I ordered Co-Pilot 7 Live for my Touch HD. Just wondering if anyone else out there has used this on the Touch HD? Can you tell me how it looks and how well it functions on the HD?
I've been looking for something better than google and Windows live search maps. Live search works good, but the font size is very small to see and you have to download the maps as you go off the internet like googlemaps. I'd love to have TomTom 7 with North America maps, but thats hard to get a hold of over here.
I had seen an internet article on the Touch HD of it being displayed at a copilot booth talking about how they are working on a wvga version update for the HD.http://blog.copilotlive.net/?p=208
Thanks for any input!
I've seen it on a X1, so it should be no problem cause it has the same res, right?

There are a few issues that ALK are working on, however they could not give me a release date. From what i understand, the map is strecthed to fit the display.

Below is the reply I received from ALK Technologies to my request for information:-
Response (Adrian) - 10/11/2008 12.46 PM
Dear Mike,
Thank you for contacting CoPilot Technical Support.
With regards to your query we inform you that the HTC Touch HD is not fully compatible, we are working to solve the compatibility issue and we will update our compatibility list as soon as we solve it.
If you have any further questions, or feel that this incident has not been resolved to your satisfaction, please do not hesitate to bring this to our attention.
Regards,

Well yes the Copilot 7 runs on the HD, and yes the screen is slightly stretched to fit.
My bigger concern seems to be that my position is always about 200m off the true position. Note that this is NOT a lag problem, but a positioning problem. It marks my position always about 200m to the east of where I really am (even if I am standing still). And this is when the HD is showing a strong connection to 7 or more GPS satellites.
Anyone know a way to put an offset into the programme?

wow..I hope your experience is an anomaly..I ordered copilot 7 and should come in today. Hopefully a compatability fix is all thats needed. The only issue the Blackstone Wiki mentions is that the screen is slightly stretched to fit.

Why would you update that to Wiki when only one person has experienced this problem? Don't we need multiple people reporting an issue before you put it up in Wiki stone?
I will be receiving my copilot 7 today and will report how well it works on accuracy and compatability.
I provided the original information about the slight screen stretching and can confirm that aside from this very minor issue it works flawlessly on my HD. I noticed no offset (not an application issue anyway, as confirmed by the user reporting it) and no significant lag. Most of the time it was at most a car length or two behind my actual position and gave me no problems navigating
I think you have made a solid purchase - enjoy!

We already have two independent users reporting an issue of sorts with this title.
As someone reports an item I update the Wiki ~ just as when you provide your information this too will get added.
Correct me if I am wrong but what you are saying is if an individual reports a software title misbehaving I should ignore it and wait for another person to make a report.
This would not work:-
1. I don't have the time to check back through all previous other answers to see if someone has already reported a problem.
2. By placing it in the Wiki other users get to see the information immediately instead of having to wait goodness how long before another makes a report.

tested copilot 7 just a while ago and there is no positioning problem mentioned above. My position was always on spot with the road I was on. There was an acceptable a 1-2 second lag from my current position when passing a road. Just like it is in windows live search maps and the same on my Kaiser.
There was some streching of the screen a little to fit the HD's screen, but not bad at all.
I copied all the map info over to my 8GB microsd card.
I have added the comments utvol06 kindly gave to the Wiki.
This now gives us three independant comments.

I appreciate it.
I have a rather odd issue running Copilot 7, in that it seems to over-ride the system Power settings and keep the HD on indefinitely, even after Copilot has been closed. eg. I set the Touch HD to switch off the screen after 30s, and turn off after 1min, but if I run Copilot, whatever I do in the Device->Backlight settings, the screen will fade, but the device never switches off, even when the app's been closed. If I go back into the System Power settings and reset 30s/1min it's OK again. Any ideas? Please?
Co-Pilot 7 screen resolution fix
Within the software compatibility wiki there is a note to say there is a download to fix the screen res issue on HTC Touch HD.
I have just called ALK to ask about this, and there is, indeed, an update. However, they also warn that the Desktop app which runs on your PC will no longer work if the new fix is installed.
Madrilleno
I was wondering if anyone knows how to silve my problem with the copilot 7 icons . since i moved to HD
CoPilot 7 works flawlessley on my THD.
I didn't install the original version from the CD, I emailed ALK support and asked them for the THD compatibility version which I installed straight away. There is no resolution issues or 'stretching'. GPS fix is almost instant and I've never had any probs at all so far.
Good piece of software imo!

Hi
Would just like to confirm what Gulioth says.
I bought the retail version in December and it worked fine. I emailed Alk support last month to ask about the HD specific version and got a reply and a download link the same day. Seems to be a little quicker and the graphics are much nicer.
I've tried it with several ROM versions and it's worked great with the exception of a less stable WinMo 6.5 installation(I forget which tbh).
Would certainly repurchase at upgrade time and recommend product and service.
HTH.
CP7 Safety CAmera Updates
Glad to hear it pjfriend
Has anyone had any problems updating your speed camera database?
ALK's instructions don't work - i've downloaded latest update, unzipped and extracted and placed it in the CoPilot>EU>SAVE folder but I get no indication that it's doing the 'integrating update' part when CoPilot loads. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong...
I know in CP6 you had to delete all files beginning with AO* and place the extracted safetycam file in the Save folder but I can't see any AO* files in either SAVE folders.
Be interested to hear anyones thoughts on that!
What details info did ALK need from the 'normal' CP7 to change it to the HD version?
Thanks

Hi,
I have been using iGo 2006 Plus for a couple of weeks now and keep noticing a weird problem. Every now and again, at some point the screen orientation will go haywire, and the touchscreen will revert to the default (upside down landscape on athena) but the screen will stay the same. I.e. to click the bottom right of the screen I have to tap the top left part of the screen. Anyone else have this issue? It's very weird! At first I thought the device was freezing as I was pressing buttons and nothing was happening, but then I realised the touchscreen and the display had fallen out with each other!

Yep - I've had exactly the same problem - it usually happens when you 'minimise' i-Go to use your PPC and then try to 'maximise' again. The only way around it that I've found is to close i-Go to use PPC and then re-start it again.
Thanks for the reply, I'm gutted it isn't just me - was hoping I'd found a perfect TomTom 6 replacement! Oh well, it's still better than TT6. If anyone knows of a fix, please let us know!
Best replacement I've found is the new and improved 2007 re-packaged iGo software known as MioMap v3.2. Very similar GUI but much improved functionality wise over iGo and it has Speed camera software to boot as well as giving directions (voice guidance) with Miles as opposed to only giving Voice guidance in Kilometers option.
It's got everything iGo has and is built on its platform...it just works better and is far more stable IMHO. Still evaluating it and have no issues as yet. I too had experienced the fore mentioned issue of screen rotation in iGo My Way.
I'm glad I made the switch.
I agree miomap 3.2 seems more stable.
I havnt found a minimize option on it yet,but i only just installed and messed with a few options.

Wait till you take her out for a spin! This app really rocks!! Just wish the GUI was as crisp as on iGo, which truly looked VGA all the way, whereas MioMaps options menu looks more like stretched QVGA
But don't worry peeps, the maps and cockpit look every bit as good as iGo's.
I changed the skin for mio map and found the minimize button,and the UI has improved dramtically.
I used the quicksilver skin from a IGO/MIO fanpage.

Hi johnwalk. Don't know why the link is not working for you. I just tried the link via your quotation of my post and it works perfectly for me using Internet Explorer and Firefox on the PC.....
Just tried through PIE & Opera on the Ameo and no problem there either. Must be some settings in your browser.
sorry i didnt get back to you regarding the skin site(I was at work).
Ive just used mio to navigate home from work and it seems there are still some probs.
1: If I recieve a notification whilst using mio the notification appears in portrait and when i exit mio the screen stays in portrait.(I get the same prob when using igo with wisbar advance active)
2: The gps position on screen cannot keep up even at 30mph.
3: It occasionally doesnt show me the correct position on the map.
4: It occasionally loses gps for a few seconds.
Mackaby! Did you check out the few tweaks they have for the sys.txt on that blogger.xs4all site?
Fair observations of MioMaps shortcomings, but....

Hi again. Yes I've experienced all of the same things you described, but am not majorly put off by it.
To be honest I don't want to read any txt whilst driving, but you make some fair points. As for the occasional loss of signal, I had these issues with TomTom 5 & 6, but not often, but when it happened with TomTom, it really screwed me up. With iGo & MioMap signal re-acquisition is far quicker and hasn't caused me any major gripes as yet, but it is early days.
Yeah I did a few alterations to the sys.txt as instructed, but only to reveal 1 way streets. I didn't want to make too many changes all at once without seeing the initial ones.
Great site though. Thanks.
To be honest, I'm looking forward to the new version of iGo in all its glorious 3D rendering of streets and buildings.
P.S. 2: The gps position on screen cannot keep up even at 30mph. I haven't experienced this yet.
Anyone managed to get VsNotepad 2.5 to work properly on Touch HD?
http://www.virtualspaghetti.com/index.php?index=30&language=en
When I run the demo on my TouchHD the stylus position and what I draw are not aligned? (Approx 1/4 of the screen width and height out)
Software does say its 480x800 compatible, even mentions the Touch HD. (I've run the setup and put the settings to forced, but I still get the aligment issue.) Reported it to the creators, but wondered if Im alone in this issue?

Happy it works now....however, I want a WVGA version now!!!!
One step at a time I guess!!
Has someone else noticed a dramaticly system slowdown after starting VsNotepad? Ending the program doesn´t solve the problem, only softreset does. You can notice the slowdown in TF3D or better in coreplay, which even stopps working.
If you have the same problem, is there a really gote alternative for VsNotepad?
Just to notice:
Softreset isn´t demanded if you close the app. in the app and not via taskmanager. That way I can live with the slowdown when the app is running.

Really no more lag ?
Anybody knows, where can we can find this version ?
Thanks for this news man.
I just checked TomTom Home => but there are no updates for me.
I have Version7.910(9185) installed.
btw: I hope you know what GPS Lag means.
You make 90 degree Curve and on the Display it shows up in 2-3 sec.
Is it possible to have a cruise-ripped version of this build? Or is it warez related? :?
I'm using 7.910(9185) with almost zero lag. My true position is reflected by the tip of the arrow, not the centre but map response on tight corners is perfectly adequate for navigation and almost as good as the Navteq system fitted to my car.
what number/versions of maps do work with tomtom7.915.916?
Could you please share? If it's still a free soft.
Thats the Problem - your GPS position in TomTum shuld NOT be the top of the Arrow.
And be honest, how accurate is it in a curve or a Roundabout.
I use my Diamond while driving with an external bluetooth mouse and it is 5m accurate an zero lag.
The Problem is imho not the Software but the way qualcomm is pre-processing the NMEA Data.
Same experience for me
No more lags, fast fix. Before; I sometimes had to wait 20 min for a fix. Now 1-2 min. Must say I updated rom (_NLD_2.03.) and TomTom together.
here is a RS link for the new tomtom
MOD EDIT: No warez
Jut cant figure out how to install to internal memory. Link Include QVGA and VGA
for sure i know what a lag is, i use a smartphone since tomtom 5 on my first qtek...and diamnod is my 11th smartphone so if i say i have a lag i assume to know what i say
i also never post a link because of respect of rules in xda-dev ! google is the friends of all of us for testing purpose only
but i thought it was a good information to share because i really have no lags with this version and my diamond, where i am with my car is correct with the tomtom from NOW
maybe it could be the same for you, for me it's ok i can say
I'm using version 7.450.9028.
How can I upgrade to the lastest version?
Thanks
Installed on HD, the lag is minor than other versions, but still exists
Works great

Did you have to reactivate your maps?
nothing about it just install and it's ok
Surely there must always be a lag of some size or other, otherwise Tomtom will have to predict where you are going? And I presume the lag time must increase with speed, as the processing time must be standard no matter how fast you are going?
Anyway I've been using version 7.450.9028 with 720.1802 maps for some time, and, on a straight road my car is more or less at the point of the arrow at 70mph, so I will try this new version and see how much better it is
yes sure you are right, but i can say than with some pna of my friends tested yesterday (one tomtom 920, one garmin) the diamond and this tomtom is the same, it's a normal software for gps now and no frustrations anymore.
What this version seems to never do :
the coffee
predict where you will be one minutes after in the future
br
Correct size of POI:s Icons
Hi!
First of all, TomTom for Diamond has been concidered NOT to be warez in the past. Why the change?
Second, in the 7.915.916 at last tha POI iocns does show up in the "normal" size as in the QVGA versions. Big thanks TomTom!
Third, I also wanted an installation on the interna storage. But since there was'nt any way to change during the installation, I simply moved all the files and maps, besides CurrenMap and UserPatch in Program/Navigator to the internal memory and created a Program/Navigator folder. Works nice, just the icon under programs now is wrongly linked and needs to be changed.
Hi I have an issue with Copilot 8 and havent managed to find a thread in here that mentions the issue I have.
I have the following versions
OS 5.2.21869
Manilla 2.5.19211619.0
ROM 1.48.405.2 WWE
Radio 2.05.51.05_2
I replaced the original 2GB SD card with an 8GB, and used the 2gb card in my daughters Nintendo DS, blatting everything on it.
Now I fancy trying Copilot, and whilst I can run the app, I cannot download any maps as it thinks I am in Africa (or only have permission to download those maps).
This is the same for Copilot Central and on the device, if i try to download anything else it just says "Error downloading files", for the African one it gives me a second screen asking me to confirm.
Am I missing something here? Or is it because I deleted the "trial" version maps on my SD card?
I have 15 days left on the trial to fix this :-S
Hope someone has had the same issue??

Agreed. However I bought CP7 early last year (I think) and it cost me nearly £60! I wrote to them recently asking if I could transfer my licence across rather than pay £26 for a new package when CP7 is perfecly adequate and they refused.
Fair do's I suppose, as they have got to make some money somewhere but disappointed nevertheless. The "get in lane" improvements in CP8 are worth it as I use this system in my car. However seeing that I have not yet had the full benefit out of the package I paid for last year I can't justify the extra expense and then have a whole package lying around doing nothing.
Shame.
WB
I think they are getting confused somewhere!
There is absolutely nothing to prevent you cancelling the license on one device then reactivating it on another one. The only thing they won't do, and this maybe where the confusion arose, is to transfer a license between platforms (WM -> Apple/Andoid and vice versa)
If you still have CPL on the original device, you can go into the Licensing screen and select to deactivate it. This needs an internet connection. Once deactivated, install the program on the new device and go through the online activation. If that doesn't work, complain again to ALK. There is no compulsion to upgrade to relicense the program.
Had the same issue with my trial. CoPilot sent me this link and it says just to copy the copilot folder to the memory card.

That's funny. My CoPilot Central 2.0 thinks I'm in Africa, too. When I used the KML-export function of my GPS-Tracks, that I had no use for, the only coordinates the KML-file contained were two hundred miles off the coast of Ghana in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

That's latitude: 0, longitude: 0. I.e, no data.

Had the same issue with my trial. CoPilot sent me this link and it says just to copy the copilot folder to the memory card.

Thats the link that got mine working, I still had the ROM version loaded on my HD2.
Now I can see what the product is like, the screenshots look pretty nice. Ive got an inbuilt satnav in the car, but for £26 I'd be tempted to get this as a walking aid.

Same here, I have factory fitted satnav in the car but I got co-pilot after the trial ended, as you say if you just use it as a walking aid, you can't go wrong for £26.

I think they are getting confused somewhere!
There is absolutely nothing to prevent you cancelling the license on one device then reactivating it on another one.

Neil,
Thanks for the heads up. To be honest ALK make a great product but their Customer Service is diabolical. Rather than spend hours exchanging increasingly meaningless messages with them in that fixed format template format they are so fond of using which is so irritating and tells you absolutely nothing, I simply ditched all the CP8 folders on my device (bar the rom files which I can't move) and installed my paid for CP7.
Saves a whole load of hassle, from my perspective, and it works just fine.

Right anyone got any idea how to make the poxy Copilot Central software think i am in Europe? That still insists i am in Africa.... lord above, one step forward, two steps back and all that!!

Long shot but if you are trying to access CP Central from a PC, why don't you set-up a proxy server or use some other method to "hide" your IP address which might help solve the problem?
I have never done this for this purpose so it's unusual for me to recommend an action I have not tried myself; however if no one else has a better answer and you can't get CP Support to help then might be worth a go?

Got to be worth a try, so i will give it a go.
My mate has the same issue, so its not just me
Let us know how you get on. If it works then this would be a useful tip for others. If it doesn't then they don't have to waste their time on this.

No joy
I have raised the question with the support team, will update post in a month when they reply!! Although to be fair they came back within 2 hours on the Africa thing on the HD2 with the link to the software.

Don't bother with the Copilot support "contact form". It's totally useless, and they'll probably never reply. Instead send a "tweet" to http://twitter.com/copilotsupport/ or http://twitter.com/copilotlive/. That usually gets an answer within 24 hours.
Hi All,
I currently have a Touch HD and have been wondering about upgrading to a HD2. So I went into my local phone shop and asked if I could play with one. Everything was going well until I opened Opera and went to the website www.tvguide.co.uk (which I use a lot). It looked great but it would take me about 5 attempts to hit any of the links on the screen unless I zoomed them to be far larger than I wanted them to be.
Just to be sure this wasn't a problem with the particular handset I had I went to another store and tried another device. Got exactly the same problem. I have no such problems on my HD.
I have heard rumours that the capacitive screens are not as accurate as resistive ones but my experience was far worse than I was expecting.
Has anyone else experienced issues with accuracy of link tapping in Opera ?

There's a setting (in opera's config) that determines the minimum zoom level for links to work at. It was probably just that. The same was on the HD, so you'd at least have to double-tap before you could hit a link, but apps such as HDTweak could change that, so you didn't have to zoom.
Was it maybe that?
Also, when you've got your hands on one of these, you can do a screen align so that the device gets used to how you touch the screen, rather than some generic "lots of people press it like this" kind of setting.
Just a couple of thoughts that could explain your problems.
Browsing on the HD2 currently leaves a lot to be desired, or certainly in comparison to Safari on the iPhone and iPod Touch which is what I was using previously and is the benchmark other mobile devices have to live up to. However, that can and hopefully will be rectified as the available browsers are updated and made better.
The bundled version of Opera, despite supporting multi-touch, just doesn't seem fluid enough to me and, as mentioned in this thread, selecting links without zooming can be a serious pain in the arse even with the hacks and options set up to make it easier.
i thought that initially but then realised that i was trying to be too precise and maybe aiming a little off it.
now i just hit the link area with my big thumb and it seems to figure to click the link directly in the middle of where i pressed.
for example browsing this forum i find no problems at all with trying to click a page number
I dont think pressing the link was really much of a problem to me. If you double tap once and still can't hit the link, just hold down on the link for like half a second and it'll click through.
OK, thanks for the tips guys. I don't think it was the minimum zoom feature because at a fixed zoom level it would eventually recognize the tap after maybe 5 or 6 attempts.
However, I will try to get hold of another one, reset the minimum zoom, recalibrate the screen and then try pressing and holding with my thumb and see how I get on.
Cheers,
David
I have problems hitting links and scrolling through a combo box. When I try to scroll through the contents of a combo box with more than 20 entries, the whole page scrolls up and down...
There is a simple registry tweak in the sticky thread "hints and tips" that allows you to click links easily without zooming. I've found that it works very well, and I can click the very smallest of links. The only site I've found that doesn't work so well is this one for some reason
In the hints and tips thread it advises you to change the threshold to thirty something I think. I found this still didn't rectify this issue, so I cahnged it to "2" and it works brilliantly

How do you perform the screen align?
