iGO8 it's an excellent application for this phone. You might find it little bit hard to install but once done is great.
Nice! I'm going to try it out!! Thanks for your time

Eh how'd you get TomTOm working? Could you guide me please? Mine says "Not compatible with device"......
Hi there, finally iv'e had some time to engage in installing IGO8 on my Mega. The installation went fine and everything seems ok, except for that I havn't actually tried it outside yet....
I do have one problem though and maybe someone of you helpful chaps can assist me The problem is that there isn't any shortcut in programs to the app so I can put it in the programs tab.
Only way to start it is to go into the installation folder and click the .exe file
Adam
Hmmm update:
All I needed to do is to restart the phone However the program doesn't start as it should... I still need to go in the file manager to manually click the .exe file. I think that the shortcut from the "program tab" is pointing to the wrong file. If that would be the problem do anyone here know how to redirect it to the right place?? :0
Adam
Well I switched to tomtom 7 and it worked great and is really easy to use!! I strongly recommend tomtom7!!
Cheers
Adam
iGo 8
I am using iGo 8 on my MEGA and working perfect.I am 100 percent satisfied.

Open iGO folder and search for iGO.exe -> menu -> edit -> copy
Open \Windows\StartMenu\Programs -> menu -> edit -> paste shortcut
Delete the old shortcut and rename the new one to iGo.
I have been using both tomtom and ndrive. Both have very detailed maps that never let me down though i find myself using ndrive more because i like the way their poi database is structured. Each poi gives you very detailed information and most even include a reference photo.
Hi, I have already used Sygic Mobile Maps 2009, and I think that its the best navi for this device.
I use Garmin and MapKing.

great find! i was hoping this would show up when i first saw the video. I got it loaded and it's pretty nice to work with. One question so far....where is the comm manager located on the 8525. Im trying to find the path so i can link the settings button to it but i cannot find it. Thanks!
Edit: This is a little bigger issue for me, my clock on the device it self it correct but in the iphone launcher app it is 4 hours ahead. How and hell do i fix this? Any help is appreciated

I do not know how to do that, but I managed to map hardware button to slide.exe. To do that you have to create a link to it (for example to programs folder). Then you can map this link via Settings >> Buttons. Only issue I am having is that the time is lagging two hours on Slider screen.

Just a guess - I don't have the application installed and haven't had that program but your phone has to clock settings Home -> Visting. Maybe your phone is accidentally set to Visiting clock and the home clock is off by a bit and the applications are pulling the time from the Home clock? It's a shot in the dark guess but worth a shot!
Well

Thanks for the reply that was actually the first thing that i checked when i noticed the problem
Clock Off
Best guess I can give is that the time isn't being adjusted for time zone. Mine is 5 hours ahead and I am in US Central time zone (GMT -6) so it is close to Greenwich mean time.
I would try to fix this myself since the source is provided but I need a developers kit and a compiler...
Edited:
Actually if I remember correctly (big IF) daylight savings time is a US thing so with DST right now that would put the offset right at GMT.
anybody figure out how to fix the timing issue
Hi there,
got a prob with QuickGPS and TomTom.
First TomTom says "no gps device" (or something like that - I use the german one). Tried everything, without success.
Then I tried to update QuickGPS. Download starts, but "crashes" before reaching 100%. Tried a lot, even via ActiveSync etc etc.
So I tried some QuickGPS Cab File from somewhere on the web. Installed it, tried to start it, without success, as it is not signatured digitally.
So deinstallation of this version, and now even the old one is lost.
My question:
1. Can anyone supply me with the official QuickGPS CAB of the latest official ROM (2.32...)
2. Can anyone supply me with the certain reg-info?
Thx in advance! About to face a hard reset - but not willing to...
I would advice you just to redo the last firmware.
You will be getting your Quickgps back.
There might be someone on here with a better idea, but most likelly you will be ending up with hard resetting anyway.
Doing it right now. Somehow this problem seems to be a pretty common one, but noone in all those forums ever placed a working solution. Bad luck, as I have had a lot of tools setup pretty well... But hey, thats windows!
What version of TomTom do you have? If tomtom says no device then you have to check your port(4) and baud(4800) settings and make sure you use the internal gps.
I had the same problem but
Mine is a HTC clone... I had the same problmes .
Quick GPS does not work at all at the clone, since they use another gps
( Hardware). But i got tom tom running using in the configuration the Bluetooth device on com port 3 , with 9600 .
There was a alternative Software for quick GPS, but, i am sorry, i forgot the name. Google may help.
i have a same problem.i have tried many way to download quick gps but i couldnt

Hi is there a better weather that can run from the touch flo buttons. With the default one i cant get a town near to me the nearest is 10 miles away, so the weather is out.
Thanks
as a newb to WM i had tha same problem, but after a few questions on here and some help from
Hamz22 and jamie walsh i got it sorted, big thanks to them and i hope this helps other newbs like me
so for all those newbs here is how you change the weather location to places not listed in the default program on the TP2
1.Download and instal total commander http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.cab
, also instal net framework 3.5
2.once installed open TC up and look in the phones windows directroy for this file 2330fc3c_manila
3. when you find it using TC copy it to the stoagr card on your phone
a box will come up and the location wiil be \\windows**, to save it stoagecard change the location to \Storage card and then click copy
4. still in TC go to the storage card and find the file , open the file details in TC its the right hand side button on the top row of commands, and uncheck the read only box
5.now using TC copy this file back to its original windows directory on the phone.
6. download the weather location app and install on the phone version 1.20 is needed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=120460&d=1223638121
using this you can now add towns and cities
to get the Accu view weather location for your area if in the uk go here
http://www.accuweather.com/world-in...ather&traveler=0&loccode=EUR|UK|UK108|Chorley
as you can see this location is for chorley so the accu code for that is EUR|UK|UK108|Chorley
once you have added a new town etc you need to do a soft reset for to be able to use it
just to add heres some fun codes to add
Death valley 92328(for america it uses the zip code)
south pole ANT|AQ|AQ---|SOUTH+POLE
cool cheers I found this but could not find the xml file so hopefully will be bale to use your method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368282&page=11
i get an error telling me i need a newer version of the .net framework.
sorry you need to have 3.5 net framework installed a search on here will find it
Cheers . Got it too work . Impressed i actucally found my village on the place list in accuweather.
just confirming this worked like a charm
Sorry guys didn't work for me... 1.2 is saying "file write protection of database couldn't removed"... tried 1.1 modified.... but touch flo restarts every time... i click on it( i checked that read only is unchecked in windows folder for that file...
OK...I figured it out... some of the steps..are other way around for me...somehow...
1) before installing Weather Editor 1.2 - go to windows folder find the file "2330fc3c_manila" - I used Resco explorer 7.05 to go to properties of file to uncheck "read only" (note that if u press once the check wont disappear..it will become transparent - double click makes it disappear completely) - then confirm changes to the system by pressing yes in the appeared window....
2) install weather editor 1.2, launch it go to find the country u need.... press edit to click cities...and add your city with accu code
3) restart your phone
4) go to weather pad in touch flo and add your city
work for me...however u can't delete the weather editor after it... it deletes the file and substitutes it with original one...
now another problem: clock... I found my city there... and now it confuses the time zone... London time should be the same with Durham... but it says its different...that is why it causes other clock to be different if u just simply change it to real time... is there any way to force it to correctly identify time zone?

Sweet, awesomeness weather app, now in a town near me! w00t. Cheers for the info dude.
Just confirming that it worked for me also.
Thanks-a-mil - great work.
It works fine for the weather tab, but unfortunately if I set my location in the clock to to the same place it is 13 hours behind!
I've checked the entry from accuweather which is EUR|UK|UK199|Redcar and it all seems fine
Very confusing
same problem for me - I reportede it in several threads - no reply yet
Brilliant! Thank you! My local time is set right but everywhere else in the UK is 13 hours ahead! Oh well! At least I know what time it is where I am.
I edited on PC 2330fc3c_manila.dll file from Windows folder on PPC, edited it with SQLite Administrator
HTML:
http://sqliteadmin.orbmu2k.de/
just check last fields (timezone and msid) in cities section for your town and copy them from nearest one to your town (geographically)

Ok I've finally taken the plunge and just received my new HD2 from T-Mobile. Everthing works ok and even to a cynic like myself it is one impressive machine but with one issue. I can't install TomTom 7.
As soon as it tries to auto config it displays the message:
"Your device is not compatible with this version of TomTom NAVIGATOR!"
(Their message - not my typing...)
Any ideas? It worked ok my Touch HD running a 6.5 ROM from Miri and I've noticed others appear to have it working. The HD2 is running OS version 21864.5.0.81, ROM version 1.43.110.2 WWE and radio is 2.04.50.22_2 if that helps.
Any assistance greatly appreciated of course!
Is true!
If you go in tomtom device compatible web page you see that HD2 isn't copatible, I have sent an email ant tomtom said me that you must see this page when change you can download a new version compatible.
P.S: There is a version that work with Hd2 but you must delte 2 dll and in tomtomhome hd2 is not recognize
While it is true that Version 7 isn't supported, it dose still work well with a couple of exceptions.
1. It can be done by transfering the CAB file to the device and then installing it manualy, but not through the ActiveSync installer.
2. The version I had for my Orbit2 KILLED the bluetooth on the HD2. It's a fairly easy thing to rectify, just need to delete the file \Windows\BtSdkCE30.dll and then Reset the HD2, but it caused a few headaches.
3. I've read that some people reccomend the 7.91 version of tom tom, but that version 7.45 works well also.

Actually just found that link as you posted. I've managed to get it installed but now it's asking for my map activation code which at the moment I can't find in my filing system....
Thanks for the help/link anyway!
I have Tomtom 7 working try doing a search for TomTom_Navigator_7.916.9189_VGA.
Tony, had the same problem, it's possible to get the software installed using a cab file but then you can't activate your purchased map files without hooking the device up to TomTom Home.
It's sadly a case of waiting for TomTom to officially support the HD2 at which point an update for TomTom Home should allow us to connect and install.
I tried emailing them again today for an update but they just said keep watching -> http://www.tomtom.com/products/section.php?ID=898&Section=709&Lid=1&Category=2
Im using ttn7.915.9196.vga_black.cab which is working fine for me on mine.
Currently using 7.916-9189 vga-black.cab with ukroi 835-2421
had to rename the 2 bt.dll's by adding old to the end of them using resco file explorer and then used BsB Tweaks to get it to auto rotate..
some dudes report issues with the radio using this method but as I dont use headphones (only bluetooth) I haven't even checked to see if the radio works. Now researching/downloading other sat nav applications and waiting for my 16gb card to come so I can try some others out...rapidly running out of room on the stock 2gb card
@EssexboyRacer.
Are you able to connect to TomTom Home?
If not, how did you activate your map file(s) please?

first post in this forum to ask for cracked software....
add a program like IGO ect... to the quick links on the today screen IGO is on the SDcard
i did try to search but i found jack didley poo
Have you looked at page 75 of the user manual?
WB
i would but its in another language
Ah ok. Look here..http://www.htc.com/www/userguide.aspx?p_id=297
WB
thank you
No worries; glad to have helped.
WB
sorry i think you miss read my post but i want to add IGO in to quick links but i cant find in on the list..... how do i add it?
Install Total Commander and look for the iGO exe from your SD card and create a shortcut to your windows program page. From there, you can go to quick link > programs...and it should be there.
sorry im such a noob! but were do i put the shortcut?
Hi again,
I don't know anything about IGO but if you are saying that when you click and hold a quicklink, then select program to add, and you can't find Igo on the list then do what Lude 219 is suggesting.
What he is saying is:
- Install a tool called Total Commander
- Use total commander to view the files on your device
- Navigate to your Windows folder and scroll down until you find the Igo exe file (probably called igo.exe)
- Copy this file and paste it into your \Start Menu\Programs folder
- Quit out of Total Commander and go to your front screen
- Click on the Quickling again, scroll down the list and you should see the Igo file that you copied int there earlier
- Select that file
- Job done.
Hope this helps
