Hi,
I'll upload some english files here. If you need other languages, let me know.

You are a real gent..
I just discovered that the voice files and installation on tomtom 2 works with tomtom 3, as I prefer the loud version on tomtom 2 as opposed to the voice on tomtom 3 it was a nice surprise. For anybody interested in doing the same, just install tomtom 3 as normal without voice files then run setup on tomtom 2 and choose change/install voice files, it should install normally. I found a program also that allows you to switch voices on tomtom, you can have several voices/languages on memory card and switch between them as the feeling takes you, very handy if more than one person uses the system and they have different preferences in voice type or different language.
Voice switcher for tomtom can be found here and I believe it is free.

Please, post Italian voice files.
Other issue: I canot find gps files neither on ppc nor on sd card; I think it's due to lost of memory on sd card (I use same device to store downloaded files from fttp); now , when I start TT3, it advice:can not launch gps control panel.Can you post here gps files to avoid use the only two chance to install tomtom before expire?
Thanks

Italian Voicefiles
Hi Cor,
I uploaded the Italian voice files. I do not have the Italian maps, so I can't upload them. I think the Benelux files are quite useless for you.

Hi all,
May i say first of all what an amazing job with WM5 on the XDAII. Love it! all works as expected. Thing is i can't get MS Voice command to install. I install 1.0 and i can a warning that i need to install it in main memory. So i select device. I then upgrade to 1.5 which requires you to unistall 1.0 from your PPC. I select MS voice command from the add remove programs but i get an error and the app won't completely uninstall. There fore i can't install 1.5 AAAAAHHHH. I love WM5 but i use MS Voice all the time. Anyone any thoughts ?????
Any ideas?
Anyone got this running??
Love to know how ???
please ?????
check your windows folder to see if you have a VoiceCommand.unload (not sure of exact filename) file, and try moving it to a backup folder.
Check your registry for old voice command installation entries and backup and remove them.
Then install 1.5
V
it's on the list so somebody are bound to know how
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20727&highlight=voice+commander+2005
on the top of my head i would say
change the .exe to zip and copy out the cab file and transfer it to your device and run it from there from the 1.5 versions mind you
Thanks guys, having had a good look around the forum it would appear that you cannot install 1.5 becuase you can't fully uninstall 1.0.
Have you tried removing registry entries and the .unload file?
If windows doesn't know that VC is already installed, it shouldn't complain.
V
This was also my problem 2 months ago. What I did was to install MSVC 1.0 then I upgraded to 1.5. This 1.5 was installed to XDA 2 2003 SE. Then I upgraded my active sync. to 4.1 and upgraded my Device OS to WM5.0 v 1.60C. After a successful upgrade I place my XDA 2 in the craddle and using the pop up window of Active sync 4.1 I pressed Tools > Add Remove Program check the box under VC 1.5 then check device for installation, installed in device and there I get the VC 1.5.
In my case there is no need to down grade since I have two xda units.
Griffy wiffy, in your case you must downgrade or you can't get away with the error.
Another way is to check and remove all VC 1.0 in both Desk top and device by using this:
Device : START > SETTINGS > ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS
Desktop: START > CONTROL PANEL > ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS
Make sure you already upgraded your VC 1.5 in the desktop before removing VC 1.0
Good Luck
VC 1.5 can be installed on WM 5.0 1.60c & LOUD incoming
After several tries, I also managed to successfully install VC. I can't remember the exact steps, but basically you have to first install VC 1.0 on both the PC and the PPC, then remove the VC 1.0 from the PPC, and upgrade to VC 1.5.
Maybe this will help: after installing VC 1.0, kill the activesync connection (uncradle/unplug the device). Then uninstall 1.0. Cradle the device again, and upgrade to 1.5.
I discovered that the announcing call was very quiet. So I turned it off because it was muting my ringing tone as well, and I'd end up missing calls.
Then I discovered how to increase the volume!!
Edit the following registry:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\VoiceCommand1\
change AttenuationCategory from 3 to 1
Good Luck! 8)
I have been able to install VC with no problem at all but I have found that for me is actually slows the whole system down. I have tried it from several fresh installs and it is consistant across the board.
Not had chance to look at this for a while but i am still not able to install MS Voice command on WM2005. Please if anyone out there has a clear way of doing this please please let me know !!!
THANKS
Hello THere
Just use the the .CAB file of Microsoft Voice 1.5 and run it from the PPC i am using MV 1.5 on WM5 with no problem .
best regards
The problem is i can't get msvoice command 1.0 to uninstall. 1.5 says it won't install until its gone. I have deleted all the file and gone through the registry as much as i can. Please does anyone know what i have to remove from the registry to get rid of 1.0.???????????
Please does anyone know how to manually uninstall MSVoice command 1.10 from WM2005. registry keys, files etc...
Try to re-install the 1.0 again and uninstall it again.

I have heard that it is possible to use TomTom US maps which are currently not recognised, with version TomTom 5.21, which I need to resolve the keyboard issue with my QTEK 9090. Can anyone give me an idiots guide to how to do this?
The maps are accessible with TomTom 5.0, but with no soft or hard keyboard it is difficult to navigate!
Sweaty
Tell me about this I paid £90 for the offical Tom Tom Maps of the US only to find that now they wont work with Tom Tom 5 :evil: :evil: :evil: And i go to the US a lot :evil:
Maps that work
After trying numerous things, bought the TOMTOM masp for 129 euros at Tomtom.com. They work fine by installing them to a directory on the PC and then copying the folder to the root on the storage card. The nav 5.21 sees them and loads them. Hope this helps!!
Can you explain how to do this for a idiot :shock: :shock:
Map Loading
Fozzer
Please check your Personal Mail ( PM Icon at the top), I sent you one yesterday. Otherwise it depends what was delivered by TomTom and what version of TomTom you are running.
I got an executable set up file which leads me through an installation to PPC. However on of the options let's you decide on "Other Location(advanced)" then lets you choose "Folder on Computer". Once completed you can copy the files (entire folder) onto the storage card using Acitvesyncs explore option.
This completed file folder works for all versions of TomTom as I have treid 5.0, 5.1 and 5.21. The only version of maps I can get to work for the USA with 5.1 or 5.21 is the version 644 of TomToms Maps which I paid for.
Hope this is more clear
644? I thought that version applied to Euro maps. Isn't the v567 maps for the USA the latest?

Ive found that the game Caver works well on the diamond 2 so far!
The slingplayer software for Slingmedia's Slingbox works well even in full screen.
Microsoft Voice Command 1.60 is really, really useful. I used it for a long time now on various devices.
I was disappointed at first that it wouldn't work on the D2 but now I have fixed it. The issue is with activation from a hardware button (there's only one programmable button anyway on the D2 and that is the long press button 1 - the send key). When I went into the button settings and assigned "Voice Command" from the list it just gave an error bleep and nothing else happened. It did work from a bluetooth headset though. So I tried running the actual program "voicecmd.exe" from within a file manager and it worked perfectly!
So, I created a shortcut into \\windows\start menu\Programs so that I had an entry in the programs list for "voicecmd". I then assigned that command into the buttons settings and it works fine now.
I hope this will help anyone else.
Just tested G-Config, it works perfectly!!!

Which version of MSVC are you using?
I have tried 1.6.19965 but I get no BT activation of VC, pressing the send key is fine (after your startup link suggestion).

Have you enabled voice command in settings? I have 1.6.19214 installed and BT activation works just fine once voice command is enabled. I don't bother with send key activation.

Thanks for your reply. Did you get an "unrecoverable error is setup" when installing? I did, but it seems to be working now after making the voicecmd.exe link in Start Menu/Programs and - here is the key - restarting the phone.

Enable GPS mode in the camera for geotagging and TomTom
Like previous phones, the Topaz includes a mode for embedding your location (from the GPS) into photographs.
This can be enabled by changing the value of the DWORD value Enable from 0 to 1 in the registry at HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/P10.
Initial indications are that the bug that plagues earlier versions (that of placing locations between 0 and 1 degree west of Greenwich to the east of Greenwich instead) is fixed.
To use this feature in TomTom Navigator, take a picture in GPS mode, then copy the photo out of the My POI folder into a folder named GEO-PHOTOS in the root of your storage card. Then TomTom can Navigate to Picture using the embedded co-ordinates.

No, it installed fine. I always get that error when I install the MSVC UK version I bought though. Didn't bother with that version this time and went straight to 1.6.19214 as that had worked perfectly on my HD before I lost it.

Is there an easy way (like in winXP) to get acces to the registry of the TD2?
I don't know how to get in. Please help.
Is there also a registry fix to fix the problem with Tomtom (cutting off voices) on the TD2? (see also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3660120#post3660120):D
Thanx in advance.

The version of Microsoft Voice Command that I use is in a different number range to the ones posted here. It is v1.60.4622.0 and hasn't been updated for ages as far as I know.
After putting the shortcut into the programs menu and rebooting, it works very well.

Yes the above work.
What I have found that also works:
1. Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3 with NetCF 3.5 installed. Some settings do not change though and the Touch 3D in the extra settings does not work (incompatibility issue).
2. Xmatrix Battery and Memory Meter works (but you must restart/soft reset your D2 after installation even though there is no "restart" option after installation).
3. I have TomTom navigator 7.4 (Australia Maps) and it works ok.
4. RJV SMS Scheduler works a treat but I cannot turn off the audible notification of message sent. Not that annoying only if I am asleep!
5. Kaldma Stopwatch.
6. I presume Tmyynt SD TuneUp works. Installed fine and noticed a slight improvement in file transfer between SD card and device and external computer.
7. TF3D2 Tweak OK, except Program Icons Off does not work. Manilla Landscape works and is soooo cool.
That's it for now. What I am reeeeeally waiting/hoping for is a HardSPL that works on the D2 so we can start flashing a whole bunch of new ROMS.
Best regards to you all.

Hi guys
There are loads of TomTom discussions but nothing i have found that helps me. Can any of you help. Before i waiste £28 on a map i cant get at
I bought an HTC HD2
Transfered my SD card over from my Touch HD and tried to load TT 7.14. it opened but didnt see my maps and i got the bluetooth error. So i installed the 7.15 peoplee here talked about, but still couldnt see my maps.
So i purchased new maps from TomTome site, plugged my HD2 into TomTom home 2.7.
TomTom home does not recognise the HD2 so i can not download my new maps.
Can i download my maps manually so i can put it onto TomTom myself, or have i just waisted £28?
Hey Mate i may be able to help,
Basically i had Tomtom 6 on my other xda handsets and transferred it over to the HTC HD2. now i did the same i brought the updated maps and the only way you can put it on your device is via the tomtom home, however tomtom home, newest edition doesnt work with mobiles, you have to download the older version 1.6 which is in small writting under the main download found on the website below
http://www.tomtom.com/services/service.php?id=16&tab=87
I had to contact tomtom cause i had same problem and he told me to do this, they say that HTC HD2 is not in there list as operating tomtom, but i told him mine works fine no problems and it still does, so this will help in getting the new maps on, all i can suggest is try this first and see if it see's the new maps.
what are you trying to do with bluetooth and tomtom to get bluetooth error??
nothing with bluetooth but when i install tomtom i get the usual bluetooth error.
cheers for the advice, i will try it and that you know
thanks

Hi
It is problem with tomtom and bloutooth. But you can by-pass this problem very easly. It dosent matter wich tomtom you install. I have installed ttn7.915.9196.qvga_black.cab and it is working perfect without any problem.
What you can do is!!
1) Install your tomtom as you used to.
2)Connect your HD2 to PC an syncronize it!
3) Open files on your HD2 and copy file name Navigator which is in file programs! copy whole file to your PC.
4) Then you have to unstall tomtom and reboot the phone
5)Then copy whole file as it is on your pc back to the phone!(navigator file)
If you click on tomtom navigator.exe then it will work as it was before. and it is no problem with bloutooth. But if you would like to have on your program list to that you can make short cut, you have to do this!
1) Now it is easy to make a file under progarms: You do such:
Start--- filemanaging---my unit(phone)---windows----start meny---programs
You make a new file. dosent matter the name.
2) copy file name tomtom navigator.exe to this file(look 1) Until here you can do it on your pc . But after that you have to do it on you HD2
3) Click on
Start--filemanaging--myunit---windows---start meny---programs---newfile(or what ever you gave name to).
4)push your finger on only file there by the name tomtom navigator.exe, then cut it.
5) click on up. It is left handside down. Then you are in the file programs.
6) pushyour finger somewhere on the screen.( Just like wright click on pc)
You chose her ;copy short cut.
7) now you can delet that file that is empety. If you dont it is ok.
It is finshed. If you click on start, you will find tomtom there now. If you did what I told you.
Good luck
thank you to both of you.
