Tom tom install

[Ali2908]

The new version of tomtom navigator 7 supports the internal gps receiver. Works fine on my Touch Pro.

Anyone know where to buy the updated US maps for Navigator 7 that are not 3 years old?

I am running 7.450 and have no problems using internal receiver.

TomTom takes a while to lock on to the GPS signal for whatever reason. I did a back to back test of Garmin XT vs TomTom vs Google Maps vs Microsoft Live, and Garmin, Google, Microsoft Live all took 10 - 30 Sec, where with TomTom I consistently had to wait almost a minute.

Just have some patience wait for it to lock on, the software is great!

TomTom doesnt seem to update the maps for the Navigator software very often, try some of the other Nav software as they always seem to have something up to date.

The Garmin maps I am using are the 2009 versions.

I am waiting to lock w/ BAF GPS, meanwhile can you verify that this method does not need data plan? thanks leslie

Tom Tom is working fine thus far with BAF's GPS. Too bad he gave up on project before getting out all the kinks. I haven't had a problem but just starting. thanks again, leslie
