K-Jam / Windows Mobile 5 & TomTom 5

Anyone got TomTom 5 working with Windows Mobile 5?
I received my k-Jam this morning but the setup.exe bombs out so I cannot get TT5 installed at all
any help appreciated!
thanks

Try to install the .cab file instead, it should work.

thanks but I have tried that. 3 of the 4 CAB files install but the main one (ttn.cab) - looks like its going to install ok and then you get "the file....installation was unsuccesful".
Any ideas?
Nothing on the TT site - I'm surprised that X51v or other early Windows Mobile 5 users have not been onto this one?
It seems like a problem with Activesync 4.0 initially but as the cab files don't work i guess we need a patch from them?
anyone got it working?
thanks

TomTom 5 install Problem
I had the same problem with the auto run procedure on my mini SD card.
I solved the problem by navigating to the '2577' folder and running each cab file directly on the phone (didnt use activesync). This seemed to work for me.
However, now Im having trouble with bluetooth com ports. Tomtom configuration does not show the port numbers assigned to my paired gps reciever.

Try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29282&highlight=tt5+kjam+qtek+wm5
Let me know how well tt5 runs on the k-jam ie how smooth etc as i'm awaiting my miniSD so can't try it yet!

TomTom Navigator 5.10 works with Windows Mobile 5 and Activesync 4 - but it's NOT easy. The instructions in this thread got it working for me (though I used COM4 instead of COM0):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28386
Also I found that the bluetooth GPS had to be locked on to a signal for TomTom to see it at first - was fine after that.
Although my device is a HTC Universal, it has the same OS and Activesync version as your Wizard so there's no reason why it shouldn't work. Go to the above link and enjoy :lol:

I had the same problem. All cabs would install except the ttn cab. Here's how I solved it.
1. uninstall everything
2. install gps.cab
3. remove sd card and soft reset (this is the important bit)
4. install ttn.cab and this time it should work

Thanks for your help guys.
sl9; How did you get 5.1 to upgrade? After copying the files from the downloaded RAR file I tried to run the setup.exe file on the phone but get a message telling me that the file is not a valid windows mobile program (perhaps it is a smartphone program).

The setup.exe is meant to be run on your PC, it uses activesync. Obviously we know this doesn't work so the solution is to get the 5.10 upgrade from TomTom website as the ZIP FILE, NOT THE EXE - this is important
Anyway, extract the zip, and copy the directory with the 4 cab files in it to your SD card (where you have the map on). Then execute the cabs one by one, using the tip by jdee246 above if any of the cabs don't want to install.
After you install it, then the fun begins trying to get the damn thing to recognise your GPS device, see the link in my earlier post for a guide

Thanks guys - the soft reset seemed to do it. The manual install worked fine in the end.
I now have to wait for TomTom support to give me a code as I already had two a few months back so I can't report on how well it runs yet. Overall tho the Wizard/k-Jam is pretty slow - esp for screen refreshes.
I did try the BAKONL hack which I use to test TomTom on various devices but the ttn.cab on that patch just will not install for me under Win Mob 5.
thans

Thanks to all for your help.
Managed to get Tomtom 5.1 up and running. 5.1 seems to have fixed the gps connectivity problem.
The software runs on the K-JAM just as fast as it did on my QtekS110, with no problems yet.

Hello ,
How can I install the folder "voices" because it's not a ".cab" ?
Thanks for your help.....

Who had install Tomtom 5 on the K-jam ?
Because it's too hard for me and I don't understand everything .... :?
Thanks for your help !!!!
:idea:

In total you have to copy 4 files from your wm2003 device and paste to wm2005 in these dir:
mobile device\tomtom\CurrentMap.dat
\TomTom\TomTom\data05.bmp (voice files on cd)
\TomTom\TomTom\data05.chk (voice files on cd
\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
GuidO

Thanks for your help !!!!!
I try this tomorrow ....

T-Mobile MDA Compact
Hi Guys
I seem to also be having problems with my MDA.
I can install tom-tom just fine, but for some reason it just doesnt recognise my Bluetooth GPS receiver. The receiver brand & model is as per this page:
http://www.qstarz.com/html/products_BT-Q770.htm
I have enabled COM 4 & 5 in the bluetooth settings page and configred tomtom to connect using either com4 or com5 but it just doesnt work.
Any help in solving this problem would be much appreciated!
Many Thanks!

This for all of you who are still having problems...
This is what i did to get my Tomtom working on my T-mobile MDA Compact:
1. uninstall tomtom using add/remove programs.
2. using file explorer deleted the following folders:
\tomtom
\program files\navigator
\program files\contacts navigation
3. Using a registry editor - browse the software sub-folders of HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and delete any tomtom, tomtom navigator, and/or tomtom gps/ tomtom bluetooth supprt folders.
(in order to avoid steps 1,2,3 you can also perform a hard reset after you have backed up all your data & files)
4. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> DRIVERS -> BUILTIN -> BTINSerial
5. Now change the index key from 4 to 6.
6. Exit the registry editor.
7. Soft reset your MDA.
8. Now install TTN5
9. After following the initial setup prompts of TTN5 exit it.
10. Now install tomtom nav. 5.1 (update available from the tomtom website)
11. Go back into tomtom and select "change preferences"
12. Go into GPS CONFIGURATION
13. Select Other Bluetooth
14. Select COM5
15. Click Done
16. Give tomtom about 10 seconds and your GPS navigation should now work OK!!!!
Hope this helps everyone who is trying to get this to work. I have spent a lot of time trying to find a solution that works and this i feel is it!
Needless to say use this solution at your own risk - all i can say is that its worked for me!

once installed, use this procedure.

It works 100%

Can you confirm that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> DRIVERS -> BUILTIN -> BTINSerial is correct - My Vairo didnt have that key...
Plus I seem to be having the same probs as you did but with the Qstarz Q880...

ttn.CAB won't install despite reset
Tried installing TT5.0 on my Vario, but no luck. Like posted before, it won't install ttn.CAB. I tried:
removing all TT files, also from registry
soft reset,
installing gps.CAB,
remove SD,
soft reset,
then install ttn.CAB
but it still says 'installation failed'. Aaarrrggghhhhh
Any ideas, anyone?

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!

? So your saying version 5 will work if I have an original tomtom bluetooth receiver?
ok maybe i'm not fully understanding this? If version 5.00 works on WM5 (my xda mini s) which it does why all the fuss about you must upgrade to 5.21 if you have WM5?
the only eason i ask is because my 5.21 version of tomtom stoped working after a while (dont know why),but when i reinstalled i forgot to update, so at the moment mine says version 5.00 and it's working fine with no problems
cheers

For my knowledge I think because it work already once with tomtom 5.21 some necessary files has been already loaded into the storage card & the device therefore when you reinstall TT v 5.00 it work just fine because you already have the com port existing therefore everything was ok.
To my knowledge when I install the TT 5.00 I cant find the com port for the gps then after I install the update version it appear depend on were you set it.
Hope this help clarify :roll:

i get ya mate. Just waiting to get my new BT receiver so i'll give it a good check to see if it will fully work.
cheers

In need of urgent help!
Right i've finally got a BT receiver so i can now use my xda to replace my old ipaq. Thing is I cant get my bt receiver to work with tomtom. Firstly i cant get the gps control panel to appear in settings/connections. I've done the reg edit then soft reset but stil nothing? I've read all the threads i could find but just cant get it to work. Stupid question but do i need to do the reg edit? Could someone please tell me how they installed and got it to work? please!
I have included pic of what my reg edit looks like.
please help
cheers

that looks correct, then when you go into "connections you should have a new icon "GPS"
one thing to check, if you have another regeditor check the same place in the registry
you may find what you are looking at at the moment has not been saved.
may sound silly but you may be viewing something like cache memory.
which editor are you using? (sorry if you have already said)

i'm using PHM regedit. And that pic was after i saved and exited and soft reset. As you can see the reg edit is still there after reset just no gps icon???
If i'm running tomtom 5.21 would i still need to do the edit?
cheers

tomtom5.21 without reg Editor
hi, I give you my steps that I did and it work for me even in the xda exec .
1 first connect your gps with your pda trough Bluetooth accept serial (thick the box)
Then create an outgoing serial port any (free one in my case com6)
2 after you copied the files of tomtom v5.00 into your storage card, in your ppc do file explore and look for a folder Inside your storage card called 2577 open it, (installing cab) ,first click gps then pimaddin then ttn then wzd install them all to your device.
3 now go to the update file 5.21 click on setup follow the screen the you will get a message saying the previous version……… just click ok .after the installation finish
then voila all should be fine just follow the screen you will be asked to enter your activation code again * (if you dont have email me )then setup tt5 as you like for the gps setting you will find the com6 added,simple for tt gps reciver but If you have a third party gps receiver just use the port that you created earlier (outgoing port com6 in my case) .
it should work no need to edit any registry becouse I havent and is working 100% in my mda vario and xda exec.
hope this help :lol:

cheers mate. managed to get it working. Just have probs with my bt receiver now. very poor signal.
cheers

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

HD2 and TomTom Home

Hello all, I installed TT7 on HD2 and it works very well.
Now I would like to update maps from TomTom Home, but it can recognize HTC HD2...
Is there any tricks for that issue??

i haven't found one yet - also searching! But I can tell u, what the german tomtom-hotline said:
You are the first one with this problem. This phone is too new . He wants to check, if tomtom will start supporting the Leo and give me a reply. I'll keep u up 2 date - but everyone should give them a call, for that they see how many costumers they r loosing...

TomTom Home
I think you need another version of TomTom Home or you have to swap some of the files to get it to recognise your HD2.
I found this information somewhere on the internet, and tried it with my HD and a friend's HD2, which worked... I'll post that information here when I find it...

I'd appreciate that info please.
The cab file I have from my Diamond won't install on the HD2 and TomTom Home doesn't recognise my HD2 at all.

I'm using Win 7 Prof. in german. From the first error I expectet the path to be wrong. The folder in which programs are stored has a german name. So I wanted to create the folder "Program files". This wasn't possible. It already exists. So the german folder seems be named in the english version, but just shows an a german to the users...

Thanks for the response.
That cab file does indeed install but it fails at the download free map stage.
I get the same errors a k82 when replacing the tthome.jar file.
That guide mentions needing to manually install the maps, so it's not really fixing the TomTom Home connection issues.
I know the backup location of my map files as it's possible to access that in TomTom Home, but I've tried copying them onto my memory card on my device but the software doesn't acknowledge they're there, running the activation .cab in the map folder didn't work either.
Will probably just have to wait for TomTom to updated Home and add the HD2 to the supported devices list.

Reply to kollege82
Mmm... I'm sorry, but I don't know why it's not working for you. It could be a language issue, as it is working on my English Windows 7 Home Premium PC. I was using an older version of TT Home when I followed the file swapping instruction, so it may be a TT Home Version Issue.
Reply to LeiChat
Even though the guide explains the process of downloading the initial maps for your device, it does show a solution to getting the HD2 to talk to TomTom Home. I'll try this on another PC, and report back here.
P/S: I have just tried this solution on a newer version of TomTom Home, and it doesn't seem to work anymore... I guess we will need to wait for TomTom then... Sorry for getting your hopes up high...

The mentioned fix of Noiz was actually a fix made bij pmuschi and was not a fix for connection issues indeed.
I tried to make my own fix for the latest TomTom Home using his method:
Modify the file "\content\logic\model\ttNavItem.js" (in the jar) so that the functions canInstallOn() and canUseOnThisDevice() both return zero

This will not give the error mentioned by kollege82 in #8, but it still doesn't fix the connection issue

Hi @ all,
I get a connection to TomTom Home - but only with an older Version:
I have TomTom Home Version 1.5 on my PC, and the HD2 will be recognized.
I also have the newest (?) TomTom Home version 2.7, but this version does not recognize my HD2.
I had this problem already a long time ago with another device, that's why I never deleted the old Version 1.5.
Perhaps the new TomTom Home version only works if the storage card is connected directly to the computer?

That's strange... It seemed to work fine for me, allowed my device to connect and sync with TT Home. In my opinion, I think it's because of the newer TomTom Home Versions that may be causing this problem, like what 'Jolig' has said.

Hi @ all,
I get a connection to TomTom Home - but only with an older Version:
I have TomTom Home Version 1.5 on my PC, and the HD2 will be recognized.
I also have the newest (?) TomTom Home version 2.7, but this version does not recognize my HD2.
I had this problem already a long time ago with another device, that's why I never deleted the old Version 1.5.
Perhaps the new TomTom Home version only works if the storage card is connected directly to the computer?

Could you please upload version 1.5??
Also, did you try to download mapshare with v1.5 + HD2 ??

Yes, I would greatly appreciate that too!!!!

Hi,
I have uploaded Version 1.5 here:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/pn9flo
But remember, we still have the disatvantage that this "old" Version 1.5 recognizes the Leo, but we will not have as many functions as in the new TT Home versions - this also includes NO Map Share, as far as I know....!
Perhaps someone has a bit time to check if it is possible to connect the Micro-SD directly to the computer - will the newest TT Home Version recognize the Micro SD card as a "TomTom device"?
Furthermore; I don't understand why TomTom sells Navigator 7 and it is not recognized by the latest TT Home Version - I can't figure that this only depends on the HTC Leo?? Has perhaps someone contacted TomTom concerning this issue? Of course I also would like to use the latest TT Home version in order to have Map Share and so on...

I contacted TomTom support and they stated that they were working on a new release of TomTom that supported HD2 and that it hopefully would be released before the end of the year. And they couldn't tell if it was a free upgrade or something you needed to pay extra for.
The also said that it was a mistake that their website listed Touch Diamond 2 og Touch Pro 2 as compatible and that they are working on correcting the list and that was a week ago!!!!!

Just to add my experience with TomTom support.
The lady I spoke to seemed to think the HD and Pro 2 were both supported as per their website.

No timescale was offered for when an official update to "Navigator 7" or "TomTom Home 2" featuring HD2/Leo compatibility would be available.
I'm not really sure how much use getting Home 1.5 linked to an HD2 would be if you've purchased your maps since the launch of Home 2.
I managed to install the suggested black cab file but adding my map file to the device manually just caused TomTom to prompt for authorisation. Although www.ttcode.com still exists I don't have a product ID for my maps in my tomtom.com account so can't get past step one.
When I rang I was hoping the lady might be able to give me that, but as I've just mentioned, since Home 2, it (apparently) doesn't work that way anymore.

No worries, thanks for trying and letting us know.

I too cant get connected with tomtom home but had the same problem with my xperia x1 when it first came out it took a couple of updates of tomtom home before it recognised the x1.
