Does anyone have a XDAIIi and a TomTom go 500 working properly through bluetooth so that all the wireless internet functionality works properly? By that, I mean all the TomTom PLUS stuff - weather/traffic etc.
I just got a TomTom and am totally confusing myself as to how to set up the two working together. The TomTom seems to detect the XDA, but I have real problems setting up the wireless internet settings which will allow me to use all these extra features.
Any tips or pointers? I struggle to find any information anywhere on the internet - most people who have a XDA seem to have the TomTom PDA Navigators, but I wanted a standalone all-in-one TomTom that will still be OK when my phone/pda is upgraded.
Hi All - I can see a few post about the above software. Tom Tom are saying that V6 Navigator is not officially compatible with the Kaiser. Can I assume because there are manly positive posts about it here that it DOES work OK on the device?
I'm with O2 and although they sell (and I've bought) 'Co-Pilot', I been having a few problems with it triggering the message 'the server has been reset...blah...blah...all your data needs to be resynchronised' when I try and sync the device with Outlook. The resyncing is a L-o-n-g process and it wipes out all my quick dials too - ouch!) Co-Pilot Support have confirmed it's a known problem on some devices..so I'm not looking to fix this as O2 are sending me a credit)
Thanks
I got the "o2 Stellar" yesterday and TomTom 6 works fine.. Just find which com port the GPS is assigned to in Start -> Settings -> External GPS .. Then just assign TomTom to that com port via the configuration - I used "Other NMEA GPS Receiver" but I dont think it matters which option you choose aslong as you choose the right port.
TomTom 6 works brilliantly well on my "Stellar".
Got TomTom working on my AT&T Tilt. Pick other GPS receiver, Baud 9600, COM4.
Well, seeing as HTC sell the Tytn II with a trial version of Tomtom, you would rather expect it to work!
Got tomtom v6 working perfectly fine on my tilt with duttys v3 rom. Like posted above, most likely its com 4. Initial start takes about 30 seconds but after that full blast reception.

TomTom is not trial, it's special Kaiser full version.

The Tytn II ships with a "Taster" edition of TomTom 6 (version 6.032). Thus I expect TomTom support the platform
Actually I have a "Pukka" copy of the "Navigator 6 software and maps of western Europe", and have raised a few calls about the software (the version on my CD shipped with V6.010, so I asked for latest specifying my exact device, and was pointed to the "downloads" area of tomtom website (version 6.030 is there))

T-Mobile now offer Co-Pilot with its Tytn II varient (MDA Vario III)
Having had a quick "play" with a co-pilot system, it looked fancier (and has a better "Licensing" policy than tomtom) however I preferred the TomTom software (my Girlfriend has an old TomTom Go)
I have TomTom traffic and Safety camera's options purchase and find these excellent
If you can test co-pilot you might prefer it. I preferred tomtom
Always worked flawlessly on my HTC Kaiser, never messed with gps settings either
Tom Tom and Co Pilot
Thanks everyone. I'm going to purchase Tom Tom as Co Pilot caused a few serious problems on my Stellar
But you should have TomTom already if you own Kaiser device...

true... plus, there's always *other* ways of getting TOMTOM
Older version also works, but the 6.032 has "Build-in GPS receiver" option. In older you need to manually set it up as other NMEA receiver. In Poland EraGSM (soon to be T-Mobile) provide Vario III with full version of TT6 with regional maps.
I'm running TomTom that's "for the Trinity" from HTC e-club. I used the same thing on my Trinity and it auto picked up the internal, and has internal GPS setting. On my Tilt, this option is not available, but picked other, baud 9600, com 4 and it works nice and fast

Hey all, been running tomtom 6.032 on my o2 Stellar with absolutly no problems at all!! It is by far the best sat nav for pocket pc. I have tried most programs out there but tomtom wins hands down for speed, stability and performance.. 10/10
I agree duncstar- have tried iGo and Navigon but TomTom is far quicker and more stable.
Out of interest, can someone calify the differences between the TomTom Taster and regular TomTom?

No its not - its not special in any way. You have to buy any of the maps you wish to use (except for the 'free' city map they give you).
I installed TomTom Navigator 6 V6.010 with 6.75 US/Canada maps into my Tilt...everything works except one feature in the point of interest. It doesn't list nearby "stores" in the Los Angeles. Only show Apple etc. stores that are in the east coast, what gives? What can I do to fix this? thanks
Thanks for help

Thanks Duncstar for your help. Especially as you're an O2 user in the UK too Thanks also to everyone else who offered advice and pointed me in the right direction. I did read some stuff about 'maps not showing up'. Duncstar - Did yours work literally 'straight out of the box'?
I have an imported Kaiser here in the US. Tom Tom works perfectly. I bought the usa/canada maps from amazon for $125. Installed it and no issues. I did have to select the gps, used 57,000 baud, com 4 and it's great.
There's also a "quick gps" application on your phone. Use it to help zero in the gps even better. It wants to run once a week.
I also bought and installed the Mr. T voice and I'm officially the biggest nerd on my block now. Turn Right Sucka!
Oh yeah, I"m not sure which version of TT6 was on my kaiser. When I installed the purchased software, it loaded up version 6.010. I had to go to tom tom's website and download the 6.030 version.
Anyone out there got the same set up as me?
I dumped a blackberry to get the Treo, however I have a problem that Tomtom are not able to help with ( I have asked them and got the standard " Treo is not compatible,,,,").
I can use the Tomtom bluetooth to make calls via the Treo, using the Tomtom's phone address/number book.
I cannot get the Tomtom to download the Treo phone book and when I tell it to do so it deletes the Tomtom info and I end up with no numbers is the tomtom.
Is there a tweak to the bluetooth settings so the TT will know what to download, I think this is the problem in that Treo possibly calls phone number information something els and not the same as Nokia/Blackberrys do.
thanks

After calling TomTom and HTC I understood that TomTom6 won't work properly on the Diamond. Calling my supplier I got the message that it will at least take 2 months before there will be navigationsoftware which will support the Diamond. Meanwhile you don't have an usable GPS. I don't like that and hope that you will share proven settings/tweaks that enable navigation software like TomTom, Garmin, Route66 etc. Please also share solutions for issues like battery drainige and others. Tnx.
There is mentioned how to configure TomTom 6 at least 3-4 times at Diamond - General section of this forum ... what about trying to search or should I do that instead of you ?
Other NMEA GPS receiver
Baud Speed 9600
Com 4
do you mean to tell me, that it is not working on my diamond.?
strange i used it yesterday and everything was fine............
hi,
I'm a ROgers diamond user.
tomtom 7 is installd, and it always ask me if i'm inside a building.
i check with GPS status in tomtom, same thinh, ( are you inside a building) poor gps reception...
i was outside tryin to connect...i wonder if someone got this issue.
thank you,
Usually when TomTom says, "poor reception, are u in a building" That tells me that it has been configured properly and it's searching for a signal.
Couple of things...
1) in Configure (found under change preferrences///show GPS Status)
• select built-in GPS receiver (this will automatize the config)
2) update QuickGPS
3) Try the above first .....next step is to HardSPL your device first and try and another Radio.
I'm currently using 1.08.25.20. I also had 1.00.25.08 and this worked fine for GPS as well.

I'm using 1.00.25.06 - HardSPL would not break my current rom ?
i ran into the same problem a while back
but as i was planning an update anyway, i did a hard-reset, installed new hard-spl and updated rom and radio
works like a charm again
if it ever occurs again, i'll do the same process... having the latest updates is always good
search for "htc gps tool"
some other weird thing is when I'm in my home town (or near my house) it seems my tt7 gets a quicker fix than otherwise I'm further away from home...

thats the main tool ...thx a lot
other thing i´ve read that have worked is to try to change the receptor gps in the Tom tom configuration to:
Other GPS NMEA / 4800 / com4
I had the same problem. My GPS has been working fine since I disabled A-GPS.
i have the same problem........and i have found why. It was because i have changed the battery 900m Ah to an 1800 mAh....
with the larger battery, it was unable to have a fix.......and when i replace the little battery....all become in order.....( and i have the same issue with all roms i tried (general and radio)).....
I haven t found solution
