Hallo,
It's not possible to install maps trough .cab files.
TT has to install map related lines in the .exe file, .doc file and in the reg.
So you have to install trough setup.
Succes, Hannes 8)

Use a card reader.
Or you could install the maps to a local folder on the PC and then copy the directory over via activesync.

Can you please tell me how you managed to get TomTOm installed? I get the error message every time: Tomtom was unsuccessfully installed.

Ok I installed Italy maps but now the program asks for an activation process. Even giving the code embedded in the map, the activation on the tom tom site doesn't work...

can you give us a step by step process. and what versions of TT have you used ?

I installed tom tom 5.1 copying .cab files in the jasjar, then I copied the italy_plus folder in the jasjar and the program acknowledges the map ... but it asks for the activation code, saying that i must insert the disposal code (shown by the program) in a tom tom site mask. I tried but the site says that the disposal code is wrong.

I Got my TT5 working on the K-Jam! (Partially) This is what I did:
1 - TT5 did not istall properly over active sync - So I installed all of the CAB filed to my Storage Card and installed directly on the divice (I belive there are 4 files + get 1 voice file by searching the CD) I belive some the files are named ttn, GPS, etc)
2 - I emailed TomTom support and sent them a copy of my card so they can allow me to Re-activate my account (Belive they needed a copy of the card/cd, invoice of purchase and device invoice -- u can scan them , attached them, to a word file and email it to them). My code originally activated for my JAM (diff device code).
3 - I used the TomTom Map software to install the map to my PC. Then I copied the folder to my devices card via active sync
4 - when I started the TT5 -- it asked me for the activation code (which I got through ttcode.com)
5 - I activate the GPS control panel on Windows 5.0 (instructions I found on this site)
That is as far as I have gotten -- I am trying to figure out how to LINK the GPS to the K-Jam -- TomTom only lists a few coms open, but not one that the Blue Tooth lists.
Once I Figure it out -- I will post again!
Email me if you have any questions.
Hoped this helped!

In total you have to copy 4 files
mobile device\tomtom\CurrentMap.dat
\TomTom\TomTom\data05.bmp
\TomTom\TomTom\data05.chk
\Program Files\navigator\data.chk
\Program Files\navigator\tomtom navigator.exe
\Program Files\navigator\navigator.cfg
that's all.
data05.bmp and .chk is for example, you can choose one of your own voices.
Look this up on your device other wise i send you my files so you can try them.
Good Luck

is Destinator 3.075 on Jasjar possible?

Has anyone managed to install Destinator 3.075 on Jasjar

Yes, try searching and you'll find your answers!

1. Copy across the "DestinatorApps" directory to the PPC manually using active sync instead of using the installer
2. Copy the "DestDll.dll" into the windows directory of the PPC manually using active sync
Now you have destator installed (almost) the DestDll.dll also needs to be registered!
3. to register the dll I used "regsvr_arm.exe". just copy it onto the device, and run then select the "DestDll.dll" to register it.
4. Run Destinator and active it with you licence code as you would have previously
i had problems with connecting the com ports on destinator....so i just followed these steps:
First you've got to pair your GPS.
Then go to the "COM" tab in the bluetooth manager
Add a new outgoing port with the GPS as device (use a free com port usually try every single port until it accepts it)
And then do this:
5. Copy the "DestinatorApps/Destinator/Destinator.ini" to your desktop
6. Open this in a hex editor and change where it says C.O.M.6 to the com port of your gps. Mine was Com4 so I just changed
the 6 to a 4.
7. Copy the "Destinator.ini" file back onto the PPC
steps 5-7 i dont know if this is necessary coz after i did these steps, i closed the destinator program and then ran it and the "GPS was found automatically"....but when u go to the gps settings on the destinator program its on COM 1....and COM 4 was not on the list......but i didnt bother trying to set it up as per instructions coz its already working for me......just another note, if u turn off your gps receiver while the destinator program is running and then turn on the receiver again ur not going to be able to connect to a gps satellite etc......u have to actually close the destinator program and start it again and it will again automatically connect ur gps......its a bit complicated trying to follow the instructions......but if u follow it properly it will work.......well it worked on my jasjar as well as my XDA II with WM2003SE.....good luck

yes, thanks hadn't thought of that....
of coarse I have tried searching, I have spent 3 hours doing so ... I have found lots of references especially to a post by believer... haven't as yet found the post which gives the actual full answer ...
found one which gave the ini mod for getting around the os check
-------
if anyone else is looking for answers that part is:
modify the [Platforms] section of C:\DestinatorApps\Installer\Console\Default.ini
add the line
P2577V351=ARM
-------
what I haven't found is the issue of the dll being registered.
Now that you have wasted everybodies time and had me write all of this, are you likely to be helpful and provide a link, (as you seem to know where it is) or are you more a smartass without a clue than a geovass.

Thank you irv777 nice to see someone with intelligence

Destinator on JasJar and regsvr_arm.exe
Can anybody please point me in the right direction as to find regsvr_arm.exe. I have followed all the directions so far and when I try run destinator I get a Destinator object creation error. The only thing I havn't done is the register bit, please.

here you go

Destinator turns off after some minutes
First of all, thank you everybody who gave instructions for the installation, of the Destinator specially for irv777. I followed the irv777 instructions and I could install the Destinator and configure the GPS perfectly. But I could notice that after using some minutes the Destinator, the screen of my Pocket PC turned off and when I turned it on again (using the light button), the GPS communication was lost because the GPS COM Port was changed. Does anybody have the same problem? Does anyone have any idea of what is happening in my case? I could realize that when I open the registry on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Apps/DestinatorApps of my Pocket PC it is different from the registry of the Pocket PC of my friend who installed the Destinator using the custom metodology (he doesn't have WM5). Is it the cause of that problem? If it is the cause how can I fix it? I don't know how to edit registry.

I havn't found any problems with it on mine. a possible work around for you might be to change the power and light settings so they don't turn off when you are using destinator.....
;-)
good luck

obviously i am doing something wrong here....
copy the destinator apps were in the ppc? i dont have enough memory eventhough my exec is recently formated (ppc 32mb free/destinator apps 36mb).
anybody?
edit: please mates.... i am leaving for a road trip in ten days and i could realy use a gps

Is the procedure similar if you have an embedded GPS?
I have a Mio P350 & want to put Destinator 3 on it, do you install the console on the PC first, if so what files & from where do you install on the PDA, & what do you install on the SD card?
Appreciate any help I can get, as the MioMap v3.2 is driving me crazy!

TT5 & BT: procedure to install & make it work

Hi,
I just tested successfully the following procedure:
1) install TT5 using .cab files (transfer to the device & run each one)
2) pair BT unit;
3) configure TT5 using "Other Bluetooth GPS", "max baud rate", "com 0";
4) close TT5;
5) copy the navigator.cfg file (in Programs\Navigator on your device) via Activesync to desktop;
6) open the file with wordpad - DO NOT ALTER anything else but COM0 to COM5;
7) close the file;
7b) save the file modified back to the device;
9) Turn on BT reciever;
10) start TT5, wait a few seconds and...voilà !

Cool
I'm glad to see that someone else has tried it and it works for them too.

thanks Italos !!!

Sorry for asking, is this registered TT5 or <you-must-know-what-I-meant> ?
Because I dont have a registered version, but it is working find with my Magician.
Thanks!

We are not talking Magician we are talking Wizard
I had it working fine on my Magician, just like you
But I have upgraded to a Wizard and the above
process is what I had to do to get it work on the Wizard

Yeah I know that. We are talking about WIZARD.
That's why I use but ... meaning: it (my tomtom) is working fine with my Magician, but I dont know if it will work with WIZARD.
That's why I ask "What kind of tomtom do you use?" ... Registered? Or CRACKED one (like mine, in my Magician).

Makes no difference m8 - the problem seems to be "universal"
It should work if you follow those instructions, you have a BTGPS receiver and whatever install of TT5

Hi Guys,
New on this Forum, bought a Qtek 9100 a few days ago.
Have been struggling since to get tomtom 5 to work with my BT GPS, and
I just wanna say big thx to Italos for the instructions, worked like charm.
One thing though, I still got TomTom 5, I tried to install the 5.1 update and ended up in it saying it can´t find any maps...ok so back in version 5 all that was located in the "\My Documents\TomTom\CurrentMap.dat file. SSo I edited that one to point to my map on the storage card.
Fired up TomTom 5.1 again, and still not working, ok then I was not sure I had a real tomtom5 map, so I tried to extract the map from the TomTom5 DVD, well wen´t fine just to extract the cab, but I then ended up with these files.
00000.poi.010
000cline.006
000faces.004
0mapinfo.005
0traffic.009
SCANDI~1.000
SCANDI~1.007
tmccodes.008
I guess it will work if I extrackt these ones and replace those on my card, but how do I go about it?
I have tried with winrar, and that does not work, anyone who knows which program can extract these files?
thx / fahlis

O2 XDA II mini s Tomtom Naviagator 5

I have a O2 XDA II mini s and Tomtom Naviagator 5 software. I am using a Tomtom BT GPS Reciver.
When I try installing the software I get the Windows Error Box.
Can anyone give me a straight forward solution to this problem, I have trawled through just about every forum I can find to no avail.
Its driving me nuts please help!

The solution is simple really.
tomtom 5.00 is apparently not compatable with wm5... well it is just not off the CD.
You have a choise either you direct to the cd "pocket pc" and copy the zip/cab files over to your phone and install it from your phone. Then you install maps onto your hard disk and copy them to a storage point.
OR
d/l tomtom 5.** about .20 currently, install that then you will still have to copy the voice from the voice directory on the CD tp the storage on your phone and will still have to do the same with the maps.
if you want you b.t. gps to work I found to copy the gps cab file and install from the phone.
it all works very well even 5.00 but like I said you cant install from the CD.
its a pain, hope this helps

Ive Tried copying the following cab files
D:\tomtom\nveur\pocketpc\gps.zip
D:\tomtom\nveur\pocketpc\PIMMAddin.zip
D:\tomtom\nveur\pocketpc\ttn.zip
D:\tomtom\nveur\pocketpc\wizard.zip
Ive installed them on my phone but i cant find the application to launch Tomtom.
Ive also tired download the update and installing the cab files, i have the same problem with that.
Am i missing anything?
Im thinking of getting ALK CO-Pilot has anyone had any problem installing it to a Wizard.

just remove it and try d/l 5.21 off the tt website.
install it from your PC not as cab.
Also you may need to install your today cab, but this is not a normal thing. also you may have to send off for a new activation code if you used tt5 on another phone.
good luck and you will have the same problem with co-pilot as it also designed for wm2003/se so stick with tomtom.
look in the jamin section there is a post i put in about solving this problem

Tomtom Navigator 5.21 WM5 - No Maps Detected - FIX

Hello,
I have installed TTN5 to my device rom.
Now I have put the "Florida-Map" in the root directory of my mini-sd card.
When I start TomTom it says there's no maps detected.
I have read some other forum about it but no one has found a solution.
Any ideas please ?
-----------------------------------------------------------
I found the solution for the NO Maps Detected:
Your problem like many others is not your version of TomTom its your versions of the map.
I realise the maps you currently have used to work on your older tomtom version.
Look for complete map sets of the USA. USA Eastern-Map, USA Western-Map...and so on.
DO not ask me or PM me for where to find those files.
Look on file sharing networks or buy them from TomTom
Hope this helps

TomTom Bluetooth GPS Ports WM5 Working Setup 100% Easy Step By Step !
First of all I would like to say thank you to "thereaperman" from Modaco Frums for this great help ! I took this from him and making it accessible to this forum easily for others to use !
Here are his steps:
STEP 1 : INSTALL TOMTOM5
You do this by copying the CAB files from the CDROM (eg F:\PocketPC) to the K-JAM and launch one by one from there with the explorer of the K-JAM
.
You can install voices the same manner by copying the CAB files to the K-JAM (eg from F:\Voice on the CDROM)
STEP 2 : UPGRADE TO V5.1
EDIT: Please use the tomtom official site to obtain the update here
STEP 3 : ACTIVATE THE GPS CONTROL PANEL
Fire up a registry editor (eg http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml )
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings
Delete the DWORD marked "hide"
Add a DWORD called "Group" and give it the value of "2" (dec)
The GPS panel will now show up in your connection settings.
STEP 4 : INSTALL TOMTOM5
1. Establish a bond with your GPS and select the checkbox for serial access.
2. In BT, select the OUTGOING port to 6.
3. In the GPS control panel, select the GPS program to 0 and make sure that the hardware one, is set to None.
4. Start TT5 and the GPS settings, select another bluetooth GPS, and you will see COM 0 free. Select COM 0 and close TT5.
5. At the GPS control panel again, now select COM 6 (before we set it up at 0).
6. At BT: select OUTGOING port to 0.
7. Back again to GPS control panel and select NONE.
8. Finally start TT5 and it should connect automatically. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the GPS settings and you should see it has connected.
FOR THE Wizard or IF NOT WORKING ON YOUR DEVICE TRY:
6. At BT: select OUTGOING port to WHATEVER NUMBER IS AVAILABLE EXCEPT 6.
7. Back again to GPS control panel and select NONE.
8. Finally start TT5 and
CHANGE GPS BT PORT SETTINGS TO WHATEVER NUMBER YOU CHOSE IN STEP 6
it should connect automatically. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the GPS settings and you should see it has connected.
Hope this helps all of you !!!

1. Create a txt file on your pc called Currentmap.txt
2. In txt file write "\xxxx-xxx\yyyyyyy"
xxxx-xx = name of your sd card as shown in file explore
yyyyyy = name of you current map file as shown in file explorer
3. Save the txt file
4. rename the txt file to Currentmap.dat
5. On you Wizard create a folder in your My Documents folder called TomTom
6. Copy the Currentmap.dat file into this directory
7. Start TTN and hopefully it will see the map

THank you,
But didn't work for my situation. I even tried to take the CureentMap.dat file from my instalation from my JAM but that didn't do it either !
Any other suggestions please ?
This seems to be a problem on multiple forums that no-one has figured out yet.

Same problem, here. I got an older map which I used on my Treo 650 which doesn't seem to work with WM5 version. I presume these maps are interchangeable since it's strictly data. Put California-map in the root directory and has the same issue as the OP's.
I've read from another forum that old maps (5.0?) do not work with 5.21. Is that the case? Appreciated if someone can confirm so I don't have to waste my time playing w/ this.

here is how I did it:
On your desktop, launch Notepad.
Type & \Storage Card\New-England_and_Mid-Atlantic-Map\ or whatever the name of your main map folder is on your mini-SD card. Do not forget to add the final backslash and a have a space between the ampersand and the first backslash.
Save the file as CurrentMap.dat. Make sure it doesn't end up as CurrentMap.dat.txt!
Put the file in My Documents/TomTOm on your device.
Worked for me with my Benelux Map.

canada and USA maps doesn't work with tomtom 5. You can make it work using bakonl version 5.1 but not higher

As far as I know 5.21 only works with the plus maps.

I had a WM2003 PDA and had TT V5 on it.
I now have a new device with WM2005 OS and I installed TT V5. TT Worked (including finding maps) but could not see the BT GPS.
I upgraded to TT V5.21 and it worked. It sees all the European Maps.
However to install TT V5 I had to do it manually because the install did not like connecting to the device using Activesync. I did it by creating the required directories on the Phone manually, extracting TTN.cab on the PC, renaming the extracted files and manually copying them to the Phone. The TT V5.21 installed the upgrade OK over Activesync.
If anyone wants the full instructions on how I did it I will post them.

Please provide instructions!

OK - Heres what I did - please note that this is the exact process I followed (twice) and it worked for me. If it doesn't work for you I'm not sure what you can do. But I used TT V5 and the UK/France/Italy/European Maps that came with it.
--------------------------------------------------
step 1 : INSTALL TOMTOM5 Manually
On the PC, Extract the files from within the cab ttn, (its in the PocketPC directory of the install CD.)
Rename 000file0.001 to dat.chk
Rename 000file1.002 to TomTom Navigator.exe
Rename 000file2.003 to CurrentMap.dat
Create a folder in on the device in 'my device-> Program files->' and call it Navigator - place data.chk and TomTom Navigator.exe in here.
Create another folder in 'my docs' called tomtom and place remaining file CurrentMap.dat in here.
For voices I only installed a 'celebrity voice' so I put the files for it in a directory I created called 'voices' in 'my device'.
If you have them OK, if not you will have to get them from a previous install - or create your own.
Now copy the Map Directory of your choice from your TT CD to your Storage Card.
step 2 : SETUP GPS DEVICE
1. Pair your device with your GPS BT unit and select the checkbox for serial access.
2. In the COM PORTS setting for the BT, select 'New Outgoing Port' and for the BT GPS unit set it to 7
Now launch TT and hopefully it will start and go through the install process. When you get to the point where it asks you to select the GPS device - select 'Another bluetooth GPS', and you will be asked to select the Port. If you see COM 7 free - select it. (If not - mine didn't -, select another port to get through the startup, but when TT starts it will report no GPS device found.)
If you did not see COM 7 when you ran TT5, then the chances are you need to upgrade to V5.21 and once upgraded start TT and go to 'Change preferences' - 'GPS Status' and configure the GPS unit again when COM 7 should appear (mine did).
The upgrade also added a standard voice which was not there before.
------------------------------------------
Good Luck

On my iPAQ i origionally loaded TTN v3 with all the associated maps. When TomTom announced the upgrade to TTN v5 i took the oppertunity (All the maps of western europe for £60 seemed to be a bargain). After updating to version 5.0 I have been using it ever since. A few months ago i updated it to v5.21, (essentially its a pair of cab files that do all the upgrading to 5.21) this only updates the software, and does not alter the maps in any way.
TomTom nav v5 maps are all similar, the plus maps just contain newer information (like newly built roads). What TTN5 will not do is read the maps from earlier versions of TTN, like v3 or v2 maps.

any more ideas? Played around with this for long time and can't still get it to load the NA map. Keep getting that "Maps not found' error when I start the program.

NA map?
I assume thats North America.
Have you tried any others?

No. I figure it should not make any difference and I only have the USA map. I am very frustrated at this as GPS is a big function I need on my MDA.
Would manual install help in my situation?
My install was very straight forward. This is what I did on my install, perhaps someone can point out on what I did wrong
1. Just ran the TTN 5.21 and installed the TomTom and Navigator both on minSD.
2. copied my California-map folder into Storage Card\California-map\ directory
3. Modified the currentmap.dat file to say "& \Storage Card\Californai-Map\
4. Ran the damn TTN and got that maps not found error.
What am I doing wrong? Please help.

It sounds like you have done all the right things, but the only other thing I can suggest is that your TTN software has not been activated to accept all maps. There is a patch you can use which "opens" your software to use all maps.
PM me for more info

I have noticed this too (with 5.21 only) . What worked for me was to put another map (besides the not-detected one) on the device. THEN both will be detected. I believe this is an activation issue somewhere in the s/w.

I have just installed TomTom and was getting the map not found error, performed the procedure above, but it didnt work first of all, this is what i had to do to get TomTom working and find the maps.
1. Create the folder TomTom under My documents on the phone (note TomTom folder created with capital T's)
2. Create the file Currentmap.dat with the following entry
& \Storage Card\TomTom\Great_Britain-Map
and copied it to the My documents\TomTom folder i created above
3. Copy the Great_Britain-Map directory that is on the storage card\TomTom directory to the ROOT of the storage card...!! THIS is the what made it work.
You may now remove the Great_Britain-Map folder in the TomTom directory on the storage card to save space.
A combination of creating the Currentmap.dat file (even though it points to a folder i have removed!!!!) and copying the map folder to the root of the storage card worked.
Without the currentmap.dat, tomtom would just hang on me and have to perform a soft reset.
I hope this helps, thanks to this thread i managed to get TT working on my wizard, cheers baz

Funny how you can go on about a subject when the answer is alreeady given in the tread. So maybe I wasn't clear enough. I'll explain better now:
Tomtom 5.21 can read all maps provided by tomtom, as long as they are for the version 5
Patched version of tomtom can read v5 maps too, but only if you put two of them at the root of your SD card. It means two maps that are normaly reconised by tomtom 5 (europe and australia mainly). People complaining about not finding a single map are using an illegal version.
The US maps floating around on p2p are v4 maps. They are not valid for tomtom v5. Maybe the latest "whole US in one map" is compatible, but the splitted one, with one folder for each state, is a v4 map.
The legal version of tomtom v5 cannot read v4 maps. If you put one v5 and one v4 map in your SD card, the patched version will not work because it will only find one map at the root.
The only patched version able to see the v4 maps are (to my knowledge) the bakonl version for v5 and v5.10. This version will hang if you use POI in the "plus" version maps available for most european contry. You will have to choose you executable depending on your maps.
All other problems, described in the previous posts, are for the first time setup. They just help getting the program running for the first time.
SO to answer clearly to the first poster: get a patched version 5.10 by backonl, and don't use it with "plus" version maps. If you want to use them, switch to patched 5.21

and apologies for those that contacted me for the file that makes the maps recognised. I checked to see if I still had it, and I have lost it since i reloaded my PC.

Hey I still have the problem.
I have put the Benelux map on my storage card and the Florida map too.
Only the Benelux one gets detected.
this is my CurrentMap.dat that is the My Documents\TomTom folder
& \Storage Card\Benelux-Map\
& \Storage Card\Florida-Map\
I have the Bakonl 5.21 release.
Hope someone can find a solution !
Thanks you
