hey guys!
i "acquired" tomtom 6 for my Tilt, but it only included a US and Canada. I again "acquired" a european map. I copied it over to my SD card where my US Map is, but TomTom did not recognize the map.
What should i do?
Stop "acquiring" maps and buy them from TomTom licensed if you're going to use them.
Piracy is a crime!

Just put the european map in its own folder at the root of your sd card.
you cant put it inside the us map folder.
i tried putting 3 different maps into the root folder, and tomtom only recognized the US map.
piracy can't be a crime if its this easy
aquiring maps can be hard, especially for TomTom, cuz you need to make sure all of your aquired content matches... all numbers match up. so there is your problem, you probably dont have maps that match with the version of tomtom.
For the purpose of this answer I'm going to assume that you have a legal copy of TomTom and it's Maps ...
The Maps should be in the root directory of the SD card and often end in the directory name "xxxx_map".
TomTom's latest version of Maps are at v7+.
TomTom for PDA (or mine, at least) is at v6.x and will not load these maps. If you have TT6 you will need maps of v6.00 - v6.75
TomTom maps of v7+ are designed for TTGo, 5xx, 7xx, 9xx etc. and the TT O/S will be upgraded via TT Home.
In summary, the solution for TT on a TytnII - Use v6.xx maps in the root directory of the SD card.
If you do not have a legal copy of Tomtom, please do not search for answers inside this forum !!.

Post reopened.
Happy New Year!!!
Hello everybody... I am a new owner of an HTC touch pro, awesome little unit. Ive been searching hi n low for the Tom tom download link,,, no go, rapidshare has deleted them... anybody know of current links? Be much appreciated!!! When I get spooled up, I will share what I find, just got er yesterday, my eyes are bulging from all the fun
Im not sure if this is borderline warez.
I have tomtom 7.910 and currently running on version 8 maps.
Is posting of the application allowed here but just not the maps - if so, i will post the application.
Sample map and postcodes
Can somebody guide me how to activate postcode search functionality for UK when using sample downloaded map? Is it possible at all? I've downloaded the file from TomTom website, extracted it to various places like Program Files/Navigator, Internal Storage etc. and it still doesn't work.
Any help appreciated
you don't extract the files, just put the files and the folder 'zip' in your tomtom program file
zip being american postcode not zip and is zip file
OK so where exactly should they be? At the moment it looks like that:
\Program Files\Navigator\ZIP\Great_Britain.postal
\Program Files\Navigator\ZIP\Great_BritainPostal.ver
But I tried several other locations as well.

Tomtom by itself unmodified is NOT warez, however there is versions on the web which has been cracked. Those are warez versions of tomtom.
The newer Tomtom7 versions had their map authentication updated, now it authenticates license online. There is versions on the web which deactivates that additional authentication, if you post one of those then it is WAREZ.
Original unmodified Tomtom7 is a free program.
hi everybody! the link for download is not avaiable anymore... where can i find it again?
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).

Probably
Generally it's not wise to use warez, let alone admit that you are. Regardless, it might be best to not mention it for the fact that you may be suspended / banned as other posts stipulate.

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.
I've installed TT7 on my Tilt and the install went fine. I've even downloaded the one free city (Miami) map. However, when I start up the software all I ever get is the waiting for a valid gps signal. I've run the quickgps to get the latest updates. Are there any other settings that I need to look at? I've read something about gpstest and gpsrouter but really don't know much about those. Am I missing something or have I done something wrong?
Update: Well I drove around for about an hour after work and it finally kicked in and started working. But, looks like I have a Map issue. I live about a mile from the ocean and Tom Tom is working cuz i see my position and the ocean is nearby. But, the area where I am is just one big green mass. I didn't see my address/street when I went to set that up either.
1) Running GPStest and minimizing it makes it get a fix sooner.
2) You are not on the map you have. Tomtom doesn't have a very large map area compared to where you want to be, apparently.
Even after downloading the latest maps for your city, some places are still not available. With TT7, I believe you can edit or download map edits and such from other users. I'm not sure whether this is only with POI's or with 'blank areas' as well.
Btw, I don't think that it would show your address when you're are home. Even after you've entered the address, it would probably show that you're somewhere very near.
had the same thing happen to me. I selected to download the free Houston, Tx map, unfortunatly I live outside of downtown, and I am in a green blob as well. If you buy a full map of your state, or find if your in a subcity (smaller city just outside) then you need to try to find the right map.
Anyone know where I can get a cab file of GPSTest?
use a search engine like google!
http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&q=GPSTest&btnG=Google-Suche&meta=
http://classic.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=24687&associateid=9
another test tool: VisualGPSce
its best to run the test when u are outside (duhh lol found out the hard way lol, lacked common sense) i first installed the Wilmington DE map and then from my acutally GPS tomtom i copied the US and Canada Map over to my phone and ran another application to make it compatible to TT7 and now the GPS works better
Thanks for the files. Any suggestions on where to find some good maps? I drove into work this morning and the Tom Tom failed to get a connection. Has anyone else experienced and or solved this lengthy connection time issues?
Maybe I should start a new thread for this but as the title of this thread is non-specific I thought I'd post here rather than creating a new one. I installed TT7 on my kaiser yesterday after running TT6 for several months. I read that TT7 was compatible with both TT6 and TT7 maps, however when I loaded up TT7 and tried to access my existing map of Western Europe it did not appear in the list of available maps. Is there a solution for this problem or does anyone know where I can get a "trial" version of Western Europe map for TT7?

TT6 maps are NOT compatible with TT7. Also, there is no trail for WE - you have to buy it (£49.95) from TomTom and follow the instructions in respect of hacking TTH2.3 with the tweaked jar file, downloading the map you bought to your pc, manually transferring it (and the activation file) to your SD card and voila.
I did this very thing last night and it runs a treat!
I have TomTom7 installed on my Diamond with the sample map working correctly. I have an additional map that I wish to install. I've manually extracted the files and transferred them to my internal storage. TomTom sees the map but refuses to load it stating "not the correct activation code". I have a code but not sure how to supply it.
Do I need to install the maps via PC software or is there another way to provide the activation code that I'm missing?
Much probably your activation key is wrong. TomTom requires a unique activation key for each phone that has been created for that special machine's unique device-ID.
Contact TomTom office, and ask for a new activation code.
In order to install the maps legally, you need to use TomTom Home as far as I know.
The maps were provided with the phone but I now suspect they're not legal as TomTom says they don't support V7 maps for my location!
Is there a process for installing non-standard TomTom maps?
yes. i know of a way, but you cannot discuss how to on this board.

Good try... But no operator or no provider gives TomTom maps... Only map you are gifted is from tomtom, just a local city map. I know it's expensive, but be legal and buy the maps.
