WM5 TomTom 5 on SX66- not finding maps

Hey guys. I installed the update to 5.21 for PPC, downloaded from the tomtom website, and once it was installed, it would not find the maps. It goes through the motions of selecting my other prefs and the voice, but now when I launch the Navigator.exe, I get a screen that says no maps. I had it working previously on my wm2003se, although I think they may not have been the "correct' maps.
Is there anyone who can provide me with the US-Massachusetts, US-New hampshire, US-Maine, US-RH and US- Conn maps??

need gps with malta map. any help???

i would like to have a gps program with maps of malta, can anyone suggest from where i can find one?

If Tomtom o IGo does not have maps for yor country, use a program like GPSTuner in which you can create maps for any area in the world taking them from Google Maps.
You can also use Google Maps mobile or Windows Live Search to load maps on the go and perform local search.

Maltese maps
Hello daniell
If you are from Malta you can check at Medcom Gzira (the one infront of Paul and Rocco carwash in Testaferrata street). I know a person who have a kaiser and installed Garmin software with maltese maps and he's using gps without problems. Only drawback is that maps and software are about the old LM40.
Regards,

I broguth the HTC Kaiser, and i though i have 1 free download from TOmTom, but i cannot seem to find where i cna get this download, can someone tell me, thanks

There are Garmin Navigator Maps for Malta, which are able to route you to your destination (not only showing your position on the map).

TomTom6 - how to turn on GPS

I've searched the forums and bnot found the answer to this question.
I've installed TT6 on my diamond, and it works fine, however, in order for it to get a GPS signal, I had to run google maps, and then in the menu click the turn on GPS. Presumably to turn off the GPS I'll have to go into google maps again and turn off the GPS. Is there some way of turning the GPS receiver on and off without having to go into google maps?
Thanks

Hope you don't mind me asking but how did you get GPS to work with Google maps?
When I try i get the following error;
"This programme require a data connection. Please contact your carrier or visit www.google.co.uk/gmm/configure.html on your computer for more info.
(Error: connectError [183])
With Quit or Retry the only options.
Sorry

@mcvpjd3: Believe me, you do NOT want that thing running all the time because if you do, your battery will be dead in under 2 and a half hours!!
Google maps should turn the GPS reciever on and off automatically when it is needed, as should TomTom or any other GPS program.
When nothing is talking to the GPS reciever, it goes into powersave and turns off.
Google maps has the option to use it with or without GPS and so you have the option to turn it on and off, but it should be turned off automatcially when you close the program.
@so3:does the message "This programme requires a data connection" not give you a clue?
You need a data connection for google maps to work. Just like google maps and google earth on the PC, it downloads the map and satellite images from google over the internet. If you haven't got a data connection, then it won't even start up. Sorry for the sarcasm, but that message is really self explanatory and it really does tell you what the problem is. of course, if there is more info that you have not given that would help us figure it out a bit more, i apologise and please feel free to elaborate.

Lol you're so funny...
anyway I gave up getting TomTom 6 to work on my diamond.. I just installed TomTom Navigator 7 instead and it works fine...

How did you get TomTom Navigator 7 to work with your TomTom 6 maps, or are you just restricted to the single city trial that comes with it?
I found no mention on the TomTom site on version 7 and I have no way to buy maps or switch to another map within the software.
My TomTom home on my PC recognises it as a tomtom device and lets me load my Western Europe maps onto it, but I don't have the option to switch to the maps from within the software? Instead I have a button that has Voucher written on it that takes me to some HTC website???

just restricted to the single city map as far as i know. I don't think 7 likes the version 6 maps, but if you have any version 7 maps, they should work fine.
As for TT6, I did get that working on the diamond, but i had to set 'other NMEA' as the device type, 9600 as the baud rate and then com 4 as the com port.
Then seemed to work on and off, but got much better when i turned aGPS off using schaps advanced config.
TT7 just picked up the internal GPS chip staright away, and this thing is SOOOOO much faster than my Athena to get a signal it is unbelievebale!

Thanks - any idea how I can buy the v7 maps? I'm actually quite annoyed because I bought a brand new copy of TT6 2 days ago and it came with version 6.6 maps, and the tomtom site is now trying to sell me an 'upgrade' to v6.75 maps, but it won't let me buy v7 :s

You can't use the V7 maps within tt6. You can buy the v7 maps thru the tomtom store but then you need tomtom 7 wich isn't official released yet. If you have tt7 you can use the old v6 maps.

Hmm... Well I have a licensed version of tt6 with licensed tt6 maps (v6.6) but I can tell you for sure that these v6.6 maps don't work with tt7.
With tt7 installed, my tomtom home recognises the tomtom device and lets me copy the maps to it, but they don't appear as an option under manage maps in tt7. The only option I have is the map I downloaded from HTC or a button that says 'voucher' which takes me to the same download page on the HTC website. It also doesn't recognise 6.75 maps so unless someone is doing something dodgy to get the maps to work, I can't see how it will work with them.
I managed to get tt6 working on my diamond now though, so I'm happy for the moment. I don't think the extra features of tt7 are worth it but maybe I'll get an upgrade if they offer one when it's officially released.

Did you ever configure the GPS option in TT6? InTT7 it defaults to internal GPS receiver anyway.

TT7 gps is very fast compared to tt6. About the maps: Do a search on the internet. 6.75 works with tt7 but we are not allowed to talk about this (see the closed topic over tt7).

Probably
Generally it's not wise to use warez, let alone admit that you are. Regardless, it might be best to not mention it for the fact that you may be suspended / banned as other posts stipulate.

I had TR home installed on my PC - V1.5 (with TT app version as 6.010 and maps. I updated to version the latest version of the maps for version 6 and then install the Cab of 7 on my device over-writing the 6 app.
All works well.

About Google Map...

I was wondering is there a way that i could just get a full map of my area so i don't need wifi to use it? or is there a way to save the parts i've searched for while i'm on wifi so when i'm driving i could used the saved maps? or would there just be a better program other then tomtom7 because i can't seem to get the maps working.

Depends on where you are located (country/territory) really... Some navigation applications focus on specific regions. Where are you?

I live in Canada more specific Toronto so i would be fine with just Toronto maps

Can anyone answer me ?

There is no such thing , or it wouldn't be free...
You do need 3G with a all-you-can-eat plan as downloading google maps takes pretty much k-bytes when you download in real-time the Satelite maps (much less if you download the street map of course) , and I presume they are even only put in a temp cache and not "stored" in the application for re-usage.
(not sure about this as I flash my device constantly as for Google Maps).

I agree about the all-you-can-eat plan for GPS. In fact, you're better off getting an unlimited plan anyway if you really want to get the best your Diamond has to offer.

So what other good GPS programs are there other then Tomtom with CA maps?

I use Garmin Mobile XT and it is absolutely brilliant!

Google Map
Hi
The diamond has GPS, can google map use GPS to get the map or do I need wifi or 3G data plan? I did see options to use GPS but it connects to my phone line using GPRS, since GPS is free but not able to get it to work using mapking either..
Anyone have this problem?
Thanks

I feel you don't understand the basic difference between GPS and GPRS
See all what GPS does is connect to the satellites and get your longitude and latitude data .. this data is traced on the maps by an GPS application like google maps , Tom Tom , Mapking ..etc ..so you need to download the maps either using EDGE/3G or store them on your phone/internal memory ..
Hope you get the idea ..

Google Map
Ic, then can I store the whole map of my area with google map? like I do with Mapking and use GPS to find my location in google map, like a do with mapking?

Hi Guys,
Wanted to put you in the right direction; check out terracrosser.
Just installed it and I will be testing it out on a bicycle trip, but seems to be perfect for this.
There is also another thread about it:

I seem to remember that map4pda stores the maps locally, you download the ones you want via your home wifi etc and it will look in its cache before downloading them from the web when you're away from home.
Tip: make sure you download *all* the map tiles at the resolutions you need to avoid data charges.

Best GPS Software for walking

Hi guys,
Whats the best GPS software IYO for walking with around cities etc?

Garmin XT for mobile!
Working well even you are on the boat!

I use the UK A-Z maps. Work really well with Diamond GPS. They are traditional top down perspective only, but I'm used to that - and I have London and GB maps.

What's wrong with google maps?
It's got GPS and you can gives directions, also it's freeeeeee

I use Memory Map which installs a version on the phone to use the GPS and view OS maps which are crystal clear with the screen resolution.

I take it back, it's pants!!!!!

I use TrekBuddy, which is a Java application that also works on normal mobile phones.
There are tools for making maps from various sources and you can either record the current location as a waypoint or display locations that you have prepared beforehand (e.g. free WiFi Hotspots).

OziExplorer.
