Hi,
Has anyone been able to use the full postcode facility that TT5 boasts it has. I can only find addresses using just the first 3 digits of a postcode and not the seven it is supposed to do.
Please help.
Cheers

Bet you're using an XDA Mini. I installed TomTom 5 on my XDA II, worked fine (had to apply the bluetooth gps com5 patch though). My dad installed exactly the same release on his XDA Mini, and could only see the first 3-4 digits. I don't know why this is.
Install the postcodes to the SD card, then navigate to the root of the sd card and create a new empty directory called tomtom. Basically tomtom interogates the directory to see if there is a tomtom folder, if there is then it looks for the post code dir otherwise it doesn't bother!!! Hows about that for bizarre prgramming!
Cheers,
JB
Sorted Thx
It now works well

Hi,
I am using an XDA11s with TomTom Navigator 5 on a 1gb SD card. Allworks well with my bluetooth - The really anoying thing is that the version on the card has already got a load of Faviourites+recent destination and the real annoying thing of all it starts up with a Home thats not mine. All can be reset / deleted using Tom Toms add remove favs and change Home etc, but when it is switched off and on again it loses all of my setting and Magically installs all the ones I deleted.
Any one know where this data is store in the file structure so I can remove it.
This problem only happens with my Great Britain Plus Map; my Great Britain only map works great and saves all my stuff no worries.
Really appreciate some help
Cheers Jay
It's the <map name>.cfg in your <map name> folder.

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!

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:

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?
I have an issue with my new XDA IQ smartphone and TomTom 5.2
I've moved from an XDA SP - basically put the tomtom memory card (with 5.2 working fine on the SP) into the XDA IQ.
It all installed fine and I have the application short cuts.
I've got the new IQ to recognise Tomtom GPS receiver.
When I start the application the disclaimer screen appears with the option "I agree".
Once selected Tomtom bombs out back to the "desktop" - the blue tooth that tomtom triggered is still enabled but then when I try and do anything with the phone, its really sluggish and unresponsive. A soft reset sorts this out.
I've tried tomtom support, but I guess that always asking too much
I've used the application unlock as described on this forum to allow any app to be installed, but again this has made no difference.
I guess thats it! - i'll be trying out other methods tonight so if i find a solution I will update the thread for others with similar problems.
Many Thanks!
Ive managed to fix the issue with this.
Created a new notepad text document - entered the path of the map file into the text document
\Storage Card\Great-Britain-Map\
*note - you may need to amend the above location to reflect your installation.
Saved the text document and renamed it
CurrentMap.dat
then use activesync explorer to move it to
\My Documents\TomTom
create the TomTom directory if it does not exsist.
Then it works!
IT WORKS!!!
I was having exatly the same problems with my tomtom.
I had recently updatet my Qtek 8310 with new rom, but nothing worked.
Then i tried, solomons trick, ( a couple of times) and it worked , only issue was there was no shortscuts, but that i created.
Mr Solomon, you're great!!!

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.

Hi everyone!
Anyone tried iGo for Android? I'd like to use it on my Kaiser, but there is a problem in screen size (resolution). I'm not able to cofigure it...
its workign great with hero
I had it on my Hero, but felt it was quite sluggish and slow.
I was using copilot live 8 and thought I'd evaluate iGo, but compared to copilot it didn't like it.
I will be sticking with copilot until TomTom decides to lauch their verson for the android.
I preferred iGo over TomTom on my touch diamond when I used that. It was much better than CoPilot and Navigon but the IGo My Way for android that I downloaded to use on my HTC Desire had a very low resolution so it was constantly just displayed on a third of my screen
When I tried iGo on my HTC Kaiser with Android, it was slow. Actions had delays, and even the 3D was slow.
iGo is great on Windows Mobile, but not for Android.
i have it too...i think it works kinda great....but does someone have a date when tomtom is going to come to android???
have it on my xperia and love it too
I need this app because it have the best maps of my country, but i have Acer Liquid with WVGA and i have the screen issue.
Has anyone found any solution???
You're talking about an official iGo version for Android or the motonav one ?
I use motonav with my desire and navigation is OK
I used the windows mobile version with my Omnia and "basic" navigation is exactly the same.
Now i'm waiting for an official version for android with more features than just "basic" navigation (Real time traffic, POI etc ...)
I tested it a while ago and it was rather slow, strange because it was running fine on my windows mobile HTC Touch2 which is a lot less performant than my current Samsung Galaxy S i9000.
I've then moved to Sygic mobile maps and I love it. It works very fast, has all the features I need and looks nice too
kongar thanks for your hard work. I did notice that while in night mode the sign post and land information signs are cut off at the bottom. I did not notice this for the day mode.
maps?
Anyone have maps for "iGo my way" i need map for sweden but having a hard time finding any..
You are right about the bug. I have the same issue.
I get a popup "Please insert your SD card containing iGO content files."
I have the iGO My Way folder on my sd card with content, license, and
scheme subfolders with all files and the map of my state.
Any advice??

Thank You, that was the problem!!!!! Renamed folder now it's working!
My igo8 map for Oklahoma from Windows Mobile works, but the poi does not. Any links to working poi's?
i have the ARIA with smaller screen resolution. Anyone have the appropriate APK for that?
Just to be clear, I had IGO8 on windows mobile. if I run the right version for my Aria, will it execute (so long as I rename the folder IGO instead of IGO8)?
When i try to open igo,i have this message:"missing or incomplete folder:igo/license".what i did wrong???thx!!!
