Yes you can use TomTom with the Motorola Q9h. You will need to download GPSID and GPStest(search for the in the forum). You will also want to download fakecursor (link it to your voice activiation) because tomtom is dificult to use without a touchscreen. When you are all set up, you will want to launch GPStest before launching tomtom.

I find the GPS works well. It works well in my car, sitting on the passenger seat.

Hope this helps.

Yes you can use TomTom with the Motorola Q9h. You will only need to download Microsoft_Smartphone_GPSID_Settings in order to setup the correct port and speed settting on the internal gps. I have read things that people talk about having to download and use Fakecursor. Yes the MotoQ9h is not touch screen, but u still do not need Fakecursor in order to use TomTom Nav on MotoQ9h. My secret is the key between the calender key and the +0 key at the bottom of the keyboard. U can use this key to swich between typing out letters and numbers. In the case of typing out an address. U have probably seen that if u try to type out the name of a street, or the name of the city u will get numbers instead of letters on certain keys. Well folks that is where u can use what I call my magic button that I told u about ealier =]. All u do is hold the button down till u get a beep, let it go and then u can type all the letters u need in order to spell out the street or city, if u have to type in a number u hold the key down again till u hear another beep and then u can type all the numbers in u want, like for the zip code or number of street address. All u have to do to switch between inserting number and letters when typing an address route u just hold the key down till u hear a beep and can switch between using numbers or letters. Hold It down the first time it switches to inserting letters. Hold it down again it switches to inserting numbers. Hold it down again and it will switch back to letters again and will allow u to go back and forth all u need in order to put in an address. I found this is alot easier and alot faster then using that Fakecursor program. All I needed to get the gps to work with TomTom is.

1. Microsoft_Smartphone_GPSID_Settings
2. TomTom Software w/ Activated Maps ( Yes I bought the Maps)

So Everyone your Welcome! for the one that may use this to fix their issues for TomTom on the Moto Q9h (AT&T)

Not GPS related, but for the ones that have the MotoQ9h congrads on what I believe is a very wonder and powerful smartphone. Just make sure the first thing u do with it is update it to Win Mobile 6.1. it has some great improvements.

GPS works great =]

To everyone I may have helped out there that has questions about using TomTom on MotoQ9h. Feel free to ask. I may work on a detailed guide for everyone out there, but do not have the time right this second. Maybe coming later.

Take care everyone and Good Luck :-)

Check this thread http://www.everythingq.com/forum/mot...h-20473-6.html
By the way, there no need for Fakecursor if you are using the latest TT7

I own TT6 & maps, is there any legit way to get a hold of TT7 for the Q?

Hi there if u already have ur own TT6 and maps. I would recommend using that version. I had TT6 before. Besides the new menu look , no real big features are any different between the two. U will only have to download Microsoft_Smartphone_GPSID_Settings

That is all i used to get the gps working. The following is a post i put up before talking all about what u need to use TomTom on MotoQ9h. Hope it helps
