What GPS software with US MAPS that will work seamlessly with TYTN II?

I like to install a gps software that has the capability for US Maps, is it possible? What software could it be? I tried TOMTOM but it wouldn't install on Windows Vista. The setup won't run.
Also, my SD card can't accomodate 1.2GB of maps, can I only select some places that I think I ll be needing gps assistance?

I'm using iGo MyWay Plus and I'm very happy with it.

Surely you didn't purchase Tomtom to give up on it so soon? Take it up with their support.
I use GPSTuner which is able to download maps on the fly from Google and other sources. It also comes with Map Calibrator which allows you to download maps from online sources (free), or scan your own maps in and calibrate. Works pretty well with the TYTN II, although the driver problem does slow it down sometimes.
It won't give you satnav functions though if that is what you are after, in which case your phone should have come with Tomtom or Copilot

Garmin Mobile XT, version for Windows Mobile phones w/ built-in GPS.
Comes on a 2 Gb card, works so good.

Try mapopolis.

Help on Garmin XT gps map (not showing)

I could really use some help here. I installed garmin xt on my htc and it worked perfectly untill i hard reset my device and installed it again. garmin cant detect my map and it shows no map on the navigator area. i did paste the img file on the root of my garmin. mapsource detects it as well yet no map to be viewed. any ideas?

I use Garmin too
My english is poor but I will try to explain my opinion.
The Diamond detect the satellites? if not, the garmin dont know where are and dont show the maps.
The maps are in the Garmin folder in the internal memory yet?
I am using Garmin 5.00.20 al all ok.

Presumably GMXT is running on your Diamond. Can you see the World base map? Have you already achieved a Sat lock? If you have all these and still not able to see your detailed Map, then either it is locked, or you have not selected the Map on your GMXT setup.

im facing same problem here. installed garmin tx, also archived the Sat Lock (it's working), anyway the Map is locked. I used it before into my Symbian Garmin, but i use to add the Map Unlock code into GMAPSUPP.UNL file into \garmin dir, i dunno if the same produce re for the Windows Mobile version?
PD: every time i initiate the Garmin, it ask for a 8 digit product key (this weren't asked into the symbian garmin, you can hit continue anyway)

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.

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.

Naturally Garmin, can only works with Garmin devices such as bluetooth GPS. but It's possible to run garmin with other devices, all you have to do is cr*ck it. Try googling "jet mouse".

U have to register it. Skip the scan, that will get u past that part. If it's unregistered, it will only see a Garmin GPS.

Actually, Garmin Mobile XT was made for devices such as smartphones with a built-in GPS...

into the garmin software go to:
config>>Sistem>>remote gps and there select com4.

@drdrewdown =
1. if i skip that process, will show "Some aspects of garmin mobile XT will not work properly without first getting a valid GPS fix"... Any idea?
2. how to make the google maps or bing GPS work??
@iwakpitik = thanks for your opinion, i try to find it..
Thanks for all

is there any tutorial to crack this gps?

You can't legally use Garmin without paying for it in some fashion - either by purchasing their Bluetooth GPS package, or their SD card package. If you want to use the built-in GPS you need the SD card version. Be forewarned that Garmin does not support using anything other their supplied SD card, which is not very large and is filled with their software/maps. If you want to use your own SD card you'll have to circumvent their protection, which is obviously not something Garmin or this forum like people talking about.

at the scan screen skip it, go to the about screen, find your device/memory card id
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showpost.php?p=4075165&postcount=318
go there follow instructions, use the keygen to register garmin xt.
u wont see the scanning ever again and the program will work flawlessly.
now if anyone has maps for india, please oh please pm me

Thanks for advanced.. I can run the application but the problem now is the map is not show and the signal is empty.. Any idea?? Thanks before

^^ sori for duplicate

Map for India

And attached is a step by step guide to do everything...
Enjoy...
PS: Most of the times you will not see any signal bars on Garmin XT, but you will still pick up on any satelites.

very clear my friend.... thanks for your tutorial.. I will try this....

Navigation at sea

Hey there,
in case anyone of you guys would like to navigate not only on land but also at sea i can really recommend garmin xt.
what you want to do to get it working is to buy (or find it on the net) the garmin xt navigator version 5.2 at least (5.4 is ok too)
than get yourself a copy of garmin bluechart for example for the atlantic region.
install it and you'll have all the maps of zone 2, which is the atlantic region. there are to more regions.
with the map, mapsource will install at the same time on your computer.
in mapsource (on pc) select the map choosing tool and click on the map, you need.
connect your windows mobile driven device (i tried it with 6.1 pro) to the pc and click on send data to device in mapsource (tool on pc).
mapsource will now send the maps for sea navigation to the mobile device, which is identified as garmin xt navigation device.
remember to shut down the navigation software on phone before sync. maps.
hope i could help some sailors out there.
by the way its my first thread in this forum. hope i did everything allright.
cheers,
ami
