Sorry guys, maybe this is not the right place where to post this, but i'm new and i need your help.
I bought a TyTN II that come with a Trial version of TomTom but i can only download one map. I tryed to put the maps i purchased in the memory card, but i'm not able to make them to work.
Then i disinstalled the trial version and i install TT6 and it work perfectly, but i need to use an external GPS because in the version of my TT6 there isn't the build in GPS.
There is a driver to make it work?
Thx in advance.

Yes there is you go to tomtom configuration and select other NMEA as the GPS device setting.
PS I will merge this with existing tomtom GPS threads in a while!!

You mean i can use the TT6 with the built in GPS like that?
Great!!! and thx!
How about if i want to use the TT6 that come with the TyTN II and the maps i purchased before?
Is that also possible, or that version can work only with the map you download?
I really can't figure out where to put the folders with others maps
Anyway thank you so much i will try what you told me.

YES - you can use it like that - it works very well. (some folks have to as they do not get the free version on disk)
I use my original tomtom but I believe you can use the one from the disk alongside your previously purchased maps - so long as the maps is in the right location -

hi!
What could be the best gps map software for United States that I shall install on my TyTN II ?
I would reccommed either Googlemaps , or Windows Live search. Live search has more options. but google maps i would have to say is better built
that's just too open-ended a question. take a look at tomtom and iGo to start off. otherwise, googlemaps and live search as stated already

Garmin Mobile XT is another good one. Tips on how to get past their SD card lock are all over the place now.
I downloaded TomTom Navigator in haste, but after trying Google Maps and Windows Live Search, I'm really liking Live Search.
Nav4All is a pretty good one, and its free
iGuidance or TomTom
The problem with googlemaps is no turn by turn and it requires a data connection.
Get something that you put on an SD card and be done with it
Tomtom 6 is the best one ever !!!, I've been sticked to this TT for a couple weeks. It's being worked w/ a charm an I am more than excited happy about it.
If you wanna install Tomtom as your master Navigator, get 2gb micro SD ready since the US data map cost 1.2gb in storage (because TT is an up-to-date in map fully details w/ lot of extras supported such as turn by turn various voices, very much of POIs, traffic alert, weathers ect, ect.....that make them big).
Once you have them you'll forgot other real none-Tomtom GPS devicessss (throw it way). Never pay a single cent for data plan through provider TeleNavplug service !!!
Anyone wish to play GPS on yr PPC(kaiser) ??? please pm or email me, I gonna help you out till you feel happy for it. Since, I spent a lot lot of time for this software minning (Tomtom 6 US data map, tomtom for PPC and .... activation code for it) I would only need a small donation of $10 for my time of searching and testing sucessfull on these good GPS stuffs. thanks.
Iguidance 4.0 for sure as this is the only software w/ TTS (text to speech) for PDA. It will pronounce freeway number w/ direction (N,E,S,W) since 1.0. 4.0 added TTS for street name. But it's a bit ugly and take 1.4G space for the whole USA.
TomTom is good looking and very easy to use. But it's voice prompt engine suck.
Garmin has the most updated and biggest POI database. But the software is quite buggy and hard to use.
Mio, best 3D engine and many eye candy, but it's a resource hog, buggy and always w/ problematic route.
MS Live Search/Google map, I really don't see how they can be use as GPS as it rely on data connections all the time. Who knows when I will go to area w/o any signal and I need GPS the most???

Hey guys,
I just got an HTC touch pro but i live in Egypt so the google maps of Egypt arent very accurate at all and they give no directions watsoever. So before when i was on my HTC P3600 i installed a gps programm by TeleType and added the maps of my country to it in the folder of my maps and it worked perfectly. When i came to do that on my HTC touch pro 6.1 windows mobile it didnt wana install and it said GPS not a valid pocket pc application. Ive been looking for another gps software to install on my touch pro and cudnt find anything. Could any1 help em please? i have my countrys maps but i just need a software that will work and that i can add my maps to so i can get the turn by turn directions.
Thanks alot

TOMTOM is good?

GPS for HTC Pro
Oziexplorer + your own maps or you can use iGO 2006 or iGO 8 /Nav N Go 8/ it works great with HTC Pro. And there is the map of Egypt too...
Igo is great Israeli software
I'm using NavNGo's iGO 8 - works like a charm.
TomTom Navigator 7 - TomTom told me that they indeed would release version 7 soon. Until now, only select Dimanond users had it preinstalled.
Both programs are working 100% on Touch Pro
The Doc.
hi, please onsi11 could you tell me where did you buy the htc touch pro from cause i can't find it anywhere in Egypt
I can sell you mine. It's less than 2 weeks old but no dings, scratches, dents... you basically wouldn't know it's used unless I told you.
I can put up an auction on ebay for it if you're interested. I'd be looking for $850 plus shipping & handling but I'd figure that out based on whichever way you want it shipped.
I got mine from a store in Ontario here in Canada.
I'm sorry i'm a lil bit out of the subject...
but helraiser,
I am from montreal, quebec, and i was about to buy the Touch Pro also. I'm just wondering if you had any trouble using this phone with Rogers network?
Thanks

Hi Onsi!
In the Storage Card, there's a folder named "iGO8".
In this folder, there's a text file named "sys".
Please copy the content of this file and paste it to a reply here and I'll try and help you fix the problem.
BR,
EP
Can someone move this to Rapahel general forum?
This is only for ROM development...
Cheers
HTC touch pro reply
thank you very much for answering. here is exactly what was in sys file:
[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"
[interface]
maxzoom2d=6000000

Looks just as it should!
Make sure that in your Storage Card there's indeed an "iGO8" folder... If you have moved or renamed it - that may be the reason for iGO not running.

Hi
The mod has closed the TomTom thread below prematurely. I've tried to install TT7 on my diamond2 using a number of different cab files, but each time a message pops up cancelling the installation and tells me that my device is not compatible.
Can anyone direct me to a cab for TT7 that is PROVEN to have installed on a stock ROM diamond2?
Thanks
Stoatie
PS - the phone ROCKS. Touch flo much better and much more functional.

Hi, try searching for 'ttn7.9185 vga black.cab'. Looks like I might have caused some confusion with the other thread as its obviously the wrong resolution. I didn't realise sorry!
It does work though. Some of the interface is slightly stretched. I don't use TT so didn't really notice.
Apologies!
TomTom 6 does not work, it either crashes or the display is distorted.
I installed a TT7 cab from on these forums that works on the surface (when using a free map downloaded from tomtom's website) but screws up the navigation when driving.
Even if the version 7 cab worked properly there doesn't seem to be any way to get legal maps for it. My paid-for maps from my version6 tomtom are not recognised by version 7 and I have wasted £39 on new maps because Tomtom Home won't let me install them to my device stating that I have the wrong navigation software or something.

Exactly. Which is why at 11:30pm I gave up, consigned my TOMTOM, and the maps I'd legally paid for, to history and went to Handango and paid for and downloaded CoPilot. I heartily recommend it. TOMTOM are assholes. Sorry for the profanity, but they DONT DESERVE ANYTHING FROM US.
Chill...its a new unit...new software
Why should TomTom have to keep up with Windows?
Yes you paid but you paid for a product that worked for your previous phone.
I can sense your frustration but TomTom have no guarantee to ensure its products work with all products just like you wouldnt expect the first dos version of Pacman to work in XP/Vista
I'm sure they will in due time release a patch for it - and I'm sure a similar issue will occur in 6.5 and in 7 of windows mobile

It's nothing to do with the new phone. It's their decision to treat everyone like criminals. The last time I changed phone they made me wait 2 months before they would let me transfer the licence for the maps to the new device. This was Western Europe which I bought for a sizable chunk of cash from them. Their support is awful. The software itself is clunky on the device and terrible on the desktop. I just don't feel like devoting 2 days of my life to this everytime I get a new phone.
I have to say CoPilot has been a dream in comparison. It looks so much fresher and is so much more intuitive to use. Things like contact look-up just WORK, and it picks up the GPS position in seconds compared to the TOMTOM. Honestly, I've seen people saying the CoPilot routing isn't great, and I have to confess that I haven't used it for any challenging long routes yet, but I'm EXTREMELY impressed by it. It's built for Windows Mobile, and compared to TOMTOM, it shows.
Anyone who is thinking of plonking down cash for TT maps should instead go and download the CoPilot trial to have a look at it.

I got the touch Diamond version. You download 2 folders which you copy to the device, and it then kicks off the installation. I was worried cause I'd selected the Diamond version that it would install in main memory instead of on the card, but it gave me the same options you'd expect anyway.

Hi,
I have the Touch Diamond2 and the CoPilot 7 Touch Diamond edition. However, i cannot get the program to work.
1. I copied the entire contents of thd DVD to my microSD card and started the install (the copilot.wm6ppc.cab file in the 2577 directory).
2. It installs but when i start CoPilot, i get a "Unable to open CoPilot. Please make sure that the storage card is inserted or that the data has been properly downloaded"
3. After pressing ok, i eventually get to the 'Tips and Tricks' screen, then i cant use the screen to input and then forced to soft reset the phone
Does anyone know a way around this problem?
Thanks for any help.
