Tytn and Tomtom

Anyone managed to get tomtom installed and running, if so how did you do it, i want to install it on my storage card only
Thanks
Chris

I did nothing special, just follow the installer instructions. Which problem do you have?

It wont install on the sd card doesnt even ask then bombs out, did you install from an sd card or a cd rom and then it doesnt find the maps

I installed from cdrom and manually moved the map folders to miniSD card.

Hi,
Go to the TomTom site and download the latest update, then you can install it on the Storage Card....
You have to have legal version....

Thanks guys its all sorted, needed currentmap.dat in my docs works fine now
thanks for the pointers
Chris

TomTom
Which version of TomTom do I need to purchase for my TyTn? I live in the US.

I am using 5.21, but with spanish maps. Don't know for the US, sorry.

Thats ok. Thanks for the reply. Are you talking about TomTom Mobile or TomTom Navigation?

TomTom Navigator 5.21, that's what I'm using.

TomTom 6 work for me with North America or USA/Canada maps. I think I am currently on TT 6.201 and map Usa and Canada v 675.1409. Support told me that TT 6 would not work on Windows Mobile 6, but its works for me so far....

i got tomtom 6.03 with aussie maps 675,
works brilliantly except for the POI freezing glitch.
the 675 maps has speeds certain roads which is a nice feature providing they dont change the speed limit on the roads it has mapped LOL

Slow startup
I installed Tomtom 5.21 to main memory, map to Storage card.
But it takes a very long time for the app to start, over 1 minute.
I am running official Dopod WM6.
Anybody else duffer from slow startup and any ideas as to what can be done to improve it?

The latest and most suitable TomTom for Kaiser?

I am soon to buy TomTom for my pocket PC. I was wondering if you knew if the Tom Tom CD is the best software format for my TyTN II. I was also wondering which TomTom software is the latest and most suitable software for my HTC TyTNII.
Here are the links from Amazon.co.uk:
This one is TomTom 1T90.010 Navigator 6 Software & Maps Of Western Europe On DVD: cost is £87.99
http://www.amazon.co.uk/TomTom-1T90-010-Na...6763&sr=8-1
This one is TT NAVIGATOR 6 SOFTWARE + MAPWESTERN EUROPE DVD IN: cost is £84.14
http://www.amazon.co.uk/NAVIGATOR-SOFTWARE...6763&sr=8-1
I've also browsed the Tom Tom website. Here are the links for the TomTom software for pocketpc's
http://www.tomtom.com/products/category.php?ID=2&Lid=1
Is there a difference, and which is the latest TomTom version?

I believe the latest Official release for PPC is Tomtom version 6.03.8320 although there was a version 6.032.8351 which was distributed with HTC P3600i phones. Make sure that you get as a minimum version 6.030.8320 as it is faster...more stable and recognises the built-in GPS. Of the earlier versions only version 6.00 and 6.01 were official releases...6.1 and 6.2 were not "Official" release.

I bought TomTom6 a week ago from www.gpscanada.com and my version is 6.01, paid 145.00 + 10.00 CAD for shipping. I have a tilt and GPS works perfect

Cool. Now on the query is where I can find the 6.03.8320 or the later 6.032.8351. I've tried googling for it but to little avail.
I've browsed the Tom Tom website in the PDA/pocket pc section and still can't find it.

Thanks. I prefer to purchase the latest though. I also need the maps for the UK. By the way, I take it you bought the DVD version?

Hi all. Update:
I've just got off the phone with a TomTom adviser from TomTom company (www.tomtom.com). They have told me the following.
I was told by by the advisor that I have to create account with TomTom. I then have to select navigator 6 model on the website and select the map types I want to purchase.
They told me that the latest updated maps for the UK cost £29.95 and maps for western europe cost £39.95.
I signed up with them and gave them email. Here is what they sent me by email:
Thank you for contacting TomTom Customer Support.

I was also told that I can update my maps daily with a function called 'mapshare'. This tool allows users to download the latest maps from other users.
I was also told that the maximum memory card size I can use to put my maps on is 2 GB. I was told if I was to purchase an 8GB memory card, that I won't be able to put the maps on there, and that I would have to switch memory cards to access the maps if I was using an 8GB memory card

I was also told that I can update my maps daily with a function called 'mapshare'. This tool allows users to download the latest maps from other users.
Just so you are aware..."mapshare" only works with the Tomtom 7 series maps (and only certain ones) and 7 series software which is for Tomtom devices such as One XL, 910 etc.
It will not work for PPC devices.
Also....version 6.01 will certainly work well on the Kaiser, but 6.03 and 6.032 are later versions...more stable...faster etc. the only downside is that there is a known bug which starts TT in muted mode (no sound) if you have a data session going when you start the TT application. Version 6.01 does not do this.
You should find that when you buy 6.01 you will be able to download software updates from the TT home log in.

Yes I bought the DVD. I do not think that only 2 GB cards can be used as I have installed mine on a 6 GB card and working fine. Also, I just received an email from TomTom stating that version 6 is the latest and there are no upgrades to it

Thanks for that info about Mapshare. It seems the info you’re given by TomTom varies according to the advisor you speak to.
I assume that the maps I will be given is the latest 6.03 or 6.032 as I was told that the TomTom website only has the latest software on their website. Moreover, I was even told that TomTom 5 for pocket pc is no longer available from their website...

Thanks. Having two memory cards, one for TomTom and an 8GB memory card for other stuff does seem inconvenient.
I do find it odd that some with the TyTN II are claiming to have bought the Minisd version of TomTom even though Minisd cards cannot fit in the TyTNII....

Okay. I do notice that there is sometimes a lack of knowledge of Pocket pc products from the advisors.
The threads also helped. I never realised the topic had already been started in the ‘kaiser’ subtitle section

That should be correct. I used TomTom Navigator 5 on my old HP iPAQ hw6515, and when I wanted to upgrade my maps last year I was told that new maps were not available, but I could upgrade to TomTom Navigator 6 for $50. I took the upgrade deal, and I am currently running TomTom Navigator 6.010 on my HTC Tilt with a 4gb storage card. I can put the entire North American map on it and I can go anywhere in the US or Canada without switching maps.
Even if you could find TomTom 5 on Ebay, or elsewhere TomTom has stopped supporting it and there will not be any new maps available.

I previously had my tomtom and maps installed on a 2gb card for my PPC, but i got USA and Canada maps also as i travel there sometimes and tomtom can be quite handy. So as i have UK, france, spain, italy, portugal, germany maps (which i use alot) the USA and Canada wouldnt fit. Got an 8GB card, used the included card reaser to copy all my stuff and it works as well as before. So you can use an 8GB card on PPC for tomtom app and maps

Can't install new maps 7.25 on Cruise

Hello everybody,
first of all, this is not a post about warez, since I am talking about new western europe map v. 7.25 I have just bought from tomtom.com.
Well, before I had installed on my Cruise tomtom navigator 7 that I got from this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401679), and everything seemed to work fine: I could download the free test map, and also free voices. Then I wanted to buy and install the new western europe (v. 7.25) map, that is available from a few days on tomtom.com. To this purpose I created an account, registerd my device as a TomTom navigator 7 one, and then went to map shop and bought the map. Then I downloaded and installed tomtom home 2.3, and I tried to install the map on my device using it, I can see the map I bought but I am getting an error message that says that the map is not compatible with my device.
Can anybody help me?

Sorry for error!

Remember no warez here, edit your post.

Have you tried copying the card to your sd card? Just to the root folder?
As far as I know there might be still a problem with activating the card.

I cannot just download the map, the only way tomtom allows you to download it is using tomtom home, which says that my device is not compatible, so I have nothing to copy anywhere..

I don't know but is there a update or new version to make Tomtom, Tomtom 7.25?

Hey mate, sorry to hear that you have problems. I would like to know if there is a way to get this working myself before I buy a ver7 map myself.
I know there has been someone else getting this to work in this forum. Maybe you an set the device to something else for the SD Card in TomTom Home. If it doesn't work while the card is in the phone maybe try it in a card reader. Think that should work. Let me know if you have success
Cheers

I'm running TomTom 7.450 on my Polaris, and I'm using the Map of Norway,
Finland, Sweden and Denmark v7.20 without problems. The maps need to be purchased and installed via TomTom Home 2 (Set your device av TomTom 720).

These maps are not anymore available for TomTom 720, at least in Italian site now if you register as 720 you can only buy 8.10 maps that are not compatible with tomtom7, at least to my knowledge. If you register as a tomtom 7 device, as for example a vodafone touch diamond, you can buy 7.25 maps, as I have done, but then you get the "impossible to install on this device" error if you try to download them.

may be it is not for One
Not completely sure but maps for One devices are not always compatile with normal PPC tomtom version.
I had this kind of problem with Tomtom 6 - bought maps for tomtom 6 One and those were incompatible.
After talking to Tomtom support they changed my subscription.
Unfortunately I never used tomtomv7 but instead got iGo8.

[REQ] Are there ANY software options for using GPS navigation in the US???

Hi all -
Is there ANY legitimate (non-warez) software for the Diamond that has US maps?
Tomtom - Version 6 doesn't list Diamond as a supported device, not sure it does VGA resolution, Version 7 there's no legitimate source for US maps.
iGo - no US maps
CoPilot - no US maps
Route 66 - seems to require an SD card
Garmin Mobile - requires SD card
Ostia - requires SD card
I just want to legitimately use my Diamond for navigation, but having a hard time finding any options. I've searched through the forums, but had no luck.
Thanks in advance!

you sure about that? i have them on my tomtom7 and they work perfect (aside from missing some new construction)

My Diamond came with Route66 on a DVD. However I needed to contact the supportdesk since i couldn't install it using the standard setup. They emailed me how to install it without using the setup.exe; search this forum or google and you find instructions how to install route66 on your diamond.

...you're going to seed SD though...

Why don't you just copy the contents of the SD card's maps to your phone's Internal Storage? That's what I did and I've been able to use both TomTom and now OnCourse Navigator (iGO) 8.

Hi Ewans -
Thanks for your reply. I had a couple questions if you dont mind:
I have Tomtom 6 on my old P3600. I'm guessing you purchased a Version 6 DVD and used that to load up your Diamond.
- Does TomTom 6 support the Diamond's VGA resolution?
- When you loaded it on your device, did the TomTom Home software recognize your device? If not, did you have to select a device from a list and which device did you select?
- I'm pretty sure TomTom stopped supporting the Ver. 6 maps. It's a bummer but I can live with it. Can you confirm your experiece / have you been able to update your maps?
Thanks!!!!

Hi ND -
Is OnCourse a part of iGo? The reason I ask is because the OnCourse site lists US maps, but the software is apparently only capable of 320 x 240 (QVGA) resolution, while I think iGo 8 is capable of full 640 x 480 (VGA). If I could use the iGo 8 with the OnCourse US maps, that would be a good solution.
Were there any issues with just copying the SD data to your device? Others such as Garmin have required all sorts of finagling to get them to work such as keygens and such, and I really want to avoid any of that.
Thanks!

Just to add another older version, I run TomTom 5 on my Diamond in the USA with no problems at all.

You can definitely get US maps for iGo (i'm running it), but I'm not sure of the legality of it, so it's probably best not to discuss it here.

Hi Nomer -
I like the Garmin software, especially since it has nautical maps available. However, I read elsewhere that the SD card version can't be used with our phones because there is an internal code that prevents their software from being used without the SD. Since I don't want any keygen or other cracks, I don't think this is an option. Anything I do I want to have be fuloly supported by the company and their service department.

Yeah, OnCourse is the name for iGo in the United States. You can use the maps from one for the other since it is the same. For copying the contents, the only problem I ran into was that it couldn't find the directory where the maps are located. To overcome that, you'll need to do a search of the Diamond thread, but the most important thing is to change a certain config file so that it reads from the Internal Storage instead of SD.
Good luck!

My version of TT6 was on an SD card. I just changed the communication mode on the TD from Activsync to USB and connected it to the PC. Then put SD card in card reader and copied all files over. When I unplugged the USB lead TT automatically started to instal (that got me panicing a bit!). Went through normal installation, got correct code from TTcodes and it installed and automically found the internal receiver.
No new version 6 maps coming out, but plenty of old ones still for sale from TT - I bought one for Southern Africa a few weeks ago and could not find any errors in it when I used it when driving around Western Cape province on holiday.
TT6 works fine with the VGA screen - but everything is smaller - I find I now use 3D view rather than 2D I used to as that comes up bigger (as it does on all screens)
Another poster here today says when he installed TT Home 2.5 and plugged in his TD it automatically offered him a free copy of TT7.9 along with demo map. Still have to buy version 7 maps but they are more up to date than version 6 - although there have been lots of reports of them still not showing changes in roads.

Navigon Mobile Navigator 5 works on the Diamond and European and US maps are available. I believe it must be the same for MN6 and 7.

Landshark - at the moment TT are not listing any maps for US or Canada for TTN7 - presumably because no legal version of that is available there. Strangely they do list maps for Mexico and Brazil!
In reality the price quoted for those (presumably Version 6) maps seems expensive - you can download US & Canada maps (version 6.75) direct from TT website for $70.

Has anyone gotten TomTom to work on this device yet?

I just got the T-Mobile USA version of the TP2. Here's my issue:
Ok, I have legal maps and software from when I purchased TT6 that I used with my P3300. I tried to use the same TT6 program on the TP2, but it screwed up my BT stack and it wouldn't run anyway. So I downloaded two different versions of TT7 (7.450 & 7.910) that will run, but neither of them can find my US & Canada maps. Is there a way to use TT7 with TT6 maps or is there another version of TT6 that will work with the TP2?
I also went to the TomTom website to see if I could buy new maps. They don't even give you an option to buy it if your phone didn't come preinstalled with TomTom. SUCKS!

TomTom 7.915 installed and working fine here with Western European maps.

Thanx for all the info guys. I'll def use it in the future, but I was able to get US & Canada maps, vers 660 recognizable with TT7.450 by changing the vers#, build#, and ID#. I also had to reregister my maps using my product code. I didn't have any problems after that.
FYI, I could not get some versions of TT7.910 to install as a CAB. Those had to be unbacked first. I did get TT7.450 to install with no problems, but I had to:
1) install it to the SD card first
2) hard reset my device (because the install screws up your BT stack on TP2)
3) then make my short cuts from the storage card
Now all is working fine. I just don't get update features and the better looking maps.

TomTom 7 indeed seems to mess up your BT stack. However removing the dlls it adds on installation fixes this issue, a hard reset is not necessary (I know this won't help you anymore, but it might benefit the next guy )
I've been using TT7 for a while now, it works perfectly and so does my bluetooth.
The files you need to remove/rename are:
\Windows\BtSdkCE30.dll
\Windows\BtCoreIf.dll
There, my first post. I'm new but I quite like this place already.

I just got the T-Mobile USA version of the TP2. Here's my issue:
Ok, I have legal maps and software from when I purchased TT6 that I used with my P3300. I tried to use the same TT6 program on the TP2, but it screwed up my BT stack and it wouldn't run anyway. So I downloaded two different versions of TT7 (7.450 & 7.910) that will run, but neither of them can find my US & Canada maps. Is there a way to use TT7 with TT6 maps or is there another version of TT6 that will work with the TP2?
I also went to the TomTom website to see if I could buy new maps. They don't even give you an option to buy it if your phone didn't come preinstalled with TomTom. SUCKS!

I could never find those dll files, so I just hard reset it.
Nice first post.

You should have a "voices" folder on the root of your storage card. If you can connect to TomTom Home on your desktop, you can down load them to your phone. Or you can find them on the net. They're not hard to come by. But you should check to see if your voices folder is on your storage card somewhere.

error, sorry

Were you able to copy the Garmin maps to another storage card or did you have to keep it on the storage card that came with the software? I was looking at buying the Garmin software but that uncertainty made me hesitant.

Ow yes, you'd need something like Total Commander to view/remove .dll files in the /Windows directory. Neither the default WM Explorer or the W7 explorer when USB-linked could do that here.

TT7 works fine here, just some GPS lag and hardware keyboard adds some weird 'a' character after each normal character.
Had BT troubles with some older version, downloaded the latest I could find and had no troubles at all.

No luck connecting with home, and i do have the voices folder in the root of the mem card. I also tried placing the voices folder on the device in the navigator folder... still no luck, but thanks for the help

Got TomTom 7.915 working fine on TP2, with no issues with BT. Australian and US/Canada maps installed. Installed onto device, with maps on SD card. With voice working.

i have tt7 working for me, here is what I did.
installed tt7 to my sd card then hard reset (because i have all sorts of problems with the bluetooth)
copy my voices files to sd card\program files\navigator\voices
my maps are in the root of the sd card
then use total commander to create a short cut to the program.
I havent had anymore problems at all and it works first time I have flashed my phone 6 times so far and I dont have to reinstall it.
I hope this helps someone here

I read the issues with TT7 so tried to do Garmin XT - City Navigator 2010.10 install. I have it working successfully with Voice, Traffic and Fuel prices.
BTW, I am newbie unlike most people here
