Navigon Mobile Navigator 5.0 and 5.1 both works like charm on JasJar and for me it is much better than TomTom already. No problematic installations, works from SD straight ahead, maps are not splitted (the whole Europe is one file), you do not need to switch crossing the borders.
The maps source is better (maps are more accurate than TomTom ones).
I, definitely, recommend it.

Hi surinamer,
I do not think there are is anything special in Navigon config (i use BT GPS receiver).
I've installed Navigon completely and huge European map (~950Mb) to SD. I beleive you need to look at your general WM power and backlit
settings.
Forgot to mention - Navigon eats a lot of RAM - ~20-25Mb. So, free RAM as much as you can.
Regards,
baudy.

Hi Baudy2,
after reading your post I've installed on my xda exec Navigon 5, everything is ok with the installation,BT is automatically found, the only trouble is that when I try to navigate to a place that is about 3-4 Km from me, everything's ok,but if I'll try to set up a trip of more than 5Km the navigator go crazy and told me that I 've reach my destination after just 200 meters.
I've tried to free up as much RAM asi can, but with no results.
Any idea???

Sounds like a real threat for TomTom... :lol: :lol:
And sorry guys but an idea of installing a whole europe map as an only option is pretty riddiculous for me.
950MB needed even If I never go out of London :roll: .

Have an unique map it's just an option and if you travel all over Europe and drive for more than 1200Km in one day is wellcome...
The real problem is that I've tried TT5 and I've problem with maps not up to date,BT interference with my handsfree...
I try with Navigon and still have troubles....
Is there any software house who is able to provide a software that really works??????

Hi All,
Which of these navigation services offer the best UK traffic information ?

TomTom Traffic uses data from ITIS holdings which generates very accurate traffic flow data... I swear by it!

You've forgot to pay for the Navigon software.
There is no Navigon 5.1 cracked. Only 5.0. So, downgrade to 5.0. It works like charm.

navngo

anyone got navngo to work on the wizard ?
I had the std sd version. copied it to minisd and used a hack I found (ahem!) to get by the security encoding.
It installs now and loads up, but after staying on the menu screen for a few seconds it crashes out !!!
Any use this, and is it a WM5 or a Wizard issue ?
rgds

i think the problem is that the NAV N GO doesnt know what MINI-SD card is.
since this NAVNGO Software workds great on the Jasjar.
Nadav.

I don't think the minisd card is anything to do with it. navngo told me themselves that it will work fine on minisd and that they will transfer it for 60 nis. I am just worried that there is something wrong with the wizard. however its good to know that it is working ok on your jasjar, obviously wm5 is not a problem.

Where did you purchase this from? I can only find Israeli sites with NavnGo. I found references that NavnGo is actually iGo (http://www.i-go.com) but there is no information of where this software is available.
It looks pretty good though.

Nadav,
You say Nav N Go works perfect on JasJar. Which GPS receiver are you using ? I have the one from TOMTOM SIRF III and am not able to make a connection to the GPS receiver..

navngo is a pretty cool gps nav system specialising in multilingual implementations. it has all the latest stuff like 3d, night view, etc.
Due to its roots it is currently only targeted at the following countries:
1. Hungary
2. Israel
3. Romania
4. Slovenia
I believe the team are currently working on a pan-european version to compete with tom tom
In terms of the questions above. I have always found the navngo team very helpful. If you email them they will take 3-4 days to reply but will normally always do so.
rgds

colonel, where did you purchase your copy from? I can't find it for sale anywhere.

I purchased it from a bug retail store in Israel. The central european version can be purchased in computer retail stores. Some details are here:

tomtom 5 problem

my problem is TomTom 5 put on sd card put in XDA and and it fires up for one second then nothing? Does the same when I open from PDA?

Not exactly sure what the problem is, but have you tried the tip in here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39979

Had exactly the same problem. Solved it by downloading v5.21 from the Tomtom web site to my PC and installing it to the Exec in the usual way over the USB cable. My tomtom SD card was in the slot when installing but probably doesn't need to be.
Easy peasy! Tomtom support would not tell me how to do this as it was more than their job's worth as they do not yet support the Exec.
Now you need to activate the maps by emailing Tomtom with your product code, device code and proof of purchase if you are installing into another PDA from your original (assuming you have upgraded your phone and have a legit copy of tomtom). They will email you back an activation code.

thanks done that and works a treat, now just got to get the BT gps working

Glad to hear you got it sorted. Only one problem with me now is that tomtom refuse to give me a new activation code 'under any circumstances' as they do not support the Exec. Has anyone had the same problem and how do you get around it? Not so easy-peasy after all!!

My TomTom 5.0 refused to install or the update didn't install. I ended up downloading a cracked SD card version... and that worked! Don't know if I can/may upload it to ftp...
B.T.W. TomTom really looks good in 480x640!!!
Just missing an "Auto-rotate" function...

I'd suggest against posting anything to the ftp server as that would make the owners of the site liable for hosting illegal files.
We need to protect the integrity of the site at all costs or we'll lose it.

Happily Tom tom are now supporting the XDA Exec so activation codes and support from them are now forthcoming for this model

TomTom 7 on XV6800

Hello,
I'm looking into enabling gps on my VZW XV6800 and I saw that the TomTom7 is out. Does the TomTom 7 work on the XV6800 or will I have to use the TomTom6?
Thanks,
Chris

I'm an advance GPS user with a Verizon Titan (XV6800) and custom ROM. I'm fully unlocked with a completely functioning GPS (no AGPS here and no digital connection fees).
I'm really impressed with Garmin XT for the phone and novice users. The added features through WIFI are very good. Speedcams and other added features are easily obtained for for a small fee or free for experienced users (lots of sites to download free).
Superior of all the SW out there is IGO8, 3D terrain and 3D buildings in major cities (WoW). Highly customizable --- the very best (NavNGO.com)
I would not buy or desire to use Tom Tom, I have over 40 hours of use and do not like their SW no matter how I try.
Least expensive SW with the greatest utility (including free trial) is POLNav v5.

RangerDave and ShadowT thanks for the info.
RangerDave could you point me in the direction where I can download the TT7 for the XV6800? Also I believe that once I have the TT7 running it will ask me to download a map of my area to demo correct?
Thanks,
Chris

Well since you have 2 posts here I will tell you like this.
Dear Mr @%$^*!$$.
Asking for free software is not following the rules here.
You will either pay $$ for it or hit up your other friend "google" and see what he says. Even with google you may still pay for it with a nice fat bug on your pc.
I'm not going to tel you how to get it for free unless tomtom web site has a free trial, then you still have to unlock the software, optain the map, unlock the map, create a pair of files with some special code that were a pain in the butt..............
RD

Ok,
I'm not looking at getting it for free what I'm not understanding is you said you had TT7 working. I go to TomTom's site I don't see TT7 Navigator only TT5 and TT6. Then I read that the Navigator is free but you have to buy the maps. I don't have a problem buying the maps as long as I know it works on my phone. From what I had read in other posts is that you can install TT7 and then through TT7 go to the TomTom site and download a demo map of your area. This is what I want to try to find out if I can get it working on my phone. I know I have to do some rom upgrades and radio upgrades to get GPS working on the phone but I would like to try it with a Demo if they have one before I go out and buy it. When I asked for a link I was more referring to a link on TomTom's site where the TT7 could be downloaded with the demo maps. However I can't even find TT7 on the site at all.
Thanks,
Chris

Chris,
I have the mogul 6800 and have the TT7 and it is pretty reliable- so highly recommend it. I paid someone (works at cellphone place) to upgrade my rom (Sprint) and get the GPS working. I have also tried iGO8 but it was somewhat buggy... but great app. My bud has iGuidance 09 on his XV6800, it works great as the TT7 and doesn't hogg the few memory that the htc 6800 has... But my other bud has the HTC Touch Pro with Garmin TX and that is the best one, visual speaking..
But I say the TT7 is just right for the 6800... I hear the new Diamond2 will also pre-installed too.
Worth upgrading to get the GPS working...
Good luck Chris...

ok so I have TT7 loaded on my XV6800 and I have the "Valhalla_Legends_GPSServer" running in Mode=0. Google maps works great about 6 sats. GPS Toggle also says about 6 sats and another program I have for gps works. However when I have TomTom up the GPS signals keep jumping all over the place. Not the normal slight jumping but I'll go from North South East West and back and forth. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

So i've got TomTom working by using GpsGate 2.6 and setting tomtom to use Other NMEA GPS receiver with baud rate of 9600 and the Franson COM2. I'm not sure why it's working this way but then again I wasn't sure why the GPS cordinates where jumping all over when I had it set to use Internal GPS without GpsGate. The problem I have right now is that GpsGate is only a demo for 14 days. Does anyone know of a freeware app that will do the same thing or another way to get TomTom to work?
Thanks

I installed TomTom 7 on my XV6800 with all the maps and it works, but it says: "No GPS device!"
My GPS is unlocked and was working with google navigator, but the problem is that i have to have wifi to download maps and such.
Can someone help me getting the GPS activated with TomTom?

Tom tom home now working with x1

Hi all latest version of tom tom home is now working with my xperia with tom tom 7 installed, including mapshare and have downloaded over 3000 corrections to my map Didn't change anything it just started connecting.

Hm, TomTom allows free updates for maps? I'm still using TomTom 6 but have never updated the maps before. How do I go about in doing that?

Weird...mine worked from the get go...

sorry.. you mean i can buy tomtom7 for x1 now or?

It seems it's touchy - my TTH (2.5) has never connected.
Wish I could get it to connect, and will try again tonight, because a decent GPS program is hard to come by.
Wayfinder wants to download maps over GPRS which is simply unacceptable. Downloading 185 MB maps over GPRS @ approx 50c-1Eur per MB!! (maploader doesn't see the phone, even though WM Device Center sees it)

Sorry if this is a stupid question but how do you connect to Tomtom Home from within the Tomtom 7 program? I can't see it in any menus.

dont need to just connect x1 to pc with tomtom home running and it will detect it , you dont have to have tomtom 7 running when you connect.

That is if you have lady luck on your side

I agree with the updated version of Tomtom Home I can now connect, and Home can see the phone and SD card. It correctly identifies it as X1i, but won't allow me to buy a map for the device. I'm running 7.910.9185. It can also see the app, free local map and one voice downloaded directly to the device.
On the Tomtom site it also warns "Please note that maps for Navigator 7 are only compatible with devices that have this software pre-installed. Please ensure that you have Navigator 7 installed on your device before purchasing a map. "
...so I'm not really interested in wasting the money unless anyone can verify a method of adding full UK map to an X1 through Home?

Yes wont allow the purchase of maps but if you have the latest map installed already, in allows you to use map share to update the map and adds just under 4000 corrections to your map.

Arrrrrrgh. Still no connection with Tom Tom Home.
I'm running:
R2A0010 UK Generic
TTH: 2.6.1.1549
TT7: 7.910.9185
For those who have it working - what versions are you running?

7.915 9196 tt7
uk map 825 2159
tth 2.6.1.1549

Trying in this thread too, hoping for help...
I've got the same version of TT7 installed on phone, working OK.
But, I can not access my maps bought from TomTom.
They show in TomTom Home (v.2.6), but not downloadable.
TT Home recognizes my xperia, but says it's invalid application installation.
When I asked on an earlier thread I was told I needed install TT7 on SD card, not phone memory. But my installation does not give me any target options...
Sorry for being a noob, but sure hope someone can guide me thru this, going on holiday to the UK monday, would love to have it up and running with maps by then.
If a step by step can be given pls do so, via PM or here.
Thx in advance

when installing tt7 , win mobile gives the option to install on Device (phone) or storage card (SD). Hope that helps.

The version I have also gives me the option for device or SD card.
Finally got TomTom working.. after having actually legally bought the maps, I had to download and crack a pirate copy to be able to use them.
Go figure.

i can't get mapshare to work, it just says mapshare is not supported either for your device or the map you are using. can anyone help with this? i'm using tt7 7.915 9196 and western and central europe maps v815.2034

Im having problem when im loading new poi´s , i have to restart the program after each downloaded poi...
Does anyone else have that problem ?
