Hi,
I had the same problem with my Tomtom on my M1000.
I searched on internet and found a little program developped by a great developper!
In fact, it seems that when Tomtom starts, it modifies two registry keys.
I think I've found it on this forum but not sure.
The soft is called TTN Backlight Fix.
I cannot attach it because my Personnal computer has burned so I need to change hardware to get my datas back.
So you can try to search this little fix and instead of launching TTN directly you launch this fix which starts TTN for you.
Hai,
i have done this with a hex-editor. Succes garanteed!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=261317&page=2&highlight=tomtom+backlight
The hex-editor trick worked for me too.. allthough I am very curious if this is a bug in Tomtom 6 or in Windows Mobile. Or could it be a problem with the Rom-image we are using?
Since I have an official Tomtom 6 package, I will call them tomorrow and ask them for a solution.
I will keep you guys posted here
too bad, apparently I made it too easy for the supportcrew of TomTom to answer my question. They blamed my powersaveoptions. I rephrased the question and resubmitted the request. Let's see what happens next.
cheers..
so, a little update.. after alot of back and forth.. we're still nowhere
I even mailed the modified .exe. Now we happily wait for their second level support. 2nd level's first reaction was that I should hard-reset and reinstall.. which was obviously no solution (more like basic microsoft troubleshooting: if it doesn't work, reboot. If it still doesn't work, reinstall)
They came back from that, so we now await their newest ideas..
Will keep you posted.

Hi all,
I am trying to work out how to install the TomTom Navigator 5 Series maps onto the Polaris. It does not seem to be going very well. I was using these maps with the jamin and tomtom5. Do I really need to buy new maps? I hope not as these work and are perfectly good. Please could someone enlighten me please?
Kind Regards,
Will

I guess the problem is that you have tomtom 6 on tc and want to use tomtom 5 maps. You could try installing them using tomtom home. Or you could try uninstalling tomtom 6 from the tc and installing tomtom5. if u have bought the software and maps, you could email tomtom customer services and explain the problem (i.e. that u cannot transfer the maps on ur new device), maybe they could be of help.
hope this is helpful
TT5 works fine on my Touch Cruise. You first have to remove TT6 from the device. Then, copy the 4 CABs to a temporary dir on your SD-card and run them. Install the cards you need on a temporary dir on your PC and copy them to the SD-card.
I copied the card dirs from another device. All settings and speed cams where copied to my TC.
I hope this brief explanation will help you.

Thanks Joop and Jackster....
I have had a reply from tomtom........(info for anyone else)
"Dear Mr Richardson,
Thank you for contacting TomTom Customer Support with regards to your PDA.
Navigator 5 maps are unfortunately not compatible with the software of Navigator 6.
You will have to use the maps provided with navigator or buy new maps.
Please check the compatibility of your device , you could do tis by going to our website under PDA/Mobile"
Its a ****** scam! At least Microsoft aren't that bad! "Here buy Nav 5, (XP) whoops you have upgraded to Nav 6 (Vista) none of your programs work, sorry you have to buy them again!!!!!!
Brilliant Thanks Tomtom for the support and great service! What other people sell navigational software? (Rhetorical Question, PLease do not reply!)

Hi All,
I recently moved to NZ and noticed that TOMTOM do not make NZ maps for TT5 WM5.
I have been looking for ages and am desperate to get some maps on my pda even if it means installing something like Garmin or an open source one but I am unable to find a good install guide for the M5000. I did try using a Garmin XT I think, but it did not see my BT GPS.
I will probably need to install some new software to replace my TomTom5 what is the best one, it has to work with a bluetooth gps device with my PDA.
Hi there
This site has opensource legit maps of NZ, uses garmin format.
http://nzopengps.org/
Garmin has a weird way of selling their software, forcing you to buy it on their chip, rather than ability to purchase an unlock code. Unless the software it is unlocked your phone won't pick up the internal GPS.
Needless to say there are ways around this that you should be able to google a solution.
Here's a thread on the GPS issue for the Vogue (aka Okta Touch in NZ)
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=6&topicid=20623
Thanks you your reply,
If I was to download Garmin which version should I be looking for as there are so many I am unsure which one would be compatible with my M5000 WM5.
Do I have to flash my PDA for Garmin to work, I hope not as I have tried to unlock the phone in the past with firmware and it fails, something to do which the country code which was odd as it was purchased in the UK in a batch of 5, all the others worked except mine.
Hi All
just upgraded (or should that be downgraded) to a TD2 but I cant get either version of TT 6 or 7 to install. In both cases it tells me the software/device are incompatible...
Device data WM 6.1 pro build 21042.1.6.1
processor MSM7200A - 528MHz
All assistance greatly appreciated as I want/need it for my hols startin Sat!!
Thanks
Pete
The only advice I can give as I don;t have mine yet is post on the TD2 forum... there are lots of TomTom threads there
TT7 7.45 cab works, TT6 works too - what are you doing as I had it running fine.
Hi
I had purchased v6 originally and it wasn't recognised by my PDA. I bought v7 and it told e that it was incompatible with the device as well as screwing up TT home. From that and searching in here I found a cab file for a version called 7.95 which works but only recognises maps of Spain and Pertugal which I had purchased through TT home prior to the upgrade.
It wont recognise either v7 or v6 maps of UK no matter what I try (no code works) I am told this is because TT7 is free but the maps cost and self install/authorise without the user needing to enter an authorisation code.
TT support told me that their support doesn't cover TD2 as they haven't tested it yet...therefore I'm stuck...
I know i'm going to get blasted about no warez slogans but if TomTom aren't going to support it for some time then i guess they don't deserve your money right now, warez it and then when it gets supported, you might want to consider buying it.
It's better than not having a gps on hand.
tom tom more maps
I installed tom tom and it works. i installed 1 map (western europa).. tehn i want to install another (center en eastern europa) but this did not work.. Can i install 2 maps on 1 device? or is this not possible?
Hello,
I was searching and searching for days to find a working version of Tomtom 7 for my Vox.
Finally, I found one
Here are the instructions:
Based on HTC VOX...
Just drop the navigator folder and the maps you want
onto your phone/pda's memorycard.
Download Fakecursor: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FX5VQO87 and put the long poc file in the /windows/ folder!
Then just start the app on your phone and and have a long keypress of the voicecall button to run Fakecursor.
Hopefully it will work fine
Remember, this is only the application!
You can buy maps in the Tomtom store
Application: http://hotfile.com/dl/5914421/54f154c/tomtomwmapp.rar.html
Have fun!
I just don't want to enter into legal stuff (I mean that also the software itself is intellectual property of TOMTOM so....)
BTW I'm here just to advise you that time ago a version that doesn't need a fake cursor was leaked and released... something like v 7.915 (9195) i don't remeber the exact one...
Regards
I tought that downloading the software itself without maps is not illegal.
V7,915 didn't work for me..
what gps you use for vox
You can use each bluetooth gps.
I use an Iblue 737 with MTK chipset, always a fix within 10 seconds
