Your a champ!
Thanks heaps
Regards Paul

The link above is no longer availabel. Can anyone repost a valid link for the AUS maps.
Thanks

ive got them but go for tomtom australia maps,
they are heaps better, Microsoft hasnt updated the australian maps for over 2 years now and the only way to update them is to use microsoft streets.
the tom tom maps are a stack better but you cant use the locate address functions without GPS (that sucks).
ive got both but its a bigish download.
yeah ampda i noticed ur site went down a while back, figured someone mighta closed it? was a cool place had some great stuff on there.

About TomTom

Hi,
I am a recent owner of a Touch Cruise, to replace my too big Athena.
On my X7500 I was using TomTom navigator 6 brought by HTC with a one-town demo map, that's why I bought France map on TomTom site.
So, yesterday I bought my Cruise in one of my phone operator's store, which is SFR in France. And my **#[email protected]* operator removed tomtom software because it has its own gps software (monthly costing about 15$).
I would like to find / download / buy only TomTom software, because I already have the map for it, but I don't find anyway o get it !
Even the TomTom software setup cab of my Athena's programs disc does not want to be installed on my Polaris...
May someone tell me how I could get a copy of TomTom executable only ?? (if possible in french)
Thanks by advance,
Waici.
(sorry for my bad english

I´m sorry, but you can´t buy the TomTom Navigator stand alone version. TomTom only sells it with a map package.
But you can install your for your old PDA activated TomTom version on your new Polaris, if half a year has gone after the activation on your old PDA.
Best reagrds
Lars

Seconded..

Thanks for your response, but as I said my Athena's version of TomTom does not want to be installed on the Polaris, saying that my ROM is in a wrong version : I suppose that the HTC TomTom exe installer is restricted to Athena ROMs

Well, yes and no.
If the operator removed the the software from the TC, the answer is no.
If the operator removed the CD as well, he removed some dedicated HTC software like backup and GRPS monitor which is on the Tomtom CD, the answer is yes

The good answer is Yes : the operator removed the CD containing TomTom software and Spb software... I only have the ActiveSync CD

Did you see my PM ?

I would like to see this PM also

can you send me too the TomTom Application for the Cruise?

it would be nice to get the pm as well cause im currently looking for it, thanks in advance.

TomTom Navigator 5 Series

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!)

NZ maps on an M5000

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.

TomTom - No US Maps on Website?

Hope someone can point me in the right direction. I have TT7 for my HD2 and now need to buy the North American maps. But when I go to the TomTom US site, there's no listing for the map, and in fact they don't even list Windows Mobile software as being available at all - only iPhone, which is pretty obnoxious where I'm concerned.
Am I doing something wrong? Has TomTom abandoned the Windows Mobile platform? What gives?

Bump. Anyone?

Bump. Yeah I've been looking too.

Try ***warez site link removed*** their site is down at the moment, but should be back in a week or so.

I understand the site has been hacked and will take a look at them when they're back, but why would we want to go there rather than buying maps directly from the vendor? Just asking - I don't understand, and it seems you know something.

When you go there, you will see.

Since the site is down due to a hack with no indication of when it'll be back, maybe one of you guys will spare me the suspense and just say what's going on if you know?

Ok, now go and try to select North America and see what happens.

TOMTOM has officially abandoned the US market for TOMTOM Navigator 7 and above, "Due to difficulties with US Cell Service providers"
Except for iPhone because Apple will apparently "work with them", while the other providers won't.
The latest US maps that will work with TT7 on the HD2 are the 825 series. The 845 series appear to be incompatible with WM6.5, which is why TOMTOM won't sell anyone the USA maps for Navigator anymore.

Please quote or link to source of your information because it seems contradictory. TomTom is independent of cell service as it's based on hardware GPS, and iPhone is... a phone, so if there are "difficulties with US Cell Service providers, that would include AT&T, the iPhone partner here in US. Furthermore, the HD2 was recently added on the TomTom site as a supported device, so again your information sounds strange. Color me confused.

i found the maps on the tomtom site or you can download them as a torrent.

Link, to US/CAN maps, please. I don't see them anywhere. I go through the steps of selecting my device, and get to the three boxes where they display the regions, but there is no selection for US/Canada.
I'd rather buy them legally than download them as a torrent.

This from US TomTom support phone-line. The polite young lady on the phone said she went and checked with her supervisor, and with her tech support desk. I am a long time TOMTOM user and was fairly insistent on getting an answer. She was very insistent on 'Can't help you - it will never be available in the US on anything but iPhone.'. Polite, but insistent.
So I regretfully hacked it. It works very well, allowed me to download one city map for free, and I don't expect to get updates for the USA and Canada map I am using. I would have been happy to pay them, I begged them to allow me to pay them...

my bad, i looked and they have maps, but no US . i guess they dont sell them anymore so i guess the torrent is the only option.

i dont know if this helps but i just downloaded the one free map for my city (san diego). of course i didnt try and buy other one and so i dont know if it works.

Any progress on this...?
Thought I'd bump this to see if anything has changed since the last post.
I'm looking to upgrade to Navigator 7 so I can have a version of TT that 'works' on my HD2 (i.e. correct screen format). Plus I want to be able to use the updated maps.
I need to be able to run with both UK/Europe maps and North America maps (for my trips to the US). I am happy to buy these maps from TT. I'm not looking here for free maps!
It seems that TT (for reasons we can only speculate on) still do not support North America maps on Navigator 7.
Has anybody managed to find a solution to this (e.g. Navigator 7 with an older version of NA maps or even a 'fix' to allow Navigator 6 to switch to WVGA mode)?
