Dear all,
Going today to exchange my french version to an english one. But I still have one question about the artemis. Does anyone know how to get hold of all the maps, at least for europe, for the Tomtom software.
Here in Luxembourg we buy the phone with one country map included. You can somehow register on the internet to download this one. But cant I somewhere download all the maps?
Regards,
Johan

You can buy them in a shop if you want more than that one map. Downloading from the internet is either not free or... yes... illegal

If you go to link below you should be able to buy the maps, I think you will have to register to do so?

You must have the tomtom product code first (should be delivered with your artemis, if the map was already loaded).
Otherwise even if you buy maps from TT site, you will not be able to register them.
tom tom 6 uk maps
is anyone got uk or europe maps. i have got tomtom 6 . i would appreciate if someone can email me at [email protected]
Hi,
I installed cube last night.. looks really good so far.
I'm off to the states soon with my XDA Orbit configured with Cube.
Does anyone have any suggestions for using a UK O2 XDA Orbit with Cube while in the states ?? - rather than find out the hard way
Do I need to do anything to use my installed TomTom free?
Thanks
Cube is cube, using it has no relevance to the country you are in.
From personal experience of travelling to the states, if you don't mind the data charges, install Windows Live Search, getting a GPS fix and searching for your nearest Wal-Mart etc is great.
Make sure you turn off any automatic data updates you don't need, ie weather etc.
For Tomtom, obviously you need the appropriate USA maps on your SD card and it's good to go. It found me some amazing shortcuts through Florida, however it also managed to find me a couple of dead ends. Roads change around alot in the states. Don't switch off common sense when switching on Sat Navs.
That's very helpful, especially "install Windows Live Search, getting a GPS fix and searching for your nearest Wal-Mart "
Thanks!
Hi I've got a BlackStone but I can't make the GPS go right!
Which COM should I choose, Which rate? 4800? and in which place: Software or Hardware?
Finally what's the config for googleMaps?
Thank so much...

try com 4, rate 9600.
Forgive me if I understood your problem wrongly. While the HD has built-in GPS it is not supplied with any software or app associated with it for navigating or even for displaying coordinates or compass navigation.
Once you download the Google Maps (which also supports, for some countries the street map display) application onto your device, it will make use of the GPS and show you your position, with moving map display as you drive, quite smoothly and accurately. It will also show your approximate position indoors without GPS (using A-GPS and the cell site ID supporting LBS).
For point to point navigation and voice prompts guess one has to use 3rd party app like Garmin XT, TomTom; but I have not used these.

yes but in the software or in the hardware field?
You need to state what software you are using. If its Google maps just let Windows manage the GPS.
Why doesn't the GPS Photo work. It says that GPS is not active or something. What's up with that?

Thank you, but it doesn't work so!!! What's wrong???
I had the same problem, no one can't help me. Any gps software I used couldn`t find gps reciver, I've tried any combinations with COM ports....nothing. After 1 month and about 10 gps software I removed SIM card....and BINGO!!!! My old SIM card generate problem that nothing can find built-in gps reciver in my Touch HD. Try without SIM card and if it works go to operator and replace to new SIM card
Endow
Not at all
Sorry about this, but your tips does'nt help me:
I removed the SIMcard but the GPS in GOOGLEMAP didn't work anyway!
I tried to let it be managed by windows and to set it on COM4 with 9600bauds but no options succeded!
I can't understand what's wrong!!!
Another thing
Furthermore, when I set up the GPS-params in the params-application of windows mobile 6, the hard port (COM4) I chose isn't recorded by the software!!!
Maybe it's a hint for the answer?
Help me, geeks of HTC!
go to google and download the lastest ver. google map.
try to go to a window or a open space and turn on the google map. press option and try to click use gps , and see any reading on the top right of the map screen.
dont need to adjust any com 4,5,6 things.
once you got a lock on gps. you can close the google map and start to look out for third party nav software. try it.
Mine works perfectly fast at
COM: 4
BAUD: 57600
Im using iGuidance 2009
does ur phone need to go online when activating the gps? my car's gps doesnt need online yet the device can detect its location. however when i use google map, the phone just went online and try to search for my location. not too ideal as i have to pay for every kb sent/recieved.
Ooo
Maybe I will try to refresh the GPRSSettings with the soft designed for it!
I will reply when I'll know further about it...
Mine shows correct location when I set port - Com4 and BAUD: 57600 on Google maps for just a second. Then it jumps to some other continent and says GPS not available and shows the help dialog. Allowing windows to manage gps also gives same results what am i doing wrong?? or is it a limitation of blackstone/google maps app..
Reply
I've tryed what you done but it didn't succeded!
In the GMaps List I see: "COM4:" and there is nothing after the ":" !
When I confirm this update, the soft tell me that he can't found a device on this COM!!!
ok, my settings, com4, bd 4800, let windows manage (which kinda negates any settings before hand) Google maps set to let windows manage. My GPS locks well and always finds plenty of satalites, so i dont understand why you guys are having problems.
Howver, on my polaris with cooked rom, my google maps does misbeahve sometimes when the gps is locked and the map will suddenly say im in hong kong when im in the uk!! (i even unistalled google that was included in rom and downloaded new version from google)
So i believe in my limited wisdom that its probably a rom issue (radio more likely).
What i do have to decide is if the official 1.56 rom is worth flashing or not (still on 1.14)
What you guys think?
Reply
I'm not sure to understand you because I come from Switzerland and I main speek French.
YOu think that it is a ROM version's problem? Which one should I install? (and how to do it ?)
Thanks so much!
P.S.: I don't have changed any ROM or Radio Version in this HTC Touch HD!
I have never fiddled with ROM but I have same issue. google maps jumps continent!! momentarily despite 7 satellites. May be an issue with Google maps itself??

Hi Guys,
I have been following this forum for years, but have never had the need to post til now.
Coming from a G1, I've just made the transition to a glorious Desire on a Orange UK 'Panther' tariff, from Phones4u.
One of the highlights of the tariff is fee access to their Orange Maps app (supposively pre installed), which I'm told is a semi-decent sat-nav software. But I found no reference to it, or any other pre-installed Orange crap on my phone. After spending over 30 mins on the phone with an strong indian accented Orange Rep named 'Ricky' (suprisingly better informed then the usual monkeys*), it seems I was sold a generic Desire phone from Phone4u with none of Orange's pre-installed crap....YESSS!!!
Here is the issue, it seems you cannot get access to the Orange Maps app from a non-orange branded phone. More specifically you can not access h**p://orangeworld.co.uk which has links to download it from a generic phone. Even though i'm paying for the service as part of tariff.... frekkin Toasters!!!**
In my determination to stick it to the man, I have found what may be a solution, but do not know how to apply it to the Desire. The following thread with a non-obvious title: "How to install Orange Maps on non Orange Firmware" (google it, can't hyperlink it, as I'm a new poster), has a solution for a Samsung phone and I'm wondering if I could get it to work on the desire:
The fix.
1) Enter Admin setting menu *#5239870*#
...........
5) goto number 7, UAgent
should look something like this:
SAMSUNG-S8000/S8000
XEII2 SHP/VPP/R5
Jasmine/1.0
Nextreaming
SMM-MMS/1.2.0
.......
change the second line to this:
POIG1 SHP/VPP/R5
so it now looks like this
SAMSUNG-S8000/S8000
POIG1 SHP/VPP/R5
Jasmine/1.0
Nextreaming
SMM-MMS/1.2.0
.....
save and exit.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
what is a uAgent and how do I change it on the Android OS? Will it even fix my issue?
Whilst the maps is a feature I want, I'm not desperate enough to cancel my contract => goto new contract with Orange phone with Orange ROM. So It'd be great if someone could help.
Many Thanks,
Digital_Apoc
Update: Ok so it seems I can't access orangeworld.co.uk via WiFi on my phone but CAN over 3g if I switch off the WiFi??? Still going the the maps page gives me "Sorry byt Orange Maps will not work on your handset...." though the desire is on the support list...

I had that installed for around a day before I flashed my desire with the generic Rom to get rid of all the orange cr4p. If I remember it looked just like google maps which is free unless someone can tell me differently.
I tried to set it up, as it was free, on my Orange branded handset. I kept getting an error about not being able to set it up correctly; this is quite common on this phone it seems. The app itself was installed but the maps would not download/configure correctly.
I rang tech support for another issue and they told me that the phone is listed as not compatible with Orange maps, god knows why it comes installed on their ROM. So until they either update the program (or more likely enabled a flag saying the Desire can use Orange maps) we probably won't be able to download it. That said you might be able to get the apk from somewhere? May just be tech support were lying/drunk
I flashed my handset with a generic ROM to get rid of all the Orange garbage anyway and now I can't even re-install the app itself using the link from Orangeworld (You can text 'Orange Maps' to 247).
I seem to only be able to access the orangeworld portal using a gprs/edge connection, it doesn't like umts it seems. Maybe someone with it stilll installed could try setting it up over a 2g data connection?
Sorry I can't be of more help, good luck =D
I used it when I first got my phone but it was pretty rubbish to say the least, google maps navigation is a much better product.
With Google maps navigation available, what's the point in sticking with Orange Maps providing you don't download more than your FUP permits.
I hate what Orange have done to this phone. The salesman on the phone even lied to me saying that they were using a generic ROM.
Are you sure you can't visit h**p://orangeworld.co.uk on a generic rom? Make sure you go via the Orange APN and not through a wireless network as that is not allowed.
I'm a bit confused by this.
My Orange Desire (I'm on panther) once charged first time, I tried to connected straight to the net and the phone seeked the settings and worked without any intervention. In fact I think it did it right at the beginning when gmail wanted to synch.
A few hours later I debranded, and upon reboot.. the same thing, was all automatic.

yes this ^
why do you need to go to orangeworld anyway? there's nothing of any value there
Orange Maps
You don't say but I assume yo're in the UK? FWIW I tried the Orange App and it wasn't a patch on the updated Google Maps with Navigation. It was sloooow and poor definition. So IMHO, forget it!
The commets about only connecting to Orange World through the 3G I can also confirm, but I have no idea why they'd want to do that...?
I agree use google maps navigation, coming from using TomTom on WinMo I prefer Google Nav, only thing I miss is the speed camera updates and custom voices, the google one is crap
If you live in a country that does not have Local Scout in Mango (e.g. Canada)
Set your phone to English US in settings - region + languages. It'll then restart your phone and you'll have access to local Scout.
Just did that and it works (I am in Montreal, Canada for the record). Before that I did not had local scout nor bing audio icon in search.
I did that and bing audio icon is still missing..
Always had the local scout icon since the beginning though...
Does this mean that these features are going to be USA market only? Again like the voice search is currently?
If so, massive fail and i'd be really annoyed.
I have no clue about that but the fact that it works (data is available at least) is a good sign. I used to only have an eye and a mic icon. And now I have a town icon (Local Scout) and a music note (Shazam like search).
btw Local Scout is pinnable so you can easily know what's around you on the go.
You can get the local scout option to appear, but doesn't mean it'll find anything.
Here is China it finds nothing nearby, so I've turned off all location based searches - pointless if Bing doesn't have info on the country.
I've tried this, and can only get local scout to work. I'm in canada as well. I really wish bing audio worked, shazam takes forever to load.
yup, if you set "use my location" as ON from bing search option, local scout icon will appear, although it doesn't necessarily mean it will find anything around your region.
local scout finds nothing in my area too (surabaya, indonesia) because it is not supported region
getting bing audio is still mystery for me. However, a friend of mine in my region (indonesia) told me that he has bing audio icon on his by setting up region as US.
Mine is developer unlocked and did the mango update the official way. His is not. Maybe it is different mango build???????
Just set your Browser & Search Language to English US.
I'm living in Indonesia and Bing Audio just worked. I leave my Region and System Locale and the other to Indonesia. Successfully identified "Party Rock Anthem (LMFAO)", "Price Tag (Jessie J)", "Bounce (Calvin Harris)", "Give Me Everything (PitBull)", etc.
Of course, Nearby would return nothing, since I'm sure there're no data for this country yet.

just did this, restart device and bing audio is still missing... Any other suggestions?
strange ... maybe it's device specific bug. mine is dev-unlocked focus.
After switching to English US everything is available and seems to work in Germany. I've testet music search(like Shazam) and works. Local search works also and finds everything in my location. So Germany might getting additional options for Bing. But it wouldn't surprise me so much as windows phone has a bigger market share in Germany than elsewhere in the world.
Hmm.. I am using mozart, but another bloke is using mozart in indonesia and his got bing audio too..
This is weird that changing these settings is working for some people, but not others, I can't get bing audio either, I'm in Canada too.
Maybe it is because I've set up my Zune account as US even if I live in Canada, my computer is set to English US too.
That's possible seeing as how some of the zune services aren't available here in canada.
iam done wid this...thanks a lot..juz changing the region and languge gives u many more options..thanks a lot
Doesn't seem to work if you Pin Local Scout to your start screen.
Shows no location data available for me, yet going into Bing, then tapping local scout works.
In canada, btw.
