My configuration of Tomtom on HD

Hi Everybody,

In order to help, I'm a sales rep so I spend a lot of time in my car using Tomtom !

I'm client of HTC (first one was Himalaya) and Tomtom (TTN3) for years and I switched last week from Artemis to Blackstone.

As I am client of "Trafic" I wanted to keep an oficial solution with Tomtom. So my configuration is the following :

- TT7.451.9033.vga_black.cab

- Western Europe 6.75 (the last official map provided by Tomtom)

- Traffic (through data connexion)

- Differents points of interest coming from different databases.

I asked Tomtom to activate the map and the traffic for the blackstone and it's working ! But please do not say to Tomtom you are using TT7 unless they will not help you !

As a friend of mine is working for Tomtom, I know that they created a PDA division in the company a few months ago in order to provide for march a new version of Tomtom Navigator for PPC (and iphone too) which will be working with the blackstone and let us having access to a wide range of services and new maps ! From my part, I will update my soft and map at that time for my blackstone.

Wish it helped..

More informations (following my last post)

I installed everything from copying forlders from my Artemis SD card :

Map

(named for example "Western Europe), including my POI (Hotels, Gas stations, ...),

Voices

(I have 14 in stock).

Then I installed the application TT7 from .CAB. No other version was working (5 attempts !) with my 6.75 version map. TT7.451.9033.vga_black.cab was the ONLY version that was able to "see" my map Western Europe and fully compatible with the service "Traffic"

No need to use Tomtom Home for installation. But if necessary, you must use TT Home V1.5 (available online on Tomtom.com). This is the only version working for PDA's. I confirm that my blackstone is appearing in Tomtom Home, giving me access to oficial up-to-dates and my account.

Quick information to keep in mind : Tomtom strategically decided to stop all developments for PDA since Tomtom Home V1.5, Maps in version 6 (eg Western Europe 6.75) as well as application in version 6 too. They decided to focus only on their GO products and new in-car products. As they created a new division since several months, they will come back for march (scheduled time) with a version 7 for PDA and provide news maps for PDAs.

As a conclusion, my configuration is the only one that match a blackstone with official Tomtom services. Just need the right version (TT7.451.9033.vga_black.cab) of application.

Wish it helped ;)

Tomtom 7 on HD

I've got my tomtom 7 working perfectly on my HD. I use the VGA version.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gacowarlock:
Which map are you using and how did you get the map?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ScarySquirrel:
I cannot find TomTom Home 1.5 to download, could you perhaps provide a link?

Thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gacowarlock:
TT Home 1.5 does only work for installation if you have already downloaded your map.

It is not possible to use TT Home 1.5 for downloading any new purchased 8.xx maps.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ScarySquirrel:
Thanks for the clarification. TomTom are refunding my maps which is good.

I guess I'll have to wait until they release a product specifically for the Touch HD.

I have TomTom running with the free London map, and it works, but obviously where my icon is there are no roads as I live in Kent, not much use!?! :p

No, you will even be able to get the MapShare Updates regardless of the invalid device error.

You will find a voices package here: http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/tools_download-124/tomtom_voice_download_2314.html

I'm trying to get tomtom to work and I have it installed, I have the maps working, but the GPS status simply reports "poor gps reception, are you inside a building?". It can see up to about 7/8 satellites but they are all grey and they don't turn blue. I've waited a while but no luck. I've also tried a soft reset to see if that helped (it worked with the Omnia) but that hasn't worked either.

I've also tried to configure it via other NMEA but that does the same thing. Grey bars that don't turn blue.

Any idea how to get them to turn blue and hence locate me!?! Thanks.

I've also run quickGPS but that hasn't helped!

I am a complete novice as far as Smartphones and files are concerened. I Read the link on post 213, but it is all double dutch to me!! Meta tags etc?

I have an HD with Tomtom ver 7.910 (9185) installed and works but have no maps(only Bath).

I would like to install maps of UK and europe but have no idea where to start and what to download.

Could someone give me an idiots guide to what to download and how to install and get working. THanks wil supply email address if wanted......
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] custardo01:
Have any UK users got 7 digit post code support on any of these versions that are being adapted for the HD? If so could you tell the version numbers (TT and map)

Thanks.

I will send you a PM on the forums in a minute.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] HDuser:
Stay on subject please.

Talk about versions that were extracted out of other roms.

Talk about getting those version to work on a HD.

Talk about downloading 1 free map form TOMTOM.

Talk about which maps have been confirmed to work on the HD.

Talk about gettting TOMTOM Home to work with the HD.

And for the rest go so were else.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] the_flyer:
AFAIK version 8 maps will not work on TomTom 7. I am running TomTom 7.45 and it works well. My only issues are a slight lag that I would have just accepted/ignored had it not been discussed at such length on the forums. Also when I turn aGPS on with HD tweak the TomTom doesnt lock any satellites. Without aGPS the reception is fantastic - regularly get 11/12 satellite locks c.f. 6-7 on an external sirf III bluetooth (GPSlim) and was the same on my Touch Cruise.

Everything is fine now exept the small Icons of my OVI.

If you have installed HD-tweak make sure aGPS is disabled. I had this error too and it may be a quick fix.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] x800max:
I just installed TTN_7.910.9185_vga_black on my Touch HD (French rom).

All is working fine, I'm using various maps v675, v720, v725 and v815.

The only exception is option to Change car Symbol (Preferences 3 of 6) which uses bmp files in \Art\Cars directory.

When I try to change the car symbol using this option , I get message "Not enough memory is available" and Tomtom crashes.

I didn't had this issue with TT7 on my previous Glofiish x800 pda, with same software version and maps installed , and a lot less memory available.

I've tried also to set WVGAFIX3 in VGA mode before running TT7, result is the same.

Anyone have any idea on that issue ?

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jeannot61:
I installed TOMTOM "7.910.9185vgablack" on my HD with maps of Europe v.8.15. It works perfectly. I also installed Navigon 7 with the latest card in 2008 (third quarter), which also works perfectly, Navigon is a little slow to load, but is more beautiful to watch :-)

For images of cars with TomTom, for the HD simply requires that images are 120x120x24b (42.2 KB) and it works without problems.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JPW:
Does anyone know where I can get some car images from for my TomTom 7 - would really love a mini cooper.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] x800max:
Some cars . Put them in \Art\Cars at root of your sdcard.

YellowCar.bmp is a mini , I guess.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kjt57:
If you connect to Tomtom on home 2.5 you can download car images free.

Also available at www.pocketgpsworld.com but you need membership, but this also gives you safety cameras and voices for tom tom with weekly updates. Well worth joining

Got tomtom working fine on my HD.

Tomtom navigator 7 ver: 7.910 (9185)

United Kingdom And ROI 815.2024

Safety cameras and voices from www.pocketgpsworld.com

Car icon from Tomtom home 2.5

The only thing I have not got is full postcodes, it only recognises the first 4 letters/numbers. Any ideas please? :confused:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Matterhorn:
Thanks for the .bmps. Unfortunately it didn't work. I could see them listed in the preferences, I select a new car, it says the car has changed but it doesn't show up on the map. I go back to preferences and it is still set to the default car. Oh well, no biggie.

Edit: Oops, my bad. I just found out that the cars only work in 3d mode and I was in 2d.

Thanks for the tip.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] rafro123:
You need to add a ZIP folder to the root of your SD card for the full UK postcodes.

The file is 9mb big so just do a search for it in google. The file is called "Great_Britain.postal". Alternatively I believe you can get it through Tomtom Home.

If you have trouble finding it i can upload it for you.

EDIT: Scratch that, here is the link: http://www.tomtom.com/updates/zipcodes/map7/wezipcodes715.zip
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kjt57:
Thanks Rafro123.

What do you need to call the folder so that Tomtom recognises it?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] rafro123:
Just call it "zip" and it should work!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] zenorth:
hi everyone, it's my 1st post and i wanted to thank everyone since i was able to profit from all the posters experiences. especially since i'm new to pda's and tomtom. i installed the black vga (thanks lucas0511 ) and found the matching maps. after taking time to read carefully everything went fine. but something is still unclear to me:

1:it seems the black vga.cab came w/o voices wich is exactly what i wanted (no voices installed) unless they are there and i missed them. anyways tomtom displays everytime the message->"warning: no voices available, you won't get any voice guidance..." and then one has to press continue. question: how can i disable this message?

2:i downloaded the a-gps file and then canceled the a-gps ability with cristoff's hd tweak. anyways, even in 2d maps and only displaying airports as poi's, theres a 30 feet lag on the navigations performance. any ideas?

3: are the 8024 maps "updateable"? or do you have to get every quarter new maps (if that's the frequency)?

4:i never used tomtom or pois and wanted to know where to install the speed cams pois (and where to get them?)

thank you in advance for reading and eventually answering

Step by step guide for tom tom maps

Hello everybody..

for several days I ve been trying to find a decent step by step (for absolute idiots) guide on how to install tom tom 7 maps.

I got the recommended from the threads vga.7.910.9185.black file and successfully installed it. So far so good.

Now some guides I saw asked me to enter the device ID. Nowhere could I find wre or how to find it. After a stroke of "ingeniousness" (yes for a total ignorant like me :) I copied the ttnavigator.bif file from the tomtom7 installation folder in my sd card into the desktop and from there I dragged dropped (copied) it into an open empty notepad page. I only mention the process for someone who is looking how to do it like I was.

So far so good. Now I'm stuck. I have no clue what to do. So many different incomplete/innacurate/ confusing guides...

I need the maps for Uk & Ireland (hopefully London will be in there), Greece, Spain & Italy working. I have the Greece 815, the United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland_815_2024 and United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland_815.2003 maps compressed.

Do I uncompress them in the pc? and then what?

I hope this is not too long and not at the wrong place.

It is for HTC Touch HD.

any help will be much appreciated
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] rafro123:
I'll try to answer as many points as possible!

You have to acquire the voices seperately. The default voices can be acquired through TomTom Home or you can download them from numerous sources, just use google.

POIs (eg speedcams) are available primarily from TomTom or PocketGPSWorld. The files need to go in the map folder on your SD card in order to work. You should then see them under TomTom -> Preferences -> POIs. Again google is your friend for acquiring these files!

Once you have the maps you need to uncompress them and then place the folder on your SD card. The folder is named after the map region and version and should contain files such as cline.dat, cnode.dat etc.

You then need to use the Device ID to activate the maps. You need to download Easyusetools v8 for this. If you need more help with exactly what to do them let me know and i'll send you the guide i wrote!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] zenorth:
hi rafro123, thank you for the answer but i might have been unclear->

1-

i don't want any voices installed on tomtom but i would like to disable the red screen with the following message saying:

"warning: there are no voices available.you will not hear any spoken instructions. press:> continue"

is there a way to disable this message?

2-

another thing was the gps lag of 30-50 ft while riding my bicycle. i saw the article concerning the lag while driving@60 mph in a car/bike with a specific offset but in my case i was riding my bicycle just to try the nav.

3-is there a way to upgrade 815.2024 maps offline? or online or not at all and one has to wait for a new set of maps wich comes every quarter roughly?

in any case thanks for the answer

Ok I have the easyusetools, the maps are in the root of the SD card, and the folders are names as: United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland_815_2024 and Greece_815_2081.

With the phone plugged in as hard drive I run runmeforallautomatic. select option 1 for Navcore 8.010 or higher, then I select g drive which is the drive of my phone as a hard disc, and i get this: File not found map not found.

Stuck again.. I think I could use your guide man..
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] rafro123:
Hi zenorth, sorry I misunderstood your question! I'm not sure about how to turn off that message. You could always add a voice and then disable it!

Not sure about the lag as I haven't experienced it. As far as map upgrades i'm not aware of any way that you can. TomTom Go users can use Mapshare to update minor corrections but that doesn't apply to PDA navigation. I would just update the maps when you need to (when you find a local error usually!)

Kauliarhs - i have PM'd you my guide as I don't want to break any forum rules! Let me know if you need any further help.

Hi guyes,

I am planning to use tom tom while biking, and keep it in my pocket. Do you know if there is a way to lock the screen, or switch it off while using getting directions from tomtom ? I tried to push the power button, but it makes it come back to windows...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] agent003:
Not that this is going to help you much but same here.....I have both tt7 and igo8 installed and where tt7 gives me lag igo8 absolutelly does not.

This is not an indicative of a general problem with tt as far as I can see as from extensive searches I have just decided to leave it at that and mostly use igo8 and to be honest do like it beter but the lack of full postcode search is still a bit of a let down.

I simply will not look into this further for now since as mentioned the extensive searches indicate that although me and you and certainly others have this same problem, there are also some that have it the other way round where igo8 gives the lag and tomtom doesnt so this is and as far as i can see at the moment pretty much a mixed thing with nothing really conclusive....its an ongoing search.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acz:
Found the answer, took half a day searching the internet (no one could help) but got there in the end by accident. Just in case anyone else has this problem where they have used easyusetools to authorize a map and it still doesnt work, I got mine working by simply restarting the device!!!!! Yes, soft reseting it!!!

Can't believe it take me half a day to get there but no instructions have ever mentioned the device will need restarting after installing everything from scratch. Probably worth putting it into the easyusetools instructions. Strangely the free downloaded map supplied from TomTom worked straight of but not the UK & IR map I was trying to use.

Im happy now :) :) :)
