I have recently purchased an Orange TNTY II which did not come with the Tom Tom Software and would like to know where to buy it from. Have seen that the HTC site has it for £70 but states that it can only be use=d on one particular screen so am a little lost as to where I can get the full european maps from. Can anyone help please
well, I've just got my TyTN II this morning, and haven't installed Tom Tom yet, but had it on my Universal which I bought from www.tomtom.com - it installs through the TomTom home application which you can download to your PC.
hope this helps.
There are, of course, always "other ways" of getting TomTOM
And for your benifit (i.e. when searching), the phone is called "TYTN II" not "TNTY"
Thanks for the help guys and apologies for calling it the TNTY and not the TYTN. I have dyslexic fingers when I type.
Will see what I can find out from various sites.
Cheers and take it easy
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
tomtom 6
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.
Dear all,
Hope to get help from you guys...how to use GPS in HTC Tytn / tilt? i bought it from US and use in Malaysia. But somehow cannot manage to find how to use GPS as i'm a newbie in this. currently my HTC Tytn / tilt doesn't have built in GPS device as said. But i have heard that GPS could be use without any devices??? Thx alot for information!!!
You just bought a tilt but it doesn't have built in gps?? You sure you bought a tilt? Every tilt or kaiser has built in gps. Try google maps mobile for starters to get your feet wet with gps. http://www.google.com/mobile/default/maps/index.html
The AT&T Tilt / Kaiser has built-in GPS. I think your question is more towards what GPS software to use because most standard ROMs for Kaiser don't have any GPS Mapping software built-in.
You'll have to install a GPS Mapping software and maps to make use of the GPS hardware.
Since you're in Malaysia, the 2 most popular GPS software for that area is Garmin MobileXT and MapKing G10 / 2007.
To find out more about these software and get the free Malaysia maps, please go to www.malsingmaps.com
ok ok...i'll try and see whether it works or not. But why there is an external GPS slot behind my HTC Tytn if it's built in????? i really do not understand. i have read the specification of the phone and it does not stated that GPS is already built in. but anyway thanks guys..i'll try.
like this?

that's only a connector for an external gps antenna, not gps device
Hi,
I am looking to buy new GPS software for my Kaiser.
I am currently using a dodgy copy of TomTom7 that came on my second hand Kasier a few weeks ago and am so far very impressed with it.
Right now i have a shortlist of two. How do McGuider (am looking at 2009 version) and Garmin (XT version) compare to TomTom7? Should i throw Route 66 into the mix?
I never used Garmin, but I have tried Tomtom and McGuider. The main differents is that McGuider has a lot more eye candy, Really very Nice!
Whit both I had no complaints about the 'voice' and the instructions (dutch).
Only downside from Mcguider is that it is sometimes, a couple of meters, to late whit corners and the recalculation is a bit slow.....so don't drive to fast .
thank you.
Expansys are doing a £10 off deal just now so i can get McGuider 2009 European Maps for around £45 or Route 66 8 UK maps for just £25. Seeing as i have only once had a car outside of the UK in the last 5 years the euro maps are far from essential so it comes down to how good the interface/operation is and how good the UK maps are.
Anyone used Route 66 8? have read mixed reviews so was hoping some of you folks may have first hand experience with it.

Are you talking about Garmin 3D map? I've never heard about ... Is it a totally new stuff that Garmin gives?
Also, I'm running iGo8 on my Kaiser, but I used to play with both Garmin Mobile XT and Tomtom. I dont know why people prefer TT rather than Garmin, may be just people in Europe ... To me Garmin is better in North America. And one more annoying issue in Tomtom is that, to quit the program you have to go to the final page of the menu ...
Yep.....its an awesome map....work flawless
TomTom MAPUPDATES
I vote for TomTom7.910.
Downloaded TomTom Home2.5 FREE from tomtom.com
Got myself a FREE account at tomtom.com and it worked great.
Activated FREE map-updates & i've always got the latest maps (Benelux 8.15.2024 with 5000+ corrections).
Which program can compete that?
pocketgpsworld vs TomTom 7.910:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474146
I tried TomTom 6 and Mobile Navigator 7 from Navigon.
TomTom is muuuuch easier to handle. In Navigon the buttons are so small and therefore not good to be pressed while driving. TomTom is intuitive and has the best performance in my opinion. Just don't use the biggest cards (like complete western europe) Then it will lag like hell if you browse the maps manually.
But I don't use navigation with my kaiser since my car got a tomtom one which can be used without any expensive and kaiser-specific car- or poweradapters The only bad thing with it is, that the kaiser has a better display with more lumen.
I've tried Tom Tom and Garmin, and vastly preferred TomTom. The POI database was much better and Garmin was a bit sluggish on my Tilt. The only complaint I have with TomTom is that it, if my phone is muted when it opens, there's no way to unmute without closing and reloading the program. It's also a bit ugly, but it just works too nicely to complain.
I tried iGo, but could never get the program to fully load on my system without crashing.
Garmin vs. Tom Tom
I have Garmin and have tried tom tom and I have to say I like Garmin XT BEST!! I can help you get garmin xt for free if you want, let me know.
Agreed. I've tried Garmin and TomTom7 on my TYTNII and hands down prefer Garmin. Much nicer general appearance of application, both easy to navigate and map display much nicer on the eye on Garmin. You just get that feeling and TomTom just didn't do it for me...
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
