Upgrading Tomtom?

I bought an Artemis (standard package) a while ago and it shipped with Tomtom Navigator 6.020. I'd like to be able to know if there's a newer version of the software out, but so far, the only way I've found to be able to check this is through the TomTom Home desktop application, which doesn't seem to work with my Artemis's TomTom Navigator software.
Is there any page on the TomTom website where I can get Navigator updates (or at least check to see which version number is current)?
Also, I though I'd ask - 6.020 still is the most current version of Navigator, correct?

Although I don't own an Artemis a friend of mine does Tomtom home will function only if Tomtom is not running on the device.
One way to check for updates is either by GSM/GPRS/UTMS connection or when the device is connected via AS on a PC with an active internet connection. Go to Tomtom Plus services - Check for updates. Make sure you have a valid username and password for TT plus services.

My Artmis works good with TomTom home and yes, 6.0.20 ist the up-to-date-version

I have an XDA Orbit, I updated from Tomtom V5 to V6 today and works fine no problem, boots up a lot faster than TT5. Not sure why you have V6.020 , mine is V6.010 build (7720) which should be the latest?
By the way if anyone is upgrading from V5 to V6 maps, when it asks for which device you have pick MDA III if you don't you will only get V6 Maps, no TT6 Program.

My Artemis came pre-loaded with 6,020 you get an option in the GPS configuration within TomTom to select "Inbuilt GPS" - Mike

Mike, I guess TOMTOM have done a special OEM bundle for the HTC P3300, I don't get the "Inbuilt GPS" option, I have to setup mine as "Other NMEA GPS reciever" Baud rate 4800 COM4,
Cheers

Just wondering why coz I recently bought tt6 and installed it on my S100 and the version says only 6.010 and when I try to update it tells me I've already have the latest version.

Latest version TT6: 6.010
Version on HTC P3300 is 6.020, which is 6.010 adjusted with the internal GPS feature

I have a HTC P3300 which came with the 6.020 however when hooked up to TT Home it advised me that there was an update. After i updated the vesrsion was 6.010.
Everything worked fine! I aclled Tom Tom US and they did not know that the latest version was. So what i did is a master reset and reverted to the factory setting to reapply the 6.020 since thyat one should be the latest version.
Cheers

TT6 should detect the internal GPS on the Orbit/3300/Artemis fine I know mine does, had the co-piolt got rid of it as it was crap and put TT6 on and works fine
Just need to work out how to load new voices onto it now
Kimbie

Simply use TT Home to load voices onto the card.

does the 6.020 version also add the ability to use the quick GPS function of the artemis which is greyed out on the 6.010 version?
I'm running a back-up version of 6.010 and it seems to work fine, although it does take ages to get a fix.

Hi, I run an Orbit I have QuickGPS which updates when I sync my Orbit with the PC, I also run TT v 6.010 , can you explain what is greyed out?
Cheers

I am in the same situation that the "quick fix gsp" is grayed out on both tt home and/or in my device.
Just for a test, can anyone post the files stored in the Navigator folder?

My quick gps on the HTC-P3300 is not grayed out. Where is the quick gps on the TT?

I think there is a bit of confusion on my part and maybe others it seems tomtom has a plugin similar or the same as "HTC QuickGPS" which essentially does the same thing when in TOMTOM, I cannot find it in my version? links below explains TOMTOM version.
‘QuickGPSfix’ http://www.tomtom.com/plus/service.php?ID=18&Language=1
I think but am not sure the "HTC QuickGPS" should help TT6 and other gps apps find the satellites quicker as long as the PDA is docked with activesync regularly or downloaded via GPRS? If I am wrong please let me know.
Cheers

Hi NickR,
Mine works exactly as you explained. I used the tweak so i could drain the battery while plugged in without charging. I have been told i should drain the battery every once in a while. I am in the basement phone is on with wifi and gps working flawless.
cheers,

I'm confused about your statement because first you claim it works but then you ask where is it located. So how do you know it works if you don't know where to activate/deactivate it?
@NickR: what you say is true and seems to be designed only for non PDA/phone devices.

The quickGPS installed in my HTC-P3300 fine.
The one in TT i cannot find!

The "quick gps fix" in tt can be found when selecting "TTPlus Services - Download more" options. You'll have to have the device connected via AS or EDGE/GPRS/UMTS.
Appologies dicin, I didn't mean to be rude. I don't have an Artemis and would like to know what does the "quick gps" installed on your device do. Does it have the same function as posted by NickR (http://www.tomtom.com/plus/service.php?ID=18&Language=1)?

How to turn GPS on in Cingular 8525

hi everyone,
has anyone tried to turn GPS on in Cingular 8525 besides that '$10/month telenav'? 'coz if there's a way then 8525's GPS can be used with Google Map / Microsoft's Live search maps...
Many thanx in advance

Any one on GPS on Cingular 8525 ...?
Many Thanx, Jags

i.TrekM5+ Bluetooth GPS
I used the i.TrekM5+ Bluetooth GPS without a Problem in Live Search and Google Maps. Although the Live Search interface was much better.
Instructions on how to setup the device were included with the GPS Receiver manual, but consist on only pairing the devices and selecting the port that will be used for communication.
Then you go into the application and specify which COM port will be used.
I was using ATT 8525 (HTC) with Windows Mobile 5. I have just upgraded my rom to Windows Mobile 6 and haven't tried it out again.
I was looking for any way to bring WM6 to its full capacity, as ATT seem to have stripped a lot out of the OS.
Any suggestions?

You need to buy a reciever for gps on the 8525 then go in the registry and enable the gps option.

6.1 and tom tom, bluetooth working now?

Can any body tell me the best 6.1 cab to use tom tom on have trouble with bluetooth at the moment wont stay paired up.
Will consider using a 6.0 cab if this is the only way.
is there a fix
thank you

Had no problems with either Farias R-32 versions, and Schaps was fine too.
i found TomTom pretty good with pairing and finding bluetooth signals.

TNT 19999
Hy...
no problem with this rom.... i hope this notice can help you.....
If you need some other information cantact me!!!
Bye!!

there must be another problem, mabe with your bt-gps. Been flashing about 7 different 6.0 and 6.1 roms's the last few weeks and none of them heve instable bluetooth gps pairing and using.
i'm using a bt-gps and bt-stereo headset intensive together. listening to mp3, on the same time tomtom is telling directions, while on the background pushmail is bringing me new mail that i can read at the same time, being interrupted for incoming sms.
on top of that all an incoming phone call on my bt-headset will work, just as using a voice command to dial a number myself. and the mp3 player automaticaly pauses and restarts at the end of the phonecall.
tomtom keeps working.
just when ending a phonecall sometime the mp3 sound goes to the pda speaker instead of the headset.

Pays 6.1 ROM works with tt6 and bt.

My hermes kept droping out with TomTomon WM5 all the time, but since I switched to WM6 i never had a single drop.
For me WM5 > WM6 stopped all TomTom problems I had

hi Photoscuba, i have the exact same problems
First it wont pair properly (says that the key is incorrect).
Its there in the Bluetooth device list, so i open a com port for it then run my gps software, goto detect GPS but then i keep getting GPS reciver wants to pair with you message, as soon as i can answer yes or no, another screen will pop up saying the same
i have asked in several other threads if anyone else is having the same issues, but everyone elses seem fine.
i did read some where about all wm6.1 rom having problems with pairing when using the pass code 0000 (something along the lines of it sending a NULL or a single 0), but i cant find now. ill keep looking for it maybe someone has over come this, on a thread on XDA.
i use a HOLUX GPSlim240 receiver and it works flawlessly with wm6's
im using K's 1.3 at the mo

All these ROMS worked for me
I like to test new ROM and play around a lot.
I have tested Tom Tom 6 and my Bluetooth GPS on the following WM 6.1 ROM all worked.
Below are the ROM in the order i used them.
FARIA-R-32-CLEAN
TNT.19199_Professional_Hermes
CRCs_PHKv12r10
Binky11'sv3_3 - Great Clean ROM and i loved S2U2
PDACorner.V10 - New ROM i am testing right now

Considering they are talking about Tomtom, I assume thats the software they are using....

yea, lol, shoulda seen that coming
but the problem seems to be the gps unit connecting or staying paired to the phone, so if there a list of bluetooth gps units that are working fine with wm6.1 then maybe see why some units wont connect
It all works fine on all the WM6's, so the change is in how wm6.1 handles it as far as i can work out
if theres a list of workin and non working GPS's then maybe i could see what the problem is

Imate PDA2K as GPS

hi all is that possible i use Imate PDA2K as GPS
plz tell me any kind of help....
tnx in Adv:

Yes it is. It works with most major GPS applications, TOM TOM, Handymap etc. You just need a bluetooth GPS receiver. I use it is my primary GPS device.

of course... just buy a gps receiver, garmin should b a good brand for it as well as the software.

Yes with BT GPS receiver it works like a charm. I'm using garmin software and BT138 (4 years old). I've also tried TomTom, IGO and others but because my specific needs I'm using garmin.

I also installed this version of TomTom and I had to confirgure it as GPS NMEA receptor on com9 with the speed of 57600. Than you have to wait about 2 or 3 second for TomTom to find the device.
With the internal GPS, it does not work.
Hope I could help you.
Best regards,
Dave
