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!)

i have tom tom mobile 6 with windows mobile 5 in qtek 2020 but when start the application the display black.
Please help me please
thank you
You need an update file for tomtom.exe. search you will find here some where
Have you tried TomTom 6.1?
I had the same problem with 6.0 and had to use Buzz's modified exe. But when i loaded 6.1 it was ok.
Hopefully it will work for you to.
tom tom 6
thanks but i don't no where is tom tom 6.1 can you send me link?
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,
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

Your TC is delivered with a CD containing Tomtom sofware.

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.
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?
I am going to Eastern Europe, so -as I understand it- I need to 'upgrade' (from TTN6) to TTN7 inorder to be able to purchase the E. Europe maps?
Can someone point me towards a TTN7 cab known to run on Touch Cruise and some clear installation instructions. Especially, advice on what I do with my existing TTN6 and (W. Europe) maps.
Thanks

Hej

Thanks

Me too please, I just got a Orbit 2 and CoPilot is missing the maps I need, so need a simple install of TomTom 7 with Australia &/or Europe maps... greatly apprecotated.
Can someone please please help me how to install any GPS navigation system on my new phone HD2? I really need a voice guidance GPS on this phone. Sorry if this is a repeat request but I'm new to this.
Thanks in advance.
I recommend tomtom navigator 7, search google for ttn7.915.9196
then purchase some legitimate tomtom 7 maps, it works FANTASTICALLY on my HD2
I'm using Mapking and Igo8 but I'm from Asia, so I can't use Tom Tom or some others wehre there aren't maps available.
Igo8 is great and smooth but the maps and search feature isn't as good as Mapking so i switch between the 2 but as much as possible i use Igo8
iGO8 works well too.... although some have issues if they use TTS voices, but the pp it great for navigation.

Hey buddy,
I've just downloaded setup for IGO8 fr my HD2..Didnt put it on my SD Card neither did i install anything because I am looking for Maps for India that I can put in the Maps folder. Can you help me with the link or maybe upload the maps file for India. It'l be a great help. I downloaded the IGO8 cracked version setup from forum.ipmart.com
Waiting for your reply...Thanks in advance
I really like the CoPilot Live8 came with the HD2, but now its expired. Does anyone know how I can get this for free? Any crack version out there? please help. and many thanks in advance.
Navigon
The Navigon Software is IMHO the best Navi for the HD2.
I testet tomtom, Destinator, iGo an CoPilot.
Short the navigon Software is the most exact off them all.
And the Realityview, Poi, Warnings and alle extra Features are great.
An a Price @ 80€ with 2 Jears of free Upgrades is unbeaten.
does anyone know how to install iGo 2008 into the HD2? I installed it but when open its keep saying "Fail to open file: ui_igo08\240_400\loading.bmp exiting application"
does anyone know how to install this thing? please help. THanks.
Take a look on this site

Here I got TomTom and iGo, both works fine

Depending on your location, it can be as low as $30 which is a steal compared to the rest of GPS apps out there (€60+). It's not even worth the effort to pirate it!

IGO8 works a treat for me install both files should automatically start to install
Mod edit:
Do not post warez on this forum.
if you want iGO the easy way, search for PDA version, it also contains a 2577 folder with the installer (autorun.exe), it should autorun, but you can also start it manually from the SDCard.
The next thread gives some info on getting iGO full WVGA resolution.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=586150.
I for example for high resolution have the following iGO8\sys.txt (on device and StorageCard):
Code:
[project]
name="igo8_pda"
[device]
type="ALIAS_TOUCH HD"
[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"
[interface]
maxzoom2d=6000000
show_exit=1
and the following in my iGO8\save\system.ini (on StorageCard):
Code:
[rawdisplay]
class="landscape"
autoconfig="1"
driver="gdi"
highres="0"
I have TT 916 working on my nicely. But, they dont offer some maps for certain parts of the world. So, I also installed GarminXT and have ten maps working with it also. gpsunderground is a very good site to learn more.
