Hi Jamice,

Thanks

I spent time looking and I can't find anything too. I found this on HTC's site, does this help ?

My TP2 is on it's way, and use Tomtom 7+ on my titan all the time and I was planning on moving it over. I will not be a happy camper if I can't get it working on my newer phone

Any real answer will this help ???

I am using Waze. www.waze.com It's in it's early development stage for the us but I think it works well.

Get the file in Jamice's link as suggested....after that I had to get new maps, and all is working fine now....I do have the Lag issue, but I have not tried any of the fixes for it yet, It does not bother me that much! If you have any trouble getting it working let me know!

I use Copilot Live8 for my GPS Navigation. It was $30 which was a lot cheaper than most of the other paid for Nav programs. It works flawlessly with one exception. I like to listen to Audio-books while on the road and Copilot will freeze the Audio playback between every chapter of the Audio-book so I had to resort to my Sansa for this purpose but over all I would definitely recommend Copilot.

I did grab the fixed TT and with a e-mail to TT support, my new maps work fine (got them a few months ago). I still have a problem with lag.

I also have incar nav (bad logic tho, so I prefer to use tomtom time to time.

When traveling with the downloaded version of TT, I will pass the road, then about 2 seconds later, TomTom shows me passing the road. It might be fine on some back roads/areas where roads are far apart but, in a city, it would be almost worthless.

Is there a way to get it more accurate ? Or is there anything I can do here ?

Funny, I had TomTom working flawless on a XV6800 with less than 5 second locks 95% of the time(agps) and no lag, on a phone that does not support GPS from the provider and the new GPS supported phone lags...I'm lost...

Any idea ?

TTN definitely works on the TP2... there are multiple threads on it even in this forum... the only issue was getting TTS to work and there is a long thread on that solution... I personally prefer Garmin XT but have used TTN in the past on a TP2... also, the new Bing, if you have not tried it, has turn-by-turn directions now, including TTS, is free, and works reasonably well actually... at least worth a quick look while you're sorting out your TTN issues...
