TomTom7 possible without Primer?

[bleepjay]

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

Just tested Copilot 7, this app is also capable of self priming. When you run it, it will fire up the GPS all on its own. And its got some pretty cool features (traffic over the internet connection, Copilot Live where people can send you messages and see where you are and even make suggestions on what your next destination should be)

No text to speech though

Tom Tom is still my number one, but some may like Copilot 7..check it out, its my new number two (replacing Inav 4)

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.

iGuidance has TTS, but the interface isn't as nice as Garmin XT. I also use Garmin XT and I've been pretty happy with it.

Astrolauncher does work, I'm using it.

[bleepjay]

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.

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