Have you downloaded latest satellite information using QuickGPS app. Should already be installed on your device. If not, a quick search should find it.

TOMTOM 7

Hi,
Is tomtom 7 that much better than tomtom6? I have tomtom6 on my touch dual and havnt installed gps software on my new diamond yet...is it worth the upgrade?
Yes of course it's better, you can use the newest v7 maps and you have mapshare.

TT6 does so I think its a fair bet to say TT7 does.

Thanks! I hate to be a pain but do you have a link to tomtom on the tomtom website - I cant find it on the site :s
TT7 is not available on the TT website.......
.....it is available on this website (search...) as it has been ripped from various devices. The 7 series maps are available from TT website, and these alone are worth updating from TT6 to TT7. As I understand there is only limited reverse compatability with TT6 (specific latest versions) and the 7 series maps...
Hope this helps....
Here you can get TT7.

I'm happy with tt7 except for the lag
No voices in TTN7
I installed TTN7 on my Diamond, but I cannot select a voice. TTN7 does not 'see' the voices.
Does anybody know how to solve this?

you can download voices from tomtom home or directly in your tomtom on your diamond. goto "wijzig voorkeuren --> spraak voorkeuren" and choose "download stem".
Something else... is it possible to get bigger POI icons?

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?

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.

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 sergiopi,
Which Route 66V8 do you intalled? The one for Symbian?
It is work?
Thank you,

Garmin Mobile works!
Small inconvenience: moving around the map with the trackball is slow
My mobiler
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.
Jody
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

what is your version of tomtom ?
TomTom-Home
Hey guys,
I got tomtom running, but can't get a connection to tomtom home. I've got not only my maps there (ok - can hack my own maps to get them running), but also ordered the traffic and speedcam services.
Has anyone an idea, how i can get a connection to tomtom-home? The fault can't be an incompatibility to WM 6.5. Had it on my Diamond 2 running. Has HTC built in a barrier for this feature, to help CoPilot?
Tomtom simply answered to my mail - sorry - incompatible... Great. I hope, they would set my account free to a new device, if i get a connection to tt-home.
Excuse me for my bad english - hope u'll get my point ;-)
TomTom.7.916.9189
Works for me, with 835 maps.

GPS Software

So I tried out the gps software with the dhd and none of it seemed to work, either I couldnt get a data connection (currently using a prepaid plan and have no credit) or it couldnt get a lock or the maps werent there. I was wondering if it were possible to use something like Garmin Mobile on an android platform or if anyone knows if Garmin can be ported over or if Garmin is going to make an android version of their gps software?
If your device finds GPS it is show satellite icon, make sure you already turn the GPS on.
I use igo motonav, it is very nice and perfect GPS navigation
