I've just installed TomTom 6 on my Leo and I'm getting the same 'squashed screen' problem that I had on my Blackstone.
I could get round the problem on the Blackstone by running WVGAFix3 by Cotulla, but this doesn't seem to work on my Leo. I select the resolution I want but then nothing happens.
I've tried searching Leo forums for "WVGAFix" but got no hits
Is there an equivalent of WVGAFix for the Leo?
just install the VGA version of tomtom 7!
Thanks, I've already found a few posts that say that TT7 VGA works, but
I'm having trouble finding the cab for that. I've found a couple of posts with links to rapidshare but the file is no longer available there.
Also would I have to buy new maps to go with TT7?
And does TT7 work with TomTom Home 1.5 - the latest version of Home didn't find my Leo so I reinstalled v1.5 and that seems to be OK
Thanks again
looking for this too, wanna play my older games
Also looking for this. I cannot run Pocket UFO and some games on the HD2 due to WVGA.
I would love it for Palm heroes... stupid vga only.
Well I use tomtom 7 for qvga and it works good.
However saying that yes it looks squashed when vertical but I use it mostly horizontal where it actually looks great.
TomTom could move their ass and do a wvga version, that would be great.

I had the first TF3D cab installed on 10/31 on my Xperia till 3 days ago. i then did a hard reset and installed the new cab posted by itje.
the differences are quite remarkable: at least 50% faster than the first one, much more stable and dose'nt slow down after a while, all panels are working including audio, albums and youtube.
the only thing that i noticed, still no support to certain bluetooth functions, also your bluetooth connection drops if you had the WiFi on bug.
it integrates nicely with my BMW 650 I-Drive and i get all my phone book " more than 300 contacts" up in less than one minute.
I also noted that installing Dashwire slows the Xperia greatly.
and finally installing the above cab did not mess window media player and i can still see my videos.
All the Best !
Did you use the panel install for either one of those? Im asking because I dont know if itje cab is compatible with the panel install, the first one by daran works great with the panel installed.
I used the Panel install on both cabs.

I did the same thing. First the TF3D of Daran. Then a hard reset. Then Manilla HD from itje. Installs fine and is quite responsive.
However: Album is really not working. Nor does YouTube.
This was done on a Dutch VF machine.
Really hope for improvements in the future.

Thanks for clearing this!
What about the language? I got a german X1, will this mess up my whole device?
interesting. It looks like the standalone youtube cab and the manila cab (that packs youtube as well) are different then. I installed the standalone youtube cab and it screw up the video playback.

heyyy after installing the cab....im unable to see this manilla hd thingy......after goin to settings>today>items i cant see any hd plugin either....wat could possibly be wrong???
im using the default WM panel..
Well, there's a beta 2 for Daran's cab and beta 3 will supposedly be out next week, whereas for itje's there hasn't been any new updates. Since your installation of Daran's cab was on 10/31, could it be that you're using beta 1? The results of your comparison might be different if you did a comparison using beta 3.

Hi
Having tried TomTom 7, Copilot and the "try before buy" Navigon; I found all to be wanting in some way. I have not tried: Garmin XT is fixed to a SD card - I don't want to swop cards; IGO 8 looks good but seems to require lots of fixes.
Is there a GPS application (not google or similar online app) that just works from the box or cab ?
I like the google app but I don't like the high data rates which could get expensive when I'm roaming.
I just want a GPS app that has its own maps on my SD card (16 gbyte card so loads of space available). Does this really exist ?
When I check the official GPS provider sites (e.g., TomTom and Copilot) then they say their product is not compatible with the HTC HD - I guess that explains all the various hoops people have to jump through to get an app working.
I suspect I have to wait until spring next year for the app companies to provide a working HD compatible version ? Or, does anyone know better ??
Thanks & holiday greetings to all, Dave.
You can't compare Google Maps with a navigation solution like TomTom, IGo or Navigon. Google Maps is just showing the area around your current position, whereas the other programs can navigate you through the country.
As far as I know TomTom works just without any work, all others need to be configurated. How to do that is mentioned in the various threads here, so it shouldn't be a problem at all.

Come again? I've been using Google Maps for over a year to navigate me around Brisbane. (No that's not the country but I'm sure it's capable of that.)
Well I can use google to navigate as it has a "show directions" option. I know it is not as sophisticated as the other GPS apps.
My problem with google is it needs a data link which gets expensive when I'm out of my home country (hence need often a GPS) because I have to make a gprs link to have google working.
TomTom does not work on the HD - Version 6 fails to work. Version 7 works fine but there seems to be no way to legally load maps except the single trial map of one city.
Thanks anyway for answering.

I never heard Google Maps talking to me something like "in 400 metres turn left". Maybe I missed something .

Here is a new app - anyone use this successfully on the HD ?

Does CoPilot work on the HD?
I've got Version 6 currently on my XDA Orbit & was thinking of upgrading
Garmin Mobile XT works great on my HD
Cheesy Dave / Gulioth - I have used CoPliot v7 from day 1 on my Touch HD without any problems. Transferring it from my Touch Cruise took 5 minutes over the air, deactivating and reactivating (something you cannot do with TTN6).
It looks really good on the HD screen and is very easy to navigate through the menus (no pun intended). I am currently using v7.7.0.134 and ALK are bringing an even friendlier version out for the Touch HD shortly. I have used this, TTN6, TTN7 and Telmap Navigator in the recent past and various others going back to routeplanner on a Psion series 5.
Whichever gps software you use, it will always be "short" in some way or other. As far as the HTC Touch is concerned, CoPliot is by far the easeist overall to install, register and use with a touch screen & the maps are fairly up to date. I can also import my own POIs and safety cameras from TTN.
I also gave Garmin XT a try.
One problem though, up until now, i am feeling that there is Lag or the cpu is not following up too fast to show changes, so if i am making a turn in a roundabout, you can see a strange thing happen on the screen.

Thanks davast. I actually got a copy of CoPilot which was sold to me as CoPilot7 for windows mobile. It turned out to be the specific version for the HTC Diamond.
I think I will wait for the new version and double check this time that the supplier knows what they are doing.
Regards, D.
What's latest CoPilot version? Is it v7? Does anyone know if the next one is imminent?
I own v6 for my XDA Orbit 1 and will probably upgrade rather than purchase new version as think it works out cheaper.
Upgrade = £48.93
Dealer = £59.95
I'm going to try a new one when I get a minute, beta atm but works on my hacked Hermes to wm6.1 and is nice

Hi Gulioth, I received version 7 "for the HTC Diamond" which will only load to the internal storage of the Diamond - hence, I returned it as this would not work on the HD.
I don't know the specific current version other than "7". If you have CoPilot Central then you should be able to find it. Unfortunately with the Diamond version there also is no copy of the CoPilot Central.
I have returned the Diamond version and I'm sitting waiting for someone (PLEASE !!) to make a legally correct version work.
If you check here: http://www.alk.eu.com/copilot/compatibility.asp you can see that ALK says the HD is not yet compatible.
I've been using OCN8 (on course navigation) on my HD for a month. It's beautiful and has TTS for enhanced street naming in turn-by-turn directilns. The only problem, out of the box, is it only runs in portrait mode, but it does it beautifully in all the HD high res glory.
There's a thread in the Blackstone section with workarounds for running landscape.
Thanks - that's a new one to me - I will investigate "on course navigation"
Ciao, Dave

Hmmm - this seems to be only USA & Canada according to their site:
Map Coverage USA and Canada.
The latest maps and up-to-date points of interest for United States. Full road coverage with over 10 443 000 kilometers of updated roads, and over 12.3 millions points of interest. Includes maps of Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico.
http://www.oncoursenavigator.com/ocn8_intro.aspx
I did not specify in my original question that I'm based in Europe.
I'm looking for a legally correct GPS application that works "out-of-the box" or direct from the cab without having to tweak xml files or anything else and which is recognised by the software provider as compatible and acceptable. TomTom and CoPilot do not yet list the HD as a compatible device. I also don't want a software that is linked to one micro SD card (like Garmin XT).
I believe that CoPilot will be the right choice when it is HD compatible. I like also TomTom but it seems so difficult to make it work - there are many threads here about the tricks needed to make maps work. I do have TomTom running but only with the sample map. Trying to get TomTom home to accept the HD and legally download new Maps does not seem legally correct now - maybe next year ...

Hi, did a search and nothing came up.
But just wondering where can i get the TOMTOM navigation software that works with the TP2 please??
also are there any sites specially for TP2/windows mobile apps??
thanks
AFAIK the Tomtom software is free, you only pay for the maps, but I could be wrong. I'm using 7.915.9196 which is VGA and works fine
I don't think there is any TP2 specific software on the market but there is loads of WM6 stuff
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php is a place to start and handango

same here, no problems at all. already tookm a trip, relied on it, and trip went perfect
TomTom is shipped with some devices. But it's not freeware!
Beware you don't start talking warez here
TomTom just made TomTom 7 available on their website for PocketPC's.
TomTom works just fine on the Rhodium probably.
no GPS LAG?
TOM TOM software is not free. and will not currently work with TP2. well the home software dont work. So i cant get the map i purchased. And they wont refund as i was not using a licensed version of software so definitely not free and not officially working

tom tom navigator works purfect on the TP2, have it on mine
Hi
I Have tomtom 7.450 installed on my tp2 and its working well for me.
yes but are they legal versions and work with the TOMTOm home
I had version 7.910.9185 which didn't install.
I have now installed 7.915.9196 but it is asking to activate the map and wants an activation code.
So I went to ttcode.com to get one and it needs the product code. I can't find the product code anywhere, tomtom.com myorders doesn't mention one and tomtom home just shows the map version.
As far as I can make out from tomtom's help version ttn7 onwards don't use product codes.
So how do I get the activation code?
Contact TomTom about that
tomtom again
Hey guys,
iam new here and from germany.
Last week i got my new TP2 (branded by T-Mobile, now called "MDA Vario V")
i tried to install following versions:
Mod Edit: NO MENTION OF WAREZ PERMITTED
so,
if i install the programm on my "phone-storage" i got the warning "BTTrayCE is not a valiued application..."
if i install it on my sd-card i got NO warnings.
but in every versions i got the problem that the software do not find my extractet maps. I searched for a long time and tried different folders, and now its 11:00PM and i dont have any nerves left
i hope somebody can help me and gimme a detailed instructure how to get my tomtom running.
so far,
mypTx
TomTom questions always walk a thin line with regards to legality. No discussion of maps will be permitted.
Opps sorry never mind
There should be a ttnavigator.bif file on the root of the storage card which you can open up in notepad and find the code in there...I think.
if you have live services like traffic and speed cameras then 7.915 is useless as you cannot enable traffic (bug). There is also a definate lag on the GPS side of things compared to my TYTNII. Tomtom at present do not officially support the TP2, although when i phoned them they were more than happy to assist. TTHome is not worth bothering with till they release a version that is compatible with it. I kept on getting errors about device id not matching even though you select to change it and TomTom had reset my account. Gave up in the end and have copied speed cameras manually and traffic is now working.
Managed to get Tomtom 6 working!
Hi,
Having just bought a Touch Pro 2 sim free - loving the device and just about got it set up the way I like it.
You can indeed install Tomtom 6 on it, but BEFORE you do I highly recommend you install a utility called WVGAFIX3. What it does is allow you to change the resolution on your TP2.
Change it to VGA (640x480), then install and run TomTom. It's a bit of a pain toggling between resolutions at the moment, but once a WVGA version of tomtom is released then problem solved.
Got the radio working thanks to the CAB on here, and the 1% batt driver!

Why TT6? TT7.915.916 runs great on my Rhodium. No hassle with resolutions or anything.
Hi,
I tried to install TT Nav. 7 on my TP2, but it doesn't seem to work. I get a message dat TT7 is not compatible with my device. How did you guys got it to work?
Dear all,
It is posible to route Tomtom sounds to bluetooth headset or radio cd bt enabled as handsfree (as a phone call, only hear Tomtom when needed and till then carry on listening music)?
Thanks.
Morning all,
First I would like to wish everyone in the states a very happy turkey holiday. Hopefully yours was as excellent as mine was.
Now onto the real business. I have an Imagio that for the most part I love. While I cannot wait for the SPL and to be able to build custom ROMs I am waiting patiently.
I am trying to run iGo8 on the Imagio and have not found any definitive way of doing it. I have cobbled together some details that work, but are not very stable. Here is what I have currently:
1) iGo8.3.2 97313
2) TTS Susan
3) Dimka HD skin
I searched this section and found a thread on how to get iGo8 to run in landscape 800x480 mode. While this was helpful for the default iGo skin it blows up when trying to use the Dimka HD skin. Second TTS does not work at all, whether I have TF3D running or not. I get no soothing Susan!
I was wondering how people are doing with iGo8 and how do you have it running.
Thanks,
Steve
running 8.3.4 with default skin which I love at the native resolution and it runs perfectly!
Best 3d gps software out there.
I'm running 8.3.4.10280 installed on my SD card, can't get TTS to work but otherwise runs great in landscape or portrait. I'm using "Dave" for regular voice but no matter what I try I can't get TTS to work.
Interestingly this version can read the "geocoded" contacts addresses that prior versions can generate from your WM contacts but it can't generate the file itself so....
If you want to get your contacts to display on the map as POI, you need a different version. I currently have another version (8.3.2.97313) installed in main memory and when I add a contact I'll run this version that will generate the needed file and it adds it to the contacts on the card. This was the only feature that I thought TomTom had over the iGo but now that I got it working iGo tops TomTom in eye candy and utility (IMHO).
Please don't ask where to get the files, they're out there on the interwebs, seek and ye shall find....
Does anyone know if there is a version of the game SNOOD that works on the TP2? I found one but its not made for the TP2 screen size (its an old version from WM5).
Thanks...
try wvgafix app. it loowers the screen resolution. and wont damage your device..just google it
WVGAFIX does not work on Windows mobile 6.5 http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=96120
any other ideas?
