Hi everyone.
Please can you help me to install tomtom 7 on my HD/Blackstone. This is my first PDA/phone like this , and I am kinda struggling.
I have downloaded the Tomtom 7.910.9185, with maps of western europe 1gb.815.2024
The package I downloaded had 3 versions of tomtom7 compressed.
QVGA black, QVGA blue, VGA black.
I am now lost, I have read about cab files, sending to the root file of the storage card, but I cant figure this out.
Is there an idiots guide, (I am a total newb and Idiot) showing how to do this. Maybe one of you guys has a webpage or thread with it all easily put down.
Your help would be most appreciated please.

Does it have bigger POI icons?
Cause i've installed QVGA , it's full screen and looks nice but hte POI icons are little.
Or maybe that just tomtom 7
Hi,
I don't know if you already found how to do this but i will try to give you a simple guide:
1. copy the file VGA black.cab to your SD card root.
2. click on the file once (a .cab file can be compared to a .exe file on a pc)
3. After install, copy your map western europe 1gb.815.2024 to the root of your SD-card. Make sure that when you open the folder of the map, you should see files and not another map otherwise it won't work!
This should get you up and running tomtom 7.
POIs are small 'cause the TT version available run quite correctly on HD, but IT'S NOT the right version for HD, simply it doesn't already exists
Thanks,
Have managed to get the program to install, but no hope with the maps.. Keeps saying they aint activated..

So the problem ain't the software itself, is the map activation. You have 2 choices:
1: click here http://www.tomtom.com and have your VISA ready, or...
2: MOD EDIT....WAREZ ARE NOT ALLOWED HERE

Tomtom navigation - where to install maps
Hi all,
I'm spend a lot of time on many forums to find how to propp install Tomtom navigation (I'm using Tomtom 7).
Installing a Tomtom program is so simple but the maps thats another storry.
All informations what I'm found was telling you need to create a folder "maps" in root of the memory card and than copy all files from your PC folder of actual map there. That information is OK just if you want to use a single map.
Problem is if you want use more maps than one.Yo just simple can't coppy contens of two or more maps into the same forder.Or if you try to copy whole folders with maps into yours "maps"folder on your card the Tomtom not see that.
So what to do ???It's really simple.
1. You do not need to create the "maps" folder
2. All what you need to do is copy whole maps folders into the
" My Documents " folder on your storage card (not on" My Device " memory !!! )
Its work perfect,I'm use more than 3 maps (UK+IR, Western+Central EU, Eastern EU,...)
So maybe this info help some people whos need more maps.
Richard
I purchased the map from TOMTOM website, but when I tried to install it using tomtom home, it doesn't allow me to download

Hi stevenyu24, vidamusic et al with TT7 issues. Suggest you read through the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432410&highlight=TomTom and pay special attention to bmcconalogue post. All your problems should be solved there.
Best regards,
Just for you guys,
I have Tomtom Home 2.6 installed on my macbook and I can get MapShare working free with my TomTom navigator 7 installed on my Touch HD.
Just connect it as a Disk Device then when TomTom asks which device to use, choose the one on the Storage Card (the map is on the storage card and the app is on the internal storage)
Then, you will get free maps' correction !

Any chance of getting this to work for tomtom?
Thanks
or iGO8?^^
you must say me
1. preferred file hosting
2. full path to program, ex: "Garmin\Garmin Mobile Xt.exe"
or "StorageCard\Program Files\TomTom\TomTom.exe"
and for automapa.. ?
Can You make one for polish people too ?
1) rapidshare or megaupload (http://www.megaupload.com/)
2) "Storage Card\AutoMapa EU\AutoMapa EU.exe"
thanks You very, very much in advance!!
P.S. the link from 1st post does not work..
may be it will work for Garmin
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=335BJ0QD
automapa and other can be done in 14:00-15:00 or evening after 19:00 GMT+2
because now i not at home : )
I tryed to improove code, but it has some limitations
path must be no longer that
\Wayfinder\Wayfinder.exe
i'm trying to find another way, but....
Does not seem to work. Garmin does show up under default navigators, but it cannot be selected, it goes back to google maps.
you make Garmin.exe as alternative file name?
Garmin folder in main memory?
Yes, I just copied Garmin Navigator TX to desktop, renamed to Garmin.exe, copied back to main memory. It shows up in the default navigators screen, but when I click on it, the selection panel simply closes and GM stays a default.
hmmm
i hav NOT installed GM
so may be try to rename googlemaps.exe in xxx.exe or about
and try again...
Still no luck. I renamed GM, and it no longer shows up in the panel. However, it would still not allow me to select Garmin, just would not open anything when I click Navigation. I guess there is smth different in my X1.
so lets check
if renamed then not seen
so you have right tune up garmin.exe
i have Uninstalled Wayfinder and Googlemaps...
may be uninstalling of GM will help
and if so, you can install GM again and see what happens...

No, that's not it. Uninstalled GM and Wayfinder, softreset, still does not work.
very suspictious....
may be any one also try to test
and then i could compare
ok mate let's do it together. but I am a noob ;(
if that is not a problem for You we can try with automapa. what do I need to do/prepare?

Tomtom have released a new version of there software specifically for the TP2.
Version is 916.9189. Have installed but not tested yet. All traffic is working on this version unlike the previous release.
can only be installed on TP2 and maps of course still need to be purchased. They are including this with new purchases of the phone now.
If someone can confirm if ok to post the link ?
Thanks
ok link is below, if not ok please remove the link
Here
edit from Sleuth
The app itself isn't warez since it encourages you to load up a free local map then buy commercial maps if you like it. Keygens for the maps are warez and not permitted.
With this in mind, I took the liberty of modifying the cab in your link. First, I removed all the BT drivers simply to make the cab smaller. While your original cab does have the BT drivers, the install script only loads them if they aren't already there so no overwriting occurs.
More importantly, the modified cab includes a version of 916.9189 that lights up the contact navigate button. I've placed a link to this modified cab on this post
TomTom is a great navigator. If you enjoy playing with the free map, go out and purchase legal maps from TomTom. The more WM platform purchases TomTom gets, the more they will be incented to continue to support and improve this excellent product.
could you post a link to download?
thank you
ok link is below, if not ok please remove the link.

Will this version screw with the BT stack? Also, if you already have maps, will it request you to register maps again?
A further question: any help with the lag issue that many (inc. me!) are struggling with?
I doubt it - but had to ask!

I have already upgrade, and did not have any issues. Everything works great on my TP2, no slowdowns for me.
Does Tom Tom say the street names?
Thanx. Appears to work well. I'll test it tomorrow.
How about the TMC function ????
Total Noobie question here!
I currently run version 7.450, I have downloaded the new version, but what do I do with it, if I run it, it works, but I have to run it from file manager, as opposed to the program icon, how do I install it correctly?

Goto file explorer, copy the tomtom file, then goto my device/windows/start menu/programs folder. then hit the menu to "copy shortcut" in this folder. You will now see an icon in the programs folder for this version of tomtom.
If you already have tomtom installed you may want to uninstall it first or just delete the shortcut(s) from the programs folder so you know which one you're using.
Works for me. Would like to know what the changes are.

Thanks Now working ok
The main improvement is that now the keyboard works fine on the TP2 with TT7
right i tested this on the way to work this morning, for me the lag is still there so no improvment. the traffic does now work which is one thing but still a definate lag compared to my tytnII which was spot on. This is with the new rom from HTC on it as well the one with copilot preinstalled.
sdcard is a class 4 so dont think it is down to that either, shame as i really thought they would sort the lag out.
anyone else?
I get a not enough memory error when trying to install this. What am I doing wrong? Stock TMo US.

No problem with Bluetooth. I already had a previous version of TomTom installed. Just unzipped the .zip file into program files\navigator and it worked.
You don't have to reregister maps.
I was asked to join MyMaps or something like that. In which you can manually edit maps to keep 'm up to date. Also you can subscribe and download eachothers updates.

I was trying to install it now, but I first unnistaled the old version that I had I now I can't install this one.... probably I have to re-install the old version right?
Edit: It worked... I think. But now saiys that I've to activate the maps again.... let's see.
i have iGo 8 on WinMo and it works fine but when i install it on Android i get a "Please insert your SD card containing iGo 8 content files." is this because the path to the SD card is "/mnt/sdcard/..."? Is there a fix for this yet? or Do we have to wait till NAND? Thanks for all your help
Maybe because igo8 was designed for windows mobile and not android duh. Try igo motonav or igo my way. Dont ask me where to get them. I just know those are made for android. You can just transfer you maps, poi, etc over to the new one.
The problem with iGO for Android is that it is ONLY for HVGA screens yet! no WVGA support for now! The only workaround is to use Motonav which is a redesined iGO for the Motorola phones and WVGA res!
maybe you have license issue with the iGo
only Motonav support WVGA
iGO8 work me, you must have iGO8 folder on the SD card, but it has no 800x600 screen support, so you will see only small screen. Like someone wrote already, MotoNav works great but has very simple UI without special function.
You need to rename the folder "iGo My Way" to
"iGo".
It will work afterwards, though only 1/4 of the screen will be captured, because there are not 800x480 images out there. When I'm driving car, I use WinMob
The best from both WinMob and Android! Hahaha

wat is iGo 8 *??
The problem with that message is that the phone is with plugged in data cable in Mass Storage mode. Either remove the (data) cable from phone or set to other mode (Charge only).
P.S. So many answers on the net and not even 1 (one !!!) helpfull (what a bore ...). I got this problem yesterday and luckily found the solution. Of course, there's always a chance to get this message, if you are using not paid and not cracked version of the problem.
There is a version of iGo My Way for Android which has a 800*480 resolution actually.
I already replied on a thread about the same thing : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9011640#post9011640
Hope this helps.

dont worry. i solved the problem .. basicly you cannot use same igo for WM and android. there has to be igo8 (with all its subfolders) for WM, and separate igo (with same subfolders) for droid .. yes, you have to double everything (maps and buildings that takes up most space) but .. if you use 2 systems on one phone, be ready for double stuff on card too
thank you anyway for responding

You do not need 2 copy's.... let me explain:
Igor for windows has some files in different format e.g. zip.
Ally have to do is copy allthe files that ARE different from android to the same locations as the original. Do not delete existing from either install. Map is shared, poi is shared...
Coals, it all works in both.

hmmm, not sure how can i use shared folder, as android needs folder called igo, and WM needs folder called igo8. with all subfolders needed in those.
so not really see how can .. for example /content/maps be shared in
/storage card/igo & /storage card/igo8
but never mind, as i said .. MY problem is solved and i have working igo.

Hi,
I followed your instruction from moving the windows IGO8 folder to the root of the sd card and renamed it as IGO (/mnt/sdcard/igo). When I launch IGO (installed IGOMyWay 8.4.2........apk), I have an error message: Missing or incomplete folder: IGO/content/lang
I have checked that the folder IGO/content/lang exists and I have two zip files in the "lang" folder. What did I miss?

you are welcome my friend
There is iGo for 320x240, 320x480 and 800x480. Now once you got the right apk for you screen size you still need maps. Here is the link where you can find the LINKS DELETED LINKING TO PAID APPS / WAREZ
Maybe its quite a silly question, but how do you actually install CoPilot? I copied the folders 2577 and copiloy on my sdcard, and when i tap on autorun.exe, i am getting like a popup "Complete Action Using", and i can select an application. Should i have someting installed to run this exe?
Thanks for your help
errmm you buy it, and it installs on your phone, then when you open up co pilot it will start downloading all the files, no one on here will tell you how to illegally install it on your phone.
HAH. gl getting a WINDOWS (exe) application to run on your android phone.
I did buy it, and got to download 2 folders, 2577 and copilot, but it did not install automatically. So it said to tap on autorun but did not open. Guys I need help so serious replies please. It is a legal copy, I also have the order number
If you got a legal copy you must do following steps:
- copy the folder copilot to the root of your SD Card (2577 is only for windows mobile phones!)
- go to http://www.copilotlive.com/androidinstall with your android smartphone and download+install the latest copilot.apk
- start the now installed copilot (it will extract a few things)
- register your copy
- have fun with it !
Regards
Mike
Thanks Mike
That's the kind of reply i was looking for
Will do what you said and see what happens
Thanks
You will have to excuse most peoples reactions.
Cop-Pilot is probably the most Warez'd application on android, and usually its the people with trouble installing that have the illegal copies.
Yeah but I still think that anyone can judge just on a simple question. I am new to all this, I come from a windows background, and I pretty well knew that .exe cannot run on Android. However the instructions I was seeing on the CoPilot site said specifically to tap on the autorun file. It did not say that its windows only. Anyways I downloaded the apk from their site and everything is working brilliantly now. My opinion to all this is, if you have no advice or help to offer, then why even bother to waist people's time?
