Hi all,
i have a problem with my Route 66.
I have the official/legal Route 66 so no warez or stuff.
When i try to download a map inside in the Route 66 program.
In the application i have to possibilty to download the maps. The only problem is that the maps are somehow stored on the device and not on my SD card.
I have a HTC TP and i don't have enough storage on my internal memory to save the map. I want to save the downloaded maps to my Storage Card.
Who can help.
Thanks for the responses

Hi Anryl thanks for your reply
But the prog is already installed on the sd card and not on main memory
Now that is strange... I've honestly never even heard of such a problem before. I really wish I could help you but I have no idea. My suggestion would have been to install to SD card and see if it saves to the SD card but it seems the app is made for the Diamond as it's trying to save to internal memory.
Strange indeed... Does the program have options in the settings anywhere on where to save files?

No there is no option where to install it. Isn't there any config file or something like that where i can change the string for saving?
Does anyone have a clue? Thanks for the replys.
My problem is already solved.
Thank you very much for the help.

Hello, everyone... How ya doing?
I have an O2 XDA IIs with WM5... I already solved the reset problems, but there is something I want to know... Is there a way to change the TEMP file to the Storage Card? I dont want the Temporary Internet Files on my Storage Card, only the TEMP folder...
There are some games that I cant play on my PPC, because the Storage memory is limited to 60mb and ya always install some software there because ya cant installed in the SD Card so its decreased the storage memory... So when I run the game, I wait a lot and pops out a Low Storage Memory warning, I close the popup and I have to delete all the files that has the temp folders that installed the game...
Hope ya can help me with this~ I only need to change the temp folder to the SD Card... Im sorry if there is a thread bout this but I couldnt find it...
Thanks~ Im looking forward for yar answer...
P.S: Already did it~ Thanks anyways... Even though that I dont have anymore the low memory warnings, I cannot play the games yet... Probably might that is not compatible with wm5...

Definitely. I'ts just a simple registry setting (there's a reg value in the Registry that specifies the temp directory; this can, of course, be relocated to a card). Now I'm over GPRS and can't run extensive searches, but you'll surely find it in my blog, in my WM5 & iPAQ hx4700-related articles.
Even if you said to TomTom 6 to be installed on the Storage Card, it will install itself on the MAIN memory !
Has someone managed to move the 2 biggest files:
- Tomtom navigator.exe (~2MB)
- data.chk (~2MB)
to the storage card to save (4MB here!!) the precious main memory ?
I have found nothing except this but it is for TomTom 5:
http://www.4winmobile.com/q-how-can...934.html?sid=494a2df12b48a1e8fdca8ae0e7bfb752
Yes, I moved the whole Tom Tom directory that is installed to the Main Memory, to the Storage Card and run the Navigator exe from there.
Another thing is if you do a Hard Reset you dont after reinstall it again, it will run directly from the Storage Card, you just have to create a shortcut.
The difficulty with copying everything across to the SD card is that TomTom Home then can't find the installation on the pocket PC. Have you found any way around this?

Yes, what are the consequences of moving the folder to the storage card ?

Well, the only problem is that it is a little slower to startup and get going, but once thats done Ive never noticed any difference.
The only thing is you cannot use the Today plugin (but I never did anyway), I just created a new shortcut in the Start Menu, that does it for me.
I agree with coercri (although I don't find it is any slower to start from my SD card, probably because I stuck in a relatively fast card ). But that still doesn't get around the problem of not being able to update the POIs using TomTom Home (which is much more convenient than copying the individual files to a number of map sub-directories). Maybe the answer is a Registry hack to point the installation directory to the card. I will try it.
I don't use the Home application so this is why it has never bothered me, I donwload the Camera Updates and just copy them to the GBMAP directory.
Thanks for you advice. I moved my TomTom folder in Program Files from main memory to the SD card. It works great !
The speed is the same as on the main memory and the application load is as fast as on the main memory. Maybe this is due to the fact that I took a fast SD card.
I am not using TomTom Home so I don't have this problem. I suggest you use Resco Explorer Registry editing tool and make a search for '\Program Files\Navigator' you should find so occurrences, change them to '\<name of your storage card>\Program Files\Navigator'
Thanks for that. In the end, I simply went back to copying the OV2 files across.
Incidentally, I have now moved TomTom to the Extended ROM and it is faster than running from the SD Card.
I have tmobile wing and when I am trying to install any application in SD card, it by defalut goes in device memory. It's asking where you want to store and I mention SD Card, but still it goes under device/Programe Files.
Any advise?
Just to let you know, you're not alone in this problem. My MDA has been doing the same thing. I asked the same question a couple of weeks ago but never an answer to it so I'm not sure anyone know what would cause them to do this.
I think it depends on the application if it has support to be run from the storage card. To be sure, contact the developer. Some applications normally will install to the Main memory rather than the storage card, despite the option, because it basically can't be run from the card, so by default it will install to the Main memory.

Thanks cktlcmd, that's what I pretty much figured. The only thing's I've installed recently that I wanted to put on the card rather than the phone was yahoo go and google maps. The even weirder thing is that when I tried to move them to the card with pocket mechanic, both of them said that they were already on the card and wouldn't allow me to move them. So, I removed them both, reinstalled them to the phone and then moved them to the card with PM and both of them work just fine from there.

Yes, you are correct to point out too, that even if it installs directly to the Main Memory, then you later manipulate it to be transfered and run from the card, it will work flawlessly. So basically, trial and error does apply and remember which ones you installed to the card to save space.
---
But the Point is, when I specifically mention to instal in Storage Card, why its being installed in Device memory. This was not the problem before. I tried to install pocketcm in sd card but still it installs in device memory. how do we change that.

Ah ok i get what you're saying, first you cannot use the SD card as substitute for RAM, think of this situation, if you even were able to do it, it is so slow to even be of use, and second, SD consumes alot of power, and most of the time you need RAM to use your applications, so in the event of losing battery power you risk losing or corrupting your data.. The solution is quite simple really...just buy a larger card like 2gb or 4gb sd cards(just search on how to make 4gb sd cards work) they're cheap nowadays anyway.

try using software like wincab installer on pc..it wil ask u for installing da software on phone memory or storage card thru active sync...helps alot if u're running low on phone memory!
I think i've read in some forum that there's a software that lets you move applications installed in main memory to sd cards, complete with registry settings and all that.. this could be a solution too, anyone knows what this software might be? I could use it myself..
Is possible use a part of my micro-SD on wm6 as program memory?
In a word, no.
Have a look at an SD card. There are only 8 contacts on it. It behaves as a serial disk drive as far as your phone/PPC is concerned, even though it attached to the "\Storage Card" mount point. The storage can be used by the phone but it is not directly addressable by the 32 bits of the CPU. It can only be paged in and out similar to the swap file on your PC.
Ok...
thanks for the reply
Is there any programm that allows you to use it as swap?
(Do you mean something as the virtual panging that windows do on the hard disk?)
Sorry, I think it's still no.
There is a lot of chatter on this over at
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2005/11/17/494177.aspx
But the prognosis does not look good.
the least you can do is install as many applications as you can on your storage card...
tho not all apps can be installed on it.
remember, that if you used any software to make a part of the SD card become program storage space you will be still experiencing the same need to move page files to the ram before it can be used by the device.. so there's actually no point in doing that.

Yes... in fact i usually try to install apps on the flash memory... but lots need to be situated on the main memory... and the hermes don't has much of it...
Thanks a lot for the reply
(ps... sorry I'm not english and i could have written same/lots of mistakes..)
unfortunately ram isn't expandable on pdas..
again, the best you can do is install as many apps as you can on your storage card.
