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.

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

Hey,
what GPS software can you recommend for the S710?
I have read that people got TT6 to run. Are there any other that would also work well on this pocket pc without a touchscreen?
Please let me know,
Groder
Gps Software
I believe that route 66 works quite well but some twaeks are needed and u will need to install fake cursor
No, not at all.
Just use R66 Mobile 7 for WM-smartphones, it works like a charme.
Alternative: TomTom Mobile 5.2 (TTM6 doesn't exist for WM-Smartphones, just Symbian), but the maps are older.
Gx
I will give Route 66 a try then. I have never used it before. I was using iGo on my HTC Wizzard and I really liked it. Unfortunately it's touchscreen based.

I don't know how many people out there use IGuidance, but I do. I LOVE IT. The only problem is I just paid for the new version of IGuidance ( V4.0 ) and am experiancing a lot of problems. First off, the biggest problem is how SLOW it is. I can start it up fine, and get a fix no problem. The SLOWNESS comes when i start driving. It just freezes up, until i come to a stop and then 5 seconds later it will update with the spot and tell me what to do from there.
My old IGuidance V3.04 would show me driving, give me my speed, and give me up-to-date information on when i would need to be turning.
Now, I thought it was my bluetooth slowing it down; cause i use my bluetooth to listen to the voice prompts, but turning that off did nothing for me. STILL SLOW.
I don't know if anyone else is experiancing this. Is this just a dutty 6.1 RTM problem or is this a IGuidance V4 problem? I hope its just the RTM, because I PAID FOR THE IGuidance! Please help me.
Wow, soo no-one knows the fix for this? Anyone tried IGuidance V4 on an earlier build?
i just finished installing iGuidance V4 on my phone (which has Dutty's 6.1), and am going to be using it tonight. I will post my results on how well it is working etc... when i get a chance. Which radio version are you using. Changing radios may help the problem...
it seems as though a lot of people use TomTom so maybe that's why you aren't getting very much response...
i did use iGuidance V4 on an earlier version of Dutty's WM6. It worked perfectly. Although a lot of people have reported problems with GPS and WM6.1
check out this threat first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368373&highlight=iguidance
I have iGuidance 4.0. I had the exact problem with other ROMs, but not with Dutty's 6.1 (5.2.19199).
My radio: 16.54.06.04
If you have S2A, disable that program. Lastly, set your Power and don't let it goes to suspend or turn if the device if not used in X minute.
If that doesn't work, try a different ROM. if it doesn't work, I am out of idea. Sorry...
It's the 6.1 rom, I had this with Sleuths 6.1 rom as well, stepped back to a 6.0 rom and iG4 works great.
I'm gonig to try this on Dutty's new 6.1 hopefully it will fix things.
Off Topic and I apologize, but this weekend I was about to drop $150 to buy tomtom, ditching Telenav which ATT gave me. But I noticed iGuidance is $109; Which would you prefer, TomTom or iGuidance? I've tried Google Maps and Windows Live, they can be used under certain circumstances, but I need something similar, or preferably, better than Telenav which I'm used to using currently.
Also, did you see this on their website?
"*** Note: v4 has conflict w/ ATT 8925 gprs. Need to turn gprs off until iGuidance is launched."
Iguidance has TTS. The poi searching is disappointing at best.

that has actually ALWAYS been a problem even with the 8525. But, alas, it doesn't help us at all with our 8925. Has anyone tried using dutty's new release as of the 20th? I'm installing now and will give feedback.

iNav is quite good, even with the minor bug of having to stop any active data connection before starting. For your $109 you get the PPC, Plus PC, Plus UMPC versions of the program on the DVD which is nice if you play with laptops or tablets. The TTS street names is nice and the general product is well above average. I own 5 nav progs tom tom included, and prefer iG4 personally.
As one of Dutty's beta testers, I can verify that if you follow the directions I link to in the thread below that iGuidance will work properly. Again, this is not related to Dutty's rom, but rather 6.1 in general.

Seems Telenav has TTS, and Points of Interest, etc. and checks for traffic and doesn't have a problem starting up with the net connection active, actually its required; so the only REAL issue with TeleNav is its dependency on the Internet? I like that IG4 includes SW for the Laptop as well, that would be kewl. Points of Interest doesn't concern me too much. Oh well, sorry to stay off topic. But I was just trying to figure out where to spend my hard earned money. I'm just wondering why I should leave TeleNav, but I guess the internet thing is a big deal.
use GPSgate
I have iguidance v4 for a few months. yes, i have very similar problem and the workaround is to use GPSgate. you have to google for it. Download the trial version and launch gpsgate prior iguidance. it should fix your problem.
I love my iGuidance V4... The POI in my area are perfect. Took me a bit of time switching from Garmin to iNav... but anyways... The only 6.1 Rom that I've had no problems at all with iGuidance is "The end is nigh DeathV2" w/ Radio 1.65.20.29
I used Joe1981AL method and it works. No need for GPS gate. Just run mr_magoo script.

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

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).

TT7 works, but i cant get any 7 maps to work... strange...
I installed TT7 on my Cruise, it works perfectly. It even proposed me to download a free map which I did )

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
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...

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

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.

HTC touch diamond2
I have tried installing iGO numerous times but can not get it to work, the first install seemed to work but when I tried to make it operate landscape clockwise it froze up never to work again. Every subsequent install fails even after hard reset.
I have been told by my iGO seller that it conflicts with google maps
How can I remove google maps? It wont let me. (if that is the problem)
Your (re)seller it's a sucker
IGO 8 and Google map don't have any conection...
Google Maps it's in the ROM and you can't uninstall it.
Try NavNGo Igo8 V8.3.2.64873 it's work very well.
The copy That I am having all the trouble with is
iGO8 v8.3.2.71348.
I have the same problem since I flashed my last ROM (TESS 3.3 - which is a great ROM after all).
Try another ROM because on my previous ROM it worked fine.
Later edit:
I'm coming back with more details.
I flashed Dutty Leo R4 and iGo worked very well.
Then I flashed TESS 3.4 (because I'm more comfortable with Manila 2.1) and iGo worked as well.
I don't know what's the difference between TESS 3.3 and 3.4 (Aman told us there's only some changes to Manila) but with the last version iGo works just fine.
It's not related to Google Maps anyway.
(iGo version is 8.3.2.97313)
Resller
I concur about the reseller
IGo and Google Maps have nothing in common. All the Igo software is only in the igo folder. I have tried every version of igo without problems
