Is possible to customize the buttons function of navipanel, to point to another application for navigation?
Or to change the application that popup on carkit mode to another than navipanel?
Don't know an answer to your question yet, but i have problems using the navipanel button to start my TomTom. It locks up TomTom many times.
TomTom does work ok if I start it only using the hardware button above the green horn hardware button.
Anny suggestions how to fix / update the navipanel software?
Same question to launch Igo8 directly from the Navipanel, but also to link it to footprint.
Good to have our own forum
Let see from this topic and for tomtom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3359078&postcount=5786
use Reg Editor
1. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\NaviSW and add new string value
Value name: MiddleLayerDLL
Value data: NaviSWMiddle_TomTom.dll
2. Put a file "NaviSWMiddle_TomTom.dll" in the Windows folder. The file should be available somewhere in the forum (EDIT : for 4 navigators, see next post, they are already in the windows folder).
3. Soft Reset
I haven't tried myself. Hope this willl help.
Kind of the same question : how do we change the bottom left button of the iolite so it can launch another GPS software ?
And how this help to change the navigation software? I already have this key in registry.
But how to edit to run another navigation program, other than tomtom(igo, miomap,destinator...)?
EDIT:
In windows dir there are 4 different NaviSWMiddle.dll, for TomTom, Papago, Navitel andCoPilot. So I think
that we must find a dll for the navigation program that we want to run instead and change the registry key to
that. The problem is that neather of the existing dlls is for programs that I want to use. So how can we make this dlls?
We have lost time with this.
Nothing of this solve any problem in this thread.
Please don't post anything if this don't solve anything.
Our forum maybe one day will be great, but meanwhile.......
so anyone have the answer fo this ?, seems that this issue have been idle for quite a while now

You can have Garmin Maps on Navitel !
Download Navitel cab from www.gpsmoldova.com/navitel/indexen.html
then add Garmin Maps
You need first to fix NavPanel i setting to recognize NaviTel ....
Cheers
bmomail, You mis understand
I want to use NaviPanel with Garmin XT. but program default are papago x3
ิbut you told "Navitel Navigator" it another program
Add Garmin
My friend
1-Install Garmin
2- go to Reg editor
do this :
Value name: MiddleLayerDLL
Value data: NaviSWMiddle
3- Soft Rest
4- go to setting - Personal - Buttons - Choose (Button 2) option and add google map or Garmin
Hey folks!
If I start NaviPanel and press the lower right button "navigation" - then the wrong version of TomTom starts (looks like ver. 6). It tells me "no cards found" and ends.
I have TomTom 7 installed and it works great, if I start it via the Windows start menue.
Also if I start the tomtom.exe directly from the explorer, TomTom 7 also works as expected.
But how can I tell the NaviPanel to start the right TomTom.exe?

Woko
[EDIT]:
The NaviPanel is controlled by the "NaviSWMiddle_TomTom.dll". Maybe there is an new version of it for TomTom 7?
My is created 22. january 2009 and has a size of 56,9 KB. There is no version info contained in the dll (yes - who needs version infos.... :-/ )
How Can I Choose (Button 2 ) I'm not see it.
Thank

I can't see it as well although I did exactly every described steps. I have HTC Iolite and originally there was installed TomTom. Now I have installed IGO 8 and want to assign it to low right button. Any Idea?

go to Start --> Settings --> Buttons (I assume, because I have a Dutch version). then select the button (nr. 1 I guess), in the dropdown menu under in the tab page, select the software you want to assign to this button.
I hope that this will help.
What i did
I got it to launch Garmin, have not had time to dig deeper to get it to launch the other apps directly within Navipanel. Try the below...

I join to this question. Who has original NaviSWMiddle_TomTom.dll and can post it here?
NaviSWMiddle_TomTom.dll
Hi guys,
The file "NaviSWMiddle_TomTom.dll" is located in the Windows directory, but its hidden, you can't see it. If you install "Total Commandor" then you can brouws the Windows dir and check it. Anyway, there is no need to do this. But if you really need the file then be my guest, I attached it here.
In order to have both TTS and Contact POI's working in iGO8 you're going to need two different versions of iGO8.
FIRST VERSION NEEDED: iGO8 v8.32.64029 (Nov 7 2008)
This version is designed for the PDA, and as such is able to geocode contact information. Install this version with the attached 64029sys.txt
At this point if everything is done correctly, iGO8 should boot normally BUT be VERY slow and unresponsive. This is GOOD! This is iGO8 Geocoding your contacts. Depending on the quantity of contacts with addresses you have, this could take a VERY long time. When it is done you will get a message similar to the following:
Geocoding finished with errors. 38 of 110 addresses found, 72 failed. Do you want to see the details?
At this point you could see the details of the errors, which will show you all of the addresses that are not entered into Outlook in a iGO8 palatable way. You could just ignore them and be happy with what you have (unlikely), or go back into Outlook, correct the formatting errors, and try again (and continue your suffering).
This can be VERY tedious... iGO is one picky bastard. You might even have to input the addresses into iGO as destinations, see how iGO formats the addresses, and then change the Outlook contacts to match the format iGO uses for a particular address.
I have even heard that contact need to be deleted and reentered into Outlook in the proper iGO8 fashion or you will continue to get errors for particular contacts.
SYNTAX ADVICE:
not Blvd. --> Blvd (The little "." will throw an error every time)
not Blvd --> Boulevard ("Usually" iGO dislikes abbreviations)
not N. --> N --> North (This is hit or miss)
NEVER use apt# (just give up and don't try)
NO Suite # (same as above)
If you have to have apt or suite #'s AND you want iGO to geocode, then the only way to get it both ways is to use the "OTHER" address in Outlook to place the iGO friendly address and the correct address in the "Business" or "Home" Outlook address. The ones with apt or suite # will error, but the second addresses in the "Other" address without the apt or suite # will geocode as POI's fine.
When you are done, you will be left with this little piece of GOLD... YOUR CONTACT POI's FILE ! ! !
\iGO8\save\gccache.dat
You'll want to back this file up somewhere else for safe keeping. We don't want all this hard work to go to waste.
SECOND VERSION NEEDED: iGO8_v8.3.4.102680 (Aug 13 2009)
This is the newest PNA version that does not have the ability to geopcode contact POI's, but it is able to read the gccache.dat file created by the PDA version above AND it is capable of TTS. Install this version with the attached 102680sys.txt
You will need to install this version and simply place the gccache.dat into the iGO/save folder and iGO will do the rest for you.
Now getting iGO8 to reliably run TTS is a different story. TTS requires ALOT of RAM to run. If there is not enough RAM available (~115-120mb), then it will simply refuse to play TTS voice prompts and you will be stuck with standard voice prompts. To free up a good chunk of the necessary RAM install both NOPushInternet_v2.cab and SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource Proxy.cab. To get the rest your available RAM to acceptable levels you will need to disable TF3D, run CleanRAM, and then start iGO.
Sounds complicated? Well, fortunately itsachirpthing over at PPCGeeks has created a nice little script that does just this. The original post can be found HERE. And the original thread can be found HERE. I recommend reading both these original threads. They have additional information to get iGO8 working properly on TP2.
itsachirpthing @ PPCGeeks said:
I have a custom mort script that will turn off TF3D, run CleanRam (I have custom process enabled to exit Opera and Tmail within CleanRam), then run Igo8. Once you are finished with Igo and you exit, TF3D will restart. This took some testing, but this works everytime with the high quality TTS voices. I have had no issues. I have posted the code below, this will work on your device providing that you install CleanRam to your "device" and your IGo program is listed as "\storage card\iGO8\igo8.exe". These HQ TTS voice issues baffled me for months, but now they work consistently without a soft reset.
Again this code will stop TF3D, Run CleanRam, Start Igo... then when you exit iGo it will restart TF3D.
manilastate=ProcExists("manila.exe")
If (manilastate)
Kill("biotouch.exe")
RegWriteDword ("HKLM","Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\TouchFLO 3D","Enabled",0)
RedrawToday
endif
RunWait("\program files\htcaddicts cleanram\htcaddicts_cleanram.exe")
RunWait("\storage card\iGO8\igo8.exe")
Sleep(5000)
Kill("Repllog.exe")
While ( ProcExists("igo8.exe") )
IdleTimerReset
Sleep(500)
EndWhile
If (manilastate)
RegWriteDword ("HKLM","Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\TouchFLO 3D","Enabled",1)
RedrawToday
Run("\windows\biotouch.exe")
endif
I have attached the script to run with mort script. I hope others can benfit as well. Good luck and enjoy!

I have added this iGO script to the MortScript.cab posted here. You need it and CleanRAM.cab. Install both to the device, not the SD Card. Then just click on the Plain iGO Scipt icon in the Start Menu. The script will close TF3D, run CleanRAm, start iGO8, and when iGO8 is exited, it will start TF3D again
Inaddition to the above Script, you will need to install both NOPushInternet_v2.cab AND SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource Proxy.cab
in order to free up enough RAM. But with the above script, CleanRAM, and these two cabs, you should have enough RAM to run TTS of TP2. These CAB's are attached.
The sys.txt files attached are what works for my ATT TP2. It took many hours to find the correct setting for each iGO8 version and I am providing them to make your process easier. If they don't work or you get some other error for what ever reason... I AM PROVIDING NO TECH SUPPORT. This is simply information for your use.
Good Luck!
PS. This works best if you have two micro SD cards. One for each version of iGO. That way if you add new contact address, you can simply pop out one card, geocode the data, and transfer the new gccache.dat file to the other card.
PPS. Once you do get everything working in iGO 8 properly.... DO NOT MESS WITH ANYTHING ANYMORE!!! iGO8 is one finicky bastard and will throw a TTS temper tantrum (refuse to load TTS) if you do... I know ALL TOO WELL!
DONT ASK ME FOR COPIES OR WHERE TO GET THE ABOVE PROGRAMS....
BUY THEM or USE SOME CREATIVITY.... like GOOGLE!
Hi:
Thanks for the great info. I have a few questions. The Mortscript seems to run clean RAM, and disable TF3D, but then TF3D starts back up on its own. Is this normal?
Also, is the script supposed to also start iGo, or must this be done manually; script did not start iGo for me.
Thanks again!!
The script is as written above. If the location of iGO8.exe is not where the script is pointed you 'll have issues.
RunWait("\storage card\iGO8\igo8.exe")
If you do not have a iGO8.exe in the above folder, you'll need to just make a second copy of application.dat in the same folder and rename it iGO8.exe. They are the same file, just different names.
Hi:
Thanks so much for your help. You were absolutely right, my .exe was in Storage Card/Program Files.
It is working well now.
Unfortunately it didn't make TTS work for me, but I have had problems with it for a LONG time, and never been able to find a fix.
Thanks anyway for everything

Hi:
Yes I am using the above mentioned Aug 13th version, but to be honest I have had this same problem since I switches to the R3 versions. Oddly enough, I only get TTS from "Amy", which isn't even a TTS voice, but her voice is limited, and doesn't include things like street names etc... When I try to use "Susan" or "Dave" which are TTS voices, they do not work at all. I have tried a million different TTS packages, as well as sys.txt edits, and still no luck.
I have searched and searched and never been able to fix it.
But anyway, thanks so much for posting your info, I am sure it will help others.

I know it is a pain in the ass... but it can work
but then again it can also stop working right after
Good Luck!
Lokmeup, thanks for the post. I found this by googling Igo8 and contacts... I'm running iGo8 (the most recent pna version) on my Imagio and of course it won't input the contacts.
I plan on following your directions but was wondering if I'll need to keep both versions available and run the PDA version every time I enter a new contact as the PNA version won't import contacts?
I miss the 'navigate to contact' from Tomtom but Tomtom doesn't seem to like the Imagio as it lags out while iGo8 runs fine.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks and DOH! Didn't see that part about the other card. The damn SD card on the Imagio is behind the back cover and the cover is a beast to remove. I'll try to keep one internal and one external and see if that works. Thanks again!
Update: iGO 8 v8.3.2.97313 (Jul 3 2009) also works for geocoding. You can have one in main memory and one on your SD card and the one in main memory will geocode for the one on the card.
Thanks again Lokmeup, you gave me back the one function iGO was missing over TT!
Not to be a nay sayer, but why in the world do you need to jump through all these hoops to get TTS to work? My TTS works fine on 102680 with Igo as installed, I'm using the Energy 6.5.1 ROM but it's worked with every ROM I've tried it on?
For all of us obsessed with flashing, a lot of chefs are adding Sense instead of just TF3D. Sense will also cause TTS not to work. I have edited the mscr to disable HTC Sense before launching igo8 (and of course renenabling it upon exiting the program)
Two versions:
One that closes Sense then launches igo
The second closes sense, runs clean ram then launces igo
Personally i hate havng to confirm the cleanup, but your choice. Either one works out for me
IMPORTANT: RENAME file extention .txt -> .mscr (xda does not permit me to upoad mscr files)

Unless I'm really confused Energy ROM Phoenix has Sense in it, and it works fine with TTS on my phone without any scripts.

rename this file and just run it like the cab file I presume ??
Its working with the Sense file. I just went out and try it out. Would you be able to create a Sense file you created for igo mortcript and the htc addicts clean ram v1.8. ? I can see the other file as a shortcut in the start menu? Would you be able to create the same one for the sense version ?
Thanks.
How can I remove CoPilot from my HD2. I don't want to use it and can use the space.
Remove:
\Program Files\CoPilot
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\CoPilot.lnk
\Storage Card\COPILOT
I happen to like CoPilot.
As a longtime CPL user, I have been somewhat disappointed in ALK ever since CPL 6, and especially with CPL 7, which was almost a year late, dropped Text to Speech, and had old USA maps. I've been using CPL 6 on my HD. Maybe ALK will finally redeem themselves with CPL 8, considering they plan to offer TTS in a "premium" version later this year. (Interestingly, their iPhoney version has TTS as a standard feature.)
CP8, Maps & TTS
I am considering CoPilot 8. ALK claims they have the latest maps for CP8, but no TTS yet.
Anyone have CP8 that can tell us about the North America maps? I live in Houston.
But I DO like that they don't lock you to a SIM card
You can't remove files from ROM. Period. There's no way to free up space taken by the CoPilot package unless you re-cook a ROM without it. That won't happen until HSPL is out.

90% of CoPilot consists of map data which was included on the bundled 2 GB MicroSD card. That can be permanently removed, and is not a part of ROM.
You can also remove the Program Files of the program and the Start Menu shortcut, to free up NVRAM space and icon clutter, although they will be reinstalled from ROM on a hard reset unless you cook it.
That's what the OP was asking.
If map data was copied from the card to the device then yes, it definitely can be removed. "Removing" ROM files will not free up any space.
The CoPilot executable is installed from ROM at hard reset. The files it installs in \Program Files\CoPilot can be removed after hard reset to free up a tiny amount of space, but they will be reinstalled at hard reset.
The executable exists in ROM as a CAB, and as you say, cannot be removed except by re-cooking the ROM. However, the installed files in \Program Files\CoPilot are not in ROM, and can be removed after hard reset to free some space for the root filesystem.
The map data is preinstalled on the Micro-SD card at manufacturing, but it is not installed by the ROM. If the 1 GB or so of map data on \Storage Card\COPILOT is erased, then there is no way to recover it except to buy maps from ALK, such as by buying the full version.
The CoPilot installed on the Leo is a 15-day trial version, which must be activated with a license key to become the full version. When you buy a license key, you get access to the latest executables and maps.
There is one more thing, much more painful - how to remove system integration with CoPilot?
I'm TomTom user and would be happy to see TT in NaviPanel and use TT (or at least Google Maps) in Footprints.

Regedit "HKLM\Software\Htc\Navisw", change Value SDKModule to anything else that is not alk dll and footprint integration will revert back to google maps. You will have no Navipanel use for navigation though, as the navigation buttons will be greyed out.

Nice first step, thx
It would be perfect if we can found replacement compatible with Tomtom or another navi software..
BTW - i have serious doubts if such integration is legal. We paid lot of money for unlocked device and received choice - pay more for Copilot or have crippled functionality. It's unacceptable!
Well I've tried using the tomtom middlelayer dll from older versions of footprints, but it didn't work... i guess someone with programming skills should have a look at those dlls and how they are implemented. I read in another thread on older versions of footprints/navipanel that it would not be so difficult to program one, but that is beyond my capability....
How to remove system integration with CoPilot and replace with another navigation program??
Any ideas for this.
Thanks.
CoPilot is sort of removeable for me. Has nothing to do with the ROM. The files that take the most memory are NOT in Windows-dir. Deleting these gives me almost 30MB free memory. Anyhow I hope for these apps like CoPilot and Google Maps to be normally removeable in forthcoming ROMs. I'd like to put e.g. GMaps on my SD.
Hi,
I'm trying to make work the function "Show Home on map" from the contact card but without success. After a lot a research : nothing. When i click on the "show on map" button, come an error showing "the file 'TelmapNav' cannont be opened....". I can't find this file nor the directory it should be.
Has anyone the same problem and eventually the solution.

The rom is the stock 1.48 (same things happened with 1.61).
SOLVED :
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"PeopleMapVendor"=dword:00000002 ==> Orange Map
"PeopleMapVendor"=dword:00000001 ==> Google Map
Just tried L26 custom roms (v2.1) and the problem is still there...
It's probably assuming CoPilot has been installed. Have you got CoPilot installed? Same problem when you use Footprints and try to go to the location of the footprint.
I guess it's a way of cajoling you into abandoning Tomtom and buying CoPilot. Looks like HTC have a deal going on with CoPilot's makers.
Mine works fine and puts me on google maps...have you removed or disabled google maps?
Google is activated and work with Digital compass and with Footprint not with "Show home on map".
Copilot is not installed at all, I will give it a try...but don't want to use it...
EDIT : just installed Copilot 8 live, and nothing changed, still the same error ...
I get google maps too - works fine for me.
argggggg.....
Can't even find in which directory the TelmapNav.exe should be (would try to fake it with another exe but can't without this information).
Can't find anything regarding telmapnav in registry, so sad, i'm the only one with this problem...

That exe isn't on my phone either. You must have installed something that (for whatever reason) modified how the contact-to-map link works, and that's caused the problem. Have you ever installed any other map software? Telmap Navigator, for example?
Telmap navigator isn't installed, I'v tried to install it on both devide and storage card and nothing, maybe the problem come form the manila mod i'v installed (BG4all and 20 shortcuts). I will try to find information in those new manila files...
I'm with Orange and they preinstalled telmapnav. So, on my phone contact to map also launches Telmapnav, a bit like Smaky07, just that in my case it does find the .exe. But I don't want to use this piece of crap! I want it to work with TomTom or Google maps.
I searched my registry and found some keys with telmapnav in various values, but they all seemed to be Orange specific and not contact related. So, if anyone knows how the contact application is associated with a navigation app, that would be great!
pat12 could you provide telmap installation directory, just to know if I'm able to fake sense to launch something when choosing show home on map.
Ok i've find some things. I bet this is related to orange stk auto customisation (or something like that). The TelmapNav.exe must be \Programes Files\Maps\TelmapNav.exe. I'v installed OrangeMaps and "Show Home on map" open the orange navigator.
On mine, I have it at two different locations: same as yours (\program files\...) plus in the \windows folder. I agree with you that the one used by contact is in program files especially as there is a dll that seems aptly named ContactsPlugin.dll...
Anyway, I just found out that if I use the Windows contact application (in the Outlook folder) I do have a Google Maps localisation item in the menu!
Which by the way you can also get using the HTC Contact application.
Select a contact, on the screen you will have the map icon that will use the telmapnav app but click menu -> add and display more information -> again menu -> scroll to the bottom and... Google maps!
If i rename my GoogleMaps folder to Maps and rename the exe from GoogleMaps.exe to TelmapNav.exe, "show home on map" open GoogleMaps but no information is passed and only MyLocation is shown.. Have to find how data location are passed to appli...
could someone for whom it's working seach his registry and tell us all the entries for googlemaps that seem relevant to our problem?
I think a DLL is responsible for this behavior, but I can't find which one.
I've re flashed my phone with new WWE rom and same things happened, there must be a process which customize the phone with orange "flavor"... but what process?????
SOLVED....
I have finally solved this issue.
The configuration for software launched on click on "Show home on map" is handle by a REG key :
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"PeopleMapVendor"=dword:00000002 => TelmapNav (Orange Map)
"PeopleMapVendor"=dword:00000001 => Google Map
I guess the default value was 1 but after each reflash, I have a script that restore some reg bakcup value and that was the problem for me.

In my case, on pressing the map icon against the address in contact card, it does nothing. I do have the above mentioned registry set to "1" already.
what can be the problem?
My HKLM/Software/HTC/NaviSW only has (Default), BTMsgState, BTName, MovieState, TaskBarShift and TwoFingerEvent as strings.
I can't see anything in this lot that could possibly load and run any navigation software and my NaviPanel certainly won't load my TomTom navigator software (ApplicationVersion 7917).
TomTom runs just fine normally on my HD2 but won't load through NaviPanel which has only 'Make a Call' available - all the other icons are grayed out...
Any idea on how I get NaviPanel to load and use TomTom?
Thanks.

your first post not searched the forum? the answer is around
type tomtom and navipanel in the search and it comes up just like it did for me.
Yep, I've spent a chunk of today searching through this entire forum - but just can't figure out how to get NaviPanel to run my TomTom.
I found a copy of the dll "NaviSWMiddle_TomTom.dll" and dumped that into my \Windows folder (I didn't have any NaviSW dlls there at all) and I created a new registry string named "MiddleLayerDLL" and gave it the value "NaviSWMiddle_TomTom.dll" and soft-reset my HD 2 twice for good measure.
Still nudda. Zip. Zilch. I load NaviPanel and still just get the Phone icon available and all the others are grayed out. No error messages, nothing. Just grayed icons for all the rest. My TomTom is loaded onto my SD card and works perfectly from its own .lnk...
Is there a particular version of the "NaviSWMiddle_TomTom.dll" file I need? I just located the only one I could find on the web and downloaded that.
While I can happily registry edit, editing dll files is a little beyond me.
What am I missing that prevents NaviPanel from loading TomTom?

think the problem is the same for any navi program other then copilot.
look e.g. here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641756
this is about iGO but idea is the same it gives a complete solition for TomTom also
I has asked HTC Tech Support and they told me that Navipanel would work ONLY with CoPilot. So this is it unless someone comes with a work-around solution
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!
Finally got cooperation out of NaviPanel!
For those still searching -> try the link at //forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5789366&postcount=9
I edited the new Config.ini file sitting in the new CoPilot folder to include "Storage Card/" in the pathway before "Program Files/Navigator/TomTom Navigator.exe" and it is now happily functional! (This cured the "-2147479552" error...)
You can have TomTom installed on an SD card and this CoPilot work-around will get NaviPanel to cooperate!
Finally got there! Phew!
