TomTom7 possible without Primer?
 
Has anybody gotten TomTom7 working without using a primer? The astrolauncher does not work with TomTom7 and I have seen in xda where people have gotten other devices to use the internal GPS with TomTom7 w/o a primer, but has anybody gotten it to successfully work with their Touch?

in my opinion, using the primer is too much work compared to garmin xt where it self primes. I'd use garmin if I were you

I would use Garmin XT, but I don't like its routing functionality. I can prepare a short route and it has told me to go a few miles out of the way to get there. It may just be how recent the maps are, but the roads I would take have been there for years now

Oh, I see. I've been using it and have been satisfied so far. The only thing I miss is the text to speech (street names announced). Is there a windows mobile gps software that does have text to speech? Also, have you tried IGO 8? That sounds promising too.

what version of astrolauncher are you using? Are you also using TomTom v7?

By primer are you talking about the start up screen with TomTom 7? I did notice that v7 seems to load slower than v6 did. But I am using it off an 8gb microSD card on a 6700.

I'm talking about using the Internal GPS of the Touch without using a GPS Primer or Launcher such as GPSToday or AstroLauncher

Tom Tom 7 does work with astrogps launcher, I am using it without any problem as well.

Ok, I figured it out. I installed TomTom to the storage card so I updated the .lnk that it creates. I think Version 7 installs Tom Tom Navigator.exe in a different place than 6.
