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?

Just search for IGO8 on the forum. Someone posted the info a few days ago.

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.

GPS Lag with TT

hi, I just received my HD.
I Installed Tomtom 7.910.985 with Western europe v8.15.2003 but my problem is , i have a huge lag in my position! at least 4 ot 5 sec! I had less with my touch pro and none with my diamond!
I already tested the different gps config like using other nmea gps and selecting 4800, 9600 and 38400 bds but no change, still the same lag!
Did you experience the same lag?
Thanks!

thanks, I'll try tomorrow, I'm just busy downloading the map!
tell you tomorrow!

hi, so tested with the recommended settings (no poi on maps and map .2024) and these are the results :
still lag but much less than before (max 2 sec), voices are accurate so still telling me that it is a software problem rather than a hardware problem.
does the other softwares like igo or navigon also suffer for this lag problem?
It's snowing......................here!
using : TomTom_7.910.9185 VGA Black and map TomTom Western Europe 1GB 815.2024

up, nobody has gps lag?

Unable to use gps properly.

Hey guys,
first post on this, what seems to be a great forum.
I recently bought the Jade and overall i'm very pleased with it.
Today I had some time to install gps software. I picked TomTom 7.450 because i like it more than Igo. The program itself is installed well but i just can't get the receiver activated.
I allready used several settings (disabled agps, 'built-in gps' or 'other nmea receiver' in tomtom, also with different baud rates) but it keeps saying i have a bad reception, it's waiting for a useable signal and it doesn't find any satellites.
I already installe the cab file i found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3031549&postcount=5 but that also doesn't seem to help anything.
Would someone be willing to give a step by step guide in how to get this thing fixed?
Secondly, can someone tell me what setting I should use in orde to still see the 'start button' when i'm using TomTom. With my last pda it remained there when TomTom was activated, so I could also use other programs but with the Jade i can't seem to find how to do this.
Sorry if there are some grammatical errors in this post, I'm from Belgium . Thanks in advance!

update:
i managed to get some signal and got a fix, but after about a minute it was lost again and it won't find it again.
Also I installed IgO8 but it won't start on my jade so I guess I'll have to do it with TomTom...

OK, let's try to find where is the problem .
First chceck your registry. Find out what is your settings in this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS
Set GPSMode to 1
Set EnableAGPS to 0
If you already installed that CAB, it should be like this. This is going to make your GPS fix slower but more accurate and reliable (or it seems to do that ).
Second, download and install GPS Tuner from http://www.gpstuner.com/ . This is a great GPS software for offroad navigation which I use when testing GPS recievers.
Do not allow it to set your GPS receiver automatically. Set your GPS in GPS Tuner to COM 4, baud rate 4800 and Type 1. Go to "GPS Panel" and click green button "Start GPS". Do not leave this tab, because you can see how your receiver is getting fix. Be patient, especially if you do not have a good view of sky. The reason why I use this to test GPS is that you can see satelite signal even if you do not have a fix. Not all GPS applications do that.
If GPS Tuner is able to get fix in some time, there is something wrong with your TT settings. If it is not, there is something wrong with your GPS receiver or registry settings.

In the gps panel tab, the following results were given after pressing start gps (after about 2-3mins):
Lateral and longitudinal positions, altitude were correct
PDOP: 3,7 (good)
Fix: 3d fix
Furthermore it found 16 sats from which 7 were active.
So i presume it's not the gps unit itself but the TT settings? Registry settings are ok i think.
Many thanks allready!

Use latest version of TT
Try to install the latest version (v7.9) of TomTom. This one works ok on the Jade and you can also use the latest maps.

Right! And normaly there is no need to change any gps settings...
I just installed the latest TomTom and everything works fine.

Hey,
i got the 7.450 version to work and it's working brilliantly. Thanks for the link to the 7.9 version Jgeerts, but i'm going to stick with the 7.450 version now it's working .
Heb trouwens even even op je link rondgesnuffeld en de flitspalen zullen erg goed van pas komen! Waarvoor dank natuurlijk.

Yes, but version 7.9 gives correct status for the sattelite reception and it also supports the latest v8.15 (and higher) maps. Version 7.450 does not support the v8 maps.

To be very honest. The file you linked me to (http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/8910078/74070269/sharing.html) gives me an ttsystem file after unpacking without an extension (no .cab, no .exe) and i actually don't have a clue how to use it
edit:
ok, got it to work, i installed the TomTom_7.910.9185 QVGA Black. I hope this one's ok?

Correct version.

@ jgeerts -- thanks very much for linking it. Is it the exe file in the 'tomtom pda' folder that I should download? (TomTom Navigator 7.910.9185 qvga black.exe)? Or is it TTN_7.910.9185_Cracked.rar?

Wrong, I'am using 7.450 and v8.15 maps, works perfect!!!
To use v8 maps on TT7.450 use keygen v7
To use v8 maps on TT7.910 use keygen v8
That's all ;-)

I also have TTN_7.910 9185 QVGA Black.cab and when i trie to install it on my HTC Touch 3G NL i'am getting a errormessage: Installation of TTN_7.910 9185 QVGA Black.cab failed.
This file is okay, i had it installed on my HP iPaq hx2110 with WM5.
Anyone any idea?
TTN7.910 works now, read below how i managed it:
It allready had TTN_7.450.9028 VGA.cab installed on my HTC Touch 3G NL, although the Touch 3G is a QVGA device it worked (some textlines are to big for the screen).
On this thread i found following link: (http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/8...9/sharing.html).
There you can find: TT7_v7.910.9185_vga_via_update_van_7450.9028.rar in the tomtom pda folder.
In this download you wil find TomTom_7.450.9028.cab and 2 versions of TT7_v7.910.9185, black and blue incl. data.chk
After installing TomTom_7.450.9028.cab (or in my case TTN_7.450.9028 VGA.cab) all you have to do is copy the preffered version, black or blue of TomTom Navigator.exe and Data.chk to your device: in the folder (phone or storage memory)\Programmabestanden\Navigator.
Since i have a Dutch device the folder is called Programmabestanden, i don't know how it's called in English.
On my device there is also a folder Program Files, where in my case TT is not installed.
But i think most of you can figure it out yourselfs by know how it works, otherwise your not worthy a PDA.
With TTN 7.450 my HTC could find satellites but it was unable to show me how many it found. GPS receiption was good although. With A-GPS turned OFF.
With TTN 7.910 the problem above is solved, my HTC stil finds satellites and now i can see how many of them there are out there in the sky.
Another nice thing is that now although i installed VGA TT7.450 and replaced it with VGA TT7.910 i can read all text on the screen.
The text is smaller so it fits the screen but still very good readable.
Sincelry,
a big fan of TomTom.

Final solution to this problem !
Disabling AGPS is the cause of the issue we have here.
I've done some testing with AGPS enabled and GPSMode set to 1 and the results are good (quick fix and almost no lag).
Please read my reply on another topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3143383&postcount=17
A cab is attached to it to make the registry changes.
Kind regards.

boring GPS fix lag...
I wonder if all Jade owners are happy w/ their GPS performance..
Despite experiencing many tweaks, it still lags too much..
Any suggestion from the guys are happy w/ it..??

I am quite happy with my GPS performance. However i am using Garmin XT. There is lag, of course but probably by a few ms (a few feet) but it does not make me miss a turn or a junction.

Wrong, 7.450 does support v8.15 maps, but only with keygen v7. don't ask me why, the answer is: because!
7.910 needs keygen v8 for v8.15 maps.

iGO8 with Iolite / XDA Guide / Touch cruise 09

Hi all,
I have been using TOMTOM 7 so far which works well on my Iolite. I saw iGO8 working and it looked quite good, so attempted to install it on mine too. After installation, I have been trying to get it working since yesterday
The installation is always successful. But when I try to launch the application, the curser changes as if the phone is doing something / about to launch the application, but then nothing happens.
I dug out other threads which are about other phones having trouble with iGO8 but did not find a thread about Iolite.
Has any one tried to install iGO on their Iolite / XDA Guide / Touch cruise 09 so far (successfully or unsuccessfully) ??
I would be very grateful if I can get help on this issue please

Try this: edit your sys.txt and compare.
My sys.txt:
[project]
name="igo8_pda"
[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"
[interface]
maxzoom2d=6000000
show_exit=1
remember, you have 2 sys.txt, on the SD-Card in "IGO8", and in "\Programs\IGO8". booth must be the same.
Greetings!

Many thanks mirko.prinz,
I will try that.
Is that from an Iolite or a different phone?
I've noticed that Iolite is not in the supported list on iGO website but iGO actually looked so good that I am still determined to get it working.
I will report how it goes later.
Thanks

My current sys.txt says:
[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"
[interface]
maxzoom2d=6000000
show_exit=1
I am about to try your version and will let you know how it goes.

OK, I tried that, still the same. Seems as if its about to do something, and then nothing
Anything else I should try ?
Many thanks for your help.

Maybe, you have the wrong version? They are PDA and PNA-Versions. What you was buying? What is the version-number?

Mine is iGO 8. Or do you need the exact version number like 8.0.0.335 etc ?
I can check the exact version when I get home, unless you know how to check it in my phone? I have the iGO8 directory and the included files in my phone and can check it now if you can tel lme where to check please?
Thanks.

On the phone only, when it runs. Look at home. Maybe, some versions not running on iolite. My version is 8.3.2.97313 They makes trouble with EZInput 2.1 (makes self many characters "Ä" in the input-line)

OK, try this: backup your IGO-files, then change data.zip and branding.zip from here
http://www.4shared.com/file/153951601/9e4f5553/BRANDING.html
http://www.4shared.com/file/153952106/17d1799b/DATA.html
When it not helps, uninstall IGO, take the files from the unpacked IGO8-fix.zip,
(http://www.4shared.com/file/153952792/c5f37a79/IGO8-fix.html)
put it in your folder named iGO8 of the SD-Card and then reinstall it (autorun from the folder 2577)
Don´t forget, backup your files befor!
Greetings!

Thanks, I wil ltry these fixes when I get home this eve and will report back.

Last night I started to try the changes but got side tracked by the following circumstances !
Firstly I thought I should check the version I have been trying on my Wife’s phone (XDA Orbit 2 / Polaris). So I installed the program, and then added the maps etc. Started the program and it worked flawlessly.
Now the wife was happy and that means I was too. Apart from that I knew that the installation and the maps etc itself have no problems. So it must be that this iGO is just not compatible with Iolite.
Then, I thought I will re-install the program clean, before trying your changes. But this time I tried a different version which is iGo 8.3.4.102680 .
Seems like this is quite different from the other iGO8 version I was trying previously. Unfortunately I never got that version to ever start or even display the splash screen so I don’t know exactly what version it was.
But after installing iGo 8.3.4.102680 on my Iolite, I was nicely surprised when the program actually displayed the initial splash `screen ( as this is the first time I have seen it working on an Iolite). I waited and the program actually started
The problem is, that because I had the old maps from the other version, iGO says that the maps are out of date and need updating.
So for the benefit of others, at least now we (Iolite owners) know that version 8.3.4.102680 definitely works on Iolites (even though the iGO website does not include Iolite in the supported devices).
Unfortunately I don’t have the maps for iGO 8.3.4.102680
mirko.prinz.... If no other development tonight, I will re-install the old version tonight and go through your fixes you mentioned above. Sorri didn’t get a chance last night due to seeing (some) light at the end of a (different) tunnel if you know what I mean
So now I have two versions, one with maps (that doesn’t work on Iolite) and one that works with Iolite (but doesn’t have the maps) !!
So I would be very grateful if someone here could donate the UK maps for testing this version pleeeeez ??????
Unless someone also knows how to use the old maps with the new iGO versions?

When you a little bit understand german, you should look at here

Hi mirko.prinz and stdk,
Once again thanks for the files and solutions.
I installed the maps to test, and turns out that some how the maps I have are not compatible. After installing the UK maps from stdk (thanks again) the country changed from HUNGARY to the UK (initially I could only see Hungary with my own maps and thats how far it got before I replaced the maps with the above given links).
So finally its all wrking. Thanks to both of you, hopefully I wont get lost again
Next step will be to find out how to back up my own original ROM, so I can test some of the better ones from here
Thank you.

keyboard problem
Dear all,
You are all treating the issue of "Ä" typing characters as you have a workaround for that. I've tried changing the keyboard to the default keyboard of Win 6.1 and had the surprise of being capable of introducing street name, country etc, but when I got back into writing emails I had the ezinput 2.1 keyboard again as default. Opened Igo and started having the same problems with the "Ä" character.
Any other workaround? It's hard to get into registry and change the keyboard each time you want to use Igo instead of SMS or emails, not to mention is not ergonomically to have to switch from one keyboard to another. Is there any other keyboard which works ok both with Igo and any other applications in which occurs writing?
Thanks,
Alex

You can try fingerkeyboard 2.1, i find it a good compromise. It works in igo 8, and is finger friendly...
But ezinput still keeps resetting itself as default!

Dammit. Which Offline-Navigation solution is working properly under Android?

I'm desperate. Using Coredroid 1.6 NAND and cant find even one Navigation-software which is working properly.
My tries:
Sygic Aura: Woking good, but closes itself suddenly and without proper reason.
Navigon 2.6.1: Works great for a few minutes, but suddenly Android makes a hot restart (swaps to android bootscreen) and I find navigon in the main menu. not very comfortable if you are driving in a car and need to set up the destination every 5 minutes
Igo: Works, but the voice is stuttering. Its like .. "Turn...[break]..left in 100 [break] meters. Changing the voice had no effect.
Tried to wipe everything with clockwork and reinstalled again freshly: same problems.
Did any of you guys and girls experience the same problems and have any clue on how to fix on of that issues? I need at least one fully working gps-offline-solution and the 3 above are my favourites. I dont know if its a build- or kernel problem or anything.. the gps fixes fast with each of the softwares.
I tried to search, but people are issuing other gps problems like gps is working incorrectly or does not even fix, but thats not the problem I experience.
So please, share your experiences and oppinions or show me topics that could help.

iGo works good for me. Voice doesn't stutter.

thats the one I used and the sound was horrible =( Maybe its a rom-related problem, but then I'm wondering that no one else is experiencing this problems..

Maverick's not horrible
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

CoPilot Definitely! Great app and navigation is spot on!

MOD EDIT: Just making sure noone is tempted to follow up on the statement you posted

I have tried alot of Navigation apps for Android on the HD2 and IMHO Copilot is the best visually and has never had any problems. Sygic looks really nice (similar to TomTom) but the position keeps jumping which is very anoying as I really liked it.
Mark.

Navigon 3.5.4
Using latest Navigon 3.5.4<-- i think, on the Coredroid series with no problems. Best IMHO.

I've switched over to typhoon rom..Igo is still stuttering! Using radio version 2.15 and the very same version as you. Maybe its SD-card related, so I will try to switch it.
@mskip: installed copilot. Need to test it, but looks okay.

I'm currently using Copilot, but I've been wondering, if I should change to Sygic Aura, because it looks so great. Does the Sygic Aura have speed camera warnings?

Yes it does and it does look the best of the bunch but it stuttered all the time while I was driving its like its constantly trying to catch up with it position and when you stop it goes crazy lol. May just be the Rom im using it with so give it a go and let us know if the movement is smooth.

Yes it does, but a couple of warnings.
-Routing just plainly ... (fill out the 5 letters).
-None existant support
-no time to arrival display in portrait mode (small bug according to them 'should be fixed in a couple of weeks, that was 4 months ago and a version back)
-old maps and speedcams that don't update
-jumps position when standing still (even with a external BT device that is spot on)
I am now using iGO with a skin and to be honest I love it.
As an old iGO man I was surprised to see a 2002 gps software look in Android comming from the skinned iGO in Winmo which is still far superb in many ways.
There are 2 skins you can find for iGO in Android which make it a bit more 'old school' like.
There is the motogis skin which I do not like since you only get speedcam warnings when travelling to fast and the you have the 12carrera12_Sbertaud13 which works perfect for me.

So iGo is better than Sygic Aura? Is there any benefits having iGo over Copilot? I'm liking the Copilot, but it doesn't seem to get map or speedcam updates very often. Is there same problems with iGo?

I have tried Copilot for 1 day and there where a couple of things that bothered me. I believe it was not seeing the speed I drove or not showing the max speed on a road. Can be that I am wrong in this but I think it was that.
In iGO there are many sources to create your speedcam files from so I would concider that to be opensource like.
The latest maps I believe are from mid 2010 so still pretty ok to me.
But we are hijacking someones thread here!
Mideel any way to record this and to put it on youtube so we can have a look at it?

Im also running coredroid 1.6 and have no problems with the stock navigation. I installed Dark Angels GPS fix and get a quick GPS lock. Been working flawless in my opinion.

Its okay, since I'm interested in other oppinions about the variety of navigation-systems for android.
no need to to record it, just imagine you are watching a youtube-video and it is buffering all the time, so the clip doesnt run smoothly. thats how it sounds when the igo-voice is speaking. Just like I said, its stuttering.
But no one seems to have the same problem, so I suppose its hardware-related (SD-card or something)
Tested Copilot, its working, but Igo was always the better solution for me, since winmo 6.5 times.

Thanks, but maybe you missed the topic. Stock-Navigation means Google Maps, right? Well, its not offline. And GPS Fix is fine and fast for me without any fixes or modifcations
