hey guys, i recently upgraded to tomtom7, however, i would like to also move all my favorites from tomtom6 without having to manually enter all of them. where would i find those on my memory card so i can transfer them? thanks
omar
Anyone?
This is something I've been trying to find how as its incredibly frustrating, I can't see anything in the original documentation or anything on how to do this.
Have you tried here, http://www.tomtom.com/support/support.php?ID=2&Language=4???????????????
This is XDA-Developers, not TomTom support. Geesh!

Correct, and unless I'm very mistaken many people discuss various 3rd party software applications, their merits and also tweaks/twiddles to make them work correctly on their Kaiser, etc.
Checking the software forum I see various other topics that you could apply the same logic to.
BTW; TomTom actually advise to manually re-enter the favourites between versions, which isn't a very good customer support reply in my opinion. I'm now following a path which shows the .cfg in the maps folder seems to be the key to migrating favourites over.

There are two apps that I have used that I must say make the GPS built into the Kaiser along with its data connectivity pretty cool. Of course, the GPS is a great tool for mapping software such as TomTom, iGuidance, Google Maps, MS Live Search, and others... but the possibilities of GPS in a connected device like the Kaiser can lead to many other great things. Two that I have found useful are Mobile Justice and 3d Tracking. Here is a quick description of what they are.
First, I have installed Mobile Justice which alerts you when a SIM card is changed and will send a text message to a number of your choosing when it is changed... for example it was stolen and a card was sent in. It can also send the current GPS location. In addition, you can send the device a text message with a keyword and request at any time, the current GPS location. You can also put a message on the device screen. I know people often cook this application into ROMs. I hope that someone does this for a future Kaiser kitchen. I learned about the new GPS features here: http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/mobile_justice_sms_your_phone.html
The other app that I have used that is kind of nifty is 3d tracking. It updates your GPS location in near real time to a website that you can use a PC to monitor. The mapping is done using Google maps. Very cool way to keep track of valuables such as your teenagers. ;-)

What other cool uses for the GPS have you found to use with your Kaiser?
I think the latest is the GPS photo functionality that was discovered to be built in. We were talking about this functionality at work but in an actual camera. Little did I know that i would discover this same function active in my TyTn II

I did see that in the forums which just made the camera in the phone that much more useful. Very useful when on hikes or vacationing to take a quick snapshot. Sure, the camera on the phone is not a replacement for a high quality digital camera, but it is convenient and in outdoor light, does a pretty good job. Combined with the GPS tagging, it is fun too. I hope we get to see even more uses for the integrated GPS.
Please explain

Can you please explain this function and how it can be used.
I am using Nokia's smart2go gps software in my Tytn-II and its working gr8, with Nokia's maploader u can download very detailed maps with very good databases particularly for middle-east.
Similar to your Mobile Justice product, here's one I saw the other day. Its kind of like LoJack for your phone:
http://www.pocketpc-live.com/pocketpc-softwares/ultimate-theft-alert-v3-for-pocket-pcs-2.html
It You can have your phone let you know where it is if its ever lost.
The company I work for does gps tracking for sports (running, skiing etc). I won't post the link, as i dont want to be seen as advertising.
But its pretty cool to be able to see how fast you ski (57.2mph is my fastest so far).
Someone sent me a note on this site that does something similar to 3d tracking. I will try it out now to see how it works.
http://gps.gpsxml.com/
Here is another tool that has a description with features similar to WIMP (Where Is My Phone) and Mobile Justice. Has anyone heard of it or tested it before? It is called Ultimate Theft Alert and has GPS as an add-on option.
http://www.pocketpc-live.com/pocketpc-softwares/ultimate-theft-alert-v3-for-pocket-pcs-2.html
I had no idea there were so many tools for GPS integrated mobile phones. Here is another freebie, this time from a well known PPC developer, VITO Technology. It is called FindMe
http://www.vitotechnology.com/en/products/findme.html
And for those with coding experience... here is an example with source code.

Basic use would be if you wanted to add pictures to a map (google earth i believe supports this) you take a picture and in geomarks your pic.
It is basically done by regedit - you can read more on this in this exact forum (should be on page one or two -- easy for us to say this while the kaiser forum is still fresh)
Have a look at this..... http://www.reperion.com/
Downloaded the software, registered an account and now my handset can be tracked by anyone with a pc.
yeah the file download was down before, working now, will try this one out

This is free for now it seems. I will try it out. Do you know if it is any different than 3d tracking? That one is free too.
Had a quick look t 3d tracking, reprion looks to do asimilar thing.
Both seem pretty cool anyway
Some more interesting GPS software: http://www.jgui.net/gps/index.html
Personal observation: There should be a standard for SMS messages whereby the GPS coordinates of the sender can be sent along with text or mms messages. This would be handy for location based services and when chatting with friends.
AND wth pda's

Somthing wrong with the GPS
Hi
There's something definitely wrong with the GPS happening from time to time.
Today, TomTom was off by nearly 1 kilometre using the internal GPS. Using BT GPS everything was fine.
After a restart: the location was spot on again.
It has happened to me 3-4 times now that the GPS is completely off the charts.
Wonder if this could be fixed with a Radio ROM update ..

Sorry to maybe possible hijack this threat a little. I am also using smart2go. But I can't download any maps to my MicroSD with the Maploader. It always complaint that there is no space in my card (which has 3.7GB free). How were you able to download the maps to your card?
Many thanks in advance!
PS. Never mind. I found out that Smart2Go probably has a problem with storage cards larger than 2GB as if I use smaller MicroSD cards, the Map Loader works fine. So the solution is to run Smart2Go with a blank 2G or smaller card, then copy the files to the 4G MicroSDHC. Then Map Loader works (with a size limit of 1.8G for map data).....
Ok so still having some problems.
As noted here

Some programs don't instal for me, WIMP did install however (haven't tested it yet) so my assumption would be some kind of security setting that is on when installing cabs, do you guys turn it off? (i remember there was a way to do this with the Hermes) or do these apps just install out of the box (per se)?
EDIT:
Looks like its some kind of problem when i transfer the file over via activesync to the card. I put it on via straight pc to another card and it installs fine.
Hi guys... anyone played with the application http://www.mgmaps.com/ and actually got it to work with the internal GPS unit?
I've tried, but all I get is "GPS functionality not available on this phone".
Took a look on their support forum, and lots of others seem to be having difficulty getting this baby to recognize internal GPS units.
So,,, just thought I'd ask the experts...
/drt
They have a page that talks about how to fully set it up on a Windows Mobile device.
http://www.mgmaps.com/winset/
Look at step 13. "If you have an internal GPS on WM6, you can assign a virtual serial port to it with this GPSID Configuration utility." They link to a .CAB that you can download.
Try that.

Thanks for the idea, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. No mater what I set the ports to, I get the same message. Do you have settings which work?
i dont get it, why not just install the free google maps software?
Because it is software that amazingly can access arieal photos from many different sources, also sets up a storage for maps so you can use them offline and reload then instead of downloading the images everytime you start google maps. I am working on this and will post as soon as I have an answer.
Does anyone know what files like "cspeech_NLD.dat" are for?
There are with the 7.20 maps of Western & Central Europe.
Is it perhaps part of the TomTom text-to-speech? Does that work with Navigator when you use one of Loquendo computer voices from e.g. the GO 910?
These files are for the text-to-speech (TTS) part indeed. However, it doesn't seem to work in TT7 for PDA. I would like it to too...
About the cspeech File in TomTom maps
I have searched the Internet quite a bit because I thought about the very same question, but certain information about this topic is very rare - few people know it exactly.
But since this has been always a splinter in my mind I searched for it and found out the following:
the cspeech files are for a text-to-speech feature, which reads street names for example. You can watch a demo at YouTube here.
However, despite some assumptions it works definitely NOT with TomTom Navigator 7, which is the latest Software for PDA (Smartphone, Windows Mobile, etc.). Probably TomTom 8 will do it when it is available for PDAs.
So you might think about deleting these files to safe the ~250 MB (For Western- & Central Europe map) of space.
However many users report crashs without the files so I suggest you to replace them with 0 kB dummy files instead of just deleting them. This seems to work very good.
I uploaded a pack below which contains dummies for all countries. Just pick the ones for the files you have and override your originals. (However you also could make dummies on your own)
Happy navigating!
I hope you don't mind me to dig out this topic again, because I thought it would be very valuable information which is not easy to find in the internet.

thanks man, that is useful
I was trying to look what's on the Forum ftp and I noticed that I can't get to the 'Diamond' folder?
All other folders ( I haven't tried all ) I can get in to.. but not 'Diamond...
I think this would be an excellent place to upload all Games, Apps, SPL, ROM's, themes....and so on... and have it linked with the wiki!
I think the wiki isn't being used as it should... or am I wrong?
Anyone know anything about this?
I'm sorry if this shuld have been posted somewhere else, but it is about the Diamond...
hi there. you know, there is a problem with storing MS property... microsoft said, that we cannot store ROMs, radios and other MS stuff, because you just bought license to use that software, no that software itself. too bad, because now you need to search a lot for older versions of ROMs and software, and it is not on one place. There is also a petition against microsoft to allow us sharing and modification of their windows mobile. if you are intrested, sign in - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294213
ok, that to bad
As you said, now everything is scaddered all over...
But It's still the best place for me and my Diamond!
BIG thanx to everybody!
Yeah, I've signed the petition!
(Please correct me if I should ask submit such a request here or in the software forum.)
I exchanged my defective Tilt for a new one and unfortunately didn't back up my cab files I loaded. Through searching here I managed to get some back, but I'm lost on finding a few others. Can someone point me to the following cabs? Thanks.
Internet Sharing (To replace program ATT removed from new Tilt's)
Task Manager (i.e. made tasks icons on title bar)
Have you Checked P1Tater's or AllTheWay's 4Shared? Could even be in Scotchua's
I've looked at a number of threads, but I don't remember those. I'm new at this. Do I search for those terms to get there?
Also, I feel like a real putz, because I can't remember how I installed the cabs last go around. Can you tell me? For example I have the cab for Opera 9.5, but don't remember what to do with it. Thanks.
At the Top of the Threads list Click the One that says "READ THIS FIRST" It will have a link to their file repositories.

1. To install a .cab, just plug in your phone, copy the .cab over to the Documents on your phone, then go into your phone, do Start Menu > Programs > File Explorer, go to My Documents, then click on the .cab
