TomTom Navigator 5 Series

Hi all,
I am trying to work out how to install the TomTom Navigator 5 Series maps onto the Polaris. It does not seem to be going very well. I was using these maps with the jamin and tomtom5. Do I really need to buy new maps? I hope not as these work and are perfectly good. Please could someone enlighten me please?
Kind Regards,
Will

I guess the problem is that you have tomtom 6 on tc and want to use tomtom 5 maps. You could try installing them using tomtom home. Or you could try uninstalling tomtom 6 from the tc and installing tomtom5. if u have bought the software and maps, you could email tomtom customer services and explain the problem (i.e. that u cannot transfer the maps on ur new device), maybe they could be of help.
hope this is helpful

TT5 works fine on my Touch Cruise. You first have to remove TT6 from the device. Then, copy the 4 CABs to a temporary dir on your SD-card and run them. Install the cards you need on a temporary dir on your PC and copy them to the SD-card.
I copied the card dirs from another device. All settings and speed cams where copied to my TC.
I hope this brief explanation will help you.

Thanks Joop and Jackster....
I have had a reply from tomtom........(info for anyone else)
"Dear Mr Richardson,
Thank you for contacting TomTom Customer Support with regards to your PDA.
Navigator 5 maps are unfortunately not compatible with the software of Navigator 6.
You will have to use the maps provided with navigator or buy new maps.
Please check the compatibility of your device , you could do tis by going to our website under PDA/Mobile"
Its a ****** scam! At least Microsoft aren't that bad! "Here buy Nav 5, (XP) whoops you have upgraded to Nav 6 (Vista) none of your programs work, sorry you have to buy them again!!!!!!
Brilliant Thanks Tomtom for the support and great service! What other people sell navigational software? (Rhetorical Question, PLease do not reply!)

Touch Diamond2 TT Navigator7 compatibility??

Hi All
just upgraded (or should that be downgraded) to a TD2 but I cant get either version of TT 6 or 7 to install. In both cases it tells me the software/device are incompatible...
Device data WM 6.1 pro build 21042.1.6.1
processor MSM7200A - 528MHz
All assistance greatly appreciated as I want/need it for my hols startin Sat!!
Thanks
Pete

The only advice I can give as I don;t have mine yet is post on the TD2 forum... there are lots of TomTom threads there

TT7 7.45 cab works, TT6 works too - what are you doing as I had it running fine.

Hi
I had purchased v6 originally and it wasn't recognised by my PDA. I bought v7 and it told e that it was incompatible with the device as well as screwing up TT home. From that and searching in here I found a cab file for a version called 7.95 which works but only recognises maps of Spain and Pertugal which I had purchased through TT home prior to the upgrade.
It wont recognise either v7 or v6 maps of UK no matter what I try (no code works) I am told this is because TT7 is free but the maps cost and self install/authorise without the user needing to enter an authorisation code.
TT support told me that their support doesn't cover TD2 as they haven't tested it yet...therefore I'm stuck...

I know i'm going to get blasted about no warez slogans but if TomTom aren't going to support it for some time then i guess they don't deserve your money right now, warez it and then when it gets supported, you might want to consider buying it.
It's better than not having a gps on hand.

tom tom more maps
I installed tom tom and it works. i installed 1 map (western europa).. tehn i want to install another (center en eastern europa) but this did not work.. Can i install 2 maps on 1 device? or is this not possible?

which Tomtom

Hi all
My father has a polaris, I wanted to flash a new Rom in order for him to get a taste of manila 2D etc... I was planning out on trying out 3LIT3 Rom which had Tomtom preinstalled with it, but the new version doesn't
So before I flash I wanted to know if there was a version of Tomtom optimised for touch cruise like there is for some other devices. If there isn't, which version would you recommend, TT7 or TT6?
thanks in advance

I started with TomTom 6 and upgraded to TomTom 7... why? There are newer maps for TomTom 7. But you'll have to buy them... TomTom 6 cards won't work with the newer version.

allright thanks... let's go for 7 then
see you

Specifically..... I have found that TomTom 7.45 works excellent and flawlessly on my Sons HTC Touch Cruise.... (as well as my Tilt, partners Titan, and "spare" LG Incite)... I think this is the best TomTom I have found (like it much better tan the newerr 7.9x versions and better than 7.2x, and 6.x versions as well...

Hi
I want to update my TT6 do TT7.
First question:
Which .cab can I use?
If someone has a link I would be very gratefull, otherwise just which .cab I should use would be sufficient.
Second question:
Can I buy the TT7-maps for the new Toch Cruise2?
Third Question:
Where can I get the voices for TT7. I Would need the German ones.
I tried a TT7-cab bevore, but it screwed my whole phone up. And it was without sound, if it was kind enaugh to start in one out of ten times.
Thanks

TT Navigator 7 and HD 2

Hi All,
I see that many of you have TT7 working on HD2. Can I ask if anyone has official maps working?
I have TT 7.915 and V8.4 map ( purchased ( with real money! ) through TT ). This was on my Diamond. I want to transfer this onto my shiny HD2 but so far TT Home does not recognise HD2 as this is not officially supported. ASs this is the case I cannot transfer the account to the HD2.
I don't want to go down the route of 'unofficial sites' and I definately don't want to be stuck with CoPilot!!
Cheers in Advance

same problem here...tthome dont see hd2 and cant update maps

same for me too, does anyone have any tips?

Heeelppp !!!
I've just bought HD2 ...630 euros in Italy and my TT7 7.9 maps don't go... Say me Not enough memory !... In my Msd 16 gb !..
I have 1.48 ROM Ita.... Anyone can help me ?
Thanks in advance....

I just received my HD2, it's the orange french rom and tomtom7 is working ok.
Here is what I installed :
Tomtom 7.915.9196 + Carte Western & Central Europe 8.35.2421

I have an official version of TomTom but when I attempt to install it I get the following error message:
"Your device is not compatible with this version of Tom Tom Navigator!"

Hello,
I have A touch HD2 and I have the message "Your device is not compatible with this version of Tom Tom Navigator!" when I install the 7.916.9189 vga version but the 7.915.9196 works great.
I hope it can help you.

My problem is that I have a legal copy of Tom Tom map of WE but as TT is not yet supported on HD2 I have no way of linking the Map to my device.
All works fine on my Diamond but now I will format and sell the Diamond but want to link the TomTom account to the new phone...
But TomTom do not recognise the phone.....

for those who dont want to use copilot:
--> my device: HD2 bough without any branding, simlock etc, in Austria, ROM 1.43.407.2 (70124) GER
i got "Sygic mobile maps 9" running which is suitable for WindowsMobile, Android AND Symbian - at the same time, just different installers as it seems (only tested it on WM)
its VERY fast finding sattelites & finding the way (Vienna to Hannover which is about 1000km took about 20 seconds), there are maps for i think all over the world and the complete europe maps is 80€ (i'm sure you can find it as an illegal working download....)
this is the way i avoided copilot & tomtom...
hope you find a working solution =)

Tomtom v7.915 build 9196 Black Edition is an Unofficial version, but works on the HTC Leo (It show how speed is the community, unlike tomtom ...) It fix the BT bug.
It's for the moment the only way to have a working tomtom. But, as ever, maps will work only if you have the good DCT : a map will work for only ONE device. The use on an other device is forbidden.
Be careful : maps 840.2562 won't work on WinCE devices

Thanks, it works, no more BT annoyance !

Your device is not compatible with this version of TomTom NAVIGATOR 7

Hi!
Just bought the TOM TOM Navigator 7 from a retailer in Sweden.
Its the 1OK0.054.01 delivered on a 2 GB SD.
The "Application version = 7.910" (found in the "Release file")
Trying to install the CAB file from SD or copying it to internal memory (installing it from there) gives the same error:
"Your device is not compatible with this version of TomTom NAVIGATOR 7"
My Diamond 2 is brand new (1 day) delivered with WM 6.5 from factory.
I have looked around quite a lot but it seems like no one have this problem.
Due to the fact that the Diamond 2 IS supported according to TOM TOM today it makes me quite...upset.
Thanks

put your sd card in a reader and connect to TomTomHome maybe it wil upgrade you to the latest version of tomtom.
Your version is old the latest version that works on the TD2 is 7.918.9193

Hi!
Thanks for your help but it did not work.
Tried to update SD card with TOM TOM Home 2.
After reading the help section it clearly states that Navigator is not upgradable that way. Seems only to compatible with stand alone units from TOM TOM with cards..
So... This will be a tricky one...
Any other solution?

Hi,
there's a working Tomtom7 version (7.916) available for download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556316 . Make sure you choose the WVGA version. From what I've read around and from the fact that the post hasn't been closed since years, I assume that it is legal. Be also aware that you will need a "clipped audio fix", look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513621.
You should be able to register and run the maps you purchased.
Ciao!
Ah, I almost forgot...here's a little "extra" I've implemented: use the hardware zoombar to zoom in/out Tomtom maps! Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5000902&postcount=58 . Enjoy

clipped audio is no longer necessary with the latest versions
