mods told me it was warez and not allowed... although it's posted a few times on this forum and all over xda

i've made a modified tomtom 7.916.9189 cab that incorporates a fix for the bluetooth and the lag as well as auto-rotation. hit me with a PM if you'd like it.

Yes it works perfectly fine on my Sprint TP2. Hasn't caused any BT issues for me.

I got the following from TomTom:

"We do understand your interest in the Navigator 7 software which is available in the Europe. We do need to inform you that this software of Navigator isn't available in the US which won't be offered. You won't be able to purchase the software via the UK web shop due to it's only exclusive for our European customers which in order to buy, you must have a European address. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you."

BTW- It is possible to buy the Europe version of TomTom - it's just a matter of paying the shipping.

I wound up buying the US version of Garmin Mobile XT. It looks like they have a Europe version too. They also have something called Garmin Mobile PC (US & Europe) which is designed to run on a notebook. (I tried using a notebook PC a couple of years ago with Microsoft AutoRoute and it didn't really work that well - the bigger screen was great but having to keep turning to the passenger seat felt pretty dangerous.)

I wish Google would make their product work on non-Android phones...
