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 ...

Where can I find 7.4? I have 6

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.

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 v7.910.9185 or TomTom 7.450 which is better?

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

Newest TT7 Navigator cab

Anyone know if the TTN7.910.9185.cab will work on out Titans? I'm a little leery about installing it as I've got the prior version working well and don't want to bork anything by trying the install.
Grabbed the file from here:
http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=13032
Remember, this file is legit as provided in ROM with the TP but posting / talking about maps or voices is warez so isn't kosher!
Thanks in advance if anyone is willing to give it a go!

This version is made for another device and tells you so when trying to install on a Mogul. prior tt7 install otherwise intact.

Thanks for trying... Oh well. I wanted to upgrade my maps by BUYING (not cracking) the newest ones but on some other forums they mentioned a problem with the build I'm using (using 7.450 (9029) build with 720.1803 USA and Canada maps) not allowing the latest maps to be used.
If anyone knows for sure how to purchase the latest maps for this build (like what TomTom Home to use and what maps to purchace) I'd greatly appreciate it.

maps to buy

here is the link you need to buy the maps to run on this tt7 cab
ps....that cab is for the touch diamond.
http://www.tomtom.com/products/maps/select.php?D=1038&Language=1&P=5703

Thanks as well Liamhere. Unfortunately I need the USA and Canada maps and the link only give UK / Europe / Asia maps.
I have TT Home 1.5 installed and it does give me an option of purchasing the latest maps for the USA. I'm a bit afraid of committing the $70 on purchasing the map as one or two threads talk about needing to upgrade to the latest TT home (2.5 I think) as when I install that version, it doesn't find my Titan.
Does anyone know if the 1.5 version of TT Home will install the latest USA and Canada maps to the Titan if I purchase them?

works for me
7.910 runs fine on my mogul - am using the USA_CANADA 815.2022 map with it.
I know it was developed for the Diamond so my cab version may have been modified to work on non-Diamond. I don't use TTS but the voice does prompt me at turns.

...so where can we find the latest TTN7 cab for Titan?

Great news, Muledeer, can you post a link to the 7.910 cab and if not point us to where you got it? Oh, Happy New Year!

I own the older TT5 maps. Anyone know if the newer interface works with those old maps?

From what I understand, no. Only Navigator 7 and 8 maps will work with the Diamond cab for the mogul.

Update: Found the cab (google is your friend), installed, ran fine, but TomTom Home 2.5 still can't see my XV6800 meaning I can't legally buy new maps. I even tried TT Home 1.5 and while it could see my poi's it couldn't see my maps or my device (but it did tell me I had a Titan attached, how odd). So......
Unless someone knows how to get TomTom Home 2.5 to see our Moguls, this is a fools errand if you want to stay legal.
/rant
If TomTom wants to stop rampant piracy, they should release Navigator 7/8 for PPC w/o crippling TT Home by locking out all but a few HTC devices!
Oh, please don't ask where I got the cab or files as it will break the TOS of this forum and ultimate goal was to stay legal!

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.
