Hi guys, I have tomtom navigator 5 on my xda ii. When I set my preferences (home page, etc.) and exit the program, the settings are not saved when I return. On my pc I would assume one of the files is set to read only, but I can't find any way of changing the file properties on my xda. Can anyone please help??? :?:
is your memory card write protected?

I have xda IIs, home,favourites and recent locations deleted on exit, can anyone help? :?
as discussed before here files are probably copied directly from cd. This means they are read only and will not be updated!
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!?
Matt
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.
HELP!!
Updated to Navigator 5.1 thanks to some great advice here, but Navigator still isn't saving my Home, Favourites etc...
Anyone know how (or if) I can get it to do so?
Thanks in advance
tomtom
I had to copy maps to desktop, right click properties and un tick read only, move back to folder and it all works.
Thanks.
Am I right in thinking the maps should be stored on the storage card? Mine are just in 2 folders - 1 for GB & 1 for Austria.
Oh No!!
did as you suggested, but now it can't find the maps at all!!
Can anyone tell me where the map files should be stored - thanks.
You can get TT to save home location, favourites etc by deleting the Great-Britain-Map.cfg file. This will then be re-created the next time TT loads and now retain your information
Hi,
I have just installed tomtom 5 on my pda. looks good. I have changed my home location and added some favourites and changed some POI. if i exit out of tomtom and then go back in, all my changes are lost.
Does anyone know why and if there is a way to get round this??
Thanks in advance

thats weird, i have no problem with my tom tom and its cracked, are you using a legit one? and how have you installed the files, did you put the files on the defult directory being your mmc and not in folders?? if you are not using legit one you might have to download another one else where or download it again.

You do exit in the correct way dont you?
Make sure all the files are not 'read only'...
yes I exit the correct way. how do I check if the files are read only?? and if they are, how do I change them??

hamzar,
Make sure your SD card is not locked, and delete the (map_name).cfg file in the map folder. Next time you start tomtom, the file is recreated. Should sort it, jobs a good'un, etc.

Just got my hands on htc hd2 yesterday and love it.
Ive installed and got working tomtom but did it by copying the files to the sd card rather than installing so i could avoid the bluetooth problems.
Now the only problem is I can only run tomtom through file explorer and cant seem to get the tomtom icon in the quick link section on the home screen.
Anyone out there can help out a windows mobile newbie
p.s. tomtom location : memory card/Tomtom/TomTom Navigator.exe
