TP2 GPS Mapping programs

0Gravity · #1 (**permalink**) 07-02-2010, 09:47 PM

Hi All,
I am totally bummed....I had my TP replaced by a TP2 by Assurian, and I was REALLY excited about the upgrade, but I am now in the process of loading all my tried and true Apps that I am used to using, only to find out that the one I used the most TomTom Navigator, no longer works on the TP2! Am I missing something? I have looked to see if there is an upgraded version but I can't seem to find one? Is the TP2 NOT supported by TTN? If not what would you all suggest as a worthy replacement for TTN, I would like a program that does NOT need the memory card to be swapped everytime I wish to use it!

Thanks,
Mike

have you tried bing or google maps? they both are free, and not too shabby.

Yes I have Google Maps installed, but it does not compare even a little, to TomTom....I am soooo going to miss my TT!!

Could it be as simple as having to register the new device? I've got garmin on mine and loaded to the sd card and have no issues using it, and don't swap my card out either.

I recall some posts when the TP2 first came out about GPS lag and TT. Is that your issue or something else?

Not true GPS programs, of course. I'll use them for casual nav in a familiar area. But I use Garmin for routes, waypoints, etc.

Not free. But at this point they have no US distributor.

Hey Mike, how badly do you want your TOMTOM back. There are soluations to most of life's problems on the internet. Do a google search where there is a will you will find a way. That is all I will say. If you want your TOMTOM back bad enough you will find it.

I have had my touch pro 2 replaced many times. I paid for TOMTOM and believe me I was not happy when I found out it was not working. So I went online and found a work around solution to my problem. If you ask the right questions you will find the right answers. But for starters download the cab in my signature line that might fix your problem. Because your registeration information should still be on your sd card. This version also has eliminated most of the lag time. The program works for TOMTOM 7 and 8 maps. Good luck finding a solution to your problem.

Hi All,
Thanks for the suggestions!
Jamice4u THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I have a feeling that is exactly what I needed.....I know what you mean I paid good money for this program from TomTom and was REALLY pissed when I found out they were no longer supporting it for the newer PDA's! I had searched out on the net for a "Fix" and had tried a couple files that did not work and kinda gave up! It is sometimes really hard to weed through all the BS on the net, so thanks again!
