TOMTOM and GPS

Hey all!!! I just purchased an unlockled TYTN II and using T-mobile as the carrier for my wife. I installed TOMTOM navigator and I can't get it to detect the GPS on the phone. Do I have to go through T-mobile to get it working or what. I believe these phones already come with the GPS enabled. Any clue on how I could get it working??

GPS
Select:
• Other NMEA GPS
• Baudrate 4800
• COM4
Start tomtom and go outside. Without using QuickGPS you should get a fix within 3 minutes.

Maps and traffic
I just giot the tomtom nav6 And I cant buy the maps on the website because it seems to be down. Can anyone help me obtain a map of N.A. or at the minimum Brooklyn and Long Island which is where the NY free map is limited.
Also How do I get the traffic to work? Anyone?

For traffic you need to have a data connection.
I just waited till the GPS got a lock, set my route, tap the screen, hit tomtom traffic and it worked...
if our on AT&T i think some people had to disable the proxy for tomtom to be able to connect.

Don't ask for warez, cause if you can't purchase one from their site are you gonna pay one of us to "obtain" it for you? Use your head. If you wanna look for maps like that try Google.

no but you can hold my ****.women roll there eyes. Not men. Ronfin you really are a prick. So my wording was off. I should not of said Obtain! I get it! thanks you needed to get your aggression out on the internet thats cool. Why don't you try to be helpful instead of making prick remarks. Douche PS I wasn't looking for a hand out I googled it but turned up with nothing or I would not of asked. Douche

Hold your ****? Are you gay? Someone tells you not to ask for warez and all of your replies revolve around ****. Hmm. Hey, it's ok, we don't discriminate based on sexuality so eat as much penis as you can fit in that liitle noise hole of yours, but when ya ask for warez the big kids are gonna yell at you, so try to keep your little tantrums to a minimun. k? Beatoff.

Wow... Somebody be the bigger person and stop waving your e-penis...
sdlopez83: When you say the website is down, do you mean accessing it from the phone through TomTom on on your PC?
If through the phone is yours an ATT Tilt, and if so did you disable the ATT Proxy?
Let us know.

This used to be a nice polite forum
If someone asks for warez, I'd politely warn them once, then maybe the second time, pass their details to the vendor, FiBi, interplod.
Discussing their sexuality, religion, politics is plain unhelpful. People that use warez are thieves.

Ha-ha sorry about that to the rest of you. Getting warez was not my intent.
When I go to the tomtom website and then go to maps The website says "Our Apologies The TomTom Map Store is closed while we're updating and improving it. Our apologies for the inconvenience. Please check back soon!"
And its been like this for quite some time. When googling tt maps of N.A. I get all this irrelevant garbage and the tomtom website which brings me back to where I was.
This is the tomtom map apology website for you non believers http://www.tomtom.com/custom_errors/maintenance.php?Lid=4

^ he is right....i had the same problem...i need a map of the east coast...there website is "under construction"
and yea, by the way...

You guys try downloading TomTom Home and buying maps through the program? The tomtom site's map store's been down for a long time now and I had to go through TT Home to buy my NA map.

AT&T Tilt - TomTom6 cost question

I recently received TomTom6 and have used it a few times to make sure it's what I want. It works great btw.
But my question is how does AT&T calculate the service cost? Is it Media Net? Don't want to think it's free and find a $100.00 bill. Also looking to get unlimited whatever it runs on, as I plan to do alot of traveling.
I already have a map of my hometown, and just us TomTom to navigate through the city, nothing else.
Thanks!!!

There is no additional cost to use TomTom. It will only use your data connection if you have A-GPS or TomTom Plus Services enabled.

TomTom 7 works like absolute garbage for me on every ROM I've tried. I downloaded their free map, but within 5 seconds of starting navigation, the map stops drawing, and TomTom goes into an infinite recalculating cycle.
Of course TomTom 6 wasn't much of an option either since their POI's are all out of whack. Veteran's Stadium in Philadelphia was demolished in 2004, so It makes sense that the latest maps from 2007 would not have this stadium. But Citizen's Bank Park and Lincoln Financial Field, both built in 2004 to replace Veteran's stadium, are not listed either!
I switched to iNav since I can also run it on my laptop.

Good experience here
I recently enjoyed 3 weeks in the Los Angeles area, which is very far from my home, and it's safe to say that I and my family relied heavily on my TYTN-II with tomtom6 and the North American map I bought for it. I don't know how we would have navigated without it.
It works like a charm - only one time during the 3 weeks did I need to reset the TYTN-II to get a GPS fix.
The maps are on sale from www.tomtom.com occasionally. I bought mine for like $80.

Well I didn't go TT7 because I'm new to using GPS entirely. And I only found [wasn't really looking for] the cab to TT6.
It came with a free city map, and to me TT6 is great! [On point, gives lat & longitude points and good mph reading].
I'll look into both TT7 & iNav.
Thanks guys!

I keep hearing this from a lot of people.
What ROM are you currently running? Ever since I left Death v4.1, I've tried HyperDragon IIIi and IIIr, ROMeOS 3.x and 4.x, Garmin.DK 1 and 2, and now IBI private beta. I have have various issues with GPS on all of them. In order to get iNav to refresh the screen at full speed, I have to use GPSGate and redirect my hardware GPS to a faux COM port.

sadly not anymore. There was once an app called MUSICID by Shazam for windows mobile but sadly this doesnt work well with diamond due to the VGA screen. There is no music identification software for the diamond at present and isnt likely to be. Developers just dont seem to be interested in developing for windows mobile anymore, everything is going to symbian or iphone. Sign of the times im afraid and a particular beef of mine..

heh, thanks for that dose of doom & gloom, bane. but seriously, it's a good idea to port this, i wonder if one of the developers isn't thinking up something right now...

I think this is the same app I mentioned originally that doesnt work well with Diamond's VGA screen. However id like to test to make sure. Is anyone subscribed to that forum, can you grab the file? I tried to register there but recieved no verification email.
**EDIT** Here it is, but not tested yet

nope it doesnt work. Same display errors.
Where there ever be a solution for Shazam on windows mobile? *sigh*

iT WORKS BUT, it isnt well with Diamond's VGA screen !l
Familiar songs will identified without objections !

[Q]Any one know any program for HTC like Track ID?
Hi, does anyone know where I can find a program like TrackID (from Sony Ericsson) and I also seen this function available for Iphone which allows you record for few seconds and will find the song name via the net. I would love to have this program for HTC, i think is very handy. Thank you!

Hmm
Search for MusicID it is available

Do a search for MusicID. I had it for a while and it worked fine on QVGA. Not sure about VGA compatibility though.

This has been discussed before many times, esp by myself! I consider the issue as testament to the fact that support for windows mobile is dwindling to the iPhone.
There used to be a MusicID software for windows mobile by Shazam - unfortunately its designed for WM Smartphone edition (meaning no touch response) and hardware keys, secondly it doesnt display well at all on HTC Diamonds VGA screen.
To date there is NO Music Identification software for high end (VGA) Windows Mobile Devices. There is a demand but Shazam do not see Windows Mobile as a viable platform.

Thanks for the quick reply guys... I just need to record a song which I saw it in a drama and there's no way i know the name of it that's why I need this program. Does anyone test the MusicID on HTC Dimond?

GPS Software?

Okay, so I am trying to get a decent GPS software for my AT&T Tilt. I have been using DeLorme Street Atlas 2008 (bought it when I was lost in Seattle last year) and it's pretty limiting. I was hoping to find something better.
Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions, please post them.
I thought I was going to try Tom Tom, but I don't want to buy an old version. I saw a cab for version 7 on here, but I went to Tom Tom's website and I can't find any North American maps for version 7 (and I can't even find version 7 for sale on their website). So I don't know what's going on there. Is version 7 just a beta or something? Is it any better than version 6? I don't feel comfortable buying version 6 knowing that there is a later version...
If anyone can suggest a good GPS program (and where to buy it) with North American maps, that would be great. Or if someone can tell me where I can get Tom Tom 7 (and a North American map for it) that would be great too.

I'm using iGo8 on my Touch HD, and also my el cheap Navigo GPS system.
It's nice (3d building display, so you actually get a visual impression in 3d of your surroundings), but it runs fairly slowly, even on the Touch HD.
However, my father loves his TomTom, and I think it's an easier program to use, so it depends on your tastes and availability - skins are available for iGo to make it look like TomTom, but it's still a bit too feature heavy for the CPUs. It can be toned down to run smoother though.
There are various other apps out there, but I think these two are highly regarded.
Regarding availability, of course, retail is the place to go. But, they can also be found elsewhere...

By newest version, do you mean version 6 (the newest on the Tom Tom website) or version 7 (they sell version 7 maps on the Tom Tom website but not the North America website, and I can't find version 7 for sale but you can download the cab here on xda)...

version 7. you pay for the maps. i have north american and canada maps.

Excellent, that is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the info.
Now, where can I find the North American maps? I looked on the TomTom website and it doesn't have a North American map for version 7...

I think there was something about having to live in the U.K. to buy the North American maps but i forgot where it was but here is the link anyways.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417400

HTC has updated its exclusive app Locations which brings Offline navigation of HTC Windows Phone devices. Locations app which was hardly noticed by us so far has now become a must have app for HTC Windows Phone devices. Similar to Nokia Drive app, Locations app allows you to download the whole maps for offline viewing for various countries around the world. Just in time for HTC Titan II launch in USA, HTC has tried to equal the mapping experience on HTC devices on par with the Nokia Maps/Drive on Lumia 900.

Yeah just re-installed and downloading 'United Kingdom' map (about 400mb)

I'm curious to see how it compares to NDrive. I read on wmpu that the maps expires after 1 month but I don't have time to test.
Also, I want to see how good it is compare to NDrive i.e. does it have options to set hwy as preferred or options to avoid tolls, etc.
If anyone can test this out it'll be great.

Awesome! Looking forward to testing this out

Not tested yet, but under the options it does have tick boxes 'Avoid Motorways / Toll Roads / Ferries'

It looks like the navigation part is controlled by Route66, you can see it quickly pop up saying this.
Lets just hope its not just a trial.

Just downloaded it on my Lumia 800 from HTC Zone, and found that, you have to pay for Navigation.
30 days / 1 Year / Unlimited
So, I am not interested
NOTE: I think initial 30 days will be free, coz I can use navigation option, and also voice guidance, So, I will keep it for 30 days..

Under the 'more' options there is a worldwide map that has a 30day trial, but cannot see any other trial or prices against the list of all the other maps.
hopefully majority of it is free and you only need to pay for extras

According to http://www.htc.com/help/uk/howto_iframe.aspx?id=22197&type=1&p_id=389
Maps are free but navigation and voice is paid for

Great. Good job.

So HTC Locations is supposed to be a navigation app or is that secondary? Based on the description it seemed like just a way to see a map of a particular region.
Isn't the navigation free for Nokia Drive users? Shouldn't navigation be free for HTC users of HTC Location? Come on.

first 30 days are free, after that it needs a fee
press on 'get more' in the bottom of the navigation tab to find out what i am talking about

xap file perhaps?

Here's the XAP. I've got it running on my Samsung Focus. Pretty nice app.
HTC Locations 2.1

I am really disappointed in the cost for navigation feature. It is a great upgrade, but HTC still falls behind Nokia with Nokia Drive due to the costs.

i'm not really sure if it is paid or not, because I wonloaded maps of Poland and polish voicestarts using. In section get more still have only worldwide and description " start using before....", so maybe it is something different, because I just starded using polish maps yesterday.
edit: sorry, Today it changed to "Expiry date: .....". So it will be paid

I think so, if that app will not be free and she will cost 29,99 euro (~ 125 Polish Zloty) for full version - this price isn't expensive beacause we take aplications without time limit.

and what if we reinstall the apps after 30 days?

When you bought app one time, you have it all the time (like other apps) and you can reinstall that (IMHO).

This is a good beginning from HTC.
Hope it is free.
