will find tomtom there now. If you did what I told you.
Good luck
thank you to both of you.

I have an issue with my new XDA IQ smartphone and TomTom 5.2
I've moved from an XDA SP - basically put the tomtom memory card (with 5.2 working fine on the SP) into the XDA IQ.
It all installed fine and I have the application short cuts.
I've got the new IQ to recognise Tomtom GPS receiver.
When I start the application the disclaimer screen appears with the option "I agree".
Once selected Tomtom bombs out back to the "desktop" - the blue tooth that tomtom triggered is still enabled but then when I try and do anything with the phone, its really sluggish and unresponsive. A soft reset sorts this out.
I've tried tomtom support, but I guess that always asking too much
I've used the application unlock as described on this forum to allow any app to be installed, but again this has made no difference.
I guess thats it! - i'll be trying out other methods tonight so if i find a solution I will update the thread for others with similar problems.
Many Thanks!
Ive managed to fix the issue with this.
Created a new notepad text document - entered the path of the map file into the text document
\Storage Card\Great-Britain-Map\
*note - you may need to amend the above location to reflect your installation.
Saved the text document and renamed it
CurrentMap.dat
then use activesync explorer to move it to
\My Documents\TomTom
create the TomTom directory if it does not exsist.
Then it works!
IT WORKS!!!
I was having exatly the same problems with my tomtom.
I had recently updatet my Qtek 8310 with new rom, but nothing worked.
Then i tried, solomons trick, ( a couple of times) and it worked , only issue was there was no shortscuts, but that i created.
Mr Solomon, you're great!!!

Hi,
probably a rather stupid question but still, bare with me..
i copied a garmin mobile xt (bought version) on my card and hoped it would work on my new polaris,... unfortunately it kept looking for an external gps unit via bluetooth, the problem is i can not delete it no metter what i do, if i try to do it in the phone it freezes, if i try it to do in my card reader it asys it cannot be removed,... (the garmin directory), if i try to delete the autorun from 2577 folder it says it cant but does delete it,.. however it reappeares wher reinserted in the reader..

I don't understand why you should delete it. Better get it working. I´m running Garmin both land and sea navigation on my Touch. Much better than TomTom. There are certain steps which needs to be taken in order for the Touch to identify your SDcard. If you have a bought version it shouldn´t be a problem to ask the Garmin people for help. It works perfectly with the internal GPS.
Good luck!
@andbertina: hehe actually i thought that 2, but when i called them (garmin reps) some time ago,.. first they accussed me of having a pirate version,.. so went home for the box and when i told the guy the number he said yes this was bought with a bluetooth gps and won't work with an internal,.. the new release works though but i should buy a new one as well (although mine has aroung half a year).. and that was about it,.. i'm using tomtom now, and will never buy garmin again..this one that i have was a present..
so when i wanted to delete the file (since it keeps asking if i want to install garmin at startup and even sometimes just like that in the middle of sth) it wouldn't as described in previous post
thnx for the reply

It´s fine that you are happy with your TT but the HTC version has some bugs in voice program that I didn´t like.
I don´t think the Garmin rep. knew what he was talking about. Check GPS-passion forum below and the links for ideas. You are not alone in world with Garmin problem to be solved.
http://www.gpspassion.com/FORUMSEN/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=57782
Good luck.
I can imagine a Garmin representative like that can spoil the fun, but I can tell you imho Garmin Mobile XT is far superior over TomTom. The maps are better and prettier, the voices are better, the indications are better.
hi thanx fir the reply, .. i know how garmin is i had it on may nokia till now, but was not able to upload the maps (again original) and the software was not able to find gps uni since it kept scanning the bluetooth,.. so i decided to go with tomtom,.. if garmin would work than i would probably stick with it,.. unfortunately it was to big of a piece for me to swallow if i put it like this :d ... and for the final act i can not delete the install file as well so it keeps bugging me wanting to instal.. doooh
anyone else ,... pls
Have you checked if the SD card is locked ?
did ,.. wasn't..
anyways, my friend succeded,.. but to tell you the truth, since we were doing on other issues didn't remembered to ask him,.. yet
On my very first tilt I was able to install a nice version of WLS that included GPS directions and local information look-up. I'm currently running ROMeOS on my Fuze and it came with a new version of Windows Live that looks and acts nothing like that one I had. I was instructed to go to http://wls.live.com, which from Opera is a complete failure. When loaded in IE it does detect my phone, however, when I go to download it I am told the file cannot be found.
So I beg of you please, can someone post the .cab file if they have it. I know I cannot be the only one who preferred this program over Google Maps.
I have TomTom7 installed but lacking a MicroSD card to load the maps. Which reminds me, what is the largest MicroSD the Fuze will support?
I went to the same address you did. You can either use IE to do it, or with Opera just click on the link that acknowledges it doesn't know what phone you have and then manually select the WM6 download.
See if this is the one you are looking for
@AvengerBB
When I click that acknowledge link, that's when I get the error. Also had the same problem on my Tilt.
@supps2
Thank you, trying it now!
EDIT - Exactly what I wanted, thank you! Now to fix my damn data problems.
Ok...so in a moment of stupidity I deleted the Co-Pilot folder thinking that I would never use it because I have the Tom Tom app. However, I now want to give it a whirl. Can I re-download the free demo anywhere?
You could always re-flash the official HTC ROM from their web site. If you have a locked phone to your carrier, you have to use hard hspl or something like that - search the forum for that, as I have a sim free phone so have never had to worry about it. Sadly re=flashing will lose any programs you have installed, and personalisations made. I found Microsoft myphone was great for backing up texts, and the normal PC mobile centre did most other things. I have a folder on my HD2 called CAB where I put all of the cab files for programs that i am likely to want to install again. Whaat I have learned is do NOT use mobile cnter and myphone to back up and resync your contacts, or they will all be duplicated. All of these systems are Microsoft, but they cannot understand that the information is the same.
Good luck.
Thanks man. When I get some free time I shall have a crack at it.
Or easier still, download the cab from http://www.multiupload.com/CQNXQAVFRG (thanks to Xanny Tech), stick it on your SD card via USB, then use file explorer on your HD2 to find the cab and install CoPilot.

Hi everyone!
Anyone tried iGo for Android? I'd like to use it on my Kaiser, but there is a problem in screen size (resolution). I'm not able to cofigure it...
its workign great with hero
I had it on my Hero, but felt it was quite sluggish and slow.
I was using copilot live 8 and thought I'd evaluate iGo, but compared to copilot it didn't like it.
I will be sticking with copilot until TomTom decides to lauch their verson for the android.
I preferred iGo over TomTom on my touch diamond when I used that. It was much better than CoPilot and Navigon but the IGo My Way for android that I downloaded to use on my HTC Desire had a very low resolution so it was constantly just displayed on a third of my screen
When I tried iGo on my HTC Kaiser with Android, it was slow. Actions had delays, and even the 3D was slow.
iGo is great on Windows Mobile, but not for Android.
i have it too...i think it works kinda great....but does someone have a date when tomtom is going to come to android???
have it on my xperia and love it too
I need this app because it have the best maps of my country, but i have Acer Liquid with WVGA and i have the screen issue.
Has anyone found any solution???
You're talking about an official iGo version for Android or the motonav one ?
I use motonav with my desire and navigation is OK
I used the windows mobile version with my Omnia and "basic" navigation is exactly the same.
Now i'm waiting for an official version for android with more features than just "basic" navigation (Real time traffic, POI etc ...)
I tested it a while ago and it was rather slow, strange because it was running fine on my windows mobile HTC Touch2 which is a lot less performant than my current Samsung Galaxy S i9000.
I've then moved to Sygic mobile maps and I love it. It works very fast, has all the features I need and looks nice too
kongar thanks for your hard work. I did notice that while in night mode the sign post and land information signs are cut off at the bottom. I did not notice this for the day mode.
maps?
Anyone have maps for "iGo my way" i need map for sweden but having a hard time finding any..
You are right about the bug. I have the same issue.
I get a popup "Please insert your SD card containing iGO content files."
I have the iGO My Way folder on my sd card with content, license, and
scheme subfolders with all files and the map of my state.
Any advice??

Thank You, that was the problem!!!!! Renamed folder now it's working!
My igo8 map for Oklahoma from Windows Mobile works, but the poi does not. Any links to working poi's?
i have the ARIA with smaller screen resolution. Anyone have the appropriate APK for that?
Just to be clear, I had IGO8 on windows mobile. if I run the right version for my Aria, will it execute (so long as I rename the folder IGO instead of IGO8)?
When i try to open igo,i have this message:"missing or incomplete folder:igo/license".what i did wrong???thx!!!
