Managed to install tomtom navigator on my TD2 but i think im missing the 7 digit postcode file as im only able to search using the first part of the post code.....ive tried this fix with no luck,
http://www.tomtom.com/support/category.php?ID=1&Language=1&query=postcode&FID=9852
anyone else have this problem? and resolved it?
Which TT do you have installed? 6 or 7?
Can't seem to get 6 working on my Topaz. After instal it keeps giving me a memory access violation message.
Any tips?
i think that map has to be a compatible one as well to work with the full postcode but not sure
you need to have a ZIP folder in the root of where your map is.
eg i have great britain on my sd card so there is a folder called ZIP in the root of the card with 2 files - Great_Britain.Postal (8.4mb) and SETUP.DAT (306b)
can't remember where I got those files, gpsunderground I think

What version of TomTom?
I have just ordered a MicroSD card my my D2 and am looking to install TomTom. What version did you use?
What do you think of TomTom as a sat nav on WM6? I know there are some other funky packages out there such as CoPilot and Navigon, but I'm not sure which is the best. I use a standard TomTom which I quite happy with, but I'm always on the look out for new stuff.
This is my first foray into a WM device, so I'm interested to see what it can do.
Full Postcode Entry on TT6/7
Thought I'd post my solution as I tried others in this post with no luck. I copied the zip folder to: my windows mobile based device/program files/navigator and : my windows mobile based device/storage card.
This does the trick on my HTC P3600. Cheers, Chris.

I have Navigator 7.9 installed (VGA version), and it is running flwlessly. Much better than iGO8 in my opinion...
I now have TomTom 7.9 working in a WM 6.5 ROM. It seems to work much better and you don't need to the audio fix
TT7 / TT6 ZIP Postcode Folder
ZIP File attached. Transfer to main root of storage card
Have tried all of these solutions but no luck with full postcode .
I've tried copied it to the folder with the maps in, the root folder of the sd card, the folder with tomtom installation in it too. No luck at all. Does the map name have to be the same or something :S?

Sorted it

This worked for me on TT 7.9 on Xperia X1 with Pure 6.5 SEX1 ROM.
Postcodes in full! Thanks!
I used this link
http://uk.support.tomtom.com/cgi-bin/tomtom_uk.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=9852&Lid=1
Then took out the 2 GB files from the zip folder, created a file called Zip in the folders (as quoted above), and pasted them into the Zip file.

Hello All,
Recently i have installed tom tom 5 with gb map and voices as well, but for some reason its slows down the magician, i guess the memory does'nt allow
heavy programs. All i want to know, may somehow i can upgrage ram or rom ? OR transfer whole tom tom into my sd card its 1 gb anyway. I copied tom tom cab files and
gb map plus voices in to sd card and run them from there, i thought its gonna be installed in sd but may be it did'nt.
Does anybody came with this experience before please let me know.
Regards .
Thanks

You can do both. There are companies who offer to upgrade RAM from 64MB to 128MB. I had this done by a company in Germany (can't find the link right now), and there are others in other parts of the world.
However, you can also just move TomTom to your SD card, which is quite a bit cheaper
Plan A: It's been a while since I installed TomTom on my Magician, but I really think ActiveSync asked me if I want to install it to the default location. If you chose "no" there, you'll get a list of alternative locations, including the SD card (must be in the PocketPC at that time, of course). Maybe someone can confirm this - then all you'll have to do is to uninstall (from the PocketPC only, not from the PC), then re-install TomTom.
Plan B: If Plan A doesn't work, you can copy the .cab files to your PocketPC. But then, instead of just opening them, get cabinstl (http://www.s-k-tools.com/util.html). Run it once, and tick "associate cabinstl with CAB files". After that, you can just double-tap .cab files as usual, and cabinstl will appear. In the "Path" line, enter a directory on your SD card to extract the cab to it.
Additionally, there are a few other things you can try:
- there is a registry settings that contains the DLL path, i.e. a list of directories Windows Mobile will scan to find DLLs. If you add a directory on your SD card to that, you can move most of the big DLLs (not only TomTom's) to that directory. Use Resco Explorer for moving. If you don't want to da that manually, try MemMaid (http://www.dinarsoft.com), which can do that automatically.
Note: I found that moving Today Screen DLLs may cause problems, so you should leave them where they are.
- your Magician has more memory than you think. Try searching the forum for "Big Storage". This allows you to gain an internal flash area of 27 MB - large enough to install most programs there, which is exactly what I did.
Hope I could help you. My MDAc is as fast as ever, even with TomTom.
Cheers
Daniel

Hi Guys,
I have TOMTOM v5.12 running on my xda mini s, and i have copied all the usa maps from the installation cd to my storage card, but when i try to change map in TOMTOM it cannot find them. It only shows the GB map. Does anyone know about this problem, or a workaround?
Many thanks

In short it means you will have no success with that set up-sorry.
For a NY v566 map you will need to run TTNv5.0. But TTNv5.0 will not work on a WM5 device-com port issue.
You need a newer map & application-TTN5.21 & NY v567 min.
i had the same problem
What i did was to run the Tom Tom setup from the CD and installed the map to a folder on my hard drive, Then copied the folder to my SD card and it worked a treat might be worth a try

Hi folks,
Just got my Ameo, and am thrilled with it, just getting mildly frustrated with TT6. I copied all the files over to the MicroDrive and ran the cabs, installed to Device (also tried Microdrive) and ran TT. However, although the program seems to be working great, it won't see any voices installed. Any ideas? The Voices directory is in the same place as all the other TomTom files i.e. the root directory of the Microdrive. Thanks!
Fin
I found this problem initially - I think I ended up having to reinstall the cab with the voices in to get it working. Mine are now in \MicroDrive2\Voices
Either that, or a complete uninstall/reinstall did the trick.
N.B, I don't have two microdrives, WM5 got a bit confused and I think WM5torage didn't unload itself properly or something like that, and renamed the drive as 2. I've seen it before with SD Cards.
Thanks - on your advice managed to dig out my old copy of TT 4.4 as I knew it had separate cab files for voices. Installed the right one and Jane was happily talking to me again Thanks for the input! Shame it won't pick up all my other voices tho - I don't have a voices cab for TT6.
Fin
Ahh, I use the Auzzie Guy, just wish he used 'Mate' and 'Golar' and 'Barbie' and the like. I think the first "build" I used wasn't complete , but a second "downloaded build" did . Its v6.010 that I'm currently running.
had the same problem...
i found i had the same problem, this is what i did;
1- there is a voices directory on your phones memory, program files, navigator, voices, try copyin them from your microdrive to your phone memory
or
2- when you go to the voices section in the tomtom application, when it asks to 'only show english voices' select no.
my john cleese and yoda voices now appear, hope this helps.
TT
There are two type of installations.
1. Tou have the SD card installation version and
2. You have the PC installation version.
From TT 6 and upwards the PC installation version is disapearing. This version needed to see the voice files properly installaed. It used the registry to find the files. For this version you need to install the voice cabs form the source disks.
The SD card version looks at your storage card and searches for the voices directory. When this directory is there and you cannot see te voice files, delete the collected.ini file. When you start up TT again it will search for voice files.
Still there is a possibility you cannot see them. I had this probem because I have an miniSD card in my devices. I noticed that TT had made several directories on the card including the voices directory with the file collected.ini. Throwing away the TT directories on my miniSD card solved my problem.

My microdrive has also ended up as MicroDrive2, stopping all my programs I installed on the Microdrive working.
I have never used WM5Storage.
Its a tad annoying as I guess all I can do is reinstall all my programs again.

I don't think you need to reinstall your programs. Try doing a soft reset. I have encountered the Microdrive2 thing before (but not because of WM5Storage), and a soft reset restored everything back to normal.
Looks like something created a folder called MicroDrive on my main storage (its got mail inbox folder in it), and hence the real MicroDrive got renamed to MicroDrive2.
I wonder if real MicroDrive stopped working for a little while and hence device automatically created a new MicroDrive folder on main storage.
Soft resets did not fix it, however renaming the MicroDrive folder to something else, on main storage, and then a soft reset, and real MicroDrive got renamed back to normal.
Will post if it happens again, but at least have found a simple way to fix it if it happens again.
I believe you have enabled the Messaging plugin in your Today screen? That is the most likely culprit, based on my past experiences.
That makes sense, I disabled message plugin to take some screen shots, and then re-enabled it.
Reading on TomTom I remember running across an article that recommended deleting some INI file for TomTom which would cause TomTom to rescan for voices. This was a common problem. I think it's on the TomTom support site. I can't really remember where I read it though.
I had this problem.
Ensure TT is closed
Move the VOICES folder and ZIP (if you have the 7 digit postal code) from the route of the SD card to \program files\navigator and restart.
Problem solved.
---
If you want to keep the files on the SD card (which is slower) then delete the collected.ini file at \program files\navigator\voices , and also the voices folder from there, and it will re-search for them, hopefully finding them on the SD card
Is there a hawaii map for tomtom6???
I got one for 5, but can't get it to work on the 6...
also, there is no hawaii map for download off the site when you can download your first map.
Tomtom and voice
Hi
To solve this problem follow this steps
explore the device's staorage area where you copied the Tomtom (whether Microdrive or Mini Sdcard)
Inside there you will see the Tomtom folder and the map folders.
open the Tomtom folder and cut the Voice folder and Paste on to the same drive's Root.
Eg: Device/microdrive or Device/storagecard
Do the same for the Zip folder which is also inside the tomtom folder.
Basically Tomtom only looking for the voice and zip files from root of the Storage card, Microdrive and my documents folder of the Device.
You have to choose where to put it.
Good luck guys
Hi everyone.
Please can you help me to install tomtom 7 on my HD/Blackstone. This is my first PDA/phone like this , and I am kinda struggling.
I have downloaded the Tomtom 7.910.9185, with maps of western europe 1gb.815.2024
The package I downloaded had 3 versions of tomtom7 compressed.
QVGA black, QVGA blue, VGA black.
I am now lost, I have read about cab files, sending to the root file of the storage card, but I cant figure this out.
Is there an idiots guide, (I am a total newb and Idiot) showing how to do this. Maybe one of you guys has a webpage or thread with it all easily put down.
Your help would be most appreciated please.

Cause i've installed QVGA , it's full screen and looks nice but hte POI icons are little.
Or maybe that just tomtom 7
Hi,
I don't know if you already found how to do this but i will try to give you a simple guide:
1. copy the file VGA black.cab to your SD card root.
2. click on the file once (a .cab file can be compared to a .exe file on a pc)
3. After install, copy your map western europe 1gb.815.2024 to the root of your SD-card. Make sure that when you open the folder of the map, you should see files and not another map otherwise it won't work!
This should get you up and running tomtom 7.
POIs are small 'cause the TT version available run quite correctly on HD, but IT'S NOT the right version for HD, simply it doesn't already exists
Thanks,
Have managed to get the program to install, but no hope with the maps.. Keeps saying they aint activated..

Tomtom navigation - where to install maps
Hi all,
I'm spend a lot of time on many forums to find how to propp install Tomtom navigation (I'm using Tomtom 7).
Installing a Tomtom program is so simple but the maps thats another storry.
All informations what I'm found was telling you need to create a folder "maps" in root of the memory card and than copy all files from your PC folder of actual map there. That information is OK just if you want to use a single map.
Problem is if you want use more maps than one.Yo just simple can't coppy contens of two or more maps into the same forder.Or if you try to copy whole folders with maps into yours "maps"folder on your card the Tomtom not see that.
So what to do ???It's really simple.
1. You do not need to create the "maps" folder
2. All what you need to do is copy whole maps folders into the
" My Documents " folder on your storage card (not on" My Device " memory !!! )
Its work perfect,I'm use more than 3 maps (UK+IR, Western+Central EU, Eastern EU,...)
So maybe this info help some people whos need more maps.
Richard
I purchased the map from TOMTOM website, but when I tried to install it using tomtom home, it doesn't allow me to download

Hi stevenyu24, vidamusic et al with TT7 issues. Suggest you read through the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432410&highlight=TomTom and pay special attention to bmcconalogue post. All your problems should be solved there.
Best regards,
Just for you guys,
I have Tomtom Home 2.6 installed on my macbook and I can get MapShare working free with my TomTom navigator 7 installed on my Touch HD.
Just connect it as a Disk Device then when TomTom asks which device to use, choose the one on the Storage Card (the map is on the storage card and the app is on the internal storage)
Then, you will get free maps' correction !
i have iGo 8 on WinMo and it works fine but when i install it on Android i get a "Please insert your SD card containing iGo 8 content files." is this because the path to the SD card is "/mnt/sdcard/..."? Is there a fix for this yet? or Do we have to wait till NAND? Thanks for all your help
Maybe because igo8 was designed for windows mobile and not android duh. Try igo motonav or igo my way. Dont ask me where to get them. I just know those are made for android. You can just transfer you maps, poi, etc over to the new one.
The problem with iGO for Android is that it is ONLY for HVGA screens yet! no WVGA support for now! The only workaround is to use Motonav which is a redesined iGO for the Motorola phones and WVGA res!
maybe you have license issue with the iGo
only Motonav support WVGA
iGO8 work me, you must have iGO8 folder on the SD card, but it has no 800x600 screen support, so you will see only small screen. Like someone wrote already, MotoNav works great but has very simple UI without special function.
You need to rename the folder "iGo My Way" to
"iGo".
It will work afterwards, though only 1/4 of the screen will be captured, because there are not 800x480 images out there. When I'm driving car, I use WinMob
The best from both WinMob and Android! Hahaha

You do not need 2 copy's.... let me explain:
Igor for windows has some files in different format e.g. zip.
Ally have to do is copy allthe files that ARE different from android to the same locations as the original. Do not delete existing from either install. Map is shared, poi is shared...
Coals, it all works in both.

hmmm, not sure how can i use shared folder, as android needs folder called igo, and WM needs folder called igo8. with all subfolders needed in those.
so not really see how can .. for example /content/maps be shared in
/storage card/igo & /storage card/igo8
but never mind, as i said .. MY problem is solved and i have working igo.

Hi,
I followed your instruction from moving the windows IGO8 folder to the root of the sd card and renamed it as IGO (/mnt/sdcard/igo). When I launch IGO (installed IGOMyWay 8.4.2........apk), I have an error message: Missing or incomplete folder: IGO/content/lang
I have checked that the folder IGO/content/lang exists and I have two zip files in the "lang" folder. What did I miss?
