Is there any hack available to make the Turn by Turn Navigation work in countries where its not available?
Currently, I think its only available in US. I'd love to see it working in my country (India)....

Found it, its called Brut Google Maps and was in G1 section.

Hi -
I've seen messages touting Tomtom 7 as being great for use with the 6800. I can't find it for sale anywhere. Can anyone point out a good site to go to to purchase this product?
Thanks,
Tim
PS - I'm NOT looking for warez sites. I would be happy to pay a fair purchase price if it's wonderful.
Mod Edit: We do not promote warez on xda. Next time it's a ban.

Gosh, I don't know how I could have been more clear. I buy my software (assuming that it's not freeware, of course! )
Is Tomtom 7 actually in release yet? I don't see it listed on the tomtom company website.

Yes, I can post the cab for you and you can install it, though it won't do any good without the maps. You have to buy the maps from TomTom.

So why can't you get the TomTom7 cab or installer on their site? I too had to find the cab somewhere and then go get the maps from TomTom.

Ok, thank you very much for all your help. I would appreciate that.
One more question: when I go to the tomtom site and tell it that I want to purchase maps for tomtom 7, it only offers me maps for europe, the far east and the middle east. I was hoping to find maps for the united states. Is that not possible?
Thanks,
Tim

If I go to their site and select United States and then the map products, I can choose the Go 300 product and then pick which map you want. They have both USA and USA/Canada available in the 7.x version. $129 for just the USA map.
Thanks. I'll go check on that right now.
How can I legally obtain the software?
Here's the cab for TomTom 7. As I stated earlier though, you need to purchase the maps from TomTom.
http://www.cinconet.org/tomtom7cab/TomTom Navigator 7.cab
Ok, thanks. I see that I can purchase tomom 7 maps from tomtom.com for europe and the near and far east, but not for the USA & Canada. Another person suggested above that I can get appropriate maps if I just start with saying that I have a GO300. Are the map files usable on any device? That is, does it matter that I'd be using the maps that he suggests on an xv6800 instead, or will they actually work ok? Also, will I need to download and use tomtomHome to actually install them?
Thanks,
Tim

I believe if you use the same version map as TTN then it will work. The Go300 has version 7 maps. You might be able to get the maps after installing TTN on your phone and doing it through that program.
Thanks for helping. I have to ask, though: what is TTN?

My understanding is that TTN7 was preloaded onto the HTC Diamond and is not for retail - just yet.
I can confirm that it is superior to TTN6 in terms of operability and of course the TT7 maps are more up to date. I was recently in Australia and a new toll road opened a few months earlier than scheduled and it was already available for navigation on TT7 maps.
I have not used the USA map on TT7 yet because I didnt want to shell out the $$$ just yet and TT6 maps seem to be just fine in my area.
Hi all
I'm running a legitimate copy of TTN7 on an HTC Touch Diamond. I'd like to add maps of North America, but the map store does not sell them for my version, only for Navigator 6. The map version available is 6.75. Does anybody know if this map will work OK with TTN7?

Hey GarySN,
sorry, I have no solution for your problem. But maybe you are able to help me ? I've installed tomtom 6.5 but I'm not able to connect to the diamond's internal gps. Any advise ?
Many thanks !

You need to go outside on a fairly sunny day turn on the gps and let it sit on for about 5-10 minutes. First connection always takes a very long time. If thats not the problem, I cant imagine what is, as the connection to the internal gps is automatic.

you might also want to first use Quick GPS. It really helps in getting a fix faster.

can u tell me which version of TomTom works ok?
Thx
the one I use is version 7, smart phone edition
I got TomTom installed but i wait for ever to get a satellite lock.
And I never do.How long do i have to wait to get a lock?
What settings are we supposed to set in order for it to work. My HD locks in 2 seconds when sitting next to my Snap.
Also is there a quick GPS app in the Snap?I couldnt find it.
Thx

I just hope i never get your problem with mine. Im getting one in a couple of days. One of the reasons why im upgrading from my dash is so i don't have to use my bluetooth gps.
Wish me luck!
EDIT:
Well I got my phone and I've got the problem. I wait forever and i never get a lock!! What should I do?
EDIT:
Yay it works now . It was pretty obvious to fix it in the end (If it is called fixing) There is a program called quickgps in the startmenu. Press download and it downloads details about the satellite so its easier for the gps to get a lock. I have only walked around testing it and it seems to be working good so far
I am having trouble finding a good working turn by turn gps navigation app (such as tom tom) which also works on the HD2....
any help/ advice ?
Thanks in advance...
TomTom works fine on HD2.
Navigon MN7, Copilot.
what versions ? and what are your radio/rom/ wm version info's, please ?
iGO, Garmin XT...
Tomtom works fine for me too...
*edit* ttn 7.917 at the moment, probably change that to 7.918 once I get the inclination to transfer the files... Radio in my sig...
Igo works fine for me. Sometimes you need to set the GPS device port to 4 before it will pick up the internal GPS hardware.
I use this. It is fantastic.

I've got Navigon MN7 and GF is trialling Copilot8, routing is similar but we both like the MN7 interface better.
Copilot also waits until just after you turn left/right before telling you to "turn left/right shortly" which is a bit confusing.
Copilot is good VFM tho'
are there any free equivalents ?
im trying to find a cracked version of a gps program to run on my hd2. for some reason i never got a copy of it on my hd2, but i suppose its because i got it unsubsidized from asia. anywho, a free equivalent would be nice.
I use and love Waze

Warez is not permitted on XDA in any shape or form, whether requesting or providing
Consider this first and last warning!!!!
Any further requests or users providing warez will be banned for an undisclosed period of time
AFAIK there is no free turn-by-turn navigation for WM.

If you do a search on this site you will find a link to the TomTom v916 program for the HD2. The program is free, but you have to buy the maps.
You could always go to the ROM section and flash an official HTC ROM, as this comes with co-pilot. I have no idea how much the maps cost or it is a subscription as I don't use it.

There used to be one, GPS4All, until Nokia screwed them over with map licencing.

Co-Pilot ranges from £26.99 to under £100, dependant on the number of maps you buy.
daanng the maps cost money hahaha. i'll look into it. the programs eat up battery life rather easily too right?

Maybe if we're lucky, Google will port their turn by turn from Android. I wouldn't count on it though.

Yes, anything that involves GPS + leaving your screen on for an extended period of time will use the battery fast. Get a car charger...

looks interesting but is kind of expensive. i'm downloading the trial right now though.
I've just got an Xperia X10 and I've got to say that I find using the keyboard to be a pain.
I hear that this phone can now be rooted. Can someone explain the benefits of doing that at this time? Can I upgrade to 2.1 early?
Finally, I find that they're some apps that I can't find on the market (e.g. RunKeeper, Skype) using the Xperia.
Does anyone know why this is?
Thanks.

Hey, there are a few alternatives to Runkeeper listed here: http://superuser.com/questions/23409/runkeeper-on-android . Also, fring is going to get Skype back as soon as they fix their servers.
Edit: Nimbuzz works too, so I am told.

I have a friend with a HTC Desire and he was able to find it in the market.
Why can't I find it? Does this relate to version numbers?
