New googlemap 4.1- does it support D.compass? - HD2 General

Does the new 4.1 of googlemap support the compass? I just found out that googlemaps supports the HD2 digital compass(I have the usa t-mobile HD2) but I updated to 4.1 (version with voice lookup) already and I tried rotating the HD2, but the arrow still points in one direction no matter which way I turn the HD2. I tried disabling GPS in googlemaps and still didn't work. I tried manually setting gps to com4,57600, and still it won't give true facing.

*bump* nobody yet?

where did u get the google map 4.1 from ?

I downloaded it with Opera.
I can't get compass input yet.
It gives an error when I try to show the position of GPS photos.
It does install its cache to SD if it's installed there.

you can download the GPSMod Driver, it lets you use the compass with any application

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.

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?

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.

Why don't you actually store the file on memory card for any future use?
Download it from freewarepocketpc.net

You had a bad link.

No problems with Opera.
When i go to m.google.com and click on Google Maps with the R3A stock rom Google auto-detects the phone as Xperia X1 but it says that the googlemaps is not compatible with the device and suggests i use google maps online instead.
I used IE on the same page and i managed to download it.

But it's better to use links I gave, so you just go to download for the platform of your choice.
More convinient. GMaps is just made for platforms, not for specific devices.

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.

Digital Compass on HD2 TMOUS.

I have a question to all HD2 TMOUS owners. Does this device have digital compass? Does it work properly with the Google Maps application?
The reason why I am asking is because it wasn't mentioned in the specs of this phone on the official HTC website. However it was mentioned in the specs of the Europe version of this device.

It don't remember if it is in the stock ROM (the app that is), but it is in the one custom ROM that I use (NRG ROMs). So, the ability is there even if the app isn't.
It works well.
works well

glad to hear that!
thank you

Please, my friend, help us on gettting this to work. How can we have the integration between Digital Compass and Google Maps? What should we do?
Thank you.

5MB is a huge cab! Amiright? What exactly does the compass do with google maps that google maps can't do without it?

I thinking (hoping) that what it does is provide accurate orientation information when there's little or no movement for gmaps to interpolate heading.
EDIT: also, the cab he has attached above is for the full compass app, not the tweak to make it work with gmaps

Here you go.
I have purchased the htc hd2 tmobile us in april. I have tried to run the digital compass but I have never had a success in using the app. I always get stock at the magnetic interference screen. I've tried every figure eight style you can imagine but it never works.
I recently noticed that is a big problem for me because I'm starting to use the gps feature on the phone.
Could someone help me on how to fix it ?
Thanks in advanced.
(i've already searched google and tried figure 8 vertically and it still doesn't work)
