Tomtom 7

[tcolling]

Hi -

I've seen messages touting Tomtom 7 as being great for use with the 6800. I can't find it for sale anywhere. Can anyone point out a good site to go to to purchase this product?

Thanks,
Tim

PS - I'm NOT looking for warez sites. I would be happy to pay a fair purchase price if it's wonderful.

Gosh, I don't know how I could have been more clear. I buy my software (assuming that it's not freeware, of course! :D )

Is Tomtom 7 actually in release yet? I don't see it listed on the tomtom company website.

Yes, I can post the cab for you and you can install it, though it won't do any good without the maps. You have to buy the maps from TomTom.

So why can't you get the TomTom7 cab or installer on their site? I too had to find the cab somewhere and then go get the maps from TomTom.

Ok, thank you very much for all your help. I would appreciate that.

One more question: when I go to the tomtom site and tell it that I want to purchase maps for tomtom 7, it only offers me maps for europe, the far east and the middle east. I was hoping to find maps for the united states. Is that not possible?

If I go to their site and select United States and then the map products, I can choose the Go 300 product and then pick which map you want. They have both USA and USA/Canada available in the 7.x version. $129 for just the USA map.

Thanks. I'll go check on that right now.

How can I legally obtain the software?

Here's the cab for TomTom 7. As I stated earlier though, you need to purchase the maps from TomTom.

Ok, thanks. I see that I can purchase tomom 7 maps from tomtom.com for europe and the near and far east, but not for the USA & Canada. Another person suggested above that I can get appropriate maps if I just start with saying that I have a GO300. Are the map files usable on any device? That is, does it matter that I'd be using the maps that he suggests on an xv6800 instead, or will they actually work ok? Also, will I need to download and use tomtomHome to actually install them?

Thanks,

I believe if you use the same version map as TTN then it will work. The Go300 has version 7 maps. You might be able to get the maps after installing TTN on your phone and doing it through that program.

Thanks for helping. I have to ask, though: what is TTN?

My understanding is that TTN7 was preloaded onto the HTC Diamond and is not for retail - just yet.

I can confirm that it is superior to TTN6 in terms of operability and of course the TT7 maps are more up to date. I was recently in Australia and a new toll road opened a few months earlier than scheduled and it was already available for navigation on TT7 maps.

I have not used the USA map on TT7 yet because I didnt want to shell out the $$$ just yet and TT6 maps seem to be just fine in my area.
