Choose bild in GPS receiver

Hi,
Someone could tell me if the "IQ Routes" functionality is present in tomtom 7 for PDA?
Thanks a lot

Has TT7 been released for PDA?
Warez again! Stop it plz!

For TT7 on the Diamond - this is a grey area. Some operators are giving TT7 away on the Diamond but without maps. You still need to buy the maps from TomTom. Better for TomTom to get *some* money off you than none at all because you had to go to a competitor.

I don't encourage the warez, I just ask information about a product that is installed in certain countries on the diamond. Those who have, have been quite legally.
Someone would have an answer to my question?

Man, i know that TT7 is sold with the HTC Touch diamond somewhere but if pammoun is asking for settings then surely it's not the bundled version (because that come already settled up with internal GPS)

not necessarily that default settings are always the best. at least this is my experience with TT6 and TT7 on HTC devices.
I found that _universal_ settings for TT6 and TT7 for HTC devices are:
Other NMEA GPS
COM4
1200 bps wheter available. some devices will offer 2400 bpps only. but 1200 is still gives better results.
tested these setting to be the most suitable for Artemis, Trinity, TyTNII, Pharos, Diamond. both TT6 and TT7 (Diamond).

Hi SecureGSM,
If you used tomtom 7 on PDA, can you answer me about "Iq Road"?
thank you

@zeldomar.
no IQ routes, no lane guidence on 6.x and 7.x maps. TT7 does not support maps 8.x.
as far as navigation experience goes, TT7 is great step forward. Big success, me think.

I thought the 6.75 Maps were the latest version for Navigator?

official support:
6.x maps: version 6.75
7.x maps: any version
8.x maps: no support

I use:
other gps nemea
9600
com4
working well
ps: same settings of previous tt6

That's correct, but you also need to go to settings/system/external GPS and
set first tab to com2 and second tab to com4 or vv. In my case select com2 rather than com 4.
This works for TomTom7, IGO8 and Navigator7.

See reply #14.

How can posting about TomTom 7 be Warez. Now if you linked up the maps which is what you license for then yes it would be Warez at it would need a map to work.
You can ask TomTom themslves for the executable and they will give you a link to download it from.
I've heard it all now , so if I was to say "Copilot" now in this thread would that be Warez too... jeez Its in the Tytn forum and the general !!!!!!!

TomTom and other maps...

I have a feeling that this will become quite a discussed post. The *taster* version of TT that comes with the Kaiser allows you to download only one map - and the selection is limited.
I have a TomTom Go in my car and was wondering if I can use the map data from there? I have all of Western Europe. Obviously I'll need a memory card capable of holding it but the real question is - can you use TT Go maps on TT Mobile?
R
I suspect that the maps are attached to a particular device.
Depends on the map version you have.
I guess the Kaiser has a version 6 Tomtom. Therefore you need at least map designed for that version.
In general the maps for the Go and the WM versions of TomTom are identical. Theoretically it should work.
BUT:
Apart from that you also need a device specific activation code belonging to the map/device combination. Your maps are obviously allready activated for your Go, so you cannot activate them on a second device.
Maybe the TomTom helpdesk (forum on their site) can help you out.
Taster version of TomTom with Kaiser......is it possible to uninstall it so that I can install my own tomtom which I have got on my current sd card in trinity, as it is activated and with all maps? I mean, is this tatser verison included in ROM or is it removable from settings?
Thanks

I believe i noticed in the "retail TyTN II unboxing" video, that TomTom resides on a CD with applications in the box.... So that would mean you have to install it yourself, and in that case you can go with your own full copy of TomTom...
What i would like to know is, if version 6.030 from my Trinity will run smoothly on the Kaiser...???

tomtotm isnt on the rom. so there will be no need to uninstall anything. just put your version on and use it. its supplied on the software disk. I'll be putting my own version of tomtom onmine when i get my micro sd card hopefully tomorrow
but the version on the CD Rom is the latest (6.0.32)
the 6.0.32 version of TTN6 is specific for WM devices with built-in GPS, like the Kaiser.
So, best option is to use the app from the kaiser package and your own maps.
I think you can just copy the map folder from the TomTom Go to an microSD card and see if it is working.
I bet it is.

Legally? No. TomTom licenses you maps per device, so what you have is licensed to your GO.
Practically? Yes. You'll need one of the many keygens out there....
Can you nav guys help. I've never used GPS with my TyTN. I'm considering a TyTN II and have some questions.
Can you use the built in GPR without an external antennae with Google Maps with the TyTN II? Or do you need the TomTom or other software?
I like using Google maps.

You don't need an antenna or extra software like tomtom. Sometimes it's a bit fiddly setting up the ports to use to get say Google Maps or other software to see the inbuilt GPS - but you get there in the end!

Mike:
Thanks again for your reply. I think I may pick up the TyTN II here pretty quickly. I just wanted to hear that the built in GPS actually does something.

What port are you using in Googlemaps? I've left it at auto, which doesn't work :S
Thanks!
People said that Googlemaps is not so friendly with long waiting to get satelite fix. So, Googlemaps tend to disconnect and wont tell you anything.
The workaround (not nice btw), is to start TomTom to get satelite fix, then quit.
After that Googlemaps will be able to connect to the GPS and works fine.
But, sorry for asking, what are the good things of Googlemaps compare to, let say TomTom or Route66, etc. Of course, it is FREE, but other than that?
Is Googlemaps available for all continent (Europe?) ?
bear in mind that google maps is an API, not just a web site.
It is possible to write location sharing apps etc for google maps, a mobile interface would be very cool.
Guys where on earth is the tomtom cab file for version 6? I only got 2 cd's, 1 applications which only has 3 apps (but not tomtom) and the starter cd which I did look all over? Is there more than 2 cd's?
Please help, I just got the kaiser today and want to install tomtom.
Thanks.

I don't have Tomtom6 on any CDs either , I got the units from SuperiorGadgets, they are HTC Tytn II. And I tried Mapopolis, map4pda, igo 2007, Destinator 6, none can see GPS.
What is the hardware port? I checked the GPS CP app, it shows COM4: as software, none for hardware. I tried couple of settings there, none worked so far.

one thing i haven't been able to search up is..

Please don't ask this question here. This is a different question than the OP asked. That being said, GPS programs such as iGo and TomTom do not use your data connection. Google Maps does, however.

The easiest way I know to do this is to copy your maps to you computer, download and install TomTom Home (free) and import your maps into it. From there you can check your map versions, and even upgrade to newer versions if necessary.
or you could just press the gps bars then press the version number on the screen of your tomtom, above the done button and it will tell you what version your map is

@+++
The voices are the same. Just install tomtom7 over the old version.
About maps still don't know....
Does anybody know on which devices tt7 will run (when it will ever officially released)? Especially will it run on HTC Hermes?
I tested with 675.1409 italy maps....but he ask me serial number....
work perfectly
working fine
On my Diamond the Software works, but i can only download one city map.-->that one works fine..my TT7 Western Europe map ive downloaded for TT7 doesnt work...it said its not valid...
anyone knows how to validate this map?!
how long is it taking to get GPS signal the first time?
Mine is just sitting there waiting for signal.
EDIT: didn't find it for 5 mins.. resarted TT7 found it in less than 30 seconds!

took me 7 minutes for the first fix even with the quickgps file downloaded.
it also does not show satellites but have a fix.
so far do not know if you are better of choosing the internal gps or other nmea device with 9600 and com4

See this vid for the 3 best working navigation systems on Diamond!

IGO8

Nice initiative, but video is too blurry, I couldn't watch it all the way to the end. Sorry. =/
IGO8 Is the best navigation program for the Diamond. Any attempt to compare is useless.

Any attempt to use IGO if you're in the US is also useless, unfortunately. Hoping they come out with US maps eventually. Until then, TomTom will do it for me.
tomtom for me
used it from day one on my diamond
does all i need it for
GARMIN?
Never heard that you could get garmin navigation on phones.
Out of igo and ttni'd say tomtom7 is still the best.
any ideas where i can download garmin? torrents or rapidshare appreciated.
I use tomtom
I´ve tried IGo8 but i think its kind of messy i can´t find the functions and so on....
tomtom is more right foreward

I've just removed iGo 8 and put tomtom back on as both have the delay, but tomtom is sooooo much better.
You can find Garmin on the bay, though its v4. If you want v5 you can pm me for a "secret" link.
Tom Tom's routing is better I think after trying both programs on my Diamond. IGO8 sent me on a weird route over the clifton bridge in Bristol which it never announced as a toll route the other day. They both have the same delay. Tom Tom is much easier to use and less cluttered but IGO8 does look nice with the 3D maps and the graphics in the menu system. Also the spoken instructions in IGO 8 are clearer and more concise than Tomtom.
So, if you want a navigation system that looks nice then go for IGO8. If you want to get to A to B with confidence, which is what these programs are all about then go for Tomtom.
In my opinion of course!

iGo Amigo for Kaiser

Does anyone have any experience of getting iGo Amigo working with their Kaiser? TTS?
works fine...
but i had to turn off "assisted gps" function. Not tried TTS.
Thanks rothod.
TTS is what I'm looking for. Can you try it?
Also, have you previously used iGo 8? If so, do you find Amigo better, or worse?
Works very well for most aspects. Updated graphics and new interface. TTS works perfectly. Major 'bug' of backlighting controlled by Windows with no override by program. Can use on 8.3 maps.

The display a bit more cartoonish - more like Garmin's than the clean iGo8.3. TTS a bit more precise in pronounciation, and more courteous - lots more "Please turn" etc. Too chatty for my liking.
Still prefer iGo8.3
Amigo has less options
Hmmm.. thanks lads.
Going to install iGo 8 then. This is what I've been using on my trusty (old) Mio 269+ for months mow, and I love it.
Was going to use Amigo on my HTC TyTN II (when I eventually receive the device!), but I think I'll put iGo 8 on it instead.
Anyone know how to get amigo to run from today screen if i copy exe to phone it will not load. cheers

IGO 8.3.2.64873 With TTS - OK
Hi all
I have the PDACorner X-V1 and I just installed the iGO 8.3.2.64873 with TTS files, and it seems to be working, I heard the TTS voice when I choosed my language, and iGO is now running.
I have both working on my Tilt fine. Amigo is nice, however iGO8 will still be my primary GPS program.
iGo8.3.2.64873 -
IS there a solution on how to make IGO find the satellites faster ?? i read many comments from others in this forum but somehow i could not find any proper answer.
IGO6 plus it is finding the satellites very fast when comparing these two..
comments/advice it will be appreciated.
