for those who don’t like to switch between there language and tx9 and prefer to switch between there language and English (abc) you can disable the priority of the tx9 by installing this cab

thanks man!
what abouit igo 2008. r u using it ? mine still cannot detect satelites

I'm sorry to say we don’t have igo 8 yet
any way I cannot say I have tried it myself
but from what I have heard if you go to your device program file/igo 8 you will find a sys.txt
add these lines to what you already have there in the txt using your home pc then the program will work
pleas note that you need to have one line blank before adding
[gps]
port=6
baud=57600
set_messages=0
pleas edit the text and report
good luck

you are defiantly right
working with msn (EREZYAD) using EQO
I’m happy to here about your results
now when I will have the software I'm shore to know how to make it work

hmm I managed to start it jsut 2 times (igo2008) -> i mean the gps signal
from that time on, it stopped detectig sattelites
it's so stupid. I will try for a change with igo2006 and keep u updated.
are there any twaks that I can make to work better with my GPS/ sattelites as I don;'t have quick gps ?
can I get quick gps and install/configure from a another WM6 device ? (a friend has here a HTC touch cruise, everything works fine for him with quick gps+igo2008 )
and, can I make registry tweaking or smf, so that everytime I write sms, I automaticlly have : ABC instead of T9 ?
thanks!

if i-go 8 has problems with identifying the gps you didn't follow my instructions correctly
good luck

ok man I will try all again
maybe also hard reset the device and install everything again
thanks for your hlp !
...tried it yet
still nothig. I start to think that the problem is the space that I have outside the office. maybe its causing not to find the sattelites.
do you know what settings I need to have, in SETTINGS > EXTERNAL GPS ?
thanks!

TELUS Navigator

My HTC Touch Diamond is suppose to have GPS (as far as i know). It had a link before and a file to download TELUS Navigator. With all my customization and tweaking I seem to have deleted that.
How can I get that back, or maybe a better GPS program for my phone?
Thanks.

If you dont' need turn by turn directions, I use Google maps. It's free and works great on my telus diamond. ALso, it's free, so no monthly charge.

I can't seem to get GPS to work with Google Maps or Live Search, it wants a US address. That makes no sense lol

Did you try a hard reset?

What exactly does a hard reset do? What do I lose?

You need to tell Google to use GPS, otherwise it just triangulates from the phone masts. Click menu then "use GPS". Takes a while to lock onto satelites

app that uses GPS to track lost/stolen phone?

I remember reading up here that somebody had installed an app to their X1 that enables GPS so that the position of the phone can be located if its lost or stolen? Whats the name of the app and where can I get it from?

search for rtconfig

I'm trying this app ... http://www.scenepda.com/2009/02/wimp-where-is-my-phone-v135.html
Tell me if it's work for you...
BR
The Maxx

Appears to be good, installed it myself.

or you can just use google map now... it will track your phone wherever you go...

along with YOURSELF

Sprite Terminator
I'm seriously looking at this app because it offers you the chance to nuke the information on the device as well as lock it out and locate it.
If you're REALLY smart, you configure it and cook it into a ROM so that it will even survive a hard reset.

ok thanks for all the help everybody... now i don't know which one to pick lol

there is also MaspWare GuardMobile, with remote commands by sms to lock, get location, soft and hard reset.....

can u tell me which version of TomTom works ok?
Thx

the one I use is version 7, smart phone edition

I got TomTom installed but i wait for ever to get a satellite lock.
And I never do.How long do i have to wait to get a lock?
What settings are we supposed to set in order for it to work. My HD locks in 2 seconds when sitting next to my Snap.
Also is there a quick GPS app in the Snap?I couldnt find it.
Thx

I use Garmin Mobile XT now, check it out http://www.bupahs.com/2009/10/garmin-mobile-xt-smartphone.html

I just hope i never get your problem with mine. Im getting one in a couple of days. One of the reasons why im upgrading from my dash is so i don't have to use my bluetooth gps.
Wish me luck!
EDIT:
Well I got my phone and I've got the problem. I wait forever and i never get a lock!! What should I do?
EDIT:
Yay it works now . It was pretty obvious to fix it in the end (If it is called fixing) There is a program called quickgps in the startmenu. Press download and it downloads details about the satellite so its easier for the gps to get a lock. I have only walked around testing it and it seems to be working good so far

Any TomTom 7 user on the Snap ?

Hi,
I did not find how to switch from a country to another when performing an address search. I only have access to addresses in my home country...
Did anyone find how to change the country on our non-touch devices ?
Thx

You have to delete MapSettings.cfg from map directory. Then you can choose another country.
With MapSettings.cfg you will delete home adress and previous destinations, but it is only one way, how to change country...

Actually, you can obtain the same result by reseting the software to its initial state from the menu... But then you have to go through all the configuration process, which is annoying.
There hase to be another way ; on the touchscreen version, all you have to do is touch the flag...
I saw in another post that someone did it using MyMobiler. Not very useful, since I generally use the GPS function as a stand-alone, but I would still be interested in knowing how he did that.

quick question regarding tt7 maps...
hi there,
sorry for asking something not on the topic...
I understand you use tt7 on your snap, I also use tt7 but my device does not recognise the map (version 720). I know for sure tt7 and the map are compatible because I got them on my polaris and hd2.
Would you tell me what map version you use for your tt7 on the snap, and if possible would post link to download,please ???

Not very legit request...
I use TomTom 7.915 (9196), with European Map v835.2421
You map has to be registered for you device's unique ID.
