Hello,

anyone who has Tomtom working on the Kaiser?
The application runs, but recognizes no maps, allthough the Western Europe Map is present...

Greetz,
Forrest

Yes, I have got Tomtom 6 running on Kaiser and using the latest 6.75 maps and it works perfect.

Great! Can you tell me how you did it?

Maybe I should rename the directory of the Western Europe map on my SD, but I don't know how it should be named...

Thanks!

It works! I renamed the map a few times, and suddenly it was recognized!

Thanks anyway!

How is the GPS in acquiring a GPS fix?
Is it quick?
Thanks,

If you check the box carefuly, you'll find disk with tomtom app. The version there is newer thet anything you can get elsewhere, but only works with kaiser...

You can't download it. It is included on the CD. Aside from that, TT 6.032 does not work on other devices, it will simply refuse to install.

As far as the fix is concerned, as I already mentioned in another thread, it's really a lot quicker than on the Trinity (Qcomm) or x7500 (Sirf III) and also a lot more sensitive (7 bars on the dinner table compared to 0 for the x7500)

Got my kaiser yesterday, used the tomtom this morning on the way to work , the lock on time was about the same as my sirfiii external unit around 90ecs, was only get around 3-4 sats though so weaker than the external unit. I was not using quick gps fix either.

I will see how it goes as i can always use the external unit with it anyway. handy to have it all built in though.

device seems very responsive compared to my vario II.

time will tell.

Actually, you should be able to manually replace the .exe of 6.032 over a 6.030 install...

where on the cd is the tomtom cab? I looked at each folder on both cd's that came with the kaiser and nothing. Any chance someone can send me the file? I will proof I do own tomtom maps and a kaiser, please pm.

It is called "Installer_Kaiser_ttn_6_032_8351_HTC_WWE_20070716.e xe" on my cdrom, yours should be the same. The cdrom also has the tomtom logo on it as well.

I have had mine freeze twice now whilst using it, i think it may have something to do with the traffic subscription as i have just had that transferred over to my new kaiser, before it was fine with tomtom. Will continue testing to see how frequent this becomes....

It appears that there are two versions of the applications disk. Can HTC's TomTom app be downloaded from their site?

well i guess seeing as it cannot be installed on any other device apart from the Kaiser I dont see any reason not to post it up as no one apart from Kaisers owners can install it anyway.

Obviously if this causes an issue i will remove it immediately....

Thanks! Just need to wait for the 8925 release now and see if there's anything else we're missing. :)

Hmmm....McHale- I doubt that AT&T will be releasing Tomtom with their units...

McHale

I'm sure they're not. I actually meant if they cripple the device in any way like removing the front camera. I still haven't seen an official release that says it has GPS.

I would have to say ATT would not release the unit with TomTom. You cannot buy separate maps from TomTom in the USA. So after your free city map you will have to purchase the entire package from TomTom for their full price.

what did you rename it to? I am having the same issue - it installs fine but tomtom doesn't find any maps!

Thanks!

I just installed TomTom Nav 6 with complete US/Canada 6.75. I got it to work but I'm not getting any nearby "stores" in the POI, only a list of same ones in the east coast. I'm in Los Angeles. Any help?

I think you should not have any spaces in the folder's name, not sure.

Mine is named as:
SD:\TomTom__Western_and_Central_Europe\

just downloaded that file and tried to install it on my phone, but its saying it needs a rom update :confused:

One of the reasons, not the ONLy reason, but ONE of the reasons why TomTom gives the No Maps found message when there are maps correctly installed is:

Go to Comm Manager > Blue Tooth settings > FTP tab and Uncheck "Enable Blutooth Explorer".

I have some theories why this works but nothing definitive.

I was pulling my hair out for a while before I discovered this by accident.

I too get the "need rom update" error.

I did install 6.30 from the web site. I cannot find 6.32 there.

Another thing: from the CD, when I try to install the large US/Canada maps, it gets to about 96% then fails. So I've installed the various regional maps.

I'm going to go over now to the other TomTom thread here which appears to be the main TomTom thread, and see if I can get any thoguhts on knowing which maps to use when they overlap.

did you buy 6.30 or just download it from somewhere as i cant find it anywhere :(

My Dad and I both have a Tilt.
If we both load TomTom and get different maps can we swap them and they work ?
