Dear users,
Does someone know how to get the TomTom Navigator 6 favorites as stored in the MapSettings.cfg file to the new MapSettings.cfg file as present in the 7.xx maps for use with Navigator 7?
Just using the Nav6 cfg file with 7.xx maps doesn't work: Navigator 7 hangs on startup.
I have tried the latest TomTom Home (for Navigator 6) but that one doesn't show options of how to grab the favorites. And even if it could, it couldn't send them back to 7.xx maps I guess, since the latter aren't supported in TomTom Home for Navigator.
Suggestions are more than welcome!!
Ok, someone gave me the tip to use POI's instead of Favorites, since the POI's being OV2 files are fully interchangeable with all versions of TomTom - which I've tested successfully.
So that's my tip for all of you struggling with the same problem.
Copy the MapSettings.cfg in the new 7er Map. First startup can be long, just wait (Sometimes 4-5 minutes or longer)
After it it works.
+1 it's very long first time only, but after no problem, even after a hard reset of the system !!

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?
I've searched the forums and bnot found the answer to this question.
I've installed TT6 on my diamond, and it works fine, however, in order for it to get a GPS signal, I had to run google maps, and then in the menu click the turn on GPS. Presumably to turn off the GPS I'll have to go into google maps again and turn off the GPS. Is there some way of turning the GPS receiver on and off without having to go into google maps?
Thanks
Hope you don't mind me asking but how did you get GPS to work with Google maps?
When I try i get the following error;
"This programme require a data connection. Please contact your carrier or visit www.google.co.uk/gmm/configure.html on your computer for more info.
(Error: connectError [183])
With Quit or Retry the only options.
Sorry
@mcvpjd3: Believe me, you do NOT want that thing running all the time because if you do, your battery will be dead in under 2 and a half hours!!
Google maps should turn the GPS reciever on and off automatically when it is needed, as should TomTom or any other GPS program.
When nothing is talking to the GPS reciever, it goes into powersave and turns off.
Google maps has the option to use it with or without GPS and so you have the option to turn it on and off, but it should be turned off automatcially when you close the program.
@so3:does the message "This programme requires a data connection" not give you a clue?
You need a data connection for google maps to work. Just like google maps and google earth on the PC, it downloads the map and satellite images from google over the internet. If you haven't got a data connection, then it won't even start up. Sorry for the sarcasm, but that message is really self explanatory and it really does tell you what the problem is. of course, if there is more info that you have not given that would help us figure it out a bit more, i apologise and please feel free to elaborate.
Lol you're so funny...
anyway I gave up getting TomTom 6 to work on my diamond.. I just installed TomTom Navigator 7 instead and it works fine...

How did you get TomTom Navigator 7 to work with your TomTom 6 maps, or are you just restricted to the single city trial that comes with it?
I found no mention on the TomTom site on version 7 and I have no way to buy maps or switch to another map within the software.
My TomTom home on my PC recognises it as a tomtom device and lets me load my Western Europe maps onto it, but I don't have the option to switch to the maps from within the software? Instead I have a button that has Voucher written on it that takes me to some HTC website???
just restricted to the single city map as far as i know. I don't think 7 likes the version 6 maps, but if you have any version 7 maps, they should work fine.
As for TT6, I did get that working on the diamond, but i had to set 'other NMEA' as the device type, 9600 as the baud rate and then com 4 as the com port.
Then seemed to work on and off, but got much better when i turned aGPS off using schaps advanced config.
TT7 just picked up the internal GPS chip staright away, and this thing is SOOOOO much faster than my Athena to get a signal it is unbelievebale!

Thanks - any idea how I can buy the v7 maps? I'm actually quite annoyed because I bought a brand new copy of TT6 2 days ago and it came with version 6.6 maps, and the tomtom site is now trying to sell me an 'upgrade' to v6.75 maps, but it won't let me buy v7 :s

You can't use the V7 maps within tt6. You can buy the v7 maps thru the tomtom store but then you need tomtom 7 wich isn't official released yet. If you have tt7 you can use the old v6 maps.

Hmm... Well I have a licensed version of tt6 with licensed tt6 maps (v6.6) but I can tell you for sure that these v6.6 maps don't work with tt7.
With tt7 installed, my tomtom home recognises the tomtom device and lets me copy the maps to it, but they don't appear as an option under manage maps in tt7. The only option I have is the map I downloaded from HTC or a button that says 'voucher' which takes me to the same download page on the HTC website. It also doesn't recognise 6.75 maps so unless someone is doing something dodgy to get the maps to work, I can't see how it will work with them.
I managed to get tt6 working on my diamond now though, so I'm happy for the moment. I don't think the extra features of tt7 are worth it but maybe I'll get an upgrade if they offer one when it's officially released.

Did you ever configure the GPS option in TT6? InTT7 it defaults to internal GPS receiver anyway.

TT7 gps is very fast compared to tt6. About the maps: Do a search on the internet. 6.75 works with tt7 but we are not allowed to talk about this (see the closed topic over tt7).

I had TR home installed on my PC - V1.5 (with TT app version as 6.010 and maps. I updated to version the latest version of the maps for version 6 and then install the Cab of 7 on my device over-writing the 6 app.
All works well.
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
1st post, newbie lurker.
I've been googling, searching all over cyber space for either a cab file, or something that will allow me to use my TomTom 6 (legit copy w/ serial #), that I purchased w/ my Treo 700p 3 yrs. ago, w/ my Sprint HTC Touch Pro.
Initial installation, I get the "This version of TomTom is not compatible w/ your phone" (something along those lines).
I've tried
-installing the latest TomTom 7 cab file w/ the TomTom 6 maps and voices, before I read that the TomTom 7 cab will not work w/ TomTom 6 maps
-installing the older version of the TomTom 7 files, though I read and know now that it won't work w/ my TomTom 6 maps
-tried installing the TomTom Nav. 7 cab file, to download the "free map" from the tom tom site, but I kept getting an "error page"
-tried using the TomTom 7 and just purchase the US maps, but tomtom doesn't have US maps available, only European from what I can recall
I've also read that other users w/ the HTC TP have successfully installed their TomTom6, are they using a more up to date version? Do I need to make another massive purchase w/ TomTom?
The box to my TomTom NaV. 6, says compatible w/ WinMobile and Palm OS.
but it is several years old.
TIA for any help and suggestions, and I honestly did do a search and read half way through the TomTom 7 Diamond thread, but wasn't able to find anything useful, other than the cab. files.
If my version is outdated, then is my only option to get a new one? Also, can someone point me the right direction as to where I can buy (legally, from TomTom or 3rd party vendor), the US maps to work w/ the TomTom Nav 7?
Thanks again,
"The FNG"
I have a Fuze, but I have the same questions as you. I've tried installing Navigator 6 and I get an error message and installation is unsuccessful. I've installed Navigator 7 and I can't get it to recognize my v6.75 maps even though people have said these should be backwards compatible. I have downloaded and successfully installed the free city map (Los Angeles). I cannot find anywhere to legally purchase v7.xx North America maps; Tomtom is now selling v8.xx. Can anyone please confirm if Navigator 7 is compatible with 6.75 maps or not? Thanks.
I have tom tom 6 working just fine
I have tom tom 6 working just fine, originally from my 750.
Assuming you have tom tom home installed on your pc.
Copy all of of your tom tom data to the sd card.
Run the cab.
make sure you have your tt code handy.
start tom tom home, it will recognise your new device,( tom tom allow you a device change once every six months)
you will need to register a new account, from then on it just recognises everything.

i have tomtom working on my fuze give me your email address and i will send you the crack
OK, I am using the new TomTom 7.910.9185 with 6.75 maps. Everything has worked fine. However, I downloaded some new TomTom maps (725), deleted the 6.75 maps from my storage card and put the new maps on. I couldn't activate the new maps right way, so I deleted them and copied the 6.75 maps back to my storage card.
I don't know what happened but ever since then TomTom takes about three minutes to start up. I reinstalled the app and it still lags. I didn't delete any files inside of the map folders so i'm not sure what the problem could be.
Any thoughts?
EDIT: never mind. activated new maps. problem solved.
