Thanks in advance.

All T-mobile Ameos around the world will NOT come with GPS software pre-installed...only HTC Advantage as far as I know.

Can you use the gps and use google maps to track your location in real time? Can someone try this and see if it works?

Thanks.

I'm jealous you guys have it already, I am goin to wait for the advantage.

Never tried google maps sorry, but when I get a chance I'll look into it...do you have a link to google maps info and application download? Don't really know how it works either.

As I resently found out: TomTom just check for the Athena String. So you can do following:

Grab a Friend who uses a licensed Version of TomTom Navigator 6
Copy his Card to e.g. Microdrive (I would recommend, to use a SD-Card, as bumbs on the road will stess the MD to much)
Remove those Map-Folders from your copy (Western Europe, or Country Name)
Push the card into your slot, or start via explorer on your Ameo the Start.exe.
This will install TomTom and on first startup, well, it will present you a voucher for a citymap of your choice. Here you go with your new licensed software of tomtom......
You may later on buy additional maps as you need. from single cities to western europe or other parts of this blue planet.
according to TomTom this is fine,and by intend, as long as you do not copy Maps licensed to a different device.
This possibly do not apply to all customized OEM-ware. But T-Mobile is registered Distributor of TOMTOM. That might be a reason .....

My HTC X7500 bought through Mobile Planet came with a software disc that includes TomTom Navigator 6 and a bunch of junks on it. I don't intend to use TomTom Navigator 6 so if any one wants to buy it, please let me know. TomTom Navigator 6 is sold for $149.99 but you can have it for half the price. The seal of the sotware disc is still unbroken so you know it's has not been activated on my HTC X7500.

I "believe" what you have is that standard DEMO disc. It will give you one local map with the option to "purchase" others...The "Full" version for $149.99 includes the Entire US and Canada!

OK... Good to know that the whole disc is full of junks. I'm glad I wasn't charged for TomTom Navigator 6 when I bought my HTC X7500. So they charge $100 more than the HTC X7501 just for the front camera? I can buy a good real camera for $100. On other note... why the hell does every body say HTC X7500 comes with TomTom Navigator 6? What a bunch of morons!!! A demo disc of TomTom Navigator 6 doesn't mean the HTC X7500 comes with it!!!!

Does it have over legal speed limit warning? If so,does it have facility for user to self enter legal speed limit of any portion of a road, where the map data is incomplete?

I have only been around locally so far so i am not sure about the speed limit thing, I will get back to you on it when I have taken it out for a proper run.
