Yes, i can also confirm it works great in all resolutions
Thanks for the feedback, could I bother one of you to post a screen shot at the 96dpi setting?
I am wondering if at 96dpi there is still the fat bars at the top and bottom of the screen taking up valuable real estate.
Or does TOMTOM Navigator run it's own screen with no WM6 bars??
Thanks
Keith
bump, request screen shot of TOMTOM @ 96dpi...
I can has cheezburger????
why need a screenshot it looks the same at every resolution.
No black bars, just full screen navigation the same as on any tt equipped device.
If the same could be said for IGO 8 then I'd buy that when it comes out, as I prefer it to TT but I think there's somewhere in between fat and no chance of it doing realvga.
Thanks you answered my question.

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.

what do you mean by "normal"
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,).

This is NOT a warez question.
My last post was deleted by the moderator Gsleon3 with this reason, (see below).
I think that the question is totaly in order and Im sending the same message as I sent to Navngo.
Hi,
I recently bought my self a new phone with built in GPS, (SonyEricsson Xperia).
I have had TomTom for years on my phones before but was really disappointed by their way of handling longtime customers regarding the possibilities to upgrade maps or the program. I was told to upgrade to a price the same as buying a new licens which I think is very unthankful when I have been a customer for 5 years and upgraded two times before.
I have read a lot of good reviews on the web about your product iGO8 and would like to know if it’s possible to run it on the WVGA resolution of my new Xperia.
Please let me know because I want to buy a navigation program as soon as possible.
I have seen sites regarding changing skins for iGO, if I buy the software, would that mean that I’m not allowed to modify the look of the program?
Best regards,
Miki

Being as this is an issue only on CRACKED & HACKED versions of NavNGo IGo8, your thread has been removed. We do NOT tolertate warez or piracy here at XDA-Developers. Warez or Piracy related posts are grounds for review & usually result in a one week or greater ban, even for first offenses.
This is a warning. Do NOT discuss warez related versions, hacks, fixes, etc... on XDA. Go elsewhere for that. You are probably asking your question here because the site you got your warez version from is shut down. Well guess what? It is shut down thanks to NavNgo & Igo8.
Where is the problem. Shure, you can run IGO8 on Xperia. You have a Card Slot and you can run IGO8 with the original skin. If you not like it, you find many skins in the web. Good luck for buy.
Well the problem is, that according to Navngos site, they dont support WVGA and they havnt listed Xperia as a supported model. This doesnt have to mean that it wont work. But I dont want to buy a program that doesnt work.
I have read about people making it possible to use 800x480 skins.
The only thing I want to know is, does it work with 800x480 and Navngos standard skin.
When you write, "sure, you can run iGo8 on the xperia", does that mean that you have done so or are your only saying so because the xperia has a card slot?
/Miki
You can run IGO8 on PC to, why not run on Xperia. I told you, that you have many skins for this sulution, but I have no Xperia, that you can trust me to 100%.
Im sorry Neo130, but why do you even bother to write anything here when you clearly dont own a Xperia. I get the impression that your experiance with WM devices are very poor when you compare the xperia with a regular PC. I also thought I made it clear that my question was if it was possible to use the standard skin. Im not intrested in other skins. The only reason to look at other skins would be to modify the 640x480 skin to be a 800x480 skin if the Navngo dont have a 800x480 skin.
If you have information regarding a WVGA skin that looks like the standard then please let me know.
I havent got any answer from Navngo yet. I havent got any answer from this forum that the standard skin works. So right now it looks like I will have to look for another Nav program. I wont be buying a software where I will have to make a skin by my self and then hassle with getting it to work. If I know there is a WVGA skin just like the original and that it aint hard to make it work, then maybe Ill buy the program but for now Ill wait.
If any one out there has another nav.program that you like and that works on the Xperia, (not TomTom), please let me know.

hi,
Yesterday was an post wich was deleted becaus of moderathor thoth that it was discusion abaut hacked programs.
the thtead abaut tomtom survived. install tomtom and download free map to test the programm.that is tomtom option.
igo8 has also trial .and skins are free. just download , rename data.zip and place in igo folder.
I think the thred was delated because there was link for skin for igo to page where YOu can download also cracked progs.
anyway Ill try to get igo working on x1 sense it was reported to work.
and let YOu know whot is whot.
and for information I personaly dont like Igo8. I have miomap c520 and I think miomap 3.3 has better interface.I dont need hauses on map, like igo 8 has.
buy igo 8 and find in google skin with 400_240
then rename it to data.zip place in igo 8 directory.
then edit sys in program folder. not sdcard.so it stands like this
[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"
[interface]
maxzoom2d=6000000
minzoom2D=40
show_exit=1
skin="ui_igo8"
resolution_dir="400_240"
vga=1
[rawdisplay]
class="landscape"
highres=1
screen_x=800
screen_y=480
that`s all
Thank You Arnisv.
I totaly missed Mio, it does look nice. I dont care about the 3d buildings, probably the first thing to turn off.
What Im after is a good looking GUI, a fast program, fast calculating routes and fast when updating the screen. Its also a must that it should be possible to enter a streets name befor the city. You cant do that with tomtom and in stockholm thats a real pain. Tomtom wont find an address if you only write Stockholm and the street name. You have to be more specific and enter that areas name intstead of Stockholm. Even if I live in Stockholm and have been around everywhere I still dont know all the area names or exact where their boundarys start and stop, and many times due to that Tomtom couldnt find the street.
Didnt find a downloadable trial version of iGO8. I would be very grateful if you could try if it works on the Xperia.
Thanks,
Miki
igo8 has the same search like miomap.
@mikiqtek, sorry for my poor english, but I write that you can run IGO8 on a PC to. That means, a lot of skinner are working for IGO8. And I see skins for your Xperia. You never write from a standart skin IGO. You write, can IGO8 run on Experia - And I say YES, because I read the skinnerforums. And my experience from PPC is about 8 years. I hope you find your answer.
Why not use google maps? It's free...
What's the difference?
Theres a 800x480 skin here

The difference is 3D navigation with turn by turn voice directions, GUI optimised for driving, and full map sets, vs. a 2D map that only beeps at turns, is too complicated to truly read while driving, and has to be downloaded on the fly meaning it will not work if you enter an area with no service.

its 400_240 skin and still need to edit sys
Is there anyone who is using ! it on the Xperia ?
I am trying to. But I am having problems with the data.zip file. I can´t find the right data.zip with includes the 400_240 (or 240_400) folder running with the version of the iGO8.exe.
I got a small success with a copy of the 320_240 folder (in data.zip) renamed to 400_240 - but a part of the screen shows no program window...

Hi
I still have problems with igo on my x1. i loaded the skin from above and actualized both data.zip and sys.txt.
i see the start up screen for about 20 seconds then it crashes.
does anyone know where the problem is?
no problems occur while using the original and official NavNGo iGo 8 software release of the program which is downloadable through their content manager application - as the s/w was updated to officially support Omnia´s screen resolution, the solution described in this thread will work with an official and legal copy of the program, I assume.

I tried both iGO2006 and iGO8 to run on my XPERIA X1 but unfortunately I did not get either one working, though both apps did work fine on my HTC P3300. I now use TomTom Navigator 7 and that runs just fine. That also uses the complete "screen real estate" resulting in fantastic map views, without stretching whatsoever. Hope this helps.
I am using Footprints QVGA with Tom Tom Navigator 7.
Does anybody know if there is any registry tweak or file to make Footprints use Tom tom instead of Google maps??
i can take pics with footprints and it shows the coordinates or whatever, but when i push the button to find it in map, it opens google maps instead of Tom Tom.
any help will be very appreciated.
Edit: Nevermind, got it fixed.
What was the fix??
Having the same problem...what did you do to fix it??
Thanks!!
Hi, would like a cab for vga, anyone know or would be able to make one? i searched for ages and could only find cab's for lower than vga.
