Hi guys,
I have a couple of issues which need your helping hands.
1, Do you know where can I get the GPS turn by turn guidance maps for Persian Gulf Countries e.g Qatar, Bahrain, U.A.E? Rightnow, the only source I found is CleverMaps. However, they charge the hefty price ($179 for 30MB of maps!) not included the price of OCN5. Furthermore, there is no Kaiser in their compatible devices list, either!
Too bad is tomtom doesn't have these kinda maps.
2, What are the fonts and keyboard applications should I install to the Kaiser in order to make it displays and inputs Arabic characters correctly?
TIA.
I live in Abu Dhabi and use Garmin XT. You can buy this now on an SD card thats perfect for the 'Kaiser'
Also, Destinator do a PDA map program for the Mid East but it is not as good at recognising your location when off-road.
The Garmin XT SD card is available from most big electronics stores in the ME for about USD99.
They are both Enlish text but I think the new ME Garmin may have Arabic language files also.
Check out the www.persianforum.net forum, some guys on there may be able to help you.
Salam,
Tks for the link to persian forum, but i have difficulty to read & understand because I'm learning Arabic now.
May I ask you some more questions?
1. Are you running City Navigator Middel east v3 and Garmin XT ver. 4.10.40w? Where can I find Garmin XT in Qatar or I have to purchase it in USA?
2. Do you recommend any keyboard application for Arabic input?

Nav software for ME
TomTom none
Route66 but ME maps maybe 2006
Navigon Version 6 has ME maps and may be 2007, my choice BTW
Destinator 7 has ME maps 2006/2Q
Myeasynav works on WM5 with 2005 maps but not hopeful for WM6
Garmin products suppose to have up to date maps of ME guess late 2006,
IGO also have ME support not sure of date of maps but at least 2006
Note most companies don't seem to list ME maps on thier sites but they are available
Have a look at Dubai forums for Arabizer help http://mobilitydubaiforums.com/eve/forums/a/frm/f/6141068401

No Arabizer exists for the Kaiser yet. There is one from imaginet but it messes up ur fonts and slows down ur phone.
Have installed imaginet 2.0, works fine on my kaiser...
parzifal, link please?
arabic software
Guys this software by paragon to enable arabic for pocket pcs.
Please note it does not work with wm 6.1
cuz my phone did not start after installation and had to flash it all over again,
so beware
Today I going on holiday by car and I need tomtom on my diamond.
I want to buy the maps for the diamond so I need build 9029 or 9030 of tomtom.
Does anybody knoes how to get it?
THX
Im using build 9028 and it works perfect.
Why do you need a special build anyway?
I can upload the cab file to rapidshare if you want.
Well i am interested if you can upload it to rapidshare.
Me too....
Here we go:
http://rapidshare.de/files/40108511/TT_Nav_7.450.9028_repack3-vga-black.cab.html
Have fun.
Build 9028 is not supported by Tomtom, and so you cannot buy cards. Yes with build 9028 you can download a free map with this version (small area/city) which works.
Better, you can buy cards via the Tomtom website, but Tomtom Home 2.3 is not working correctly (gives errors) and is needed to install the bought cards. The Tomtom servicedesk claims that version 9028 is not is supported Build 9029 is included in the German O2 rom. build 9030 is included at least in the Dutch Vodaphone rom. The widespread tomtom 7.450 is build 9028.
Tomorrow (july 30 2008) Tomtom ends buying cards with 30% discount and it would be nice for many to buy legitimate cards.
hmmm....
I didnt know that. If you get a link for the 9029/9030 build than please post in here. Maybe someone else will need it too.
But I think there was a cab file here in the forum. Did you do a search?
Ah i already have that file...
It`s the uk map i need!!!
Any idea on which maps to use for the uk with this?
Cheers.
The BLACK 9030 version that was bundled with my Vodafone ROM did not seem to support the widely available (read downloadble from all our sources) maps, activation did not seem to work. The BLUE 9028 version did.
please people, i really need tomtom to buy the maps right now

I'm using the 9028 (downloaded tt7.cab ripped from the Diamond) with TomTom home 2.3 and I bought the maps from a link on this site which takes you to the O2 XDA Diamond TomTom map page
http://www.tomtom.com/products/maps/select.php?D=1094&Language=1&P=394#
Cost me £49 but at least I don't have to f*ck around with hacks and cracks and other sh*t that will infect my PC
you pays your money you makes your choice.......

so no errors and you can update the maps with tomtom home 2.3
Worked a treat...I was a bit dumb in expecting the email sent by Tomtom to give me a download link but after you've paid just go into the 'maps' area of Tomtom home application and it'll have the Western Europe maps sat there ready for download
Oh yeah and make sure you choose the internal storage
ooops just remembered the only other thing I did was copy the Navigator, Voices and the ttnavigator file to the Program Files directory on the phone (from internal storage) it didn't give me the option to install elsewhere....(and setup a shortcut in Windows\Start Menu\Programs for the Tomtom.exe)

Did you know the version of TT7 you have here is a cracked version of the installer?
IGNORE POST IF YOU HAVE READ IT. It's been a long day
When it is a cracked version of the installer ( whatecer that means ) - where do we get a legal version of TT7 for an original HTC DIAMOND TOUCH ?
TomTom does not help

Build 9028 does not work with TomTom Home 2.3....
From what I've read here, build 9029/9030 supposedly works with TomTom Home 2.3 although I have not seen a confirmation.
What we need is someone to post the 9029 or 9030 cab
What is the best satnav software to have on HTC Diamond? I noticed that my Compaq IV has Co Pilot pre-installed (trial version), but I've always been using TomTom on my Vario II. I've noticed a lot of people tend to be installing on TomTom on the Diamond.
I spent about 5 hours yesterday trying to install TomTom v7 with GB maps but was not able to get the maps to show. I also checked several different walkthroughs how to install TomTom 7 to no avail.
So if anybody can help me on how I can get TomTom or if CoPilot is also recommended, how I can get this working fully?
where did you download tomtom7?
download again or try with other maps
I tried several different location each with their own walkthrough and it seems like it always works for others but theres always the few who just can't get the damn thing to work. I'm normally ok with stuff like this, i've got tomtom on my HTC tytn but now I have the Htc Diamond (compact iv) I would of liked to install version 7 of tomtom with working GB maps, with a straightish walkthrough of how to do this. Any help m8 or a pointer in the right direction would be appreciated.
tt6
I use tomtom 6 that was on my last phone (western Europe maps)
Installed np ..It works fine.. and its now much quicker to pick up satelites..
Guys, I need help in getting tomtom 7 on my htc diamond, i've followed the walkthroughs to do with how to get my tomtom id, thats sweet. but it's this bloody meta file, I can't seem to locate it with RunMeforAllAutomatic or RunMeforDCT, which I understand is meant to locate the meta file. I think i'm at the last hurdle to get tomtom 7 to see TTN_7.450.9028 which I hope is the maps for GB.
Any help would be greatly appreciate so I don't have to go into my second night of 3 hrs sleep
Wilsas said:
1) Install TomTom Navigator 7 with the TTN_7.450.9028.cab provided
2) Copy the folders RASTER and VOICES to the root of the storage card
3) Copy the folder of your map (e.g. Western_and_Central_Europe_V720_1803, not included in this package) to the root of the starage card
4) Start TomTom and look up your DEVICE ID from TomTom, which can be found in the file ttnavigator.bif on the starage card under DeviceUniqueID
5) Copy the file *.meta from your map folder and put it in the folder where you saved the downloaded files (I recommend C:\TTN7 for an easy use)
6) Open a command prompt on your pc and navigate to this folder
7) Execute the command
tt7_keygen.exe “path to the *.meta” “XXXXX-XXXXX”
where XXXXX-XXXXX will be your Device ID found before
Example:
tt7_keygen.exe “C:\TTN7” “XXXXX-XXXXX”
If everything succeeds, the patcher should return an "OK" message.
8) Now copy the new file *.meta.dct from this folder to the folder of your map on the storage card
9) Open TTN7
10) Enjoy!!!!

THIS IS NOT A ****ING WAREZ FORUM!!!!
I tried TomTom6, TT7, iGo, iGo8 & Navigon.
TT is stupid.
iGo8 is nice & fast but has absolute wrong speed infos, whyever.
MN6.5 is still the best choice for Europe.

hi there ,
In a most respectfull way I will tell you this .. I have purchased tomtom for mobile and it works great on the diamond ... The problems you describe are due to copy protection .. If you insist on using priated cracked or keygened softwares , that is tottaly your choice and to be honest there are many valid reasons for using it .. however this fourm is particulary strict on not talking about things such as that .. so due to the forum rules you will have to go elsewhere for this kind of help ... I will however say that a quick search in the torrents will definatly help you .. I have had personal experince with the more reputable providers out there and can say it definatly matters where you get your info from .. if you get a build with the instructions Wilsas has already provided and it has the required exe keygen .. and you follow exactly what it says .. you will have no issues
if you do require further help , two options .. buy it , as anyone who gets good value out of anything should ... or if you are just testing it for usablity , you can install one free map upon install on your tomtom .. .. .. if you need the UK maps working .. well im me and we can take it off line
i am using destinator 7 on diamond without any problem!
Consider "Garmin Mobile XT" as an alternative for the Diamond. Alas, due to the lack of an sd slot, you will need a keymaker even if you own it legally, but imho Garmins software makes most of the other options out there look like jokes.

TT7
I just got the Western Europe map installed and it is just excellent.
My XDA Diamond is double worth its value due to TT7 being pre-installed...
No problems whatsoever... just fun...
Finally got tomtom sorted on the htc diamond, but is it just me or does it not look as good as the previous version (which I have on my vario 2) ? On the diamond tomtom looks a bit cramped up with all the info at the bottom when your driving, on the vario it's very clear. Not moaning about it as I do like the fact the new version tell you what road your currently on. Now all I have to do is work out how to transfer my favorites should be fun NT
Hey guys,
I just got an HTC touch pro but i live in Egypt so the google maps of Egypt arent very accurate at all and they give no directions watsoever. So before when i was on my HTC P3600 i installed a gps programm by TeleType and added the maps of my country to it in the folder of my maps and it worked perfectly. When i came to do that on my HTC touch pro 6.1 windows mobile it didnt wana install and it said GPS not a valid pocket pc application. Ive been looking for another gps software to install on my touch pro and cudnt find anything. Could any1 help em please? i have my countrys maps but i just need a software that will work and that i can add my maps to so i can get the turn by turn directions.
Thanks alot

TOMTOM is good?

GPS for HTC Pro
Oziexplorer + your own maps or you can use iGO 2006 or iGO 8 /Nav N Go 8/ it works great with HTC Pro. And there is the map of Egypt too...
Igo is great Israeli software
I'm using NavNGo's iGO 8 - works like a charm.
TomTom Navigator 7 - TomTom told me that they indeed would release version 7 soon. Until now, only select Dimanond users had it preinstalled.
Both programs are working 100% on Touch Pro
The Doc.
hi, please onsi11 could you tell me where did you buy the htc touch pro from cause i can't find it anywhere in Egypt
I can sell you mine. It's less than 2 weeks old but no dings, scratches, dents... you basically wouldn't know it's used unless I told you.
I can put up an auction on ebay for it if you're interested. I'd be looking for $850 plus shipping & handling but I'd figure that out based on whichever way you want it shipped.
I got mine from a store in Ontario here in Canada.
I'm sorry i'm a lil bit out of the subject...
but helraiser,
I am from montreal, quebec, and i was about to buy the Touch Pro also. I'm just wondering if you had any trouble using this phone with Rogers network?
Thanks

Hi Onsi!
In the Storage Card, there's a folder named "iGO8".
In this folder, there's a text file named "sys".
Please copy the content of this file and paste it to a reply here and I'll try and help you fix the problem.
BR,

Can someone move this to Rapahel general forum?
This is only for ROM development...

Looks just as it should!
Make sure that in your Storage Card there's indeed an "iGO8" folder... If you have moved or renamed it - that may be the reason for iGO not running.

Just came across this update for tomtom 7
http://download.tomtom.com/sweet/navcore/navcore_7.910.9185_TT_SIGNED.htc_diamond.cab
Seems to work OK on mine, but I never had any problems with lag
Bixx
already posted here somewhere...
Thanks buddy
Does it just install over the top of your old one >????
crash to install for me with tomtom 7.910 already install in intern storage....
Edit:
Also crash after uninstall of the old version
works fine on my diamond and cruise
Might find that it conflicts with the maps you have from your "older" version....install at you peril
ok so you suggest me to remove everything about tomtom on my phone, to install it and reput all on?
Can someone explain the diferentes with previous version?
Willem
Ok i had wrong: you have to unzip the file, it's not a cab but a rar files ...
Inside of you have a cab of tomtom which installed IN the phone memory and NOT into the storage ...
And what about the autorun.exe?
I don't know ....
Yeah, problem with my licence card now ...
theres also a raphael version http://download.tomtom.com/sweet/navcore/navcore_7.910.9185_TT_SIGNED.htc_raphael.cab
i have yet to see differences in all of these TomTom updates...
Works fine on my diamond, but im using version 8 maps.
Also, i installed after a format so i had no existing tomtom on there.

kaos_king,
What device did you state that you were purchasing the maps for when buying the maps form the Tomtom shop?
I downloaded TT 7.910 via TTHome 2.5 without problem and installed a sample map. This is working fine, so i'm ready to purchase a map, but am unsure which device option to specify and indeed, whether it makes any difference as its a map only.
Thanks.
