how do you override the backlight to have it on at all times when using tomtom7

Having your GPS on at all times is a waste of money. Not only will it drain your battery considerably, but your phone will always be using unnecessary cpu power, and would get very hot when charging because of the extensive use.

Why pay for a program when there's better free ones?

Which ttn7.cab file are you using? the one i'm using works for about 2 minutes and stops - would you mind uploading the .cab?

Thanks

Here are my two files.

The first is a rar (so open it on your computer) and copy the Navigation folder to your Vogue\Program Files\ folder (this is where the files for most installed programs go).

The next is astrolauncher. It will created the shortcut in the programs menu, and because of the way it was installed, there will only be one shortcut, instead of the regular two.

Thanks will try it tonight! I already have Astrolauncher and it was useless! BUt i think with your Navigator file, this setup should work. God I'm tired of using googlemaps!

Astrolauncher + Tom Tom = GPS heaven (only thing missing is Text to Speech

)

It works flawlessly!!

I just installed the astrolauncher but I'm not sure how do use it. I see the icon in my programs listing but it doesn't do anything. Is that normal?

Thanks

did you install tt7? the launcher needs a program to launch.

I use TT7 and it is probably 25-30% faster than TT6. My maps are around 900mb (all of US).

I also do prime before I use. BAZ GPS works the best for me, as I can put a link directly under my TT7 link on my desktop. 1 click on, 1 click TT7 - and on exit, its a 1 click off.
