my friend has lent me his TomTom 5 to try as my girlfriend travels a lot on business and she wants to give it a try before we buy it. When we try and install it to her XDA2i, the install goes great and the Today screen bar appears. The program launches and allows us to pick a voice and the units odf measurement etc but then says "No Maps Found" even though the map is installed?
Anyone had a similar problem?
hello
I found this problem too! I found that by re-installing the whole lot it solved this for a while though to combate this the best way is to install it all in one place ie the SD card.
When using the XDA IIi you may find it crashes while driving this can be solved by placing the phone into flight mode.
There is another way to direct tomtom but you should search for that as it is on here somewhere.
The postcode section file named zip should be placed in "my documents"
I tried it on mine also - no luck. then i realised i was an idiot. Id copied the files accross intoa folder called TT5 and therefore tomtom couldnt see the map. copied the map to root and it works now

Help,!
Have installed TT5 onto Qtek9100 and prior to installing map it starts up, you get the licence agreement then it says no map.Once map is installed, you get agreement screen again but when you hit agree, it sticks on the agreement page and doesn't go any further. Likewise, if you start it without memory card it gets to the page stating no maps,reinstall card, select download a map then cancel, it sees Great Britain map ok. But when you click on the map it then sticks there. You can escape from the app and kill app ,so it doesn't crash handset. Tried Card in my SPVM1000 (with Mini SD adapter) and maps work fine.
Anybody any ideas??
use the forum search and read the answers about currentmap.dat
I was suffering with the similar problem, TT5 seems working but extremely slow, then stuck with the map.......................................................
I hard reset the handset, and install TT5 again without using autorun but the cab files directly, n it works fine now...
Thanks for your help guys, found the thread relating to currentmap.dat and it sorted it.
thanks again

follow this guide exactly, worked for me and i had the same problem, means ur gonna have to unistall first.
This might be the least of some people problems, buth has anyone got the 7 digit postcodes to work yet on Tom Tom5.21? Was fine on XDA2. I tried copying files to various zip directories as described on the TomTom web site but to no avail.
Geoff
Do you have an empty folder on your Storage card called "Tomtom". If not add one and try again.

TT 5.21
I bought TT5 with Western Europe maps. I wanted to run that with a GlobalSat BT338 receiver. Installation was a nightmare but I finally managed. When I got to activating maps it failed even though I obtained an activation code. Got in touch with TT support. After a few email exchanges I received a note that my order had been cancelled. However, they had charged my credit card for over 200 euros!!! :twisted:
No more contact from them since then and I am stuck with a non-functional product!! I might sue.
Have since got OCN5. Installlation worked like a charm. Including map activation all was done in less than an hour. Navigation works perfectly!
Way to go OnCourse!!
Conclusion: If you are planning to get TT5.21 for your QTEK9000/I-mat etc. my recommenation is DO NOT!!!
Sorry for the rant.
GREAT FORUM!
TomTom 5.21 on XDA EXEC postcode problem
I have a legit copy of TomTom. I have tried creating various directories both full and empty on the device and on the storage card, but it still refuses to recognize 7 digit postcodes. If TomTom support get back to me with a fix that works I'll post it here.
Geoff
don't know what you guys are doing but 5.21 works fine on my xda exec.... I was even more chufed to find that the some key on te keyboard can act as shortcuts ... like pressing "c" switches between day mode an night mode etc.
I done nothing special... just took my sd card from my old ipaq 4700 that already had the maps etc. put it in de xda and instaled 5.21 straight on (Instaled to card memory)... the only draw back was that it would not stick to the voices folder in the sd since I had to select a voice every time tomtom was turned on (tomtom would see the voices on the sd but would not memorize the one I chose on the next startup).... this I fixed by downloading a voice straight from within tomtom.
br
Literally got this working myself today!
The fix on the tomtom website says to copy the zip folder containing the post code file to main memory and it will work - well I created a folder called 'zip' on my sdcard and copied the postal code file to that, then also created an empty folder on my sdcard called 'TomTom' - it worked perfectly then!
Stange my legit copies all work and guess what so does my duff copy never had to do anything just install and away.
The official reply from TomTom support is the XDA Exec is NOT compatible although they are working on it. Did everything to try to get 7 digit postcodes to work, but to no avail. Everything else within TomTom is working fine so it's not critical. Now, how do you make your own voice files??!!
Geoff
Geoff, Exactly where are you trying to enter the postcode? - this might seem a stupid question, but if you are putting the postcode into the Navigate to address screen you won't get 7 digit, you need to tap the rh arrow go to the next page and select enter postcode, then if the empty tomtom folder and the zip folder (containing the GB post code file) are all in place it should work. For some voices etc. have a look at www.tomtomsatnav.info there is useful stuff utilities/ voices/ warnings etc. - Mike
Working fine on my Exec. You need the postcode data in a folder called 'zip' in the root of the storage card and another empty folder entitled 'TomTom' in the storage card root.
Questions for those with TomTom successfully on a Wizard....
1. How? The CDs won't load! The application CD blows up immediately when you run the setup application - it never even attempts to talk to ActiveSync. Can't load the code this way!
2. The first Map CD fails also with an "premature end of JPEG file" error message (WTF?!) If I use the SECOND Map CD, I can load maps. Kinda. They will load to my PC (tell it I have a "Go", then when it errors out tell it to load to a directory) which I think I can then copy over. Maybe.....
3. Having seen someone else's setup, I'm wondering something - can you plan a route that spans more than one map? It didn't look like it! That sucks SEVERELY for long trips.....
Thanks in advance....
Can't help on 1 & 2, but I have heard of people getting bad CD's and getting them replaced by TomTOm fixes their issues. I've been fortunate to get everything working perfectly the first time.
To answer #3, yes you can plan a route that spans several states. You need to either load one of the regional maps or the 'Major Roads and Highways' map.

I've opened a ticket with them - I've heard their support is legendarily BAD (as in no replies at all in some cases), so we'll see. If I have two bad CDs, then if they replace them all's well.
But right now what I have is a worthless piece of software that cost me $150 - and I am NOT happy about that..... I guess the only good point is that I can't even activate it, so if its a Wizard incompatability probelm I can stick it on eBAY and the code is still good....
Here's the part of the solution....
Wizard = WM5.
You can't use the default loader on the CDs to install the program to a WM5 device.
Solution. Go to TomTom's website. Go to support and download the latest patch (version 5.21). Here's a link that sure work:
http://www.tomtom.com/support/solution.php?GID=3&PID=188&SID=198&CID=0&Language=1&FID=3361
Run the program on your PC (not your wizard) and install on your wizard once you've established an ActiveSync Connection.
Now. You'll need to get a voice file off the CD. Put in the first disk (i.e Disk number 1) and look for a directory called voice (I think). An easier way may be to search the CD for a file named USAM.cab. This is the voice for "Richard". You can experiment with different voices later. Copy this file to your PPC (i.e. right-click on the file, click "copy", then right-click on the activesync icon (while connected)-> click "explore". Find the directory you want to paste it to (it doesn't really matter) and right click and click "paste".) Now the file is on your PPC.
From your PPC File Explorer (not windows), click on the USAM.cab to install the file. We're almost finished.
Now simply install the map that you want.
No you can't navigate between regions; however, if you select the "Other Map" you see a couple of national maps.
had the same problem like Genesis3 first.
In my case it was insufficient memory on my SD card.
After inserting a 1GB card everything went ok.
Seems like TT5 checks available memory and quits without any error message if memory is'nt enough.
In my experience TT5 would not instal over activesync on WM5, but can be installed manually, and will run perfectly OK except for not being able to find a BT GPS receiver (not sure about wired GPS as I haven't tried it).
See the details I posted about 10 from the top in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43412&highlight=
To use the BT receiver you will need the TT V5.21 upgrade.
I have a 1G SD card in my Wizard; its half-full with "stuff", but 512MB sure ought to be plenty I'd think!
You can't just run the update from their website, it is a patch, not the full install.
"This update can ONLY be used when you have already installed a registered version of TomTom NAVIGATOR 5 on your Pocket PC/Palm OS device."
As far as support - call, don't mess with submitting a ticket. They are actually really good.
I beg to differ....
ryanc2,
You previous post is simply incorrect. I've download the patch, installed it on my JasJar and had no problems. You HAVE to install the voice from the original TT CDs or else you'll never get past the "Start -Up Wizard" in TT.
You will need to enter your activation code (you get from www.ttcode.com) during the start up process.
Also, I've installed v.5.21 and have used my BT receiver with no problems. My guess is that the people who are having problems with this do not have their BT GPS configured properly or they're running a cracked version (don't read into anything. I'm not accusing anyone! I'm just telling what I've found).
BTW, I've found installing TT maps via an external card reader (i.e. pop the card out of your wizard and plug it directly into your computer via card read) is the fastest and easier way to copy maps.

Just simply stating what is posted on their website - I wouldn't know as I upgraded from a previous install of 5. Thanks for clarifying.
Hi all - great forum. Hoping to be around for good while soaking it all up.
I'm a new owner of an SPVM5000. Loving it with Opera and running it on WiFi with Terminal Services.
Proper happy with it - but, I want to get TomTom working on it.
I've downloaded all manner of pirate copies/maps etc, simply because I don't know if it works and wanted to try it first - and more specifically, know which version to buy..
I mean, once I know what works, I'll go and buy the thing from somewhere but, as yet, I can't get it working. Am I missing something glaringly obvious? I keep getting a "No Maps Found" error.
Anyway, Google tells me this is doable and I'm not looking for piracy tips, just a nod as to what version will work and perhaps the cheapest place to get it from if there's anywhere else than TomTom's naff site.
Ideally, I'd love to chuck some credit card details somewhere and get a legit download for it that I can put onto the SD card and away we go, but I think I might be pushing it - it's all boxed goods I think?
Any help for one of your older members, I'd be very grateful.
Cheers!
Hello there,
I have Navigator version 6 running very successfully on my SPVM5000.
A couple of things to check.
1. Is your memory card inserted? tomtom needs this, as the maps will be stored on it.
2. The maps are stored in a folder on the root level of the storage card.
The name of the folder depends on what geographical version you have.
Being in the UK my folder is Western_Europe. Inside the folder you are looking for 3 files. cline.dat, cname.dat and cnode.dat. They are the map files. If they are not there you have been given no maps!!
Hope this helps.
Hi - thanks for the reply.
I've followed the guide on here to change the registry for the GPS options and now if you say TT6 works, I can go with that. I had read TT5 is quicker so that's an option too I guess.
Yeah, the maps have the filenames you mention there and they were on the root of the storage card in a folder named Great-Britain-Map
Cheers.
mail me with details, i have the instructions for spv m5000 installation of tomtom
Thanks - I'm up and running now.
Do you still need a GPS BT Reciever with the Universal? Or does it have built in GPS?
I am new to PDA's and all this malarky.,.,
GPS receiver needed mate.

Hey, I do not think you have tried tomtom before on other systems, do you?
Anyway, I used tomtom on S60, Palm OS, WinCE4.0(PNA) and WM(PDA)...
All the versions work through the same way. Try to put map folder to your SD card ROOT directory... You do not need to do something to point the tomtom to the map... Acturally it will link the program to its map automatically. Do not worry about that.
Hint, if it says "not enough memory" again, simply use a card reader and do that on your computer.
For the tutoral, try GOOGLE "gpsunderground", as I am not permitted to put external link here...
Hope that helps...
If you have purchased the software and maps, installation is easy. If you have not paid for the software - well, I hope you find it impossible to install...
