Can anyone tell me how to install tom tom 5 to the xda exec? I copy the files direct to my sd card and it's supposed to auto install after re-installing the sd into the exec.The start up screen comes up and goes off - nothing else.Needless to say I've installed the same onto my xda II without any problems - any help appreciated.
WM5 + tomtom
Hi,
Tomtom is not compatible with WM2005, according to the tomtom site. they dont have any news on when it will be.
cheers
Paul
Thanx for the quick reply Paul, it saves me pulling any more of my hair out.Seems as always I should have waited until they ironed all the problems out.
Cheers mate!!
Search the forum, you can use TomTOm 5.1 with the XDA Exec apparently if you install the CABs to the Storage card. It has to be the update 5.1, V5 won't work at all.
HTH
Fin
Although they offer no support it does work but the standard installer will not work. The maps are really nice on the higher res screen.
You have to copy the CAB files to your SD card and run them manually. EG double click them.
You will need TomTom 5.1
The files you need are
ttn.cab
gps.cab
wzd.cab
PIMAddin.cab
I run them in that order. Then i use Checkpoint version 5 for the POI warnings like speedcameras etc.
My TomTom BT Receiver is found automatically but a friend has a third party BT Receivers and we had to mess about a lot to get it to work. There are instructions in another thread on here for that if you need it.
Again thanx to everyone for the info, in reading that I managed to get it up and running - what a vast improvement to the last version and with superior graphics.
Cheers for the help!!!
Tom Tom 5 with XDA Exec + Pharos igps
Dingo, you're right about 3rd party gps receivers. Can't seem to find any gps signal at all, when pairing the two it comes up with a question mark and the name of the receiver ( no question mark on the xda2).Is there drivers to download and if so where do you download them to or can you re-direct me to the site/post you're talking about. Thanx matey....
TT5 on WM5 5.10 install manual, activation probs on maps
HI,
Did as said but have problems once firin' up TT5.
It comes up blank with say Great Britain i choose, it asks for activation.
I entered on TT website but said not valid, neway around this ?
Thanks in advance,
Olly
Evening guys.
Ok, think I have sealed my own fate to some extent here, but hoping there might be a solution.
I had a Kaiser which I installed TomTom 7 on using the hack whereby you buy the maps for the GO 720 and trick the Home app into thinking that it is a 720 (before the diamond maps were available - what can I say, I'm impatient! ;-) )
Anyway, predictably, I've now got my TP and have installed the tomtom 7 cab onto the device. However, it tells me that activation failed. I would go to the ttcodes.com website, but for some reason I can't find the damned product code for the maps on my tt account page (it says "product code , " instead of a number??!).
All I want to do is "unactivate" the maps somehow and then do an OTA refresh with my new product/device code. Is this possible?
To be honest, I'm a bit fed up with TomTom these days. I've spent literally hundreds of pounds on them over the past few years and upgrading on PDA is always either incredibly difficult or lags behind the TomTom hardware. If I can't get this sorted, I might just cut my losses and give ALK a new customer...
Cheers guys
squiggs
what version of Tomtom did you install?? 7.450 or 7.451
To change is easy however you can only change your device once in 6 month period. in tt find your product code - press the satellitestrength button followed by pressing on version number. In this list you will find your product code. Goto tomtom web site, log into your account and goto change my device at the bottom of the screen you can type in your new device product code. once done, you then need to download your map to tom tom home as the activation code will be different within the file. Sync your tp and all should work.
let me know if map share and traffic work. I can not get these to work.
@ Xtreme - installed 7.451
@ Ardsar - THanks, but the problem is, I can't get that far. It asks me to choose a map, so I choose my UK & Ireland map and it throws up the activation error.
Thoughts?
cheers

copy the ttnavigator.BIF from the root of your memorycard to your pc and open it with Notepad.
now you can read your devicecode
have you contacted TomTom already with this problem?
also delete your map - it should then let you download a free city map if you havnt done so yet.
Aha!
I've deleted the map and downloaded the freebie. Will work on work on it from both angles.
Haven't contacted TomTom yet (was hoping to avoid the pain!) but will do if I can't get anywhere.
Will let you know how I get on.
Thanks

Arrgh! It now shows the map for download on TomTom home but says "This item does not work on your device. Therefore it cannot be installed".
It obviously realises that it's not a 720 but that's what the map's for.
Have you vchanged your code on tomtom website? The map on your pc is prob still for your old device. Goto my maps on tomtom web site and re download. (move your old map to an area outside of tomtom home just incase it goes wrong. usually found under my docs/tomtom/downloads (or similar)
Hi again guys,
Ok - checked the tomtom website and compared to the product code that's on my account website, but they are already the same? I can only assume that TomTom home synchronises the two?
TomTom home still says "This item does not work on your device. Therefore it cannot be installed".
Any thoughts? I'm thinking that even if I speak to TomTom, they'll just say I shouldn't have bought the 720 map for the Kaiser and just to buy new maps? Seems to be the way they normally work. :-(
EDIT: I should note that there is no trace of my UK map on the device. Just the fresh TT install and my free download map of my area that I got last night.

Just a thought - did you delete your maps from tomtom home and your pc? If not i suggest you try backing them up to CD or something, remove them and try again. I'm not sure at what point the activation code is generated - ie when you install or download. Failing this, i guess x20 maps are not compatible.
Unfortunately, if you contact tomtom, they will just tell you to go away as version 7 is not released and supported in the UK. Sorry mate, i dont know what else to suggest. I used 710 maps on my kaiser which worked fine, i guess the x20 version maps are just to different.
Delete mapname.meta.dct and reactivate or generate a new .meta.dct by using a tt8_keygen.

Guess you have a choice to either buy the correct maps or move to ALK. I have Navigator live 7 (touch diamond edition) and i was not that impressed by it. Scrolling around the map is very very slow compared to tomtom, and the traffic module is not user friendly at all and requires intervention whilst driving!. Also they use navteq for their mapping data however the latest map is about 9 - 12 months out of date, although some of the road changes that have happened in my area are more up to date. From what i understand, tomtom will be releasing version 7 at some time so you may want to hang it there. Somehow, traffic started working last night, so i am happy now!
have a qeustion wil tomtom 6.030 work on touch diamond 2 because i have dis one all ready
i really hope its gonna work
tnx
hope somebody response
No, you'll need Tomtom 7, which you can get from this forum. Tomtom 7 does not work with your version 6 maps, so you'll have to purchase new maps. Yes it sucks. Also, you cannot move your Tomtom services, such as Traffic, over to your TD2. This is because Tomtom refuse to support the device.
Sorry for the bad news.
Personally, I'm so pissed off with Tomtom that I'm seriously considering using something else like IGo.
tom tom
yes i'am not gonna buy the tom tom 7 i'am really mad too
i have igo 8 also then i'm just gonna put that one on my td2
really tom tom sucks for not make tom tom 6 work on td2
thanks for your answer you really help me out

Hey all! On my phone it is that version that works perfectly! If there are problems with the voices, simply copy the voices folder on your memory card!

I got ttn7.915.9196.vga_black_yarda working here perfectly with with Western-Europe 830.2307. It came in my All-programs list and i added it myself to the "today"-screen with comes with your HTC.
Hello
Where should I put the voices folder?
When I start the tt7 they ask me to add a new card, then I go directly on the website to choose the card I download it but then where should I install it ?
Thank you
Voices goes in the root directory of the SD card. Same as the maps directory.
Latest tt7 bought from tt on 4GB microSD does'nt install nor work

How did you do it, man?
I bought the SD-Card TomTom 7 with Europe_1GB maps (825 built 2159) offered on TomTom's website since some weeks.
Neither install, manual install, TomTom Home nor something else works.
The extracted "TomTom Navigator.exe" and also the Home app 2.6 refused to support my O2 TDII device.
Then I installed 7.910.9185 black VGA, but I was only able to download one city map. My bought Europe maps are recogniced, but rejected when I select it through menu "maps change".
How can I make use of my Product code now? Or is there any chance at all?
Please help, or send me some hints by PM.

You have to make a shortcut to windows\startmenu\programs.
You can copy the file and paste it as a shortcut to the programs folder with explorer. If you don't like the name "Shortcut ..." you can rename the shortcut to whatever you like.
If you now look at your programs than you will see your shortcut. There is also the problem of the clipped voice. You can run any audio program except Media Player with a silent audio file, then the voice clipping is gone.
You can also search for the audio problem fix. Someone has made a cab file to fix al the problems in one installation.

Tomtom 6 'memory access violation' ideas wanted!
Had Tomtom 6 (fully legal) working fine on my Kaiser. On TD2/Topaz, whatever I do (soft,hard reset, load from different sources) I get the same 'Tomtom cannot start: memory access violation' msg. Internet search shows lots of people with same prob, but no answers or workarounds. Seems to me might be screen/display related as TT starts to load but with squashed format before hanging. Reluctant simply to buy TT7 in case a) that exhibits the same prob and TT specifically do not support the TD2/Topaz at the mo and b) some people seem to have got TT6 working fine on TD2.
Any ideas gratefully appreciated- might have to have a look at iGo as previous poster suggested, which is a shame as have used Tomtom since v2.
Thanks,
Tony

Tomtom doesn't give any Resolution errors, so it should work for any resolution, but the Tomtom Version Tomtom 7.910
Tomtom 7.910 needs v 8.XXX maps, but you should be careful some map versions are only for PNAs ... You you should download the maps compatible with PDA or PDA&PNA
Tomtom is the best for Europe, but I do not like its simplicity, I like iGO 8.3.X Maps are updated monthly
Tomtom can not identify your device's com ports as well, for example, it may find your internal gps as a bluetooth gps, or viceversa.. So you should search for any kind of gps device in settings of tomtom in case if it does not recognize automatically

QVGA TT doesnt work on VGA or WVGA.
Maps are update continualy via map share.
TT identify COM ports without problems on all HTC devices or zou can set port manually.
any lag on tomtom?
On the videos looks like tomtom have a lag of 20 30 meters, and trying myself igo and copilot doesnt have lag at all, so, why use tomtom?
Guys here you'll find all latest TT. For sure on HD2 you should use VGA version:

I shared QVGA version of 7.910 on one web site, but before sharing I tried it on Htc HD, Htc Diamond, Htc Diamond 2, Htc TyTN II. So these resolutions are, QVGA, VGA, WVGA.
TT sometimes identify your Internal GPS as a bluetooth GPS, I say this information if some can not find their internal GPS, aim is to help to solve issues not to say bad things about TT.
If you have licensed version you may find correct maps, but ones that do not have should be careful to download maps that are compatible with PDA.
Regards.
Anyone has the same problem?
I've tried TT 7.910, 7.915 and 7.916, but all have a refresh lag.. So normally the screen (your position) is updated every second, but at my HD2 it updates in 5 or 7 seconds!
I've tried the internal GPS as wel the COM4 and 9600 baud GPS...
Google Maps works perfect (as far as I can see).
Don't know what to do about it.
Anyone?
Xmoo, The TomTom application works indeed but as soon as it starts it says it can't find any maps and then tries to make an internet connection in order to download maps at www.htc-citymaps but it then results in an error as the webpage doesn't exist.
How do you get TomTom to work with the maps and speech ?
Note: the installation CAB was 9 MB's hardly enough to conatin a full working navigation tool so it's clear that i'm missing data.
TT Maps n voices
black vga cab is 13.3MB - no voices, no maps no htc-citymaps - no joy....

An other issue could be that the maps you are using are not compatible with your tomtom version..

With WM 6.5 you don't need the TomTom Audio Fix anymore
All 7 versions of TomTom wil work with the HTC TD2.

Now I have v7.916 Build 9192.
There is a new version of TT
TomTom Navigator 7.918.9193
can anyone please let me know what settings you use for Tomtom 7?
For example, do you select the "internal gps" or "other enmea"? If you select the "Other .." then what "COM" and "Baud Rate" do you use?
I have wm6.5 and tomtom 7.45.
Thanks
It depends what you are using
What is your device?
Do you use an external GPS device?
I use what is in my signature en because i use GPSModdriver i take
other nmea - 9600 baud - GPSModdriver

If you select "Other", choose COM4, baud rate can be 4800 or more, 19200 may be a good choice. Note that some versions of Tomtom 7 do not show properly the list of received satellites, both with "internal Gps" or "Other..."
One most recent version of Tomtom solves this problem and also solves the audio cutoff issue (for WM6.1 users).

No i have the TD2 also and in the beginning i used internal GPS and it worked great accept for the lag.
