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.
HTH
Fin

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....

Tomtom on WM 6

Has anyone installed tomtom 6 on tornado with wm6 installed?
I can not get het it to work, tried the "TomTom 6.020 for Windows Mobile Smartphone"
Furthermore i need the T9 cab for swedish also if anyone can provide a link.
Thanx

tomtom 6 run on my tornado , it only need to set on "never" display time out becouse tomtom dont do it ...

Tomtom 6.000 and 6.010 are running fine without going back to the homescreen. Version 6.020 and 6.030 also work fine, but they return to the homescreen after a while. Even with the display time-out on "never".
You also may have some problems installing 6.010 because it will tell you it is not intended for this device. So, install 6.000 and copy the exe file and the data.chk file from 6.010. works for me.
I also have Tomtom mobile 5.2 running because it runs better with the keyboard.

I've the 5.20 version too, but I prefear the 6.xx one becouse it read the newer maps as you know.

The latest Tomtom 6.201 run perfect on my Tornado w/ phil's Alpha ROM, no backlight bug, no turn on delay, but it dosent work w/ the Beta and any other Andot's ROMs, the apparent problem is cant be found any maps, thats unbelievable!

With tt5 you must put "GPS" in the name of the gps receiver when you pair it. For tt6 this is not necessary. For both tt5 and tt6 you most define a com port. (probably com6). In tt6 you must select this com port. This is tricky because you need a program to control the mouse. The most easy way is to use "Pocket Controller-Pro" to control your smartphone from your pc.
have fun

true. you should type as many characters until the city you want is at the top of your list. then press the joystick-button.

I dont get com 6 as an option. see screen dump.

you have to create the outgoing COM vhen you pairing the GPS with yor tornado, then you can found the new COM in the tomtom list

Hi there ! I try to install the ttn.cab - it says installing but nothing happens.
I read nearly all posts but TT6 and WM6 - what can be the problem ?
I tried the ttn.cab 6.01 and 6.03 but nothing can be installed on the sdcard.
What else can I do ?

TOMTOM home now works with Touch Pro

Hi,
Just thought i'd share the news that tomtom home now works and syncs with the touch pro, so start buying your maps!!!!
Download the latest version from Tomtom

thanks for the tip!
but I can't seem to get any mapshare updates....
will play with my settings to see if that might do the trick

I also have problems to get MapShare updates. It tells me that my maps are up to date. I don't believe this. ;-)

i get the same also, and all the tweeks suggested in the kaiser forum dont work.

now it works!
i've updated my version of Tomton to 7.451, and now tomtom Home automaticly updates my map.

Sounds to me like you haven't enabled map sharing in TomTom on your phone. I had the same until I did that, and now it works fine.

i've upgraded to the latest version, and have enabled map share in both tomtom home and on the device. I still can not get map share to update.

I'm not sure then. The only difference between what I said and just enabling map corrections was that I reported one (I have been living in my current house for >4 years and TomTom still don't have it as a valid address. I have reported it several times through MapShare and it still doesn't appear as valid).

Ok, i will give that a try - my estate sill has roads that don't exist and although they have been reported many times, have still not been corrected. The 7.25 maps still don't seem that upto date for my area!
Have you / are you using tomtom traffic. I enabled the month trial, and it appears to update ok, but i never see any traffic information on the traffic map. The update symbol changes to green after an update, therefore indicating that it has downloaded data. On the liscence screen, it reports that traffic is enabled upto 22/10/08.

Thx it works fine. I had 65000 changes for my 6.8 Europacard.

You need to make sure that tomtom app is installed within programs. Depending on what cab you have used, it may have installed the application under a strange (german i think) folder name.

the only thing thats different is that the 7.451 allows you to use Mapshare with Tomtom Home.
I don't have a clu what else could be different (did not find any other changes so far)

I basicly tried every setting in Tomtom and in Tomtom Home, and suddenly it all worked.
perhaps a stupid question, but did you allready try to mess with the settings in TTH/extra/mapshare prefferences..... and what does it say in the bottom right corner: After this update ...Mb??
just press OK and let the update run
hope it helps!

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
really tom tom sucks for not make tom tom 6 work on td2
thanks for your answer you really help me out

tomtom 6 with tt6 maps works fine on TD2, I had 6.75 working with all maps of europe.

Why work with tomtom6 when you can get tomtom7.9 with the latest 830 maps..??

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

Tomtom doesn't give any Resolution errors, so it should work for any resolution, but the Tomtom Version Tomtom 7.910
Tomtom 7.910 needs v 8.XXX maps, but you should be careful some map versions are only for PNAs ... You you should download the maps compatible with PDA or PDA&PNA
Tomtom is the best for Europe, but I do not like its simplicity, I like iGO 8.3.X Maps are updated monthly
Tomtom can not identify your device's com ports as well, for example, it may find your internal gps as a bluetooth gps, or viceversa.. So you should search for any kind of gps device in settings of tomtom in case if it does not recognize automatically

QVGA TT doesnt work on VGA or WVGA.
Maps are update continualy via map share.
TT identify COM ports without problems on all HTC devices or zou can set port manually.

On the videos looks like tomtom have a lag of 20 30 meters, and trying myself igo and copilot doesnt have lag at all, so, why use tomtom?

Guys here you'll find all latest TT. For sure on HD2 you should use VGA version:

I shared QVGA version of 7.910 on one web site, but before sharing I tried it on Htc HD, Htc Diamond, Htc Diamond 2, Htc TyTN II. So these resolutions are, QVGA, VGA, WVGA.
TT sometimes identify your Internal GPS as a bluetooth GPS, I say this information if some can not find their internal GPS, aim is to help to solve issues not to say bad things about TT.
If you have licensed version you may find correct maps, but ones that do not have should be careful to download maps that are compatible with PDA.
Regards.

Anyone has the same problem?
I've tried TT 7.910, 7.915 and 7.916, but all have a refresh lag.. So normally the screen (your position) is updated every second, but at my HD2 it updates in 5 or 7 seconds!
I've tried the internal GPS as wel the COM4 and 9600 baud GPS...
Google Maps works perfect (as far as I can see).
Don't know what to do about it.
Anyone?

Xmoo, The TomTom application works indeed but as soon as it starts it says it can't find any maps and then tries to make an internet connection in order to download maps at www.htc-citymaps but it then results in an error as the webpage doesn't exist.
How do you get TomTom to work with the maps and speech ?
Note: the installation CAB was 9 MB's hardly enough to conatin a full working navigation tool so it's clear that i'm missing data.

TT Maps n voices
black vga cab is 13.3MB - no voices, no maps no htc-citymaps - no joy....
Any help...anyone?
