Chris Wilson Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Just seen this Ebay ad, how do you, and how much does it cost, to add HGV data to a "normal" Tom Tom, and do all models accept this data? ta! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOMTOM-GO-730-HGV-LCV-FOR-THE-TRUCK-LORRY-DRIVER_W0QQitemZ360154662965QQcmdZViewItemQQssPageNameZRSS:B:SRCH:GB:101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Chris, I don't think you can do this, you need the 'HGV' version of the TT unit. I am trying to confirm that though. Cheers, Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Take a look here Chris, get most of my maps and tweaks from here;) http://www.ipmart-forum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=382 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime I'll have a more thorough scout about in there, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Contact TrickTT (Rich). He is proper truck driver and will know how to put this stuff onto tomtom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Chris, Have a look here for POI's for your existing TT. Not sure if it's going to be as good, but I'm 98% sure that the HGV maps need to be paired with the HGV version of TT. What version of TT are you running now? Cheers, Paul.

Chris Wilson Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Thanks for the link, downloading now. I haven't actually bought a sat nav yet, so that's not a problem. There seem very few used HGV ready systems around though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Do you have a PDA you could use for now to try out TT and these POI's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 No, never had a PDA, I know, I live in the dark ages in some respects Can Tom Tom software run on a laptop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 There is no version of TT for the PC, some people have tried to run it on a PDA emulator, but I think it's going to be too much effort to get it all up and running. Have a look here for some more details. If it works like the Speed Camera POI, and it will, then it will be good as a warning, but will not auto route or warn you when you plan the journey. Just make sure you set the warning lenght ahead to be far enough. You don't want it to say 'BEEP - Warning low bridge ah... ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Can Tom Tom software run on a laptop? PITA. We used to run a PDA hacked version - I spent more time getting the damn thing to work than using it. Eventually bought one of those 50 quid Navigos and put the tom tom software on it. Still plays up though sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
