Tomtom on Kaiser?

Hello,
anyone who has Tomtom working on the Kaiser?
The application runs, but recognizes no maps, allthough the Western Europe Map is present...
Greetz,

Yes, I have got Tomtom 6 running on Kaiser and using the latest 6.75 maps and it works perfect.

Great! Can you tell me how you did it?
Maybe I should rename the directory of the Western Europe map on my SD, but I don't know how it should be named...
Thanks!

It works! I renamed the map a few times, and suddenly it was recognized!
Thanks anyway!

How is the GPS in acquiring a GPS fix?
Is it quick?
Thanks,
HJ

If you check the box carefuly, you'll find disk with tomtom app. The version there is newer thet anything you can get elsewhere, but only works with kaiser...
Tomtom Navigator 6.032!!!

You can't download it. It is included on the CD. Aside from that, TT 6.032 does not work on other devices, it will simply refuse to install.
As far as the fix is concerned, as I already mentioned in another thread, it's really a lot quicker than on the Trinity (Qcomm) or x7500 (Sirf III) and also a lot more sensitive (7 bars on the dinner table compared to 0 for the x7500)

Got my kaiser yesterday, used the tomtom this morning on the way to work , the lock on time was about the same as my sirfiii external unit around 90ecs, was only get around 3-4 sats though so weaker than the external unit. I was not using quick gps fix either.
I will see how it goes as i can always use the external unit with it anyway. handy to have it all built in though.
device seems very responsive compared to my vario II.
time will tell.

Actually, you should be able to manually replace the .exe of 6.032 over a 6.030 install...

where on the cd is the tomtom cab? I looked at each folder on both cd's that came with the kaiser and nothing. Any chance someone can send me the file? I will proof I do own tomtom maps and a kaiser, please pm.

It is called "Installer_Kaiser_ttn_6_032_8351_HTC_WWE_20070716.exe" on my cdrom, yours should be the same. The cdrom also has the tomtom logo on it as well.
I have had mine freeze twice now whilst using it, i think it may have something to do with the traffic subscription as i have just had that transferred over to my new kaiser, before it was fine with tomtom. Will continue testing to see how frequent this becomes....

It appears that there are two versions of the applications disk. Can HTC's TomTom app be downloaded from their site?

boy, if some kind sould could put this up someplace...

well i guess seeing as it cannot be installed on any other device apart from the Kaiser I dont see any reason not to post it up as no one apart from Kaisers owners can install it anyway.
Obviously if this causes an issue i will remove it immediately....
HERE

Thx Zomig. Much appreciated!

Thanks! Just need to wait for the 8925 release now and see if there's anything else we're missing.
-Mc

Hmmm....McHale- I doubt that AT&T will be releasing Tomtom with their units...

I'm sure they're not. I actually meant if they cripple the device in any way like removing the front camera. I still haven't seen an official release that says it has GPS.

TomTom or other GPS Software

Anyone able to get TomTom 6 to work on the Kaiser? I get an error that its not a valid PDA. If TomTom is not compatible is their any other program that people Recommend for GPS? I just dont want to pay monthly for Telenav. I appologize if this was a thread already but i did not see one regarding it.
Thanks!

tomtom 6.030 is working for me. Haven't tried 6.032. The software is awesome. Only complaint is loading up GPS is slow, but that shouldn't be tomtom's fault.

Take a look at: http://www.expansys.nl/ft.aspx?k=100176

Anybody with Kaiser from T-Mobile Netherlands, does it come with TomTom?
I can't find it on the supplied CD(it came with one cd).
Am I missing something or I should start bothering T-Mobile for what's mine?

I have a post on XDA with tomtom working on the tilt. I included a link to the cab.

I'm currently using Igo which is a nice piece of software. I've only just started using it, having moved over from tomtom. It looks better, but I've not done any rigorous testing to see how complete it is. Time will tell.

T-Mobile doesn't include TomTom with the Kaiser on their cd.
Only the unbranded Kaiser has this software.

I really like Windows Live Search (wls.live.com). So much so that I removed Google Maps and TomTom from my device.

i use iGuidance 4 which works very good in my area (chicago) I also like the voice prompts...i don't think tomtom has the text to voice prompts in it...i think you have to add it in...

I was thinking of giving this a try. Tom Tom is OK, but I liked my Garmin XT better but it ONLY works with the supplied external GPS receiver. They have a version coming out that allows you to use an on board GPS, but they have chosen to lock down the next version to a supplied memory card. And on top of it, they are essentially forcing anyone who bought the Mobile XT product to pay full price again for this draconian action. Not very customer friendly. Since when has limiting choice been a positive selling point, especially with the Windows Mobile Community which is used to an open platform. They don't get it. I'll live with second best if it comes down to it.

Bij de mda vario 3 zit standaard geen tomtom geleverd. Ik heb tomtom v6.1 geinstalleerd en liep gelijk. blijf wel van de interne settings van de gps af! Zodra je tomtom geinstalleerd hebt, kies dan voor nmea en de rest gaat van zelf. Miomap v3.3 en navigon 6 werken na instalatie ook gelijk.

When i try to install TomTom with the listed cab file from the other post. I get the error " Unable to install application please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again" Its a brand new tilt i got in the mail yesterday running ATT software. Any way i can get a work around for this? I am pretty new to the HTC family so im gona be honest i dont know how to manipulate the phone very well, but i really want to get TomTom on my phone.
Thanks in advance

i'm also using iGO 2006 + in the US... much better graphics, features and POIs compared to TomTom... on par with TomTom from a navigational perspective.

Hello Uppity,
Sorry to hear you are having so many issues. I hard reset my device after the initial "start-up" that took place at the AT&T store. I understand that the Tilt does not have the external ROM that the previous HTC devices had so if you hard reset the device some of the restrictions/changes AT&T built into or removed from the device are either not loaded or now become available. An example of this is the "Internet Sharing application was not available on my Tilt with the initiial AT&T ROM loaded from the store but after my hard reset it was available and more importantly enabled me to tether my laptop to the Tilt and use it as a modem.
I suspect AT&T may have also blocked the loading of other GPS software in an effort to use their $10 a month telenav.
I have tomtom 6 loaded on my device and it works without any issues. You may want to try to hard reset your device and then try to load tomtom6
Can't say for sure if this will work, but I have not had any issues with loading/running tomtom 6.

I use iGuidance 3 (haven't spent the money to upgrade to 4 yet) and I'm very happy with it.

Cortezzi, where did you find maps for the US for Igo? I went to their website and all I can see is European maps.

I got my tilt on launch day (2.5 weeks ago?) and that cab has been proven to work on many tilts. make sure you have the right cab that i posted and if not maybe try installing the tilt ROM that people have posted. when doing a rom, make sure you read because you can brick your phone

PM and i will tell you

I would like to obtain them LEGALLY. If you know how to direct me to them so that I can purchase them, or otherwise download them compliant with Igo's Terms of Use, you can tell me here.
Thanks.

Orange TNTY II

I have recently purchased an Orange TNTY II which did not come with the Tom Tom Software and would like to know where to buy it from. Have seen that the HTC site has it for £70 but states that it can only be use=d on one particular screen so am a little lost as to where I can get the full european maps from. Can anyone help please

well, I've just got my TyTN II this morning, and haven't installed Tom Tom yet, but had it on my Universal which I bought from www.tomtom.com - it installs through the TomTom home application which you can download to your PC.
hope this helps.

There are, of course, always "other ways" of getting TomTOM
And for your benifit (i.e. when searching), the phone is called "TYTN II" not "TNTY"

Thanks for the help guys and apologies for calling it the TNTY and not the TYTN. I have dyslexic fingers when I type.
Will see what I can find out from various sites.
Cheers and take it easy

Tom Tom v6 Navigator - OK with Kaiser?

Hi All - I can see a few post about the above software. Tom Tom are saying that V6 Navigator is not officially compatible with the Kaiser. Can I assume because there are manly positive posts about it here that it DOES work OK on the device?
I'm with O2 and although they sell (and I've bought) 'Co-Pilot', I been having a few problems with it triggering the message 'the server has been reset...blah...blah...all your data needs to be resynchronised' when I try and sync the device with Outlook. The resyncing is a L-o-n-g process and it wipes out all my quick dials too - ouch!) Co-Pilot Support have confirmed it's a known problem on some devices..so I'm not looking to fix this as O2 are sending me a credit)
Thanks

I got the "o2 Stellar" yesterday and TomTom 6 works fine.. Just find which com port the GPS is assigned to in Start -> Settings -> External GPS .. Then just assign TomTom to that com port via the configuration - I used "Other NMEA GPS Receiver" but I dont think it matters which option you choose aslong as you choose the right port.

TomTom 6 works brilliantly well on my "Stellar".

Got TomTom working on my AT&T Tilt. Pick other GPS receiver, Baud 9600, COM4.

Well, seeing as HTC sell the Tytn II with a trial version of Tomtom, you would rather expect it to work!

Got tomtom v6 working perfectly fine on my tilt with duttys v3 rom. Like posted above, most likely its com 4. Initial start takes about 30 seconds but after that full blast reception.

TomTom is not trial, it's special Kaiser full version.

The Tytn II ships with a "Taster" edition of TomTom 6 (version 6.032). Thus I expect TomTom support the platform
Actually I have a "Pukka" copy of the "Navigator 6 software and maps of western Europe", and have raised a few calls about the software (the version on my CD shipped with V6.010, so I asked for latest specifying my exact device, and was pointed to the "downloads" area of tomtom website (version 6.030 is there))
I'm with O2 and although they sell (and I've bought) 'Co-Pilot', I been having a few problems with it triggering the message 'the server has been reset...blah...blah...all your data needs to be resynchronised' when I try and sync the device with Outlook.

T-Mobile now offer Co-Pilot with its Tytn II varient (MDA Vario III)
Having had a quick "play" with a co-pilot system, it looked fancier (and has a better "Licensing" policy than tomtom) however I preferred the TomTom software (my Girlfriend has an old TomTom Go)
I have TomTom traffic and Safety camera's options purchase and find these excellent
If you can test co-pilot you might prefer it. I preferred tomtom

Always worked flawlessly on my HTC Kaiser, never messed with gps settings either

Tom Tom and Co Pilot
Thanks everyone. I'm going to purchase Tom Tom as Co Pilot caused a few serious problems on my Stellar

But you should have TomTom already if you own Kaiser device...

true... plus, there's always *other* ways of getting TOMTOM

Older version also works, but the 6.032 has "Build-in GPS receiver" option. In older you need to manually set it up as other NMEA receiver. In Poland EraGSM (soon to be T-Mobile) provide Vario III with full version of TT6 with regional maps.

I'm running TomTom that's "for the Trinity" from HTC e-club. I used the same thing on my Trinity and it auto picked up the internal, and has internal GPS setting. On my Tilt, this option is not available, but picked other, baud 9600, com 4 and it works nice and fast

tomtom 6
Hey all, been running tomtom 6.032 on my o2 Stellar with absolutly no problems at all!! It is by far the best sat nav for pocket pc. I have tried most programs out there but tomtom wins hands down for speed, stability and performance.. 10/10

I agree duncstar- have tried iGo and Navigon but TomTom is far quicker and more stable.
Out of interest, can someone calify the differences between the TomTom Taster and regular TomTom?

No its not - its not special in any way. You have to buy any of the maps you wish to use (except for the 'free' city map they give you).

I installed TomTom Navigator 6 V6.010 with 6.75 US/Canada maps into my Tilt...everything works except one feature in the point of interest. It doesn't list nearby "stores" in the Los Angeles. Only show Apple etc. stores that are in the east coast, what gives? What can I do to fix this? thanks

Thanks for help

Thanks Duncstar for your help. Especially as you're an O2 user in the UK too Thanks also to everyone else who offered advice and pointed me in the right direction. I did read some stuff about 'maps not showing up'. Duncstar - Did yours work literally 'straight out of the box'?

I have an imported Kaiser here in the US. Tom Tom works perfectly. I bought the usa/canada maps from amazon for $125. Installed it and no issues. I did have to select the gps, used 57,000 baud, com 4 and it's great.
There's also a "quick gps" application on your phone. Use it to help zero in the gps even better. It wants to run once a week.
I also bought and installed the Mr. T voice and I'm officially the biggest nerd on my block now. Turn Right Sucka!
Oh yeah, I"m not sure which version of TT6 was on my kaiser. When I installed the purchased software, it loaded up version 6.010. I had to go to tom tom's website and download the 6.030 version.

Kaiser P4550 with TomTom Rider/Go

Hi there,
I'm new here, since I just got my new HTC Tytn II and registered here for info etc.
Although the Tytn II did replace my old Nokia 6680 and iPaq H3970 for some functions, I can't get it to work with my TomTom Rider 2nd Edition Europe.
I used the TomTom Rider with my Nokia to be able to make and receive phonecalls while on my motorbike.. always had fun with it. But now.. sigh!...
I tried everything, installed the BT_DUN.cab and copied the modemlink files into the Windows folder of my Tytn II.. but no results..
is the WM6 + Tytn II combo crap or is there another workaround/fix update orso?
Thank in advance..
Little_Bear

Tested the Kaiser with a Garmin Zumo tonight.. worked flawlessly.. so should be an issue with TomTom?
Anyone? plzzzz...

Seems like I stand completely alone in this issue.. although.. on the forum here..
I have been calling with TomTom support for a few times.. and they are not giving any comment on this problem. I talked to a supervisor of the support-department and he said the development department wo'nt give any information about if they are working on this not-want-to-pair trouble with the TytN II and TomTom Go-Rider combo.
Since the TytN II does pair with a Garmin Zümo and even the phonebook synchronisez perfectly (where most of the Symbian phones don't) I also talked to the Dutch HTC support department about this if maybe they could work something out.
Garmin did provide a softwareupdate for their Zümo devices, where before that time the TytN II wouldn't connect to the Zümo as well.
Anyone with enough technical knowledge who has ideas about this? I really don't like to sell my Rider 2nd Edition for only maybe 200 Euros and have to buy a brandnew Zümo for 575 Euros, where I still have to buy an optional bluetooth Cardo Rider for my helmet, since TomTom Rider comes with one.

Anyone?
Tried everything so far.. nothing..
I just can't believe this sjit.

always best to do trial and error with gps providers before sticking to 1 or 2 and forking money over for nothing
