This ROM has been available linked to the Wiki here for a while already. However, this is the official download site for the European HTC P3600, I entered in my IMEI number and downloaded it just for the fun of it.

This is the latest one dated 03.04.07. or there abouts.
This link also gives you free TomTom 6 with one free city map but you can key**n the other maps.

Arent they they the same? your link and the link inside that thread? I dont get it.
BTW it says taster on the site, I assumed its tester or something. A test app perhaps. anyway the link you gave and the link inside are identical.
Fair enough. This link may have been posted before. I was told that there was the new update relesed on 03.04.07 and it was more to alert people of that fact. The link will obviously point to the same place because any new ROM update will be posted there. So if you alrady new this than great and if you did not know about this then even better. I was just trying to help.

Taster??? Do you mean for TomTom? Taster probably means that they will give you a small map to get you interested in TomTom, then you'll have to buy more maps.

Hi all
Does anyone know any other location to download tomtom. I tried to download from this euro site, but it wont let me. It says my s/n is invalid. I'm guessing it's because I did not purchase the phone in Europe (I'm from Australia).
Thanks

I have not tested this TomTom yet but from what I understud you get fully functional software with one free city map. So if you use key gen for the other maps you should have official version of TomTom for trinity.
BUT I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS YET BECAUSE I AM WAITING FOR MY SD CARD TO ARRIVE!

This is what it is saying on the website:
New features and improvements are available with this operating software update.
GPS receiver capability enabled.
Browser improvements (mobile CSS, WAP, Iframe, etc.).
Bluetooth improvements.
New data network icons to differentiate between GPRS, EDGE, 3G and HSDPA connections.
Streaming player added.
and that is what I know about it.
Just updated and...
Hi,

You should have GPS settings under preferances. If you go in there and configure under "other NEMA" receiver. On mine it is on com9. It takes a couple of minutes to get "cold" start nut if little yelow and black circle in the top right corner is rotating it has found your GPS receiver. All you have to do now is go outside ar go very near to the window and wait for the "fix".

i think he has the same problem as me. latest belgian rom installed. tomtom 6.030 installed but that is a red herring.
the problem is that the GPS settings in system has disappeared! it was there a few days ago and now its just missing!
i mean start > system tab > GPS (that GPS config software has gone missing!!!)
SOLUTION:
Enable GPS Icon in Setting Tab
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings
1. Delete the DWORD marked Hide (if present)
2. Delete the DWORD marked Redirect (if present)
3. Add a DWORD called Group and give it a value of 2
4. Soft reset the device.
Now check in connections...

Maybe because there is no official HTC update for your geographic area...
So far, only DOPOD's clients from Australia New-Zeland, and South-East Asia have got an official update to go further than 1.23.XX series.
But to get back to the point, GPS should already be activated on your ROM.
Further upgrade issue, it's more about, having WM6 or not having it...
Hello all,
I have searched the forums and drawn a blank (have found some other useful things though). I am looking for a program that just displays GPS co-ordinates, speed and altitude in a very simple interface. I have tried WMminiGPS and really like it, but the altitude doesn't work. Can anyone recommend a similar program?
Thanks in advance.

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
br
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.
Needing help again from my fave community ....
Long story made short; I'm Italian but now live in Egypt, some of you may or may not know that Egypt prohibited any kind of gps map.
what I was looking for was a gps application that would tracK and\or record my route, to then reproduce it as if on a map ( turn left, right etc....)
Is there any app (maybe tomtom or igo or garmin ) capable of doing this.
I searched and found a prog called trackr! but 1 its format is .gpx (not compatible with tomtom for ex.) plus it does part of the job online !
thnx in advance everybody !
EDIT: I read around and it seems igo can record ur route and of course guide u back through it...yet it won't launch without a map, is there a base map of africa for example ? , i really know there is no egypt map, i just want to record my "offroad" routes!
You can get fitness apps that will track where you run or cycle via gps (cant remember names off the top of my head just now sorry) they track where you run/walk/cycle and I guess go by car (?)... not sure if they are what you are after but sounds like it might be...
thnx for the reply...really don't know if that will help cause actually i don't know if those will give any kind of "voice" assistance like a standard gps ....again thnx
Hi,
I was looking for GPS Software a couple of month ago. I needed a tool for tracking and calibrating an image (maps, pics and so on). So you can scan a paper map and bulid your own map.
I only found one program. It called GLOPUS. (www.glopus.de) But it is only aviable in german. But it hasn't got any voice command or navigation function. It just shows the route on the selfmade map and other POI (if you have the coordinates).
Bye
donpepe23
wow....pity it's in german cause that sounds gr8...thought yet far from what i need, i'm sure somewhere there is a program that would just track my route to a place and guide me back to it
I tried another app "trackme" I think maybe this is what i need but its not working, it gives a net framework error though i', on touch-it 4.1 rc1 rom which has it pre-installed !!
I dont think it will be trouble if I use my X1 with Garmin in Egypt... do you??
Lots of friends from Egypt are getting thier Mobiles from outside because of the stupid GPS ban... I dont get it why is it banned there while I can still see everything on google maps!
no it will not be trouble, but u'll find no maps ...that's the whole point ....i really don't get why their banning it, that's not my problem, i just want to have fun with my gps !!
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
