its all ok, just post your question in the touch pro section.
But I think its not necesary, u already have the answer.

Moved to Raphael, aka Touch Pro, Forum.

HTC Touch Pro do not seem to have HTC Home. In the "Today" settings, there is the HTC Touch Flo enabeled. I tried to runn iGO with it desabeled, but no succes.
So, I think there must be some other way...

Install iGo8, then search for the latest update. Install the latest update, remove the iGo8 Today plugin in Setting > Today > Items, and add a link in the "Programs" tab of TF3D. That should do it (works fine on my Touch Pro)

Got it working now....

Just a quick question, does it work in landscape mode on the touch pro?

Uhm, I don't know why it isn't working for you because on my Touch Pro it works great. Just installed it, copied the appropriate files for my country (the Netherlands) into the appropriate dirs as mentioned in the readme and that's it. Uhm, no, I had to set the GPS on com4 in iGo8 to get the gps working but that was all I had to do.

Just tried it. Works great in landscape too.

Can you confirm that the maps render and scroll smoothly when navigating now unlike the jerky movement you have with the Kaiser?

I can't compare with the Kaiser, I never had one. But map scrolling seems ok to me.

Hmm I got the same problem.. How do you actually update it?
I just bought my htc pro touch so bear with me please.
i installed it. everything seemed fine, i click on it, i get a loading icon, nothing happens.

Keyboard?
Hi,
iGO8 seems to work, but I can't get the hw keyboard to function. Not one key seems to respond. Does everyone else have this problem?
Thanks,
Cheers,

i dont understand why there are reported problems with the gps software on this phone. is there anything outhere that just works , without tweaks or anything of the sort?
is the co pilot 7 better than igo8? in terms of usability by someone who doesnt understand how all this works

I have tested iGO8, TomTom 7, and Garmin XT. All work fine on the Touch Pro (but I did not test hardware keyboard input).
In my case, I found Garmin to have the best GPS performance: only 2-3 seconds lag behind my separate Garmin nuvi 760 unit, and <30 secs for first fix most of the time. iGO and TT are a little slower but still work fine -- but other people find iGO or TT to work very well.
Other thoughts: TT has the most detailed roadmaps, iGO and Garmin are average. But I find Garmin has the best POI support. iGO (and I think TT, also) supports TMC but (so far) it cannot be activated on the Raphael. Garmin does not have TMC but can download traffic from its servers via your data connection (3G, EDGE, etc). For me, Garmin is a solid middle-of-the-road software; the only major drawback is no TTS, which iGO and TT both have.
I haven't tested Co-Pilot 7, but since it's based on iGO core (iirc) I probably won't try it. But of course, you should try demo maps or at least read reviews to find out which software is good for you.

To help clarify, there are two separate issues. The first is that many GPS software comes on SD cards that are intended to be kept on the SD, or on CD to be installed to main device memory, though if you buy it you have every right to install it to your Raphael. Since the Raphael only has microSD, you may have to install the program in a certain way to get it running. You also have to be careful of the software version, since not all are compatible with WM6.1. (These issues come up all the time among people pirating the software.)
The other issue is about the GPS receiver in the Raphael. Lots of people are trying different tweaks to get the best performance (ie: no lag) out of their receiver. But it's unclear if it's a problem with a weak antenna, or if certain programs (iGO, Garmin, TomTom) run better/worse on the Raphael. The results have been somewhat mixed but we're gradually figuring everything out.

Hi, I am trying to install IGO 8 on the HTC touch Pro, Raphael. The installation seems ok but when I launch the program, nothing happens. The rainbow circle shows up but then nothing. I am wondering what I am doing wrong. Could someone please advise?
Thanks in advance.

IGO 8 or IGO2006 doesn't work on WM6.1 Rom

Hi My friends,
I need help. I changed my rom yesterday official at&t 6.1 Rom and today I changed with HyperDragon III OMNIA WM6.1 WWE ROM Full Version.
I tried to install IGO 8 and IGO2006 on both Roms but it doens't respond.
Any problem on IGO with WM6.1 Roms?
Please help me to fix.

It is running but no positioning
Now I have fixed the problem, I installed Dutty's rom.
Program is running. But now it is not positioning... The weather is a little cloudy, any problem with weather?
Please help me

Igo versions before June 2008 dont work with WM6.1
Duttys Rom is based on WM6.0 thats why iGo8 works on there.
Any iGo v8.0.0.44898 or later will work fine on any New WM6.1 based Rom.
Hope this helped.

Is it getting as far as the menu screen and then freezing? The first time u run it it goes through your contacts list and checks for postcodes to add to its database so give it a few minutes because if u have alot of contacts it will take a while to compile everything. Im running the same configuration and everything is working fine.

Today I have just tried. It is working.
I tried many GPS programs, I think VisualGPSce is very fast for locking. Just for 8-10 sec for locking. GPSgate hasn't locked.
Thanks...

I've got wm6.1 and iGo from jan/febr was working ok,
now i tried to run it after half year and just window's pending symbol appears for half sec and nothing.
Tried to DL new iGo, new install. still not working.
no ROM change/no hard reset meantime.
but gave it up quickly, i don't need it now. just was curious.

here is a solution I found on the net ...
1. Turn off the HTC Home on the Today screen and change Appearance from HTC to WM6.1 (or default)
2. Softreset.

Also turn off AssistedGPS (AGPS) using KaiserTweak. I tried that & it worked for me (& on my wife's Tilt).

I have also found that Microsoft Voice Command can intefere with iGo8 it took me ages to figure that out in the end i had to turn off all the options apart from the phone settings which are the only ones i used anyway and that fixed it.

I have the Manilla 2d Touchflo installed on my Tilt, & in order to get Igo working I have to restart my Tilt & then open up Igo8 before starting Touchflo. It won't open when Touchflo is open...

Thats really wierd I have a kaiser with manila2D running with all my other crap installed and igo8 works perfect for me. Just the wait the first time it ran to gather contact info but then no problems at all. Im running 8.0.0.49545 (july 30 3008) with tts voices and the ultra skin v5
Try disabling MSVC if you have it and see if that makes a difference.

I have had the same problem. I ended up getting the Sept 1 update of Igo8 on it works perfect on mine using hyperdragonIII and NATF v3. Im sure you can find it.

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.

Anyone using igo8 with a wm 6.5? my TTS doesn't work now

I've been using igo8 with TTS on my Touch all the way till diamond. Previously everyting runs well on all stock wm 6.1 roms. After I flashed to Juicy8 WM 6.5 rom, my TTS suddenly would not work any more. All I got is a "ding" at each waypoint instead of pronouncing the street name etc.
I searched my a$$ off online and replaced all the TTS related files to the newest I could find online, still would not work. Asked in other forums, someone suggested that it may be the DLLs for TTS in the pack are not compatible with WM 6.5, but I do not want to flashed it back to 6.1 to test before I'm certain this is indeed the cause.
I'm using igo 8.3.2 series with up-to-date main program, the TTS packs are susanTTS high quality.
If you have any idea how to make the TTS work in Juicy ROM or generally wm 6.5 system, please share. TIA.

I'm not sure what TTS is. Is it TomTom Skin?
I am using 2.07.Gen.Y ROM with WM6.5. I have TomTom 7.915 and iGO8 8.0.0.44898 with the TomTom skin and they both work very well. The only issue I have is that I only have about 30Mb of RAM when TF3D is on, so I have to use TF Detacher to turn it off and this then gives me enough RAM for iGO8 to run. Perhaps you need a different ROM??

TTS is Text-To-Speech, it's almost a basic function now on all GPS units. All it does is to announce the street name and tell you to turn left or right etc.

re-flashed the phone to newer release juicy8 rom again. Before that I flashed back to sprint stock 6.1 ROM, igo8 TTS works fine. Then I flashed to the new 6.5 rom, and to my surprise the TTS worked for a while after I flashed it (with 54Mb available storage), but after a couple of programs installed and the available storage reduced the 30MB TTS stopped working again.
Tried to disable touchflo 3d to get some memory back, did not work.
BTW, TTS worked fine in 6.1 ROM previously when I normally have 20MB available storage memory. It might crash from time to time, but generally it was working. I don't understand why in 6.5 even with 30MB storage, it did not work. Or maybe it conflicted with one of my installed programs?
I had:
Resco expolorer
Hi-Cal
Phatenots ofr outlook
Phatpad
Touchpal
Others are built-in the ROM such as facebook, googlemap, opera etc.

With the rom in my sign and latest NeoS2007 drivers iGo is working perfectly.
To have TTS working good you need at least 50% of free ram...

Same problem on touch HD
I can confirm the same problem. It did work with TTS on WM6.5 23016,23017 versions. It did even work with 23037.
I have flashed to a new WM6.5 23041 version, and my TTS is mute. Also, trying to change regional setting crashes igo with message: "can't find big_flag_isl.bmp"
Any solution?
BigE

it has to be the rom because i used igo8 n a tts file and it didnt work at all, just liek u said all i heard was a ding sound, its defiantly wm6.5

Same problem on TD2 with official WM6.5 ROM
I'm having the same problem on my TD2:
WM6.5 ROM version 2.16.405.4 (67041) WWE
iGo8.3.4.102680
I also get the 'ding' with no voice after it.
Non-TTS voices work just fine.
When I first ran iGO8 after the upgrade from WM6.1 (where TTS *WAS* working), I did see some popups asking me to allow the Loquendo TTS DLLs to run. There are 4 DLLS but I only ever saw 3 popups asking for authentication. That's rather weird. Perhaps the 4th DLL is exiting silently in the background. I don't know.
What I do know is that it is ridiculous in this day and age of virtualised segmented memory models to design an application that requires such a big 'real' memory footprint! It seems that iGO8 attempt to load the entire 30MB TTS 'binary' in one hit when you start the application, rather than loading a small piece of it and reading from 'storage' when necessary. Maybe this is a Loquendo issue and not an iGO specific issue. Maybe there is a registry entry to tell Loquendo not to use so much memory on load. I don't know. It would seem sensible to allow dynamic tuning of the memory footprint of the TTS component to allow it to run under low-memory conditions. Surely it's not that hard for the developers!

Same issue here.
But the weird thing is that it worked twice for me in my TD2, regardless of the memory I used. But after hard resetting it stopped working again. So to me it's a mistery why it works say, 20% of the times.

Same Problem here.. till now
Device: O2 xda diamond pro (raphael)
Rom: Latest TAEL Rom (WM6.5)
iGO8 Version 8.3.## tested all from march to august ..
My TTS always works great in the past, untill now. Allready tested many different TTS Files, and voices. Bad luck
I saw the Post above, and i turned off tf3d. (before: ~54% ; after: ~44%) I also overwrite all the TTS Files (.dll) with other ones. (TTS-Fix found somewhere on the net.)
I attach the tts fix to my Post, actual they should work with other languages, too.
Try it and report back, hope it works!
PS: Copy/overwrite the new .dll s in iGO8 Folder (Maybe backup the old ones!) Sry, but the Manual is only in german..

copied the three files to replace files under \IGO8\ except the german one. It did not work.

[HELP] Igo & WM 6.5 : TTS problem

I've been using igo with my topaz since a long time without problem.
I upgrated with the official HTC Rom WM 6.5 Fr
I upgrated igo with the latest 8.3.4.102680.
Everything works but impossible to hear the sound...
i tried several uninstall and reinstall but without success...
i tried several release of the french tts voice ( 2.2 to 2.6b...)
In fact i heard the voice only one time but never since...
Does anyone ever have this problem?
Does anyone know how to 'activate" TTS ? i remember that at the really first install igo ask me "are you agree to install ttsloq..." but it never came back since.
despite delete all igo files on sd + soft reset + reinstall
Sorry for my poor english but hope that someone can help me because...
...a gps without sound is like a car without wheels... or like ppc without xda...
Many thanks by advance..

Does iGo8 work for you with a non-TTS voice?
If it does, then I have the same problem and I think it is caused by the memory requirement of the TTS voices in iGo8 being quite high.
In WM6.1 I would sometimes lose the TTS voice while a non-TTS one would be OK, and after closing applications and freeing RAM, or a soft reset, the TTS voice would work again.
In WM6.5 I cannot get the free RAM high enough for TTS to work.
Regards
Filbert

i have the same problem here... it works with no tts voices

Hi, I have same problem, at the begining, program work OK, and with TTS sounds Ok, but after that, only time to time it work.
I have check that if we disconnect Manila, (you know config, sytem, home, uncheck htc manila sense). then we have more ram available, and IgO work OK, with TTs voice.
Just an option for me.
Regards,
