Someone must be having the same problems as me and Nick. I have paid for the Western Europe map, but TomTom 2.6, although it shows it, says it is not compatible with my device and therefore won't download it (no link, nothing, so no way to get the files at all).

I have tried going back to 2.5 and get the same stupid message. How did everyone else on here make it work? Map is 825.2159 version. TTHome recognises it as a Blackstone. Please help!

tt7 and AGPS : huge improvement with HD radio 1.13.25.24

I've updated my HD with the 1.13.25.24 radio.

Since this tt7 works very well with AGPS,

without starting googlemaps or anything else first

.

Cold fix are always obtained in 5-10 sec (of course quickgps sets to get the satellite logs automatically) :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Noiz:
I fixed my own problem after days of searching, so I figured I'd post here in case anyone else if having the same issue.

The problem was, the maps I'd bought while using TomTom on my Kaiser were insisting that they weren't compatible with my HD. It was saying "This item cannot be installed on your device." When running TomTom with the maps already on the card - copied from my Kaiser - they'd ask for an activation code, which I didn't have, nor was it showing up in my account anywhere.

It seems the issue may be related to me telling the website I had a Go 720 when I bought the maps, as at the time that was the only way to get legitimate maps onto the Kaiser.

Anyway, here's how I fixed it. Much props to pmuschi for figuring all this out in a thread that no longer seems to exist. Also much thanks to Google's cache for storing the solution!

The hack mentioned is quite simple but I can share my version of the jar if needed; just send me a PM as I won't be watching this thread much. I've posted the file in my Dropbox if you'd rather not hack it yourself. Just download it and put it in C:\Program Files\TomTom HOME 2\xul\chrome (assuming you installed Home to the default location). http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/63767/tthome.jar

After I'd made the hack, the map downloaded just fine but wouldn't install. From there it was a simple case of browsing to the download directory, finding the map's zip file and extracting it to the root of the storage card, in a folder with same name as the zip file. Eg, my zip was called Western_and_Central_Europe_2GB.zip so I extracted it to Storage Card\Western_and_Central_Europe_2GB. Also in the download folder will be a cab file that starts with activation. This needs to be extracted to the same place as the map as it's the licence file.

Once I'd done all that, TomTom happily ran and picked up the map. I was also able to connect to TomTom Home to update all of the MapShare definitions, which is the main reason I'd been working on this for so long!

Now I'm happy again! I hope this helps someone else somehow.

I have that problem, but i don't have changescreen, so I've no idea what's affecting my install. I know the file installs on a mate's Touch.

You're an absolute life-saver. Now just gotta wait for TomTom to bring back USA maps too.

My confirmed TOMTOM install info

Ive been doing a lot of reading trying (like many others) to get TOMTOM running on my HD. Here is what I did and it works. The current position on the screen is off by some distance but its completely usable. Give this a try if you've tried everything else.

1. Download the following TOMTOM 7 .cab from the address below and install on your phone.

http://translate.google.com/transla...ww.winmo.nl/?p=2164#more-2164
&sl=auto&tl=en

This is just the program...no voices or maps.

I downloaded and installed the latest tomtom home and used it to install the voices.

Although I have original maps (came with my artimus) I went the other route and ended up with 815-2096 for western and central Europe. Works fine so far!

how are you able to make Tomtom HOME recognise your device?

I tried to connect my HD via usb cable (selected connection method on HD - disk drive) to Home 2.5 but it didn't recognise it. (the Navigator 7 is installed on the microSD card)

Tried Home 2.6 but having the same problem

Every time I connect my HD to a pc, a 'choose action' window appears, letting me to choose what to do (e.g. explore the disk, make no action, view pictures with picture viewer etc) But HOME doesn's start like it does when I connect my PNA (TomTom GO x10).

Maybe someone else had this issue?

Thanks in advance
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bmcconalogue:
I know people on here have said don't use ActiveSync, but I can't see why - TTHome 2.6 supports the Touch HD (recognises it as BlackStone). To download maps you'll have to do the edit to tthome.jar Noiz suggested above but thats it. When I plug my HD in I select use ActiveSync. Can't remember if Home opens automatically, but you can just open it, when your PC connects Home will offer you the option to use your HD or the SD card on it. Just select the card and away you go (I have TTN and all maps etc installed on the card)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JimLin:
Just in case people are having problems getting the full postcodes as I have, this link will take you to the TomTom site to download an exe file which does the update for you. When it asks, put it onto you storage card and it does everything for you. I can now see all the 7 digit postcodes :D The exe is virus free.

Original TomTom software onto HD

Hi. I've just bought a TomTom 540 Live. How do I get the software onto my Touch HD so I can use it as another sat nav device?

I know that there's lots of stuff on this thread about loading the cab file from other websites, but would prefer to use my original software if possible

There's an option on the TomTom PC software to copy data from the TomTom device to my computer, which I've done, and then copied those files directly onto my HD, but I can't find any executables, etc to kick it off on the HD.

Any advice?

I've had a few requests for the modified tthome.jar, so I've put it in my Dropbox for you all.

Get it here: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/63767/tthome.jar

Just make sure Home is closed, then put the file in C:\Program Files\TomTom HOME 2\xul\chrome (assuming you installed Home to the default location).

Enjoy!

There is a download link in post 536, following the link there, and post 532 explains how to prepare maps purchases. However for each device you need to buy separate maps.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Stapleton:
Hi there,

I'm sorry if this seems very lazy, but I'm struggling to understand the process that you have to take in order to get TomTom working on the HTC Touch HD.

I would appreciate it greatly if someone could outline the steps I need to take to get hold of an operable piece of TomTom software with UK maps installed.

Also, are there any freeware alternatives to TomTom that serve the same function, and which is the most highly recommended?

Thank you in advance.

I have TT7 running for some time now on my HD. It works perfectly on portrait and landscape mode. No problems at all!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bmcconalogue:
Full instructions

Can't help you with the freeware (aside from Google Maps, and the missus reading the instructions out loud, or maybe a map!)

To get TTN7 working (this is legally):

Go to this thread to get the link to 7.915 which works on the Touch HD.

In case you haven't installed stuff before:

Connect your Touch HD via ActiveSync

Copy the cab file to your touch (anywhere, I keep cabs I'm gonna install in a folder on microSD card)

On your HD click the cab to open and follow the instructions. I installed to the microSD card and it works fine, but people on here have said it works installed on the device too - whatever floats your boat)

Try running TomTom to check it works (you'll get a warning about having no maps, but it should give you the option to download a mall city map. I got the London map which only took a few seconds to download).

I'd then unplug the HD for the moment. Download the latest version of TTHome (this always give the latest version)

Before connecting your Touch you have to doctor TTHome to recognise the HD. Thanks to Noiz for helping me out here:

Go to C:\Program Files\TomTom HOME 2\xul\chrome and paste this over the contents.

Now you can plug your HD into your PC and TTHome will recognise it.

Finally in TomTom Home or the website buy the maps you want (the USA maps are still down for TTN7 last time I checked, but you can get full Europe, and lots of others still, and traffic and speed camera subscriptions).

Once you've bought them they'll appear in TTHome. It shouldn't (after the Noiz fix) say the map isn't compatible, but it won't install it. It should let you download it, it will go to the download directory (you can set that in TTHome options). Simply go there, extract the zip file to the root of your storage card with a folder the same name as the zip file. Extract the cab file that begins activation in the same folder.

You can now download new cars, voices, mapshare updates, speed camera subscriptions.

Sorry if I've written any of this wrong, in front of a different machine with none of this installed so doing it all from memory and glancing at bookmarked pages. :eek:

(None of this work is my doing, I have just got some hints from people on the way and combined it onto one post). All thanks to them!

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] htckaiseruser:
install the cab file for TT6

copy all of the TT6 files in their own maps to the root of your memory card

open TT and active the map with your bought key. thats it

but maybe i forgot something,havent used TT6 in a loooooong time :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MarkRy:
Thanks htckaiseruser. I dont think TT6 works on the TouchHD. OK, so its just the product that needs reactivating on a new phone not the maps. I will give it a try.

EDIT: It still required reactivation of maps but the website has let me reactivate on my new phone.

EDIT: [The only thing I am missing now are the voices. Could some kind person tell me where to put the voices folder so TomTom can see it.] Done - Folder created by downloading free voice.

Thanks

Can anyone see list of maps, appart from Australia, Brazil and Southern Africa in their Tomtom HOME?

These are the only maps I can buy for my HD...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bmcconalogue:
That's all TTHome shows for me - to get others go to tomtom website and go to map shop. Once you have bought new maps they appear in your TTHome (make sure you use same login obviously).

You may need the fix Noiz showed above to be able to download/install them to HD.

You still can't get USA maps but they have told me several times they will put them back there when they have made them compatible with the latest version (I'm reading that as when they've locked them down a bit more and issued a new release of TTN7 which we'll have to wait for someone to get hopefully a Touch HD with it installed).

Where did you get your cab from?

I have tried the same cabs on my mates Touch HD running the original WM6.1 ROM and he gets the same error so the fault must be with the cabs although have tried 6 different ones including VGA and QVGA (.9185 and .9196) but still no joy.

Hi

I've got a version of TT working on my HD but it's not recognising the UK maps. I own a TT 540 Live and so have a TT Home account that's linked to the 540.

When I connect my HD to my PC and fire-up TT Home it asks me whether I want to switch my account to my HD, but I'm worried if I do this, it will screw up my 540 if I try to update it later.

So instead I just copied the maps file on my 540 to the root of my HD storage card, but when I start TT, I get a "No maps found" error.

Can the 540 maps work on my HD or are they incompatible due to different platforms?

And if they cannot work, are there any issues with constantly switching my TT home between the 540 and HD to update in the long term?

Hope this makes sense

I got so P!ssed off with TomTom customer services I decided to download a torrent and give that a blast and it worked with no problems. I had to fiddle about with copying files around and stuff but as I had purchased this I felt no guilt in using a torrent copy.

what to do to test GPS?

Hi guys...

this may sound quite a bit newbie - but thats what I am regarding GPS. I yesterday bought a HD/Blackstone, after having lived happily with my HTC ELF for some 18 months now, so now I thought the newest beast should do... And I did like the idea of having a built-in GPS, I *never* even played with a GPS-device in my life... So today I fired up GOOGLE maps and checked "GPS" in its menue, but after some minutes trying to find satellites it gave up and told me there was a problem. Damn...

So my rather basic question: Isn't it sufficient to have 'internal GPS' for Google to find satellites? Do I have to adjust some system settings (COM:?? BAUD??) or even buy TomTom software just to KNOW that GPS in my HD is up & running? IS there a possibility to 'test' the HD's GPS *before* I buy TomTom?

Thanx so much,

LeDuc
