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 I'd like to be able to know if there's a newer version of the software out, but so far, the only way I've found to be able to check this is through the TomTom Home desktop application, which doesn't seem to work with my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)?

HTC ARTEMIS P3300 - spv M650 ORANGE france

hi,
is there anyone here knows why gps internal doesn't work ?
i think it has been desactivated by them.
do you think i can modify the key registry for modify but i don(t know what key modify ?
please help me
ORANGE SUCKS

What application are you trying to use the GPS with? - Mike

tomtom navigator 6, every application i try to use want to connect to the wap(edge)

It is quite normal for the TomTom software to try to connect vis GPRS/ Edge, it does this to support the "Plus" features such as Buddies, Traffis, Weather etc.
Have you got the application working with the GPS though yet?
select Change Preferences/ Show GPS Stautus/ configure
Other NMEA GPS Receiver
Baud Rate 9600
COM4
The small yellow/ bue disk (top right) should now be spinning, take it outside away from buildings etc, give a good line of sight to the sky and wait for a GPS position fix - don't move it around while doing this (waiting for a position fix), as movement will further complicate matters - Mike

Should work fine
External GPS = COM9 (in Settings/Hardware/External GPS)
in TomTom6 set to 'Other NMEA', 57600 Baud, COM9

thank you but in Settings/Hardware/external GPS there are 3 tabs, one called programs, one called hardware and one called access (i think...is "accesso" in italian). How I have to set the 3 tabs????
In particular...
programs makes me choose a port that the softwares will use to communicate with GPS device
hardware makes me choose a port in which the GPS device is connected and the baud.
Access ask me if I want to automatic manage the GPS
What I have to set in each tab????
Thank you so much

Shouldn't matter set Progs to GPD1, HW to Com9 57600, Manage GPS Auto ON

TomTom V6.000 - GPS Problem

Hi Folks,
just bought the Artemis and...
I installed TomTom V6.000.
I downloaded the QuickGPS-File.
I Followed the instructions in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351202
Programs Tab
GPS Program Port COM4
Hardware Tab
None and 9600
Access Tab
Manage GPS automatically should be selected.
Start TomTom up and got to Change Preferences/ Show GPS Status, tap "Configure" and go through the various pages, the best one to use is "Built in GPS receiver" as it is the most simple setting only versions 6,020 and 6,030 have this facility. If you are using some other version go for "Other NMEA GPS Receiver", Baud Rate 9600, and select COM4

I get the signal after...hm lets say...20mins...if at all. Most of the time i don't get a signal anyway...
The last device i had was a MIO A701, there i got the the Signal after 1min
What did i configure wrong? Nobody wants to wait for GPS-Signals half an hour
anybody has an idea?

hmm i think i found the problem
it's the metal-case i bought from www.pdamax.de:
somehow it prevents the integrated GPS-receiver from getting the Signal.
If i turn on tomtom without having the p3300 in the metal-case, the signal is ready in about 1-2mins.
If i plug it back in the case with running tomtom and already established GPS-connection, tomtom looses one after another satelite.
what crazy ****... 20€ for a protection-case which doesn't allow GPS-navigation.
Anybody made the same experiences or am I the only fool?!

lol no you're not a fool.
Its commonly known that GPS-signals can hardly get through concrete/metal.
btw, did you post this?
!!!!ACHTUNG:
Dieses Metal-Case blockiert offensichtlich den GPS-Empfänger! Habe diese Erfahrung leider mit meinem Artemis machen müssen.

yup, was so angry that i couldn't repress myself..

Garmin Que Probleme

I INSTALLED GARMIN QUE IN MY ARTEMIS, SEARCH COM1 COM2 ... no gps found please help me

Have you got an unlocked map installed, pm me if you have problems

the problem is that que dont recognaze the GPS but it works with visualGPS

you will need a new software called Garmin MobileXT (on MicroSD card) to work with our Artemis with build-in GPS. Other Garmin software will not see the GPS at all.
