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:

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)

Tomtom 7

Hi -
I've seen messages touting Tomtom 7 as being great for use with the 6800. I can't find it for sale anywhere. Can anyone point out a good site to go to to purchase this product?
Thanks,
Tim
PS - I'm NOT looking for warez sites. I would be happy to pay a fair purchase price if it's wonderful.

Mod Edit: We do not promote warez on xda. Next time it's a ban.

Gosh, I don't know how I could have been more clear. I buy my software (assuming that it's not freeware, of course! )
Is Tomtom 7 actually in release yet? I don't see it listed on the tomtom company website.

Yes, I can post the cab for you and you can install it, though it won't do any good without the maps. You have to buy the maps from TomTom.

Ok, thank you very much for all your help. I would appreciate that.
One more question: when I go to the tomtom site and tell it that I want to purchase maps for tomtom 7, it only offers me maps for europe, the far east and the middle east. I was hoping to find maps for the united states. Is that not possible?
Thanks,

If I go to their site and select United States and then the map products, I can choose the Go 300 product and then pick which map you want. They have both USA and USA/Canada available in the 7.x version. $129 for just the USA map.

Thanks. I'll go check on that right now.
How can I legally obtain the software?

Here's the cab for TomTom 7. As I stated earlier though, you need to purchase the maps from TomTom.
http://www.cinconet.org/tomtom7cab/TomTom Navigator 7.cab

Ok, thanks. I see that I can purchase tomom 7 maps from tomtom.com for europe and the near and far east, but not for the USA & Canada. Another person suggested above that I can get appropriate maps if I just start with saying that I have a GO300. Are the map files usable on any device? That is, does it matter that I'd be using the maps that he suggests on an xv6800 instead, or will they actually work ok? Also, will I need to download and use tomtomHome to actually install them?
Thanks,
Tim

I believe if you use the same version map as TTN then it will work. The Go300 has version 7 maps. You might be able to get the maps after installing TTN on your phone and doing it through that program.

Thanks for helping. I have to ask, though: what is TTN?

My understanding is that TTN7 was preloaded onto the HTC Diamond and is not for retail - just yet.
I can confirm that it is superior to TTN6 in terms of operability and of course the TT7 maps are more up to date. I was recently in Australia and a new toll road opened a few months earlier than scheduled and it was already available for navigation on TT7 maps.
I have not used the USA map on TT7 yet because I didnt want to shell out the $$$ just yet and TT6 maps seem to be just fine in my area.

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.

TomTom Navigator 7

Hi all
I'm running a legitimate copy of TTN7 on an HTC Touch Diamond. I'd like to add maps of North America, but the map store does not sell them for my version, only for Navigator 6. The map version available is 6.75. Does anybody know if this map will work OK with TTN7?

You need to go outside on a fairly sunny day turn on the gps and let it sit on for about 5-10 minutes. First connection always takes a very long time. If thats not the problem, I cant imagine what is, as the connection to the internal gps is automatic.

Copilot 8 thinks I am in Africa

Hi I have an issue with Copilot 8 and havent managed to find a thread in here that mentions the issue I have.
I have the following versions
OS 5.2.21869
Manilla 2.5.19211619.0
ROM 1.48.405.2 WWE
Radio 2.05.51.05_2
I replaced the original 2GB SD card with an 8GB, and used the 2gb card in my daughters Nintendo DS, blatting everything on it.
Now I fancy trying Copilot, and whilst I can run the app, I cannot download any maps as it thinks I am in Africa (or only have permission to download those maps).
This is the same for Copilot Central and on the device, if i try to download anything else it just says "Error downloading files", for the African one it gives me a second screen asking me to confirm.
Am I missing something here? Or is it because I deleted the "trial" version maps on my SD card?
I have 15 days left on the trial to fix this :-S
Hope someone has had the same issue??

Agreed. However I bought CP7 early last year (I think) and it cost me nearly £60! I wrote to them recently asking if I could transfer my licence across rather than pay £26 for a new package when CP7 is perfecly adequate and they refused.
Fair do's I suppose, as they have got to make some money somewhere but disappointed nevertheless. The "get in lane" improvements in CP8 are worth it as I use this system in my car. However seeing that I have not yet had the full benefit out of the package I paid for last year I can't justify the extra expense and then have a whole package lying around doing nothing.
Shame.
WB

I think they are getting confused somewhere!
There is absolutely nothing to prevent you cancelling the license on one device then reactivating it on another one. The only thing they won't do, and this maybe where the confusion arose, is to transfer a license between platforms (WM -> Apple/Andoid and vice versa)
If you still have CPL on the original device, you can go into the Licensing screen and select to deactivate it. This needs an internet connection. Once deactivated, install the program on the new device and go through the online activation. If that doesn't work, complain again to ALK. There is no compulsion to upgrade to relicense the program.

Had the same issue with my trial. CoPilot sent me this link and it says just to copy the copilot folder to the memory card.

That's funny. My CoPilot Central 2.0 thinks I'm in Africa, too. When I used the KML-export function of my GPS-Tracks, that I had no use for, the only coordinates the KML-file contained were two hundred miles off the coast of Ghana in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Same here, I have factory fitted satnav in the car but I got co-pilot after the trial ended, as you say if you just use it as a walking aid, you can't go wrong for £26.

Neil,
Thanks for the heads up. To be honest ALK make a great product but their Customer Service is diabolical. Rather than spend hours exchanging increasingly meaningless messages with them in that fixed format template format they are so fond of using which is so irritating and tells you absolutely nothing, I simply ditched all the CP8 folders on my device (bar the rom files which I can't move) and installed my paid for CP7.
Saves a whole load of hassle, from my perspective, and it works just fine.

Long shot but if you are trying to access CP Central from a PC, why don't you set-up a proxy server or use some other method to "hide" your IP address which might help solve the problem?
I have never done this for this purpose so it's unusual for me to recommend an action I have not tried myself; however if no one else has a better answer and you can't get CP Support to help then might be worth a go?

Got to be worth a try, so i will give it a go.
My mate has the same issue, so its not just me

Let us know how you get on. If it works then this would be a useful tip for others. If it doesn't then they don't have to waste their time on this.

I have raised the question with the support team, will update post in a month when they reply!! Although to be fair they came back within 2 hours on the Africa thing on the HD2 with the link to the software.

Don't bother with the Copilot support "contact form". It's totally useless, and they'll probably never reply. Instead send a "tweet" to http://twitter.com/copilotsupport/ or http://twitter.com/copilotlive/. That usually gets an answer within 24 hours.
