hello
iGO 8.3.2 The best GPS program

TomTom 7.910

Hello
I installed TT 7.910(9185) with Western Europe 815_2024.
It works, but its sooo slow! The Map lags when I navigate very much. Like the CPU is to slow. I tried also small Maps like "Alps" and it lags too. Is not bether.
But on my TomTomOne V2 (266MHz, 32MB RAM is working very fine.)
Anyone have a Idea why is so slow when i navigate?
Thank You

sometimes lags are due to too much POI on maps
i use the same configuration as you (navigator & map) and i didn't notice any lags

Well, I use my speedcams from www.scdb.info as POI.
I live in Switzerland and there are Speedcams not allowed. TomTom dont provide any speedcams in Switzerland more...
But Im very happy with www.scdb.info on my OneV2 wich i use every day in my car. I drive about 1500km per week, And they get me once with a mobile speedcam^^

check on GPSPassion.com
i think speedcams are available for free

Hello
All Maps with 815_2024 works also on TT 7.910(9185)
the 2024 are "lite" Maps without IQ Routes and ALG.
To use IQ routes and ALG you need NavCore 8 and 815_2003 Maps.
I was drive now a little and it works fine and smooth!

you can use your POIs without lag.
in tomtom menù go in change preferences/show POI on map and desect all item , then in next page manage POIs/warn when near POIs and select your speedcams

Unable to use gps properly.

Hey guys,
first post on this, what seems to be a great forum.
I recently bought the Jade and overall i'm very pleased with it.
Today I had some time to install gps software. I picked TomTom 7.450 because i like it more than Igo. The program itself is installed well but i just can't get the receiver activated.
I allready used several settings (disabled agps, 'built-in gps' or 'other nmea receiver' in tomtom, also with different baud rates) but it keeps saying i have a bad reception, it's waiting for a useable signal and it doesn't find any satellites.
I already installe the cab file i found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3031549&postcount=5 but that also doesn't seem to help anything.
Would someone be willing to give a step by step guide in how to get this thing fixed?
Secondly, can someone tell me what setting I should use in orde to still see the 'start button' when i'm using TomTom. With my last pda it remained there when TomTom was activated, so I could also use other programs but with the Jade i can't seem to find how to do this.
Sorry if there are some grammatical errors in this post, I'm from Belgium . Thanks in advance!

update:
i managed to get some signal and got a fix, but after about a minute it was lost again and it won't find it again.
Also I installed IgO8 but it won't start on my jade so I guess I'll have to do it with TomTom...

OK, let's try to find where is the problem .
First chceck your registry. Find out what is your settings in this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS
Set GPSMode to 1
Set EnableAGPS to 0
If you already installed that CAB, it should be like this. This is going to make your GPS fix slower but more accurate and reliable (or it seems to do that ).
Second, download and install GPS Tuner from http://www.gpstuner.com/ . This is a great GPS software for offroad navigation which I use when testing GPS recievers.
Do not allow it to set your GPS receiver automatically. Set your GPS in GPS Tuner to COM 4, baud rate 4800 and Type 1. Go to "GPS Panel" and click green button "Start GPS". Do not leave this tab, because you can see how your receiver is getting fix. Be patient, especially if you do not have a good view of sky. The reason why I use this to test GPS is that you can see satelite signal even if you do not have a fix. Not all GPS applications do that.
If GPS Tuner is able to get fix in some time, there is something wrong with your TT settings. If it is not, there is something wrong with your GPS receiver or registry settings.

In the gps panel tab, the following results were given after pressing start gps (after about 2-3mins):
Lateral and longitudinal positions, altitude were correct
PDOP: 3,7 (good)
Fix: 3d fix
Furthermore it found 16 sats from which 7 were active.
So i presume it's not the gps unit itself but the TT settings? Registry settings are ok i think.
Many thanks allready!

Use latest version of TT
Try to install the latest version (v7.9) of TomTom. This one works ok on the Jade and you can also use the latest maps.

Right! And normaly there is no need to change any gps settings...
I just installed the latest TomTom and everything works fine.

Hey,
i got the 7.450 version to work and it's working brilliantly. Thanks for the link to the 7.9 version Jgeerts, but i'm going to stick with the 7.450 version now it's working .
Heb trouwens even even op je link rondgesnuffeld en de flitspalen zullen erg goed van pas komen! Waarvoor dank natuurlijk.

Yes, but version 7.9 gives correct status for the sattelite reception and it also supports the latest v8.15 (and higher) maps. Version 7.450 does not support the v8 maps.

To be very honest. The file you linked me to (http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/8910078/74070269/sharing.html) gives me an ttsystem file after unpacking without an extension (no .cab, no .exe) and i actually don't have a clue how to use it
edit:
ok, got it to work, i installed the TomTom_7.910.9185 QVGA Black. I hope this one's ok?

Correct version.

@ jgeerts -- thanks very much for linking it. Is it the exe file in the 'tomtom pda' folder that I should download? (TomTom Navigator 7.910.9185 qvga black.exe)? Or is it TTN_7.910.9185_Cracked.rar?

Wrong, I'am using 7.450 and v8.15 maps, works perfect!!!
To use v8 maps on TT7.450 use keygen v7
To use v8 maps on TT7.910 use keygen v8
That's all ;-)

I also have TTN_7.910 9185 QVGA Black.cab and when i trie to install it on my HTC Touch 3G NL i'am getting a errormessage: Installation of TTN_7.910 9185 QVGA Black.cab failed.
This file is okay, i had it installed on my HP iPaq hx2110 with WM5.
Anyone any idea?
TTN7.910 works now, read below how i managed it:
It allready had TTN_7.450.9028 VGA.cab installed on my HTC Touch 3G NL, although the Touch 3G is a QVGA device it worked (some textlines are to big for the screen).
On this thread i found following link: (http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/8...9/sharing.html).
There you can find: TT7_v7.910.9185_vga_via_update_van_7450.9028.rar in the tomtom pda folder.
In this download you wil find TomTom_7.450.9028.cab and 2 versions of TT7_v7.910.9185, black and blue incl. data.chk
After installing TomTom_7.450.9028.cab (or in my case TTN_7.450.9028 VGA.cab) all you have to do is copy the preffered version, black or blue of TomTom Navigator.exe and Data.chk to your device: in the folder (phone or storage memory)\Programmabestanden\Navigator.
Since i have a Dutch device the folder is called Programmabestanden, i don't know how it's called in English.
On my device there is also a folder Program Files, where in my case TT is not installed.
But i think most of you can figure it out yourselfs by know how it works, otherwise your not worthy a PDA.
With TTN 7.450 my HTC could find satellites but it was unable to show me how many it found. GPS receiption was good although. With A-GPS turned OFF.
With TTN 7.910 the problem above is solved, my HTC stil finds satellites and now i can see how many of them there are out there in the sky.
Another nice thing is that now although i installed VGA TT7.450 and replaced it with VGA TT7.910 i can read all text on the screen.
The text is smaller so it fits the screen but still very good readable.
Sincelry,
a big fan of TomTom.

Final solution to this problem !
Disabling AGPS is the cause of the issue we have here.
I've done some testing with AGPS enabled and GPSMode set to 1 and the results are good (quick fix and almost no lag).
Please read my reply on another topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3143383&postcount=17
A cab is attached to it to make the registry changes.
Kind regards.

boring GPS fix lag...
I wonder if all Jade owners are happy w/ their GPS performance..
Despite experiencing many tweaks, it still lags too much..
Any suggestion from the guys are happy w/ it..??

I am quite happy with my GPS performance. However i am using Garmin XT. There is lag, of course but probably by a few ms (a few feet) but it does not make me miss a turn or a junction.

Wrong, 7.450 does support v8.15 maps, but only with keygen v7. don't ask me why, the answer is: because!
7.910 needs keygen v8 for v8.15 maps.

SNAP Navigation software help

Just received... my old Tom TOm 5 isn't working, IS working but can't find GPS receiver!
I am using TT 5, the same used with Wings and Excalibur, with external GPS!
Solutions? Have you tested some other navigation software?

Try Sygic McGuider or Garmin Mobile XT. Those should work .

Sygic Mcguider... the only way is to buy an (expensive) SD pre-installed version
Garmin XT, expensive "should work"? I can't buy a "should work"

Sygic doesn't wok!
Installed, looking for fix.... error, program crash

Hi , it seem copilot 7 its compatible too

Route 66, ver 8 works flawless. The fastest fix i've seen on htc phone! Even indoor...

Almost. You can use 95% of the menu's with the trackball and/or keyboard.
Only a few menu's, which usually are only used rarely to configure the device, can't be selected without FakeCursor or SPHelper.
So after setting up TomTom the daily use doesn't require any tools, just the trackball and keyboard!

exactly, what kind of version u use?

The problem i have with my snap is that i cant select another country with keyboard or trackball?
Do you use a specific key for that?
i'm using tomtom software

Confirmed, full version of McGuider 2009 is working, altough trial is not...

Hi,
I used my mobiler to get tomtom7 to work properly.
Couldn't change the country with the Snap.
With my mobiler I changed it.
Now I can use it like tomtom shoul.

For those of you that cant get Navigation software to 'find' your GPS install MSGPSID to set your port.

Sorry for the looong delay, I am using the R66 WM version. The only BUG is the GPS setting installed. I discovered, after installing TOM TOM, that the the TT signal bars aren't displayed, even in full reception.
I foud this is a well known bug related to Route 66 installation
But TT works, even without the signal bars

How to get GPS Navigation display fluently on TD2 ...

Has anyone got tips/tricks to get the navigation screen fluently with iGO8 / TomTom ???
I've got slower/older HTC phones who display navigation fluently and my TD and TD2 are updating the screen only every second (1 FPS) ...
BUT, when I start a demo of the route, it CAN display more then 1 FPS ... ???
Regards,
Phoenix007

I've got no problems with that on my TD2.
Please tell us what version TT Navigator u are using.
Do you have a lot of programs running in the background?

I only get this problem in TomTom.
If you haven't still removed the POI from showing in the map, do it:
Tap the screen
Tap “Change Preferences”
Tap “Show POI on map”
Uncheck all items
This helps a bit, but it's not perfect.
Igo8 runs fine, only with a slight position lag.

When ur using the TD2 u can't work without GpsModdriver.
With TT on de TD2 there is a GPS lag and that will be fixed by Gpsmoddriver.
Maybe that's what you mean by not "fluently".

If running a demo of a route gives me 15 Frames Per Second and using REAL GPS data gives me 1 Frame per Second then there must be something wrong in my opinion ...

Maybe ROM specific problems?
Reflash ROM if you can.

Until now this is with every rom I flashed (with hardreset afterwards ...)
Even with the most stable and simple rom's I could find ...
No smooth animation when using a real GPS signal, only when you run the Demo of the route you plan it's smoothly animated ...
No single tweak of the GPS driver gives smooth results ...
Changing poll-timing still results in 1 FPS ...
That's why you have to use GPSmodDriver to PREDICT a future coordinate to get a somewhat correct position on your map ...
The real cause of the GPS-lag is the extremly slow display driver that is used to get the map on display ...
It must be the 2D driver (ddi.dll) that is the problem, and HTC won't fix that ... the 2D driver only uses SOFTWARE to render ...
Regards,
Phoenix007
ps.:
Has someone a youtube file with SMOOTH animation in iGO8 on a TD/TD2 ???

I found out what the bug was/is ...
I was using iGO8 - v8.3.2.64873 --- this is the faulty version, refreshes GPS once per second ...
I am now using iGO8 - v8.3.4.117940 --- This version display's fluently !!!
