I've read all the messages of this thread and still nobody to reply to my question : how or where to see the version 6.020 before purchasing TT6 ?
People say TT6 on DVD is the one which works with P990, but how come some can't install it ?
Please answer as I've already got my GPS receiver.
The copy of TT6 I bought on ebay didn't fit with the phone, it was one for PDA's. Now I want to buy a genuine one but just don't know how to make the good choice.
Thanks,

If you buy a "legit" retail copy of TomTom Navigator v6 on DVD then it will inculde the UIQ3 version of TomTom that you can install on your phone (I'd stay away from anything you find on eBay!). The UIQ3 version of TomTom is confirmed by many to work on ALL of the SE UIQ3 based smartphones (i.e. M600, P990, and W950).
The ONLY version of TomTom v6 for use with the UIQ3 OS is indeed version 6.020. Thus, you don't need to worry about the version you are getting since it is the ONLY one currently available when you buy a TomTom v6 DVD. When you buy the DVD, it also includes a copy of the TomTom Home application that installs on your PC and then walks you through installing the proper version of TomTom onto your phone as is fully explained here:

It's a very simply process and so there's no need for you to get all worked up about it all. Just go buy a "legit" DVD version of TomTom v6 and you'll have all you need.
BTW, even if you happend to receive an older version of the TomTom v6 for UIQ3 app (which you can't at this point since there's only the original released v6.020 available), the TomTom Home application would indicate this and then allow you to update to the latest version.

I installed v7.0 from
http://www.nav4all.com
It's free n'till 2008 and ... it works like charm!!
Recently I used it in South-Africa and Cyprus.
Have ya ever tried to find a navigation system + maps for both countries ... I did, and the result was nada ... there was only 1 solution left: NAV4all is the name
All ya need is a bluetooth GPS reciever.
I love it.
Enjoy.
Cheers

Bert I clicked on their link to see what the communication charges can be : I don't want to ruin myself in paying gprs connections. They say that the sw only connects when choosing an itinary... Once I get back home I'll download it and give it a try. If it's worthy then I may forget TomTom as I'm not always on the road.
You used it in South Africa and Cyprus : what about your phone bill ?
I see you're also in Belgium : is your provider Proximus like me or are you Mobistar or Base ?
Thanks,

Hi Mayacesar,
Yep, Proximus is my provider.
For the use of the GPRS roaming in SA I was charged for an amount of approx 15 euros ... I used the system for about 10 days.
You're right when ya say that NAV4all is perhaps not the cheapest solution for daily use. For me it is! At home it costs me only my monthly so called "internet" over GPRS/3G subscription (included in a fee of ±20 euros/month (+ a download of 20Mb)).
For daily use at home I myself prefer the NAV4all system for the time being. My subscription with Proximus covers everything; so in Belgium, I can use that kind of nav system at no extra costs.
Once 2008? Then, of course, I've to rethink a few things ...
Cheers
Bert

hi i bought my tt6 from ebay on cd-r and now l believe it wasn't the right version and thats the reason why i couldn't install it on my sony P990i . I think it was the one for smart phones other than the UIQ ones. Best go buy the dvd version then.

Has anyone had a problem with their GPS disconnecting after a minute or 2 in TomTom?
I have a QStarz Bluetooth GPS that I just brought on eBay and TomTom can see it fine and it locks and gets satellites but after a while it will say "No GPS Deice!" in the GPS Status window and the signal and connection to the GPS will go.
My phone info is as follows:
Phone:
CXC 162037 R7A0011
BT:
CXC 162058 R4F01
Organiser:
CXC 162036 R3B01
I know it's quite old, it's an Orange branded phone which I hope to de-brand myself ASAP.
Is it possibly the firmware which is a bit crappy with Bluetooth devices??

jonathan488, I have 1 of those units, I am sending it back for a refund. It appears to use a different chipset to TomTom's own brand reciever which I'm guessing is what is causing the problems as the reciever works fine with non-tomtom GPS software. I have a reciever on order which uses the same Sirf Star 3 chipset that is found in the tomtom recievers when it arrives I'll see if it fixes the problem and I'llupdate the thread with any relevant info.
