hello, i heard that tomtom navigator software work for the htv tyln II, does it work for the HTC Wing also? where can i get that software? thanks
It probably should work, but definitely slower (ram and processor, duh), but i have no idea where to get it.
by the way, just for your information, the tmobile wing is the HTC Atlas, which functionally the same as the herald except for the casing. The reason i'm saying this is because theres also a "HTC Wings" that is a totally different device.
Small world, huh?
But there is no GPS in the wing/herald..
So no TomTom, correct?
no built-in gps, no
but you can always bluetooth one up and use whatever map program you want with it *cough*googlemaps*cough*

Hello, I'm new to the forum.
I'm interested in using the HTC Wizard with a GPS software managing TMC like Navigon MobileNavigator 5.
Does anyone have any experience with this match?
Thank you in advance.
tried Navigon with my MDA and its very very slow
Hi,
I also use NM5 on the MDA. I think it's working fine when you overclock the MDA :lol:
If installed the map on the SD-Card and NM5 itself in the RAM.
Regards,
I am using TOMTOM - it takes less resources than Mobile Navigator and is working fine! You can have a TMC like support from TOMTOM using GPRS and a PLUS Service of TOMTOM- that is with a yearly extra fee - but you do not need a more expensive TMC GPS solution.
You have to calculate what is better for you.
@wawibu: How do you do?
Navigon on Qtek 9100
It´s work very fine and fast. No problems.
Qtek 9100 with Navigon 5.2.5
I've got a demo copy of Mapopolis on my 8125. I'm using a Holux GPSlim236 over BT to get GPS info.
Overall it works fine. It has a few quirks, like not always picking the route I would take but that's to be expected I guess. Searching large maps like Cook County, IL will sometimes freeze the device for a few seconds while it looks and sometimes will not come up with the address match. The voices do not impress me either, but it does get you to where you need to be.
I'm probalby still going to buy TomTom for the US though. From what I've seen and read, TomTom beats all, and it's only $50 more than Mapopolis.
TomTom is the roxs, I know,but hard to find illegit version to test b4 i buy.
I will try Iguidance, but not sure if North America is supported or works on MDA.
Igo, Navigon, Route 66 are all European.
GPS business in the USA looks like TomTom is the only option but again i dont wanna buy it b4 i test it. If anyone can give me opinions to how it well or poorly it works, that would be awesome!!
ALSO i will be using it with a 16channel Bluetooth GPS reciever.
hopefully the above coverd all the q's if you have any for me let me know.. ALSO i did all the searching and finding. Majority of hits were European, that's y i made the post silly!
Brit,
PS, if you have Tomtom 5.00 PLS if you can email me the software, my BF has all the USA maps, but his software is 5.21 and they wont read on 5.00 and his passcode is already used up for 5.21 upgrade
Also the MDA is a PPC or WM5? This GPS thing is getting really confusing for me. Some say PPC is not wm5 and other say ppc is wm5.
Will Iguidance work on my Mda???? it's compatible with ppc's!
Sorry for sounding so dumb but stuff like sthis ticks me off.
I'm using Iguidance 3.0 and bluetooth gps (don't buy expensive gps because it doesn't make much difference, mine is only $59).And setup is very easy with mda. I hope this helps.
I use iGuidance with NA maps on the MDA and it works just fine. I didn't much care for TomTom at all. I understand iGuidance's speech is slow because of some interaction with ActiveSync but I also understand that it's being worked on and it doesn't really take away from the functionality at all. I use it with a Holux GPSlim 236 via bluetooth without any problems.
Sweeet.. I guess ill pull the trigger on Iguidance then.. I bought a cheap bluetooth receiver from fleabay.. it's not brand name or anything, but it was an impulse buy @ any rate.. we'll see how it goes.
Iguidance looks like the Honda/Acura Navigation rite. From the top not Angled like Tomtom?
Alos has Day and Night feature?
Brit
Re: Which GPS software Works Well with USDM MDA and in the U
IMHO, Mapopolis ( http://www.mapopolis.com ) may serve your purpose better. The map is more up-to-date than TomTom's, and you can try it for free for a couple of days. However, Mapopolis does lack some good features of TomTom, like 3-D view.

PPC Is pocket pc wm5 is the operating system
i got tom tom and Iguidance working! both look good!
i just have to wait and test it with the gps reciever that i bought. but I may just go out and purchase tomtom b/c many recommend it..
Im using I-go with the american states maps. I like it alot. You can "find" a "test copy" :roll: of it on the web with very little searching along with all the north american maps.
I like that it has overhead view, 3d view, night mode, instant re-routing if you miss a turn, voice commands with different voice packs, a ton of usa points of interest and lots of other features. The maps are more current then tomtom also.
YG-PM!

Guess what.. I got my gps receiver today. YAY!!!!!!
this is what i did:
1. Turn Bluetooth ON
2. put the gps in pairing mode
3. Click on new partnership
4. It find teh gps and give it "xyz-gps"
5. I give the gps outgiong port "com 6"
@ this point the gps in bt setting has a big yellow circle with a question mark next to it.
so i go to Iguidance and tomtom 5 none of them will detect the gps reciever. SOO frustrated rite now. bout to throw Wizard and gps out the window!!! not really but u can imagine my frustration.
I wil try to use the Search function, but if anyone can help me out that would be AWESOME!!
Let me knwo if im doing something incorrectly... most likely i am! :shock:
Brittany S. :?:
NVM, I got Iguidance to work, but tomtom5 is still being a pain
I heard there was a new wizard model coming out with built in GPRS receiver, anyone know if this is true?
I'm going beat everyone to the punch and save you massive scorn....the current Wizard has GPRS already in it! GPRS stands for General Packet Radio Service, and is one of the ways Wizard (and many other phones) receives data.
Might you be referring to GPS (Global Positioning System)??? Wouldn't make sense for HTC to release an upgrade to Wizard with GPS as they release brand new models all the time (every few months it seems like). More than likely there is a phone out there that resembles the Wizard with the nifty slide out keyboard that also has GPS among other improved specs. Check out the wiki for other HTC phones (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/)
Oh, you're going to PAY for denying a beating...
lol, I meant the service that allows map software like tom tom to work (I guess this must be GPS then and not GPRS!!), because with the current wizard you need an additional bluetooth receiver right?

Yes, that is correct in order to use mapping software such as TomTom you will need a bluetooth GPS reciever.
thanks, man I feel like a doofus!

Don't worry I am sure we all had to learn somehow.

If you get a BT receiver (I isuggest the Holux GPSlim 236) you'll also need to activate the GPS panel in your wizard.
Here's a link with a nice tutorial. Courtesy of pockepc-Live, which I ran across on Molski's website (www.molski.biz) Thanks!!

Thanks for the info guys
I'm having real problems gettings TomTom Nav 5 to run on my X1.
I had it running fine on a Touch Pro (UK o2 stock), but the phone had a fault. So did the replacement phone, so I've now ended up with an X1 which as far as I can tell is pretty much the same hardware as the Touch Pro (excet for the screen size, obviously).
On previous HTC phones I've had to manually install TomTom Nav5 from the three cabs in the 2577 directory as the autorun.exe setup would fail. BUT the install worked fine and the software ran fine afterwards.
With the X1, when I run up the software I get a corrupted agreement screen (attached as iagree.png) which stays on screen for about 10-15 seconds, then the Windows Mobile 'there was a problem' screen (attached as problem.png).
This repeats a couple of times after sending the log data, then I'm back to my programmes folder.
Has anyone managed to get Nav 5 to work on the X1?
I know poeple have Nav7 working, but as I bought Nav5 and it worked on the Touch Pro I am loath to spend more money on software which was doing me fine up unutil this phone (I also have a Go910 which I use for most SatNav use, but its handy to have my old Nav5 on my phone for when I don't have the Go with me).
Cheers,
FM
TomTom Navigator 7 works fine on the X1.
http://www.tomtom.com/landing_pages/navigator7/en-gb/
As I said, I know TTN 7 works on the X1, but I have a fully paid for version of TTN5.
TTN5 worked fine on my Touch Pro, until the Touch Pro developed a fault. o2 are not able to supply the Touch Pro (Serra) any more in the UK, so I've had to make do with an X1.
I don't want to have to pay for TTN7, and I'd rather not have to go down the route of a cracked version of TTN7 when, as I say, I have a fully legit paid for version of TTN5.
TTN5 worked fine on all of my previous HTC phones, o2 XDA IIs, o2 XDA Mini S, O2 XDA Orbit and the Serra. The Serra being the first of the phones I've had with a VGA screen but TTN5 coping with it perfectly.
Woudl have been nice if TT had offered an upgrade path to TTN7 (or even TTN6), but they chose not to.
Now I'm stuck with a phone that won't run what I've paid for - because of o2 taking 3 months to replace my (Serra) handset with a new one (they failed to repair the firs, then replaced it with a refurb with a different fault!)
TTN5 installs OK, as I say in the first post, but fails to run with not much clue as to what might be causing it.
What are the diffs between the X1 and the Serra other than different screen resolution and aspect ratio, the missing accelerometer and different keyboard and keys layout? From the specs they appear to be very very similar, and the OS is surely the same (or could there be missing dlls from the o2 ROM maybe?)
-FM
Same here. For me it was even the guy from the TomTom helpdesk indicating that only TT7 will work on an X1 but that this version is not for sale.
He was very sorry that he could not help me with a legitimate solution...
When did you speak to TomTom? TTN7 is now out and available for WinMo phones.
ZI currently have a tytn II and my tp2 comes tomorrow.As of now I run tomtom 6 with u.s. maps. I am wondering what is out there for the tp2 with u.s. navigation. Any help I can get is much appreciated.
I made the same move from a tytn 2, I managed to download version of tomtom7 (7.45?) and used my tomtom 6 maps I already had. As tomtom won't support the TP2 I didn't see the point of paying out for TT7 which would need to be fiddled with to work. I only use the tp2 as a backup anyway now, as I have satnav in the car.
