Hi there
I have just installed TT5 on my XDA2 ( WM2003). The package came with 2 maps for Spain. I should probably mention that we are talking about a cracked version of TT5. 8) The installation was ok but once I start the program and I go through all the settings ( language bla bla bla…) I get a message saying “maps not found”. I know that the maps are there, on the memory card. Is there anything I’m missing? Is there any folder where I should place the maps? Or anything in the registry that should be changed?? I would appreciate your help as I intend to travel to Spain in the next 4 days.
Thanks

How did you install it ?
Which version was it ?
As far as i am aware ... ou need to install the map that came with it at the same time, them it will reconise the extra maps.
Gee..i’m so smart. 8) After a night of fiddling with TomTom I found the problem. Once installed TomTom will create a folder called TomTom ( dooh ) in My Documents. Inside that folder you will find a file called CurrentMap.dat. Copy the file on your PC and open it with a notepad. In my case the maps were located on the Storage Card. All you have to do insert the path where your maps are located. I.E : \Storage Card\Iberia-Map\
And voila…is working. Just got a Fortuna Slim GPS and everything works absolutely fine.

Anybody know how to add a map in Tomtom 5?, I have copied Deutschland-Map to my SPV M500 but my Tomtom does not recognize it.
I have tried to modify a file in MyDocuments called "CurrentMap.dat" by way of copy the file on my PC and open it with a notepad. In my case the maps were located on the Storage Card then just insert the path where the maps are located. I.E : \Storage Card\Deutschland-Map\ but still it doesn't work...!! :? Any idea would be highly appreciated..!!!
take the card out soft reset then put the card back in if that doesnt do it try a soft reset with the card in
tomtom map not found
I found this to be a problem also. I've got all the maps on the storage card along side the GREAT BRITAIN map and it doesn't pick them up.
I also tried amending the CURRENTMAP.DAT file to reflect the correct path, but nothing changes. Has anyone else suffered with this that could help us please? as this is getting really frustrating.
:lol:
yes, this makes frustration as Tomtom5 doesn't pick the extra map like Deutschland, Great Britain, Spain etc etc.
In this case, my standard map is Benelux so after I modify the file called "currentmap.dat" in Tomtom folder like : \Storage Card\Deutschland-Map\, it always returns to Benelux map and no other map options.
Before I changed that file the size was about 31kb, after I changed it became 62kb, however...once I started Tomtom to see whether it picked the Deutschland map, it returned to the original size of 31kb.....****t...!!! (
anyone can help me pleasseee...?
Map Not Found
Hi Guys, i Have had the map not found error a few times, i find its some how deleting this file from my memory card " Great_Britain_Plus.mid " not sure why. Once i put it backin the zip folder all is g00d, think it could be my windows media player adding it to libary en me removing it.. who no's.. hope it helps .. LAterZ
I also meet this problems. Map not found...
any ideas?
map not found
I simpley reinstalled the Tom Tom 5 software and it found the maps straight away!
I found this solution for me.
In each map folder there is a PNA file, e.g. Great_Britain-Map.PNA, this can be opened with notepad.
The last line of this PNA file for the maps that did work no problem were all the same number, 566. So, I opened their PNA file and changed that number to be the same as the maps that did work and bingo. it picked them up.
Give it a go.

USA Maps
I don't have the USA maps for TomTom 5....can anyone help me out!?

I had this problem when i first used TomTOm
The way i got it working was to install again but make sure you install the benalux map, leave it there then add your own maps.
Once your map is installed and youve ran TomTom, swap to your map then you can remove the benalux map.
Hello,
This has got me pulling my hair out of my already balding head !.
I have TomTom Nav 6 on an old Pocket PC (HP 2210), and the full 7-digit postcode search works perfectly on it.
I loaded the very same software onto my Himalaya and i cannot for the life of me get the full 7-digit postcode search !. It defaults to 3/4 figure postcode (e.g. DH8).
I have searched through various forums and have even installed a fullpostcode.cab (for the UK) file and it still doesn't work !!.
I also put an empty "Tomtom" folder in the navigator folder (as suggested on various forums), this again didn't work !
I know if i install TomTom Nav 6 on the Himalaya's main memory then this would probably solve the problem, but i cannot as i don't have enough room on the Himalaya (i have tried deleting other progs, but it doesn't free up enough space !). I threrfore have to install it on the 1GB SD card (but this is EXACTLY the same setup as on my HP Ipaq 2210, and it works great on there !!!)
The 7-digit postcode feature DID work for a while a few nights back, but then stopped working the day after! (so i know it IS possible for it to work properly on there!).
Can anyone please suggest what i could do because the 7-digit postcode lookup feature is much more useful since i prefer searching using the full postcode facility.
Best Regards,
Andrew
what version of tomtom 6 is it, you are running. Have you tried the latest version http://rapidshare.com/files/91182629/ttn_6_032_8351.cab
try that and see if it fixes your problem
Cheers for the quick reply, it's version 6.000. Thing is i have the very same version of Tomtom on my Ipaq2210, installed on a SD card etc, and it works perfectly on there, so cannot figure out why it's not working on the Himalaya. Also the fact that the full postcode search worked fine the other night, then just stopped working makes me wonder !
Regards,
Andrew
do you have the zip folder on the card the postcode data is in that folder ?
yeah, the zip is in the SD folder where all the other files are, as is the "Tomtom" empty folder (which was suggested by some people). The same structure as what's on the Ipaq2210 (whick works fine !!)
Regards
Andrew
try the new version i posted and see if that works, i have the full postcode working fine on the sd card
Hello, the version you uploaded won't work for me. It produces the error "Unable to start, an exception occurred: memory Access Violation" after running it upon installation !
Best Regards
Andrew
well i would assume that ,that is the problem, memory restrictions, as you dont have enough ram available and that is why it is only allowing you 5 postcodes instead of 7. As i have said i have it working fine on an xda 2. Using that cab i posted
i can remember people having this postcode file on their SD card and working fine tho !, just don't know why it doesn't work with mine, or why it worked one night on it then from then on it hasn't !!
Cheers,
Andy
Don't know if you have sorted this out but - The zip file normaly has to be placed in the same folder as the program file, but it will work if it is left on the SD card with a shortcut back to the program folder. This gives you a bit more room in the PDA memory.
I forgot to mention that the tomtom cab i posted is only for WM5
For Clarity on this one...
I had exactly same problem on Kaiser, postcode and voices worked one minute, then not the next.
To get it working I moved the voices folder to the PDA itself (Navigator Folder) not a size issue for me as i only moved 'Jane' data05.vif and chk
I then deleted the configuration file (collected.ini) in the voices folder, this means you then have to reselect voice in preferences.
Also moved the 'zip' folder to Navigator folder on the Kaiser.
All ok now.. HTH

Hi guys, i am trying to add a uk map to destinator without a PC. The problem im having is that all my pcs run ubuntu (not windows) so i cannot use the destinator software.
I have copied the map folder to the sd card that i have destinator on but everytime i load the app it doesnt show the map. Is there an .ini or registry setting that is pointing to the map location?
Answer is yes if anyone is searching, just copy them into the destinator.exe folder and all is well.
HD2-- footprint is set to use CoPilot as default navigator.it won`t start up googles either. Does anyone know how set this to GoogleMaps or TomTom and how to switch between these two.
TomTom works great on my HD2.
Thanks
+1 on this, i use tom tom so this would be great
push for this cool tricky idea
I definitely want this option! I dont use copilot at all. I would rather have iGO or google maps.

I HATE CoPilot Demo... To disable CoPilot from Footprint and Navipanel do this registry edit:
Locate
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\NaviSW
"SDKModule"="\windows\alksdk.dll"
And make "SDKModule" Value empty.
Soft reset phone.
Footprint converts to Google maps.
Navipanel will not work for gps navigation. Haven't found a good way to do that yet. But I'm trying and searching for solution
I found a simple sollution (just 2 minutes ago)
1. On your phone...got to folder where CoPilot is located
2. Rename CoPilot folder to CoPilot_ (or some other name not equal to CoPilot)
3. On your pc go to the folder (Tomtom) Navigator and copy the folder to the root folder where now CoPilot_ is located
4. On your phone rename Navigator folder to CoPilot
5. On your phone in the now created folder CoPilot, rename TomTomavigator.exe to CoPilot.exe
You should now have these folder:
CoPilot_ (or other name)
CoPilot
And possibly Novigator
restart en test...
Hope this will work out for you guys too
cheers Roy
Don't know why its taken me so long to follow up on this issue.
I've found a TomTom – VIC Public Toilets.ov2 – points of interest set.
I've also found that I can import them to my PC and also to my HD2 using CoPilot Central.
The trick is that the phone has to be actively connected via sync and NOT just plugged into the PC via the USB cable.
Then in copilot central | My Copilot | My Points of Interest | POIs on My Device
Although the table never shows anything I can Import the POI file and the POI image.
I even get a message to restart CoPilot to use the new POI set.
However, the new POIs never show and I can't figure out how to select them etc.
Any help from anyone who has successfully imported POIs for CoPilot would be greatly appreciated.
Copilot use CSV format for is POI.
You need to convert your OV2 to CSV.
Works fine for me.
xxxp://tomtom.gps-data-team.com/poi/ov2-to-csv.php
Hello,no convert necessary, just copy and paste ov2 poi in folder COPILOT/SAVE on your storage card and run Copilot . Poi will be added automatically . Otherwise you can import them with copilot central on your computer .
Hi guys,
Thanks heaps for the replies,
As I mentioned in my initial post, I DID use Copilot Central to import to my device.
But the POI never showed in the Copilot Central POI table.
I just tried to create a 'save' folder on the storeage card
using ActiveSync but it gave me an error.
I then connected as a disk drive and found the 'save' folder was already there.
The 'save' folder already contained the .ov2 and the .bmp.
So CoPilot Central must have worked.
The 'save' folder must be hidden under ActiveSync Folder Browser.
Now, how do I get CoPilot to recoginze the new POIs?
Or get CoPilot to show me that it had already loaded the POIs?
Or how to tell CoPilot to show me the POIs on the map.
etc.
Do you check them in settings/poi display ? Like i mentionned above,i just copy poi.ov2 in the save folder .
That was it?
Nothing else.
No setting tick this then reboot etc?
Farkle!
Will remove CP then reinstall and see.
It works for me,so no reason that it doesn't work for you ...
LOL. It might have worked for you with an extra tick here or there.
Nope. Removed and Reinstalled CoPilot.
Not happening.
Will reboot and see.
Well that was weird.
It asked me to install a .cab.
I did. Missed the name. I think it was a Copilo something .cab
Just installed
Wasn't not required to reboot.
And ran CoPilot.
CoPilot tells me there is a new POI.
Asks me to accept it.
Asks me to name the new catagory
then asks me to select the icon.
Then imports 1300 some odd POIs.
Still Not showing on map.
Had to go thru POIs to tick the very last one.
And Yep! Finally! There it is! My new POIs showing on the map.
That was weird!
Thanks for the help all.
All my best.
Happy for you that it works ...
remove please

Works perfectly on Android Copilot 8.2.0.218 too. Just imported all of my Good Beer Guide POIs over! Thank you.
