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!

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

TomTom 7
Where could you buy TomTom 7? I have Navigator 6 installed and can't find a way to buy Nav 7.
ok great thx, for all this aswers
could you please make screenshots of your navigation software?
how does it look on a 800x480 screen? resized, black bar, skewed, small icons.. ?
thanks.
There will be a Co-Pilot specific version coming out - http://blog.copilotlive.net/?p=208
I presume v7 works fine, but just doesn't make the most of the resolution.
Guys,
If you have a Navigation program 'successfully' working on your machine could you post it at the topic 'Programs/Utilites & Games ~ working on the Touch HD' here~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442663
Thanks.

How did you get the software up and running?
Whenever I try to start the program (installation works fine), it crashes after the starting screen saying the specific resolution can't be loaded/found.
Have you changed the sys.txt in any way?
Where did you get you version from.
Did you try the skin supporting 800x480 resolution?

TomTom Navigator 6 working on HD
Is it possible that someone can check if TomTom 6 Navigator is working on Touch HD because i want to use this application that i already have.
It wil make my choice very easy then!
Thanks
Why would HTC make a phone that, on the face of it, seems to have a lot of programs that just won't work, particularly my (ancient) TomTom6. And what about TCMP ? How would I run my videos ? I'm after one as well, but am now a little nervous that it may be false economy.
i cant get TomTom 6 to work. could be something that i am doing, anyone else having this problem?

Me too. I got my Touch HD this morning and tomtom 6 won't even start up. I think part of it is because of the screen resolution of the Touch HD
Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.20wp works fine (have only tried SA March 2008 mapset). So far no obvious problems experienced though I have not extensively tested everything.
I also loaded MobiTrak's HandyMAP Pro PPC V5.2 (Build 1129) with SA and USA maps. The program Handymap2.exe fails when switching maps, and once a map is opened it won't open again (file not found error). A soft reset does not fix this problem.
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.

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.

Anyone know if the TTN7.910.9185.cab will work on out Titans? I'm a little leery about installing it as I've got the prior version working well and don't want to bork anything by trying the install.
Grabbed the file from here:
http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=13032
Remember, this file is legit as provided in ROM with the TP but posting / talking about maps or voices is warez so isn't kosher!
Thanks in advance if anyone is willing to give it a go!
This version is made for another device and tells you so when trying to install on a Mogul. prior tt7 install otherwise intact.
Thanks for trying... Oh well. I wanted to upgrade my maps by BUYING (not cracking) the newest ones but on some other forums they mentioned a problem with the build I'm using (using 7.450 (9029) build with 720.1803 USA and Canada maps) not allowing the latest maps to be used.
If anyone knows for sure how to purchase the latest maps for this build (like what TomTom Home to use and what maps to purchace) I'd greatly appreciate it.

here is the link you need to buy the maps to run on this tt7 cab
ps....that cab is for the touch diamond.
http://www.tomtom.com/products/maps/select.php?D=1038&Language=1&P=5703
Thanks as well Liamhere. Unfortunately I need the USA and Canada maps and the link only give UK / Europe / Asia maps.
I have TT Home 1.5 installed and it does give me an option of purchasing the latest maps for the USA. I'm a bit afraid of committing the $70 on purchasing the map as one or two threads talk about needing to upgrade to the latest TT home (2.5 I think) as when I install that version, it doesn't find my Titan.
Does anyone know if the 1.5 version of TT Home will install the latest USA and Canada maps to the Titan if I purchase them?
works for me
7.910 runs fine on my mogul - am using the USA_CANADA 815.2022 map with it.
I know it was developed for the Diamond so my cab version may have been modified to work on non-Diamond. I don't use TTS but the voice does prompt me at turns.

From what I understand, no. Only Navigator 7 and 8 maps will work with the Diamond cab for the mogul.

Update: Found the cab (google is your friend), installed, ran fine, but TomTom Home 2.5 still can't see my XV6800 meaning I can't legally buy new maps. I even tried TT Home 1.5 and while it could see my poi's it couldn't see my maps or my device (but it did tell me I had a Titan attached, how odd). So......
Unless someone knows how to get TomTom Home 2.5 to see our Moguls, this is a fools errand if you want to stay legal.
/rant
If TomTom wants to stop rampant piracy, they should release Navigator 7/8 for PPC w/o crippling TT Home by locking out all but a few HTC devices!
Oh, please don't ask where I got the cab or files as it will break the TOS of this forum and ultimate goal was to stay legal!
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.

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.
