Why does TomTom 4.4 scroll smoothly on a Himalaya or Alpine, but TomTom 5 jerks.
4.4 and 5 are both smooth on an HP 6315, which has a slower CPU.
Any ideas?
I have tried with Socket, Leadtek, and TomTom's own BT GPS mk 2 receiver, and no difference, so it's not a speed issue I don't think.
(Yes, I have tried the 5.10 update, but it doesn't make any difference)
I never used 4.4, but 5 is much smoother than 3. Though I'm sure that doesn't help.
Cheers

hi if you want it to get rid of all the jerks remove all your poi pictures and use the tomtom selection and you will find it goes smooth again
oh if you use the pocket gps safty camera setup those work ok
What I've found works pretty well if you don't wanna use the POI's (which I'm currently trying to use to see if the random crashes have got better on tt5.10) is to turn them off, but to use the warning that you can set up to let you know before you hit chosen POIs. Very useful and I don't think it causes the crashes as they're not showing on the map.

:lol: should it scroll smoothly??!!
Mine updates the screen every second or thereabouts, is that not what it's supposed to do?
[edit]Turned off POI, and it scrolls smoothly now! Much nicer, shame you cant have the POI on as well though, even the tomtom own ones slow the map down
OK so turning off some POI fixes it, but why would the HP with less RAM and a slower CPU scroll smoothly where an Alpine or Himalaya will not?
No changes to settings between the two.
Is the graphics chip on them that much worse?
Were you running it from the same SD card, apparently that makes a difference, I honestly didn't know it was supposed to scroll smoothly, I'm going to have a play later to see if I can work out what makes it go jerky.
i've got my tt5 running off the sd card and it runs fine on my jam/vpa.Also download that patch that's floating around these forums somewhere,i've had no more crashes with the poi since.I found that the poi that made my tt5 crash was the cash dispenser one,it only ever crashed when that was turned on.Also,any body know where i can get the safety camera poi from?cheers
I've got the patch (funnily enough as it was me that posted it :lol: )
You can get the speed camera POIs from www.pocketgps.co.uk
cheers for that patch then,works great!I was one step ahead of you on pocket gps though,i googled and found it,cheers anyway just installed the speed camera software and the voice overs that you can have with them,works well!!!!
Which speed camera software are you using with TT5 that will give you voice prompts ???
It's here http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/tomtom-poi-alerts.php .It replaces the crappy sounds you get with voice promts for speed cameras and speeds etc
Sorry forgot the other bit of the q-the software is on the same site.It's here http://www.easydevices.co.uk/sp/searchbox13/main.asp?sitepages=Downloads .Install that then install the voice promts.Hope this helps
I had a bit of a play around with this last night and found out the following.
If you enable, but don't show the POIs (you still get proximity warnings this way) - scrolling is smooth even with 3rd party POIs
if you enable and show ONLY POIs that come with TTN5 - scrolling is smooth
The second you show ANY 3rd party POI, no matter how small (I used Oxford park and rides as there are only 5 of them) the scrolling is jerky.
Is there a way to move the POIs to the phones internal memory to see if that speeds them up?
You'd have to have tomtom installed on your phones storage and leave the maps on your sd card,although I have the speed camera poi and some other 3rd party poi and mine seems to run smooth.Seems very strange all this....

That's how mine is setup, where are your 3rd party POIs?
And where on the phone should I put my 3rd party POIs in order for TTN5 to recognise them?
You should put them all in the file great-britain-map.Extract them from the zip and just put the OV2. and bmp. file of the poi in there.Don't create another folder within the map folder just dump them in there among the other files in there otherwise tt wouldn't find them.hope that helps.I have mine all installed on the sd card-maybe try this if this doesn't work?although if anywhere i would of thought it would run better of the phones storage :?:
Eh??
That's what I said, they are currently installed on my storage card in the maps directory, I want to try them on the phone's own memory to see if it speeds it up at all. Is that possible?
Also, what POI's do you have installed, if it's the speed cameras, do you have the individual ones or the single file version?
oh.misunderstood!you'll have to re-install it into file explorer-program files.i downloaded the speed camera poi,unzipped them and put all the ov2 and bmp files in one at a time
Weird, it sounds like we have identical setups, but on your it works and on mine it jerks (ooh poetry!)
I assume then that you have all speed camera POIs set to show and also to give you warnings?
What type of SD card do you have?
The only choice of PPC mapping software for Non-Chinese speaking users in Asia is pretty much Mapking. And Mapking exerts a hefty prices for it: HKD 280 for Beijing only, HKD 330 for Hong Kong and so forth. Add some cities and you’ll be talking real money.
However, Mapking is a total dud on both of my Hermes (WM5) and Trnity (GPS, WM6.) Mapking2007 AND Mapking G10 refuse to load on both devices. They give me a splash screen and die. The only thing I get loaded is the obsolete Mapking5, and that has no maps for sale.
If you google "Mapking" and "splash screen," you will see that this phenomenon is widespread. I found lots of complaints and no solution.
However, Mapking does nothing to address the issue.
I have sent [email protected] several emails, from friendly to grumpy, and ALL emails remained unanswered. Mapking is either dead, or they are playing dead. They collect money for product that is unfit for sale. And they ignore their customers.
Google Maps is free and works like a charm in HK. Alas, no Google maps for Beijing. I’m wide open for suggestions.
D810 English rom + Mapking G10 here, from WM5 to WM6, from HK to Taipei to Beijing, worked like a charm, no problem experienced.
No Problems here
PDAViet rom 10
Mapking 2007, Hong kong, Hong Kong Hiking, Shenzen, Manila maps installed. always found it very stable
D810 English rom + Mapking 2007 + Malaysia maps - working fine.
Upon launching Mapking, it will wait between 3-8 mins b4 GPS initiate.
Guess is common as it take time to load the GPS.
mapking - splashscreen - Quits
Dont know if anyone solved the Mapking closes after Splashscreen issue yet but i kinda fixed it.
I installed Pocket Mechanics, Low Level format the Card. Set Cluster size to 4K.
Reinstall mapking 2007 and its working. Still testing it. Unless there is a problem. I wouldnt be posting anything.

Hi
This is VERY interesting, I have a d810=Trinity and have the same Splash screen problem. Please let me know what version of Pocket Mecahnic you installed and how did you configure it.
By the way when i install the Mapking R12 version everything works OK but there are missing maps like India etc. If someone knows how to convert G10 or 2007 maps to the R12 map format this would be great.
splash screen issue
I had trouble getting Mapking (G10 and below) to work on WM5 too. All I had to do was move a bunch of files off of the card and reinstall then it launched the first time and has worked ever since. It wasn't a card space issue, it seems to have something to do with it scanning the card (for map files?) on first startup. I could move the files back onto the card after that without issues. I just upgraded to WM6 and G10 installed fine, albeit with a half empty 2GB card this time...
I should clarify, I believe the issue was NUMBER of files, not the space used on the card. In any case, try moving as many files off as possible, reinstalling, and see if that works...

Which files did you move, from where and where to??
If I remember correctly it was just a ton of assorted files from "My Documents" It didn't seem to me to matter what it was, just to reduce the number of files on the card.
@ausi
According to this http://www.ppcsg.com/lofiversion/index.php/t89755.html you can just change the extension for compatibility between the g10 and 2007. I'd almost bet the same thing applies to r12 since it is supposed to just be a rebranded version of one or the other for OEMs (I think it's closer to g10, maybe minus a few features)

I tried it but it didn't work for me.
Hi,
The above problem plague many mapking users, surprising never see a reply from the company that make this excellent navigation software for pocketpc. Well after many sleepless night and different configurations, finally found out the real cause.
The problem lies with the mapking program don't like any directories and files that the characters added up together be more than 128 characters. This is root of all the problems.
a, No problem.
\Storage card\Programs Store\abc.txt
b. Got problem. The below complete file path is more than 128 characters.
\Storage card\Programs Store\1234567890\12345678901234567890\123456789012345678901234567890\1234567890123456789012345678901234567890\abc.txt
Also, Mapking only search for mapfiles on the location that it is being installed. For example, if the mapking is installed in the phone/pocketpc main memory, it will only search for maps there. If mapking is installed in Storage Card, it will therefore only search there.
There are few senerios that will make users complain that mapking cannot work. For example,
1. For 1st start after installing mapking, if there is any directories/files that is more than 128 characters, mapking will exit after displaying the splash screen and will keep doing that.
2. If there is no directories/files that is more than 128 characters, after showing the splash screen, mapking will run and show the default mapfile(hk demo map). It will create a registry key in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\MapAsia MapKing2007\Init
MainMapFile=\Where is the installed directory\Where is the installed directory\mapfile name.m7a
User can add additional maps on the place where mapking is being installed. In the phone/pocketpc main memory or the Storage Card, and the user will be happy.
3. But down the road, the user unknowingly installed some software or add any file that has a complete path name more than 128 characters, the user will still able to use mapking, but he can't Open Map(search for new map) any more. If he tries to Open map, the hour glass will keep spinning. If the user delete or move the map, the mapking program cannot run after the splash screen, it will says Cannot load map or no map found. The program is the registry key still remains MainMapFile=\Where is the installed directory\Where is the installed directory\mapfile name.m7a so, since the map stated is not there it will create an error and exits.
So long story short, if want to run mapking, don't create or have any directory or file path name that is more than 128 characters in the same memory location(phone/pocketpc main memory or the Storage Card) as mapking.

I have installed in wm6.1 IGO 8, but when running the application gives me an error, lack memory. I have done a hard reset and I have installed new application with the same result.
Error
Out of memory.
Requested: 19200
Cache: 525940
Someone with the same problem?
Any comment on that?
Thanks in advance.
same problem
hi i had the same problem here and i resolved it installing a wm5 wwe rom that gives me 26mb free ram even if sometime the problem appears again
Thank you for your reply.
The 64mb Uni is unfortunately not up to it when running IGo8.
With about 24mb of free ram it won't even start due to memory shortage. With 26mb and all terrain and buildings switched off it runs on Jwrightmcps Wm6 , but after about 10 mins it starts freezing.
I'll stick to TomTom, and only use the IGo when needed due to the newer maps.
I have a hp h5450 winth wm2003 too and in this machine IGO 8 work ok.
Do you use TTS? If you do, change to non-TTS. That does the trick for me.
I use Canada maps though so there's no 3D buildings to worry about, even though I have all those options enabled. May need more memory if there's 3D buildings on the map I suppose.
At first, some people suggested to have at least 27MB of RAM and I didn't have that much so I thought that's the problem. After playing around with a few other ROMs that give me at least 27MB before running it, still no go. I was about to give up but then I decide to go with non-TTS and see what happens. It worked. I had roughly 24 MB when I tested it. 30Km distance. Simulate mode.
With TTS, didn't get very far and that error popped up.
I have iGO8 running on my Qtek which has a vanilla WM6 Rom on it from
Mo3ulla.
Before I start iGO i have normally 26,5mb of free prog mem and while running the app I O/C my cpu.
Well, iGO runs ok, I have the 3D building/TTS deactivated. The only problem I have it that sometime after 30-45 min my 3D map dissapears. It starts that I miss parts of my map and it ends with an "empthy" map. I do keep my 2D map, the blue pointer and the route guidance...A restart of iGO brings back my 3D map!
I asked Nav N Go support desk of advice just to be told that my device is currently not supported and that he did not known why I whas loosing my 3D map. Whether he whas clueless or could not be asked I dont know...
fact is they are NO help!
From other forums I found out that iGO8 normally takes up to 36mb free prog mem, but that it is normally happy with 24-26mb and that it leave always 4mb for other applications.
Well, I have decided to upgrade my Qtek to 128mb Ram, I have invested in a navigation program capable of showing 3D terrain/buildings and I end up switching this mode off...
Ciao!

IGO8 is beautiful precisely for the 3D texture.
I will have to upgrade my uni to 128MB, but I don´t know where it do in Spain.

rDosti V.11 (WM6.1)-Vanila ROM-+37.80MB Free RAM / "80MB" Storage/disk

Please read this post:

About iGo working with Rdosti v.11, I received answer in ROM's thread: there are problems with BT, losing connection after little time.
Hi everyone!
Anyone tried iGo for Android? I'd like to use it on my Kaiser, but there is a problem in screen size (resolution). I'm not able to cofigure it...
its workign great with hero
I had it on my Hero, but felt it was quite sluggish and slow.
I was using copilot live 8 and thought I'd evaluate iGo, but compared to copilot it didn't like it.
I will be sticking with copilot until TomTom decides to lauch their verson for the android.
I preferred iGo over TomTom on my touch diamond when I used that. It was much better than CoPilot and Navigon but the IGo My Way for android that I downloaded to use on my HTC Desire had a very low resolution so it was constantly just displayed on a third of my screen
When I tried iGo on my HTC Kaiser with Android, it was slow. Actions had delays, and even the 3D was slow.
iGo is great on Windows Mobile, but not for Android.
i have it too...i think it works kinda great....but does someone have a date when tomtom is going to come to android???
have it on my xperia and love it too
I need this app because it have the best maps of my country, but i have Acer Liquid with WVGA and i have the screen issue.
Has anyone found any solution???
You're talking about an official iGo version for Android or the motonav one ?
I use motonav with my desire and navigation is OK
I used the windows mobile version with my Omnia and "basic" navigation is exactly the same.
Now i'm waiting for an official version for android with more features than just "basic" navigation (Real time traffic, POI etc ...)
I tested it a while ago and it was rather slow, strange because it was running fine on my windows mobile HTC Touch2 which is a lot less performant than my current Samsung Galaxy S i9000.
I've then moved to Sygic mobile maps and I love it. It works very fast, has all the features I need and looks nice too
kongar thanks for your hard work. I did notice that while in night mode the sign post and land information signs are cut off at the bottom. I did not notice this for the day mode.
maps?
Anyone have maps for "iGo my way" i need map for sweden but having a hard time finding any..
You are right about the bug. I have the same issue.
I get a popup "Please insert your SD card containing iGO content files."
I have the iGO My Way folder on my sd card with content, license, and
scheme subfolders with all files and the map of my state.
Any advice??

i have the ARIA with smaller screen resolution. Anyone have the appropriate APK for that?
Just to be clear, I had IGO8 on windows mobile. if I run the right version for my Aria, will it execute (so long as I rename the folder IGO instead of IGO8)?
When i try to open igo,i have this message:"missing or incomplete folder:igo/license".what i did wrong???thx!!!

Hi Guys,
I have an iGo Primo 8.5.9.142948 (Rel. may 11 2010).
It runs smoothly until I start a route navigation. When navigation is ongoing it gets an error message 'there is not enough memory free to run' which message covers the whole screen.
I've checked in these situations and there is quite much memory free to use (about 100MB).
This issue comes up on irregural basis. Sometimes it can run for 1 hour long, sometime it crashes after 5 minutes.
The application itself seems OK, as I tested to execute it, just without navigating with good result.
(I have ROM 1.28.401.4 (66092), WinMo 6.5 Prof, Build 21874.5.0.80)
Is there any way to trace the memory consumption or make automatic log about application crashes, unexpected events (like in desktop PC windows)?
Does anyone know something about WinMobile memory usage?
Please advise!
hi, search for "uiflex"
this close automatic sense or other homescreen and starts your gps or other programs and when you close navigation then starts your homescreen new.
sry for this bad engl.
Hi,
Thanks for the app, but seems doesn't help. It disables my home screen which could be good, but my problem is not with the lack of memory.
There are much memory free when running igo primo, but suddenly the WinMo decides that there are no more free memory (however there is about 95MB free) and it closes Primo.
I would trace somehow the events and memory consumption meanwhile executing the navi app.
Or if someone has already met with this problem and knows the fix that would be the best
Thanks
