DeviceID

Hi,
I need a little help.
I've not had my Diamond for long and new to WinMo and I'm trying to put TT7 on it, but I need to get the DeviceID, but don't know where to locate it?
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks,
DG.

If you already installed TT then connect your phone to PC and locate navigator.bif file! openit with Notepad and there you find a lots of info, and your device ID

Also, device ID should popup when you launch the program with directions to activate the installed map. ( at leat with Tom Tom 6

If you had be using a purchased version of TT then you would not need to locate the DeviceID

Hey, had the same problem m8
heres what you do
open tomtom7, on the map in the botton right hand corner is the time and right below is satelite connecton indicator. Tap that and then tap ''version'', also botton right hand corner. And BAM there is your DeviceID.
Deeds.

Thanks guys!
I'm going to try that tonight... hope I don't have too much trouble with it... after readying here, it seems people are having a bit of a mare with it!
Windoze9t8, I know I should be using a purchased one, but after coughing up 350 queens heads on a phone, another 200 on a piece of software if a little extreme! (well, thats the cost on the tomtom site!)
I got tt7, it says its for HTC, hope it works!
Wish me luck!

Yes but where to buy TT7?

Indeed you wont need a device ID when you have purchased and or use tomtom maps legally you can see your device ID.
You cant buy tt7 (yet) tt6 will work

No joy with TT7 anyway!
The Home2Go or whatever it is could not install / run after I copied it to the phone? I'm either doing something totally wrong or I got the wrong file.
It was the legal one you get from tomtom website, then you install that and then the maps... apparently!
Any other free apps? I tried google maps, but it uses a data connection and I just want to use the GPS so it doesn't be costing me anymore monies!
Just out of interest (legal copy or not) when I connect to the phone via ActiveSync, do I just generally copy apps there and run them, or is there a way to install them from my machine to the phone via ActiveSync? For TT7 I created a folder called 'Navigation' and put it in there (obviously from reading above, it didn't work!)
If only it a drag and drop hey...
DG

sorry if i am wrong, but nobody here know that the device id is in:
settings/system/device information/identity ? are you speaking about IMEI? isn't this the device identity? i think there is also a key combination you "dial" and the phone will return you the IMEI..i don't remember which.

This is not true. If you'd previously been using TT on a different device then you will need to give the DeviceID to TomTom (direct or via www.ttcode.com) in order to reactivate your maps on the new device. I had to do this when moving from a C500 to an M600.

The DeviceID is a 'TomTom-ism' - a code that TomTom uses to uniquely identify your device. It must be obtained through some process involving fixed identities of the device and so whilst it could well be derived from IMEI it is not actually the IMEI itself.

Give the ID yes, but you dont have to locate it as the code splash screen appears with the code on - which you then provide to the site ttcode.com, if one is trying to find the code in the bif file then that method is being used as a hacked version of TT - repacked
Although you have the ability to activate TT on other devices every six months TTs agreement indicates you may only use the product once on one device.

it is £50 for the Western Europe version of TT 7.** maps and the application is around on the net.
Dont get me wrong I'm not having a go - just making a point. I am really P*Off with TT as they do not offer an upgrade policy for people who have early version maps like myself.
Good Luck

AFAIK the only official way to get TT7 is by purchasing a Diamond with it pre-installed like the German XDA form O2 (maybe other countries too) then you can get the 7.2 version maps from the TT website.

iGO 8 POI's not showing

I'm having problems with iGo 8 not displaying POI's, I have June 3rd update if that hellps. Tried the sys.txt change so it displays pois from an earlier date but that won't fix it either. I've tried uninstalling it and wiping everything away and still won't fix it. I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks.

If you had the old POIs, they wont work. You need to get the new ones and if you bought the program ain a legit way, that shouldn't be a progrblem

iGO8 POI's are in KML format and are placed in:
/iGO8/content/userdata/poi/
Your KML key *data* must be named properly, or you'll get categories which don't match your data so might be hard to find. I believe the filename is arbitrary, but I'd suggest keeping the same filename(s) if you update/add POIs later.

I have the same problem, poi's don't work since I've upgraded versions.
Found this over at PPCGeeks, but haven't had a chance to try it myself. Give it a go and let me know if it works...
Add this to \Program Files\Igo8\sys.txt
[poi]
enable_pois_before_080217=1

nevermind guys i got it working..for some reason my poi file wasnt in there...thanks eveeyone

You mean an earth icon. Anyway, that one is a pain in the ass. There has been a long-standing bug where they apparently ONLY look at the icon files in one of the zip files they use on the fly if that file is available. You can remove the file and your custom icons will work again.
HOWEVER. Getting that zip to work right again I have lots of problems with, I don't recall how I fixed it last time to be honest. Just random zip on it doesn't seem to work. You might post on the Navi forums to see if they can help.
Ah, from my post on this long ago it looks like I wound just swapping out some data files, since I never could get my modified zip file to work properly.

Sweet.. Was wondering when they were going to release this... Installed but says cant uninstall the other googlemaps install..
Thanks for the update on this...

Finally!
This is the coolest thing to hit my Tilt in weeks! I can't wait to show it to my wife, so she can roll her eyes at me

I found a cab file and got it working. the site seems to have the .jad file

It works fine on my Tilt (and it uninstalled the previous version).
Why doesn't Google Maps Mobile have an auto-update function?

has anyone in the UK managed to get the Street View feature working. Ive tried to get some street views of london but I just get an error message saying "street view not available" :-(

no more cut and paste?
dunno if anyone else noticed but there is no more cut and paste with this release / sans iPhone functionality. I may have been in the minority of folks to actually use this feature, especially with goecaching and being able to just cut and paste the coords into the search bar and go..
Anyone know if its possible to have different versions of the same app installed on the same device? I tried renaming the google directory but that disables the app..

Very very nice. That street view is pretty cool.

I have installed this but cannot seem to be able to get street view... is this not available in the UK?

Links to cab file
The cab files are here:
http://m.google.com/maps/download?dc=gmm
http://m.google.com/gmm/gmm.jad?dc=gmm&ver=v2.3.2
Use PIE to download. If you use Skyfire or a pc you will get the .jad file.
About damn time they released this for WM. I hate playing catchup to the iphone, but since they just beat WM market share...

2.3.2 means you're reading it wrong, or it's not the same thing. Sure you're not looking at the Java version or something?

I also tested the street view out, nothing seems to work in the uk, just says street view is unavailable, but if i navigate over to the US it brings up images...
Saw some nice pictures of New York

Indeed. Its actually a little bit worse than 7.450, and speed lag is greater too.

How do you install this software - please help

How do you install TomTom 6 on a HTC Diamond? I got it working on an old HTC device without problems but on the Diamond it says 'no maps found'.
If this question has already been answered please point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

Your copy of TomTom 6 is a legit full copy including over a gig's worth of data, right? not just some cab you found floating around here?
Anyway you may need to install it on your device off your chip (the install is triggered by an autorun file) where you also have map and other data stored. I've had no problems with this over many roms on my last two phones however be advised that some roms, romeos for example, fire up the autorun if the chip's in on the first boot whereas on others, rre for example, it may not appear to do anything but possibly install in the background.
So what's the specific problem? Gets to the install but cannot find maps? Bottom line though you need the full copy from the TomTom people to have any shot yourself and you need that full copy to be legit (versus cracked) if you want anyone on xda to attempt to help you. Not suggesting it ain't but just advising you.
One thing potentially helpful that I will go ahead and throw your way now is suggesting you throw in the towel on tomtom for now and check out amazegps which I hear is free, turn by turn, voice -- basically tomtom except no huge install, rather it downloads data as you drive which is okay if you've got a car charger and are driving where there's cell coverage ideally in the country native to your carrier. I don't quite now yet why it's free, perhaps they've got some datamining or advertising dreams they sold on some venture capitalists and got lucky. Haven't tried it myself but if you do I'd appreciate it if you'd report back your findings on my website.
http://www.amazegps.com/index.php?page=register (oh yeah you have to register to get your secret code but not too much private info)
Good luck with all that...

I appreciate your input/advice but please spare me the self righteous cr*p. It's over a gigs worth of data but it is a copy. It worked perfectly on my HTC Touch.
The actual problem? Installs OK, the app launches but it doesn't function because the 'no maps found' error is displayed.
Thanks Deech, I will give that a go.
