GPS Software on Diamond

Which GPS software works best?
I am having difficulty installing CoPilot 7 (came with my Cruise but I never used it so I have the license and maps). I'm looking for something that has support for GCC maps because I'm in Dubai

Can I ask what issues you are having with installing Copilot? I was thinking of running Copilot 7 when I get my device and would be interested to hear. Is it because the Diamond doesn't have an MicroSD slot and Copilot only comes on SD? Or is it because it is a Cruise specific version?
Incidently, found this on the Copilot support site ("How do I recreate my V7 PPC SD card ?") which may help...

Looking at the PDF it contains, it theoretically should allow you to install to and run on the Diamond. Don't know until I get my Diamond, but worth a go.
Good luck.

I'd really like to get Copilot working. The one I have is Copilot 7 but the message I get is "you are not authorized to install this version of the software on this device" - although the Copilot Central [PC] software recognises the phone as a compatible device!

Did you register Copilot on your Cruise?
Have you posted a support question to ALK? They may have an answer.
Sounds like its either pre-registered on another device, or more likely, it isn't compatible with WM6.1. Have you downloaded the latest version through Copliot Live. I think they did an update amonth or so ago. Hopefully that may be WM 6.1 compatible.

I got my Cruise in April and never registered or even installed Copilot so it's definitely not been used. Still fiddling around with it before I post a support question as I've only had the phone a few hours. Thanks for the tip- checking now for an update

I haven't got my diamond ... yet.
But with Co-pilot 6 I had a similar error, and needed to "uninstall" the license via the web just to upgrade 6.0.1 to 6.0.4. In CP6 this was a bit of a pain, according to the documentation it should be easier with CP7??

Thought so...
CoPilot is pretty good. To be honet I hadn't heard of it until I got it with my Cruise but the maps look great!

i am using Garmin Mobile xt on my Diamond with canada-Us maps and it work perfectly

Does anyone knows an application that shows me the current speed and the geographical height?

Hi there,
i have been having the same sort of problems as you did, i ca't figure out which GPS program to use with my HTC Diamond, and it's a hassle finding maps for Egypt and that are also compatible with the program.
Can you help out in any of these points, i'd apreciate it.

Where did you get the upgrade from if you don't mind me asking.
I used to have a Cruse (with TT), then I lost it just as the MWg Atom V came out So I purchased CoPilot 7 at the same time but never installed it when I realised the MWg was a load of C*********. Now I have a Diamond and an unused CoPilot 7 that I would like to use. I have used the update in the CoPilot Central program. but still no joy.

Possible upgrade to Copilot Central required - I had a similar problem
This was the instruction I was sent by ALK...
1. Please ensure you have exited CoPilot Central on your PC
2. Download the Central Update by going to http://www.alk.eu.com/files/v7/Central_v0.5.52.4_patch.exe and click OPEN / RUN when asked to in your web browser.
3. You should see a message saying "This patch will update CoPilot Central to the latest version". Click OK to proceed
4. Click START and the update will start extracting files to the default location where CoPilot Central is installed to - this should be C:\Program Files\CoPilot\Central - if you have installed CoPilot Central to a different location, please ensure that the patch is installed to the appropriate location.
5. Once complete, start CoPilot Central and go into HELP | ABOUT and you should now see 0.5.108.0​
Also to download the latest version of the mobile app manually try here...

I think most of the GPS programs do, but you could try out GPS tuner, which turns your phone into a gps (not turn by turn navigation).

MDA Compact IV - Rebuilding CoPilot Folder

Hi,
I've just got my UK MDA Compact IV but I stupidly reformatted the Internal Storage when doing a Hard Reset and now while CoPilot runs fine, there are no Maps or Voices.
ALK's support site suggests using CoPilot Centre which is great except since CoPilot came preinstalled I don't have it.
Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the folder or other instructions for rebuilding the folder ?
Thanks
Paul

Satnav on HTC Diamond

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

Tomtom 7.910.9185 update for HTC diamond

Just came across this update for tomtom 7
http://download.tomtom.com/sweet/navcore/navcore_7.910.9185_TT_SIGNED.htc_diamond.cab
Seems to work OK on mine, but I never had any problems with lag
Bixx

already posted here somewhere...

Thanks buddy

Does it just install over the top of your old one >????

crash to install for me with tomtom 7.910 already install in intern storage....
Edit:
Also crash after uninstall of the old version

works fine on my diamond and cruise

Might find that it conflicts with the maps you have from your "older" version....install at you peril

ok so you suggest me to remove everything about tomtom on my phone, to install it and reput all on?

Can someone explain the diferentes with previous version?
Willem

Ok i had wrong: you have to unzip the file, it's not a cab but a rar files ...
Inside of you have a cab of tomtom which installed IN the phone memory and NOT into the storage ...
And what about the autorun.exe?
I don't know ....

Yeah, problem with my licence card now ...

theres also a raphael version http://download.tomtom.com/sweet/navcore/navcore_7.910.9185_TT_SIGNED.htc_raphael.cab

i have yet to see differences in all of these TomTom updates...

Works fine on my diamond, but im using version 8 maps.
Also, i installed after a format so i had no existing tomtom on there.

kaos_king,
What device did you state that you were purchasing the maps for when buying the maps form the Tomtom shop?
I downloaded TT 7.910 via TTHome 2.5 without problem and installed a sample map. This is working fine, so i'm ready to purchase a map, but am unsure which device option to specify and indeed, whether it makes any difference as its a map only.
Thanks.

TOM TOM iInstall on the Diamond

I am sorry if this has been answered before, but I have tried to search for an answer to this but not found any.
I've attempted to install TOMTOM 5 on my Diamond with no success and any help would be much appreciated.
I have the disc and the path is D:\disc1\tomtom-navigator-5-Benelux\setup. When I run the install, the dreaded message 'TomTom Setup Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience' is displayed.
I copied the whole disc1 folder to the internal storage on my diamond but all the files were read only. Where am I going wrong??!!??

If you want to install tomtom at your phone then you need a .cab file just do a search at this forum and you will find one the only thing is that its a tomtom 7. and I don't believe it will run the maps of tomtom 5 but whit a good search in Google or somewhere else you maid find aswell the right maps.
Willem

Thanks, but what ,cab file? What is a .cab file?

A .cab file is used to install applications on Windows Mobile devices. Only TomTom 7 or later will work with the Diamond as no earlier versions worked with the inbuilt GPS receiver.

Before I used TT7.9 I had TT6.30 running on my MDA IV, getting a fix was horrible thought, but after that TT6.30 worked just fine...

Is that the reason I can't get the maps to work on the Diamond I picked up on Friday
Strange as the TT version I have, 5.1, worked great on the internal one on the SPVm700 I just moved away from.
My issue is how to get TT to read the maps. Once I've installed the cab files on the device I can't get them to read the maps on the internal storage. If I try and install the cab files on the internal I can't get TT to fire.
Really don't know where to go next - and dn't want to go back to teh m700 when traveling.
Ta muchly

i think its the location on where you're maps should be placed. On my diamond, the map files are located on the ROOT of the internal storage. Thats the only way it seems for it to be found. So it should be place in : Mobile Device\Internal Storage.
