Hi i have got some tom tom maps for v6 and i have no idea where to install them on my device. i have tom tom v6 installed in the storage card and i was wondering whereabouts i need to install the maps on. they come in a folder that contains DAT files in it
thanks in advance
contact TomTom support - www.tomtom.com/support
see what I did here was use the search function at the top of the screen. The one that is up yonder. In that search field typed in
"install tom tom maps"
it gave me this
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...ll+tom+tom+maps&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
and then about 2 minutes worth of gandering I found

Now, NotaTreofan doesn't like treos but he's a smart feller, I recon that if his advice doesn't help, then you can wonder back to the first post and find a lil something that will fix you right up.

Hey guys, so i had tomtom 6.030 that i used with my hermes. I got my kaiser a couple days ago and i put my microSD card from my hermes into my kaiser and ran TomTom off my SD card.
It worked well with the internal GPS and i decided to upgrade to 6.032 from the cab found on xda-devs. Upgrade went fine, when i started it and I selected my Texas map it kept asking me for my activation code which i couldn't find. So i shot off an email to TomTOm and while waiting for their reply i decided to download the free map tomtom was offering me.
I installed Austin_TX map, got my activation code from tomtom but now when i'm using any map and i tap "navigate to" my poi's are gone!
before i upgraded i had a ****load of pois, such as atms, restaurants, gas stations, etc... now nothings there
i know have to fire up live search, find the place i'm looking for, remember that address, start tomtom and manually enter the address which is very annoying. so how can i get my POI's back?
The POI's are held in the map folder, you should have a folder called 'Texas' or something like that.
Copy the POI's from that folder into your new 'Austin' folder and they should be back.
Tomtom on Kaiser with internal GPS
Just wanted to ask how you got the version of Tomtom to recognise the internal GPS on the Kaiser? I've taken the version 6 I used on my XDAIIs - loaded it onto the Kaiser and it refuses to see the internal GPS? if I load the demo version that comes with the Kaiser it see the GPS - anyone know how I can sort this one?
Hi all,
I'm looking for a solution to install TomTom navigator on my Kaiser. I've downloaded the maps on the newsgroups, but I don't have the software ... Where can I find it ? On TomTom Home ?
It's so easy installing Garmin on Symbian, but TomTom, I'm lost.
Thanks
hi could you tell me where you downloaded the maps as i cant seem to find them anywhere?
please, no warez, newsgroups here. You can get the maps directly from TomTom website.....

Excelent, Ive not sent rick for a while brings back memories
Not only are you a THIEF but you're LAZY to boot....

You steal GPS Software.
You're too lazy to search for what you want.
Good-Bye!
I've installed TT7 on my Tilt and the install went fine. I've even downloaded the one free city (Miami) map. However, when I start up the software all I ever get is the waiting for a valid gps signal. I've run the quickgps to get the latest updates. Are there any other settings that I need to look at? I've read something about gpstest and gpsrouter but really don't know much about those. Am I missing something or have I done something wrong?
Update: Well I drove around for about an hour after work and it finally kicked in and started working. But, looks like I have a Map issue. I live about a mile from the ocean and Tom Tom is working cuz i see my position and the ocean is nearby. But, the area where I am is just one big green mass. I didn't see my address/street when I went to set that up either.
1) Running GPStest and minimizing it makes it get a fix sooner.
2) You are not on the map you have. Tomtom doesn't have a very large map area compared to where you want to be, apparently.
Even after downloading the latest maps for your city, some places are still not available. With TT7, I believe you can edit or download map edits and such from other users. I'm not sure whether this is only with POI's or with 'blank areas' as well.
Btw, I don't think that it would show your address when you're are home. Even after you've entered the address, it would probably show that you're somewhere very near.
had the same thing happen to me. I selected to download the free Houston, Tx map, unfortunatly I live outside of downtown, and I am in a green blob as well. If you buy a full map of your state, or find if your in a subcity (smaller city just outside) then you need to try to find the right map.
Anyone know where I can get a cab file of GPSTest?
use a search engine like google!

another test tool: VisualGPSce
its best to run the test when u are outside (duhh lol found out the hard way lol, lacked common sense) i first installed the Wilmington DE map and then from my acutally GPS tomtom i copied the US and Canada Map over to my phone and ran another application to make it compatible to TT7 and now the GPS works better
Thanks for the files. Any suggestions on where to find some good maps? I drove into work this morning and the Tom Tom failed to get a connection. Has anyone else experienced and or solved this lengthy connection time issues?
Maybe I should start a new thread for this but as the title of this thread is non-specific I thought I'd post here rather than creating a new one. I installed TT7 on my kaiser yesterday after running TT6 for several months. I read that TT7 was compatible with both TT6 and TT7 maps, however when I loaded up TT7 and tried to access my existing map of Western Europe it did not appear in the list of available maps. Is there a solution for this problem or does anyone know where I can get a "trial" version of Western Europe map for TT7?

TT6 maps are NOT compatible with TT7. Also, there is no trail for WE - you have to buy it (£49.95) from TomTom and follow the instructions in respect of hacking TTH2.3 with the tweaked jar file, downloading the map you bought to your pc, manually transferring it (and the activation file) to your SD card and voila.
I did this very thing last night and it runs a treat!
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

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
is it posible to get talking street names for Tomtom7 on Tilt?
Hi
Yes I believe it is possible to have TTS on generic TomTom.
I have a small problem with voices. I am using a generic GPS with TomTom installed with 720.1868 version of Australian map installed. Works very well, but I would like to be able to have TTS. The version of TomTom supports TTS, but I cannot find how to instal computer voices, or find computer voices to instal, onto the Sd card. The original installation was done without using TTHome, so I have no idea how to use this, so simple instructions appreciated.
Thank you.

any idea where i can get it from?

Well my room mate has tom tom 930 gps and the only voice in which he seem to get the street names is when he uses a particular voice, i have not tried that on my tilt with tom tom 7, i will try and put that voice on my phone and see if it tells me the street names and will get back to you
never mind just realised that the voices for tom tom mobile and tom tom stand alone gps are different.
