Just to let you know that for a number of regions new Tomtom v825 maps are available for our HD. The map with the endings v825.2158 and 2159 work on the HD and PDAs, the 2157 are for PNA.
However, some users i.e. for the 2157-version of the new DE map report that street changes that were included in the previous v815 are now again gone in v825. But 2157 does not run on the HD anyway, so hopefully upcoming PDA-version is better.
TomTom Map United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland v825.2159
TomTom Map Scandinavia v825.2159
TomTom Map Iberia v825.2159
TomTom Map Western Europe (1GB) v825.2159
TomTom Map Benelux v825.2159
Hi,you can't buy these maps because your device is not recognized by tomtom home for the download . Only devices mentionned by tomtom can download new maps .
Compatible Devices , Touch HD doesn't appear ...
Latest TT Home will recognise HD as valid device.
Latest is 2.5 ( 2.6 is beta version ) and if you buy a map you could not download it , even if your pda is recongnised , the device ID is not in Tomtom database . We do a try with a Diamond,and a Touch HD no listed in Tomtom, we could buy a new map,we saw it in Tomtom home but we've got the following red message : This device is not compatible with Tomtom navigator 7 and just an old V675 could be downloaded . Tomtom confirm that by phone ...
there is a workaround to get the new maps and get TThome to work with your HD, it isnt illegal although isnt official or supported.
its contained in the main TT thread if you want to go and look for it, search iberia
Sorry,but Tomtom doesn't tolerate this method ... ( modify or hacking to make compatible ) . You can contact support for more infos .... You can find this on the forums devoted to Tomtom ...
Tomtom has decided not to market Tomtom Navigator 7, which we regret, we are forced to conclude that its users have in their possession an unofficial version therefore pirated.
Tomtomax will not give technical support or equipment of any kind on this version . (See our rules) .
In addition, we give the right to remove Tomtom Navigator 7 profile or signature of the poster, and to suspend the Poster's Tomtomax account Tomtomax .

Don't assume that what has happened in France is equally applicable around the globe. In the UK, I've found Tomtom to be more forward thinking.
A month ago I loaded ttn7.910.9185 then installed Tomtom 2.5. This recognised my Touch HD (Dutty 1.7 ROM) and I was able to purchase and download West Eu map 815.2024. I have since purchased and used TT traffic. I am still able to get map share info when I connect to TT home 2.5.
I queried TT UK on another matter and they were interested on how I had got my Touch HD working. Their reply regarding TT7 Nav being pirated or not was:
"Thank you for contacting TomTom Customer Support
Navigator 7 has been released preinstalled on certain PDA's in just a few countries in Europe, including the Vodafone HTC Touch Diamond in the Netherlands.
This product has not been released in and is not supported in UK. Any PDA's or mobiles with this product preinstalled are either cracked versions or have been imported from abroad. As in your case - it was imported from abroad.
The screen size issue you mentioned is one of the examples why Navigator 7 is not yet compatible with the HTC Touch HD. Some people have experienced that the size of the navigation screen is way smaller than the actual size of your HTC screen. We thank you for offering in testing navigator 7 however we already have our R&D department working with compatibility".
I suspect the issue over an imported phone to the UK is actually the cooked ROM source that I am using.
I presume from their reply that If I had imported a Dutch THD for use in the UK then there would be no issues?

Thanks for your input, Marcdu81 just tries to be helpful and steer people away from using TT on their HD. Well, I, like thousands of other community members here, use it on our HD, in fullscreen, and TT knows that in some countries Navigator 7 was bundled with the HD and other HTC devices. As long as they can sell the maps they are happy, but dont expect support for a TT version on an imported device. TT support in my country will also let you port your maps purchased for another PDA device to the HD, given that they have been bought six months ago, under warranty.
Chance for you but in France using Tomtom 7 is not recommanded . They contact us to delete the cab application in our forum ... No problem we'll use an other navigation software ... Each country is different,i don't know why,I think Europe is not the same for everybody ...

Tried to get TomTom Navigator 7 (from diamond) working on my Hermes but it fails to install and reports "the device is not supported".
Anyone had more luck or knows if a more generic version will be released soon?

I have no idea but to be honest i don't really think so. Hermes is no longer produced by HTC npw for quite some time so i doubt new versions of software will be supported by it...
Cheers.
I've read in other forums that hermes is not supported cos it doesnt have an integreated GPS, so if they can desactivate the part of the program that it checks if there's an internal gps it will work... i guess in sometime someone will make it.
Hi,
here is already a TomTom 7 thread.

Mod edit: Warez link removed
Guy's.. I'm not sure on the legality of these posts, wouldn't this be classed as warez??
of cause a lot we do on the forums is a little dubious, but not sure if this is pushing it a little too far

The Tomtom7 that is being distributed has been ripped from the diamond. No maps are being distributed and there are a lot of people saying that Tom tom 6 maps don't work. If you can get the software working, you will still have to purchase the maps...
I've got TT7 working with the TT7 v710.1571 map since yesterday on my hermes. I've got a diffirent version then the diamond version because that one doesn't work. I don't know if I can post info about that because I think it is warez...
I tried to instal it on my hermes yesterday, no luck here. Phone saying that software cannot be instaled as is not signed, what is a bit strange as i have no problems with any other software.
Works fine on my TyTN with Western Europe map for TT6. I'm searching for the new Western Europe v7 map...
But to make it work, I didn't used the link which is in this thread but I downloaded it from an other thread. (No maps, no serial, only software)
It's working on my Hermes with map v710.1561.
UI is much better looking and there are a few new features like "where am I".
Help's you when you are lost with your navigator
Cheers,
Drifter

Where? Which thread?
I'm wondering if anyone has any version of TomTom Home to detect TT7 on the Hermes...
I'm interested in getting the mapshare features working...
Take your memory card out of your hermes and use a memory card reader, then TomTom Home will recognise it.
Tomtom 7 confirmed and working with New Zealand Map on Jasjam. Goodluck!

I've tried doing this, but I still get the "Connect your TomTom device" page...
Did you get it working with TT Home 2.3 or 1.5?
If with 2.3, are you able to advise me the directory layout and volume name of your SD Card? I'm guessing it's going to be something basic that is not working lol

TomTom 7 working
Got TomTom 7.450 (9028) working with Australia Map 720_1838 the latest 2008 Australia Map used the cab mentioned earlier in this thread thru Rapidshare.
I have not been able to hookup to TomTom home 2.3 yet
Got it working on CRC's stable 11 ROM on my Hermes 100.
I got my TTN 7.450 (9028) from TPB but the cab files appear to be identical to the ones posted in this thread... but it includes some other goodies that have been available for a long while.
Also apparently I have outdated maps though (damn you in2vnyl) as my maps were only v705_1485 but I am now upgrading to v1838 care of IPM.
IPM
IPM IP Mart Forum is really organized takes a bit of reading but the site has a lot of helpful information concerning TomTom GPS.
New TomTom setup with lastest TomTom application and 2008 Australia Map s really awesome. I don't think text to speech is featured for PPC Though
Hello.
I'm looking for some navigation software for my Blackstone.
It would be great if the phone was fully supported i.e fullscreen 800X480.
Maps have to cover Australia and also New Zealand if possible.
Thanks in advance.
Frederik
IGO8 is the best!
or you can try Garmin
Hi,if you look all the official website, no navigation software are available for our Blackstone for the moment ( Navigon,Nav N go etc ... ) . After some cooked versions works but they are not really official ....

I like IGO, but I often got the issue that it leads me to road closed to car' traffic (or limited to residents only). Can be a real disturbance...
Alright. So.. which of these "cooked" versions is the best for Australia (and New Zealand?)
For your notice, Route 66 fully supports Blackstone(acc. to their website), but the price is sky high - 179,95$.
@Prerna
It is solved and works without problems, but it is necessary to make some modifications in sys.txt.
Igo 8 And TomTom
I have igo8 and TomTom 7 on my HD and i am happy with them both, they both look great on the big screen, but i think Igo 8 looks and works the better of the two, easy to instal and easy to use, very nice piece of software
Hope this helps
take a look at this post especially covering navigation in Australia:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3287626&postcount=26
Okay. But since none of these programs supports the WVGA screen, where can I find "skins" for this resolution?
And TomTom 7 isn't official yet?
iGO 8 work on Gurjon skin with all resolution...

TechrificWay GPS Navigation - IGo with 3D landmarks and terrain for Australia & NZ
Mods if this is considered as advertisement, my apologies and please del post.
Hi guys,
Just thought I share this great new product. I had been a little disappointed with Igo for not providing 3D landmarks and terrain with their Australia maps, us Aussie users can now enjoy this great feature with: TechrificWay GPS http://www.techrific.com.au/techrif...ew-zealand-powered-by-igo-my-way-8-p-492.html Navigation.
according to their website quote:
"TechrificWay is the only GPS Navigation Software that supports Real 3D Landmark, Terrain and Elevation in Australia and New Zealand (High rise buildings, Petrol Station, etc.)".
It is powered by iGO My Way 8 engine and supports text to speech.
The package contains:
2 gig micro SD card with adapter
TechrificWay software with iGo My Way 8 engine
Australia and NZ maps powered by NAVTEQ Q3 2008
30 language support with 50 voices
I think $209 is reasonable, although I have not yet tried this. Has anyone tried? What you think?
Techrific Way iGO 8 running on my Topaz
I have this installed and running. I wanted maps for NZ and Aus and iGO 8 is great software so this was good for me.
As far as Techrific go I was a little worried because they were small so I checked them out. Nav N Go (who make iGO 8) e-mailed me that the software was legitimate (and legal licence) but the Techrific version was not yet supported by their update tool (so no upgrades of map purchases from then available yet).
I received no conformation notification after I ordered from Techrific but software arrived to me within 24 hours!
Maps are kinda pricey from Nav N Go site so AU$209 is ok for software + NZ and Aus maps (and potential future upgrade support). I don't but many toys so I can justify
The Topaz is not listed on the Nav N Go site as being supported but it worked 1st time. Channel 4 and away I went. You get the SD card (with micro SD) and a CD with just the manual on it. The manual is the same as from the Nav N Go site but just with the title page changed.
The splash startup screen is also changed to be Techrific but other than that it is just iGO 8 with NZ and Aus maps.
Incidentally the pronunciation of street names works really well. Australian voices are included but you can only use street pronunciation with English or American voices. I use English female which is good
The Topaz has lots of RAM and so this feature is good for me.
Many street names are on the map but not available in the search. If at home I use Google map then put in coordinates but many options are available. So far every address I can navigate to and no bad directions apart from where I know that traffic is bad. Actually found a couple of better ways. So Aus map is good.
I have not used the POIs much but having land marks in 3d is kinda handy.
I previously used Mapking and iGO 8 has many more features. The iGO version has more features then iGO Amigo if your phone has enough RAM. If on 64MB RAM then maybe look at Amigo.
I am sure I can find out on this site how to pipe my FM radio on my phone into traffic suggestions so that is next.
I own one as well (TechrificWay). I posted my review some months ago here: http://www.michaelaulia.com/blogs/igo-myway-8techrific-way-review.html
I wish that they can get the update tool pretty soon. I love my software to be always up to date!
So im getting my Touch HD hopefully today or tomorrow and i was looking at putting some GPS software on it (TomTom) and i was wondering how i go about doing that? i mean i know that the actual software can be downloaded free just not the maps (as far as im aware) but i havent found any that say they work on the Touch HD - i read that "ttn7.910.9185 vga black" works but i cant find a download link for it anywhere that i have looked, also once done how do i buy the maps as i looked on the TomTom site but couldnt find the Touch HD as an option - i am missing something?
any help would be grateful
thanx
Currently you cant seem to buy it anywhere which is annoying. I would contact TOMTOM or search the forum for a Cab file. However people have reported that when this Cab is used to buy maps tomtom will not accept it as valid.
okay thanx. are there any GPS software that works with Touch HD that does NOT require that it stay on a specific memory card - i have seen some for sale at reasonable prices that come on 2gb memory cards but it seems that they cant be moved over and i would prefer not to have to shutdown phone, take memory card out and put new one in just so i can use GPS
Should be no problem to make a backup copy once you own the original. In fact many manufacturers recommend it.
Of the HD-compatible navigation solutions you might wanna look at Route 66 for compatibility with the TMC driver for HD available from this forum, useful depending on where you live, or the navigation solutions from Sygic and Ndrive, optimized for touch control.
Tomtom 7.9, Igo 8.3 and Navigon 7.4 are other great solutions, I use them, but they do not support the HD officially, if my knowledge is up to date.
i live in the UK, which one would be best / most easy to use.
so if i get say this one : http://www.tomtom.com/products/product.php?ID=898&Lid=1&Category=2
it comes on 2gb memory card, so i could make a copy of that to put onto my 8gb memory card? would i still be able to buy maps for it - though most likley wouldnt need any yet as i dont plan on going to USA, Canada ect any time soon
as looking at the buy maps option it doesnt show Touch HD as an option but in the product details it says that its compatible with Touch HD ???
ttn7.915.9196.cab
This is the installation pack that I use.
I had my own tt 520 unit destroyed so decided to use the maps I had bought from TomTom on the HD... it's complicated but there are solutions on dodgy sites that allow a users to register a map with a device... Thank heavens for that!!!
Works well and has no issues with any of the Miri Builds of WM6.5 or Stock 6.1 (Orange UK).
RIP MJ.

Hi all,
I got round to installing TTN on my HD yesterday after installing Miri's WM6.5 ROM.
I installed TT6 and then discovered it doesn't work so read around some threads on here about using TT7 instead.
I got the QVGA TT7 Black CAB from one of the threads on the forum and installed it, however my TT6 Western Europe maps aren't being shown and it's reporting No Maps.
According to TT Home my map is version 660.1219 (that's just the UK and Ireland part) - Will this map version work or am I going to have to buy the new one?
PS: Yes, this is a purchased and official map.
Thanks
Richard

I Have installed TTN 7.450 under wm6.1 with official purchased italian maps 6.032.8355 and all is well running, also if the characters and the touch keyboard are very very little.
You can resolve this issue using WVGAfix (search in blackstone forums) in order to change the screen resolution
to standard Vga (from 800x480 to 640x480).
Bruram
Where did you get 7.450 as all the threads I found point to 7.910.
I'd like to give 7.450 a go.
Thanks
Richard
Sorry for late answer.
The name of the file is "TT_Nav_7.450.9028_repack3-qvga-black.cab", it is a file of 12060kb.
You can find some discussions on this version within Xda for general information, but relevant links for download does not work.
You can try the mule...
Bruram
Hey bruram, if you downloaded the italian map from the TomTom site, which phone did you select at step 1 (Select Your Product) after you picked Navigator 7? I see about a dozen devices listed but of course none of them are the Touch HD. Does it even matter?
6.75 works ok on Tomtom 7.45

If you switch to landscape when the keyboard is up you get a much bigger and easier to use keyboard instead.
