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.

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.

Arent they they the same? your link and the link inside that thread? I dont get it.
BTW it says taster on the site, I assumed its tester or something. A test app perhaps. anyway the link you gave and the link inside are identical.
Fair enough. This link may have been posted before. I was told that there was the new update relesed on 03.04.07 and it was more to alert people of that fact. The link will obviously point to the same place because any new ROM update will be posted there. So if you alrady new this than great and if you did not know about this then even better. I was just trying to help.

Taster??? Do you mean for TomTom? Taster probably means that they will give you a small map to get you interested in TomTom, then you'll have to buy more maps.

Hi all
Does anyone know any other location to download tomtom. I tried to download from this euro site, but it wont let me. It says my s/n is invalid. I'm guessing it's because I did not purchase the phone in Europe (I'm from Australia).
Thanks

I have not tested this TomTom yet but from what I understud you get fully functional software with one free city map. So if you use key gen for the other maps you should have official version of TomTom for trinity.
BUT I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS YET BECAUSE I AM WAITING FOR MY SD CARD TO ARRIVE!

You should have GPS settings under preferances. If you go in there and configure under "other NEMA" receiver. On mine it is on com9. It takes a couple of minutes to get "cold" start nut if little yelow and black circle in the top right corner is rotating it has found your GPS receiver. All you have to do now is go outside ar go very near to the window and wait for the "fix".

i think he has the same problem as me. latest belgian rom installed. tomtom 6.030 installed but that is a red herring.
the problem is that the GPS settings in system has disappeared! it was there a few days ago and now its just missing!
i mean start > system tab > GPS (that GPS config software has gone missing!!!)
SOLUTION:
Enable GPS Icon in Setting Tab
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings
1. Delete the DWORD marked Hide (if present)
2. Delete the DWORD marked Redirect (if present)
3. Add a DWORD called Group and give it a value of 2
4. Soft reset the device.
Now check in connections...

Maybe because there is no official HTC update for your geographic area...
So far, only DOPOD's clients from Australia New-Zeland, and South-East Asia have got an official update to go further than 1.23.XX series.
But to get back to the point, GPS should already be activated on your ROM.
Further upgrade issue, it's more about, having WM6 or not having it...
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

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.
starbase64 said:
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!

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!

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)
Does anyone geo-tag their HD photos? I can't find a way to enable it in camera settings.
I had to download an app to enable it on my TyTNII.
Can't find anything by searching this forum or Googling
You can enable it with HDTweak, as far as i remember
Brilliant! Thanks
I have enabled the option in HD Tweak, and have even tried Shozu and locr, but even with a GPS lock, it doesn't seem to save the GPS data to the photo.
I'm using the Orange ROM, and don't really want to reflash it just to make this work with the hacked footprints tab, so has anyone got any ideas?
TIA
My problem is GPS doesn't start.
I've been using the free GPSToday (www.geoterrestrial.com) and their GeoTagger plugin which monitors your photo directory. When it sees a new file it tries to get a GPS fix and then embeds the location in the file. So far it's worked flawlessly.
Can you try uploading one of the photos it's tagged too google picasa to see if it can see the gps data and map the piccy please?
So far, these things tell me they are tagging them, but when you upload them, it's not tagged.
locr and shozu both work flawlessly on my N95, so I know the platforms and google picasa work.
I attached a GPS photo taken with my HD (bike trip with my girlfriend ) with the 'GPS-photo' option. I'm absolutly sure it has GPS info in it, because I upload all my pictures to Flickr, where they automaticly show up on the map at the right location. Good luck
*EDIT* When uploading a photo as attacment to the XDA forum, all GPS data is stripped. So here's a direct link to download the original file:
http://www.fittingmedia.nl/divers/GPS_011.jpg
Just tried uploading one of my photos tagged with GPSToday to PicasaWeb and it's recognised the GPS data perfectly. Here's the photo
http://picasaweb.google.com/apcd2apcd2/Desktop?authkey=Gv1sRgCLr5tdy08-bb9wE&feat=directlink
Very simple but you have to edit the registry.
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\P10
and set the value of "Enable" to 1
Thank you'll find a new camera mode in the standard HTC camera program that is "GPS". It activates and deactivates the GPS automatically.
Enjoy
Do you guys want to have gps info on all photos or what? I didn't get the point.
Touch HD Camera has a "GPS Photo" mode..which can be selected manually by going in to "advance" options in the "camera mode" .
right clicking on the image on windowsXP and checking the image property doesn't show the GPS info..but if opened with any other viewer..XNview..lightroom..photoshop.. in EXIF data u can see the GPS info.
so please tell me whats the point of using tweakers to enable GPS tagging? or i'm missing somethig

Not on some stock ROM images, such as mine.
I personally choose to use it because when I share photos online, with things such as Picasa Web, it shows people on a map where the pictures were taken.
No real serious use for me, but it's a little more info for people, and you can also view public galleries and it will display all pictures taken in a certain area.
EDIT: OK I found the option, everywhere I looked and in PM's people were telling me to look in advanced settings for this, it's actually an option on the 2nd page of "Capture Mode" and not in settings, or an advanced tab at all. No wonder I couldn't see it lol.

The tweak is necessary to enable the GPS photo button in the advance tab when using a stock ROM
How long does it take for you to take a photo this way? Mine just says "starting gps" and nothing happens. I even tried waiting 3-4 minutes, the time it takes Garmin XT Mobile to get the gps signal here, but nothing.
i get the point now! i bought blackstone with a diff language than i'm using ..and installed cooked rom straightaway.. so i didn't know the diff(to the minor details) b/w a stock rom and a cooked one. Sorry for taking things as granted!
thnx ppl for the info!

It takes about 10 to 30 seconds, depending on where I'm standing. It indeed should take about the same time as Garmin.
But 3 to 4 minutes is a LONG time for any GPS app to get a fix... If you get that working right, GPS-Photo will probably work fine too.

- Well, offcourse the obvious. Try it outside, with no high buildings etc. around you and that sort of things.
- Then, try to update QuickGPS with new satelite info (makes a lot of difference).
- DISABLE AGps. Does more harm then good.
- Maybe try a different radio. I'm using 1.12 and get very quick GPS fixes. Faster then 1.9 and 1.10.
Let us know how it turns out!
Anyone know any thing new on any effort to port Footprints to Blackstone? all posts are a bit old. there's a standalone that sorta works on Blackstone but the resolution is wrong so text is misaligned and its not very usable. anyone made any headway at porting it to a tab or at least a usable standalone? It would REALLY rock if anyone could port it to an manila v3 tab!!! i'd donate for the effort. sure many would!

- Well, offcourse the obvious. Try it outside, with no high buildings etc. around you and that sort of things.

- Maybe try a different radio. I'm using 1.12 and get very quick GPS fixes. Faster then 1.9 and 1.10.

I can't do that cause i still don't know how to backup the original radio. I would like to backup everything i need for warranty sake. I posted a thread here, but got no answers. I know it's all been explained here, but it's just too confusing. I know how to backup ROM, but i need to know what else i need to backup an HOW, before i flash a new radio and ROM.
The current device info is:
ROM: 1.14.479.3 (25874) WWE
ROM DATE: 11/12/08
RADIO: 1.09.25.14
PROTOCOL: 52.49a.25.26U
ExtPkg: 1.14.479.302

I did all you said, and nothing helped. However, i did notice this - i started Garmin, got a lock in a matter of seconds (after i did the fast GPS thing, so i'm guessing Garmin is using that), turned it off and geotagging worked instantly. So, i'm guessing camera has a problem using quick GPS or starting GPS by itself. Any ideas on this?
Hi all.
I have tried with different GPS softwares (PapagoX3&Vietmap), GPS clock are mysteriously one hour ahead of the current time (Device's time).
Could anyone suggest a solution to get a correct time in GPS?
I set clock as GMT+ 7 (Hanoi, Bangkok)
Help me, please. Thanks heaps !
Summertime?

Hey,
(Thinking it could be daylight saving time).
- I searched on the internet and I found a few things you could try. You could update your device with through this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/daylight-savings-update.mspx
- You can try to put daylight saving time off in Outlook through
Tools | Options | Preferences | Calendar Options | Time Zone
(I found this on an old threat on the internet so I am not sure it will work, the link:

But before I continue is it the GPS clock or the whole phone? Did you ever connect the phone with a USB cable to a computer?

Yup, its the GPS clock which is shown in several GPS map software I mentioned above. The clock of whole phone is still set correctly
I did try to disable my daylight saving time(DST) by "advance config tool" from xda - developer but its not the solution. >> do you think that GPS signal, its self, contains a time data including DST.
Infact, my local time (+ 7 GMT Bangkok, Hanoi) is not observed by DST but GPS clock still run as if the DST is applied, one hour ahead of local time
Hey,
I really do not have a clue what the problem would be. I thought that GPS just tracked location and not time. Anyway I searched on this forum with the searchkey "GPS TIME". Maybe the following topic is helpfull:

Ps. I often update my GPS with the preinstalled ("quickgps")
Disable the auto adjust gps-time.

In Settings from Navi-software. Maybe different in the Navisofts, for instance iGO in sys.txt or in Settings-menu, TomTom only in Settings-menu.

unfortunately, both of my Gps software (Vietmap17, papagox3) dont have setting funtion for this. Hence I have to edit some registry info, dont I ?
Sorry, don´t know both GPS-Apps. Maybe a reg-setting or a config-file.
Can't you try to call the service centre of the GPS software? Even if it is illegal you can try.

Yup, they are legal sofwares, I called service centre of Vietnam17 software. However they dont know much, too disappointed. Maybe, I will try to email Papagox3 service center about my matter.
Hi,
Does anyone know the settings for GPS? I live in London and by default when I got installed the rom was NTP server address was America so I changed it to Europe. It works perfectly when on Wireless but when I use my mobile data it says ""Your current location is currently unavailable""
The current GPS Configuration is:
NTP server address:
3.europe.pool.ntp.org
SUPL server address:
supl.google.com
SUPL server port:
7276
Can anyone shine light?

Thanks for your reply.
Do you use Leo AGPS Injector v0.5? Or does it automatically detect gps? Do you think it could be due to the lack of gps satellites in my area?

yeh, i use AGPS Injector, only once every 4-5 days, i doubt there would be a lack of satellites over London, if you try gps status it will show you how many satellites there are.

give it a try

only other thing i can think of is check your settings make sure you have enabled the 3 toggles in the location settings of miui,
also check with your rom chef, see if he can help,
u still havent said which build you're using.

I did at the Developer and no luck.
The rom I am using is HD2_NDT_MIUI_GINGER_DEVELEPMENT_V30.0_MAGLDR_New
I checked the 3 toggles and it was ok.
I think the only thing left is to reinstall the rom
