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.

Tomtom plugin for rightclick navigate to contact

I hope the ting i want exciste.
I want to navigate to a contact by clicking rightbutton and selecting navigate to(or somting like it).
does somebody know if this excist??
The Rom i use is the TNT 4.0 Professional.
The Tomtom is use is 6.020.

Does nobody know this??

It was there on TT5 and it's there on TT6. For some reason it does not install every time, but for example last time it was installed ok for me. There's own CAB for it that is run during the installation. If your ROM uses other than default Contacts software you can't of course use it.

Mapping Fuze IM button to Windows live messenger

Since I have dumped the ATT rom and use MSN messenger the IM button is nowrendered useless. Anyone know how to map it to Messenger? THanks!

Anyone have a solution?

Fuze Keyboard re-mapping
Someone smart know? change keyboard layout on fuze to do this:
Function + IM button to run MSN messenger

I've never used this- so I'm not positive. But I think this is exactly what AEButton Plus can do.
I think you can assign any button to any program, so that might work for you.
Good luck!

This program will work perfect... Heres the problem now... I flashed to Romeos' new rom and that button is mapped to Contacts. So when I hit it now it opens contacts over msn messnger. how can I keep Contacts from opening. Isnt there just a way to get into the Registry and change the app that is asigned to the specific Key?

I am searching for the simplest solution to this. All I want to do is have the FN options for music open up my media player, have the globe button open up OPERA instead of PIE, the CV button to open up cellular video, etc. How do I edit the functions of these keys specifically in the registry? I don't want to use other software, just want to edit these keys and that is all. Could someone please advise.

There has to be a solution to this because one of the custom roms lets you re-link these keys using .lnk files. I think it is the DA_G rom.

agreed, I have searched the forums, but can't find anything that pertains to the FN capabilities of certain keys that I am knowledgable enough to understand... I have searched the registry and through the windows folder looking for something that could be edited... to no avail. I try.

this may help: http://www.ppcmobility.com/forums/showthread.php?t=119&highlight=keyboard

This is not really gonna help me sadly. It may work, but would add an extra step, which is what I am trying to minimize. Almost miss the cluster of buttons on the tytn II, never thought I would say that...

keypad.dll driver in HTC Fuze Stock AT&T ROM executes 2 functions on each keypress - one is to pass the raw key code to the OS, other is to look for a shortcut in a specific location, and execute it if found. It is through this method that PTT can be re-bound, for example, through \Windows\Short_PTT.lnk and \Windows\Long_PTT.lnk
Stock driver executes the following shortcut when IM key is pressed:
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Instant Messaging.lnk
So to bind that key to Messenger, you simply need to create or copy a shortcut for Messenger, put it in the start menu, and name it "Instant Messaging"
In my cooked ROM i have modded the keypad.dll driver so that the start menu does not need to be cluttered in such a way, driver looks in \Windows\ dir instead.
Hope this info helps!

Thank worked like a charm.
Thanks for the info.

hmm. tried the .ink shortcut, tried aebutton, guess it's a no go for now on ROMeOS

Make sure it's not an .ink but .lnk (letter L).

also monx may have changed the driver in a similar way, maybe ask him if that's the case. Could be looking for the shortcut somewhere else.

I am looking in the windows directory now and was able to find the short_PTT.lnk and the long_PTT.lnk and was able to get them to work for the PTT button. Awesome, that is cool. I am looking for the right .lnk file to adjust to make the FN key do what I want to do, but I ran into a bit of a dilema now (by the way Da_G, PP on the way), the FN music button is not currently assigned to anything as well as a few others (from what I can tell) since when I press them, nothing happens. How would I locate the proper files to edit and create a new .lnk file for these buttons?

Had to bust out the good ol' hex editor to refresh myself on this since it's been a while since I modded the keypad.dll, but here are the stock shortcuts it looks for:
\Windows\Start Menu\Calendar.lnk
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Instant Messaging.lnk
\Windows\AppButtons\Contacts.lnk
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MEdia Net Home.lnk
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Cellular Video.lnk
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\AT&T Music <--- note this one will open up the folder, not execute a .lnk
\Windows\Short_PTT.lnk \Windows\Long_PTT.lnk
\Windows\Short_Powerlnk \Windows\Long_Power.lnk
\Windows\Short_Explore.lnk
\Windows\Short_OperaL.lnk
\Windows\Short_Messaging.lnk
\Windows\Short_SMS.lnk
There's also \Windows\Long_Send.lnk, but that's reconfigurable through the button settings app, so probably don't need that one.
Hope this helps! The keypad.dll in my ROM remaps all the .lnk's that aren't in \Windows to be in \Windows, to avoid the need to stick stuff in the start menu where you might not want it.

I am going to try this out, just put on the InvisiShield, so I am waiting for that to cure before I turn the Fuze back on.

Do a search. Someone posted a simple way to program the long and short press of the PTT button. No reg edits, no program to install. You can map the buttons to any programs.
I used it on my pro. Just do an XDA a search for mapping PTT button. You'll find it.

Here's a tip to those who don't want to flash ROMs and want to remap those buttons. Make a duplicate of the thing you want a shortcut to, name it the right thing and put it in the right place, and then set it as hidden. Now when you browse in the start menu you do not see it, but the button will open the right thing.

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

Pandora Radio for HD2

Getting pandora Radio to work on HD2 ( for WVGA devices )
-If you intall the new pandora radio cab for VGA devices from the pandora website you would need to pay for the service
-If you Install the old pandora cab the buttos are all over the place and their too small
This guide is for fixing all of that and gettig it to work properly on your HD2
(UPDATE)
You can just Download the .cab file from Here
Then go to >start>settings>Personal>Buttons> and assign the Send Key(Hold) Under> 2. Assign a program: and select Input Panel.
Assigning that key is for enabling the keyboar as the keyboard is not going to pop up automatically after assigning the key just press and hold the send/green phone button and the keyboard should pop up so you can type in your login info.
OR TRY THIS
1. Download VGA Pandora Files.zip from Here
2. Unzip it and copy the 4 files to your SD card
3. Open file explorer and Install the pandora cab, advance config tool cab, you will need Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5 to install avanced config tool so if you dont have it already in your phone install the NETCFv35.wm.armv4i cab
4. Open pandora radio from the start menu and enter your credentials or create a new acc (dont skip this step becuase if you leave it for last you wont have a keyboard to enter your credentials so you MUST DO IT NOW) once you are logged in you will nottice that the buttons are all over the place dont worry about that and close the pandora app
5. Open Advce configuration tool from the start menu and navigate to Network>TCP Window and change the value to 98304
6. Save your changes, and soft-reset.
7. Go in to file explorer and replace the orginal pandora.exe (in \Program Files\Pandora\Pandora.exe) with the pandora.exe from VGA Pandora Files.zip (the last of the 4 files I asked you to move to your SD)
8. ENJOY

Seems to be a problem for UK users to access the service - copyright issues. So I assume this is for US only... unless anyone knows differently.

thnx everything worked except that u can't create new stations because there is no keyboard. is that how its supposed to be? I mean ill settle fir this tho its better than nothing at all. thnx anyways tho. still great.

...or you can get the WVGA version for the TP2. Am I missing something here?
http://fluffyphones.com/fluffy-apps/pandora-htc-touch-pro-2-rhodium-wvga-windows-mobile-download/
That's what I have and it works excellent on the HD2 -- buttons and everything. The only problem that I encounter is that I can't seem to receive incoming calls when Pandora is playing.

Go into settings. Menu -> All Settings -> Personal -> Buttons.
Change "Send Key (Hold)" to "<Input Panel>". (you prob have to change the other "Button"s to different assignments. I changed them to random things and haven't encountered any problems yet) Exit out.
Now when pandora needs you to type, just long press the Send key and the keyboard should popup.

I installed the CAB but I can't seem to get into "settings" as described above. Is "Menu" located somewhere while Pandora is running?

Works but is u-ugly
Great setup, works wonderfully. Is there a way to make this appear more formatted to the HD2 screen? Everything is bunched at the bottom for controls and the images are to right overlapping in the middle.
Thanks all!

I don't believe you can. I wasn't meant to be used on the HD2 large screen.

Still trying to get keyboard
When i attempt to change the voice command to text input it doesn't stay. When i leave the page it goes back to voice command. Is there something I'm supposed to do? I tried double clicking but that didn't do anything. It just won't stay on text input. Can anyone help me?

Start/Settings/Personal/Buttons
Make sure the Button (Send key/Hold) is highlighted. Then scroll up to <Input Panel>. You should see the assignment change then hit OK.
If the Button is not highlighted it will not make the change.

I got this to work. First, I installed Resco Explorer (Free 7 day trial): at
(I tried posting links to each cab, but as a new user, I can't post links...sorry.)
Next, I installed Zoomer (German site, but the App is in English):
(Link Removed)
(Original Zoomer XDA post:
(Link Removed)
and I installed the Pandora TP2 app found here:
(Link removed)
After these three apps were installed, I opened Resco Explorer, and found the Pandora app that had been previously installed. When I opened Pandora from within Resco, the on-screen key to bring up the keyboard was present. I simply was able to click on each field in Pandora, and hit the soft key to being up the keyboard. Once I entered my login information, Pandora simply started to work. I then ended all programs, opened up Zoomer, picked Pandora from Zoomer's list, and did a soft reset. Now when I open Pandora from the WinMo honeycomb, I can pinch and zoom (and reposition the zoomed portion of the screen) to make things easier to work with.
I followed this procedure on both my and my wife's new TMoUS HD2s and the the Pandora works fine on both.
Good luck.
(P.S. I like the Resco functionality, so I'll be buying the program after the trial ends)

Sign up online first on say your desktop or laptop and then all you have to do is log in on phone and all your stations will be there.

This worked perfectly for me. From my HD2's HOME SCREEN (not in Pandora) I navigated to Settings, Menu, All Settings, Personal, Buttons to change Send (long press) to (Input Panel)
Thanks!

what worked for me
i just had the same problem. i just pressed the home key went to the task manager then selected pandora and when i went back the keyboard was there again. repeat process for all of the fields and there you go free misic. thanks for the great work guys.

The first post mentions "the new pandora radio cab for VGA devices from the pandora website".
I might be willing to pay $3 for a more *official* way of making Pandora work on my HD2. My question is: Where on the Pandora site is this $3 cab file? I can't find it.

fucntions perfectly, first time install without incident.
thanks for the work!
