Slightly Annoyed

I've been trying to find a way to install individual maps for my Artemis but it seems I am stuck with TomToms BS way of dealing with them.
Ok, so I start Tom Tom home and look for CH... I only see DE, AT & CH. +all major EU roads... and I think to myself, "heh, no, I'll stick to CH only thanks". WRONG. Tomtom will not let me.
I don't want to install Austria and Germany if I want my CH map... Why on earth do I have to do that?? I only want the CH map, plain and simple, that's it, I'll install AT and DE when I want/need!!... It takes up 300 MB off my SD card on stuff I will not use anyway
Then I try to calm down and think "hmm maybe CH is too small for it to be worth the bother thus they decided to fuse it to the others"... THEN I SEE CANARY ISLAND worth just over 3MB...arrrrrghhhhh!!! why why why
Anyway, sorry for the rant but I needed to let the steam off. Now, does anyone of you know of a way on installing CH (or any fused map for that matter) individually?
Help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

You might be frustrated mister, but still your language is offending, even with the ***'s.
Here we 'act' like gentlemen (and women)

as you mentioned the map you have includes all the coutries (Ger, Aut, Ch + major EU roads).
So you cant extract or what ever only one coutry.
Go to the tomtom page and see if you can buy a map only for your loved CH or live with the FREE Ger and Aut maps
Cheers a german guy...

Edited for the easily offended.
I hope you really "'are" gentlemen (and women) otherwise if you only "act" then it'd be rather hypocritical

Ok, the fact the software comes bundled with the device doesn't mean it's FREE as you want to point out. I paid for the device and believe you me that they do charge you for it
Oh and it's not about my "loved" CH and hated evil "DE,AT" it's about choice. What I need and what I don't. In my case, I don't need the other countries, why should I have to waste over 200MB of my card's space on it. Sorry if I am not a conformist.

Of corse your are right, you have/had to pay for it, but there is no CH only map available für TomTom as you can see on www.tomtom.com . And as i mentioned there is no way (i think) of extracting the CH part of the DACH package.
And its a pitty i can't "delete" or what ever the A/CH part of my DACH map, so i could save space too.

Canary Island, you say? Just hold a second! Sure you are using an official version? Canary Island was used to activate some cracked maps with new tomtom versions! Afaik, no other reason for this map to be there!

I am surely not the only one with an Artemis Premium so I'd suggest you go inform and educate yourself by asking others before making stupid comments.

go to your local shop and buy it.

or if you have a data plan...use google maps/windows live search.
(if they work in India, I imagine they do...)

it works.. but this handset which i have is from T-mobile..(wifi chip is not present) so its not possible to use WIFI for data connection. and gprs is kinda slow and costly as well.. if there is a map available. it will be very easy to navigate in the city.. thanks ne way.. if any one finds a map to india.. pls post in the thread..

I bought in HTC 3000 in chennai, and I got the MAPKING software with one map, I selected chennai map. But the map is not accurate, so I use freeware google maps which is very accurate but find route option doesn't work in google maps, have to buy google navigator.

can u post that MAPKING SOFTWARE here on this thread?

No, this is not a site which distributes copyrighted software. It has been said before in this thread.
This site distributes software developed by enthusiasts and that's about it. Hence the name "xda-developers".

You can get detailed road maps of all major cities as well as India here

www.tomtom.com ;-)

if your using 3G you could also use Googlemaps for the phone.
for more information: http://www.google.com/mobile/gmm/index.html
point your phones browser to http://www.google.com/gmm

any freebies?

The only free one I know of is Googlemaps that I already spoke about. tTough you pay for the data downloaded via your ISP using 3G/Wifi.
tbh who would make a GPS Navigation application and ask nothing for it?

How about smart2go, you can download the maps for free of Europe and do navigation (on screen) all for free. The only bit you pay for is the voice prompts.
I use tomtom, but I've given it a go and it works pretty well. I'm planning on using it in greece later in the year as there's better coverage than the version of tomtom I have.
It's a little fiddly to get the map loader program to install the maps, but if you try and have a problem let me know and I'll try and find out what I did to get it working.

Hehehe.
I love all the answers skirting around what he's asking for...
Nobody can give you a link to Pirated software on this forum, sorry. Search Google for that.
Another FREE alternative is Microsoft Live Search. It's actually a pretty good GPS program if you look around in it. Also, it uses speech recognition to input what you are looking for. Give it a try.

Asking GPS for my HTC X01HT..

HI guys..Im new to my phone and this forum..I hope you guys can help me to find a GPS software for my phone(even the install instruction) =P..i heard that Tomtom 6 or 7 is a pretty good one for US region..but ive tried to find it for a long time but i just cant find it..by the way i have a Holux gps receiver (is that what it called?)..I would be very appreciated if you guys can help me out on this..thanks
P.S: my phone is HTC(softbank) X01HT, i think its same as Dopod 838 pro.

garmin
You can download Garmin Mobile XT from the Garmin website. (you need I think the garmin support files and basemap)
Then with their mapsource software, you can upload your maps from windows to the phone.

GPS
um..actually i am looking for free download..if you have it..

Then you went to the wrong forum...

US Cellular help please!!

OK, I am new here and have done a lot of reading. Apparently me and about 3 other guys are the only ones that have USCC, not a lot out there for us. NFSFAN, you have mentioned that you might be able to whip us up something if there were more, that would be great. I do have a number of specific questions and I'd love all the great input that everyone has.
1. 6.5 or Android? (yes I know it is all personal taste)
2. My touch does not have GPS enabled from USCC. If I unlock the phone do I use .41 or 2.31? Yes I want GPS and would find a ROM with it and is that why I would choose one or the other?
3. My Radio is 3.42.30, do I need to upgrade to 3.42.50 for GPS or just to upgrade to 6.5? and where do I find that radio?
4. Am I asking to basic of questions yet?
5. How do I get Adobe Flash Player loaded/upgraded?
6. Is there a good .cab website out there for games/apps?
7. Can I have my cake and eat it too?
Nah j/k but I know my phone is capable of so much more than I am using it for now and want to take advantage of it. I really appreciate all the help and suggestions.
Thanks

Have you look over at PPC Geek's at all? There is a lot more CDMa info there.

Ok, I kinda thought this was the forum for CDMA, aka my USCC VOGUE phone. I have looked on ppc and am going to repost this question there. I saw the wealth of knowledge here and thought I could get some help....

This particular forum is for the CDMA Vogue but this site is geared more toward GSM devices. There doesn't seem to be a big US Cellular following on here.

Yes it is a personal choice, nice thing about Android is that it is a Linux shell - rebooting the phone brings you back to WinMO so really it can be best of both worlds just be prepared for some work in using Android and remembering steps before starting it like, Starting IE/Opera before starting Android to make sure you have Internet within Android (at least when I was using it a few months back)

You would use 2.31 unlocker and from there flash to a custom ROM - try a Generic ROM either 6.1 or WinMO6.5 might be able to utilize GPS if your connecting via generic or seek out some other USCC users in threads, I know some are using 6.5 currently and able to work fairly well

No, 3.42.30 is fine, you wont see a difference with 3.42.50 worth it plus it can cause some issues more than positives so stay to the basics

Depends on the ROM used as well as the Browser (IE or Opera) there is some reports of IE Mobile 8 or something like that working but flaky

Search the forums both here at VDA as well as PPCGeeks you will see links to personal cab repositories that will contain some for ya

Of course you can, but the actual saying is "can I eat my cake and have it too" in reference to the days of Marie Antoinette and the famous line of "let them eat cake" the idea is to be able to eat your cake AND have it, which of course would be impossible as would the situation a person in reference to the saying would be wanting as well
Hope that helps

Thanks Doug I had almost given up hope on this thread. I have been on PPC Geeks and am just about to take the plunge. Thanks for all the advice and I see the logic in the actual "eat / have it" order, very interesting and educational. Thanks again and I will try to update after I upgrade.

spittinfly, in your reading have you found the settings you need with QPST to make your GPS work with USCellular? Also, the instructions that get you into the diagnostic mode with other carriers do not work with USCellular. I had to do a lot of reading myself, and piece together information from several different threads to make it work. With the same radio you have I can lock in from 6 to 11 satellites. If you have found all this information I won't bother typing it all in, but if you need it let me know.
Personally, I've tried a couple of different ROMs, but I'm currently just running the USCellular WM6.1 with SPB Mobile Shell 2.1.5, while I'm anxiously awaiting Shell 3.

Well I am not familiar w/ SPB but I did go on ppcgeeks and searching for "uscc 6900" found what appears to be a good option for me. Would someone mind checking it out?

SPB is a set of applications for use ON your phone (SPB Backup, SPB Keyboard, ETC) SPB is the company name followed by what the app is
As far as the thread, Im hoping and assuming you are referring to NFSFAN 6.5 V6R2 Generic Carrier ROM ... I only ask as I am not going to read through 8 pages of replies to find what your referring to
If it is regarding NFSFAN and the ROM he has to offer, then yes I would suggest trying it, its the ROM I use on my HTC Vogue (Touch) and its been stable, fast and reliable
Detroit Doug

Is there a way to "turn on" the GPS (unlocker first, I understand this) WITHOUT changing the ROM?
I very much enjoy my current setup with ONE exception: no GPS.
I've read a little about QPST and have tried a version of it (its been quite a while) but it doesn't seem to recognize my 6900...
so... basically... 2 questions: 1. can I turn on GPS using only a settings change in QPST, and if so, 2. what version of QPST do I need to do so?
FYI, USCC 6900 6.1 Radio 3.42.30 ROM 3.01.573.4
Thanks in advance
