SWEET! Thanks for the update. Much appreciated. Even though I'm using the Microsoft one, I still want this one as well.

Great news. Thanks¡

I tried it and couldn't get it working on auto, set the port manually to the software port and it found the GPS but couldn't get a fix, but I was inside. I went outside and it still said 0 found and I was just about to give up and the maps redrew with me as the centre (I always knew I was the centre of the universe lol) So well chuffed.
Thanks for the heads up (BTW handago still have the old version - for uk use www.google.co.uk/gmm )

I also had to configure it manually, but I got a fix!!

Just downloaded. It works on my Advantage.

Yup, Manwell from Barcelona works good for me. I shall have to do a comparison with Live! Maps. Although the Satellite locater in GAps took about 5mins to get a position.

yes..thank you that's what i'm looking for..and now my gps is working..unfortunately there is no map for Malaysia yet..so only can view from satellite view

Yes, it works for me too. Thanks for the update. Had been struggling with the old version, and not being aware of this new version. In many download sites, they still have the old version even now.
My setting that works are as follows:
1) Setting>system>GPS: Program port: none, Hardware Port: COM5 Baud rate 9600, Access: Tick Mange GPS automatically.
2) In google map, Menu>Options>Track Location Settings>Set manually Com5: Baud rate 9600.
Be sure to stand in the open space for a while for the reading to come through.

Google Map 1.2.0.2 Navigational problem
Instead of using my Copilot Live for navigation, I decided to use google map to see how good it is for navigational purposes. I used to to come up with a suggested route to go from my home to a school. Everything goes well and good. I was able to see the blinking dot that indicates my current position. When the dot is outside the unit, it does not automatically shift the map like a normal GPS software would, but not a problem as I could do this manually. The dot is a little difficult to spot if you don't pay attnetion, you may not know where you are on the map. In any case, I could see that it had successfully guided me to the school.
Then, from the school, I planned a route to come home. The map correctly shows a suggested route, and I started driving. After a while, however, I noticed something was not right, because the blinking dot stays at the school even though I have departed. When I reached home, the blinking dot is still at school!
Am I the only one having this problem. Have you guys tried it?

My setting that works are as follows:
1) Setting>system>GPS: Program port: 1, Hardware Port: COM4 Baud rate 115200, Access: Tick Mange GPS automatically.
2) In google map, Menu>Options>Track Location Settings>Set manually Com1: Baud rate 11520.
Be sure to stand in the open space for a while for the reading to come through. - needed to do this.
Interestingly I coulsn't get it to wrk using the hardware ort and had to use the program port - I seem to be the only one doing this so might help someone else who has problems using the hardware port.
Mine is now working fine with Google and TomTom and am indors at the moment and am picking up 5/6 satellites in both

Same thing happened to me. I found that Live Search is a bit faster than Google Maps...but I'm still going to keep both installed. Glad Google Maps got the GPS thing fixed once and for all.

TomTom 7 extracted from HTC Diamond

For anyone who hasn't been watching the main development and hacking thread in XDA they've managed to get a working version of tomtom 7 off the new HTC Diamond and got it to work on other phones. This happend a few days ago I believe, maybe longer. That said, it hadnt worked on the Vogue untill now thanks to starbase64.
You can find the version of tomtom 7 that works with our phones here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/12398912...and_6.cab.html
http://www.megaupload.com/it/?d=6EF2ABE2
Also please find the direct link to the actual thread topic for this development here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401691
I had tomtom 6.03 installed with USA and Canada Maps ver. 6.75. I installed tomtom 7 which uninstalled tomtom 6 and installed 7 overtop.. booted up and my map worked fine. GPS actually connected way quicker then with 6.03.
(sidenote.... I use a bluetooth external GPS reciever as I am waiting for telus to get of their butts and release their rom update that will activate the internal gps)
The only thing I have noticed so far is that tomtom 7 is supposed to have the option of being able to change the navigation cursor.. ie an arrow to a car which it says it cant because theres no cursors so I'm sure a fix or something for this will come at some point. But all looks good. The fonts are a bit big as its for VGA but still great. The black colour bars are alot nicer then the blue.
It's been said before and I will say it again. Dont discuss anr warz or anything like that. No hacks or cracks or where to download maps from illegally. If you want a map. Go to tomtom's website!

Oh.. I have also had issues with this version of tomtom and tomtom home. It wont regonize that 7 is installed. Shows all my maps and voices and what not. This is a little frustrating as because it doesnt recognize in home you cant use the mapshare. One of the big perks of the upgrade. If anyone figures this out OR if its just me let me know!
I tried upgrading to tomtom home ver 2 but it wouldnt recognize it either.

Alright everyone... Here's the newest QVGA version of TomTom 7. Looks a little nicer on the Vogue. All the fonts are the appropriate size and what not.

I have build a pachage (look in my 4Shared TomTom folder) "TomTom_Navigator_7.450.9028_QVGA_without_installation.rar".
Extract on your SD Card and start "TomTom Navigator.exe".
TomTom must never again be installed.
This pack is without voices, you can find voice in my 4Shared TomTom folder.
Thanks "minty1978" for the QVGA Pack, is faster on Hermes.

Installation was fairly simple. I just copied the files over to my Touch and booted tomtom back up. Also check out the custom car icon files he has. What you have to do (took me a little research to figure it out) was where ever you installed your tomtom program. Mine was "\program files\Navigator" Make a folder called "art" and then a subfolder called "cars" Then put the car icon files you want inside that subfolder. When you boot up tomtom you can then change the icon of the direction arrow.
Edit: Here's some sites to download the car cursors as well

Is Google Navigator going to be a descent solution for us? Or is this going to be the best?
Of course I have no idea, as I'm waiting for Sprint US to get me my fancy new ROM update as well. So I haven't even had the opportunity to search around and play yet, using an external.
Hopefully today at 11:00am. Have to wait and see. Not holding my breath.

well googl's free.. I dont believe it has 3d map views although it does have satelite.. which is a perk. I'd say tomtom is a little more advanced then googlemaps for sure. 3d driving view ... voice guidance... thousands and thouands of poi's, easy menus etc etc. If you havnt used tom tom before you'll be pleasantly suprised how easy it is to use. Then again Tom toms been making stand alone units (PNA's) for years and years so they sort of have been working at it a long while now where as google maps is new to the game. I use both Navigon and tom tom and find them to be the best for what I need. With google map you can triangulate your position with cell towers too.. tomtom... nope. you NEED GPS for it to work

Last time I looked Google Navigator was like $60 bucks.
http://www.pdafun.net/
And I thought it had all the 3D maps, Driving Directions, voice command turn by turns and all that jazz too...??
Google Maps isn't really a navigation package, nor is Live Search IMHO.
I think you may be replying about the wrong application...ALthough I do think it's really weird for someone to charge $60 for a front end using the free google database, but hey; whatcha gonna do...
It almost like a Google Earth for WM6 devices...No...

Very true... Duh.. I was thinking about google maps. I haven't tried google navigator. I think last time I went to go try they didnt have a trial and I wasnt about to pay for something without knowing how well it worked. This threads going to get off topic quick. Tomtom 7.. download and try and you will love it!

I just checked that pdafun link, and there is a free trial, although I have to agree...$60 for a front-end on a free set of maps is pretty expensive. Unless they have tts (haven't researched it yet).

How do you switch TomTom 7 over to english?

Ah yes... I forgot about that.. Here's what you have to do..
I should have remembered but yes, the QVGA version I posted is set to, well I dont remember what language actually...But its not english. There seems to be two ways to get it to english.
The first is simply to delete the file [navigator.cfg] which I'm fairly sure is in whatever directory you are installing tomtom 7 to. That said you can probably just NOT move it over into the directory. Before I discovered that deleting this file would make the english the default I did this.
Here's the method I figured out
Once the map screen has popped up tap the screen once, the bottomn left icon with a wrech is what you then have to press. A new page will pop up. Push the bottom right icon (a blue arrow) 5 times. On the last page you should see an icon with 3 flags.. it will be the top left icon. Press this once. Then you'll have the option of changing the language.
Change it to english or whatever you want it to be and you are set!
This brings up another possible issue I never thought about though untill now. If for whatever reason you cant boot up tomtom because its in some other language and you have to go through a set up in another launguge (I imagine if its the first time loading up it SHOULD give you the option of choosing the language before hand but if it doesnt) maybe install that VGA version and get the set up and what not, everything the way you want it THEN copy of the QVGA files. This may not even be an issie at all but if it should happen to someone its an idea on how to get it done!
Hope this helps!

Your trick for deleteing the navigator temp file worked great. Do you have any suggestions for getting TT7 to read my TT6 maps. It keeps saying maps not found.

I too had it working with my version 6.75 maps. What version of maps do you have installed? If its older then the 6.75 perhaps they wont work. That said, if you have to upgrade then I would just upgrade to the latest ver 7 maps.

Weird, I have 6.75 also. My map folder is named "USA and Canada 675_1409". How does that compair with everyone?

I noticed that if you edit the Currentmap.dat file and redirect it to my map folder it still won't work.. Its weird TomTom 6 works fine.

I had problems with it not finding my maps. So I got some new ones and it worked fine instantly...

Just a question. Has anyone gotten Tomtom home 2.3 to work with their vogue yet? I've had no luck at all. I've been checking the main thread on this in the development area and alot of people are having issues getting their phones to connect.. While some connect just fine. I havnt read anything in there though from other Vogue users. In order to use the mapshare you need to be able to connect to tomtom home 2. So this would be great if we get it working OR if someone has it working maybe they could tell us what they did.
Thanks!

Anyone be able to download one free map from tomtom.com?

6xx maps won't work, you have to get the new 7xx map.
Also, you need to activate the maps as well. Tomtom 7 increased the security.

does this file work w/the vogue internal gps? I'm using TomTom_Navigator_7.450.9028_repack2.cab that works with my maps, but doesn't pick up my GPS. (it works great on a friend's mogul)

GPS software

can anyone recommend the dif gps apps that feature turn by turn directions?
google maps is fine except id like that feature. a couple dif ones to try would be nice.

See link below. Look near bottom of first post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363431

Thank you for the link to the post - the information there is very helpful reading the software available. I'm using IGuidance but was thinking about trying TomTom.

I use tomtom7 for the turn by turn "turn right" "left turn ahead" etc...does not say the street name but it keeps talking to you up until you make the turn... the point of interest is very good...need a wal-mart, best buy points them all out...

I am using Garmin Mobile XT. It also has turn by turn. The one thing I find that I like better about it over TomTom is that it actually will tell you what side of the street your destination is on. Unless this has changed from the One TomTom does not give you that information. Also there are lots of POI's you can download off the internet for free. I found starbucks, dunken donuts, autozone, homedepot....etc. on one site and have uploaded them to my phone. Like the TomTom it does not give street names.

Generic Version
I think I downloaded the generic WM6 version and it has been working pretty well.

The only thing aAzing to me was that I actually tried this software again even after struggling with it a few months ago. I don't care for the interface. I don't care for the fact that it locks up my 6800 often. And I also found it causes an odd slowdown, even after it has been closed. I got annoyed by the slow down after a couple of days, so I removed it from memory, and the slowdown went away. Very odd.
Hard to beat Windows Live Search for free. No voice, but you get a couple of 'dings' as reminders of turns.

Thanks for the info. I tried that and after a short while I get exception errors and lockups. May be WM6.1 and the new Verizon rom upgrade. Also, I don't get any data for maps.

I have a xv 6800 with 6.1 and Amaze works just fine for me. No lockups at all. Their satellite map coverage is dismal, at least in Southern California, but I love using their heads up 3d street maps and voice nav features.

Since when does mobile xt speak turn by turn? I have tried the latest version ??5.20.00 or something, and there is no turn by turn on any mobile xt that I have found.

CoPilot Update To TTS Available

Just did a highly convoluted update to CoPilot adding TTS (Text to Speech) ability. Didn't work (of course) . AFTER the fact, they tell you to install an update of the software, version 8.0.0.620 . IT WORKED! Why oh why can't they get their act together when it comes to customer service? Why not update the necessary files using the TTS installation??? Or why not just do an update of the software WITH TTS included??
Go here to check it out. Make sure you have 8.0.0.620 installed. http://www.alk.com/copilot/copilot8-tts.asp
-Bob-

Hmm well updated to 8.0.0.620 AND updated CoPilot Central 2.0 and you weren't kidding its a right pain and after all that it seems TTS isn't available in the UK yet. Well not on my HD2 yet anyway and I'm running the official 1.66 WWE ROM at the moment. On the brighter side though Live local search works and so does the Live traffic and the Fuel prices facility is a good idea

Silly question, but how did you guys update to 8.0.0.620?
Mine shows version number 8.0.0.457, but when I use the built-in "check for updates" function, it says it's "up to date". Also, in the online FAQ it says you probably shouldn't install the normal CoPilot on an HD2, since it requires a specially modified version for some features to work (ok, who needs Footprints, but still)...
God, I wish ALK would fix their stuff. The bloody navigation software itself is ok, but everything surrounding it is sheer torture.

Here's the link. Download the files directly from http://www.alk.eu.com/files/v8/winmobile/cabs/8.0.0.620-2577-tts.zip. This is the US site.
HOWEVER, I can't say if it'll work perfectly on your HD2. I DID install it. Seems to work. I ran a demo of a route and the TTS function worked well. Haven't tried Footprints since the update and I don't have the Car Kit. I hadn't noticed the warning, so...we'll see what happens.
ALK truly seems to be dazed and confused most of the time.
-Bob-

Hey, thanks!
The FAQ mentions "for example the Footprints application and Car Kit mode". I use neither of those, but that sneaky "for example" could be worrying. The only other device-specific feature I can think of is pinch-to-zoom. Might just try the upgrade and see if it works.

I'm out of my map coverage area, but did play with CoPilot a bit. I don't see any functional issues with the way I use the software. Pinch-to-Zoom works with 2D views, not with 3D (doing a route demo). I actually don't remember if PTZ worked in 3D before. Dragging the 3D view works. I'm not at all familiar with PhotoNav, so I can't comment except to say I have a blank screen. Is that supposed to work with coordinates and the camera somehow? EDIT: Looks like PhotoNav works too. But I'm out of a map area so am not totally sure.
I guess what I'm saying is that TTS is worth giving up any gimmicks that the HD2-specific version might have added (which I obviously never used ). And since I will be out of map range for the next 30 days, someone else is going to have to experiment to see what's missing on the HD2 (or what may have been added??).
I DO wish I could delete the old EXE software from the Windows directory, though.
-Bob-

Ah yes just checked and the footprints don't work with this version of copilot, but I've installed it on the memory card so I guess that didn't help, don't use em anyway.
Afraid I also don't use the car kit mode either so can't comment on that one.
I've been merrily using the update for a few days now and no problems at all, so I think its worth doing.

i have downloaded and installed this new version on my hd2. i got 8.0.0.620 confirmed at the info-screen now.
but somehow tts does not work in the demo.
do i need to activate a special voice/language or option? is it to be activated somewhere?
thanks for the help!

Hi yes I think you do need to select the correct voice if you go in to Language & Voice, then your language you should find a voice with an asterisk. Thats the text to speech one.
Just to clarify I've only read this and haven't tried it myself as I can't get TTS in the UK at the moment

Did anyone try Version .644 ?

[Q] Blackstone gps not working

hi all i have a blackstone that was originally branded to orange but was unlocked, so i flashed to a custom rom to debrand from orange and then flashed again to official 1.56 rom and radio now i can use the phone to make receive calls use internet on o2 no problem.
However the gps does not work, when i load google maps and select "use GPS" it just says "seeking gps satellites (o) for around 10 minunts then says "unable to find satellites".
and yes i am trying this outside and just to confirm i also have a p3470 on cordic (taxi dispatch system) that finds satellites within just a few seconds.
HTC
Rom version: 1.56.405.1 (43972) WWE
Rom date: 03/06/09
Radio version: 1.17.25.09
Protocol version: 52.69.25.37U
this is driving me up the wall i have searched high and low for 2 days to find a solution to the gps problem.
please please someone help. any ideas much appreciated.

the question was has anyone ever had this problem NOT has anyone got a blackstone.

does anyone know if there is a separate driver for the gps that i can download?

yeah but you are talking about WINDOWS MOBILE, it's not really a general problem -.- and if you think it is, post it on the General Forum, because surely no one will see it here

Well, I have seen it.
And I do use my Blackstone from time to time for other things than e-book reading...
Most probably there's one of possible problems:
- wrong radio (hardly, you have the latest)
- no ephemerides (use QuickGPS to download, otherwise you might wait forever for GPS lock)
- problem with GPS receiver. Well, that one is hard to crack without diagnostic GPS software.
- [EDIT] ah... what version of Rilphone do you have? It HAS to be latest one - see my sig... [/EDIT]
I'd recommend you to try using some other GPS software instead of Google Maps.
I know, it's hard to find WM 6.x software nowdays, but you could try to find WM version of... let's say, Waze on some software archives.
Search trough forums, there might be some software attached.

Hi thanks for your reply, I am thinking the rilphone could be the problem? but I am able to use internet make calls ect I thought that if it was the wrong rilphone I would not be able to do this? i have a few questions: How do I find which rilphone I have?
Most probably there's one of possible problems:
- wrong radio (hardly, you have the latest) agreed
- no ephemerides (use QuickGPS to download, otherwise you might wait forever for GPS lock) quickgps is up to date.
- problem with GPS receiver. Well, that one is hard to crack without diagnostic GPS software.
- [EDIT] ah... what version of Rilphone do you have? It HAS to be latest one - see my sig... [/EDIT] how do I know what rilphone I have?
I'd recommend you to try using some other GPS software instead of Google Maps. I Have tried tomtom and another nav program
I know, it's hard to find WM 6.x software nowdays, but you could try to find WM version of... let's say, Waze on some software archives.
Search trough forums, there might be some software attached. sorry what is waze?

How do you know what rilphone you have?
Try to find latest one (see my sig) here on forum and install it.
I can not check ATM correct procedure (my Blackstone is resting at home, 250 Km from here), but there must be thread dedicated to that. Most probably in stickies...
Waze? You should Google it...
But, it's called "social navigation". Uses all kinds of GPS positioning (GPS and A-GPS. At least Android version does) and shows current traffic and traffic conditions. More users = better info.

Thank you so much for your help i really do appreciate it :good:

i cant find a rilphone for the blackstone can i use this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574127 it says for diamond?

No, please.
Alough I think you might not brick your phone, it can cause bigger trouble.
HTC Blackstone/Radio flashing has a link which says "All Blackstone Radios (6) can be found here :". It leads to sharing site which contains needed Rilphone version.
I think I have a copy of Rilphone.cab on my Blackstone's microSD if really needed, but now that phone is 180 Km away... yeah, I travel a lot...
