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...?

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.

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.
hi all i have a xda o2 orbit and have installed TT6, but cannot seem to get the voices to work. i have all the voices in a folder on my sd card. i have tried to move the folder to various places associated with tt,with no joy! they are all in the correct order image, chk, vif. does any one know what may be wrong. may i also add that i am a computer mong in fact i am a technology mong all togetherconfused: , so it may be something very simple.
thank you, any advise is much appreciated
Hi,
at the first start of tomtom, could you select a voice? If yes, then maybe you just turned down the volume of your orbit. It already happened to me and i wondered why couldn't hear anything.
The voices should be in the root of the sd-card in the folder 'voices'. The files are named 'data' followed ba a two-digit number, depending on the voice.

Hi:
Try to make "My Documents" folder in the root of your Storage Card and place all your maps there. It should work...

Hello,
This has got me pulling my hair out of my already balding head !.
I have TomTom Nav 6 on an old Pocket PC (HP 2210), and the full 7-digit postcode search works perfectly on it.
I loaded the very same software onto my Himalaya and i cannot for the life of me get the full 7-digit postcode search !. It defaults to 3/4 figure postcode (e.g. DH8).
I have searched through various forums and have even installed a fullpostcode.cab (for the UK) file and it still doesn't work !!.
I also put an empty "Tomtom" folder in the navigator folder (as suggested on various forums), this again didn't work !
I know if i install TomTom Nav 6 on the Himalaya's main memory then this would probably solve the problem, but i cannot as i don't have enough room on the Himalaya (i have tried deleting other progs, but it doesn't free up enough space !). I threrfore have to install it on the 1GB SD card (but this is EXACTLY the same setup as on my HP Ipaq 2210, and it works great on there !!!)
The 7-digit postcode feature DID work for a while a few nights back, but then stopped working the day after! (so i know it IS possible for it to work properly on there!).
Can anyone please suggest what i could do because the 7-digit postcode lookup feature is much more useful since i prefer searching using the full postcode facility.
Best Regards,
Andrew
what version of tomtom 6 is it, you are running. Have you tried the latest version http://rapidshare.com/files/91182629/ttn_6_032_8351.cab
try that and see if it fixes your problem
Cheers for the quick reply, it's version 6.000. Thing is i have the very same version of Tomtom on my Ipaq2210, installed on a SD card etc, and it works perfectly on there, so cannot figure out why it's not working on the Himalaya. Also the fact that the full postcode search worked fine the other night, then just stopped working makes me wonder !
Regards,
Andrew
do you have the zip folder on the card the postcode data is in that folder ?
yeah, the zip is in the SD folder where all the other files are, as is the "Tomtom" empty folder (which was suggested by some people). The same structure as what's on the Ipaq2210 (whick works fine !!)
Regards
Andrew
try the new version i posted and see if that works, i have the full postcode working fine on the sd card
Hello, the version you uploaded won't work for me. It produces the error "Unable to start, an exception occurred: memory Access Violation" after running it upon installation !
Best Regards
Andrew
well i would assume that ,that is the problem, memory restrictions, as you dont have enough ram available and that is why it is only allowing you 5 postcodes instead of 7. As i have said i have it working fine on an xda 2. Using that cab i posted
i can remember people having this postcode file on their SD card and working fine tho !, just don't know why it doesn't work with mine, or why it worked one night on it then from then on it hasn't !!
Cheers,
Andy
Don't know if you have sorted this out but - The zip file normaly has to be placed in the same folder as the program file, but it will work if it is left on the SD card with a shortcut back to the program folder. This gives you a bit more room in the PDA memory.
I forgot to mention that the tomtom cab i posted is only for WM5
For Clarity on this one...
I had exactly same problem on Kaiser, postcode and voices worked one minute, then not the next.
To get it working I moved the voices folder to the PDA itself (Navigator Folder) not a size issue for me as i only moved 'Jane' data05.vif and chk
I then deleted the configuration file (collected.ini) in the voices folder, this means you then have to reselect voice in preferences.
Also moved the 'zip' folder to Navigator folder on the Kaiser.
All ok now.. HTH

Hello All,
I have recently got TomTom Navigator and I have the North American map loaded up nicely, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the voices loaded.
I downloaded the Ozzy Swearing voice, and got the 3 necessary files I need, but I put them in every damn folder that has to do with TomTom and still no available voices show up in the application?
First, I created a folder called "Voices" on the root of the storage card, as I was instructed to do, but that didn't work.
Second, I went to Storage Card-->Program Files-->Navigator-->Sounds, and put the 3 files there. Still nothing.
Third, I found "TomTom" folder at My Device-->TomTom. I didn't create this folder, so i assume the app created it on the install. Anyways I put the 3 files there and again nothing.
Fourth, I went to My Device-->My Documents and created "TomTom" folder and dumped the 3 files in that folder. One forum said this might work, and it didn't unfortunately.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is the current version and map pack I am using on my HTC HD2.
TomTom Navigator v7.910.9185
TomTom Maps of North America v8.45.2647
you have to put a \navigator\voices into the dir.
you download for ex voices from here laurusbuth.nl/tomtom up you go
ps: after hours of looking and searching and trying, i've managed to get these to work
google for : TTN7.916.9192_VGA_Black (cab) and Western_and_Central_Europe_2GB_840_2563

Hey the original didn't have a voice folder by default. The voice folder is created after adding your first voice. Just thought you should know.
Buy the original software from tomtom website and you'll see the difference ...You said :"The voice folder is created after adding your first voice" . So where is the problem in fact because you said "First, I created a folder called "Voices" on the root of the storage card, as I was instructed to do, but that didn't work." So folder is created after install in the right place,not necessary to create it manually ...
maps
Hi,
thank you for the tips!
Now I still can't figure out how to load the maps.
I have a file called "France" that I tried to place everywhere, but I can't find a place where it works (tomtom tells me that I don't have any map).
Should I create a new folder like for the voices?
I tried to create a "CurrentMap.dat" (real dat, no txt) file set to "& \Carte Stockage\France\" that I put in "HTC HD_mini_T5555\Carte Stockage\My Documents\TomTom", but not result.
Any idea why it still says that I have no map?
Thank you.
It has to be activated first. You can do that on the TomTom site
Hi,
a problem is that I can't use "active sync" on my computer, nor any program that require windows update to get installed, because windows update is not working (don't know why, it's a real version). Anyway... no active sync for me.
That's why I can't load the first free map too.
