I ordered Co-Pilot 7 Live for my Touch HD. Just wondering if anyone else out there has used this on the Touch HD? Can you tell me how it looks and how well it functions on the HD?
I've been looking for something better than google and Windows live search maps. Live search works good, but the font size is very small to see and you have to download the maps as you go off the internet like googlemaps. I'd love to have TomTom 7 with North America maps, but thats hard to get a hold of over here.
I had seen an internet article on the Touch HD of it being displayed at a copilot booth talking about how they are working on a wvga version update for the HD.http://blog.copilotlive.net/?p=208
Thanks for any input!
I've seen it on a X1, so it should be no problem cause it has the same res, right?

There are a few issues that ALK are working on, however they could not give me a release date. From what i understand, the map is strecthed to fit the display.

Dear Mike,
Thank you for contacting CoPilot Technical Support.
With regards to your query we inform you that the HTC Touch HD is not fully compatible, we are working to solve the compatibility issue and we will update our compatibility list as soon as we solve it.
If you have any further questions, or feel that this incident has not been resolved to your satisfaction, please do not hesitate to bring this to our attention.
Regards,

Well yes the Copilot 7 runs on the HD, and yes the screen is slightly stretched to fit.
My bigger concern seems to be that my position is always about 200m off the true position. Note that this is NOT a lag problem, but a positioning problem. It marks my position always about 200m to the east of where I really am (even if I am standing still). And this is when the HD is showing a strong connection to 7 or more GPS satellites.
Anyone know a way to put an offset into the programme?

wow..I hope your experience is an anomaly..I ordered copilot 7 and should come in today. Hopefully a compatability fix is all thats needed. The only issue the Blackstone Wiki mentions is that the screen is slightly stretched to fit.

Why would you update that to Wiki when only one person has experienced this problem? Don't we need multiple people reporting an issue before you put it up in Wiki stone?
I will be receiving my copilot 7 today and will report how well it works on accuracy and compatability.
I provided the original information about the slight screen stretching and can confirm that aside from this very minor issue it works flawlessly on my HD. I noticed no offset (not an application issue anyway, as confirmed by the user reporting it) and no significant lag. Most of the time it was at most a car length or two behind my actual position and gave me no problems navigating
I think you have made a solid purchase - enjoy!

We already have two independent users reporting an issue of sorts with this title.
As someone reports an item I update the Wiki ~ just as when you provide your information this too will get added.
Correct me if I am wrong but what you are saying is if an individual reports a software title misbehaving I should ignore it and wait for another person to make a report.
This would not work:-
1. I don't have the time to check back through all previous other answers to see if someone has already reported a problem.
2. By placing it in the Wiki other users get to see the information immediately instead of having to wait goodness how long before another makes a report.

tested copilot 7 just a while ago and there is no positioning problem mentioned above. My position was always on spot with the road I was on. There was an acceptable a 1-2 second lag from my current position when passing a road. Just like it is in windows live search maps and the same on my Kaiser.
There was some streching of the screen a little to fit the HD's screen, but not bad at all.
I copied all the map info over to my 8GB microsd card.
I have added the comments utvol06 kindly gave to the Wiki.
This now gives us three independant comments.

I appreciate it.
I have a rather odd issue running Copilot 7, in that it seems to over-ride the system Power settings and keep the HD on indefinitely, even after Copilot has been closed. eg. I set the Touch HD to switch off the screen after 30s, and turn off after 1min, but if I run Copilot, whatever I do in the Device->Backlight settings, the screen will fade, but the device never switches off, even when the app's been closed. If I go back into the System Power settings and reset 30s/1min it's OK again. Any ideas? Please?
Co-Pilot 7 screen resolution fix
Within the software compatibility wiki there is a note to say there is a download to fix the screen res issue on HTC Touch HD.
I have just called ALK to ask about this, and there is, indeed, an update. However, they also warn that the Desktop app which runs on your PC will no longer work if the new fix is installed.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to silve my problem with the copilot 7 icons . since i moved to HD
CoPilot 7 works flawlessley on my THD.
I didn't install the original version from the CD, I emailed ALK support and asked them for the THD compatibility version which I installed straight away. There is no resolution issues or 'stretching'. GPS fix is almost instant and I've never had any probs at all so far.
Good piece of software imo!

Hi
Would just like to confirm what Gulioth says.
I bought the retail version in December and it worked fine. I emailed Alk support last month to ask about the HD specific version and got a reply and a download link the same day. Seems to be a little quicker and the graphics are much nicer.
I've tried it with several ROM versions and it's worked great with the exception of a less stable WinMo 6.5 installation(I forget which tbh).
Would certainly repurchase at upgrade time and recommend product and service.
HTH.
CP7 Safety CAmera Updates
Glad to hear it pjfriend
Has anyone had any problems updating your speed camera database?
ALK's instructions don't work - i've downloaded latest update, unzipped and extracted and placed it in the CoPilot>EU>SAVE folder but I get no indication that it's doing the 'integrating update' part when CoPilot loads. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong...
I know in CP6 you had to delete all files beginning with AO* and place the extracted safetycam file in the Save folder but I can't see any AO* files in either SAVE folders.
Be interested to hear anyones thoughts on that!
What details info did ALK need from the 'normal' CP7 to change it to the HD version?
Thanks

Really no more lag ?
Anybody knows, where can we can find this version ?
Thanks for this news man.
I just checked TomTom Home => but there are no updates for me.
I have Version7.910(9185) installed.
btw: I hope you know what GPS Lag means.
You make 90 degree Curve and on the Display it shows up in 2-3 sec.
Is it possible to have a cruise-ripped version of this build? Or is it warez related? :?
I'm using 7.910(9185) with almost zero lag. My true position is reflected by the tip of the arrow, not the centre but map response on tight corners is perfectly adequate for navigation and almost as good as the Navteq system fitted to my car.
what number/versions of maps do work with tomtom7.915.916?
Could you please share? If it's still a free soft.
Thats the Problem - your GPS position in TomTum shuld NOT be the top of the Arrow.
And be honest, how accurate is it in a curve or a Roundabout.
I use my Diamond while driving with an external bluetooth mouse and it is 5m accurate an zero lag.
The Problem is imho not the Software but the way qualcomm is pre-processing the NMEA Data.
Same experience for me
No more lags, fast fix. Before; I sometimes had to wait 20 min for a fix. Now 1-2 min. Must say I updated rom (_NLD_2.03.) and TomTom together.
here is a RS link for the new tomtom
MOD EDIT: No warez
Jut cant figure out how to install to internal memory. Link Include QVGA and VGA
for sure i know what a lag is, i use a smartphone since tomtom 5 on my first qtek...and diamnod is my 11th smartphone so if i say i have a lag i assume to know what i say
i also never post a link because of respect of rules in xda-dev ! google is the friends of all of us for testing purpose only
but i thought it was a good information to share because i really have no lags with this version and my diamond, where i am with my car is correct with the tomtom from NOW
maybe it could be the same for you, for me it's ok i can say
I'm using version 7.450.9028.
How can I upgrade to the lastest version?
Thanks
Installed on HD, the lag is minor than other versions, but still exists
Works great
hi devilmc,
for me nothing special to do, just installed over the old one, start it, internal gps correctly seen in my settings, fix very quick

Edit : between your message and your modification seems to be ok, that why i edit also

Did you have to reactivate your maps?
nothing about it just install and it's ok
Surely there must always be a lag of some size or other, otherwise Tomtom will have to predict where you are going? And I presume the lag time must increase with speed, as the processing time must be standard no matter how fast you are going?
Anyway I've been using version 7.450.9028 with 720.1802 maps for some time, and, on a straight road my car is more or less at the point of the arrow at 70mph, so I will try this new version and see how much better it is
yes sure you are right, but i can say than with some pna of my friends tested yesterday (one tomtom 920, one garmin) the diamond and this tomtom is the same, it's a normal software for gps now and no frustrations anymore.
What this version seems to never do :
the coffee
predict where you will be one minutes after in the future

Correct size of POI:s Icons
Hi!
First of all, TomTom for Diamond has been concidered NOT to be warez in the past. Why the change?
Second, in the 7.915.916 at last tha POI iocns does show up in the "normal" size as in the QVGA versions. Big thanks TomTom!
Third, I also wanted an installation on the interna storage. But since there was'nt any way to change during the installation, I simply moved all the files and maps, besides CurrenMap and UserPatch in Program/Navigator to the internal memory and created a Program/Navigator folder. Works nice, just the icon under programs now is wrongly linked and needs to be changed.
Finally got my xperia back from repair and put tomtom 7 back on it. I also installed the on the road panel, but it only lets me choose google maps as the nav software.
Does anyone have TomTom working as the default navigator???
I will try to get it working over the weekend, but xda developers always seems to have someone a lot smarter than me who figures it out in half the time.
Thanks,
Buzz
Please keep us updated with your work. googlemap does not work for me since I dont have an internet plan.
Yep … and Nav N Go iGO 8.3.
Thanks
i have Garmin Mobile TX and it doesnt work either
What if have read it that it only works with Google Maps and Wayfinder from SE.
But maybe its hackable and we can add some others.
Going to look if i can find anything to change
did anyone manage to get tomtom or garmin working with this panel ?
I also would like to change it
same problem here.... also having issues getting the recorded trip showing in google maps. by directlink as wel as by mail (which seems to send only your text-trip, not a set of coordinates)
does anyone found a solution for that problem? would like to use tomtom with that panel too.
Look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513143&highlight=panel+on-the-road
Thank you! Works!
Hello all,
bought Snap recently and enjoying it a lot, however there are some questions I was unable to find answers for. Could you guys please advise:
Why there's no ClearType (font antialiasing) turned on by default as on my HTC Vox (s710) - how can I turn it on?
REALLY annoying - unread emails and SMS are not displayed in bold! Is there a way to turn this on via registry/smth?
Major for me - I need Russian and Spanish input languages - how can I install them? I've installed some of found .cabs but they are likely for different phones as they mess up special buttons layout;
When I receive SMS, my screen does not lighten unlike on my Vox, is there a way to change it?
I was unable to get my GPS to work. Is there a way to test it not using Google maps to understand 100% if it's just faulty GPS module?
I can't get ActiveSync USB to PC mode to work under Windows 7 - it works only after I change it to DataTransfer mode. Is it a common issue?
I would be really grateful if the group can help with at least some of the questions. Thanks in advance!
OK, I found the Clear Type registry hack but the rest of the issues still remain. Can you advise on the rest of the list, please?
Thank you.
sorry wrong post
Anybody? I can't believe there are no experts using the phone.
Hi,
First of all, I am no expert, but I can indicate you that :
- My unread messages are displayed in bold, so you got to have an option to set.
- In the profile settings, you can set the type of alarm you want for each type of message ; screen light could be one of them
- you have plenty of programs that use a GPS ; look up any WinMo GPS app on this forum, it doesn't have to be designed for the Snap (any QVGA version will do). Try this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522915&page=3
I guess you could you a free app, for instance Bing Maps, to test you GPS receiver.
Sync under 7 : if it does work at the en of the day, what's your problem ?
I use tomtom for GPS, works great.
Hi there, i've found a few programs that are free for GPS. I tinker with them, when I question if mine is working and one is jst a must have program. They are; QuickGPS, WMMiniGPS, HTC GPS Tool, GPS Test, and GPS Nut. Like I said they're all free programs and QuickGPS, is probably on you ROM.
Good Luck
JD
Good morning ,
I allow myself to contact you because I bought this android car last summer for my renault megane 3
I have many qustions :
-Are there updates available? Because when I try to search for shift it finds nothing
- possible to deactivate the black screen when I backtrack? (I did not connect the camera because it is useless to me)
- Which gps application should be installed to have the gps on the default theme? Indeed I can't put google maps and waze works badly on the theme.
I found an example photo on the internet. I'm talking about the top right location for the gps
Thank you so much
