TomTom - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I'm running TomTom 6 on my windows mobile 6.1 HTC Touch Pro.
The TomTom voice file keeps being "lost" or changed to something unreadable. I ran this same software on my previous HTC TyTN11 (WM 5)without any probs.
Anyone got any ideas what's happening????
Cheers
D.

well you managed to run winmo 5 on a tytn 2 so u know more than me

Think I found the problem elsewhere.
Seems the TomTom voice files differ for WM6.1.
I eventually ended up registering with TomTom Home and downloaded the FREE voice files associated with WM6.1 and hey presto, all's good......
Cheers
Dave.

XDA Exec and Tom Tom 5

Can anyone tell me how to install tom tom 5 to the xda exec? I copy the files direct to my sd card and it's supposed to auto install after re-installing the sd into the exec.The start up screen comes up and goes off - nothing else.Needless to say I've installed the same onto my xda II without any problems - any help appreciated.
WM5 + tomtom
Hi,
Tomtom is not compatible with WM2005, according to the tomtom site. they dont have any news on when it will be.
cheers
Paul
Thanx for the quick reply Paul, it saves me pulling any more of my hair out.Seems as always I should have waited until they ironed all the problems out.
Cheers mate!!
Search the forum, you can use TomTOm 5.1 with the XDA Exec apparently if you install the CABs to the Storage card. It has to be the update 5.1, V5 won't work at all.

Although they offer no support it does work but the standard installer will not work. The maps are really nice on the higher res screen.
You have to copy the CAB files to your SD card and run them manually. EG double click them.
You will need TomTom 5.1
The files you need are
ttn.cab
gps.cab
wzd.cab
PIMAddin.cab
I run them in that order. Then i use Checkpoint version 5 for the POI warnings like speedcameras etc.
My TomTom BT Receiver is found automatically but a friend has a third party BT Receivers and we had to mess about a lot to get it to work. There are instructions in another thread on here for that if you need it.
Again thanx to everyone for the info, in reading that I managed to get it up and running - what a vast improvement to the last version and with superior graphics.
Cheers for the help!!!
Tom Tom 5 with XDA Exec + Pharos igps
Dingo, you're right about 3rd party gps receivers. Can't seem to find any gps signal at all, when pairing the two it comes up with a question mark and the name of the receiver ( no question mark on the xda2).Is there drivers to download and if so where do you download them to or can you re-direct me to the site/post you're talking about. Thanx matey....

TT7 And Touch Pro

Hello,
I have i diamond but i want to bought a Touch PRO can you answer at this question :
Touch Pro with Tomtom7 is lag like diamond or not ?
thanks in advance.
@+++
tomtom 7 and diamond
I've got tomtom 7 up and running with no lag at all, but i know that the "wrong" version will be very laggish, så my advice get the diamond version that works!!!
Did you get TT7 working with TOMTOM Home 2.3? I tried, but my Touch Pro is not recognized as device. Without the device being listed, I cannot buy a map and load it to the TP...

Do a search in the kaiser section ... the answer is there somewhere. I know that when i installed TT7 on my Kaiser, i had to rename and move the installation folder. An error would still be reported by TT Home, however this could be ignored, and sync would then happen normally.
I have TT7 working fine and very fast on my Pro and on my Diamond - version 7.450.9028 with the official Diamond Maps purchased, downloaded and installed from tomtom.com - the Diamond Ver 7 maps are specifically designed for the VGA screen but actually take up less memory?
Also - both versions of TomTom home also work well but I preffer ver 2.3 as it was easier to add the extra's such as Map Styles, new voices and a car icons!
Hope that helps?

Bah... My Touch Pro didn't come with TomTom...
The touch pro does not have TT7, however you can get the cab from the kaiser forum. Maps can be purchased from Tom TOm - select the TOuch Diamond under map ugrade.
TT7 works great also on my Touch Pro (as long as no other programs are running, which preferably should be the case). Can't compare to TT7 on the Diamond though since I don't have one, but can only assume that the extra RAM on the Touch Pro could be making the difference here!??

tomtom 7 works okey and responds fine, however, comparing it with a tomtom one and for example passing a river, it seems to lag 50 meter behind, so you get the directions a little later then it should be
So this way you may mis an exit.

How have you managed to get maps downloaded to Touch pro.
I can't get TomTom Home to detect the touch pro, i have tried everything.
I only have the free london city map.
OK, TT7 and Touch Pro is killing me... I tried a number of things and I cannot get it to work with MapShare. The device never shows up in TOMTOM Home. So here are some specific questions:
Which version to install?
a) ttn7.cab (12351909 Bytes)
b) TT_Nav_7.450.9028_repack3-vga-black.cab (12348539 Bytes)
The Navigator folder should be moved to Program Files with following content?
contacts, itn, logging, microbrowser, sounds, voices, CurrentMap.dat, data.chk, navigator.cfg, TomTom Navigator.exe, ttnavigator.bif, UserPatch.dat
Is that correct?
The bif file has the following content:
[TomTom NAVIGATOR]
DeviceName=HTC-RAPHAEL
DeviceVersionHW=Windows CE 5.2
DeviceSerialNumber=<removed>
DeviceUniqueID=<removed>
ApplicationVersion=7450

UserPatchDatVersion=102
CompressedPatchVersion=150
MapServerPatchDatVersion=104

And a link needs to be in the StartMenu/Programs...
But all this did not work. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Make sure the tomtom app is installed under "navigator" and not "Intern guheugen". Create a new directory under root and copy all the files across. Tomtom Home should then recognise your device.
I have TomTom 6 on my Touch Pro and it works stonkingly well, no real difference in performance from my old Navman. I had to turn off "assisted GPS" in Schaps advanced config though cos it kept losing the signal every 5 seconds or so with it enabled.

That's just the point of this thread... I want MapShare to work so that I can purchase maps...
Still working on this one... It looks like the TOMTOM Home application is looking for the ttnavigator.bif on the device and once it finds it, the device is listed? Can someone confirm this? By just copying a ttgo.bif file to the root of a removabale media, this is being recognized by TTH as a device. And the older verion of TTH works with the TP having ttnavigator.bif in Program Files\Navigator. Any suggestions on how to solve this puzzle?
I have exactly the same problem - TOmTOm home does not see any device connected. Strange that i had no issues with this on my kaiser, yet i can't get it to work on the pro.

You have no included voices because you are downloading and installing a TRIAL version. TOMTOM is a commercial package and if you want the full maps (don't ask how to find the full maps here) instead of just the 1 trial map and the voices then you should pay for the full package.
That being said, as indicated the free tomtom voices work fine and only require you to download 3 files to the VOICES folder in root of the storage card and delete the combined.ini file so tomtom will rescan the voices. I personally use the "knight rider" voice.
Free voices are available at: http://www.ozpoi.com/TomTom_Voices.html
@famewolf, thanks quick reply and link..
as you said i have to delete combined.ini, where is this file locate?
can you use more than 1 voice?
thanks so much...
because of my XDA FLAME is keep freeze, i roll back windows mobile 5...i'm now install windows mobile 6 (not 6.1) back on...
with be back soon when fix....

combined.ini is in the voice folder where all the other files go. You should be able to switch between voices at will..not sure how else you plan to "use more than 1 voice".
i'm still can get it work, could not find combined.ini file..i'm now download tomtom 7 repack 3 hope this will fix...
i have create map and voices folders in root directory device memory, map work fined but still have no voice useable ( all voice is in voices folder), i'm not sure because of WM 6 or tomtom itself..
i test it on my friend WM 5 it's work perfect on both voices and map..but WM 6 no voices...
my map version is META-14 ( with no voices built in )
is any more advice?
thanks in advance
Exactly the same thing happened to me. I used WM5 on my Atom with Tomtom 5 and it work perfectly ok with map and voices. Now upgraded to WM6.1 and Tomtom 7, the map works but no voices. Tried put voice folder onto everywhere on my SD card still no luck. Need help guys.

tom tom on td2

have a qeustion wil tomtom 6.030 work on touch diamond 2 because i have dis one all ready
i really hope its gonna work
tnx
hope somebody response
No, you'll need Tomtom 7, which you can get from this forum. Tomtom 7 does not work with your version 6 maps, so you'll have to purchase new maps. Yes it sucks. Also, you cannot move your Tomtom services, such as Traffic, over to your TD2. This is because Tomtom refuse to support the device.
Sorry for the bad news.
Personally, I'm so pissed off with Tomtom that I'm seriously considering using something else like IGo.
tom tom
yes i'am not gonna buy the tom tom 7 i'am really mad too
i have igo 8 also then i'm just gonna put that one on my td2

Sounds like a pirated version?

Hey all! On my phone it is that version that works perfectly! If there are problems with the voices, simply copy the voices folder on your memory card!

I got ttn7.915.9196.vga_black_yarda working here perfectly with with Western-Europe 830.2307. It came in my All-programs list and i added it myself to the "today"-screen with comes with your HTC.
Hello
Where should I put the voices folder?
When I start the tt7 they ask me to add a new card, then I go directly on the website to choose the card I download it but then where should I install it ?
Thank you
Voices goes in the root directory of the SD card. Same as the maps directory.
Latest tt7 bought from tt on 4GB microSD does'nt install nor work

How did you do it, man?
I bought the SD-Card TomTom 7 with Europe_1GB maps (825 built 2159) offered on TomTom's website since some weeks.
Neither install, manual install, TomTom Home nor something else works.
The extracted "TomTom Navigator.exe" and also the Home app 2.6 refused to support my O2 TDII device.
Then I installed 7.910.9185 black VGA, but I was only able to download one city map. My bought Europe maps are recogniced, but rejected when I select it through menu "maps change".
How can I make use of my Product code now? Or is there any chance at all?
Please help, or send me some hints by PM.

You have to make a shortcut to windows\startmenu\programs.
You can copy the file and paste it as a shortcut to the programs folder with explorer. If you don't like the name "Shortcut ..." you can rename the shortcut to whatever you like.
If you now look at your programs than you will see your shortcut. There is also the problem of the clipped voice. You can run any audio program except Media Player with a silent audio file, then the voice clipping is gone.
You can also search for the audio problem fix. Someone has made a cab file to fix al the problems in one installation.

Tomtom 6 'memory access violation' ideas wanted!
Had Tomtom 6 (fully legal) working fine on my Kaiser. On TD2/Topaz, whatever I do (soft,hard reset, load from different sources) I get the same 'Tomtom cannot start: memory access violation' msg. Internet search shows lots of people with same prob, but no answers or workarounds. Seems to me might be screen/display related as TT starts to load but with squashed format before hanging. Reluctant simply to buy TT7 in case a) that exhibits the same prob and TT specifically do not support the TD2/Topaz at the mo and b) some people seem to have got TT6 working fine on TD2.
Any ideas gratefully appreciated- might have to have a look at iGo as previous poster suggested, which is a shame as have used Tomtom since v2.
Thanks,
Tony

Although I haven't tried it myself I believe it is mainly a screen size issue, if you use the "WVGAFIX3_BY_Cotulla" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455974 and change the res TT6 will work.
If you try let us know how you get on.
