I searched almost everywhere for a solution.
I have the Huawei U8800pro with official ICS. I use Sygic a lot. My problem is the maps.
I use cracked versions. When I find a version that works well with my phone (not all are) I get stuck with outdated maps. I tried to download updated maps with the map downloaders but Sygic can not recognize them. I put them in the maps folder, nothing. I rename them, nothing. I can't seem to find a way to get them to work with older version.
Is there a way to get the new maps to work with an older version?
I'm searching the same. Do you find any solution?
Is anybody found solution for above. We use old version of Sygic as interface and serching is good and fast. In new versions, it takes lot of time to search the desired location as well as it crashes frequently.
bump.
to this day the best version is still 14.3.x, mostly due to custom POI sound notification. Anyone found a solution?
yes there is a solution and i have implemented it successfully. download Sygic versions 14.0.1 and 15.3.3 which are of old and new interface respectively.
1. Install the new version i.e. 15.3.3 and download the desired maps.
2. Now copy the files inside the folder containing the maps e.g. sygic/maps/abc.tr.2015.03 . Copy the files inside the folder map.tr.2015.03 and keep them in a separate folder outside of sygic folder.
3. Now uninstall the new version and install the older version i.e. 14.0.1.
4. Now again download the same maps which you downloaded previously.
5. Now again go in the maps folder (sygic/maps) and you will see that the downloaded maps are not the latest maps which you downloaded with the new version because the name of the folder containing the map files will be different e.g. sygic/maps/abc.tr.2011.02. Previously it was abc.tr.2015.03 and now it is abc.tr.2011.02.
6. Now replace the files in abc.tr.2011.02 with files you copied from the folder abc.tr.2015.03.
(IMPORTANT THING IS THAT DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME OF THE FOLDER. LET IT REMAIN AS abc.tr.2011.02.)
7. Now run the sygic and you will see that it will have new maps in the older version.

the truth is i dont know about greek maps or tomtom maps. i just know the maps that i downloaded from sygic maps manager in settings. i am from pakistan and it worked perfectly. maybe you are changing the folder names. you are not suppose to change folder names. old folder name in old sygic (14.0.1) with new files inside and not the complete map folder only the folder with country maps files inside. and yes it does not work with every version. with me it only worked with mentioned versions 15.3.3 files in 14.0.1. do not try any other version. thankyou
So, the maps are compatible betweeen different versions of Sygic, that is pretty good. But even if the software/user interface is running, is it possible that newer maps include more featureas and therefor require more hardware?
For instance tomtom has different maps for low spec devices and high spec devices, so even having a very old gps device you can have updated maps.
Does Sygic deliver light weight and heavy weight maps?

Anybody know how to add a map in Tomtom 5?, I have copied Deutschland-Map to my SPV M500 but my Tomtom does not recognize it.
I have tried to modify a file in MyDocuments called "CurrentMap.dat" by way of copy the file on my PC and open it with a notepad. In my case the maps were located on the Storage Card then just insert the path where the maps are located. I.E : \Storage Card\Deutschland-Map\ but still it doesn't work...!! :? Any idea would be highly appreciated..!!!
take the card out soft reset then put the card back in if that doesnt do it try a soft reset with the card in
tomtom map not found
I found this to be a problem also. I've got all the maps on the storage card along side the GREAT BRITAIN map and it doesn't pick them up.
I also tried amending the CURRENTMAP.DAT file to reflect the correct path, but nothing changes. Has anyone else suffered with this that could help us please? as this is getting really frustrating.
:lol:
yes, this makes frustration as Tomtom5 doesn't pick the extra map like Deutschland, Great Britain, Spain etc etc.
In this case, my standard map is Benelux so after I modify the file called "currentmap.dat" in Tomtom folder like : \Storage Card\Deutschland-Map\, it always returns to Benelux map and no other map options.
Before I changed that file the size was about 31kb, after I changed it became 62kb, however...once I started Tomtom to see whether it picked the Deutschland map, it returned to the original size of 31kb.....****t...!!! (
anyone can help me pleasseee...?
Map Not Found
Hi Guys, i Have had the map not found error a few times, i find its some how deleting this file from my memory card " Great_Britain_Plus.mid " not sure why. Once i put it backin the zip folder all is g00d, think it could be my windows media player adding it to libary en me removing it.. who no's.. hope it helps .. LAterZ
I also meet this problems. Map not found...
any ideas?
map not found
I simpley reinstalled the Tom Tom 5 software and it found the maps straight away!
I found this solution for me.
In each map folder there is a PNA file, e.g. Great_Britain-Map.PNA, this can be opened with notepad.
The last line of this PNA file for the maps that did work no problem were all the same number, 566. So, I opened their PNA file and changed that number to be the same as the maps that did work and bingo. it picked them up.
Give it a go.

USA Maps
I don't have the USA maps for TomTom 5....can anyone help me out!?
Matt
I had this problem when i first used TomTOm
The way i got it working was to install again but make sure you install the benalux map, leave it there then add your own maps.
Once your map is installed and youve ran TomTom, swap to your map then you can remove the benalux map.
Hello All,
I have recently got TomTom Navigator and I have the North American map loaded up nicely, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the voices loaded.
I downloaded the Ozzy Swearing voice, and got the 3 necessary files I need, but I put them in every damn folder that has to do with TomTom and still no available voices show up in the application?
First, I created a folder called "Voices" on the root of the storage card, as I was instructed to do, but that didn't work.
Second, I went to Storage Card-->Program Files-->Navigator-->Sounds, and put the 3 files there. Still nothing.
Third, I found "TomTom" folder at My Device-->TomTom. I didn't create this folder, so i assume the app created it on the install. Anyways I put the 3 files there and again nothing.
Fourth, I went to My Device-->My Documents and created "TomTom" folder and dumped the 3 files in that folder. One forum said this might work, and it didn't unfortunately.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is the current version and map pack I am using on my HTC HD2.
TomTom Navigator v7.910.9185
TomTom Maps of North America v8.45.2647
you have to put a \navigator\voices into the dir.
you download for ex voices from here laurusbuth.nl/tomtom up you go
ps: after hours of looking and searching and trying, i've managed to get these to work
google for : TTN7.916.9192_VGA_Black (cab) and Western_and_Central_Europe_2GB_840_2563

Hey the original didn't have a voice folder by default. The voice folder is created after adding your first voice. Just thought you should know.
Buy the original software from tomtom website and you'll see the difference ...You said :"The voice folder is created after adding your first voice" . So where is the problem in fact because you said "First, I created a folder called "Voices" on the root of the storage card, as I was instructed to do, but that didn't work." So folder is created after install in the right place,not necessary to create it manually ...
maps
Hi,
thank you for the tips!
Now I still can't figure out how to load the maps.
I have a file called "France" that I tried to place everywhere, but I can't find a place where it works (tomtom tells me that I don't have any map).
Should I create a new folder like for the voices?
I tried to create a "CurrentMap.dat" (real dat, no txt) file set to "& \Carte Stockage\France\" that I put in "HTC HD_mini_T5555\Carte Stockage\My Documents\TomTom", but not result.
Any idea why it still says that I have no map?
Thank you.
It has to be activated first. You can do that on the TomTom site
Hi,
a problem is that I can't use "active sync" on my computer, nor any program that require windows update to get installed, because windows update is not working (don't know why, it's a real version). Anyway... no active sync for me.
That's why I can't load the first free map too.
Is there a surefire way to download maps so the transformer does not need to be wifi/tethered to run this as a stand alone GPS?
I ran across this, anyone used it?
Brut Google Maps 4.6.0.4686-brut17
Not tried that one you mention but this one works great.
Cheers. Just tried that and found it very good. Even has a map with local bus route overlays.

I couldn't find a way to tell it to download the maps in full only small squares.
I had downloaded it on my droid x and it worked great. But it won't download maps to the transformer... My apologies.
Another way..

Hi, You dont say if you have an android phone, BUT if you had a rooted HTC Desire. (am sure it would work with any other htc that has car panel). (my sig says the one im using).
You could do the following;
Either Download a free app from the android market called "OntheflyBackup" run the app and you will now have the "Navigation app" and the "CarHomeLauncher app" and backups of all your other programs so its a win win situation. Or if your winrar savvie just extract the files from a Rom.
Now;
1, Run "Carpanel" app on the phone.
2 Select Get More, and download the maps you want (wifi enabled for speed)
3, Open the sd card either through data link or removing the card from the phone. Look in the folder ".data" you will see a folder "navigator"
4, Now copy this folder to a new ".data" folder on the "Internal" Sd card you acn see in the file explorer on the transformer. It must be in this one and Not the external Sd card.
5, Copy the "Navigation app" and the "CarHomeLauncher app" to downloads or any other folder on the card. placed in the Transformer.
6, On the Transformer, install the two apps and then run "Navigation". The car panel Wont look the same as on the phone It dosnt have the get more button, But will allow you to Navigate to anywhere on the maps you have selected.
Ive tried this from the UK to a area in Germany and it worked for me.

Thanks,
Unfortunately I have symbian phone - hope to get an android phone soon, but just don't use anything but email and calender as far as a "smart phone". And right now I have 15/month unlimited data plan. If I switch to a "smart phone" then ATT will hit me for large data plan.
Oruxmaps enables you to view online maps from many sources including Google Maps.
It will also let you define a location and surrounding area and it will then cache all the Google Maps tiles (or any other service's tiles) to your SD card. You can even define several zoom levels to store for each area.
It does a lot more than just that and is free on the market.
Hello. I updated google maps to version 5.7 and was wondering if it is possible to do such trick: download maps (areas) for offline u3se and then locate that files on my sgs2. Then copy these maps to pc and after 30 days when cache will automatically delete saved areas, then I just copy from pc maps previously saved an paste them into google maps folder. So I don't need to download maps again. Just download once to cover all my state and then just paste sabed maps again. sorry for bad english. I hope you understand what i mean.
OK I started this thought in a thread regarding someones question with gps apps on android. I eventually got into trying to figure out how to get Sygic maps onto the SD card and not the internal storage.
In the Aura folder (since it's Sygic Aura) there are 3 folders (Android, Maps, and Res) Android I'm assuming contains app files, Maps containing well... maps, and res containing all the graphics for the app (voices, sounds etc) there are also 2 other files in the main Aura folder "base-is-ok.txt" which is a completely empty text file, and database.xml.
This database.xml is where I have been messing with the settings for where the app looks for it's files.
It's normal string is "Arua/Android/ or "Arua/Maps/
I tried setting this to either extStorage/SdCard/Aura and I also tried /mnt/sdcard2/Aura
Neither of these worked.
I was hoping a dev (since I am very new to the Android OS) would point me in the direction of the location of the sdcard as seen by android and whether or not I need to root my Tab plus to achieve what I am currently thinking about.
I did just find a settings file that points to locations such as MapPath=/.../Maps so I might continue messing with that.
same question
Hello,
I try to do the same thing without result,anybody can help ?
There must be something because when I put files on sd card everything work, when there is no file I got the sygic downloader and when I mess with the xml file, sygic open up then close
Thanks
