Is there anybody being succesfull in transferring the I-GO 2008 navigation software into Diamond Touch? I heard that it was possible and worked but I could not figure out how. I found in forums how to transfer the software to my PDA with Win mobile 5, but the same process was not succesfull with Diamond. My Rom is 1.93.479.3. The app would not finnish instalation and cannot be run after (it just would not start, though it appears in PROGRAMMS as if installed... Any advice?
Thanks.

you type postcodes in the CITY box mate
i've got full 7 digit postcodes in uk, BUT not for 2008.4 map only 2008.1
Igo8 will do 7 digit postcode
to get the 7 digit postcode search working in IGO8 do the following
1: download the postcode enabled map from here --> http://rapidshare.com/files/166750423/UnitedKingdom7PPC.rar.
2: after putting it in the map folder in your igo8.content/maps folder start the app
3: when running click find and in the box UNDER United kingdom, the one where you normally put the city put your post code, but (and this is important) you MUST put a space in it, eg DL17 2HR . if you try and put DL172HR you will only get as far as DL172 then it will jump to the 5 digit address.
I have this running on a Touch HD with full postcode search and it works a treat with 3D landscapes, looks very nice.
Have fun

Can't install new maps 7.25 on Cruise

Hello everybody,
first of all, this is not a post about warez, since I am talking about new western europe map v. 7.25 I have just bought from tomtom.com.
Well, before I had installed on my Cruise tomtom navigator 7 that I got from this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401679), and everything seemed to work fine: I could download the free test map, and also free voices. Then I wanted to buy and install the new western europe (v. 7.25) map, that is available from a few days on tomtom.com. To this purpose I created an account, registerd my device as a TomTom navigator 7 one, and then went to map shop and bought the map. Then I downloaded and installed tomtom home 2.3, and I tried to install the map on my device using it, I can see the map I bought but I am getting an error message that says that the map is not compatible with my device.
Can anybody help me?
Sorry for error!
Remember no warez here, edit your post.

Have you tried copying the card to your sd card? Just to the root folder?
As far as I know there might be still a problem with activating the card.

I cannot just download the map, the only way tomtom allows you to download it is using tomtom home, which says that my device is not compatible, so I have nothing to copy anywhere..
I don't know but is there a update or new version to make Tomtom, Tomtom 7.25?
Hey mate, sorry to hear that you have problems. I would like to know if there is a way to get this working myself before I buy a ver7 map myself.
I know there has been someone else getting this to work in this forum. Maybe you an set the device to something else for the SD Card in TomTom Home. If it doesn't work while the card is in the phone maybe try it in a card reader. Think that should work. Let me know if you have success
Cheers
I'm running TomTom 7.450 on my Polaris, and I'm using the Map of Norway,
Finland, Sweden and Denmark v7.20 without problems. The maps need to be purchased and installed via TomTom Home 2 (Set your device av TomTom 720).

These maps are not anymore available for TomTom 720, at least in Italian site now if you register as 720 you can only buy 8.10 maps that are not compatible with tomtom7, at least to my knowledge. If you register as a tomtom 7 device, as for example a vodafone touch diamond, you can buy 7.25 maps, as I have done, but then you get the "impossible to install on this device" error if you try to download them.
may be it is not for One
Not completely sure but maps for One devices are not always compatile with normal PPC tomtom version.
I had this kind of problem with Tomtom 6 - bought maps for tomtom 6 One and those were incompatible.
After talking to Tomtom support they changed my subscription.
Unfortunately I never used tomtomv7 but instead got iGo8.

Igo Canada Map

Hello,
I just got my HTC HD2 with IGo 8 installed on the memory card. IGo GPS software came with the USA maps. I'm trying to purchase additionnal maps (Canada for example) from the official naviextras.com website. They ask me for wich device I want the maps but HTC devices are not listed :-(
What other device is like the HTCs ? I could get the maps designed to work on this other device and have them installed on my HTC HD2.
Any idea which device is "compatible" ? My actual maps are .fbl files (eg: USA_Alabama83TA_2009.06_090710.fbl)
Thank for your answers

In mho it is not relevant what device your using. All Igo8 maps can be used (I do/did), the resolution and viewport is handled by the navigation software (like it should be)

[Q] CoPilot on Android Quesions...

I need some decent sat nav software on my HD2 Android phone for navigation and speed camera alerts (pocketgps). No I'm currently using TomTom in Winmo but that isn't available for Android. i have used CoPilot in the past and one thing that used to really annoy me was when it announce speed cameras as 'Safety Cameras'...Does it still do this? Is there a way to change it?
When i install the maps are they installed in my data.img or just on the storage card?
When I upgrade android does it still just work if i use the same data.img file? How about if I change to a complete new build where i can't transfer the data.img file?
Its a piad application and I don't want to waste my money if I can't use it after upgrading andriod.
Also is there a way of importing all my TomTom POIs to CoPilot?
Thanks in advance

[Q] 3rd party GPS app limited by the low resolution?

Hello forum
I just purchased a flipout for my frd as a X'mas gift (Merry X'max to everyone). However, my frd is very much relay on the GPS on hes phone to drive. He've got the tomtom on his HTC touch HD, n I was wondering if I can find any android apps to suit hes use.
After a bit of google, I found out that there r quite a range of android apps for this purpose, but now, I just worried that due the low screen resolution of the flipout, those GSP apps mite not be able to run properly.
Is there anyone here have the experience of runing one of those 3rd party GPS app on their flipout? if so, plz which one is that? or do u guys think that it is possible for filpout to preform such task?
thank you very very much!
iGo and Ndrive have been ported to the flipout screen
