Tomtom6 no maps found - General Topics

I have downloaded TomTom v6.01 software and the Britain Map from XDA-Developers FTP server. I have tried it for the whole day but didn't get it work. I think I am not so weak in this technology but it seems I am a newbie here.
I did it the following steps.
1. Extract the TomTom_v6.01_install.zip, I found no .exe files in it, only a ttn6_setup.cab and other directories under directory of TomTom. I think this pack is for the installation on my PPC. So I copied the whole dorectory of TomTom to the PPC, under "My douments".
2. open file explorer, click on ttn6_setup.cab. It begins to install. It seems success is in my hand but,
3. after the installation finished, I extracted another RAR file which named Great_Britain_V650_Map.RAR. It creared another directory of Great_Britain_V650_Map. Entering into it, I found another directory of Great_Britain and some files under it. After reading some threads on the net, I created a directory on the SD card with the name of Great_Britain-map and then copied all the files into it.
4. Run TomTom navigator by click on start->programm->Tomtom, it went through some steps of setting language, voice, right or left hand, etc. Then it says "no maps found".
I have managed to sort this issue out in the whole day but invain. So anybody else can help me?
Thanks!

You can give this a try
- On your PC create a new text file (in notepad) called CurrentMap.txt
- In the text file write \Storage Card\Great_Britain_V650_Map\
- Save the text file
- Rename the txt file to CurrentMap.dat
- Create a folder on the device in the My Documents folder called TomTom
- Copy the new .dat file into the TomTom folder

Thanks for your reply. But still no happy.
I think I didn't do anything wrong. I followed the instruction on the net and did it in a right way. but it's strange.
Anybody else can help? Thanks!

Dear Raven2000 I appreciate your notice & complain about the piracy to the Moderators, you did a good job for that post, but sadly you have neglected someone's need, as TENMAN have asked the FTP address but you have forgotten to help him, didn't you? I think we should help a member specially if we know the answer for their query despite to think of their Juniority or Seniority.
Anyway the FTP address is as follows, I think you might need that as well:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Software/TomTom v6 - Full Version with GB Map/
Please be helpfull

Tenman find the FTP address in my previous post, but according to my advice I have downloaded them and that TomTom is unable to search for the Maps (once installed). Finally I have managed to solve the problem with TomTom6+GB Map+Speed Camera. contact me on email.
GoodLuck
Sidd

There are some FlashDrv problems with TTN6 (or not supported issues).
You can easily overcome this by changing you "My Documents" shell folder
location. Point it at your card.

I didn't help as helping will lead to piracy. Surely having a copy of Great Britian maps on the FTP server is piracy?
Anyway, I am not taking any part in requests involving commercial applications. Besides dealing with piracy is the job of Administrators and Moderators, I don't know why I waste my time

So are you refering it to the ""Administrators and Moderators"", that they are keeping pirated stuff on their ftp?
Sidd

Without getting into the ins and outs of piracy.....
Did anyone find a conclusive way to make sure that TomTom 6.x picks up the maps on the SD Card...?

Yes I have Dibbler, email me on hotmail if you want the solution, its gonna be around 200mb, asap

I will say that we have been recently advised to remove Tom Tom from the FTP and we have complied..

This topic should not only be closed, but also deleted. Mods do your homework.

Guys, I can't believe you can be so bloody stupid.
I post and post about not distributing warez through this forum and the ftp and you guys still do it.
As I've said before this forum is a public resource - if you distribute warez through here, or "cleverly" upload it to the ftp you're not doing any of us favours. The mods have discussed this, but frankly I'm sick of guys abusing this board. We're not children. We all know how to use torrentz. Go and do your warez there. But not here.
I'm borderline on whether we should permit discussion on how to set up your clearly warez'd copies of TomTom or anything else, but frankly, this is going to be my policy as of today:
- I'm going to forward this thread to TomTom.
- I'm going to volunteer ip addresses for everyone on this thread so that they can take the matter up themselves.
And in future, if it happens again, I'm banning anyone who distributes warez. 1 warning, then an immediate ban. And if necessary, I'll start posting ip addresses publically in case any software author wants to take the issue up further.
Please note: I try not to be a hypocrite. I've expressly stated that the forum operates on a knife edge already
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1082343&postcount=5
but you can be significantly more sensible then posting warez, uploading or stating that you've downloaded them. This is your public posting, not mine. You are implicating yourself in the piracy, not me. We're a very open minded board, and what you do in your own time is your business. But do it publically and you risk yourself AND the board.
And if you risk the board, you put at risk something that I admire. Please don't do that. I've said before, if you're such a noob that you can't even find warez without someone showing you, write to me. I'll point you in the right direction. But please don't post or upload warez on this forum/ftp.
V
PS. I can't believe TomTom make it near impossible to find their email address. Lol, they really don't help themselves.
To [email protected]

Top add-on for UK TomTom users

Just installed a superb add-on for TomTom Navigator
http://www.digitools.co.uk/
Allows you to just enter a full UK postcode then just click "Navigate to" and TomTom fires up with the route.
Much much better than the useless tomtom standard address input, and it's free!
Couldn't agree more, this is a great program that I've been using for a couple of months now.
Anyone who's got TT3 should think about this...it's also FREE unless you decide to contribute to the author - something that is always a good idea.
Cheers

Can it be uploaded to the xda-developers ftp?
Been a few posts on here complaining about mis-use of the FTP site lately, can one of the moderators give me the the OK to post this to the FTP site?
I am not a forum admin however I am sure if you uploaded a file that wasnt welcome it would soon be romoved, the file being asked for is in the public domain as free software so I cant see a problem.
I concur with crusin-thru.. upload and it will soon be removed if deemed inappropriate.
ive been using this one - seems pretty accurate ...
http://www.easydevices.co.uk/main.asp?sitepages=Downloads
The one on the EasyDevices site looks like the same one to me, anyway have posted my copy to ftp://xda-developers.com/BlueAngel/
It's zipped so is only about 7mb
I get an error when trying to connect to that ftp.
Try this one instead:

Thanks guys for your help!
Managed to download the files from the ftp - cheers for uploading the file.

Found "maybe' New PPC Free Softwares Site in Cab/Zip formats

Hi all,
i don't know if this has been made known before but anyway here is a link http://www.freecabs.de/ to a site that serves to provide ppc users a place to find free/commercial softwares/games in cab file-ready format and zip. just to mention a few like Pocket Rar, PPC Skype, Mem Release, VLC Media Player (that can stream video), Virtual Earth Mobile, UI tweaker etc. As for version compatibility, as most is not mentioned, i guess it's up to the user to find out.
I've tried to look for the proprietor's name of this website but could not find any so i could not pay any tribute directly as yet but anyway if he/she reads this, "A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU" so if any of you guys do find his/her name please mention it here. he/she did tho' include his/her e-mail "[email protected]". I think he/she deserves our thank you.
Cheers. (P.S as the url suggest softwares are free but i could not confirm this as i don't use much of them only those that i need)
The site is by Holger Schmidt
Danke Holger
Yes, i'm sorry. it's listed just below the title. Thanks.
And thank you again, Holger Schmidt.

New Place to Upload Your Files

Hey guys (and gals)
I made an Upload file manager for us here at XDA-Developers.
For those of you who hate rapidshare or megaupload like I do, I'm donating some of my 3terrabyte bandwidth to you all. No pop-ups or advertising either..
You are able to Upload almost anything that you would like. (Roms, images, cab files...ect)
Maximum of 100MB (if you need more, please send me an email or PM)
Very easy to use and navigate
I will support hot-linking (only from XDA-Developers)
All phones listed
Uploader does NOT have a progress bar during upload, just be patient.
To get started :
Follow this link
http://envmyz.com/xda
Read the rules and conditions
Click on Shares near the top.
Select your phone.
List will be displayed, from here you can upload, sort, view, and display file information.
Clicking on the file will display file infornation on the side bar, you can right click copy download link to paste it into your post if you would like.
I started some files in the Wizard section.
Hope this goes over well.
email is [email protected] if you have any questions. Enoy
*Moderators - If you want to make this a sticky, feel free too. Post it in other forums as well.
I just read your rules and it made me laugh.
Code:
No files with illegal content, for example pornography, child pornography, racist material and/or unauthorized copies of copyrighted material. This statement of categories is not the completed list.
All of the OS version violate this first rule. So, are you saying that you only want programs and such uploaded, no OS's. Thats the reason that XDA had to stop hosting these also.
They are there to cover my ass, feel free to upload anything you want
even pornography( smile ) ?

Maybe because of the unfreezing process you have no inner monologue
As many have learned, there are no CYA procedures that will get you away from M$ lawyers. You are taking on a big thing here. Good luck if you continue to allow this.
maybe you can create some folder for us
like
ROM, OEM PACK, Programs
btw! very cool site!!
indeed, it could prevent confusion - i uploaded small oempack with clear name , though... but it may be not rule for others...
thanks for that place.

upd: erm.. file WF2.6 in wizard section may be ROM, that i made - Wayfarer 2.6 final...i don't know who uploaded it there, i did not...I will UL readme soon, if i may..
very nice interface.....
excellent!!!
thanks
For some reason, adding sub-directories cant be done, only new shares can be added. So untill I can figure out how to do sub-directories.. the folders are staying as they are.

Sahimi 7.5 request

Hi there,
cause of that bemghalli seems to be banned,
could someone please pm me the cab of sashimi 7.5?
Thanks, thanks
c'mon...
you can't tell me nobody here has it.
if noone has the cab, you could send me the folder, too
I had a look for you, but I couldn't find it on the usual 4Shared sites, or on the Google Cache'd page. Sorry, I'm sure someone will have it...
Is there a reason that all of the programms by benghali were removed?
(I'm asking before someone with a big mouth will tell "no warez, no warez"
Here's my copy
attached the zip (includes cab and docs). Hope that helps.
Admin edit: file removed after request by software author.
*sigh* ok, nm, here's the 7.5 cab and the makisu 1.7 update as well.
Admin edit: sashimi file removed after request by software author.
Question for the Mods
Why was bengalih banned and his sashimi software removed?
Is there some sort of backdoor in those programs that we should be aware of and not use?
Please let us know. Thanks.

Anyone using SPB Windows Mobile Shell? Need some tips.
I have it installed in the HD2, works beautifully. But have one issue.
The text in the SMS and eMails have become very small (smaller than usual) . Text size have been set to largest in the settings.
Appreciate any tips on how to increase the text size using this Shell.

The link goes to "Let me Google That for you". There is no warez in that link.
@dunnboy9984,
You can get it from the dev's website. If what you are asking for is a warez version of it, that is against the rules and you are breaking them by requesting it. Consider this a friendly warning.
Helps to click on something before making assumtions as to where a link might go.
This wasn't meant to be blown out of proportion! No offense to anyone :0
this is my concern and only concern:
If not you, someone may had interpreted your actions as it is okay to just drop him a link on xda, but rather directly to a hacked cab from a warez site or download engine.
In fact there was links from google to warez site with a little more searching within your link itself. So getting an admin involved was the best for us both! Even thou we may understand the "requester" only asks to help the [OP] in question by installing it first.
The vague link, may direct him to SPB for a 15 day trial or a warez site for a stolen/ cracked version. Will Badge, please just make a direct link to SPB or Devs site next time a request is made. thanks bud! only assumption is to do the right thing. lets just agree to agree and help our fellow members without crossing the fine lines of policies here on xda :0
I didn't cross any policies of XDA. It's up to the person that clicks on the link as to what they want to do. If they choose to actually go to SPB and pay for the program great. If they choose to be a douche nozzle and go to a warez site and try to download a pirated copy that's up to them.
I was more simply showing the person that asked the question that Google had the answer for him as usual. As always GOOGLE for the win........
