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

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.

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....

Has anyone installed tomtom 6 on tornado with wm6 installed?
I can not get het it to work, tried the "TomTom 6.020 for Windows Mobile Smartphone"
Furthermore i need the T9 cab for swedish also if anyone can provide a link.
Thanx
tomtom 6 run on my tornado , it only need to set on "never" display time out becouse tomtom dont do it ...
Tomtom 6.000 and 6.010 are running fine without going back to the homescreen. Version 6.020 and 6.030 also work fine, but they return to the homescreen after a while. Even with the display time-out on "never".
You also may have some problems installing 6.010 because it will tell you it is not intended for this device. So, install 6.000 and copy the exe file and the data.chk file from 6.010. works for me.
I also have Tomtom mobile 5.2 running because it runs better with the keyboard.

I've the 5.20 version too, but I prefear the 6.xx one becouse it read the newer maps as you know.
The latest Tomtom 6.201 run perfect on my Tornado w/ phil's Alpha ROM, no backlight bug, no turn on delay, but it dosent work w/ the Beta and any other Andot's ROMs, the apparent problem is cant be found any maps, thats unbelievable!

With tt5 you must put "GPS" in the name of the gps receiver when you pair it. For tt6 this is not necessary. For both tt5 and tt6 you most define a com port. (probably com6). In tt6 you must select this com port. This is tricky because you need a program to control the mouse. The most easy way is to use "Pocket Controller-Pro" to control your smartphone from your pc.
have fun

true. you should type as many characters until the city you want is at the top of your list. then press the joystick-button.

you have to create the outgoing COM vhen you pairing the GPS with yor tornado, then you can found the new COM in the tomtom list
Hi there ! I try to install the ttn.cab - it says installing but nothing happens.
I read nearly all posts but TT6 and WM6 - what can be the problem ?
I tried the ttn.cab 6.01 and 6.03 but nothing can be installed on the sdcard.
What else can I do ?

Hi guys,
My Polaris has the original WM6.1 from the HTC site. The problem is, when I install iGo 8, I have no sound in phone calls, I can't hear the calling person, and the other person can't hear me. If I hard reset, reinstall the ROM, it's all good.
Anyone else having similar problems? Maybe some fix? I've searched all over the forum, came up with nothing.
Thanks for help.
I have tested a lot of iGO8 versions, and none has caused sound loss... weird.
I'm seriously considering downgrading to the original 6.0 WM. I wonder if iGo 8 will run on it without the above mentioned problems.
Read this thread first before you make downgrading decision. Pages prior to #13 are not important for that decision:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411883&page=13
Already downgraded, synced, installed iGo 2006 Plus. Results? Everything works like a charm. So far...
Anyway, thanks for the input, also for the link, it was helpful.
Probably I'll get back to to this post after some more trial and error tests.
Hi,
I'm running TomTom 6 on my windows mobile 6.1 HTC Touch Pro.
The TomTom voice file keeps being "lost" or changed to something unreadable. I ran this same software on my previous HTC TyTN11 (WM 5)without any probs.
Anyone got any ideas what's happening????
Cheers
D.
well you managed to run winmo 5 on a tytn 2 so u know more than me
Think I found the problem elsewhere.
Seems the TomTom voice files differ for WM6.1.
I eventually ended up registering with TomTom Home and downloaded the FREE voice files associated with WM6.1 and hey presto, all's good......
Cheers
Dave.
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

tomtom 6 with tt6 maps works fine on TD2, I had 6.75 working with all maps of europe.

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!
http://rghost.ru/310020
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

Although I haven't tried it myself I believe it is mainly a screen size issue, if you use the "WVGAFIX3_BY_Cotulla" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455974 and change the res TT6 will work.
If you try let us know how you get on.
