Hi just to let you know, TomTom have just released their upgrade from either TomTom Navigator 2 or 3 to Navigator 5. This can be found on their website.
It costs 59 Euros and your getting the whole of europe on cd plus the new software interface.
I've just ordered my copy. Lets hope it doesn't take 5 weeks to arrive :roll:
It can be found here..

link's gone. You sure that wasn't teh upgrade for tomtom Go?
this one works...
http://www.tomtom.com/shop/upgrade.php?action=pda&TT=06fcb14888137955f86f48863bc37a85
I've ordered one but had no email confirmation... is this normal?
JB
You'll receive it shortly.. I ordered it at 11.56 CET; and received the confirmation an hour later.
I hope it works correctly on WM2005; I know it has the same backlight problem as Tomtom 4.4.
Still says "available soon" there is no upgrade path.
same old tom tom crap!
Oh well, been waiting for the much anticipated version 5, just ordered it, up to 5 weeks to wait!! It's on a bunch of CDs again (probably un-labelled and needing a 2nd navigation programme to find your way around them!!!) what happened to the pre loaded SD cards featured in their test copies?
And then there are still issues with back-lighting & probably SD problems too.
Just pour money down a black hole, get refused activation codes because you've had your phone replaced by the insurance, am I the only one who feels that TomTom is treating us like a load of brainless jerks! I've just gone 6 months without my expensive Nav3 and had to rely on 'Good old' Microsoft and their reliable Autoroute 2005!
GGGRRRRR!
Since I have no GPS< I used to use TT3 as a stand-alone route planner. For some reason I am not able to do this in TT5, since it keeps searching for a GPS signal. Does anyone here now how to use TT5 as a route planner without a GPS attached?
Has anyone actually recived either confirmation of their upgrade being shipped or it being despatched by UPS yet?!?!?!
yeah mines been posted, should be here today or tomorrow...
Cheers,
JB
Recieved and up and running (on diamond 1.2 rom). Works really well, loads of improvements over 3. My only complaint is that you can't customise the menus anymore like you could on 3. BTW it comes with full maps for all of western Europe... bargain!!

No Maps Found Error In Tom Tom Navigator 5
:?
Hi guys/gals
I got hold of version 5 program upgrade which included the Benelux maps and loaded it up on my PDA but upon running the tom tom shortcut from my Today Screen I get the following error once I have okayed the legal splash screen at the start of the application
'No Maps Found'
It gives me an option to download maps, why is it not picking up the UK one I already have
My UK map is located on my SD card and I was previously running version v4.40 and this picked up the maps without any problem
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance
tomtom 5 help
Hi All, Ive just up-dated my Mada Compact / XDA Mini / Magician with tomtom 5 navigator.... its very impressive but had a few teething problems so as your always helping me out I thought id post this :
If you have an original tomtom bluetooth GPS reciever and want to up-grade to tomtom 5 but are using tomtom 3, make sure you remove POI (seperate program your speed cam sounds wont work on tomtom 5 you have to select a deafult sound) and remove tomtom 3 completly (I did a hard reset after a load of messing), then bond again with your reciever.... then when you go through the set-up select the tomtom reciever, :lol: then go to the GPS settings in prefernces and make sure you click on the little text that say 'NO GPS device' top left hand corner (its not a button just text), this will prompt you to restart the device... do it and then your GPS reciver should work ok, but if you dont re-start it wont finish the connection. Not sure if im the only one effected by this issue I did a google and nothing came up so if you have problems this should sort them out. I only found out when I was showing the fault to a friend and he clicked the text by accident! apart from that I would definatly recommend tomtom 5 up-grade Maps are much quicker for zoom + and - ... any other questions or help just ask!...
Cheers, James

Your answer Software Guru
By the way software guru, I think that the reason tomtom 5 is not working is because you have the UK maps on from tomtom 4, these are not compatible with tomtom 5...
I have the uk version of tomtom 5... E-mail :roll: me for further details....

I have just got Tom Tom 5 for my M2000 - seems to work ok apart from the fact that the onscreen keyboard function when entering a destination is not there - having to use the slide out keyboard which when driving is a little awkward.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, have they managed to fix it? I have recently upgraded the BT stack to 3.9 which has resulted in some things disappearing - - when I soft reset, the folder called 'My' has disappeared and all the contact info and task have to be synchronized.
I also have a number of TT files in the storage memory - would this affect the operation of the onscreen keyboard?
The files in storage memory are
Tom Tom Today
Tom Tom Bluetooth Support
Tom Tom Navigator
Tom Tom Contacts Navigation
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Rich
hi i have a couple questions :: does tomtom 5 work on a hp pda ??
and some body a idea where i can fund some keys ;-) for the maps

Same Problem with Keyboard
Hi
I have the Same problem with keyboard. The screen keyboard is not there on my XDA2s. Such a problem does not exist with the XDA2.
Also when i upgraded to Windows Mobile 2005, the screen goes black as soon as I open TomTom 5
Any suggesstions with such problems?

TTN 5 keyboard
There's another (long!) thread running on keyboards. Basically it seems that we have to use the build in keyboard until they release some patches. The shift/Fnc key problems do not occur in the GB 7 digit postcode selection so its usable on that.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that fell into TTN's trap! Like me I'm sure you've figured out by now that there is a seperate "Advanced planning" menu that gives you this function and lots more - to be fair it works well with lots of extra options. It's a pity there is not an operating guide that highlights these features - expecially for those used to older versions of the software.

Me too. And no, don't have a fix. Very annoying. On the other hand, doesn't the TTN5 legal message say that you shouldn't drink and drive? No wait, enter a route and drive? :wink:
Dear everybody,
I have a MDA Vario (HTC Wizard) with Windows Mobile 6 and I am using Tomtom 6.010 for a couple of weeks now. I am very pleased with it... accept one little bug. To save energy I put my Wizard, with tomtom 6 active, now and then on standbymodus. For example when I am on the high way and tomtom has no futher instructions for lets say 80 kilometers. At a moment that tomtom wants to say something and I forgot to turn my Wizard on again, it will say nothing anymore. It still has a correct fix on the map, but won't give any (vocal) instructions. I have to close tomtom and again start it. Very annoying. Especially since I have speedcam POI's and tomtom talks instantly. I hope that somebody else knows a solution for this bug. Thanks in advance!

Raphael is not supported by Navigon. For now I used a portsplitter (Franson GPSgate). settings: Input com4, active output: GPSgate direct. Start navigon and use GPS wizzard manuel. After this it works.
By a soft reset you have to do it again. It seems somewhere in november Navigon comes with a update for the Raphael.
thanks a lot!! dude,
anybody heard about when NAVIGON comes with an update for Rafael???
so i dont need the gpsgate!!
Navigon mn7 works for Raphael.
You might also have to make sure aGPS is turned off, sometimes that's makes these GPS apps act up.
I have to say that i have used Navigon 6.5 and 7 without any problems.
I did however have 2 problems small problems after installing:
1. When i tried to start it up that i would only see a white screen, but this was solved by reinstalling.
2. When installing on a ROMeOS custom rom Navigon could not find a gps receiver. This was solved by a patch that ROMeOS made.
Hope it works for you because i personally love navigon
Hi there,
I am having some very annoying problems with my phone and getting it to connect to the internet. I have the Orange branded SPV E650 and have flashed it with the new Windows Mobile 6.5 beta rom. Strangely (as with other roms aswell so Im not saying its a problem with them rom!) I cannot access the internet on it. I have tried going to the Orange website and getting the GPRS connection settings sent and they saved fine and I can see them but IE still wont connect with the following error: "Failed to connect to the internet. Data coverage may be unavailable". So after those settings didn't work I deleted them and tried using the Connection Setup application which retrieved settings based on my Orange network provider and being based in UK. That also inputs settings on to my phone but also IE still fails to connect. By doing it that way it sets up a proxy in connections but unsure if that helps, as whether i keep it and try to connect or delete it I still can't connect! I have signal so thats not the problem and also Orange say everythings ok at their end. Also in comms manager with the Data connections I cannot turn it on, a "G" icon on the signal icon in task bar flashes on and off, toggles between them like its trying to connect but does nothing eventually.
Im really stuck and tried different roms but experience the same!
Any ideas guys? Would love to receive some of the great knowledge found here!
Many thanks!
Craig

when i too faced the same problem, i tried this... u can also try, it might work for you too.
in the internet explorer, goto tools, options select connect to internet, instead of auto!
Hi guys,
I had the same problem with my SPV E650 ( aka HTC VOX ) . The problem is related to the WIFI adapter who keeps its IP number although not in use. You have to release manually the IP , or , better , go to : Start , Settings, Connections , select GPRS but do not click on it ! , ratter go menu ( bottom right ) , Advanced ( the only option ) , and there on Internet connection go to Orange Internet instead of Automatic, and voila ! ( or at least for me it worked fine ! )
Liciniu
P.S. please keep me posted. Thanks ,
Hi all,
I have the exact same problem. The phone, SPV E650 (HTC S710), orange branded, reflashed to WM6.5, tried more versions, but i can't get it to connect to the internet. No one found any solutions?
I have the same problem but even with the wifi, is
Explorer from MSN as I fix that?
Mine is a S710
ok, I found the solution in my case. the operator had to start the internet service for my number. weirdly, I had it activated some time ago...
hi guys, i no longe have a vox, now got a Touch Pro 2 (and loving it!) but the problem was that despite my request for internet with my service provider, they hadn't actually activated it, so all my attempts to solve a 'problem with my phone' were pointless lol. good luck guys!
I've exchanged my Vox to TP2 too. which Rom do you use on it?

I use The Cell Series V6 (eagerly awaiting V7 soon to be released!). It is perfect for me, it is fast and responsive, no problems with any feature like bluetooth/wifi not working and it has far better graphics than any other rom I have tried. If you haven't tried it i would suggest you do!
How about u?
Win Mob 6.5
I suggest an upgrade to winmo 6.5. It’s a great OS and works brilliantly on the Touch 2 Pro. The Honeycomb menu makes browsing so convenient. The windows Market Place is packed with Many applications that will interest you!
Hi,
my vox turns off (completely off, not only display) automatically since yesterday.
Description:
I can switch on my phone, enter SimPIN an can normally use it. As long as i use the vox it stays on.
If i put on the keylock and let the vox untouched for a few minutes, it switches completely off.
The only change i did yesterday was playing around with Navigon Mobile Navigator, FakeCursor and Bluetooth.
I already deinstalled the applications i added yesterday, but same problem.
I also tried a second battery, same problem.
Has anybody an idea or is there like a log on vox, where i can see what causes the shutdown ?
OS: WM 6.5 from Fr. Hottelmann, worked fine for month until yesterday ...
Thanks in advance
Alex
Mh, sounds strange. It usually is a battery problem. Maybe try a hard reset or reflash (maybe also try a different ROM, although I doubt that it is my ROM since this didn't happen to anybody else...yet).
BTW: I have two batteries that don't work correctly, I just ordered a new one.
Hi Fhm, thanks for your reply. A hardreset worked. It seems that Navigon Mobile Navigator 7 combined with the usage of BT Gps causes this problem. Thanks, great forum Alex
