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?

Let us know if anyone has tried Destinator 7, GPS software and works okay ?
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.
I tried installed 3 different versions of TomTom 6.01 & 6.03 (I'm licensed) v7.XX (out of desperation I wanted to see if I could get any version running)
Version 6 gives memory access violation.
I sometimes get the TomTom opening in triple tiny view at the top of the screen.
I can't install v7 it says this version is not suitable for this device.
I've spent hours on this and I just can't get it to work. Has anyone else been experiencing this? Can anyone that managed to get TomTom working, tell me how?
Many thanks,

Hi,
Many thanks for trying to help but I've already seen this post and unfortunately it doesn't help. I tried to install the same version 7 but it says something like device not compatible and the earliest version of 6 that I have been able to find was 6.01.
I've spent many hours on the this problem, I've already searched here and all over the web. It looks to me like only a few people have been lucky to get it working.
If I don't get Tomtom working soon then I'll be sending the Touch HD back. I would appreciate any suggestions. I don't know if it's possibly an issue about missing dlls.
Thanks,
ok thats strange, but i cant help you anymore because i dont have any Touch HD.
But i hope for you that someone will help you.

The problem is that Tom Tom6 maps won't work on Tom Tom7. If you have a world wide collection of maps like me, it's going to cost a fortune to buy all new maps.
Has anyone figured out a way to get Tom Tom 6.03 working on the HD? Surely it is a matter of tweaking??
Edit: It's not a matter of Tweaking. I found a 7.450.9028 cab in my archives from another one of my devices. I was surprised to find that this version WILL work with TomTom 6.75 maps but not lower. Fortunately all of my maps were 6.75 so I'm good to go The only thing/problem is the text and keyboard are small.
I've managed to find an old cab file for 6.00 and it worked straight away! It has all my previous maps and POI from the memory card working fine. I can live with using 6.00 instead of 6.30 so long as it's stable/reliable.
Cheers,
Hi Matterhorn!
I hope to be trying this later today. What steps did you take to try to install Tom Tom 6.03 ? I have this from my TyTn II CD and updated my maps a few months ago.
I have Tom Tom home installed on my PC and was hoping to get Tom Tom home to see the Touch HD as a new device and install to it.
I will post here what I find happens with my attempts.

I still don't know if I'll get my version of Tom Tom 6.03 to work since my HD doesn't arrive until Monday. I don't know where to find the 6.00 version.

TOMTOM 7
I own realy a Touch Hd. For 3 days now.I've installed Tomtom 7,450 VGA.
It works perfectly and with Gsen even horizontal.
I also didn't notice any GPS lag. So what are those people talkinh about.
I suspect that I the only have an HD in their imagination.
I have version 6.010 and i installed it, i hoped for a working install but it doesn't work at all, boot logo from tomtom is showing after that it's crashing like hell, so i founded somewhere a 6.000 CAB file and that's running perfectly on the Touch HD. very strange to me , normaly should newer version have more compatibility solutions.
TomTom 7.450 works on HD
try to find ttn7 with 12.063 MByte. This version works very fine and I'm surpriced about the GPS speed.

Is there any difference is speed when using 2D or 3D maps ? I read somewhere on this forum that someone experienced better speeds ( no lag ) using 2D maps ?!?!
I use Destinator 7 and I am looking to buy HD within a month. I am wondering if anyone can share their experience using Destinator 7 on this device.
Cheers.

A few people are saying that ttn7 works fine for them. It didn't work for me but maybe I just got a duff cab/version. But as licensed (v6) user with lots of maps and a traffic subscription (the subscription would probably be ok but maps definitely not) I prefer to stick with version 6 for now. Tomtom looks great on the big screen and is quick smooth and reliable so I'm happy. Done some short runs with gsen and all seems good there too.

I have also a HD - bought also in Belgium- and it works perfectly, no lag and time to fix is about 20 seconds.
My only concern is ( see:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443782)

I use Nav4All, works perfect and is free..
All,
Which version of TomTom v7.910.9185 or TomTom 7.450 is better? I have been running 7.4 without issues and would like to know what the differences are before upgrading? If there are no advantages I will stay as is since it works!
Also, does the software respond slower in different build?

the 7.910 version has large qwerty for WVGA display and is detected by TTHome.

Does it crash or freeze at anytime? I have heard 7.9 has a few issues whcih is why i stayed on the previous version.
Hawk
I recommend to stay on 7.450. Tried both version more than a week and the 7.450 is absolutly fine on the my HD, instead of a few small problems with 7.910.
No problem with TT7_910.9185_VGA black on my BlackStone
TomTom v7.910.9185 or TomTom 7.450 which is better?
There's only one way to find out...FIGHT!!
Absolutely 7.910.9185
QWERTY large
Splash full screen
More stable
What difference beetwen the two version?
Just like Batista70 , i use the TT7_910.9185_VGA black version and it's ok on my HD.
7.910 seems to update the screen a lot slower then 7.450. Is really noticable when going around roundabouts. I am sticking with 7.450 for now, even if I have to go back to a v7 map.
I'm still with the old release, it works great but I'll give a try to newer.
Anyway there are no additional features for new devices or res.
looks like most people want TomTom 7.450 !"
I experienced some problems with fonts squashed together using the old version.
For me, the newer version fixes these issues with a larger "keypad" and makes it easier to use with fingers. I've not experinced any bugs with it.
Be aware, however, that there seem to be numerous "variants" of the 7.910 revision kicking around on the internet and some of them don't seem to work properly on the 'HD. There is a link on this forum to a set of cabfiles that do work.
Right..
I have them both.. and for me.. useability is more important than any speed/refresh issue.
v7.910.9185 works fine. It has a keyboard that you can use when entering destinations.
7.450 is good.. but it has a really unusable keyboard for destinations.
Takes your pick
I use 7.910

Tom Tom software can be found on the tomtom site and best with a credit card.

Has anyone had any trouble running iGO 8 with WM6.5? On my vogue, it's always freezing at the "starting" stage of the startup screen. I haven't tested it on WM 6.1 so I'm not sure if it's a problem with 6.5 specifically or the vogue. Anyone have similar experiences?
If I remember correctly IGO8 does not like the internet assisted aspect of the internal gps chip. You must disable the internet feature in the registry and use unassisted gps only. Sucks when your gps locks are unreliable so I always carried a bluetooth gps module when using IGO8.
I have to prime the gps on mine with something like AstroGps Launcher or it will not work. Search for iGo8 launcher here in the forums and you will get up and running in no time.
The search didn't turn anything up but it looks like the priming trick did work. I'm just using GPS viewer but it looks like if i use "open GPS" it launches fine. Thanks so much!

Don't forget about GPSGate! I'm using WM6.1, aGPS, and GPSGate to get my iGo8 running. Gets sat lock faster.
I found a link to the launcher Here you go.
Thanks! Maybe I'll give GPSGate or Astra a try.

if you added the speed cams folder, it takes igo 8 a little while longer to boot due to loading the speedcam txt files

I've installed NFSFAN's V12 (WM 6.5) and tried to use iGO8 and encountered similar problem of freezing up at starting page. Any input is appreciated.
Desi Chookrah LOL,
in NFSFAN's rom there is a folder under system tools. In it you will find GPS Viewer. Run that program (com port should be 4) and click open GPS. while this is running, start IG8 up. make sure in IGO8 you scan for ports and it should pick up where your GPS is.
I use astrogpslauncher to avoid this problem.

If you open up GPS viewer and "open GPS" before launching iGo then it starts up with no problems!

How do you change the resolution of iGO on vogue, I have it running using the gps viewer before I launch iGO but the resolution needs to be adjusted.
I have TOMTOM 6 and 7 for my unlocked tilt but can't get either one to work on my Tmobile US version HD2... Very sad since we have the huge screen and I really don't want to use the TELNAV that came on it. Anyone have any luck with this by chance?

Check the HD2 apps section. There is a working TomTom version for HD2 there.

Hi Tomtom 7 works great on HD2.The only problem is u have to buy maps from tomtom and u cannot use the downloaded maps as it does not recognize them in any way.tomtom will allow you to download one city map for free.
One more thing .Install tomtom 7_915.9196 version only.
If you try the other versions it will knock off your blue tooth.its really amazing.
i got garmin Xt to work somehow.I jumbled up different versions and finally its working and i linked it to navipanel. with small glitch.when i click the phone now in navipanel the app freezes.trying to figure out why?
best of luck
i use igo primo,and works fine,also.

Yes that version works fine .. You can add it to the whitelist for the gsensor and that also works well ...
Also on the forum there is a patch that makes it work with the navipanel, if I cannot find the thread, or you can't I think I still have the patch ... Don't want to post it and insult the original poster till other options are tried ...
