Does TomTom 5.0 work with WM5 - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

been searching this and many other forums but i still cannot seem to find the answer.
is wm5 only capable of working with tomtom5.21? what about earlier versions? i cannot seem to get them working on mine (version 5.0/5.1).
any idea?

To make Tomtom work on a WM5 Pocket PC you need to use version 5.21

hmmm so it looks like i will need to get newer maps for tomtom coz i hear that older US maps dun work with 5.21 right?

I am sorry I can not Help you on the Information about the USA Maps.
I Hope someone elase can?

Would have thought it would try it what have you got to loose, you can get the update fromm tomtom website for free.

yea but i cant seem to find the updates for the US map on tomtom

Hi,
I don't have a Universal but have delt with this problem with the Blue Angel.
As long as you have version 5.20 you can install the software by inserting your TomTom CD/DVD and cancelling any autorun programs that load.
You then need to download the *ZIP* file from- http://www.tomtom.com/support/index.php?Language=1&query=5.21&FID=3361
Extract the ZIP and copy the setup.exe file to it's own directory, run it and it will load the setup on the CD/DVD with some extra compatability. Everything should install then.
On my Blue Angel I find the "TomTom" icon doesn't appear in my Programs list, although everything is installed. It's just a cause of creating a shortcut to "My Device/Navigator/Tom Tom Navigator"
Also, if that fails, there is another way of doing it...

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...

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

tomtom 5 will not load from disc

Cant see any other person having this problem from my searches and topics here.
I am trying to load tomtom5 from a disc. it is the same one i used in my xda2 but it will not load on my XDA exec.
I have tried to copy to the card and run but that will not work it says not a correct application.
I have 5 and 5.1 update on disc which worked on the xda2.
Neither will load to the Exec
I load the disc to pc select uk then select install but it immediadtely brings up the error message with the send to microsoft option.
Dont understand this as it worked on the xda11.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi
get the 5.2 update from tomtom, install it, copy the voice files from you
v5 cd to tomtom dir in root "/", copy the maps to your mmc.
it worked for me
was the 5+5.1 known to not work then?
I had the same problems
Could not install from cd either whereas had no problems with my xda2-managed to use updat 5.2 but could not activate software via the gprs connection. ihad to get anew activation code from tom tom. this worked. i don't think version 5 is as good as version 3 and i wish i hadn't upgraded as not only are there more errors on the maps but it takes my new xda a lot longer to connect to the gps receiver.we found loads of mistakes when using the new version 5 on the xda2 in the summer when touring tom tom kept taking us to roads whichwere still under construction and couln't be used. we did tell support about this but i don't find them particularly helpful

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

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.

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.
http://www.tomtom.com/products/section.php?ID=898&Section=709&Lid=1&Category=2
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.
