Best GPS Software for TP2

Hey Everyone,

Im going nuts atm, I've been using Igo8 for my GPS needs up until recently (The TTS stopped working as of MR's latest ROM) and I've been wondering,

Does TomTom work yet? Have they found a fix?

If not, whats the GPS software you all use?

Re: Best GPS Software for TP2

tomtom works, but it has a lag in GPS of about 10 seconds. i'm currently using Iguidance 2009 and it works great (until i can get tomtom running perfect)

I've been using tomtom and have tested it on several roms on my tp2, works excellent with any current energy rom, also i believe mighty mikes, about to test on DomSim rom yay... There were a couple roms it wasn't working with very well at first but it was gps issue all together not tomtom.

While tomtom seems to be slow to lock on first use after that its smooth and fast 0 lag for me!!!

version 7.4.x

How are you using tomtom on tp2? i have tomtom 6 and i am able to install it but cant run it due to some error that has to do with the memory (i think it has to do with the screen resolution) did you have to install a patch or some kind of fix? please let me know.

Re: Best GPS Software for TP2

I got this from TomTom a couple of weeks ago:

"Thank you for contacting TomTom. We appreciate the time you have taken to contact us regarding the NAVIGATOR 6 software. We are happy to help.

Unfortunately at this time, due to hardware and/or software issues, the HTC Touch PRO is not compatible with our NAVIGATOR 6 software. We do understand your frustration, and we do apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused. Please be aware that TomTom is committed to making our navigation software compatible with as many devices as possible.

For your convenience, we have provided a direct link to the list of compatible devices for Navigator 6:

http://www.tomtom.com/products/features.php?ID=282&Category=2&Lid=4

You are correct in seeing only the Tytn2. There are a few reasons for this. The first is that technically the other phones that you had been using where never deemed compatible. In order for a phone to be added to the list..it must work 100% of the time without problems. (we are happy to hear that it worked with your phone, but there were a lot that did not work)

In regard to the newer phones, we are no longer actually making NAVIGATOR 6 software. We still support it for the compatible phones, but we are no longer adding newer phones, as most will not work anyway. ( the platform of the phones have become so advanced in the last few years, that most will not work)

With that being said, we are no longer producing newer maps for this software.If you are wanting to get the maps for Europe, you will need to use version 6.65 or 6.75. These maps are almost 3 years old. "

Sounds like a big fat raspberry from TomTom...

TomTom 7.914 or something works on TP2, I think earlier versions (7.4, 6, etc) don't. You just need to get (or purchase) the US maps.

I vote for TOMTOM zero to no lag and great interface. TOMTOM fix with zero to no lag is on my signature.
