Guest Malt_Vinegar Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I have google maps working brilliantly, but my old version of Tom Tom (5?) has graphical errors making it all but useless. I want to buy v7, but its not on the supported list, and wanted to know if anyone who already has 7 has tried it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Garfy Squirrell Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 TomTom7 is working on the TG01, Fullscreen, Landscape or Portrait Mode. I just tried to install a Tomtom Navigator 7 and I only get an error message stating that the device is not compatible with TomTom. I bought it hearing that the O2 German version ships with it so assumed it would work. Anyone know any work arounds to get it installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest m2o2 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I've got TG01 from german O2 and have instaled TT 7 without any problem. It runs but I can't use it ! I always have the announcement of the lack of the GPS device. I've set COM 2 in Start->settings->System->External GPS->Programs In TT GPS settings -> another GPS NMEA->4800 b/s->COM 2 and OK I just tried everything - this same result. Any idea ? @Gary Squirrell My TT is 7.915.9196 and your ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Garfy Squirrell Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 In searching for a solution for me I have seen that many people in Germany have used a programme called GpsGate which manages the gps on the TG01 to allow use with Tomtom 7. That may solve your problem. However I'm with Orange UK and I can't even get TomTom to install as it just tells me the device isn't compatible. Don't know what version it is.

Any idea ? @Gary Squirrell My TT is 7.915.9196 and your ? Follow these steps and it will work fine. ;) Following those instructions worked for me and TomTom. 1. Windows Mobile: Settings - System - external GPS > Com 4 (x) 2. GPS Gate: Settings - Input > Com 4 (x) 3. GPS Gate: Settings - Output > create virtual Com Port 4. GPS Nav: choose the virtual Com Port The O2 Version came with a preinstalled Testversion of "CoPilot" btw.

Guest pcmarcel Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) TomTom7 is working on the TG01, Fullscreen, Landscape or Portrait Mode. ;) I am trying to install (7.450.9028 VGA version and 7.910.9128 QVGA version) and all it does is spinning around with no progress in progressbar at all. Is there something I'm missing that I need to do before installing. I try to install with a 16GB microSD and the device is reading everything fine. Never mind, got it working after installing MS NET CF. Edited July 22, 2009 by pcmarcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SinSilla Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I really don´t know whats happening on your TG01, i´m using Version 7.450.9028 as well. But i´m not using a HTC Version, i guess that might be the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pcmarcel Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Thanks SinSilla, but got it working after installing MS NET CF. Maybe that was the problem. Now let's see if the GPS is detected ;) And.... works great. And GPS Tuner also. So... no problems here and me very happy with my Handy :D Edited July 22, 2009 by pcmarcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Garfy Squirrell Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Just sent my tomtom back to Handster (Who were very good with a no problem return and refund) I tried with GPSGate and MS C Framework 3.5. Still saying my device is not compatible and not installing at all. I'm been trying to get my Htc Diamond Co-Pilot to install. It installs okay, but the screen is all wrong, and I haven't managed to get the GPS working (Although not tried too hard) I'm wondering if Orange has sabotaged it intentionally seeing as the TG01 ships with their own Navigation programme. But they expect £5-£7.50 a month subscription for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest m8mbl Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Garfy, I am on Orange and Tomtom 7.9 (i think) does work with GPSGate not ideal but does work. MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Garfy Squirrell Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I contacted the Co-Pilot support and they were excellent. They allowed me to deactivate my old copy for the Diamond. They gave me links for downloading the necessary files for the TG01 And good instructions on how to install. I'm now up and running with Co-Pilot, traffic services are as good but at least I have a sat nav for the time being. I'll wait and see what happens wit TomTom Cheers for your help all.

Guest leeston2379 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Sorry if this is old news but, TomTom 7.910 is out and is more WVGA friendly. Keyboards are much easier to use in portrait mode and version 8 maps now work. Its is available as a free upgrade through tomtom home and other sources (google).

Guest xdalover Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I've been using TOMTOM for ages, but I've tested IGO8 and , since then , it's my choice. In my opinion, much btter than TOMTOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Neil5459 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Yes I didn't- iGO8 just ran and found the GPS immediately, and got a 3D fix within about 20 seconds. Just tried CPL8 as well- likewise it immediately found the GPS and got a fix. I did have some trouble with Google Maps- didn't find any satellites until I's turned off, then back on the auto detection in GM's settings.

Mine doesn't seem to be able to find internal gps without GPSGate. cheers Mine's still the default- Program set at GPD9, Hardware GPS <none> and Baud 4800, then Access ticked. I didn't have to do anything else- CPL8 found a signal immediately, as did iGO8 using automatic settings. CPL doesn't show which parameters are current and I have removed iGO8 for the time being, so can't view the settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest justj Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I can confirm that Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.20 works for TG01 with it's default setting without the need of GPSGate. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
