TomTom 7 ?

[academic]

Does anybody know if the PPC version of TomTom 7 will goes out ?
Following some information's I've read, TomTom will not sell this version "in the box" but some company may deliver a v7 version with their device.

Also read that HTC will deliver this with the Diamond.

Thx in advance for your feedback.

According to Tomtom, the availability of version 7 is unknow.
However, some people have ripped the HTC Diamond version which is illegal and no new maps are available that works with the ripped version although some people claims that the maps of release 6.75 works but they are out off date. Conclusion: May be that you can get an illegal version of Tomtom 7, but it will not support the latest maps.
Therefore, if you want navigation with the latest maps consider to use IGO8.

People in the Diamond forum and Kasier forum have download and purchased the version 7 maps from the tom tom 720 and they work with the ripper tt7

I have installed tomtom 7 and works great on my polaris with map france_720_1802 ..
Really speed this tomtom, but i try igo8 and looks very good with more options !

I've installed TT7 with the West_European_720_1803 map.

It works but it isn't Navigon (which I prefer).

TT7 works, but i cant get any 7 maps to work... strange...

[belesta]

I installed TT7 on my Cruise, it works perfectly. It even proposed me to download a free map which I did :-))
I found somewhere to have the western europe v7 also. Great day !

No you cant. But why do you want to keep version 6? Version 7 works better, works with newer maps... :) why keep with the old stuff?

I have TT6 running WE 6.75 and use a lot, so am more than interested in upgrading.

3 Qs

1. What are the new features of TT7? Is it worth it? Is it really faster? One feature I would really like in particular: does TT7 have the ability to give a voice warning of being over the speed limit?

2. Do we ever expect TT to release this formally for PDAs?

3. Do you also need to update TomTom Home to 2.x? (TT6 only worked with TT Home 1.x).

Thanks

Q1: you can give a sound to warning over speed so i guess a voice too.

Q2&Q3 dont know:confused:

Hi,

I have it running on the poor mans Polaris (Artemis) and it works just as well as TT6.

1. The new features I have noticed are

i You can now disable auto zoom, so you can set a zoom level you like and it won't change.
ii You can set a warning both for going over the speed limit or for a speed defined by you.
iii You can change the pointer to your car of choice.
iv It displays the road you are on as well as the next road when following a route.
v the speed warning is now red background with white text so is easier to read (was red on blue before).
vi Has access to MapShare (I can't get this to work as I have it installed purely on my SD card but other forum users report it works).

2. No idea.

3. You need to use TT Home ver 2.3

Overall it is not a major improvement on TT6 but there are a few bits. Due to the size of its installation (over 12mb) I can't fit it on my device storage but it runs fine on the SD card. However, this does prevent it from connecting to TT Home. However, I intend to change my Artemis for a MDA Compact IV or an Orbit 2 so that problem should be easy to fix.

Regards

Thanks spangelsaregreat and le poulpe for replies.

As I use mine in my pocket via earplugs on my motorbike, and hence never look at the screen (and hence my interest in voice/audio features) it doesn't look like there is much more in TT7, except of course the speed warning.

[texarcana]

just tested tomtom v7.450.9028 on my polaris with tt7.20 and tt7.15 maps. it works great and even faster then tomtom6 :)

[belesta]

I use TT7 on my polaris for a week now and it's perfect.

Nevertheless, I found one regression versus TT6 : the polaris wheel does not work to zoom in and out the map.

Is there a patch or a special polaris configuration for that ?

Thanks

Can i install both versions? i dont want to delete the version 6.

Yes, you can to have 2 version. I made in this way:

1. i moved folder "navigator" from RAM to SD card/Programs
2. i renamed SD Card/Programs/navigator to SD Card/Programs/navigator_6
3. i created shortcut from SD Card/Programs/navigator_6/TomTom Navigator.exe to /windows/start menu/Programs/TomTom navigator_6
(do not work anymore the today plugins only)
4. i when installed TTN7 repack3 in sd card that create new folder "navigator" in SD Card/Programs. I accept when the new installation asked me if to unistall the older version of TTN (i lost only: my base, recent destinations and preferreds)
5. at finish i have now, in programs of device, 2 icons: "TomTom navigator" for to launch TTN7 and "TomTom navigator_6" for to launch TTN6

Note: TTN7 repack3, other maps ver. 7.15, to recognize even maps version 6.75 !

Hello,

i installed TT7 on my Polaris. I can start the porgram and load the maps, but the internal GPS dont work correctly. Its says that im driving about 300km/h (but im sitting in front of my computer and only my fingers are moving . . sometimes) and cant find my location at the installed maps and the screen keeps blank.
I tried out different versions of tt7 but i got always the same problem.
Anyone knows a fix for that prob?

EDIT: The problem was an old RadioROM. After installing 1.64.08.21 TT7 works fine.

P.S. The RR which is installed with bebe 0.67 doesnt work.

Download 1.64.08.21 for Polaris here: http://depositfiles.com/files/4306606
