I have TomTom working since yesterday. Nothing special btw. 7.910.9185 vga black version with 815.2096 West and Central Europa map. I also installed dutch FLITSNAV programm zo i get realtime 15mins updates of the police speedchecks by gprs. I have unlimitted Vodafone 3,6Mbit gprs/umts/hsdpa connection in The Netherlands.

Edit: indeed, the poi are very small, but not a big problem to me. I can wait till the next release with a fix in think...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 21gg:
HELP! Well ive got v7 running and also downloaded a sample city map. I did all this after not getting my v6 to run. Next thing was to download from TOMtom a new map, so got the 2g full european one. Its now sat there ready to load but home 2.5 says it wont down load it as its not compatible and Home 1.5 cant see it. So trying to do everything ligitimately it looks like ive just wasted £50!

Is there a way to download this file without TT Home or a way to trick it into downloading it?

Cheers gav
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] johnpatcher:
That's right.

I think there is no legal way to get the latest map(s) on a tomtom pda.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 21gg:
b*LL*CKS, Right im now down loading a trial version of navigon to try that cos im fed up with wasting so much time trying to get TT to work!

Thanks

Hello to all,

this is my first post so please allow any transgressions.

I managed to load my TT6 program & maps onto my HD, but as with others, it displayed overlayed images.

If you download, install & run WVGAFIX3 you can get TT6 to work, allbeit with the bottom of the HD screen not being used.

Hope this helps someone, it sure helped me. I'll manage like this until TT release a 'proper' version,

Ive got the software. I just dont know whats next as in getting maps and how to make them work on the phone.

Would be much appreciated

thank you

After trying navigon and not being over impressed, probabley cos Ive been used to tomtom, then tried the vga fix which was less than ideal, I finally got ttn7 running. Im happy now but why tt cant just support this phone from the begining?

I must admit Ive found this forum very helpful and useful.

Thanks Gav

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jonajuna:
its because the poi icons are only 22x22pixels which on the tHD's 'huge' screen res, equals tiny icons.

only way round it is to enlarge the icons with some graphics editor of your liking (you will loose "clarity")

pocketgpsworld, have double sized icons already for speed cameras, at 44x44p. much better (although they need renaming to work)

TT traffic on touch hd?

So here I'am:

I succeded to install TT7 on my touch hd and the europe 2 gb 8.15 map. Evry thing is working fine.

I had the tomtom home problem saying that it's not the right version but map share can update.

I payed for traffic but I'm getting an error when I'm trying to get traffic info (error number 1506).

Can some one explain more in detail how to make the traffic work?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] conao:
Thanks for the link! After struggling several days to try to get my old Tomtom 6 working on my new Touch HD, without success, this link to v7.910.9185 did the job!

However, it seems that my old Western Europe v6.60 map is not compatible with it, it is not recognized. Anyone could confirm that please? My Eastern Europe 6.80 map worked fine though.

If I'll have to buy new maps, can anyone confirm which is the current version if I buy it from their website, anyone that has done it recently? I can't find this information there, before I buy it... :-(

OK here it is,

First of all Happy New Year to all.

The solution for my device is as simple as that, I did deactivate the display of all POI's and every thing went smooth without loosing any thing.

Worth to try.

Map Share

I have TT7.910 (9185) installed on my HD with UK and Ireland v815.2024 map.

Using TomTom Home 2.5 I switched the trust level in map share preferences to the lowest setting and now TomTom Home tells me my map is up to date with 33736 map share corrections in use.

The problem is even though TT Home tells me 33736 corrections have been made to my map I dont think any corrections have been made at all!

The reason I say this is there is a train station around the corner from where I live (Brighouse Train Station in West Yorkshire) that has not been added to the corrections in map share... it may just be that nobody has added it to map share but I find that hard to believe.

Can somebody who has map share up and running please inform me of one of the 33736 corrections so that I can check my map to see if the correction has been made (to see if map share is working)

Thanks

How do you get the 8.15 maps onto the HD ????
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] PondBoy:
Thanks to all the contributors on this thread I have TT7 running on my HD with 6.75 maps. The maps were activated with a code from TomTom after I confirmed that I understood that TT7 was not supported - see italic text below:

In regards to your request for an Activation Code for an unsupported device, please understand that all devices need to be individually tested for compatibility, as even apparently similar devices may display different characteristics which can affect performance.

We therefore discourage customers from activating on unsupported devices, as any technical problems that arise consequently would be impossible for us to resolve, as these devices have not been approved by our Test Team.

However, we also deeply respect the wishes of our customers.

Before we proceed to provide you with an Activation Code, we would therefore ask you to confirm that you accept the following:

- That you will not be eligible for technical support if the device does not perform adequately

- TomTom will be very reluctant to provide an additional Activation Code if it turns out that the device does not perform adequately.

The maps & traffic were installed using TT Home 1.5 with no problem however the safety cameras could only be installed using TT Home 2.5. The warning about an unsupported device only comes up once every time I connect, it can be ignored and I have sucessfully downloaded colour schemes and sounds to my HD.

I've noticed that some people are saying they get a significant lag. The only problem I've noticed is that sometimes TT7 seems to lose the GPS device intermittently which has the effect of losing GPS coverage intermittently which has the effect of lag. I found that by exiting TT7, initiating the GPS using Google maps, then restarting TT7 cures this.

Getting confident I then decided to buy the latest version of maps but cannot install them using TT Home 2.5.

Any ideas?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] conao:
Reading this and other posts I also got affraid that even if I buy the latest maps of Western Europe (since my v6.60 maps are not recognized by TT 7.910.9185) I'll not b able to install them.

However, it occurred to me that the maps downloaded from TT website using TT Home are stored in a folder inside yur Documents folder with the following path: \TomTom\HOME\Downloads. And it happens that these files are ".cab", which makes me think that it might be possible to install them without TT Home, just by copying them to the HD and double clicking on it using any file browser application, just like we install any other ".cab" file.

Since I don't have the maps yet, could anybody with the new maps but not being able to install them with TT Home (just like you PondBoy) try this and report, please.

Regards,

Marconi

I have tried TT6 & TT7 both with lag, I now use Igo8 6.3.2 with almost no lag,

great speed cams and excellent graphics.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] trotty:
On hd?? I installed it and it gives only errors. Where can i find tt7?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] lostintime333:
wandering if someone can answer a question it might sound stupid but does it cost me to use my tomtom on the hd?

everytime i use it i think it does connect to the internet because the icons at the top indicate its connected via hdspa or something else usually . but i was under the impression that it was free.

am i right or wrong can someone please clear this up for me. because ive used about 2quid in data charges and i have been on the net a couple of times but im not sure if its from the tomtom as well or not because if so then i may as well stick on the 7.50 bolt on because i really like using the tom tom alot.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] PondBoy:
My 6.75 maps were originally installed with TT6 on my old HTC P3300. I copied the maps across to the SD card on my HD and TomTom gave me the activation code. I believe 6.75 maps can also be installed using TT Home 1.5. However any version above 6.75 seems to require TT Home 2.5 or above. This will not let me download the maps as it says the item will not work on my device. Hopefully TomTom will support the HD in the near future so I can make do with my 6.75 maps until then..

Anyone else experiencing problems while sitting in a car? My Touch HD has to be outside, can't even be in a car, to make contact with sats...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] lostintime333:
mine is perfect in the car in coach and inside the house tbh. its not the greatest indoors just on and off but if i leave it near the window i get a connection so i think its pretty strong and better then the one on my navigo with tomtom software
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acz:
I have TomTom working perfectly on my Touch HD. I did have problems once upon a time with TomTom on it where it kept losing the signal constantly but I discovered that by switching OFF AGPS, then TomTom worked perfectly both in the car and indoors, so far anyway.

To disable AGPS go into:-

Start - Programs - HD Tweak - (scroll down to the bottom section 18.5) & set Assisted GPS to Disabled.

Add on

does anyone know how to change the icon on tomtom to a car and to add voices
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] rodgauman:
Hi, it is quite easy to add additoinal voices. Just search them (google). You will get them form the same source where you get TT7 as well;).

Then put them in the voices folder on the root card of your SD card or in the voices folder in main memory depending on where TT is installed.

Regarding car symbols search somewhere inside this forum. I remember there was a thread. You just have to create an folder calles "art" and put these symbols in. Then you can choose a new car symbol within TT.

As far as I rembember.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] vapor:
I had a similar siutation with TomTom and AGPS. Turning it off did not solve the lag issue.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] papounet:
Lag also

Hi Blackwalker I am using also the HD in the same configuration as you and also stoped the AGPS but unfortunately the lag is still there. Did you try to change this setting in the registry

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\GpsOneDevice\PollInterval -> 100 (default is 1000).

It's just a suggestion and I don't know the efficiency of this trick

Tomtom 7 Installation Problem

Tomtom 7.910 (VGA) is running fine on my HD, but after installation it doesn't appear in the installed programs list (although it is under 'remove programs'). To run it I have to launch 'Tomtom Navigator.exe' using explorer - I'd like to have it as a shortcut on my touchflo programs tab. I've tried installing the QVGA version and this appears as an installed program fine (although the small icons are not ideal).

Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions?

Thanks!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] houms:
just copy and paste shortcut in program

you need just to copy the exe, then paste a shrtcut into the program folder which is \windows\start menu\program

Sorry for asking this so late on in the thread. I've read through the whole thread and I'm either just being a complete idiot(Maybe its the Irish blood in me), or I missed something.

I've installed TT7, voice, maps etc but I cannot get the GPS to work

I have QuickGPS installed which indicates I have 6 days 23 hours Valid time

How do I get GPS to work properly on TT7? All I get is the following message

'Waiting for valid GPS signal' or 'Weak signal, are you indoors etc'

I have tried going into External GPS and have selected port COM4

Any help appreciated
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] blackwalker:
strange...if say "Waiting for valid GPS signal" it mean that tt7 found it, try to reset the com ports to the originals valuue

I've install TomTom 7 - v7.910.9185(tried both qvga & vga black. vga version of one I found and the one someone linked to 20odd pages ago on here), I installed home 2.5.2.60 but getting the invalid version of the tomtom application etc message so can't d/l the voices or maps(I currently have no voice, the version I found has dutch voice but useless to me).

I've tried searching for home 1.5 but can't find a downloadable version, also someone mentioned that you can't download and install new maps using it. so stuck as what to try next.

don't think I seen any mention of what car holder people use, also is there a car charger for the hd yet?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] conao:
Sorry for my stupid question but... were you outdoors when you tried it? The messages you got clearly show that TomTom has found your GPS. It simply says that your GPS hasn't been able to find a position fix... yet. It takes sometime when you do it for the first time, unless you run QuickGPS first, to give the GPS a better starting point. Anyways, give it something from 30 seconds to 3 minutes.

But most of all, you have to be in a place where you're sure you can get a direct view to the sattelites. I mean, outdoors or, at least, very close to the windows in a room or car. I find the GPS reception in the HD surprisingly good for a built-in device. I can get a fix with 12 sattelites in a few seconds sitting half a meter from the windows in a my room, here in south Sweden!

Good luck,

Marconi
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Cheesy Dave:
I have found the GPS Test program to be very reliable: http://www.chartcross.co.uk

This is useful when I suspect TomTom (or other GPS) is not behaving right.

Of course, when I'm side I normally go to a window or outside to get the satellite signals.

guess not.

anyway got the Western_Europe_1GB_815.2024 map working, now just need an english voice to get spoken directions working(when I start tomtom at the moment, get the you have no voices installed etc message). I did try the link to the hand-faq.de forums with the voices but can't download without registering(website is in german).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] alvani:
I have pasted the shortcut into the program folder \windows\start menu\programs, but when I hit the TomTom icon in programs I get the message: "Unable to start. Not enough memory is available." What do I do wrong?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] fowler002:
found a male english voice, so far used to female ones on the sat navs I've used/seen.

someone on here(think it was HDUser) said you can still use the map correction service in tomtom home even if getting the invalid device error, I tried but get the device or map is not supported(or something to that effect).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Maxwell Smart:
the bog standard female voices are available for free from tomtom

has anyone found a work around for the Invalid Version yet? for the most part you can get around it but I need to validate my maps on my replacement HD and tomtom is slow to respond to allow me to do so manually.

Confused also

I've got TT7 7.910.9185 installed and working with the London demo map.

TT Home v2.5 recognises device and I've got it attached to my account.

Can I purchase UK maps to load on device ? ? Looking at v8.15 on TT site.

Have read through thread but am confused by what I can and can't load map wise.

Now to work on MapShare
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] fowler002:
I downloaded the jane voice through ttn7 on the touch hd under the voices option(hadn't really looked through all the options before).

I've also used the map share/speed camera crack posted in the v815 maps topic in the blackstone sectionxda-developers>blackstone>blackstone), so got 8000 odd map corrections and the speed cameras(tho how old is the data?). if I was to use the method again at a later date would I get the newer map corrections(i.e. those made since my last update)? also would I get updated sped camera locations or do you need the 1yr subscription to get them?

in the post code entery can you enter the full post code? when I try entring e.g. rg6 xxx it just goes up to the rg6 part and says reading(rg6), then have tohoose street name etc.

now I just need to go out and test it while driving, going to navigate t somewhere I've been, to see what way it takes me.

Consider using another program

I am wondering why we are all so worried to use a program from a company that has not any interest in selling its products.

I have been a TomTom customer since 2001. But it seems that they do not want to make its new programs and maps available for all the WM users and I got tired waiting for new and compatible releases.

So I switched.

Now I am the happy user of a program that is as good as TomTom, has more maps than it, and has a really good and constant update policy for both program and maps.

It's name: Route 66. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] o-munk:

Lags TomTom 7

Hi vysus,

Are you sure the lag is caused by the not perfectlly-fitting version to the screen?

Filicloe.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acz:
I was wondering just the same thing if it due to not being the correct size for the screen and maybe it has been stretched to fit and does not accurately represent your position some how. I'm still doing various tests but I had wondered that.

I've noticed that the delay passing under motorway bridges seems to vary depending on if you have zoomed in or out (which might be correct anyway) I've got some software installed that allows me to rotate various software when I turn the phone including rotating tomtom. I'm not convinced that there is the same delay with the screen vertical compared to horizontal (horizontal being less stretched maybe). Might even be worth doing a test going north south compared to east west (not that it would tell you much). Just some thoughts to try out.

Anyway, the delay at 70mph is about 1 and half seconds so its not a big problem at all, hardly noticeable until someone tells you about it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] darrenmc168:
TomTom is dead, long live IGO8

i have a HD and am very happy with it, i have both TOMTOM7 and IGO8 installed, and i can confirm that they both work very well, the TomTom can have some issues with gps lock, and now and again a bit of lag, where as Igo8 has no problems , and even though i have been using TomTom for a number of years , i must admit Igo8 with texture maps, 3D landscapes, and buildings is much better !!!! and dont beleive what you here about no postcode search ! there is FULL 7 DIgit postcode search, i know ,i use it, overall TOMTOM 7 looks nice and when it works, it works fine, but IGO8 get my vote now , i think it is a much more polished bit of software, the display is better looking, with many more display options, speed, altitde, trip computer etc etc etc. Hope this helps anyone thinking which to get.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acz:
Thanks for that darrenmc168, I hadn't considered IGO software as I always just thought that nothing was as good as TomTom (even though I haven't tried others). I certainly will take a look at IGO8 now.

Out of interest, I have never had a GPS lock up with TomTom, maybe because I had to switch off A-GPS otherwise it had signal problems. With A-GPS off it works perfectly every time.
