Hi all,
when im using tomtom it seems that always my car is 100m ahead of what tomtom (or GPS)say. I got my Mega updated with tomtom home 2.7, both mapshare and quickGPSfix.
anyone know what happens?

Hi,
does anybody know, if the TomTom Navigator work on an MDA2. I've got my MDA2 since monday and i am not able to get TomTom Navigator (Version2 incl. the newest Updates) running. The installation-process works fine, but if I start the installed software, I get the lovely circling wheel in the middle of the screen...and that's all...hmmm...so, does anybody got a working installation of tomtom2 on an MDA2 or an XDA2 ???
Next question:
Does anybody have experiences with a Bluetooth-GPS-Mouse on a MDA2 (maybe this question is not very important, if the answer of the question above will be nefative ;-)

There's a thread on Bluetooth GPS and the XDA II/MDA II (http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3341)
in which there is an answer to both your questions.
Haven't seen anything new lately on either topic:
- Tom Tom with any kind of GPS
- Bluetooth GPS
I had the same problem, then I tried a different SD (128 instead of 256) card for map storage and it works. I remember TomTom having the same problems with Ipaq 5450’s until HP issued a fix.
I’ve just ordered a Bluetooth GPS.. Looks like I’ve got more problems ahead.

Please keep us informed, regardless if the Bluetooth GPS fails or not..
By the way: I read a review of the new Toshiba E800 PDA (which has a 480x640 screen :shock: and beautiful indigo color (finally something else)) and the author mentioned testing the PDA with a Rikaline Bluetooth GPS receiver.
At first, he had difficulties connecting the Toshiba and the Rikaline, but managed to solve it by setting TomTom to 'Bluetooth Card' instead of 'COM6'.....
Might be worth a try :?:
Take care :!:
There is no 'Bluetooth Card' setting on Navigator 2.
I still can't get it to work.
Help!

:roll: I guess it has to do with the Bluetooth Manager of the Toshiba then...
Nothing left but wait for Tom Tom updates and more MDA2 Bluetooth profiles
Somebody101, will you try something, install maps to main memory and see if that works, I know you can only install a portion but I would be interested to hear the results.
I've tried both Helmis and Ibashas 3.5 ROMS and they are brilliant, but I have one issue with both that I cannot solve.
How do I configure TT6 with BT GPS - I also use a BT headset.
Tried to follow the "old" TT5 manual for Universal and TT5 from this forum, but I cannot select outgoing port to 8.
I've tried outgoing port to 4 and program port 5 and it works ok.
Problem arises when I pair my BT headset also, if it is switched on, when I start TT there is no connection to the GPS, and consequently TT cannot find any satelittes.
Switch off the headset and restart TT and everything is fine again.
A few times it has happened that I get the BT pairing dialog box up after a while with TT started (headset on!) and has entered the passkey again.
So I wonder what settings I should use to be able to use both BT headset and TT6 with a BT antenna, anyone seen/solved this??????
I've tried 2 dif. BT headsets and 2 diff. GPS mice with both ROMS.
Best regards

Nobody experienced this or know how to solve it?
Waiting....
Ok, so nobody knows?
I will try on Buzznet then.

I read in tom tom website, tom tom 6 is not compatible with all device. For example in my case, I use O2 XDA II . Unfortunately tom tom 6 doesn't work with my device so I still use tom tom 5.21
Actually TT6 works exceptionally well with your device, which is the same as mine! - If it wasn't for this BT headset issue that is, it actually think it runs faster and smoother than it does on my JasJar!
But if you want to run it in landscape mode, you have to have either WM 2003 2. edition or even better WM5 in order to be able to use landscape (TT6 doesn't have that facility anymore).
And then you get the issue with the BT headset, which I reckon someone must know how to solve, even if it is a bit strange, nobody gives me any answers, not here and not on XDA-Developpers.
I would so much like to know if this is a known issue with this device and WM5, or if it is too trivial a question for anyone to bother to answer??????

TomTom 6 works perfectly on my xda 2, you are obviously on about the backlight issue, which can be fixed easily
Ok, but can you use a BT headset also?????
I had been using iGuidance4 on my old Samsung i730 off a 4GB SD Card. It worked very well . I used it syncing with a BT iTrekM5+ BT GPS Receiver (MTK Chipset) in my wife's car and with a Parrot 3400 LS-GPS (it is an intergrated Hands free BT and GPS receiver).
I have recently upgraded my phone to a HTC Touch Cruise and am using iGuidance4 now on a 6GB MicroSDHC card. It works flawlessly with my Parrot and iTrek Receivers.
The problem that I am having is that iGuidance4 is barely working with the Touch Cruise inbuilt GPS. The phone runs on a Qualcomm MSM7200 (Chipset) @ 400MHz,and has bulit in GPS. The iGuidance program works in fits and starts with a very, very long lag time while running, so as to render the program unusable.
I thought that there may be a problem with the intergrated GPS on the phone, but I don't think that this is the case, because the inbuilt intergrated GPS of the Touch Cruise works perfectly with both Google Maps and Microsoft Live Search.
I wonder if anyone might have any thoughts
or suggestions on this problem.
I have also posted this on the PDAPhoneHome website (http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/pdaphone-discussion/100265-iguidance-4-htc-touch-cruise-polaris.html)
Thanks
Turnip
I would like to hear any updates on your problem as I intended to use iGuidance as well, mainly for its Text-To-Speech and Navteq maps.
Does anyone else have any other experience of getting iGuidance 4 to work with Touch Cruise? There seems to be a workaround using GPSGate described in pdaphonehome, but is this the only way to get it working?

On the TC, open iGuidance, go to Tool, then GPS Options, then COM Port, and select Com4
Then, go to the same area and set the Baud Rate to 9600.
If for some reason you've changed your settings, on your TC go to the Start Menu, Settings, System, and then click on External GPS to find out what your settings are.

Hi all
First post here so apologies if this has already been asked and answered...I haven't been able to find it.
I've just upgraded my O2 Orbit 1 for an O2 Orbit 2 to gain the remote sim access profile (rsap) that my VW Passat's hands-free system needs.
I also have Tom Tom Navigator on my Orbit 2.
Here's the question:
when my phone's paired with the car, I have no problems making or taking calls but when I switch on the Sat Nav, while the connection between the handset and the car doesn't appear to be lost, the phone signal is.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks
John
Hi Guys,
I've got the same problem with my Artemis an the blutooth premium of my golf.
The pairing with the phone is lost when i switch on tomtom.
Did you find a solution ?
Same problem as Lolo and did not find any solution until now.
Use McGuider
As far as the problem comes from tomtom and not from the GPS usage, we can use other navigation software like McGuider. I have tested, and it works fine.
I asked tomtom about this problem but no matter the problem is within their software. They did not want to know anything about it because their sofware continues working (is the rsap who goes down).
Tomtom is OK

Hi, have you any problems with the bluetooth after the installation of tomtom?
Could you try, please?
Thanks
Davide
the tomtom work fine with htc touch2
You shouldn't post warez links on here or you'll get barred!
If you like tomtom, have a search for Sygic Mobile Maps 10 - it's like a newer version of TomTom, maintains its simplicity whilst adding a few extra features and being a lot smoother, unlike Igo8 which is just too complicated...
sorry for noob question
Why do you need bluetooth to use GPS program? You just need to insall the program you want and launch it.

hi, i've downloaded these files but i dono how to install them. there's no .exe
i see setup.xml and more files with extension archive001,002,etc.
I've got this HTC TOUCH PRO2 special edition (T3320) from INDIA about a month back.(if i'm not wrong ,it's called HTC mega in europe ?)
Device information:
ROM: 1.32.1300.2 (72483)
ROM date: 12/16/09
Radio Ver: 3.50.25.15
At present i've installed Sygic. It detects the inbuilt GPS on com4 with baud rate of 4800. Everything works fine except: It doesn't catch any satellites. i kept it on for more than 45mins but no signal. Is there anyting i can do ?... i've downloaded this tom tom to try it out.
Please help me either to get the sygic working or installing this Tom TOm.
thanks in advance n
regards.

Looks like this is only a theme / skin for QVGA devices. TomTom is not freeware, so you need to buy it.
From what I read so far:
MEGA is the code name for this device, it should be oficcially called "HTC TOUCH2", not "HTC TOUCH PRO2". The latter sounds like a completely different device.
The normal edition should be T3333, T3320 is a low cost india edition without 3g, and without GPS. So I guess without a bluetooth connected GPS mouse you will not get GPS. Maybe through the GSM + Google location services you can get a rough location on google maps, but nowhere near accurate as necessary for navigation (needs GPS).
Sorry

I guess he was thinking about a bluetooth GPS mouse, not about the integrated GPS in the T3333 / Touch2 / MEGA.
Actually also Wifi and GSM can somehow be used to get a location, but not really accurate at all. Not comparable with GPS anyway, and not enough for navigation.

That is called A-GPS or assisted GPS. Can be useful in places with bad GPS signal as extra help.
thanks guys for the info...
By the way, anyone know which version of map is compatible with the TOMTOM 7.916? I found it was not able to recognize my map which worked fine in previous version of TOMTOM.
Thanks!
thankssss...

Is your map activated? Or do you have an old map? There are many maps which work with 7.916.......all have different codes for windows mobile use.....
As example I use Europe 845.2647
If tomtom gives the bttrayce error look here:

Yellowfever is right: your device T3320 does not have a gps (built-in) receiver, so you can't use tomtom nor sygic mobile without an external gps receiver(connected via bluetooth)!
