Hello everyone,
Does anyone know if there will be any way that we can use IGO8 on the Diamond?
I know that for them moment that is a no-no since there is an absence for a SD card, but is there a way that there will be a way around it ???maybe with the modification of the SYS.txt file?
Thanks

the internal 4GB memory in the Diamond is identified as a "Storage Device" so it shouldnt be a problem.
IGO 8 crash with Diamond...Look HERE
How did he test it?
You can run iGo8 only from the original SD-card (copy protection)!!!
It is not possible to copy the files an run it from another SD-Card.
So it will not be possible to use it on the diamond.

he tested it with cracked igo 8... so it is possible!
I had problems with iGO8 on my P3650 Touch Cruise and i found out that if you disable "Assisted GPS" it will work. I used Pocket Toolman to disable that. I did deleted those two files in the "2577" folder and made myself an shortcut that i placed in \Windows\Start Menu folder. Now it works like a charm. When you don't disable Assisted GPS it crashes all the time. Hope this will help.

I think discussion about illegal software is not really purposeful.
The original poster asked if he will be able to use iGo8 with the diamond.
And the answer is a simple no, as it only works with the included SD-card.

It will work if you place it in the 4 gig space, make a shortcut of iGO.exe in \windows\Start Menu and it will start up and work just fine.

No it will not.
It works only with the SD-Card it came.
iGo8 hast the same copy protection as iGo6 - the program ist bound to the specific SD-card.
Just ask navngo.

This is actually ridiculous: I get a GPS phone and can't install ANY GPS program on it? As far as I know, they all come on SD cards!

its not the hardware manufactor's fault that the software developer cannot write a piece of software to function without a microSD card.

What did you mean by crashes? I have a touch diamond and i have tried to install a version on my device.
What I have done is placed the two folders iGO8 and 2577 folders into the inboard storage of my phone I have then unplugged the phone from the data cable and it then asks me if i want to install iGO, i click yes and it installs, through the instalation, it asks me a unknown publisher wants to acces something, i just click yes, the installation ends up finishing and the program tries to load, then bang nothing, it just goes to the menu screen i was previously on, I then try to access the program through the start menu and programs folder, it tries to execute but then just stops. nothing happens. I have also tried the same thing after a soft reset.
is nthis the kind of issue you were having ?

why don't you try running it by disabling A-GPS using PPC Toolman? The other member claims that with this way, he got it to run using another device though

Exactly, thats what i did and it runs like hell. Sometimes you can go mad when you reboot and get that install again, just delete the two files from 2577 folder.

Yes, but only navngo uses the SD card ID as copy protection. All other progams should function. E.g. TomTom will be included on the O2 version of the diamond.

Not trying to start 1000 threads related to TomTom on the phone, but there seems to be a reoccurring issue with people wanting to get TomTom working on their AT&T Tilt. A lot of people, including myself earlier today, were running into issues with most of the posted files working on the AT&T Tilt. We'd get the message about the ROM being needed to be upgraded. Well buried deep in one of the TomTom threads there was a post by d12ag0n49 pointing to http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JZI2MQES (rar archive with password elrincondedey) that seems to solve the problem for AT&T Tilt users.
I have also uploaded just the cab file onto rapidshare without a password at:
http://rapidshare.com/files/62623762/ttn_6_032_8351_HTCNLD.cab.html
This version appears to work just fine on the AT&T tilt. It does not come with any maps and does link to getting the one free map online (although link never loaded for me). Just simple add the cab file onto your Tilt and install away. You'll have a single voice to choose from without getting additional voices.
Hope this helps.
Steven
i hear you... but man niether one wants to work for me. i guess im sh** out of luck.
but a question. you say just put the cab file in the tilt.
now in laymans terms i need more! assuming i have not installed anything related to tt where would i install this cab file?
Using ActiveSync you need to copy over the .cab file onto your phone (or maybe you can just save it through your browser on the phone). Once you have got it on the phone, you need to use File Explorer to navigate to the directory you saved it in. Find it and run it and it should install after that. What problem are you getting?
This TomTom .cab installed fine, and now I'm configuring it. I haven't finished, but just wanted to pause and thank you for the Female Eva voice from the NETHERLANDS! Like I understand that!

LOL yea might be a bit difficult, but at least you can see what's going on, right? If someone wants to post up detailed instruction on changing the voices/languages please do!
lol geez i think im going to give up
ok via sync i have "explore" which opens the phone.
1 i have copied the whole file and tried also just the contents...no luck you click on files nothing
2 i have copied the file and tried also just the contents into "my mobile phone"...no luck you click on files nothing
its as if after i copy them into the phone the are useless
the closest i have came is with one of the downloads it came as a install wizard which would extract it. but the phone says i need to update rom.
lets say I have a bunch of maps. how do I installthem so tom tom can see them?
lets say you share those maps...ahaha jk
this is where i need to be. try installing that ver (above links) of tt and then i believe you can use tt home or manually install your self in the proper directory.
i just cant get tt itself to install AAARRRGGG
good luck

If you click on a .cab file in file explorer on your phone, it shouldn't "open" (as in let you see the various files within the .cab), it should simply start installing. Not sure what's going on with you.
For those looking for voices, just google free tomtom voices, there are multiple places to find them (and there are some available directly from TomTom). Once you find the ones you want, you just copy those files directly into the "voices" folder that TomTom created. For me, it's in the root of my storage card. For maps, it created a "My documents" folder on my storage card, and the maps are stored in there. Once you get the maps and voices saved in the locations it expects them to be, you just switch to that voice and map in "preferences" within TomTom.
Hate to gloat, but I got TomTom6 working on my Tilt and it works great. Forget the english voices, go for the Darth Vader one!
A quick google search for "tomtom voices" yields a ton of sites.
Hi, guys,
Here's one from Kaiser newbie (sorry if there's an answer to this somewhere, tried, but couldn't find it):
Have a (un)brand(ed) new Kaiser and this 2GB Micro SD Card. The thing is, no matter what I do, I can't force that bundled TT6 Navigator (or any other version, for that matter!) to install on my SD!!!
Before you ask, I need it because I am frequently commuting throughout Balkans, and (as if that alone wasn't enough ) the ONLY map TomTom released covering that area so far was v6.08 East Europe BETA which has around 170MB. There's a lot of local forums stating that it is quite operational, but needs a bit of tweaking to get it there, which includes puting both TT6 app and the Eastern_Europe-Map folder to the root of SD.
Piece-a-cake, I thought, but then I hit the wall... I do get to a point of being asked for an install location, but even if I select my SD card ("Storage card"), I end up with TT6 installed in default Program Files folder! Tried with ActiveSync, manual install, CabInst and some other reg-tweakers (promising to solve things but failing miserably), etc., to no avail.
Not just that app, to be specific, some other behave likewise, but then, there are also those that play along, so...
What gives?!?
Try making a "My Documents" folder in the Root of the SD card, then install there or if you already have the maps there, just copy the map folder into My Documents on your SD card.
Are you sure the actual app is installed in the devices main memory. When you install to the SD it still has to install some files on the device - such as the shortcut to the actualy program.

Well, tried that one up, as well as making SD card "Program Files", but doesn't work that way. I'm sure it's because after I move the "Navigator" folder from MyDevice Program Files to SD card, there's a plenty of registry keys still pointing out to the default location... The problem is I can't make ActiveSync to actually install the damn thing anywhere on SD card.

Yes, because I located several folders on MyDevice with TomTom related files, and NONE on my SD card...
Thanks anyway, guys, any help is appreciated.
Quick update:
I did the hard reset. I'll try out "fresh" install, maybe something got messed up in my registry, then I'm back with results - usefull if someone else out there have the same problem (and I've found quite a few of those unfortunate souls ).

Yeah, this isn't going to work. The installation needs to go to the SD card in the first place.
Uninstall whatever it is you want on the card.
When you do the installation, make sure the card is in the phone. Connect your phone to your PC and don't immediately launch the installation. In WMDC or Active Sync, go to "Add/Remove Programs." There's a check box on the screen that will open that says "Install applications to default location" or something along those lines. If you can uncheck it, do so (it's not available sometimes).
When you actually do the install, check the mobile phone - it should be prompting you for where you want to install the app. Select the radio button for the Storage card, and you should be good to go.
Ok, now this is ridiculous!
After a hard reset, tried to install TTN 6, and, when asked for an install location, selected "Storage card"... Nevertheless, the damn thing installed to the Mobile device instead (again, so I give up trying to put it on SD for good!), but, to my surprise, I have managed to start it up and it even recognized my map ("Eastern_Europe-Map" folder on SD card)! Boy, was I happy as a pig in the s... Simpsons Movie ! Quited and started the app several times to ensure it's lock and loaded for good - yep, it was working all right...
But, guess what? After a later soft reset, TomTom hit me back with "No map found" again, seems like it has lost the "show-me-the-map-location-key-thingy" from the registry!!!
So, who da f#$% do I have to kill for this?
Try installing it from the sd card - ie put the cab files on the sd card and load it from there.
Thanx, tried that one already (described in my previous post), it got me closest to the goal, ie. that's how I got TT6 recognizing my map from SD card and working as a peach 'til next soft reset...
What could change in execution of an app after just reseting a device? The only thing coming to my mind is some Windows-style-run-once-regkey that screws things up, which makes no sense since the app should be legit, coming bundled with the Kaiser an all that...
Any idea?
I would guess it more to some registry settings remaining from the flawed installations.
Is there a setting in TT that tells it where to find the maps?
I don't know how, but, hey - it's working now!
Right.
First of all - it's working. I don't know the apparent reason, but what i did was:
1) A hard reset.
2) None of that Spring Backup restore stuff. Although I used to restore just emails and personal database, left it out completely this time around.
3) Installed manually all of the usual tweaks, apps and stuff first, then put the TT6 cab down to my SD card again.
4) Synchronized my emails, contacts and the likes using ActiveSync.
4) Installed TT6 from SD card again, but before starting it for a first time, made a full Spring backup - the idea was, if the thing tends to work just for the first time it's started, I could easily restore it should it start loosing it again after a soft reset.
And that was it. Then started TT6, played around with it for a couple of minutes, and did a soft reset.... TA-DAAAAAH, it's up and running again and again, so no problem with it anymore.
Is it just me, or this makes no sense whatsoever, but, hey, it's working so why bother with it any longer.
Thanks a lot for your help, see you again in next week's episode of "I don't know how, but, hey - it's working now!"
Cheers.

Check your 'voices' folder. It sounds like you don't have any voices installed.
Does it work as normal except for voice or does it not allow you to use it without a voice set?

The install should have done it for you. Where did you get your copy of tomtom?
Also. The voices folder should be on you storage card in the root.
here is my voices folder. Just copy it to your storage card and then soft reset your phone. After which, go to 'my device\Program Files\Navigator\voices' and delete the 'collected' file. If that file is missing, tomtom will re-scan for voices and "should" find your new voices.

Good deal. So your voices folder is in your main memory? You must not have any maps then since they are pretty big. If your folder is in main memory you should be able to just copy them there. Maybe.

The normal use of tomtom is to put all the files on the the SD then put the SD card into your tilt. Once you put the SD card into your tilt for the first time, tomtom installer will automatically load and install tomtom to your tilt. After which it will launch tomtom navigator and walk you through the setup procedure. Are you installing tomtom from your computer via a tomtom installer? Like tomtom home? What version is it(both home and the actual tomtom on your tilt)? It would be ideal if you are using a tomtom installer on your computer to install it on a SD card. Then it would save you space and work the way I was describing it. Where did you get your copy of tomtom? Was it from xda-developers? Did you buy it? Or did you get it from someplace that can not be talked about(please do you mention anything about pirated software or warez)? Just say other.
It's important to have a later version like tomtom 6.036 or higher. I realize this is a lot of stuff but it's important. Take your time. Plus I'm drunk and babeling on. Hopefully you can understand it. I'll be back on in 8-10 hours.

I had a friend of mine add Dutty's rom on my tilt about 3 weeks ago..I can't begin to tell you the version number
Installation procedure:
a) Start installation of 'GarminMobileXTforWindowsMobile_42020w.e xe' from PC through ActiveSync. Select your Storage Card as destination. During the installation, files will be copied to your storage card. The files should appear in '\Storage Card\Garmin\Apps\WM'.
b) Install 'GarminMobileXTSupportFiles_4xxxx.exe' for voice files.
c) Install 'GarminMobileXTFreeBasemap_4xxxx.exe' for Garmin's base map.

I have got the above instructions from a different site, but since the Diamond does not have a Storage Card, where I am supposed to install the Garmin app?
I have tried installing to the 4GB internal storage but it's not showing up during the installation as a storage destination. If it's not an option, will it eat up a lot of my valuable storage if I install to the phone default storage?
Also are there any alternative FREE GPS navigation software available for WM6 that worth checking out? This is my first GPS enabled mobile phone and I am anxious to try it out.
I am sorry if this has been answered before, but I have tried to search for an answer to this but not found any.
You install it to "Internal Storage" but that will be obvious because this is the only choice the garminxt install will give you.
I've been playing with GarminXT and so far I prefere it over TomTom.
So how memory would I have left with after installing the main application, the support files and the maps ? I wish if there a way to install to 4GB internal storage instead if using the default phone storage.
Internal storage is the 4GB. Depending on the maps you have... I have a full install of worldwide base + support files + detailed Canada takes up about 200mb... where I have TomTom I can't just chose detailed canada its all of NA or nothing and it takes up 1.4GB.
Go to Device Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC
Once you are inside here, select "Disk Drive (Faster File Transfer)" and also "Ask about connection type when I connect"
This way, when you connect your device to the PC, you can choose wether to enable ActiveSync or Disk mode.
For this specific case, to install Garmin, choose "Disk mode"...this emulates a removable storage on your PC, and then Garmin will detect this.
This is how I've done it, and worked 100%.

Thank you for this tip. This is what I was looking for. Will try it out once I am back home.
Ok I have managed to get Garmin successfully installed in my Diamond However when I installed the files using the 'disk mode' option, I had to disconnect the the USB cable to complete the software installation in my phone as it did not prompt me for any additional steps in the phone when the USB cable is still connected.
Anyways, thank you all for your assistance. I am glad to have found this resourceful forum.

When the phone is in disk mode the phone itself is not able to see the internal memory. This prevents you from possible locking of files by the phone while trying to manipulate via PC.
Activesync works just as fast as disk mode, it is the phone's usb speed that makes the difference with the diamond.
oke Garmin is installed. But I like to install the maps. But have some problem with the devicecode

In Garmin go to settings / about - you will see your Card ID number (internal storage) if it's what you are looking for ... other device IDs are also listed.

I have a problem with my Garmin (last version, with Western Europe map NT2008 and basemap)...
The map is very slow, and very inacurate
Any ideias why, and how I can fix it?

try disabling touchflo 3d report back if that increase sperformance.
Ok, probably an easy one this, but I've installed Mobile XT on my diamond but when I fire it up it tries to look for a bluetooth GPS reciever. How do I tell it to use the built in unit on the diamond?? Thanks

Settings - System
Remote GPS
Hit Enable
Hopefully that should work
Enable?
I have the same problem
Could you be a little more precise about "Hit Enable"?
I don't have that setting under Settings-System in-Remote GPS
And shouldn't it be a setting somewhere inside the Garmin application since there is no problem using Tomtom with the internal GPS?
But in Garmin I can´t find anywhere to change GPS-settings and when I go into the settings about gps in Garmin it starts looking for a bluetooth gps right away with no possibillity to change.
When I said - SETTINGS, SYSTEM
I meant the ones in the GARMIN APPLICATION!

Oops Sorry
When I go to Settings-System the number one choice there is External GPS and when I click that I get the message "Only connections to Garmin GPS-unit is allowed" ???

You need to unlock your GPS or rather the Garmin XT software for it to work with your internal GPS. You do this by using JetMouse Keygen 1.3 (or 1.5) and pasting the generated code based on your Device ID (explained in a previous post where to find that) into a txt file called sw.unl (note pls make sure that the .txt extension is changed to .unl) to be placed into your garmin folder. For JM just google for it.

OK Thanks.
I suppose if I had been more patient and read all of the threads more thorough, I should have discovered that.
When I saw your answer I recognized it but couldn't make the connection to my problem.
Sorry all, for repeating things that I most certainly should have been able to have found in earlier threads, but never the less many thanks for the input.
(maybe a stupid question...) Doesn't the Touch Diamond have a built-in GPS receiver? If yes, how to I activate it? (can't find it anyware with the TRL cooked ROM). Thx.
YES if you bought your Diamond didn`t you read specs. ? You`re buying random stuff ?
You don`t need to activate that you need software which can use it. E.g. TomTom, iGO, Garmin, McGuider etc ...
also, try Google Maps, works nicely -> http://www.google.com/gmm/
To be more clear, GPS is automatically activated (and deactivated) by the software that uses it. You don't need to worry about it.

pedmond is right...
but first you have to go to Settings - > External GPS and make sure the COM port that you set there matches the one you set in your software...
it can be managed automatically but I hate automatic stuff.
Alternative app?
Thanks, guys - you are GOLD. Got it working now - in Google Maps. Any suggestions for an alternative GPS app? - TomTom, IGo, Garmin, Route 66? What's best?
I would prefer:
1. Automatic updating of map data.
2. Local download of map data to internal storage.
3. Good and updated European coverage.
Thx.

Am I missing something?
happyguy82 was perfectly right that you have to make sure that you know the com port in external GPS. Anyone trying to get TomTom 6 working knows this for a fact.
Unless of course you were being sarcastic and the forum hasn't put that across?
From the Manual:
"External GPS: Set the appropriate GPS communication ports, if required.
You may need to do this when there are programs on your device that
access GPS data or you have connected a GPS receiver to your device."
sorry if i am wrong, but i think external GPS settings are for an external gps and not the built in. i never touched this settings except when i had an ETEN with a defective gps and i used an external one. right now my GPS hardware port is set to (none) and my iGO8 works just fine with the port it autodetected. tom tom needs special settings for this? sorry didn't know and i fail to see why......
really, sometimes is a good idea to read the manual

Never felt the need to open this up - as there is no need as you say and the default is com 4 anyway.
Canada?
Could anyone give a link as to where I can find free GPS software download, 1of the softwares listed in the poll.
I need it to have Canadian Map.
Thanks in Advance,

A2. Possible with Garmin Mobile XT. I use Garmin and the beauty of it is that everytime I flash a ROM, once all the extras are loaded and the Diamond starts up, I get auto-prompted if I want to install Garmin, then agree to the license and it's done! No need to install CABs again or run Mapsource or anything! One thing I still haven't figured out is how to back-up my custom locations so I can reload them after flashing.
Installing TomTom, iGO
Ok, i need some serious help when it comes to installing TomTom, iGo or any other of these GPS apps. All the readme: s say you're suppose to copy the folders to your SD card, but obviously the Diamond uses internal memory, so this can't be done. I've tried plugging in the Diamond to my computer, choosing "storage card" instead of ActiveSync, and copying the iGo folder into the program files directory of the internalmemory. But nothing happens. Even if I open the iGo .exe from the Diamond itself later on. So again, can someone please tell me how to install one of these things?
