Title says all.
I've only experienced TomTom 6 and now i'm using v7. I find it quite slow to be honest. I expected more from it. I'm using UDK R7 and my device is quite fast. But TomTom 7 disapoints me a bit.
Has any1 tried another application that runs faster and does a nice job?
Hi there,
I currently use iGo, it's really faster and more efficient than tomtom !

I must agree!
I'm very pleased with iGo!
That depends on which part of world you live in and whether all the required maps are available .. !
Agreed with previous poster.
But, if you live in Europe, specially Eastern Europe, iGO is the best.
iGo iGo iGo..... By far. the only delay I've ever experienced is on load with iGo is geo-caching the addresses - UK based.
Seems i buck the trend and use TomTom7 - i have igo8 on it as back up but find its not as good for finding address with postcodes.
I prefer the UI in igo8 but i prefer the use in TT7
Mobile Navigon 7 (PDA version) could also be a good choice; I use it for over 6 month by now (with my X7500) and is really good. I also have the iGo 8 (full Europe ... cracked ) and TT 6 (full Europe licensed); from all, I prefer Navigon 7 (also full Europe and licensed).
Cheers.
ok, i will try some of there and see, im werry tierd of tomtom...
i like tomtom but im using Ndrive v3 and is very fast and very complete here in portugal... but i like to try igo for a few days with europe map...
Hi,
This is probably a silly question but will iGo read TomTom maps? I've got TomTom 6 but judging from the praise for iGo on this thread it looks worth a go but I'm concerned about having to buy a new Western Europe map.

Hmmm... not sure the maps are the same format...
Actually, I believe they are not. iGO format is *.fbl, but there are also buildings, POIs, speedcams...
When you buy iGO, you also state for what area. My iGO came with maps for 26 Central/East European countries...
There are several packages, so choose wisely.
I've TomTom7 and Igo8 R3 on my Poalris.
But the favorite is IGO8 Igo is faster and the skins are great.
Leo
Mobile Navigator 7 is my favorite. fast...very nice skin... nice features and the most important thing: its stable
Garmin Mobile XT works fine
Remarkable that none has picked Garmin Mobile XT as the best so far. I use it with great pleasure both in the car with Europe NT9 and onboard the boat with the BlueChart Maps.

I just had a look on the Garmin site - it is not clear whether you can buy the nav software for the PPC, or do you have to get the nav hardware?
i was going to try iGo but the maps are old and there's nothing worse than being steered into a brick wall.
Garmin
Garmin Mobile XT, then add the maps you need
It is nearly the same GUI and software you find in the Garmin devices, with additional features related to connectivity
I just installed iGO8 but it says "GPS receiver not found".
I'm using Syrius UDK R7, and i also have TomTom7 installed and it works fine (laggy but fine).
Does any1 know whats going on?

Try sygic or route 66 mobile 8.
Sygic is fast and is very easy to work with this program.
Route 66 have the best maps and precision when you make long "drivers".

Tenta por o sygic ou o route 66. Se for para usar em Portugal, usa o Ndrive 3 (que tem o nucleo do iGO mas adaptado por nos "tugas")
Hi All,
I see that many of you have TT7 working on HD2. Can I ask if anyone has official maps working?
I have TT 7.915 and V8.4 map ( purchased ( with real money! ) through TT ). This was on my Diamond. I want to transfer this onto my shiny HD2 but so far TT Home does not recognise HD2 as this is not officially supported. ASs this is the case I cannot transfer the account to the HD2.
I don't want to go down the route of 'unofficial sites' and I definately don't want to be stuck with CoPilot!!
Cheers in Advance
same problem here...tthome dont see hd2 and cant update maps
same for me too, does anyone have any tips?
Heeelppp !!!
I've just bought HD2 ...630 euros in Italy and my TT7 7.9 maps don't go... Say me Not enough memory !... In my Msd 16 gb !..
I have 1.48 ROM Ita.... Anyone can help me ?
Thanks in advance....
I just received my HD2, it's the orange french rom and tomtom7 is working ok.
Here is what I installed :
Tomtom 7.915.9196 + Carte Western & Central Europe 8.35.2421
I have an official version of TomTom but when I attempt to install it I get the following error message:
"Your device is not compatible with this version of Tom Tom Navigator!"
Hello,
I have A touch HD2 and I have the message "Your device is not compatible with this version of Tom Tom Navigator!" when I install the 7.916.9189 vga version but the 7.915.9196 works great.
I hope it can help you.
My problem is that I have a legal copy of Tom Tom map of WE but as TT is not yet supported on HD2 I have no way of linking the Map to my device.
All works fine on my Diamond but now I will format and sell the Diamond but want to link the TomTom account to the new phone...
But TomTom do not recognise the phone.....
for those who dont want to use copilot:
--> my device: HD2 bough without any branding, simlock etc, in Austria, ROM 1.43.407.2 (70124) GER
i got "Sygic mobile maps 9" running which is suitable for WindowsMobile, Android AND Symbian - at the same time, just different installers as it seems (only tested it on WM)
its VERY fast finding sattelites & finding the way (Vienna to Hannover which is about 1000km took about 20 seconds), there are maps for i think all over the world and the complete europe maps is 80€ (i'm sure you can find it as an illegal working download....)
this is the way i avoided copilot & tomtom...
hope you find a working solution =)
Tomtom v7.915 build 9196 Black Edition is an Unofficial version, but works on the HTC Leo (It show how speed is the community, unlike tomtom ...) It fix the BT bug.
It's for the moment the only way to have a working tomtom. But, as ever, maps will work only if you have the good DCT : a map will work for only ONE device. The use on an other device is forbidden.
Be careful : maps 840.2562 won't work on WinCE devices
Thanks, it works, no more BT annoyance !

Hi!
Just bought the TOM TOM Navigator 7 from a retailer in Sweden.
Its the 1OK0.054.01 delivered on a 2 GB SD.
The "Application version = 7.910" (found in the "Release file")
Trying to install the CAB file from SD or copying it to internal memory (installing it from there) gives the same error:
"Your device is not compatible with this version of TomTom NAVIGATOR 7"
My Diamond 2 is brand new (1 day) delivered with WM 6.5 from factory.
I have looked around quite a lot but it seems like no one have this problem.
Due to the fact that the Diamond 2 IS supported according to TOM TOM today it makes me quite...upset.
Thanks
put your sd card in a reader and connect to TomTomHome maybe it wil upgrade you to the latest version of tomtom.
Your version is old the latest version that works on the TD2 is 7.918.9193
Hi!
Thanks for your help but it did not work.
Tried to update SD card with TOM TOM Home 2.
After reading the help section it clearly states that Navigator is not upgradable that way. Seems only to compatible with stand alone units from TOM TOM with cards..
So... This will be a tricky one...
Any other solution?
Hi,
there's a working Tomtom7 version (7.916) available for download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556316 . Make sure you choose the WVGA version. From what I've read around and from the fact that the post hasn't been closed since years, I assume that it is legal. Be also aware that you will need a "clipped audio fix", look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513621.
You should be able to register and run the maps you purchased.
Ciao!
Ah, I almost forgot...here's a little "extra" I've implemented: use the hardware zoombar to zoom in/out Tomtom maps! Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5000902&postcount=58 . Enjoy
clipped audio is no longer necessary with the latest versions
Hope someone can point me in the right direction. I have TT7 for my HD2 and now need to buy the North American maps. But when I go to the TomTom US site, there's no listing for the map, and in fact they don't even list Windows Mobile software as being available at all - only iPhone, which is pretty obnoxious where I'm concerned.
Am I doing something wrong? Has TomTom abandoned the Windows Mobile platform? What gives?
Bump. Anyone?
Bump. Yeah I've been looking too.
Try ***warez site link removed*** their site is down at the moment, but should be back in a week or so.
I understand the site has been hacked and will take a look at them when they're back, but why would we want to go there rather than buying maps directly from the vendor? Just asking - I don't understand, and it seems you know something.
When you go there, you will see.
Since the site is down due to a hack with no indication of when it'll be back, maybe one of you guys will spare me the suspense and just say what's going on if you know?

Ok, now go and try to select North America and see what happens.
TOMTOM has officially abandoned the US market for TOMTOM Navigator 7 and above, "Due to difficulties with US Cell Service providers"
Except for iPhone because Apple will apparently "work with them", while the other providers won't.
The latest US maps that will work with TT7 on the HD2 are the 825 series. The 845 series appear to be incompatible with WM6.5, which is why TOMTOM won't sell anyone the USA maps for Navigator anymore.

Please quote or link to source of your information because it seems contradictory. TomTom is independent of cell service as it's based on hardware GPS, and iPhone is... a phone, so if there are "difficulties with US Cell Service providers, that would include AT&T, the iPhone partner here in US. Furthermore, the HD2 was recently added on the TomTom site as a supported device, so again your information sounds strange. Color me confused.
i found the maps on the tomtom site or you can download them as a torrent.

Link, to US/CAN maps, please. I don't see them anywhere. I go through the steps of selecting my device, and get to the three boxes where they display the regions, but there is no selection for US/Canada.
I'd rather buy them legally than download them as a torrent.

This from US TomTom support phone-line. The polite young lady on the phone said she went and checked with her supervisor, and with her tech support desk. I am a long time TOMTOM user and was fairly insistent on getting an answer. She was very insistent on 'Can't help you - it will never be available in the US on anything but iPhone.'. Polite, but insistent.
So I regretfully hacked it. It works very well, allowed me to download one city map for free, and I don't expect to get updates for the USA and Canada map I am using. I would have been happy to pay them, I begged them to allow me to pay them...

my bad, i looked and they have maps, but no US . i guess they dont sell them anymore so i guess the torrent is the only option.
i dont know if this helps but i just downloaded the one free map for my city (san diego). of course i didnt try and buy other one and so i dont know if it works.
Any progress on this...?
Thought I'd bump this to see if anything has changed since the last post.
I'm looking to upgrade to Navigator 7 so I can have a version of TT that 'works' on my HD2 (i.e. correct screen format). Plus I want to be able to use the updated maps.
I need to be able to run with both UK/Europe maps and North America maps (for my trips to the US). I am happy to buy these maps from TT. I'm not looking here for free maps!
It seems that TT (for reasons we can only speculate on) still do not support North America maps on Navigator 7.
Has anybody managed to find a solution to this (e.g. Navigator 7 with an older version of NA maps or even a 'fix' to allow Navigator 6 to switch to WVGA mode)?

Hi! I installed Global Navigator 5.6 on my HD2 on stock WM6.5 ROM, and it doesn't download maps - it kust shows my current position on a low-res world map. Zooming in just increases the size of the pixels.
I used an earlier version before and I could download maps. It seems there were lots of complaints on the web that the maker pdafun.net does not answer support queries. I'm still waiting for their reply.
If maps could no longer be downloaded, I propose that we post the imagedata.da and tileinfo.da for pre-downloaded data for different cities for sharing?
i agree with you.. same problem with me for low quality of maps download.
but i found an alternative.. Now i use Garmin. it is best and much better than global navigator.
Try Garmin and use your city maps.. and m sure u'll never use global navigator back..
