Hi there,
Can anyone suggest an Australia GPS Navigation software to be used on my Hong Kong Traditional Chinese version of HD2. I am going for a trip of 12 days in Australia so even a test or trial version software is okay.
Thanks in Advance.
garmin is good .. i like it !
I thought Garmin no longer makes GPS software for general WM market but only to Asus only, can we still get the software somewhere? If so, can you pm me the links?
Try iGO8 or Copilot 7 or 8. For iGO8 you should be able to download various maps, etc from PPCWarez.org. I have it on my Telstra HD2 and it works very nicely. I also have CoPilot 7 and this too works well. Good Luck

Can you pm me the links for both software? I would like to give them a try.
Sygic is pretty good too..
Can't go past Tomtom. I use it all the time.

I use the igo and it seems to work great.
another site for gps stuff. (hopefully Im not breaking forum rules...dunno)

dear friends
just to update you gps works with google maps on htc-s730 sample and also in the software of the unit it self you can find htc gps software that will show you gps is working and finiding sat signal.
love the unit
but must say bit slow and i hope it s just the sample rom and in the futere it will be better
so does the HTC S730 have GPS built in ?
or do you have to use an external bluetooth gps reciever ?
htc-s730 samplese are shipped
gps is built in !!!
can you confirm this with a source? i cant find anything about built-in-gps on the S730..
htc-s730 samplese are shipped
i cant send a link
but can assure you its in i have it in my hands
Any idea when Orange Uk will get this? I can't wait!
HTC S730 with GPS!!
well pdadb.net and HTC.com use to show that its with GPS but not any more i have found this url ( http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news3075.html )showing orange version..
Mods i am sorry if i break the forum rules by adding the above link..
this will be my dream phone. if it does have gps built in.
the link above shows a completely different mobile.. check www.htc.com for the S730.. and i seriously doubt it has GPS
hi, i think the link above is showing future version of orange which will be as usual different from HTC brand.
Gps Is Working

just made 2 movies at home in israel and loaded for you all to view that built in is working on sample unit.
hope for all of us on shipped rom too.
thanks
im definately getting this phone now. as long as it has the gps hardware builtin. im sure someone here can enable it to work on the rom. or maybe in the future a rom is released where it is enabled.
the rrp price for this on expansys is £314
hey there motin. could you test it with tomtom navigation software. and post a video if possible
regards
sorry not convinced.. wouldnt gmaps show "gps active" with bluetooth mouse also? dont want to call you a liar or faker.. but still, not convincing..

ok i did not make all this to convince you so wait for your shipped version and maybe you will be lucky and get your gps open on the shipped rom
in any case i dont have tom tom to try on the phone.
but i am sure you can fwd it to me . some how
also please look on the screen can you see teh bluetooth icon appering on the today screen ?
The problem will probably be the same as I had with a Nokia 6110 Navigator.
U can install TomTom. It will work fine, but there will be no way to use the internal GPS. At least I could not accomplish this on the Nokia.
U can probably install TT 6.03 on the s730, but u will have to mess around with FakeCursor. For me, personally, This is not a good solution. Too much hassle to use the address lookup.
IF I get the S730, I will probably use TT5.21, with external GPS or maybe internal, with GPS gate. Using Touch/Elf for the moment.
htc-s730
gd day have managed to install the tom tom software today will test and see if the gps is working and will upload a movie for you all.
nice day
htc-s730 gps enabled

I was just looking at the Garmin Mobile™ XT software that works on top of the mobile phone gps, and it lists the HTC s730 as compatible with their mobile software. Looks like a good sign to me.....not sure it is ok to do this or not, so sorry if it is not, but here is the web site for the Garmin software.....
https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=11413
thanx for that motin. just need to clarify whether the final products have the GPS hardware in it. and whether it just needs enabling...
kind of similar with the htc trinity.
have a qeustion wil tomtom 6.030 work on touch diamond 2 because i have dis one all ready
i really hope its gonna work
tnx
hope somebody response
No, you'll need Tomtom 7, which you can get from this forum. Tomtom 7 does not work with your version 6 maps, so you'll have to purchase new maps. Yes it sucks. Also, you cannot move your Tomtom services, such as Traffic, over to your TD2. This is because Tomtom refuse to support the device.
Sorry for the bad news.
Personally, I'm so pissed off with Tomtom that I'm seriously considering using something else like IGo.
tom tom
yes i'am not gonna buy the tom tom 7 i'am really mad too
i have igo 8 also then i'm just gonna put that one on my td2
really tom tom sucks for not make tom tom 6 work on td2
thanks for your answer you really help me out
GRTZ
tomtom 6 with tt6 maps works fine on TD2, I had 6.75 working with all maps of europe.
Why work with tomtom6 when you can get tomtom7.9 with the latest 830 maps..??
hi, sorry for being a noob but....
I just installed tomtom 7 7.910.9185 VGA but it wont show an icon in my all programs' list.

Sounds like a pirated version?
tomtom
Hey all! On my phone it is that version that works perfectly! If there are problems with the voices, simply copy the voices folder on your memory card!
http://rghost.ru/310020
I got ttn7.915.9196.vga_black_yarda working here perfectly with with Western-Europe 830.2307. It came in my All-programs list and i added it myself to the "today"-screen with comes with your HTC.
Hello
Where should I put the voices folder?
When I start the tt7 they ask me to add a new card, then I go directly on the website to choose the card I download it but then where should I install it ?
Thank you
Voices goes in the root directory of the SD card. Same as the maps directory.
Latest tt7 bought from tt on 4GB microSD does'nt install nor work

How did you do it, man?
I bought the SD-Card TomTom 7 with Europe_1GB maps (825 built 2159) offered on TomTom's website since some weeks.
Neither install, manual install, TomTom Home nor something else works.
The extracted "TomTom Navigator.exe" and also the Home app 2.6 refused to support my O2 TDII device.
Then I installed 7.910.9185 black VGA, but I was only able to download one city map. My bought Europe maps are recogniced, but rejected when I select it through menu "maps change".
How can I make use of my Product code now? Or is there any chance at all?
Please help, or send me some hints by PM.

You have to make a shortcut to windows\startmenu\programs.
You can copy the file and paste it as a shortcut to the programs folder with explorer. If you don't like the name "Shortcut ..." you can rename the shortcut to whatever you like.
If you now look at your programs than you will see your shortcut. There is also the problem of the clipped voice. You can run any audio program except Media Player with a silent audio file, then the voice clipping is gone.
You can also search for the audio problem fix. Someone has made a cab file to fix al the problems in one installation.

Tomtom 6 'memory access violation' ideas wanted!
Had Tomtom 6 (fully legal) working fine on my Kaiser. On TD2/Topaz, whatever I do (soft,hard reset, load from different sources) I get the same 'Tomtom cannot start: memory access violation' msg. Internet search shows lots of people with same prob, but no answers or workarounds. Seems to me might be screen/display related as TT starts to load but with squashed format before hanging. Reluctant simply to buy TT7 in case a) that exhibits the same prob and TT specifically do not support the TD2/Topaz at the mo and b) some people seem to have got TT6 working fine on TD2.
Any ideas gratefully appreciated- might have to have a look at iGo as previous poster suggested, which is a shame as have used Tomtom since v2.
Thanks,
Tony

Although I haven't tried it myself I believe it is mainly a screen size issue, if you use the "WVGAFIX3_BY_Cotulla" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455974 and change the res TT6 will work.
If you try let us know how you get on.

Tomtom doesn't give any Resolution errors, so it should work for any resolution, but the Tomtom Version Tomtom 7.910
Tomtom 7.910 needs v 8.XXX maps, but you should be careful some map versions are only for PNAs ... You you should download the maps compatible with PDA or PDA&PNA
Tomtom is the best for Europe, but I do not like its simplicity, I like iGO 8.3.X Maps are updated monthly
Tomtom can not identify your device's com ports as well, for example, it may find your internal gps as a bluetooth gps, or viceversa.. So you should search for any kind of gps device in settings of tomtom in case if it does not recognize automatically

Its not true...
QVGA TT doesnt work on VGA or WVGA.
Maps are update continualy via map share.
TT identify COM ports without problems on all HTC devices or zou can set port manually.
any lag on tomtom?
On the videos looks like tomtom have a lag of 20 30 meters, and trying myself igo and copilot doesnt have lag at all, so, why use tomtom?
Guys here you'll find all latest TT. For sure on HD2 you should use VGA version:

I shared QVGA version of 7.910 on one web site, but before sharing I tried it on Htc HD, Htc Diamond, Htc Diamond 2, Htc TyTN II. So these resolutions are, QVGA, VGA, WVGA.
TT sometimes identify your Internal GPS as a bluetooth GPS, I say this information if some can not find their internal GPS, aim is to help to solve issues not to say bad things about TT.
If you have licensed version you may find correct maps, but ones that do not have should be careful to download maps that are compatible with PDA.
Regards.
Anyone has the same problem?
I've tried TT 7.910, 7.915 and 7.916, but all have a refresh lag.. So normally the screen (your position) is updated every second, but at my HD2 it updates in 5 or 7 seconds!
I've tried the internal GPS as wel the COM4 and 9600 baud GPS...
Google Maps works perfect (as far as I can see).
Don't know what to do about it.
Anyone?
Xmoo, The TomTom application works indeed but as soon as it starts it says it can't find any maps and then tries to make an internet connection in order to download maps at www.htc-citymaps but it then results in an error as the webpage doesn't exist.
How do you get TomTom to work with the maps and speech ?
Note: the installation CAB was 9 MB's hardly enough to conatin a full working navigation tool so it's clear that i'm missing data.
TT Maps n voices
black vga cab is 13.3MB - no voices, no maps no htc-citymaps - no joy....
Any help...anyone?
I have searched and read every TomTom thread I could find, but I could find no information about TomTom working in the US, with US maps.
Does anyone have TomTom working on Tmobile USA HD2?
If so, what version of TomTom and where did you get your maps?
I will gladly pay TomTom for the software and maps, but it doesn't show USA maps available when I selected the HD2.
I don't want to spend money for something that doesn't work with USA maps.
Thanks
Working TomTom Tmobile USA
So this weekend, I installed the modified cab from the following thread on my Tmobile HD2 stock rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647096
I can say that it worked perfectly!
Once installed, TomTom allowed me to choose 1 map to download at no charge.
I choose the Orlando Florida Metro area map and after testing it this weekend everything works great!
I don't know if this map is only a 30 trial, but it did prove to me that it works on our USA HD2.
I will gladly purchase voices and complete USA maps if I can figure out how...
Wow.. glad I found your post.. Tomtom looks and works super slick on the HD2. Just a quick question.. After downloading the free map.. I went to tomtom and went to download maps and when I selected the HD2 the US maps aren't available.. I also tried to download from the app itself.. you run into this?
Arrived in Saudi a couple months ago and wnt back to my Nokia N93 just for navigation simply coz i cant find one for the tab that works in Saudi Arabia.
Can anyone pleas advise if you know of a navigatio app for the Tab that works here?
No reply after 3 days. Sould I accept that there isn't such or maybe its just not enough time to get an answer? Whichever I appreciate the effort. Thanks!
i would of though googlemaps coverd everywhere, but have you tried;
Navigon
Ndrive
CoPilot
yea tried, all I get is "Google Maps is not yet available in this location"
Nokia navigation works but then I have to have an extra phone just to have navigation.
Any ideas for Saudi Arabia are very welcome!
I use copilot live and thinking about navigon since I lke it on my iphone
try Navigon.
