Just received... my old Tom TOm 5 isn't working, IS working but can't find GPS receiver!
I am using TT 5, the same used with Wings and Excalibur, with external GPS!
Solutions? Have you tested some other navigation software?
Try Sygic McGuider or Garmin Mobile XT. Those should work .
Sygic Mcguider... the only way is to buy an (expensive) SD pre-installed version
Garmin XT, expensive "should work"? I can't buy a "should work"
Sygic doesn't wok!
Installed, looking for fix.... error, program crash
Hi , it seem copilot 7 its compatible too
Route 66, ver 8 works flawless. The fastest fix i've seen on htc phone! Even indoor...

Works without a touch screen? Are you using a virtual cursor application?

Almost. You can use 95% of the menu's with the trackball and/or keyboard.
Only a few menu's, which usually are only used rarely to configure the device, can't be selected without FakeCursor or SPHelper.
So after setting up TomTom the daily use doesn't require any tools, just the trackball and keyboard!
exactly, what kind of version u use?
The problem i have with my snap is that i cant select another country with keyboard or trackball?
Do you use a specific key for that?
i'm using tomtom software
Confirmed, full version of McGuider 2009 is working, altough trial is not...

Hi sergiopi,

It is work?
Thank you,
Nick
Garmin Mobile works!
Small inconvenience: moving around the map with the trackball is slow
My mobiler
Hi,
I used my mobiler to get tomtom7 to work properly.
Couldn't change the country with the Snap.
With my mobiler I changed it.
Now I can use it like tomtom shoul.

For those of you that cant get Navigation software to 'find' your GPS install MSGPSID to set your port.

Sorry for the looong delay, I am using the R66 WM version. The only BUG is the GPS setting installed. I discovered, after installing TOM TOM, that the the TT signal bars aren't displayed, even in full reception.
I foud this is a well known bug related to Route 66 installation
But TT works, even without the signal bars

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.
[EDIT]
Hey, I found this cab and it works on my Tmobile HD2. Just to be sure, I also intalled the newest version of Google Maps. Good luck!

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)
sigh
Which GPS apk do you recomend to use ? With precise european maps & good graphics resolution for i5800 screen.
Sygic has not good resolution for i5800 and Navigon looks OK - but no experiences.
At Windows mobile I was very satisfied with Igo 8
As OpenStreetMap Contributor I would recommend MapDroyd or OsmAnd. For those who don't know openstreetmap, take a look at wikipedia (can't post links as new user...)
I am using copilot live, and love it really. great screen resolution, no crashing.

thanks, and what about maps ? does it cover middle europe ?
Take a look here: hxxp://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android
And in Germany you can't get better maps than OpenStreetMap. And best thing is, even if there is something missing, just add it yourself. Maps are and will be free.

Hi,
iGo is not available for 240x400 resolution. I use NDrive for navigation and i am totally satisfied with it. Has the same detail level in maps as iGo i think.

hi guys when ever i start my gps the position is locked in 10-20 sec but my position is always shown .5-1 km away from my original position, the location of the cell tower my mobile is using is shown as my position, my exact location is never locked what is the problem according to you guys?
guys my gps didint work.then i use google map to show my location it cant.how can i fix it?
So I tried out the gps software with the dhd and none of it seemed to work, either I couldnt get a data connection (currently using a prepaid plan and have no credit) or it couldnt get a lock or the maps werent there. I was wondering if it were possible to use something like Garmin Mobile on an android platform or if anyone knows if Garmin can be ported over or if Garmin is going to make an android version of their gps software?
If your device finds GPS it is show satellite icon, make sure you already turn the GPS on.
I use igo motonav, it is very nice and perfect GPS navigation

how do i get any compass app to work on my hd2 wp7 yuki-xbmod rom besides htc compass . i have try to install compass 7 app but it says my hd2 does not have compass api support. thanks on anvance for any help
Not possible yet and I also wonder why...
Don't know if they use on other WP7 devices an other component than the GSensor...
Because on the HD2 the GSensor is used for the compass...
