TOMTOM 7 - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Hi,
Is tomtom 7 that much better than tomtom6? I have tomtom6 on my touch dual and havnt installed gps software on my new diamond yet...is it worth the upgrade?

Yes of course it's better, you can use the newest v7 maps and you have mapshare.

im more than happy with my tt6

does TT6/7 do voice navigation ( turn by turn voice instruction ) or is that only on the Garmin?

TT6 does so I think its a fair bet to say TT7 does.

Thanks! I hate to be a pain but do you have a link to tomtom on the tomtom website - I cant find it on the site :s

TT7 is not available on the TT website.......
.....it is available on this website (search...) as it has been ripped from various devices. The 7 series maps are available from TT website, and these alone are worth updating from TT6 to TT7. As I understand there is only limited reverse compatability with TT6 (specific latest versions) and the 7 series maps...
Hope this helps....

Here you can get TT7.

I'm happy with tt7 except for the lag

No voices in TTN7
I installed TTN7 on my Diamond, but I cannot select a voice. TTN7 does not 'see' the voices.
Does anybody know how to solve this?

you can download voices from tomtom home or directly in your tomtom on your diamond. goto "wijzig voorkeuren --> spraak voorkeuren" and choose "download stem".
Something else... is it possible to get bigger POI icons?

It supports map v720.1803 of Western Europe ao.
anyone needing maps should try demonoid... apparently the tomtom standalone maps work with the ppc variant, i know this was the case with v6.
I got the program working on my device, but no maps. And since i regularly use the navigation, I reinstalled V6. Wish there were working v7 benelux maps though...

TomTom or Garmin?

Hi all,
I've looked through the first 7 pages of this forum and can't see this question asked or answered anywhere.
I have my shiny new O2 XDA Ignito sitting in front of me and it is crying out for some sat nav software.
I have looked at TomTom navigator but from reading some of the posts on this site it appears TomTom 7 is the vogue. What are the differences between the two?
Is Garmin's mobile sat nav any good?
If I go for TomTom where is the best (sorry cheapest) place to buy it from on DVD?
Cheers.
Matt.
Garmin
Garmin Mobile XT is fantastic. I have it on my Tilt and it's as good if not better than the GPS in my car. It does turn by turn verbally which is a must. It even works in my pocket. You can have 3d maps or regular. It has traffic and automatic re-routing. It comes on a micro sd card and once you plug in the card it asks if you want to install. That's all there is to it.
The maps are great and detailed. The options are many. I love my Garmin and can't figure out why people aren't jumping on it. It's a one time cost rather than every month. Garmin is a great company to deal with and will be around when many of the others are gone.

Does it come on CD/DVD though as the XDA Ignito (HTC Diamond) doesn't have a card slot?
Matt
My dad got a seperate GPS unit with the Garmin CD and it can install and show the map just fine, but cant use the internal GPS so that's totally useless. Of course that GPS brick should be optional if your phone includes a GPS (I mean you pay for it regardless).
Had to aquire that online special version just to get the thing working
use TomTom Navigator 7 - specificly developed for the VGA HTC Touch Diamond. Works perfect for me.
TomTom, it's perfect!
i use igo8.
found it to be better than tomtom.

Rang Garmin and after 20 minutes they answered. They conformed you can buy their software on DVD but you have to buy the GPS receiver as well... something to do with unlocking the maps using a receiver code or something!
So as a result it looks like TomTom is the way forward for me.
When I go to the TT website it makes no mention of TT 7 and yt loads of you guys on here appear to be using it. Where do I get it from and how much is it (I know Navigator 6 is £87)?
Thanks in advance guys.
Matt.
TomTom7 is superb, in terms of obtaining a copy, a mere google search would probably locate it straight away, free or paid for
Would definately go for TT7 as they are what I would call the market leaders (for Europe anyway). I've used both and perhaps gotten used to TT7, but I have been using it for TT5, TT6 and now TT7 and it works with great map support for US, Europe and Australia. Suggest you google or download the cab from numerous folks here (...search!!) and then buy the maps (whatever) accordingly!
i have both tomtom7 and Garmin XT...diference is in refresh...TomTom refreshes position like 0,5 s and Garmin 1-1,5s
But i preffer Garmin ( we have better maps for our country for Garmin )
hey man go nav n go IGO8!!! better than tt7: faster, prettier & full 7digit postcodes in uk fresh speed cameras waypoints etc

you need to crack it since it will only work off a SD card :/. Anyhow iGO8 ftw
TomTom?
IGO?
Garmin?

Works absolutely great on my Diamond, uses a nice black theme which fits perfectly, has lane guidance, detailed spoken instructions, nice fluid 3D graphics, the lot.

TomTom 7 out for WM 6.1

After over six weeks finally an answer from TomTom - could not be worse, it reads:
"Navigator 7 is a software product that is only available as an exclusive offering that comes preloaded on specific handsets that are available only in Europe. As such, unfortunately we do not have a Navigator 7 solution for your handsets. Outside of TomTom’s policy, our exclusivity with the handset manufactures prevents us from complying with your request. We do apologize for any inconvenience."
Is that no the best way to loose customers....
Although there are other ways to get TomTom 7 on your Xperia, that sucks indeed.
Looks like you won't get an official one. That sucks of them to be honest. I'm not an 'honorable' customer myself as I use a cracked one. But this is a fail-safe way of making paying customers go away.
If they won't sell it, that's their fault...
There are plenty of places to get TT7 on the net and it works a treat on the X1.
IGO8 is so much better than Tomtom anyway. I love igo8.
TomTom 7 - v7.910.9185 is the latest version available to download, works great on x1 but I agree igo 8 is better.

Not really.
IGO has no automatic intelligent traffic rerouting based on real world traffic jams. No automatic updating of speed camera's (fixed & mobile). Igo does have a clickable navigation screen though. I.e. you can click on something your passing and see what it is. Tomtom 6 misses that, don't know about 7.
for me, tomtom 7.910 works like a charm
Did you have to do anything special to get 7.910 installed on yor X1. Everytime i try it comes up with device not supported.
Do you need to be connected to the internet to use tomtom7?

You are NOT allowed to link to these files here because it's illegal to share instead of buying!
I can't seem to find a GPS signal for some reason...I have the latest maps and all...Does tomtom work by itself on the phone, or does it need an external antenna?

There is however a workaround. Download Resource Hacker, open a copy of TomTom Navigator.exe and remove the resource under HI_RES_AWARE. Save the file and replace on device.
Then I would recommend to install the navigation panel to easily run tomtom in landscape without having the keyboard out. If you use panels, that is ..
The text in the statusline is getting bigger as well, and portrait navigation is a bit narrow.

SNAP Navigation software help

Just received... my old Tom TOm 5 isn't working, IS working but can't find GPS receiver!
I am using TT 5, the same used with Wings and Excalibur, with external GPS!
Solutions? Have you tested some other navigation software?
Try Sygic McGuider or Garmin Mobile XT. Those should work .
Sygic Mcguider... the only way is to buy an (expensive) SD pre-installed version
Garmin XT, expensive "should work"? I can't buy a "should work"
Sygic doesn't wok!
Installed, looking for fix.... error, program crash
Hi , it seem copilot 7 its compatible too
Route 66, ver 8 works flawless. The fastest fix i've seen on htc phone! Even indoor...

Almost. You can use 95% of the menu's with the trackball and/or keyboard.
Only a few menu's, which usually are only used rarely to configure the device, can't be selected without FakeCursor or SPHelper.
So after setting up TomTom the daily use doesn't require any tools, just the trackball and keyboard!
exactly, what kind of version u use?
The problem i have with my snap is that i cant select another country with keyboard or trackball?
Do you use a specific key for that?
i'm using tomtom software
Confirmed, full version of McGuider 2009 is working, altough trial is not...

Garmin Mobile works!
Small inconvenience: moving around the map with the trackball is slow
My mobiler
Hi,
I used my mobiler to get tomtom7 to work properly.
Couldn't change the country with the Snap.
With my mobiler I changed it.
Now I can use it like tomtom shoul.

For those of you that cant get Navigation software to 'find' your GPS install MSGPSID to set your port.

Sorry for the looong delay, I am using the R66 WM version. The only BUG is the GPS setting installed. I discovered, after installing TOM TOM, that the the TT signal bars aren't displayed, even in full reception.
I foud this is a well known bug related to Route 66 installation
But TT works, even without the signal bars

what is your version of tomtom ?
TomTom-Home
Hey guys,
I got tomtom running, but can't get a connection to tomtom home. I've got not only my maps there (ok - can hack my own maps to get them running), but also ordered the traffic and speedcam services.
Has anyone an idea, how i can get a connection to tomtom-home? The fault can't be an incompatibility to WM 6.5. Had it on my Diamond 2 running. Has HTC built in a barrier for this feature, to help CoPilot?
Tomtom simply answered to my mail - sorry - incompatible... Great. I hope, they would set my account free to a new device, if i get a connection to tt-home.
Excuse me for my bad english - hope u'll get my point ;-)
TomTom.7.916.9189
Works for me, with 835 maps.
