Satnav on X1

Got my X1 today and doing some testing tells me that Copilot live 7 satnav software doesnt seem very happy on X1 in case any of you were thinking of getting it. Works ok but seems to have a problem with the resolution. I was curious as Toshiba G900 is WVGA I think and it is officially supported by Copilot.

Hi Mate
Why not go for Tomtom 7, works flawlessly on mine and automatically changes to landscape when opening keyboard.
Cheers

TomTom 7 works like a charm on my UK Vodaphone X1 and swapping to landscape was flawless.
I recommend it also

This is not good news. Do you know if ALK are doing anything about this? I've done a quick search of the various forums and your post is the only reference I can find on the matter. I'd be interested to know if the Touch HD has the same problem.

I would love to use TT 7 but !
where can I buy it - in Germany no way !
Pls help !!!!

Strange, because I got a mail from ALK yesterday. It said that Copilot should work with X1. They hadn`t done much testing yet, but it wasn`t any reason it shouldn`work according to ALK.
Try send them a mail to see what they answer.

Works ok for me
I have Co Pilot working fine and changes to landscape too. Just loaded it and off it went....no problems at all!

Thats interesting and I couldnt see why it shouldnt work either so Ill ask alk about it. Problem i have (even tho it functions ok) is resolution. It takes up whole screen in portrait with text really big & in landscape it wont use whole screen & text so small impossible to read even with a magnifying glass!

There are links to TomTom 7 on this site but you won't find any maps as you have to buy them from tomtom.
Google is your friend tho
I have TomTom 7 and UK maps and Speed camera database and its fantastic, started it up on my way home from work and locked onto 9 sats in 4 seconds

Getting TomTom to work

I tried installed 3 different versions of TomTom 6.01 & 6.03 (I'm licensed) v7.XX (out of desperation I wanted to see if I could get any version running)
Version 6 gives memory access violation.
I sometimes get the TomTom opening in triple tiny view at the top of the screen.
I can't install v7 it says this version is not suitable for this device.
I've spent hours on this and I just can't get it to work. Has anyone else been experiencing this? Can anyone that managed to get TomTom working, tell me how?
Many thanks,

Hi,
Many thanks for trying to help but I've already seen this post and unfortunately it doesn't help. I tried to install the same version 7 but it says something like device not compatible and the earliest version of 6 that I have been able to find was 6.01.
I've spent many hours on the this problem, I've already searched here and all over the web. It looks to me like only a few people have been lucky to get it working.
If I don't get Tomtom working soon then I'll be sending the Touch HD back. I would appreciate any suggestions. I don't know if it's possibly an issue about missing dlls.
Thanks,

ok thats strange, but i cant help you anymore because i dont have any Touch HD.
But i hope for you that someone will help you.

7.4 should be working ...

The problem is that Tom Tom6 maps won't work on Tom Tom7. If you have a world wide collection of maps like me, it's going to cost a fortune to buy all new maps.
Has anyone figured out a way to get Tom Tom 6.03 working on the HD? Surely it is a matter of tweaking??
Edit: It's not a matter of Tweaking. I found a 7.450.9028 cab in my archives from another one of my devices. I was surprised to find that this version WILL work with TomTom 6.75 maps but not lower. Fortunately all of my maps were 6.75 so I'm good to go The only thing/problem is the text and keyboard are small.

I've managed to find an old cab file for 6.00 and it worked straight away! It has all my previous maps and POI from the memory card working fine. I can live with using 6.00 instead of 6.30 so long as it's stable/reliable.
Cheers,

Hi Matterhorn!
I hope to be trying this later today. What steps did you take to try to install Tom Tom 6.03 ? I have this from my TyTn II CD and updated my maps a few months ago.
I have Tom Tom home installed on my PC and was hoping to get Tom Tom home to see the Touch HD as a new device and install to it.
I will post here what I find happens with my attempts.

TOMTOM 7
I own realy a Touch Hd. For 3 days now.I've installed Tomtom 7,450 VGA.
It works perfectly and with Gsen even horizontal.
I also didn't notice any GPS lag. So what are those people talkinh about.
I suspect that I the only have an HD in their imagination.

I have version 6.010 and i installed it, i hoped for a working install but it doesn't work at all, boot logo from tomtom is showing after that it's crashing like hell, so i founded somewhere a 6.000 CAB file and that's running perfectly on the Touch HD. very strange to me , normaly should newer version have more compatibility solutions.

TomTom 7.450 works on HD
try to find ttn7 with 12.063 MByte. This version works very fine and I'm surpriced about the GPS speed.

Is there any difference is speed when using 2D or 3D maps ? I read somewhere on this forum that someone experienced better speeds ( no lag ) using 2D maps ?!?!
I use Destinator 7 and I am looking to buy HD within a month. I am wondering if anyone can share their experience using Destinator 7 on this device.
Cheers.

A few people are saying that ttn7 works fine for them. It didn't work for me but maybe I just got a duff cab/version. But as licensed (v6) user with lots of maps and a traffic subscription (the subscription would probably be ok but maps definitely not) I prefer to stick with version 6 for now. Tomtom looks great on the big screen and is quick smooth and reliable so I'm happy. Done some short runs with gsen and all seems good there too.

Installing TOMTOM 7

First a thank you for all the support I found here. Tried to install TomTom 7 on the X1 (legit) with ttn7.cab and TT..repack3, none worked. It starts to install but on the end it shows "unsuccessful". You can open TT, even download also "unsuccessful" a free map, what I do not need. The maps I have are all from TT6, but none is recognzed by TT7. Calling TT does not help they do not support TT7. TT home 2.5 does not see the X1. SE has no idea. I also talked to Navigon in Europe but there is yet not a WM 6.1 compatible version available. Just want my navigation back and working. Can anyone direct me to get it done?

are you using a qvga or vga version of the cab file? i have tomtom7 installed very easy on my x1 and works perfect
also tt7 doesnt support tt6 maps as far as im aware,but tt7 maps everything installed really easy on wm6.1
if you need more help let me know
is it a new purchase? have you had it on a phone before?

Don't mean to hijack your thread but.....
I would like to purchase the UK & Western Europe maps but not certain which ones to buy (Tom Tom site does not list X1) also I cannot get TT Home to recognize the X1 so not sure if I can install the maps even if got them.
Anyone done this yet?

I bought mine for cruise/diamond and it works fine

Thanks - how did you install it? Was it via TT Home or just download from tomtom.com to PC and manually transfer?
Thanks

1) Use the old TT Home version - 1.5 - this will work !
2) TT 7 works with 6.75 maps - earlier versions not !

Thanks Peter.
I have tried to find TT 1.5 but no luck so far. Any ideas?

Just Google TomTom 1.5 and you will find it - if not leave me a message and I email you the file

Hi Peter, will try what you say to get it done. I used TomTom before on my Ipaq. I must change the "device" in TomTom Home- how? Where can I find on my maps which version they are, they are paid and downloaded. Which version of TT7 are you using? Would be greatif you could help out, thanks anyway

Unable to use gps properly.

Hey guys,
first post on this, what seems to be a great forum.
I recently bought the Jade and overall i'm very pleased with it.
Today I had some time to install gps software. I picked TomTom 7.450 because i like it more than Igo. The program itself is installed well but i just can't get the receiver activated.
I allready used several settings (disabled agps, 'built-in gps' or 'other nmea receiver' in tomtom, also with different baud rates) but it keeps saying i have a bad reception, it's waiting for a useable signal and it doesn't find any satellites.
I already installe the cab file i found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3031549&postcount=5 but that also doesn't seem to help anything.
Would someone be willing to give a step by step guide in how to get this thing fixed?
Secondly, can someone tell me what setting I should use in orde to still see the 'start button' when i'm using TomTom. With my last pda it remained there when TomTom was activated, so I could also use other programs but with the Jade i can't seem to find how to do this.
Sorry if there are some grammatical errors in this post, I'm from Belgium . Thanks in advance!

update:
i managed to get some signal and got a fix, but after about a minute it was lost again and it won't find it again.
Also I installed IgO8 but it won't start on my jade so I guess I'll have to do it with TomTom...

OK, let's try to find where is the problem .
First chceck your registry. Find out what is your settings in this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS
Set GPSMode to 1
Set EnableAGPS to 0
If you already installed that CAB, it should be like this. This is going to make your GPS fix slower but more accurate and reliable (or it seems to do that ).
Second, download and install GPS Tuner from http://www.gpstuner.com/ . This is a great GPS software for offroad navigation which I use when testing GPS recievers.
Do not allow it to set your GPS receiver automatically. Set your GPS in GPS Tuner to COM 4, baud rate 4800 and Type 1. Go to "GPS Panel" and click green button "Start GPS". Do not leave this tab, because you can see how your receiver is getting fix. Be patient, especially if you do not have a good view of sky. The reason why I use this to test GPS is that you can see satelite signal even if you do not have a fix. Not all GPS applications do that.
If GPS Tuner is able to get fix in some time, there is something wrong with your TT settings. If it is not, there is something wrong with your GPS receiver or registry settings.

In the gps panel tab, the following results were given after pressing start gps (after about 2-3mins):
Lateral and longitudinal positions, altitude were correct
PDOP: 3,7 (good)
Fix: 3d fix
Furthermore it found 16 sats from which 7 were active.
So i presume it's not the gps unit itself but the TT settings? Registry settings are ok i think.
Many thanks allready!

Use latest version of TT
Try to install the latest version (v7.9) of TomTom. This one works ok on the Jade and you can also use the latest maps.

Hey,
i got the 7.450 version to work and it's working brilliantly. Thanks for the link to the 7.9 version Jgeerts, but i'm going to stick with the 7.450 version now it's working .
Heb trouwens even even op je link rondgesnuffeld en de flitspalen zullen erg goed van pas komen! Waarvoor dank natuurlijk.

Yes, but version 7.9 gives correct status for the sattelite reception and it also supports the latest v8.15 (and higher) maps. Version 7.450 does not support the v8 maps.

To be very honest. The file you linked me to (http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/8910078/74070269/sharing.html) gives me an ttsystem file after unpacking without an extension (no .cab, no .exe) and i actually don't have a clue how to use it
edit:
ok, got it to work, i installed the TomTom_7.910.9185 QVGA Black. I hope this one's ok?

To use v8 maps on TT7.450 use keygen v7

That's all ;-)

I also have TTN_7.910 9185 QVGA Black.cab and when i trie to install it on my HTC Touch 3G NL i'am getting a errormessage: Installation of TTN_7.910 9185 QVGA Black.cab failed.
This file is okay, i had it installed on my HP iPaq hx2110 with WM5.
Anyone any idea?
TTN7.910 works now, read below how i managed it:
It allready had TTN_7.450.9028 VGA.cab installed on my HTC Touch 3G NL, although the Touch 3G is a QVGA device it worked (some textlines are to big for the screen).
On this thread i found following link: (http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/8...9/sharing.html).
There you can find: TT7_v7.910.9185_vga_via_update_van_7450.9028.rar in the tomtom pda folder.
In this download you wil find TomTom_7.450.9028.cab and 2 versions of TT7_v7.910.9185, black and blue incl. data.chk
After installing TomTom_7.450.9028.cab (or in my case TTN_7.450.9028 VGA.cab) all you have to do is copy the preffered version, black or blue of TomTom Navigator.exe and Data.chk to your device: in the folder (phone or storage memory)\Programmabestanden\Navigator.
Since i have a Dutch device the folder is called Programmabestanden, i don't know how it's called in English.
On my device there is also a folder Program Files, where in my case TT is not installed.
But i think most of you can figure it out yourselfs by know how it works, otherwise your not worthy a PDA.
With TTN 7.450 my HTC could find satellites but it was unable to show me how many it found. GPS receiption was good although. With A-GPS turned OFF.
With TTN 7.910 the problem above is solved, my HTC stil finds satellites and now i can see how many of them there are out there in the sky.
Another nice thing is that now although i installed VGA TT7.450 and replaced it with VGA TT7.910 i can read all text on the screen.
The text is smaller so it fits the screen but still very good readable.
Sincelry,
a big fan of TomTom.

Final solution to this problem !
Disabling AGPS is the cause of the issue we have here.
I've done some testing with AGPS enabled and GPSMode set to 1 and the results are good (quick fix and almost no lag).
Please read my reply on another topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3143383&postcount=17
A cab is attached to it to make the registry changes.
Kind regards.

I am quite happy with my GPS performance. However i am using Garmin XT. There is lag, of course but probably by a few ms (a few feet) but it does not make me miss a turn or a junction.

Wrong, 7.450 does support v8.15 maps, but only with keygen v7. don't ask me why, the answer is: because!
7.910 needs keygen v8 for v8.15 maps.

Keyboard too small in Tomtom

hello,
i've got tomtom 7 installed on my HD2 but the keyboard is extremely small. any idea how to fix that? changing in to large in preferences doesn't make any difference, it's about the size of the status bar on the bottom. the same version of tomtom on my i-mate 9502 works fine. any ideas? thanks.

Make room for a small one
Ironic as it sounds but go into your settings and change the keyboard to smal... its the same on the HD from what I can remember.. If it dont wok dont flame me as I dont own either device but did this on my mates HD and it worked ;-)

didn't work for me.

You need wvga version instead of qvga

I have tomtom 7.916 and the keyboard is perfect. Maybe you have an old tomtom version ?

I have found by using the BSB tweeks mod and enable the TOM TOM Prog to turn to landscape when you turn phone, the keyboard is made much much bigger

thanks for your replies.
small keyboard is the same as large, doesn't matter what i chose.
also, i don't know where i can get the wvga version as the only one i've got is the qvga.
i have tomtom 7.450 which is not newest but it worked fine on my vga screen in i-mate 9502.

I have a cab for 7.9 but it won't acknowledge my perfectly legal map.

We're not allowed to post links to warez sites, but if you were to look at the usual suspect ppc web sites I'm sure there are ways to activate your maps
As far as I know TomTom don't officially support the HD2 yet, but there are ways around this. If you have a legit map and legit TomTom software I personally don't have any issues with you using an alternative source for your downloads.
