Hi guys,
I'm living in Vietnam, where TOMTOM doesn't work (no maps). Could you please tell me how to replace TOMTOM by another software as the default navigation service? For example, in Asia, MapKing should be useful more than TOMTOM. Thanks so much!
for me
i want to change that to garmin
celice: It isn't possible for Garmin, look here to find why http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530034
torrentonly thank you very sir ^-^
A little update for this. It actually is possible to use another navigation software, but some important steps must be made.
1) Navigation software must support command line options or have proper SDK (like TomTom or Garmin Mobile XT)
2) navipanel.exe and naviservice.dll must be debugged to find, how is MiddleLayerDLL handled
3) Code a new library, which will handle new navigation software via navipanel
I found some examples with Garmin SDK for visual studio. It looks quite simple and straightforward, but it has one big flaw. Garmin Mobile XT must be running to pass command to it.
Just a note. At this moment, there is no possibility to run other navigation software with NaviPanel.
garmin mobile xt
Garmin Mobile XT works fine for me
In the spanish version, the GPS software by default is CoPilot 7, Can you try it? But i think that there is no maps of there.
Regards!
Hi all.
Small guide for changing the "Navigator" Hardware-key:
1. Delete from folder with current navigator folder all files.
2. Install into this directory new GPS navigator application (or move all files into this folder)
3. Rename *.exe file on previuos exe name
I'm from Russia. I changed Navitel Navigator on GisRussa
You have to do this
HKLM\Software\HTC\NaviSW\
find this key MiddleLayerDLL that have a value NaviSWMiddle_CoPilot.dll
Change it in NaviSWMiddle_TomTom.dll
It works for garmin, too.
You have to substitute garmin to tomtom in the word
Make a soft reset and after garmin will be your default navi for all the applications (footprint, navipanel)
If you cannot find this key, you can create it, I just make it and works perfectly...

Ok - got TomTom on my XDA mini s.
Now - maps.
Added maps as stated here:-
http://www.beyondthetech.com/blogs/kjam/2005/10/surefire-method-of-installing-tomtom.html
do I just add another line to the Current Map file to point to another map directory?
And does then TomTom auto add the maps, if not - how do I choose a different map.
and finally - voices. Can I store these on SD card and if so - where do I amke any config changes
Thanks
Scott
OK, so just how did you get TomTom on there? Did you have to use Activesync? If so, what happens when the thing goes T.U. and you don't have the software on your memory card ? :?:
Used the 5.21 upgrade as that installed via the pc through active sync as not supports WM05, and then followed instructions on the screen. Then patched it.
Used the link above to setup the bluetooth gps and get the map directory setup, and it just seemed to work. I have a BT GPS - BT-77 model.
No issues so far.
Just sussed the voices, there has a to be a voice folder in the root.
Now - just want to know how to add more maps, and how I alter the CurrentMap file

Hi !
I installed the GPS-enabled ROM from the HTC Homepage - and TomTom 6 for Pocket PC - not the Trial Version from the HTC Homepage.
but when configuring the GPS receiver - I can not find any build-in device..
It`s only "other GPS receiver", Bluetooth-GPS receiver and so on.
could you please help me ???
thx
hans
Read other threads...
There are a lot of threads about GPS and TomTom
go to the TomTom site and look for the PocketPC upgrade that is specific to the HTC devices. it will upgrade TomTom so you can select the internal GPS receiver. for now, you can also use the "Other NMEA" device.
maps ?
Hi !
thanks !
I installed my TomTom6 Version - and downloaded the Plugin for the HTC device.
But I had to install this TomTomHome Software in order to install this plugin.
but when I want to configure TomTom it tells me that I could download
one map for free..
BUT I want to use my existing "Western Europe" maps.
I copied them to "My Documents" - but it doesn`t recognise it...
Could you please tell me how I could re-use me TomTom6 maps.
thx
hans
Put the map folder back in the memory card root
I recently added the Navipanel to the start menu and found that it launches Telenav instead of Garmin. I found some threads using search regarding editing the navipanel but nothing worked for Garmin. That being said these are the settings that i used to get it to launch through NaviPanel.
I have Garmin installed on the SD card and went into my device using file explorer. I then copied the Garmin folder to the Program files folder.
following that i did the following in total commander:
open HKCU>Software>TeleNav
I clicked on AppPath and edited the contents to:
\Program Files\Garmin\Garmin Mobile XT.exe
I then did a soft reset.
This is what happens when using NaviPanel tabs now
Go Home: Asks to enter home address(i did so in Garmin but it still stays the same)
Enter Home Address: opens Garmin
Recent: opens Garmin
Footprints: Opens footprints app (i have no footprints set up, will test)
Navigation: opens Garmin app, i have to double press sometimes
Besides that I only experienced a delay when checking to see if the Telenav app still opens in the Programs section.
*****I am a noob and usually just follow the instructions on this site to mod my windows phones. That being said i got lucky playing with the registry settings and take no responsibility if the above is followed*****
can you tell me how you added the navipanel to the start screen?
Sorry for not being any assistance on your problem.
i used file explorer my device windows folder scroll down to navipanel should be a 249k file hold down until uget an option to copy then scroll up to the start menu folder go in there then select the programs folder then menu, edit, paste once u go back to the start menu it should be there pm me if u need assistance cuz i typed this on my hd2
Bump
Just wanted to see if anyone has tried this and gotten further than me.
Thanks for the tip, works great.
I didn't move Garmin to program files, I just left it on the SD card. I guess the only issue there is to fix is the home button, but no big deal since it launches Garmin anyways. BTW, footprints works fine.
Cool, did the same with mine. Only thing is it doesn't exactly do the FUNCTION that the buttons are suppose to do. I guess anyone that knows a little more about programming might be able to get it. There has to be a more direct path to SEARCH instead of just opening the gps programs main exe.

One more, easier, workarround if you want to open Garmin XT from NaviPanel.
I had CoPilot (on HD2). Install Garmin (I did it on Storage Card).
Then:
1. Find Garmin XT.exe in Program files (on device)
2. Copy it to any TEMP folder on your device.
3. Rename it to copilot.exe
4. Copy it to device\program files\copilot and replace original one (make a copy of original, just in case)
Thats all
All mentioned circumstances will be the same:
"This is what happens when using NaviPanel tabs now
Go Home: Opens Garmin
Recent: opens Garmin
Footprints: Opens footprints app
Navigation: opens Garmin app"

Thanks for the tip, not ideal but better than nothing
navipanel lniking to garmin
Hi Cozhyn,
I tried ur method and its works perfect except 2 glitches.
when you open foot prints or phone they open fine but when u click the back button after opening it the navipanel freezes and gets kind of screwed.I have to soft rest it to get it to normal.
It absolutely runs garmin.
Please let me know if you have any solution for this problem.
thanks
Suri
Hi all, where can I download this file for my HTC HD2
Navipanel ?
thanks a lot
Juan
The problem I have is that I do have Navipanel installed but no Copilot.
I installed Garmin on SD but don't know how to link it to Navipanel.
Navipanel has only phone link activated.
I tried to creat a Copilot folder but nothing happens.

You don't have to use Total Commander (PHM or other regeditors should work), but if you want to use TC you need to navigate to the root directory (hit the "\" in the top right), then look in the "\\plugins" folder, then in "registry"...from there you'll see "HKCU" (shorthand for "HKEY_CURRENT_USER")
Thanks, I have no copoilt, will try to add garmin
Thanx for the clarification.
I can now use TC to To get into HKCU Thank you But i still cant find Tele Nav under software
I do have it installed ANY HELP?
AutoRotate Garmin Mobile XT
Why use NaviPanel at all, Go to the link below.
I posted Garmin Mobile XT Auto Rotate, Besides, Navipanel is useless. Pointless to have two programs open.

Hi,
does anyone knows a good gps program, that doesnt need to connect to the enternet ?
i forgot to mention its windows mobile 6.5.
thanks
ohad
I use
Garmin
Ozi
Gps Tuner
There is a program that with it, you can easily download maps and satellite view from Google and use it in garmin....
I use Garmin when I want to go to a place and need navigation help while I am driving...but for other uses I use OZI because I downloaded all of maps I need from google...
Good luck!
I know this is not the real key forum for Navis but I thought I give it a try as my prob could be related with the OS.
And I know this device is not in the compatibility list for TomTom Navigator 7 but usually the TT Navi7 works on Win 5 and Win 6 devices.
I have:
- an HP ipaq (model hw6915) with
- Windows Mobile WM 5 (searched this forum for a Win 6 ROM and it looks like some smart guys are currently working on that so I could not yet give it a try with Win 6)
According to the ipaq user manual, the device has this GPS receiver installed:
- GL20000 from Global Locate. In case a manual setting is required for a software, the ipaq manual mentions to set it to COM 7 and a BAUD rate of 57600.
Here is my problem:
I had installed Navigator 6 and it worked fine – but with outdated maps as the new maps require Navigator 7. So after some years of using the old Navigator 6 I installed now the TomTom Navigator 7.917.9186 plus the recent Europe 2GB maps.
The new Navigator 7software starts fine and accepts the new map, but it does not recognize the internal GPS antenna. I receive the message “no GPS devide”. Then I tried a bit and switched (in TomTom Navigator settings) from the “internal” to “other NMEA GPS receiver” and tried different Baud rates. With this setting the Navigator does receive GPS signal – once in a while (1 signal about every minute – just enough to locate the current position but not enough to really navigate).
So obviously the Navigator 7.x does not get correct GPS signals from the built-in antenna (while the older Navigator 6 always did).
Oh and I tried a free utility called GPS Proxy, which copies GPS signals from the inernal antenna to another (virtual) COM port, and I configured TT Navigator 7 to read out from that virtual COM port the GPS proxy is sending its data to. No success.
Any idea how to solve that problem?
Once again, I know this is not the right forum for Navigation software but I thought I give it a try....
sometimes ago on my hw6915 i used the 7.910 version without problems.
try to use this version.
regards,
Sold
Thanks Soldato. Tried the the 7.910 version again but same result - except that in addition to the problem the phone´s speaker gets de-activated. Somehow this speaker problem can be overcome by deleting/replacing a certain file in the Windows folder (I had tried the 7.910 version already half a year ago and I found out how to switch on the speaker but forgot what I did....)
Hmm. Also no loader or converter etc. seems to exist that would allow using the newer TT maps with the older (but working) Navigator 6 software.
Looks like I will keep my ipaq hw6915 in the box for a while till a GPS-supporting WM 6 version can be found.
i can try!!
can u send your tomtom soft, n charts, i have hw6915
i'll try them up for ya n give you a hint!!

Sure I will mail it, but its nothing fancy. You can find the corresponding TomTom Navigator software everywhere on the web.
Does TT 7 work on your hw 6915?

yes it works but you have to delete btcoreif.dll before starting tt7 and do a soft reset

Ähm sorry if I might look stupid, but how can I delete a single dll file from the Windows folder? I tried in Active Sync and directly from the ipaq file explorer but can neither replace nor rename nor delete it. And was also not able to change the file parameters.
using file explorer tap on 'show all files' to see the dll or try "total commander" file manager (needed for wm2003se)
