TomTom5 - no maps found!

Hi there
I have just installed TT5 on my XDA2 ( WM2003). The package came with 2 maps for Spain. I should probably mention that we are talking about a cracked version of TT5. 8) The installation was ok but once I start the program and I go through all the settings ( language bla bla bla…) I get a message saying “maps not found”. I know that the maps are there, on the memory card. Is there anything I’m missing? Is there any folder where I should place the maps? Or anything in the registry that should be changed?? I would appreciate your help as I intend to travel to Spain in the next 4 days.
Thanks

How did you install it ?
Which version was it ?
As far as i am aware ... ou need to install the map that came with it at the same time, them it will reconise the extra maps.

Gee..i’m so smart. 8) After a night of fiddling with TomTom I found the problem. Once installed TomTom will create a folder called TomTom ( dooh ) in My Documents. Inside that folder you will find a file called CurrentMap.dat. Copy the file on your PC and open it with a notepad. In my case the maps were located on the Storage Card. All you have to do insert the path where your maps are located. I.E : \Storage Card\Iberia-Map\
And voila…is working. Just got a Fortuna Slim GPS and everything works absolutely fine.

TOMTOM 5 - No Maps found

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.

newbie tomtom help

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

HD2-----Footprint and TOMTOM

HD2-- footprint is set to use CoPilot as default navigator.it won`t start up googles either. Does anyone know how set this to GoogleMaps or TomTom and how to switch between these two.
TomTom works great on my HD2.
Thanks

+1 on this, i use tom tom so this would be great

push for this cool tricky idea

I definitely want this option! I dont use copilot at all. I would rather have iGO or google maps.

I HATE CoPilot Demo... To disable CoPilot from Footprint and Navipanel do this registry edit:
Locate
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\NaviSW
"SDKModule"="\windows\alksdk.dll"
And make "SDKModule" Value empty.
Soft reset phone.
Footprint converts to Google maps.
Navipanel will not work for gps navigation. Haven't found a good way to do that yet. But I'm trying and searching for solution

I found a simple sollution (just 2 minutes ago)
1. On your phone...got to folder where CoPilot is located
2. Rename CoPilot folder to CoPilot_ (or some other name not equal to CoPilot)
3. On your pc go to the folder (Tomtom) Navigator and copy the folder to the root folder where now CoPilot_ is located
4. On your phone rename Navigator folder to CoPilot
5. On your phone in the now created folder CoPilot, rename TomTomavigator.exe to CoPilot.exe
You should now have these folder:
CoPilot_ (or other name)
CoPilot
And possibly Novigator
restart en test...
Hope this will work out for you guys too
cheers Roy

Your maps need to be in the root of your storage card (not in any subfolders!)
Grtz,
Degake

On SD card create directory for each map e.g. UK, Western Europe etc...
If it doesnt work you use incompatible TT and map version (some TT7 doesnt work with any map 8.35 etc)

That is not exactly true...your maps can be placed in "My Documents" folder on your storage card as well... it will read them with no problem at all.

cheers for the help guys, kind of working, but i need some help with getting the last bit sorted if you know what i mean, cant get any act codes to work, so if anyone could help would be appreciated. cheers

I know, I know...
I meant it's best if you just made the map directories directly into root of your storage card this way you'll have the best possible way of organising all of the files - I think -.
