Hi everyone
does anyone know how to get TomTom Navigator 6 to run on the Lobster 700TV?
I have managed to get the application lock sorted now but not TT N6. I know that TT N6 lists in its code the phones that it will run on but the Monet is not one of them. I have used a hex editor to overwrite another HTC phone in the code in the hope that this may work. Although the phone now starts to run TT N6, it stops with the error: "not digitally signed ...". There must be something else that needs changing but I am not sure what.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Regards ...
I got it working, but it would not find the map, or should I say it crashed when it got to that stage.
TomTom MOBILE (v5.2) works fine
I know that this may not help, but I've got TomTom MOBILE (App Version 5.200 (4450)) working on the Lobster.
I think you've found out that version 6 does not work.

Thanks for that.
It seems that TomTom Navigator 6 is a step backwards. I have had to do a lot of hacking with the software but without success so far although a breakthrough seems close.
Lobster 700TV
Hi ringp3ace
I have now tried TT Mobile 5.2 and yes, it works. I went on eBay and found this software for sale at £22 including PP. If anyone is intrested, there are 4 more left so be quick.
All the best,
Bluetooth GPS
Well, thanks to ringp3ace, I now have fully functional Tomtom Mobile working on my Lobster. Problem is, my bluetooth GPS device (GRB-288), wont play ball. I can pair and connect ok but there's no communication going on. I know there are some bluetooth devices that sulk when they are used with some phones but does anyone know which bluetooth GPS will work with the Lobster?
Regards
I'm having problems installing 5.20 on my Monet - using the download from the tomtom site it instals successfully up to the Jane voice then fails saying it isn't compatible with this device and backs out all the previous instals. Any ideas? I have a proper product key as I bought tomtom 6 for my pda and I can move tomtom 5 to the monet. Cheers

Thanks for your input but I have already found that the BT GPS 77 device also works well. I now have TT 5.2 running well on the Lobster.
Thanks to all those who helped to bring about this happy event.

TomTom6 working (sort of)
I managed to install TomTom6 onto the Monet. It runs OK, but the lack of a touchscreen is the killler though - just too difficult to use without one.
Certain screens require the touch screen (setting up the GPS, selecting a postcode). The fakecursor/touch screen emulator is not an ideal solution either as I can't see how to assign the fakecursor program to a hardkey on the Monet.
I went back to 5.2 which runs fine. 5.0 doesn't as the screen goes garbled.
Can anyone help, I keep getting "set up is not a valid windows ce application" when trying to run tomtom mobile 5.2
hard to say without more info.
sounds like you are trying to run a .exe file on the monet that should really be run on the PC (if its the setup file)
The executable file that should be run on the monet is TomTom Mobile.exe
Can anyone help me,
when trying to install tomtom mobile 5.2 it freezes on the voice selection.
Anyone any ideas
Thanks in advance

Help with TT Navigator 5.2
To all those how are still trying to get Lobby to play with TT.
First, make sure your Lobster is 'application unlocked' (see start of this thread)
Next, ensure that you are trying to install version 5.2 of TT Navigator and that it is a Windows Mobile version (there are several versions). The Symbian version for some phones will load but not run.
Once loaded correctly, TT Navigator 5.2 will self install from the software loaded to the phone using the HOME application on your PC. This application will 'see' the connected Lobster and memory card.
I have spent hours trying to find the 'secret' and I can tell that it does work. If you read through this thread you will find others that have too.
If you still have problems, let me know
Regards
Thank you for the help Leadweight
When you say HOME application on the PC, what do you mean?
Many thanks again
Elbow
Thanks again Leadweight
Reading what you said and some of the other posts I now have it working on the Lobster - taken me hours but it is pretty impressive...
Cheers
Elbow
Well done

Needed to create a tomtom folder within my documents section of the phone and install the data.chk file.
Sorted !
I get a "failed to create empty document" using quickgps under the new WM6.1 DCD rom 2.1. I tried the registry hack and verified that the region says US. Is this just incompatible with this version of WM at this point? Still uncertain if it really helps with initial lock but would like to try. Thanks.

i am not familiar with quickgps and im just guessing here, but does it require sqlcemobile maybe?
Use the patched quickgps and registry settings here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1862269&postcount=2
You will need registry edditing software such are resco to import the reg file. I used to use the free PHM regedit, but it is not capable of importing .reg files. So I installed Resco file explorer/registry editor and it is well worth the $25.
i stuck these into the original cab here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1880584&postcount=61
install and run. all credit to TalynOne, awesome job.
Thanks guys, I did use the one on the referenced thread but I will try the new cab. thanks.
Thanks DCD, you da man. That cab worked awesome. will see if it helps cold start gps lock. I am loving my new Mogul more and more every day much of it thanks to you and this forum. Your WM6.1 ROM is sweet and the help I've gotten here has been great. Thanks.

thank you, but please thank TalynOne for this one, all I did is drag and drop a couple files he was nice enough to provide.
Well let's see, the program dumps ephemeris data to a file called: xtra.bin
If you grep the gps drivers (and or the entire roms we use) you will find ZERO references to this file. So, congragulations, you're running a program which is entirely worthless on our device with our current drivers.
Just in case someone didn't understand that, this is not supported by our gps driver, it does nothing for us.
Yeah, if QuickGPS data is actually used on a cold GPS boot is unknown. That's why I wrote the warning in the FAQ that it hasn't been verified that QuickGPS actually does anything. A couple of people indicated that it does, but it may be due to a soft reset. I'm wondering shadowmite, do you know if there are any references to the xtra.bin file in the Kaiser GPS drivers?
I'm trying to determine that now, unless this quickgps app loads it directly into the gps's memory (which is possible, there is a reference to the port in the exe file) it doesn't do anything. I'm taking it apart trying to decide.
after playing a little more, it seems i am not getting a fix any faster, but i am picking up more sats- 10 now, ive always seen 4-6 before. but, maybe its just the conditions outside? im awaiting shadowmite's results.
It seems to be making a big difference for me. After a soft reset I'm getting an initial lock in tomtom in under 10 seconds indoors. Prior to running download in the exe it was taking a few minutes if it would get an indoor lock at all.
i'm too lazy right now to go outside and test this. just wondering if this is a standalone app that activates gps, or if it just updates sat data. i've gotta go grab some food soon so i might just find my answer.
Supposed to just download satellite position data I believe to help lock faster but as Shadowmite said, it is still unclear if it helps on the Titan.
Hey Shadowmite, firstly I just want to thank you also for everything you have done for all of the smartphone groups. I have been a big fan since your days on the treocentral forums helping us all with the Treos. The quickgps may be just a placebo effect but I never used to be able to start up a native gps satellite sync indoors in my home office. I used to have to go outside to start up then come inside and it would sometimes keep a satellite or two locked. Now I can get initial sync inside even after a cold start. I do notice that occasionally I have to soft reset to get the GPS kick started as it occasionally isn't recognized by TomTom even using the astrogpslauncher app. Obviously this isn't scientific and I will wait to see what your dissection shows. Thanks for working on this. One other question for you programmers, would it be feasible to create some kind of external LED sequence or task bar icon that would indicate that the GPS is active and/or locked on satellites? Right now it requires an app. I know you guys aren't just sitting around waiting for people to suggest new functionality but it's just an idea to throw out there. Thanks again.
I don't think it will help, while both Titan and devices like Kaiser use Qualcomm MSMs, they do so in completely different ways. The CDMA gpsOne spec doesn't need to know what satellites are in the sky... it can pull that data from the network.
I think the major GPS delays on Titan are bugs in the radio stack... HTC has never tried to enable gpsOne on CDMA2000 before, and there are likely to be many bugs. If there weren't, well, we would have had GPS on the Harrier.

Thanks a ton. This worked perfectly. It took me 15 minutes to get a fix this morning with no quickgps but only 1 minute after installing this cab.
I had installed the quickgps.cab I downloaded 6 months ago but got the "connection failed" message. Thanks dcd1182 and TalynOne for making this available.

Geez, bump.
Okay, before, you will flame me for not reading the thread please here me out.
I just upgraded my 6800, so now, I have GPS, and 6.1.
The GPS works great with Google maps and live search.
I guidance is very choppy. I read through the thread about using Astrolauncher. I have no problem making the shortcuts.
My problem is widths changing the output ports. I.e. redirecting com 4 to com 2.
GPS gate costs $40, I am getting errors when I install GPSproxy.
What step am I missing?
If somebody is going to attack me for asking this question, instead of telling me to read through the forum, please direct me to the specific thread and posting. A download Link would also be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, all for your help, I couldn't have gotten this far without, you all.

Iguidance didn't run very smooth for me either so I switched to tomtom 6 and never looked back, runs perfectly smooth and recalculates instantly.

I had the same problem when I first started using iGuidance. I purchased GPSGate, which is only $19.95 for the Pocket PC, not $40, and launch it using astrolauncher and a startup MortScript script. It has been working great ever since.
wat gps works on the touch pro besides google maps and live maps ? ii heard igo8 and garmin work but havent found any solid leads could anybody point me in the rite direction thanks .
ps. if you know were i can download any of them pm me plz
Are you only looking for free software?
If your not, I use Tomtom which works well http://www.tomtom.com/
also I'm fond of GPS tuner http://www.gpstuner.com
Cheers
yeah im lookin for a craked version of igo8 or tom tom
any GPS software will work, I run Garmin XT
and I wouldnt ask for cracks on this board.
I don't know of a WM GPS package that does not work on the Touch Pro.
It's really a matter of finding which has the features you want from the many that are available.
If it might help you any, I made a list comparing features of Garmin Mobile XT versus Telenav versus Sprint Navigation here.
I could include other GPS navigation packages in that list if anyone else has used another enough to provide a response for each feature listed. Anyone with that knowledge can just leave a reply there in that thread and I'll update the initial post with the data when I can.
I got one that works just fine for me and I hope it helps you as well
I too run Garmin. Has anyone running Garmin noticed a slight lag with it or am I the only one?
Depends on the outcome youa re looking for
I use Live Search to get directions and to get posotions. The price is right and it has a cool speach feature that works well. If you want to track positions and loge where you are and were then I have found a great package that is free. Everytrail.com
Live Search : http://loco4local.com/
EveryTrail.com Cleint : http://www.everytrail.com/winmobile/
Again all are free.....

Anyone know where or if its possible to get a telenav download for free I'm new to windows mobile
i'm searching for best navigation program for my hd2, with that i mean the program that is the most stable and works fine. So please if someone can give me a link to download it and tutorial how to make it work it would be of a big help to me.
that is not what this forum is about..
But i use Tomtom and it works great.. links and help use google
I like Navigon very much. Before, I used Garmin.
Both operate with no issues on HD2. Navigon for sure is available on their website (didn´t check though), Garmin is a bit outdated and maybe no longer available.
