Hi
There is may be a workaround here but i don't know about it. Officially Tomtom home won't support HD2. But use a t7.915.cab will be the easiest way to install Tomtom in the HD2 and it works great. You can find this cab file also here in xda. Just search
Good luck

I have Windows Mobile Device Centre installed and it runs in the background and works fine.

I know that cab works on HD2 but the TomTom Home software installed on the computer won't recognise HD2 when it is connected to the computer.

is there any possibility with windows xp, so it means, with activesync instead of mobile device centre.
i´ve bought the traffic information, but can´t update my hd2 with it yet.
thanks!

Try tomtom home 1.5. I'm sure this works but will try and check and post reply.

TomTom Home 1.5 on XP does work with HD2 but there is no map share and you can not download anything. All it does is recognise the handset.
P.S. If you have active traffic subscription, you don't need to connect your HD2 with TomTom home to update traffic. Just enter your account details in to the MY ACCOUNT section in TomTom software on your handset and enjoy!

TomTom Home does'nt currently support HD2 so we need to wait for an update. I notice in your SIG that you have a touch Diamond,If you still have it, You can update the map on your Diamond and transfer the 4 files needed to HD2 (MapServerPatch,ServerLineIndex,ServerNameIndex,PatchFilter)

What are these files for ?

These are the files placed in your map folder by TomTom home, used for the mapshare updates. You can tell by the dates on the files, eg. if you update the map today, those 4 files will be dated todays date. If you copy them over to your HD2 Map then you will have the latest mapshare update.

I can install Tomtom Navigator 6 on my HD2 up to the point that the cabs are moved onto my SD card (16GB) and the card is installed. At that point the cab installs successfully and TomTom opens a setup screen, which seems to ask the interface language and left/right hand preferences. But this screen is scrambled (wrong resolution) so it's impossible to enter a response and it locks up. Has anyone got a work-around for that?
Strangely, that happened the first time I installed on the TyTnII; but then I was able to make out enough to press the right buttons and it worked fine after that.

Tomtom version 6 or 7
I tried to install tt6 - installation from cab without problems - but cannot open the program. Installed tt7.915.916 black, but it cannot recognize my maps from Western europe or Scandinavia - and installation was not possible on SD card.
I bought a licence from TT (version 6) and the programme was running very well on my HTC 3300. Are someone able to solve that problem ?

Navigation app + maps???

Hello there...It is 2 days i have passed from windows mobile to android...and i think Android just rocks...i used to use iGo8 with my HD2 and i cant find it for android...is there someone to help me please? I need just the app and Greek maps..anyone who can help me i would be glad....

Well you can use Googles Map application from the market.
Of course that requires you have a connection.
I think some of the major GPS companies sell Android programs, but they are expensive.
Something like "Mapdroyd" will use openstreetwikimaps to show you where you are when you are not connected to the net. But there is no navigation.
"Maverick" can cache maps from the net and then you can use them when you are offline. But no turn by turn navigation.
On your PC you can run the program Mobile atlas creator ( http://mobac.dnsalias.org/ ) to download all freemaps over your area - in this case greece - and generate offline maps that several android programs can use (like Maverick)
This can easily take many hours to do though - but I guess you don't have to update them that frequently

Check out Copilot or Destinator

Thank you very much..I ll try both

Motonav is the best!

[HOW TO] Transfer your CoPilot from WinMo -> Android

***Update 3*** 09th August 2011
ALK have restored the CP8 download. Link here - thanks to Antus.
***Update 2*** 06th June 2011
It would seem with the introduction of CoPilot 9, a number of changes have occurred to their web site. As such, the old free APK update for CP8 has been removed from their system and can no longer be downloaded. It's still legit to own as it requires activation, so if someone could host the file contact me and I'll add the link, otherwise, this thread is effectively invalid. Sadly I no longer have the APK in question, because I just invested in CP9.
***Update*** 15th August 2010
This isn't specifically for the HD2. In fact this works for any device! WinMo -> Android OR Android -> WinMo.
Since those geniuses Coutlla/Dan fixed GPS for the HD2 Android, I thought for those of you who have purchased Co-Pilot and wish to transfer it over to Android, I'd make a small guide.
Requirements:
- A *LEGAL* copy of CoPilot 8 for Windows Mobile and the license key
- The latest version of CoPilot 8 for Android (works in Froyo now): LINK RESTORED
I bought it about 8 months ago for my HD2, for Windows Mobile 6.5. Great piece of software. I contacted ALK to ask if I could transfer between OS's and they said no, it wouldn't work! It also clearly states on their web site that transfers don't work: LINK RESTORED
So being stubborn, I thought I'd take my own license from WinMo and deactivate it, stick it into Android and needless to say - it works and I have a fully legal copy of CoPilot 8 running on my Android Froyo device. Those cheeky beggers at ALK!!!
So how to get it working:
Make sure you still have CoPilot installed under Windows Mobile and activated;
Launch CoPilot. Go to the Menu|Settings|Licensing (NOTE: If you can't see this, find "More Settings" and select that first to show Licensing);
Select your Map Region from the list (Mine was UK and Ireland), then press "Deactivate";
CoPilot will now shut down;
Boot into Android and using an installer, install the APK file which is in the requirements section at the top of the page or here (LINK RESTORED);
Open CoPilot from the Menu and it will ask for your license info. Enter this as you did when you first bought CoPilot (usually a username and password);
Bada Bing. That should be it, all working!
Just to clarify one further time, this is only for legally purchased licenses. No questions about dodgy software please. Thank you.

Very interesting, thanks !
How about Map data ? where do u put it on the card ?

It should be on the root of your SD Card in a folder "CoPilot".

I wonder if the text to speech feature will also work.... using the current key.

Thanks, thought that would work, and now I know it will! I'll be setting it up as well.
That was the only reason I would need to go back to WM. I use CP8 all the time!
Hero!

Haha, my motivation for switching was the same. It's better in Android IMO. For example you use the Android keyboard so it's qwerty and accepts voice input. It also has controllable volume over bluetooth For me I always listen to Music via bluetooth and in WinMo there was no control over individual volumes. If I had the volume at a normal level for music, the speech was far too loud. Now it's all controllable

Man I hated that Copilot non qwerty! Wow, speech too! Neat, just need to download the cp8 app for android now...

@OP (and everyone else)
Would anyone mind if I wrote this up on the front page, as it's great news. Anyone foresee any issues if this becomes 'publicised'? If so, I will hold off.

My only concern would be that Copilot ALK may not want us to transfer. But I do think that other HD2 owners or anyone coming from WM should be, and would be, happy to transfer/use CP8 that they paid for on Android.
So I guess ...go for it. I'm switching ASAP just in case...hehe.

Ok, cool thanks. Just thought I'd quickly check - I had the same thoughts as you (noellenchris). I've written up a short article on this, so it should get published sometime tonight/tomorrow (GMT).
If there any strong objections let me know

All working, the only thing I should have done was deactivate Premium Live Services first in WM.... before the UK/IRELAND maps.... not really a big problem as the live services are a waste of time anyway.
To be honest, comparing Copilot to the free Google Navigation app I think Copilot will be dead and buried within a year.

what about tomtom navigator?

deactivation in android?

I have done this before to transfer between winmo devices and it works a treat. Do you know if you can do the reverse of this and deactivate it in Android and then reactivate it back in winmo? Be useful to know before I get locked in to android.

Yes it is 100% reversible. ALK can't be bothered with all the enquires I think and I truly believe it's a good way for them to make a quick extra money! As a user who paid for it once, I refuse to pay again. Take Photoshop for example, if you buy it for a mac, you can use the same license on a PC and vice versa.
Enjoy!

AFAIK, there is no TomTom for Android. Quite frankly they are so behind with their mobile software, it's just not worth using anyway.

Hope ALK is planning on integrating the contacts in CP8.... Other than that, it works great.

Anyone know if it will be possible to deactivate my WM version when I don't own my old windows phone any more?

Yes you can, but you have to contact them via email or their web site. Just explain and ask them to release your license. I've done it on numerous occasions.

[Q] GPS for Android

Hi,
I am using Winmo Energy ROM & Android Froyosense 2.2
I always use Garmin mobile XT for my gps, but i don't know what gps software should i use when i am on android?
thanks

I am happily using Sygic Mobil Maps

You could also try Ndrive available from the market

There is IGOmyway available as well. I use it right now

I'll try them to find which one is more suitable for me ( especially the need of Indonesia's map )
thanks again guys

They all suck compared to Garmin. Hopefully they come up with an Android version. All though the one that come on the Desire HD seemed pretty swell! Tried it out for a bit but had to give up on the rom.

I tried one by one from previous replier, but it seems that i have to buy for the map/software

I don't except using GPS in android at all.....

Garmin is not free either. Hasn't been available by retail for a few years. Unless you find a hacked version. Or purchased it a few years ago.
And with a little googling you should be able to find igo or ndrive too. Igo can be a pain to set up and get working correctly on the HD2. Ndrive was a breeze. I have both.
You can always use the FREE google navigation app as long as you have a data connection. Also somewhere on xda someone has developed BRUT google maps. Where you can cache maps and add them to your storage card so you can use the app without having a data connection.

Ndrive is by far the best behind google maps. Its has a nice GUI, and so far routing has been pretty good for me.

[Q] Old 6.5 apps to WP7 is it possible

I've just bought another HTC HD2 had the power supply on the old one packed up and I can only charge the batteries ( I have 4 now) out of the phone, I've previously installed the Energy Rom and it was working brilliantly with its 16 gig microSd card and Tomtom installed.
My question is, there are links here to HOW TO INSTALL WP7 to HTC HD2, even I can follow them BUT, can I use my old apps "6.5" in the new WP7 OS, I'm not sure if its worth changing to WP7 if the old apps wont work like Skype and such.
Thanks in advance.
Rikki.

No, it's bit like asking if you can run iPhone apps on WM6.5 - just can't be done unfortunately.

Thx alot....
I was hoping that some apps were backwardly compatible, but I guess not.
Thanks again, I might play around on the phone thats being returned, it wont matter if I brick it lol.

Sadly not. There are some that have been recreated for WP7 but there is such a disparity in the underlying software architectures that porting just ain't gonna happen...unless someone writes an emulator.
But half of the fun of WP7 is playing with the new apps, some of which are quite sexy and a big step on from WM6.5.

^Maybe but i dont have igo primo for wp7? anyway is there any app for wp7 like igo ?

things are moving fast,every thing is possible but as mentioned above WP7 is made to be the new face for Microsoft and the past is past.
as for emulator, it could be the right answer.
but i don't think it would be for the HD2 and HD7 in their current hardware versions.

If you live in Europe then you can try Navigon Select. Pretty basic but does the job quite well and has the same map source as iGo
For the USA there is a free sat nav software in the Marketplace called A-to-B. This app has european maps (at least for my country quite good ones!), but turn by turn is US only for the moment. European voice guidance is coming soon.

I recall reading that WP7 is based on Windows CE 6.0 (R2, I think). I've also read of GPS devices with CE6 that run some CE5.x apps (after unlocking). In fact, no CE version has ever broken compatibility with previous versions. What usually gets in the way is the layer on top of CE: Windows Mobile before and WP7 now. With WM, problems attempting to run an app in a different version than it was designed for are usually due to 1) version checks during installation failing, 2) version checks at runtime failing, and 3) missing DLLs. I have a lot of experience with overcoming all three in order to get WM apps running on plain CE devices (like GPS devices), so, once I install WP7 on my HD2, I'll see what I can do. Microsoft has made a lot of changes to WP7 to cripple the underlying OS (ex. CE6 supports multitasking), so they may have removed or implemented something that I'm not aware of to lock the phone down and purposely break compatibility (afterall, if WM apps can be made to run, it'd undo what they're trying to accomplish, security-wise), but I'll give it a shot.

there is nothing to stop us having 6.5 apps run on here, both software and hardware are compatible BUT WP7 doesnt use the same set of APIs, so WM6.5 programs would need to be reprogramed (mostly around the UI and hardware interface) to work, of course if they were going to do that then they may as well just write a native program.
This also would mean your phone would need to be unlocked, soooo unless someone developes an emulation layer as a go between you'll not get them working im afraid.
