Just have purchased my new toy here in Thailand. Everything works fine exept the Garmin Mobile 10 XT software delivered with the Kaiser here in Thailand. The Garmin sw is not able to find the intenal GPS receiver. (com4 as recommended on the web by several poeple).
Regardless 2 days searching on the net in this forum and anywhere else I was not able to find any answers. The only thing what I have realized that some poeple can use th software withjout any problems and some have problems like me and are not able to solve them.
Please help anyone!!!
Anyone?? Please
Is there anyone who can help?
bump.. same issue :9
maybe you will find some helpfull info on this thread LINK For me on my TyTn II Garmin Mobile XT work normaly with internal GPS(Com4)...
Ha,
you have been falling into the Garmin trap.
Garmin Mobile 10/20 a.s.o. work ONLY with the original Garmin GPS Bluetooth receiver. The internal GPS cannot be used with these versions since the unlock code for the software is the Garmin GPS receivers Bluetooth MAC address.
The only Garmin SW which works with the internal GPS is Garmin Mobile XT. But then again, you have to use the generic MicroSD card from Garmin with the SW on since the unlock code is the SD card ID (which cannot be altered).
I was in the same situation and I was able to solve the problem via the internet. Use Google to find a solution.

Thanks for Your replay Graf Zeppelin. The strange thing is the Original (no copy) CD have been delivered inside the HTC TyTN II box in Thailand from the official agent SIS (sealed with a SIS sticker) including an explaination how to install it on the SD micro card. The only thing is that the GPS receiver cant be dedected.
So, if they deliver this SW with the PDA one should expect it to work...??? I may will visit SIS or/and the agent for GARMIN in Thailand next week in order to find some answers maybe.

hi ,
I am new to the forum and would appreciate help. I have a XDA11i which I bought secondhand alongwith tomtom5 craked version loaded on 1GB SD card and a bluetooth gps receiver.
i could not get the gps to work with tomtom though I could pair the gps with my xda. After weeks of trying , I did a stupidity and updated the tomtom5 version from tomtom site and since then now the tomtom is not staring up.I removed the program from xda and resetted the phone.Now when I put the sd card in it does not load the tomtom software on phone, initially it used to self install
I have now 3 problems;
could someone tell me how to install tomtom again on my xda from that sd card
Or could someone give me a link to download tomtom6 along with uk and europe maps.
many thanks in advance
utorrent
i got tomtom 6 there...had tomtom 5 , well still have, got tomtom 6 with u torrent 3.99GB
Hello
Does anyone of you us the s730 with an external GPS?
If yes, which application do you use for Routing? TomTom? Navigon?
TomTom doesn't work very well on the S730. They don't produce a SP specific version so you're stuck with the PocketPC version, which kind of works if you use FakeCursor, but it's a right faff, only useful if you already have TomTom Navigator and don't want to spend on anything else.
As for the anything else, CoPilot 7 looks good, although I haven't tried it.
Fount on S710 forum:
The best one is Garmin Mobile XT for Windows Mobile Ver. 4.10.40w, here is the link
That looks terrible!
I'm using Route66 Mobile 7, and I find it very well made.
Hehe, Garmin XT tested some Years ago (was fixed to only garmin GPS receivers)
Now they make the finnish better and open the restrictions between XT and Garmin GPS Receivers.
All what i can say: it works
BG Joy
Also Navigon NMM6 is for specifically for smartphones. I have just got a copy, screenshots are great, but since I only have 1GB card (maps are just below 2GB) I have not had chance to try it yet.
Besides TomTom 5.2 - 5.26 haas also been made for smartphons nd does not require touchscreen.
I've swapped an old copy of TomTom Mobile 5.2 to my S730 and it works perfectly. Ok, the maps are getting a little old but major routes don't change that often! If anything it's better than it was on my C500 - the display is much clearer.
I'm using the TomTom BT GPS to connect, and that works fine with Google Maps.

I had TomTom 5.2 unfortunately only for Symbian 60! When I upgraded to TomTom 6.0 it included all formats but Smartphone was no longer supported
You could try CoPilot 7 which is available for Windows Mobile and you may be lucky enough for it to use your working internal GPS on your device Dumdidum
http://www.alk.eu.com/copilot/default.asp
Thanks but buying this on good luck-base... nope
Ups just saw that they even used the Wings for their screenshots (on CoPilot 7 website)
Hi,
I use my old Tomtom 5.2 Smartphone verision. Its fine, but not up to date. Unfortunalty my other TOmtom 6 LIcence from my old Palm Treo does not work, because S730 is not suppoerted anymore....
By the way. I checked Navigon Mobile Navigator 6. But before spending 130 Euros for it I want to test it. Does anyone has the installation program files for Smartphones, so that I can give a try?
I do not really want to spread warez, but check torrent P2P
Can use TomTom 5.20 too, but cannot connect with the integrated GPS :-(
Route 66 V7 is working with the internal GPS juhuuuu
just naturally working, or did u make some changes to the registry/teaks?
thanks

CoPilot and Route66 are known to work fine with devices that have an internal GPS, therefore no seperate external GPS is required.
TomTom however doesn't recognise the internal GPS of equipt devices yet, so they have to also have an external GPS

Not true. TomTom uses the internal GPS on the TyTN II as well as others.
Where it doesn't work is with Symbian devices such as the Nokia N95.

Have you tried with GPSID set to COM6 instead of the default COM4? IIRC, TT Mobile 5 will only connect to Bluetooth devices on COM6.
Garmin Mobile XT doesn't work on it :-( it can't find my GPS :-s
UPDATE 2008-06-14:
- Installed TomTom Navigator 6, works fine!
- I am wondering, will TomTom Navcore 8 work?
Since we can't use microSD card, I think only possibility is to use Garmin Bluetooth GPS.
tomtom
tomtom works fine on my diamond WITH INTERNAL GPS!!!!
Then TomTom i'll tray
The diamond works fine with Garmin Mobile XT with internal GPS on com 4
There is no Navcore8 for PPC.

Navcore8 for PNDs is Linux only. Your best hope is TomTom 7 if ever it is released. There were rumours of it built in ROM from a German site , with a limited Map.

How did you install? I have XT on a microSD but can't copy to Internal Storage, it only gives me an evaluation option or external GPS.
download install file from http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3389
then serach google on getting the internal gps to work
tomtom 6
i have tomtom 6 running on my diamond. Just copy the intire map to your diamond and then run the ttn.cab file. It will install itself on youre diamond. Then when it is installed go to gps settings and select OTHER NMEA GPS (or the one thats sounds like that) and then select com4. Should run like a charm.
tomtom6
i don't know if i can upload tomtom6 to the ftp site of XDA-developers? So that we all can enjoy tomtom.

Try google and take a look on the sites where you find tomtom... They got WAREZ written all over so i advise you not to upload it anywhere as it's illegal to do so.

Hi guys how do I go about setting the internal GPS to COM 4, all the methods I've tried keeps resetting when I press OK.
My Diamond would be a lot better if I had GPS working...
i have tomtom as wel.
to be honest i do not like it so much. it seems old and outdated. the letters are really small on the diamond and it takes a few minutes to get a lock.
i am waiting for route 66 v8. i had a good experience with v7 so i hope this is better than tomtom.
if tomtom would only release new versions.....
My TT - when in use, does not keep up with where I am located - it seems always to be lagging behind when i am approaching side streets . I have full signal too.
Hey, Just received my new HTC Diamond yesterday, and the phone looks brilliant.
Hope it performs as good as it looks.
1 small thing though.
can you use the GPS without being connected to the internet?
Also is there any Freeware GPS software.
Have contacted the local Garmin dealer, but he said that phone needs to have an SD / Mini SD card (which the phone does not have )
(and yes, only Garmin have maps for Malta)
Anyone know a way I can bypass this as I really want to use the phone's functionality to it's full, AND NO I'M NOT LOOKING FOR A WAY TO GET WAREZ GPS, I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO INSTALL A DECEND GPS SYSTEM TO MY PHONE, so no spanking pls
Yes you can use the GPS with a WIFI connection...as for your other questions??...sorry cant help you there.
Problem is that a Wifi connection is not always available.
Is there any way to install Garmin direct to the phone's memory??
Yes You Can Use GPS
Hi,
I have One and i am in Canada Toronto and i am using TomTom-7 and it's work nice you don't need WIFI or any internet the Diamond has GPS in the phone so all you need the GPS software like (TomTom) or any and install to your phone i install canada/USA map and it's work fine.
So you don't need WIFI or any kind of internet,
The problem is that only Garmin has maps for Malta, and Garmin Malt on has the install Via Media card, He said that They have no install direct to memory (For Malta)., he also said that if you extract the data from the card and copy via PC (and activesync cable) to internal memory data will lock.
Any opinions??
Thanks

Send me a message Via PM, and i should be able to help. An hour or 2 in Gzira with the software and my laptop, and i am sure we can get it to work! I have a diamond as well!

to use gps without internet connection you need to disable aGPS (assistedGPS which diamond has and which means that diamond uses both gps and internet to lock on the position faster)
to disable it install schap's advanced config v3.0 or any similar app like pocket toolman,diamond tweak....
hi piranha, i am using garmin xt and it works fine with the internal gps chip.
you can send a mp and i tell you how to do it.
best regards
Hello Piranha,
I am exactly in the same position, I'm living in Sri Lanka and Garmin seems to be the only provider of GPS Maps here.
Did you succeed to make your GPS work?

handy having a GPS on your phone
Garmin Malta
Hi Piranha--
I am from Malta and I just bought an HTC Diamond. Can u pls tell me where did u download Garmin from and did you install in on the internal storage of the mobile?
You can download it officially from garmin web site
http://www8.garmin.com/software/GarminMobileXTforWindowsMobile_50010w.exe
There are many manuals about installing Garmin Mobile Xt on Diamond.
And for Malta, I think, that if you will buy Malta maps for Garmin, so you can use these maps in Mapsource software, which is garmin maps managing application for every garmin device. (after installing Garmin Mobile Xt on your Diamond, mapsource will communicate with Win device like with other Garmin generic devices.)
VPHK,
I had tried purchasing Maps from Garmin Malta (Medcomms Ltd),
BUT they would only supply on a card, and they would not accept me installing to internal memory, hence for my reason to get it elsewhere.

I have a Garmin sat nav installed on my O2 XDA Stellar that I use with the stellar paired (bluetooth) to a GlobalSat BT-338 receiver, the Garmin works fine. However, my point is, as the Steller has its own indwelling receiver why cant I use that? has anyone got over this difficulty that O2 seem to have with Garmin? I'm interested in your thoughts on the subject, thank you in advance
It is just about the license file you have for Garmin. I use my internal gps
O2 Stellar and GarminXT
thanks for the reply, I'm unsure how the license could be entered to allow the internal GPS to operate. I've had it to the O2 'Guru' in Liverpool (their word not mine) and he suggested posting here. Can you be a little more specific? thanks
