Absolutely. People talking about the "little lag of about 20 meters" are right, by the moment every TT version released is not perfectly adapted for our devices. I bet that as soon as TT release the appropriate version everything will work fine, till then everybody keeps on blabbing about GPS lag using TT, we've been talking about for several days HERE, in which PelloG wrote "the tomtom maps arent calibrated for WVGA" the one and only right-minded comment I've read about

I've installed TomTom Navigator and downloaded a free map, but when I launch TomTom it says: waiting on gps signal. Any suggestions?

File iGo8 SYS.TXT

OK.

I'll try iGo8.

Can you post your file sys.txt (\SD Card\iGO8\sys.txt)?

Thanks.

Hi all, i'm another Touch HD owner who installed tomtom and the first thing i noticed was the delay (about 20 metres indeed). In small cities which you know the way this is not a very big problem but in larger cities with many small streets in a row this could be a bigger problem. But this is (so i read) a tomtom software issue which is a relief because i don't have to try anything to get it right and i can go to bed on a normal time:)

I also installed Navigon 7. Navigon 7 doesn't have an issue with delay and as far as i can see this works great! I didn't use it a lot yet but that's a matter of time.

As far as Igo 8, it cost me some hours to get it working on my THD but i did. Problem was the right SYS.txt and if you are looking for answers you will find a lot of them.. and all are different so here's the SYS.txt that work for me.

Make sure you fill in the right name of what your explorer calls your sd-card.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Cheesy Dave:
Agreed !!!

I also have looked at GPS options and I wanted a program that worked fully and LEGALLY.

I did not want to apply any special "tweaks" or even just HD setup files that were not provided by the supplier.

I started a thread on this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=462723

I found Route 66 and I'm happy with it.

I also think CoPilot works fine - I actually bought it but the supplier sent the wrong one (a Diamond specific installation only to internal memory) and could not supply a standard package.

Route 66 was then ordered direct from their web site www.66.com and arrived really quickly.

Installation was simple and it just works !!

None of the nonsense with fixing sys files, breaking copy-protect on 2 gig cards, finding a way to make tomtom home online work, etc etc etc.

It just works !!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Psygnosis84:
If you think Route 66 is the same or even remotely similar to TomTom then your sadly mistaken. Route66 is probably the worst of the worst IMO.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Cheesy Dave:
Well each to their own opinion.

However, no one yet has got TomTom to work on a HD in a fully legitimate way.

TomTom still do not list the Version 7 as compatible with the HD and to make it work one needs to apply special tweaks.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Kangburra:
I have to disagree. I have had TomTom 7 running on the HD and it was awful, both visually and the timing of instructions. Route 66 Navigate 7 is awesome, perfect for the screen and no setting up.

I did try Route 66 Mobile 8 and that was worse than TomTom, so it can all be version specific too. :p

Help

Hey guys, I have been on these forums and various other forums trying to get maps working on my htc HD phone with tomtom 7.9.

The tomtom software is working great but installing the maps is another matter. There are so many people saying different things I don’t know what to do. I have been trying for a day now and still with no luck. I get tomtom running with it recognising the map but every time I go to select it, it says activation is wrong.

Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thanks in advanced

Don't you have a delay? Like your well past the roundabout but the triangle on the screen isn't yet? And then i'm talking about at least 20 metres...... if not, tell us your secret:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] shruff:
Tomtom 7 works straight off without any tweaks or messing around, it's simply the best and that is all there is to it!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Psygnosis84:
Yeh there is that problem and also the response when typing out addresses. Because i put in on QWERTY and since i type the address pretty quickly, it misses out on most of the keys cause it's too slow in loading the word up.

My GO720 is extremely quick in which you can type like you normally do is still fast.

My only quirks with TomTom on HD, other than that, it's the best.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] HGSquire:
TT7 works fine on my HD.

The issue I did have to sort out was using one isntance of TT Home to manage maps for 2 devices, HD and Xperia. In the end I had to create a different TT acct for each device.

The sequence went something like:

Xperia -

1. Installed TT7 cab, found in these fourms. 'TT_Nav_7.450.9028_repack3-vga-black.cab'

2. Launched TT Home ver. 1.5, linked to Xperia

3. Purchased download map of USA/Canada

4. Map downloaded after purchase, installed to device and TT7 open it w/o activation prompts, works perfectly.

Touch HD -

1. Installed TT7 cab, found in these fourms. 'TT_Nav_7.450.9028_repack3-vga-black.cab'

2. Launched TT Home ver. 1.5, tried linking to HD, had issues until I created a new acct, linked after w/o issue. Still showed that I had the USA/Canada map on my laptop, but I knew this was linked to my device code from Xperia.

3. Purchased (another new one for my HD) download map of USA/Canada

4. Map didn't download after purchase so I tried installing the one downloaded before which didn't work (activation prompt on device), also rooted around the TT site trying to get an activation code, appears that the ttcode.com site is for TT purchased products only, not downloaded maps. I started to worry I'd have a long call to support to sort out. I thought I'd try something before calling support, so I moved the map from the TT program/download location, on my laptop, to another directory, relaunched TT Home and the map no longer showed. TT Home then downloaded the newly purchased map and it installed and works perfectly w/o activation prompts.

I understand TT charging for maps and all, I mean it's not like it costs them nothing to create and update them, I'm fine w/ that. They must know that there is a large community out there that chg devices frequently and need a better solution to moving maps (lergally purchased from one device to another).

My concern is that I'll be suck if I ever upgrade the ROM on either the Xperia or HD, either a cooked one or any future releases by the manufacturer. It will chg my device id (I'm assuming) and then the maps will no longer work. Unless, someone knows the workaround, I'd love to hear it, I'm chomping at the bit to play w/ some cooked roms, but not willing to do so if I'm painting myself into a corner, having to buy a new map each time......

I hope this helps anyone banging their heads against the wall on this. It took me a lot of reading throught he various posts to get a process that worked for me.

hello

I have a problem to install tomtom.

when I execute the .cab file on my Touch HD the installation begins.

after choosing the destination (on storage card or on the HD) the installation process doesnt do anything. the progress bar leaves white and the windows symbol is rotating.

the installation of other cab files is no problem.

i tried to install it from storage card AND from my device. the same problem.

soft reset doesnt help.

can anybody help me?

edit:

i found the problem.

the problem was the tool "changescreen"

if it is deactiavted, the installation is no problem
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] hd touch:
hi,

i'm new on this forum. just bought an htc touch HD and managed to install tomtom 7 on it and downloaded the 1 free map.

I have also downloaded other maps with keygens. could somebody please tell me how to install these maps (which folder to put download files in and how to use keygen or something i have read about Device.ID) ?

Please explain in as much details as possible as i'm not used to all these stuff.

thx in advance.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] willio:
HGScuire,

When you upgrade you're HD with a new ROM the device will get another ID!

HD touch,

Warez (and Keygen's) are not allowed on XDA.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] HGSquire:
Yep, that's definitely gonna be a problem or blocker for me to try a new rom.

I think that TT allows for you to link your account to another device, but oly 2 or 3 times in a period of time, maybe 6 months or so. Of course, I believe that only works for products purchased like a TT device or the TT Navigator software through a retail channel and doesn't apply to purchased maps. Atleast I cannot find out how to activate my maps for use with TT 7 through the ttcode.com site, not sure if you can, so I'm assuming above.

Not trying to take this thread down a warez path. I saw the previous post and figured I could list the steps I took to get TT 7 to work with a legally purchased map via TT Home.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Optimus123:
Hi sorry but can anyone give me some step to step instructions on how to install the maps. I always get to the screen when its says 'Incorrect activation' or something like that. I am using the 'TT_Nav_7.450.9028_repack3-vga-black.cab' software so there’s no problem there but I can get the maps to work.

Could someone supply a link for me so I defiantly have a working map, hopefully the United Kingdom version, and some easy to follow instructions as so many places are saying different things.

Thank you in advanced
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] HGSquire:
You're not likely to get a link or find any info on this site to download a map.

If you use TT Home you'll be able to purchase a UK map from TT, it'll download after purchase and you can install to your device, the purchase takes care of the activation as TT Home will link your device to your TT account.

lagg

ok heres my story:

i installed tomtom ttn7.910.9185_vga_black from a link to this site, i also got trial map of london all works fine. I tested it this weekend on my outward journey i had constant connection to satalights and a very good signal. even when i took the hd away from the dash and held it in my hand moved it around the car and still got a good signal. on the way home tom tom kept loosing connection, and it was not connected for more than a few seconds at a time, teh screen kept going gray and this was my first experiance of lag and it hasnt got any better since. I have installed activesinc killer, run a fake exchange acc and selected manual sync to make doublly sure, and still crazy lag. i cant for the life of me find thee hd tweek program to turn of agps so havent tried that. any ideas?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] matthew999:
ok uninstalled tomtom from sd card, removed all old folders. i reinstalled on internal memory, still have active sync killer installed, and fake ecxhange acc setup as per forum, did the quickgps update thingy over web, turned it off for a good minute, rebooted and now it works fine again

TomTom 6 and 7 working on my HTC HD without any problem. I prefer version 7 because it is newer and works on full screen and possible to download many small things to customise the software.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ToxicDragon:
I have TomTom 7.910.9185 Version on My TomTom.

It works very well on the HD, as the buttons are big, and the keyboard is a good size.

I alongside with this am using 6.75 maps which are working absolutly fine :) hope this helps any of you still having problems

Exactly the same here but using v815 maps and voices
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] PondBoy:
Just noticed that TomTom Home 2.5 no longer complains about the HD not being a legitimate device and have now successfully installed my legitimate 8.152024 maps using home. I've also subscribed to the traffic and speed camera service with no problems.

I have turned off A-GPS which cured the issue where TT kept losing the GPS device. (I've never had a problem with lag)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] fowler002:
how'd you manage that? I just connected my touch hd but tomtom home 2.5 is still giving me the error.

I candownload the voices(before was getting not compatible with your device or some such), giving the traffic & speed camera 1yr ~£30, £~20 options and map share is now saying you've already joined(or something to that extent, before was getting the not compatible with your device) but still not giving me a list of maps I can buy and download(only showing the free map that I downloaded). I got the western european 1gb v815 2024 map by 'other means' as I couldn't get it through tomtom home, but if it lets me I'll buy the uk&ireland map(is it still ~£30 or gone back up to ~£40?).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] hd touch:
Hi,

I have managed to install tomtom v7 on my touch HD and add maps as well but dnt know where to install speed cameras voices. Do i put it in Navigator > Voices ??? or do i put it in the map folder ?

When it comes to new postcodes/zipcodes list do i put them in maps folder ?

thx in advance.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] danum:
.ogg files should work in either directory. Old habit but I still prefer to put them in the map folder as it is easier to view file name matches against the .ov2 POI files.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] :
Idiot guide for installing the maps:

1) Put the map in the root of your SD card (make sure the map-files are located in just one folder! e.g. root-->folder western europe v8...---> mapfiles. and not like root--> folder maps---> folder tomtom---> folder western europe--> mapfiles)

You're done, I hope this was clear.

I bought the 8.15 map from the TomTom website a few weeks ago but originally when I connected my device to TT Home it said the maps were incompatible with my device. Connected my HD to TT home the other day and it updated straight away. I can only guess that TomTom are gradually enabling support for the HD before a formal launch.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] wrxppp:
I've also had a trouble(ish) process to get TT7 working on my touch HD.

Installed TT7 (7.910) then Tomtom home 2.5.

Home recognised my old account with TT from years ago and I thought this would cause trouble having a new phone, but it identified that I could download 8.15 maps.

Only drama was the donwload stopping half way through with a TT server error. I phoned TT to report this, only to be told that the Touch HD was incompatible with TT7 and they would refund the cost of the map.

I presevered and followed their online instructions for such a problem (delete folder on PC > My Documents\TomTom\HOME\Download\complete\map).

The remaining map download took place and it has installed fine and TT7 is working spot on (so far).

I have graciously emailed TT that everything was sorted , but await to see if I still get a refund.

anyone able to get any third party apps working on any versions? There's loads for the tomtom units but i haven't been able to get them to work with 7.910
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] cboy1980:
Hi,

I have installed TT 6 on my HD, and for so far not any problems found out yet. Installling was good, it keeps on running without problems, and it goes very wel.

No problem on reading the streetnames (as once in the map area you can zoom in and out, so choose something pretty visible).

The only trouble I have is with the keyboard when typing the adress... it is a small keyboard at the bottom. Before I installed on my ASUS P535 and there the keyboard filled up half of the screen. Now only 1/5th of the screen. So the buttons/letters are quite hard to type...

maybe it is because the keyboard has a fixed pixel ratio... but I can not confirm this.. just a guess.

i seem to have installed tomtom 7.4 with no problem.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] wackyD:
Yep, I have tomtom7.4 running now with no problem.

There is considerable lag though - at least 3 seconds..
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ardsar:
Version 7.4 will install and run on the touch HD, however have you got tomtom home to recognise your device? If so, what version of tomtom home are you using. If not, how have you managed to purchase and install maps? Version 7.9 is the latest, and there are some cabs around that will work on the HD. Version 7.9 greatly improves the gps performance.

I am purely trying to warn people to make sure that they can connect to tomtom home before buying any maps.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JTHM:
I tried TomTom HOME 2.4 and it wouldn't recognise either of my PDAs. I went back to my 1.5 version left over from my TTN6 install on my Hermes and this recognises my Touch HD as HTC-Blackstone. It sees my TTN7 application, POIs and voices as you'd hope. I have used it to update my TomTom account with my Touch HD so my My TomTom account is sync'd to my HD - Weather and Buddies now work.

I'm running the demo map at the moment but what is scaring me is I've heard rumours of TomTom HOME being too clever and recognising that any TTN7 map I now purchase is not intended for my device and not allowing me to download/install.

Do I have anything to worry about?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ardsar:
Tomtom home2.4 checks a file on the pocket pc (navigator.bif) which contains the description of the pocket pc - ie that is where it gets the HTC-Blackstone info from. Home 2.4 uses this file and if it does not see Rapheal or Diamond, it will not allow you connect the device. The bif file is refreshed each time you start ttn7 or connect to pc, so don't bother trying to change it! Version 1.5 obviously does not do this check and allows you to connect.

I do not think you have anything to worry about as long as you purchased the maps in the first place. You are allowed to change your device once every 6 months.

Copilot Live 7 and TomTom 7.40 are working!

Check here http://blog.copilotlive.net/?p=208&cpage=1 Copilot 7 is working fine on the Touch HD.

Also, TomTom support told me the Diamond version of TomTom 7 is working perfectly on the HD as they sell on some countries this phone with TomTom 7 software preinstalled, as they do with Diamond and Touch Pro.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ardsar:
If that is the case, thats good news - there should be a tomtom home update soon to allow the HD to be recognised.

Is there no chance to solve the issue ?

Me I have tomtom 7.450 installed, the position is ok... but I have delay to update my position... I have the impression that it does the update every 4 or 5 sec of my position.... So perhaps I have a problem with tomtom conf because with IGO 8 for exemple I don't have this probs...

Tom Tom works!!!!!

I dont know why you are making such a blank statement. Research on here will show that it DOES recognize Tom TOm....I hve placed both 7.45 and 7.910 on my TOUCH HD and both work. V 7.910 looks beautiful on the screen and there is NO lag. I had previous USA and CANADA maps for my diamond. All i had to to was call Tom Tom and tell then the new device number of my HD and it works perfectly. I am using Tom Tom Home 1.5. The older versions didnt seem to work.

Success

Today I downloaded Version 7 of the Navigator and installed it. Works perfectly on my HD!!

My map, which I bought a year ago needed to be acitvated once again but that was free at www.ttcode.com

I bought this map for Navigator 6 but it works on the new version too.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ardsar:
My statement is based on the fact the software you are using has been ripped from either a diamond or touch pro. Tomtom have not "released" for the HD and therefore if you call them with a technical problem and state that you have the HD, they will tell you that they can offer you no support as the HD is not supported. This statement is also based on the fact the tomtom home 2.4 does NOT recognise the HD and therefore can not be supported. Also if you look at the online map store - can you see any reference to the touch HD??? Only the Pro and Diamond are referrenced.

Version 1.5 is for TTN6, however it does allow the HD to connect. Home 2.4 has deliberately been written to stop people without a touch pro or diamond using the TT7 application. I have heard rumours that the HD will be supported and an update to Tomtom Home will fix this issue. (When i first got my Touch pro, tomtom home was on release 2.3 which did not work on the pro. Version 2.4 however does. Tomtom home checks for the device description in the .bif file).
