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.

Guy's.. I'm not sure on the legality of these posts, wouldn't this be classed as warez??

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

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

I'm in the same boat. Can confirm working with UK & ROI 7.15
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
just wondering if all the Diamond ROMs/updates have the same build of TomTom 7 in them.
Euh, well, till now, I haven't found a rom with TTN7 in it. None on this forums, and also not in the original (dutch) rom. But can be downloaded elsewhere.
it WILL NOT BE FOUND in ANY ROM's distributed here as it is classed as Warez and xda-dev dont tolerate warez.

that could be an interesting discussion. why are we allowed to distribute touchflo etc and not tom tom. both are part of the rom that you bought.
is touchflo 3d opensource? windows mobile 6.1? what about other applications that are inside. can i only burn roms that have the same applications ( they differ per region)
does tom tom work without the maps? and if not: it is good for tomtom if they spread their application to as many people as possible, who then have to buy a map from them.

I agree with you, but that are not the Xda-Rulez, a bit strange but it is.
We can RIP/MODIFY/CREATE/DISTRIBUTE Winmo roms even thatts against the rulez, but we cant do that with tomtom, a bit strange, but it are rulez and we must accept them.

Wrong, if you remember two years ago Microsoft sent a nasty little letter to xda-dev about "us" hosting the ROM's on the ftp as they saw it as "licensed IP" which is what TomTom7 is with or without the maps. It will only be a matter of time before TomTom do the same.

See above post, TouchFLO is not opensource, it uses opensource libraries, as long as they do not modify the opensource libraries then they are fine. All depends on the EULA they have.
No TomTom does not work without the maps, once again see the above post.
I assume HTC have an agreement with TomTom to distrubute TT7 in the up and coming ROM's but its against xda-dev policy to "distrubute" ROM's containing warez

correct, not for AU though
Well aside from all this copyright stuff, my understanding is that if you get your diamond from a service provides (eg t-mobile or orange etc) on contract then you may get tomtom pre-installed on your device (the app is subsidised by the network), but HTC on there own do not ship simfree models with tomtom pre-installed.

ahh! I'm a newbie, so thanks for the info.
TT is not shipped in the ROM but is delivered on a cd in Holland. The problem is that TT6 is delivered and not TT7.
Now we are getting to the original question i think... Where did TomTom 7 come from then if they supply TomTom 6 with the Diamond?
Voor de mensen in NL die op zoek zijn naar TT7, stuur me een private message en ik help je
Has anyone heard anything about TomTom on the HD? After watching the french review and her saying it doesnt work, is that because the tomtom 7 on the diamond is locked to the diamond?
I suppose we will never know until someone gets there hand on one?
And I wonder if it is because of applications made for VGA device is having problem on the 800x480 screen.
That may be the issue, however so far I have never seen the Diamond having any problems showing QVGA apps either it just blows them up. But because the aspect ratio is no longer 4:3 this may be an issue --- I can not image that HTC lets this be an issue though since hardly any application is made to suit WVGA.
There are 2 editions of TomTom (QVGA and VGA) as far as I know. The samsung omnia has also a different aspect ratio and the QVGA version works perfect. So I think the VGA version will work also on the Touch HD without any problems.
I have a Toshiba G900 (WVGA Display, 800x480) and I can confirm that TomTom works without problems on non standard screen resolutions.
This has also been confirmed by people with xperia's. It works without a problem!
Would TomTom 6 work on the HD?TomTom6 has worked fine on my HTC Universal, and its resolution is also different to the diamond. Or are there other problems to get TomTom6 work on the HD, like the internal GPS?
TomTom 6 works without any problems.
tomtom for htc diamond
i have tested both the tomtom 6 and tomtom 7 working on on the HTC diamond. It works a treat. Copilot 7 live also works well but the software is a lot older and doesnt pickup postcodes as well as tomtom.
Any more opinions as to screen compatibilty with popular software, like SB Pocket Plus and all the main apps?
Thanks!
Could anybody upload a screenshot picture of TomTom working on a WVGA Display (800x480)?

what do you mean "locked to the diamond"? I used both TomTom 6 and 7 for months on my VX8600
TomTom 7.451 is ok (7.9 ko) but keyboard is very little...
Currently I'm running TomTom 7 on my Touch Pro with maps for version 6.75. Working perfectly. TT 7 was installed from a cab file available on this forum which was extracted from Diamond. Will this same version of TT7 will work on HD with same maps (version 6.75)? I ma not sure what is the extended version of this TomTom i.e., it is 7 but is it 7.45 or 7.9 .... don't know. Tried to find it but couldn't find any such detail. Cab file was taken from Diamond forum on this site.
I run TT 7.910.9185 with WCE map 725.1906 and agree that the street names are too small to read in traffic, behind the wheel. The onscreen keyboard however is just fine, there are two settings small and large.
I have TTN7 installed on my Touch HD, and have inserted the micro sd card from my Polaris that had TTN7 running with purchased v7 (go520) map from TomTom.
I have followed the start up process and when I get to the "select a map" screen, it shows the "Manchester" map I got as a freebie and the "UK & ROI" map I purchased & used on my Polaris. However, when I select either map, TTN7 just closes down. Any suggestions please.
The maps you purchased have been activated for your Polaris only, according to your device ID.
Sorry, but where I find the 7.910 Vga version that see my Htc HD in Tomtom Home?
Thankyou IceMatrix
P.S. Can admin delete the post in software thread
My first android phone. Moving from an Iphone 3g can anyone point me to a good satnav app for android? Tomtom doesn't have an app for android...
Also is Google Navigation available for the UK now? and will it work on the handset?
Co-Pilot is probably the best option currently available - not badly priced either.
Co-pilot all the way - had it on my HTC HD2.. Was fantastic, the Android version is identical.
Someone has tried Igo MyWay ?
I was using Igo8 under winmo and I would like to know if it's approximatively the same?
Been using CoPilot on G1 since its release... Very good satnav and with the Desires processor the slight lag you can get with CoPilot should be a thing of the past...
I've always used TomTom. The only thing I've noticed about Co-Pilot is the lack of a qwerty keyboard option.
Co-pilot is not a standalone application, isn't it?

What do you mean by stand-alone application? You can buy it separately and install it on to mobile phone, just like TomTom and others.
I am currently using iGo MyWay on a PNA with WinMo CE.
I must say I think it is the best navigation software I've ever used. (I've used TomTom, and Garmin before)... but of course this is just my subjective opinion...

I would say the maps are on the phone and the app doesn't need data connection to work So yes, just like TomTom.
Sygic has a very TomTom like interface, great maps, and has an Android platform as well as WM6.5.
The very kind people at CoPilot sent me a download to allow me to switch my CoPilot 8 from WM6.5 to Android - for free. I thought what was great customer relations, so one up for CoPilot!
Sygic is also cross-platform so the version I was using on my HD2 should work on my new Desire. Supposed to be easy to reactivate as it will be used on the same MicroSD card.

Oh, thats a shame, ill try it on tuesday when I get mine
I am also torn between Co-Pilot vs Sygic ... Which one is better, though choice.
For me, price does not really matter. What I want:
- Reliability
- The fastest one to get satellite LOCK
- Updated maps quite often (not necessarily the latest one, but they did update the maps)
I think we can have Co-Pilot trial version ... but unfortunately there is no Sygic in the Market, and I am not sure if we can request trial version.
CoPilot... Now tried and tested on Desire
Just had a play with CoPilot on my Desire and it works like a dream (not as in G1 dream, as in well)... smooth, fast and found no bugs so far...

What version are you using?
Has any body used copilot from the market place on an HTC Desire?
The version I tried before on my hero was rubbish and so I was waiting for TomTom. Now although I would still rather have TomTom I need a satnav and so am happy to pay for a proper copy of copilot but thought I'd check it works on my new Desire but it doesn't. I don't want to waste money so can anybody confirm the copilot UK version on marketplace does work on the new HTC Desire (preferably T-Mobile version to be sure).
Also anybody tried SYGIC (UK version) on the HTC desire. Many Thanks.

Similar reason why I wanted to know the version. There is another post here saying that it does work. Not a bad price.
Hi guys,
Please tell me where can i find igo with 480x800 support. I find 240x320 but it's small at this big screen thx
there is no igo for android which you can buy with a High Resolution, i also hope that there will come something, because i loved it on winmob, currently i use Navigon which runs very smooth and is good.
i like Copilot 8 better
having seen CoPilot on a friends device I'm thinking of converting to it, I'm a big iGo fan but CoPilot.......well its cool
Igo has maps update more often
but i like the Display of CoPilot better is more clean and natural
I used to be devoted to TomTom, but not anymore, after finding CoPilot
CoPilot has more maps updates than TomTom, but Igo beats them all in regards to frecuency of map updates.
I had Igo on my hd2, wasnt too keen on it. Didnt have my address listed in the maps. the house has been here since the 1950s. only a small gripe but it mattered to me. havent decided what to get for my galaxy yet.
Use Motonav. Looks pretty cool but slow menus. But has 80 % of the futures igo has. And uses the same maps as IGO.
Copilot has way to old maps.
Try out NDrive, it has the cleanest UI and is much faster than both Copilot and Mobile Maps.
Hey guys,
I have a problem with file data.gro on my Samsung Galaxy S. I have found the file that contains hi resolution for iGO. I run root explorer and want to copy data.gro to iGO folder.
I can delete the old one, but I can't copy/move the new one. Let us say I can, but the root explorer doesn't copy the file without any warning notification. I have root rights and folder data/data/com.navgo.igo.javaclient is in r/w mode.
any idea?
Thanks
So - which is the definitive GPS app for the i9000 ?
You mentioned like 4 or 5 apps
Thanks guys !
PS : I'm from Europe...

No need if you find motonav for NexusOne that has 800x480
SDCARD folder "Motonav" should be copied/installed in INTERNAL flash.
Maps are pretty small compared with TomTom or nDrive.

Google Maps Navigation. Search for Brut Mode, enables Navigation worldwide and you can also save maps in cache.
I used iGO 8 for windows mobile in my HTC Diamond. It was by far the best navigator I have used and I think I have tried them all.
iGO My Way for android which is only available for 480x320 is exactly the same product as Motonav. Same functionality,, small graphical differences. Unfortunately not even close to iGO 8 functionality. For me Navigon is the best one right now but after using iGO 8 everything is a disappointment...

If bought right now NDrive V10 with all Western Europe Maps for 20 Euros. Maybe it´s interesting for other people. Can be bought directly in the Ndrive app. Found this info in another german forum. Downloading now 2.6GB
Sygic maps 10 works perfectly with the sgs, althought several buttons could get bigger and startup is kinda slow.
