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.

Hey guys,
I just got an HTC touch pro but i live in Egypt so the google maps of Egypt arent very accurate at all and they give no directions watsoever. So before when i was on my HTC P3600 i installed a gps programm by TeleType and added the maps of my country to it in the folder of my maps and it worked perfectly. When i came to do that on my HTC touch pro 6.1 windows mobile it didnt wana install and it said GPS not a valid pocket pc application. Ive been looking for another gps software to install on my touch pro and cudnt find anything. Could any1 help em please? i have my countrys maps but i just need a software that will work and that i can add my maps to so i can get the turn by turn directions.
Thanks alot
Evening guys.
Ok, think I have sealed my own fate to some extent here, but hoping there might be a solution.
I had a Kaiser which I installed TomTom 7 on using the hack whereby you buy the maps for the GO 720 and trick the Home app into thinking that it is a 720 (before the diamond maps were available - what can I say, I'm impatient! ;-) )
Anyway, predictably, I've now got my TP and have installed the tomtom 7 cab onto the device. However, it tells me that activation failed. I would go to the ttcodes.com website, but for some reason I can't find the damned product code for the maps on my tt account page (it says "product code , " instead of a number??!).
All I want to do is "unactivate" the maps somehow and then do an OTA refresh with my new product/device code. Is this possible?
To be honest, I'm a bit fed up with TomTom these days. I've spent literally hundreds of pounds on them over the past few years and upgrading on PDA is always either incredibly difficult or lags behind the TomTom hardware. If I can't get this sorted, I might just cut my losses and give ALK a new customer...
Cheers guys

what version of Tomtom did you install?? 7.450 or 7.451
To change is easy however you can only change your device once in 6 month period. in tt find your product code - press the satellitestrength button followed by pressing on version number. In this list you will find your product code. Goto tomtom web site, log into your account and goto change my device at the bottom of the screen you can type in your new device product code. once done, you then need to download your map to tom tom home as the activation code will be different within the file. Sync your tp and all should work.
let me know if map share and traffic work. I can not get these to work.
@ Xtreme - installed 7.451
@ Ardsar - THanks, but the problem is, I can't get that far. It asks me to choose a map, so I choose my UK & Ireland map and it throws up the activation error.
Thoughts?
cheers

copy the ttnavigator.BIF from the root of your memorycard to your pc and open it with Notepad.
now you can read your devicecode
have you contacted TomTom already with this problem?
also delete your map - it should then let you download a free city map if you havnt done so yet.
Aha!
I've deleted the map and downloaded the freebie. Will work on work on it from both angles.
Haven't contacted TomTom yet (was hoping to avoid the pain!) but will do if I can't get anywhere.
Will let you know how I get on.
Thanks

Arrgh! It now shows the map for download on TomTom home but says "This item does not work on your device. Therefore it cannot be installed".
It obviously realises that it's not a 720 but that's what the map's for.
Have you vchanged your code on tomtom website? The map on your pc is prob still for your old device. Goto my maps on tomtom web site and re download. (move your old map to an area outside of tomtom home just incase it goes wrong. usually found under my docs/tomtom/downloads (or similar)
Hi again guys,
Ok - checked the tomtom website and compared to the product code that's on my account website, but they are already the same? I can only assume that TomTom home synchronises the two?
TomTom home still says "This item does not work on your device. Therefore it cannot be installed".
Any thoughts? I'm thinking that even if I speak to TomTom, they'll just say I shouldn't have bought the 720 map for the Kaiser and just to buy new maps? Seems to be the way they normally work. :-(
EDIT: I should note that there is no trace of my UK map on the device. Just the fresh TT install and my free download map of my area that I got last night.

Just a thought - did you delete your maps from tomtom home and your pc? If not i suggest you try backing them up to CD or something, remove them and try again. I'm not sure at what point the activation code is generated - ie when you install or download. Failing this, i guess x20 maps are not compatible.
Unfortunately, if you contact tomtom, they will just tell you to go away as version 7 is not released and supported in the UK. Sorry mate, i dont know what else to suggest. I used 710 maps on my kaiser which worked fine, i guess the x20 version maps are just to different.
Delete mapname.meta.dct and reactivate or generate a new .meta.dct by using a tt8_keygen.

Guess you have a choice to either buy the correct maps or move to ALK. I have Navigator live 7 (touch diamond edition) and i was not that impressed by it. Scrolling around the map is very very slow compared to tomtom, and the traffic module is not user friendly at all and requires intervention whilst driving!. Also they use navteq for their mapping data however the latest map is about 9 - 12 months out of date, although some of the road changes that have happened in my area are more up to date. From what i understand, tomtom will be releasing version 7 at some time so you may want to hang it there. Somehow, traffic started working last night, so i am happy now!
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?
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

wait a bit n it works
Now i'm REinstalling mago,i hope it will work this time
they are location specific btw .. they might not be yet there in your country ... just to let you know
Still no bing vision,local scout,turn by turn:/I'm from croatia.
Here in Canada = no Bing Vision, no Local Scout... it's irritating.
Bing Vision and Bing Audio working fine here.
I'm from Brazil but my live ID is US.
My bing local scout, audio, vision bing maps turn by turn worked when I launch mango the first time. Then after several hours,it just disappeared. Quite weird.
I found the answer: I changed the system local to china.
So you need to only change system local to china,and you will get bing vision,scout ....??Can somebody confirm tihs?
Bing services are fine in the UK if you want to try that locale.
Sorry for my wrong expression.
I mean I cant find the bing audio/scout/... after i set system locale from US to China.
I tried change system locale from china to US. Not work.
But then I changed browser/search language to US, bing audio/.. come back.
Does anyone have Bing Music?
I changed my locale from Canada to US and got the improved vision & the local scout, but there's still no sign of Music on my end.
