TomTom 7
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?

Let us know if anyone has tried Destinator 7, GPS software and works okay ?

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.

Getting TomTom to work

I tried installed 3 different versions of TomTom 6.01 & 6.03 (I'm licensed) v7.XX (out of desperation I wanted to see if I could get any version running)
Version 6 gives memory access violation.
I sometimes get the TomTom opening in triple tiny view at the top of the screen.
I can't install v7 it says this version is not suitable for this device.
I've spent hours on this and I just can't get it to work. Has anyone else been experiencing this? Can anyone that managed to get TomTom working, tell me how?
Many thanks,

Hi,
Many thanks for trying to help but I've already seen this post and unfortunately it doesn't help. I tried to install the same version 7 but it says something like device not compatible and the earliest version of 6 that I have been able to find was 6.01.
I've spent many hours on the this problem, I've already searched here and all over the web. It looks to me like only a few people have been lucky to get it working.
If I don't get Tomtom working soon then I'll be sending the Touch HD back. I would appreciate any suggestions. I don't know if it's possibly an issue about missing dlls.
Thanks,

ok thats strange, but i cant help you anymore because i dont have any Touch HD.
But i hope for you that someone will help you.

7.4 should be working ...

The problem is that Tom Tom6 maps won't work on Tom Tom7. If you have a world wide collection of maps like me, it's going to cost a fortune to buy all new maps.
Has anyone figured out a way to get Tom Tom 6.03 working on the HD? Surely it is a matter of tweaking??
Edit: It's not a matter of Tweaking. I found a 7.450.9028 cab in my archives from another one of my devices. I was surprised to find that this version WILL work with TomTom 6.75 maps but not lower. Fortunately all of my maps were 6.75 so I'm good to go The only thing/problem is the text and keyboard are small.

I've managed to find an old cab file for 6.00 and it worked straight away! It has all my previous maps and POI from the memory card working fine. I can live with using 6.00 instead of 6.30 so long as it's stable/reliable.
Cheers,

Hi Matterhorn!
I hope to be trying this later today. What steps did you take to try to install Tom Tom 6.03 ? I have this from my TyTn II CD and updated my maps a few months ago.
I have Tom Tom home installed on my PC and was hoping to get Tom Tom home to see the Touch HD as a new device and install to it.
I will post here what I find happens with my attempts.

I still don't know if I'll get my version of Tom Tom 6.03 to work since my HD doesn't arrive until Monday. I don't know where to find the 6.00 version.

If you get stuck send me a pm...

TOMTOM 7
I own realy a Touch Hd. For 3 days now.I've installed Tomtom 7,450 VGA.
It works perfectly and with Gsen even horizontal.
I also didn't notice any GPS lag. So what are those people talkinh about.
I suspect that I the only have an HD in their imagination.

I have version 6.010 and i installed it, i hoped for a working install but it doesn't work at all, boot logo from tomtom is showing after that it's crashing like hell, so i founded somewhere a 6.000 CAB file and that's running perfectly on the Touch HD. very strange to me , normaly should newer version have more compatibility solutions.

TomTom 7.450 works on HD
try to find ttn7 with 12.063 MByte. This version works very fine and I'm surpriced about the GPS speed.

Is there any difference is speed when using 2D or 3D maps ? I read somewhere on this forum that someone experienced better speeds ( no lag ) using 2D maps ?!?!
I use Destinator 7 and I am looking to buy HD within a month. I am wondering if anyone can share their experience using Destinator 7 on this device.
Cheers.

A few people are saying that ttn7 works fine for them. It didn't work for me but maybe I just got a duff cab/version. But as licensed (v6) user with lots of maps and a traffic subscription (the subscription would probably be ok but maps definitely not) I prefer to stick with version 6 for now. Tomtom looks great on the big screen and is quick smooth and reliable so I'm happy. Done some short runs with gsen and all seems good there too.

TomTom 7.910

Hi all
Had a search around and couldn't find nothing relevant.
Has anyone managed to get tomtom 7.910 to install on the x1. I have read that it is suppose to run on wm6.1 devices but when im trying to install on my x1 it says device not supported.
I had tomtom 7.450 installed and this worked perfect.
Cheers

Works perfectly on my X1! Try to search a bit harder though....

is it much better than tomtom 7.450?

Hey
If u can point me to the right place i will be happy to read but i searched for like an hour. i found the post with the cab in it but couldnt find nothing about my problem.

Works perfectly for me too with 8.15 maps. Although I have to admit that I didn't read a single word anywhere as someone was kind enough to install it for me.

I found that Tomtom 7.9.. is better suited for the Xperia X1.
I tried the 7.4 and because of the higher resolution the letters were too small, but in the version everything is optimized so it seems.

Keyboard too small in Tomtom

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.

Dammit. Which Offline-Navigation solution is working properly under Android?

I'm desperate. Using Coredroid 1.6 NAND and cant find even one Navigation-software which is working properly.
My tries:
Sygic Aura: Woking good, but closes itself suddenly and without proper reason.
Navigon 2.6.1: Works great for a few minutes, but suddenly Android makes a hot restart (swaps to android bootscreen) and I find navigon in the main menu. not very comfortable if you are driving in a car and need to set up the destination every 5 minutes
Igo: Works, but the voice is stuttering. Its like .. "Turn...[break]..left in 100 [break] meters. Changing the voice had no effect.
Tried to wipe everything with clockwork and reinstalled again freshly: same problems.
Did any of you guys and girls experience the same problems and have any clue on how to fix on of that issues? I need at least one fully working gps-offline-solution and the 3 above are my favourites. I dont know if its a build- or kernel problem or anything.. the gps fixes fast with each of the softwares.
I tried to search, but people are issuing other gps problems like gps is working incorrectly or does not even fix, but thats not the problem I experience.
So please, share your experiences and oppinions or show me topics that could help.

iGo works good for me. Voice doesn't stutter.

Would like to know which igo you guys are using (with version number) and isnt here anyone which is using coredroid too?

thats the one I used and the sound was horrible =( Maybe its a rom-related problem, but then I'm wondering that no one else is experiencing this problems..

Maverick's not horrible
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

CoPilot Definitely! Great app and navigation is spot on!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alk.copilot.marketplace.eu.full&feature=search_result
MOD EDIT: Just making sure noone is tempted to follow up on the statement you posted

I have tried alot of Navigation apps for Android on the HD2 and IMHO Copilot is the best visually and has never had any problems. Sygic looks really nice (similar to TomTom) but the position keeps jumping which is very anoying as I really liked it.
Mark.

Navigon 3.5.4
Using latest Navigon 3.5.4<-- i think, on the Coredroid series with no problems. Best IMHO.

I've switched over to typhoon rom..Igo is still stuttering! Using radio version 2.15 and the very same version as you. Maybe its SD-card related, so I will try to switch it.
@mskip: installed copilot. Need to test it, but looks okay.

I'm currently using Copilot, but I've been wondering, if I should change to Sygic Aura, because it looks so great. Does the Sygic Aura have speed camera warnings?

Yes it does and it does look the best of the bunch but it stuttered all the time while I was driving its like its constantly trying to catch up with it position and when you stop it goes crazy lol. May just be the Rom im using it with so give it a go and let us know if the movement is smooth.

Yes it does, but a couple of warnings.
-Routing just plainly ... (fill out the 5 letters).
-None existant support
-no time to arrival display in portrait mode (small bug according to them 'should be fixed in a couple of weeks, that was 4 months ago and a version back)
-old maps and speedcams that don't update
-jumps position when standing still (even with a external BT device that is spot on)
I am now using iGO with a skin and to be honest I love it.
As an old iGO man I was surprised to see a 2002 gps software look in Android comming from the skinned iGO in Winmo which is still far superb in many ways.
There are 2 skins you can find for iGO in Android which make it a bit more 'old school' like.
There is the motogis skin which I do not like since you only get speedcam warnings when travelling to fast and the you have the 12carrera12_Sbertaud13 which works perfect for me.

So iGo is better than Sygic Aura? Is there any benefits having iGo over Copilot? I'm liking the Copilot, but it doesn't seem to get map or speedcam updates very often. Is there same problems with iGo?

I have tried Copilot for 1 day and there where a couple of things that bothered me. I believe it was not seeing the speed I drove or not showing the max speed on a road. Can be that I am wrong in this but I think it was that.
In iGO there are many sources to create your speedcam files from so I would concider that to be opensource like.
The latest maps I believe are from mid 2010 so still pretty ok to me.
But we are hijacking someones thread here!
Mideel any way to record this and to put it on youtube so we can have a look at it?

Im also running coredroid 1.6 and have no problems with the stock navigation. I installed Dark Angels GPS fix and get a quick GPS lock. Been working flawless in my opinion.

Its okay, since I'm interested in other oppinions about the variety of navigation-systems for android.
no need to to record it, just imagine you are watching a youtube-video and it is buffering all the time, so the clip doesnt run smoothly. thats how it sounds when the igo-voice is speaking. Just like I said, its stuttering.
But no one seems to have the same problem, so I suppose its hardware-related (SD-card or something)
Tested Copilot, its working, but Igo was always the better solution for me, since winmo 6.5 times.

Thanks, but maybe you missed the topic. Stock-Navigation means Google Maps, right? Well, its not offline. And GPS Fix is fine and fast for me without any fixes or modifcations
