yes. try google maps mobile (google for it) or TomTom or iGo 8, and there are a lot of other GPS software out there use google (eg. ppc gps)

quick gps downloads the newest satellite position information so you get a quicker GPS fix, so you get are faster GPS lock. not necessary but for faster availability of your position.

TomTom is only preinstalled on O2 devices, otherwise just install it. You can find preinstalled software under start menue programs.

TomTom 6 update for Trinity

Hi you all,
As many of you, I have suffered those TomTom 6 hang ups, and I've seen that TomTom has a particular update for our Trinity
http://www.tomtom.com/support/index.php?FID=6741&Lid=6
But I don't have any TomTom home so I can't download that update.
Does any of you (kind people ) have access to that file?.
If affirmative, please share it with us.
Thanks in advance

Check that you don't have any junk files in your tomtom folders (from SD card problems). Mine is working very well after these files where removed...

That is not a fix its a workaround. The problem needs fixing as other versions of TT did not have this problem.

I'm using that version, and haven't got any crash until now.
I'm using it too and it's OK. If you're interested in POIs (Point of Interests) for Portugal you can find here: http://www.portalppc.com/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=41&PN=0 endless addons. Include speed radar, restaurants, and alot (I mean alot) of other interesting informations.
I have been using version 6.010 since the day I enabled GPS on my Trinity and never really have had any issue (knock on wood). The TomTom software I have is a upgrade version I purchased for a discount price upgrading from version 5 to version 6.

TomTom and other maps...

I have a feeling that this will become quite a discussed post. The *taster* version of TT that comes with the Kaiser allows you to download only one map - and the selection is limited.
I have a TomTom Go in my car and was wondering if I can use the map data from there? I have all of Western Europe. Obviously I'll need a memory card capable of holding it but the real question is - can you use TT Go maps on TT Mobile?
R
I suspect that the maps are attached to a particular device.
Depends on the map version you have.
I guess the Kaiser has a version 6 Tomtom. Therefore you need at least map designed for that version.
In general the maps for the Go and the WM versions of TomTom are identical. Theoretically it should work.
BUT:
Apart from that you also need a device specific activation code belonging to the map/device combination. Your maps are obviously allready activated for your Go, so you cannot activate them on a second device.
Maybe the TomTom helpdesk (forum on their site) can help you out.
Taster version of TomTom with Kaiser......is it possible to uninstall it so that I can install my own tomtom which I have got on my current sd card in trinity, as it is activated and with all maps? I mean, is this tatser verison included in ROM or is it removable from settings?
Thanks

I believe i noticed in the "retail TyTN II unboxing" video, that TomTom resides on a CD with applications in the box.... So that would mean you have to install it yourself, and in that case you can go with your own full copy of TomTom...
What i would like to know is, if version 6.030 from my Trinity will run smoothly on the Kaiser...???

tomtotm isnt on the rom. so there will be no need to uninstall anything. just put your version on and use it. its supplied on the software disk. I'll be putting my own version of tomtom onmine when i get my micro sd card hopefully tomorrow
but the version on the CD Rom is the latest (6.0.32)
the 6.0.32 version of TTN6 is specific for WM devices with built-in GPS, like the Kaiser.
So, best option is to use the app from the kaiser package and your own maps.
I think you can just copy the map folder from the TomTom Go to an microSD card and see if it is working.
I bet it is.

Legally? No. TomTom licenses you maps per device, so what you have is licensed to your GO.
Practically? Yes. You'll need one of the many keygens out there....
Can you nav guys help. I've never used GPS with my TyTN. I'm considering a TyTN II and have some questions.
Can you use the built in GPR without an external antennae with Google Maps with the TyTN II? Or do you need the TomTom or other software?
I like using Google maps.

You don't need an antenna or extra software like tomtom. Sometimes it's a bit fiddly setting up the ports to use to get say Google Maps or other software to see the inbuilt GPS - but you get there in the end!

Mike:
Thanks again for your reply. I think I may pick up the TyTN II here pretty quickly. I just wanted to hear that the built in GPS actually does something.

What port are you using in Googlemaps? I've left it at auto, which doesn't work :S
Thanks!
People said that Googlemaps is not so friendly with long waiting to get satelite fix. So, Googlemaps tend to disconnect and wont tell you anything.
The workaround (not nice btw), is to start TomTom to get satelite fix, then quit.
After that Googlemaps will be able to connect to the GPS and works fine.
But, sorry for asking, what are the good things of Googlemaps compare to, let say TomTom or Route66, etc. Of course, it is FREE, but other than that?
Is Googlemaps available for all continent (Europe?) ?
bear in mind that google maps is an API, not just a web site.
It is possible to write location sharing apps etc for google maps, a mobile interface would be very cool.
Guys where on earth is the tomtom cab file for version 6? I only got 2 cd's, 1 applications which only has 3 apps (but not tomtom) and the starter cd which I did look all over? Is there more than 2 cd's?

Thanks.

I don't have Tomtom6 on any CDs either , I got the units from SuperiorGadgets, they are HTC Tytn II. And I tried Mapopolis, map4pda, igo 2007, Destinator 6, none can see GPS.
What is the hardware port? I checked the GPS CP app, it shows COM4: as software, none for hardware. I tried couple of settings there, none worked so far.

Kaiser gps on htc startrek

hi! this is my first question on this forum...
I have a Kaiser and a startrek.... can I use Tomtom on my startrek using the kaiser's gps (with bluetooth connection)? If is possible, how can I do?
thx!!!
Out of the box, no.
I've heard of applications to share the GPS via Bluetooth, but to be honest, why would you want to?
Why dont you just use TomTom on the Kaiser?
i believe you can accomplish that with gpsgate, but then like jwbrint says, why dont you just use tomtom on the kaiser

+1 on that its the easier option
I've just installed the WM6.1 Professional on startrek and i wish try tomtom or sygic or other.... on it, but I haven't an external gps and don't want buy it only for this.... so I'll try "gpsgate"... THX!
PS: Is there a tutorial for this?

i heared that tomtom or igo won't work with a-gps?
is there any software or way to use gps without internet or must i use a new rom?
thanks in advance =)
any gps software, doesn't use internet. i have igo and miomap installed on my jade, and everything is fine.
do i have to flash the rom to use it or not?
you don't have to flash any rom. you have to install the application, and then will work. i can help you with igo settings if you need them (it's possible not to work from the first time).
oh thank you =)
Yes please so i can try it tomorrow^^
give me your email address please.
MOD EDIT: Changed e-mail addy to save you from spam bots
i've sent you the archive, but, you will have to complete some files. I mean, map in content/map and language in content/lang because i didn't know what map you need and what language are you using. I've put as default english voice.

for me is working so fine. is not working 4u? if not, please tell me the error (remember, to put the language files, voice files, and map file).
I have the same problem, I'll try these ... thanks

iGo Amigo for Kaiser

Does anyone have any experience of getting iGo Amigo working with their Kaiser? TTS?
works fine...
but i had to turn off "assisted gps" function. Not tried TTS.
Thanks rothod.
TTS is what I'm looking for. Can you try it?
Also, have you previously used iGo 8? If so, do you find Amigo better, or worse?
Works very well for most aspects. Updated graphics and new interface. TTS works perfectly. Major 'bug' of backlighting controlled by Windows with no override by program. Can use on 8.3 maps.

The display a bit more cartoonish - more like Garmin's than the clean iGo8.3. TTS a bit more precise in pronounciation, and more courteous - lots more "Please turn" etc. Too chatty for my liking.
Still prefer iGo8.3
Amigo has less options
Hmmm.. thanks lads.
Going to install iGo 8 then. This is what I've been using on my trusty (old) Mio 269+ for months mow, and I love it.
Was going to use Amigo on my HTC TyTN II (when I eventually receive the device!), but I think I'll put iGo 8 on it instead.
Anyone know how to get amigo to run from today screen if i copy exe to phone it will not load. cheers

IGO 8.3.2.64873 With TTS - OK
Hi all
I have the PDACorner X-V1 and I just installed the iGO 8.3.2.64873 with TTS files, and it seems to be working, I heard the TTS voice when I choosed my language, and iGO is now running.
I have both working on my Tilt fine. Amigo is nice, however iGO8 will still be my primary GPS program.
iGo8.3.2.64873 -
IS there a solution on how to make IGO find the satellites faster ?? i read many comments from others in this forum but somehow i could not find any proper answer.
IGO6 plus it is finding the satellites very fast when comparing these two..
comments/advice it will be appreciated.

No, it's not allowed as it falls under warez. Plus, it doesn't even come in cab form.
