I spent ages trying to get TomTom 6 working and gave up, so instead thought i would use google to help me to get the latest maps working. They don't work though. Except for one which is new and does work on TomTom Mobile 5.20. Don't know why but its the only one, if you found another new one that works, post it here.

UK and IE plus major roads of WE-Map v660.1223

no need for TomTom 6 now!

they wont work becuase the new maps are teleatlas maps v675
the old ones are navteq v660
tomtom 6 doesnt work due to the screen res on phone

UK and IE plus major roads of WE-Map v660.1223 does work with TomTom 5.20 because thats what I use.

SO use TomTom 5.20 and the maps: UK and IE plus major roads of WE-Map v660.1223

thats the best you can get on this phone :)

Is all of this free for the lobby or do you have to purchase some of it?

I thought I found that TT6 didn't work because I couldn't get it to select the GPS, I couldn't find any way to get it to select the com port for the GPS at the bottom of the list of available com ports.

Tom Tom 6 does work on this phone.
Add the GPS device in Bluetooth manager to COM6. Make sure secure connection is off. Now use 'fakecursor' in TomTom6 to select com6. The devices will be paired and you can now turn secure connection back on in the bluetooth manager. Map 'fakecursor' to the camera button on the side of the phone. It will make Tomtom6 easier to use because you have instant access to the cursor when needed. When you disable fakecursor, it exits to the homescreen, but tomtom is still running, so just click ok button on the quick launch icon and it will take you where you last where in tomtom.

Does TomTom Mobile 5 work on this phone? I just get a garbled screen when I run the application. Do I need to get 5.2??
