The Menu Icon are now OK but the PIOs one still too small
TomTom 7 Build 9028 = normal icons
Build 9030 = small icons.
At least, that was my experience.

Are you talking about POI icon
What is your HTC model ?

Could you please write your version? THX
P.S. Mine is 7.450 (9028) and everything is smaller than it was on the Trinity...
I experienced the same thing - moved from 9028 to 9030 and the icons shrunk.
Actually I got so pissed off with TomTom customer services that I am now trying out iGO8 and probably wont go back to TomTom. They are soooo greedy.
I have now bought 3 different maps for my Diamond and only one works (and its not the one I wanted in the first place!) I also paid the traffic subscription and it wont work with any of the maps I have. Now Tomtom are refusing to refund me on the other maps or even do some kind of exchange. Not the kind of customer service I expect and certainly not what is needed to retain custom!!!
I vote with my feet!!!

I've got the 7.450 (9028)
All is OK exepted the POI icon which still very (too) small
Got no problem what so ever with the 7.450 build 9028.
Everything works great and the icons are just normal.
I thing we can change the Icon size in a config file .... I will have a look...
Why not contact TomTom about this? I have seen a working VGA version of TT7 Build 9030. But I can't tell if there is a legal version of it.
The icons are not small, there are actually the same size as you have on your Trinity, or any other qVGA device for that matter. They look smaller because the Diamond has a VGA resolution.
So if you have a qVGA version on your device you should contact TT that you bought an incompatible verision. Some Diamonds are even shipped with TT7 (Build 9028 if I'm correct.) There are enough links to legal CAB's floating around on XDA
I have 9028 build and this is suposed VGA version.
All is OK with the "VGA Version" except the POI Icons....
I am running build 9028 and icons ARE small.
Even map is smaller than the navigator 6 on my Touch Cruise.
Any solution?
I noticed that some of the menus (e.g. choose what to show on the "homescreen") is normal size and the next menu is small.
Wierd....
what about some sceenshots instead of talking of "small" and "normal"?
I had a problem with custom cursors being small on TT7(9028). I just resized the bitmap and it worked.

I also tried changing the bitmap size but TomTom 7 just reverted back to the standard blue arrow, what size did you increase it to?
I'm using tomtom 7.450 (9028) cant complain much i looks great, fantastic res on screen
everything is smaller as its a very small screen however i can see a lot of the map on screen.
i'm using the 7.20 UK maps as tomtom only sell the euro map for the htc, it eats up a large chunk of the storage.
i already owned the 7.20 UK maps (much smaller about 120MB) for a TT PNA device and works great with a few tweeks (wink, wink,).

Where could you buy TomTom 7? I have Navigator 6 installed and can't find a way to buy Nav 7.
ok great thx, for all this aswers
could you please make screenshots of your navigation software?
how does it look on a 800x480 screen? resized, black bar, skewed, small icons.. ?
thanks.
There will be a Co-Pilot specific version coming out - http://blog.copilotlive.net/?p=208
I presume v7 works fine, but just doesn't make the most of the resolution.
Guys,
If you have a Navigation program 'successfully' working on your machine could you post it at the topic 'Programs/Utilites & Games ~ working on the Touch HD' here~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442663
Thanks.

How did you get the software up and running?
Whenever I try to start the program (installation works fine), it crashes after the starting screen saying the specific resolution can't be loaded/found.
Have you changed the sys.txt in any way?
Where did you get you version from.
Did you try the skin supporting 800x480 resolution?

TomTom Navigator 6 working on HD
Is it possible that someone can check if TomTom 6 Navigator is working on Touch HD because i want to use this application that i already have.
It wil make my choice very easy then!
Thanks
Why would HTC make a phone that, on the face of it, seems to have a lot of programs that just won't work, particularly my (ancient) TomTom6. And what about TCMP ? How would I run my videos ? I'm after one as well, but am now a little nervous that it may be false economy.
i cant get TomTom 6 to work. could be something that i am doing, anyone else having this problem?

Me too. I got my Touch HD this morning and tomtom 6 won't even start up. I think part of it is because of the screen resolution of the Touch HD
Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.20wp works fine (have only tried SA March 2008 mapset). So far no obvious problems experienced though I have not extensively tested everything.
I also loaded MobiTrak's HandyMAP Pro PPC V5.2 (Build 1129) with SA and USA maps. The program Handymap2.exe fails when switching maps, and once a map is opened it won't open again (file not found error). A soft reset does not fix this problem.
Anybody got TomTom6 working on the Xperia without running the resolution fix first? Tomtom 6 is working on my Xperia, but the screen is all messed up because of the resolution if I don't run VModeSwitch first.
Yes it works
It was like magic: I just took my microsd from the hermes inserted it in the xperia and started tomtom from the microsd. Thats it . The only thing I had to do is selecting the gps: wired nmea gps with 4800 on com4 (if you didn't changed that).
No problem with display resolution or anything else.

6.032 isn't working for me without WVGAFIX. How did you do that?
I use 7.9 vga version found on here, works beautifully...
Same here Works like a charm
Same for me... love TT7 on the X1, the resolution and bright screen make it look really smart.
Also loving the landscape view when you want to use the keyboard.

Tom Tom
What tom Tom you use in USA.Is free or i must pay somethink.If i call Tom Tom company and i have asked for any maps and softvare for Windows Mobile in cell phone,ansver was we don t sold any softver or maps for cell phone.
All,
Which version of TomTom v7.910.9185 or TomTom 7.450 is better? I have been running 7.4 without issues and would like to know what the differences are before upgrading? If there are no advantages I will stay as is since it works!
Also, does the software respond slower in different build?
Hawk
the 7.910 version has large qwerty for WVGA display and is detected by TTHome.

Does it crash or freeze at anytime? I have heard 7.9 has a few issues whcih is why i stayed on the previous version.
Hawk
I recommend to stay on 7.450. Tried both version more than a week and the 7.450 is absolutly fine on the my HD, instead of a few small problems with 7.910.
No problem with TT7_910.9185_VGA black on my BlackStone
TomTom v7.910.9185 or TomTom 7.450 which is better?
There's only one way to find out...FIGHT!!
Absolutely 7.910.9185
QWERTY large
Splash full screen
More stable
What difference beetwen the two version?
Just like Batista70 , i use the TT7_910.9185_VGA black version and it's ok on my HD.
7.910 seems to update the screen a lot slower then 7.450. Is really noticable when going around roundabouts. I am sticking with 7.450 for now, even if I have to go back to a v7 map.
I'm still with the old release, it works great but I'll give a try to newer.
Anyway there are no additional features for new devices or res.
looks like most people want TomTom 7.450 !"
I experienced some problems with fonts squashed together using the old version.
For me, the newer version fixes these issues with a larger "keypad" and makes it easier to use with fingers. I've not experinced any bugs with it.
Be aware, however, that there seem to be numerous "variants" of the 7.910 revision kicking around on the internet and some of them don't seem to work properly on the 'HD. There is a link on this forum to a set of cabfiles that do work.
Right..
I have them both.. and for me.. useability is more important than any speed/refresh issue.
v7.910.9185 works fine. It has a keyboard that you can use when entering destinations.
7.450 is good.. but it has a really unusable keyboard for destinations.
Takes your pick
I use 7.910

Many thanks

anyone got the forum where the tomtom 7.9 software is at?
anyone know?
Tom Tom software can be found on the tomtom site and best with a credit card.
and to answer the other post
Tom Tom software can be found on the tomtom site and best with a credit card.
After over six weeks finally an answer from TomTom - could not be worse, it reads:
"Navigator 7 is a software product that is only available as an exclusive offering that comes preloaded on specific handsets that are available only in Europe. As such, unfortunately we do not have a Navigator 7 solution for your handsets. Outside of TomTom’s policy, our exclusivity with the handset manufactures prevents us from complying with your request. We do apologize for any inconvenience."
Is that no the best way to loose customers....
Although there are other ways to get TomTom 7 on your Xperia, that sucks indeed.
Looks like you won't get an official one. That sucks of them to be honest. I'm not an 'honorable' customer myself as I use a cracked one. But this is a fail-safe way of making paying customers go away.
If they won't sell it, that's their fault...
There are plenty of places to get TT7 on the net and it works a treat on the X1.
IGO8 is so much better than Tomtom anyway. I love igo8.
TomTom 7 - v7.910.9185 is the latest version available to download, works great on x1 but I agree igo 8 is better.

Not really.
IGO has no automatic intelligent traffic rerouting based on real world traffic jams. No automatic updating of speed camera's (fixed & mobile). Igo does have a clickable navigation screen though. I.e. you can click on something your passing and see what it is. Tomtom 6 misses that, don't know about 7.
for me, tomtom 7.910 works like a charm
Did you have to do anything special to get 7.910 installed on yor X1. Everytime i try it comes up with device not supported.
Do you need to be connected to the internet to use tomtom7?

There is however a workaround. Download Resource Hacker, open a copy of TomTom Navigator.exe and remove the resource under HI_RES_AWARE. Save the file and replace on device.
Then I would recommend to install the navigation panel to easily run tomtom in landscape without having the keyboard out. If you use panels, that is ..
The text in the statusline is getting bigger as well, and portrait navigation is a bit narrow.
hello,
i've got tomtom 7 installed on my HD2 but the keyboard is extremely small. any idea how to fix that? changing in to large in preferences doesn't make any difference, it's about the size of the status bar on the bottom. the same version of tomtom on my i-mate 9502 works fine. any ideas? thanks.
Make room for a small one
Ironic as it sounds but go into your settings and change the keyboard to smal... its the same on the HD from what I can remember.. If it dont wok dont flame me as I dont own either device but did this on my mates HD and it worked ;-)
didn't work for me.
You need wvga version instead of qvga
I have tomtom 7.916 and the keyboard is perfect. Maybe you have an old tomtom version ?
I have found by using the BSB tweeks mod and enable the TOM TOM Prog to turn to landscape when you turn phone, the keyboard is made much much bigger
thanks for your replies.
small keyboard is the same as large, doesn't matter what i chose.
also, i don't know where i can get the wvga version as the only one i've got is the qvga.
i have tomtom 7.450 which is not newest but it worked fine on my vga screen in i-mate 9502.
I have a cab for 7.9 but it won't acknowledge my perfectly legal map.

We're not allowed to post links to warez sites, but if you were to look at the usual suspect ppc web sites I'm sure there are ways to activate your maps
As far as I know TomTom don't officially support the HD2 yet, but there are ways around this. If you have a legit map and legit TomTom software I personally don't have any issues with you using an alternative source for your downloads.
