Hi,
I just installed the POI patch and I see some more POI's on the map, but not all.
I have +- 30 POI's in the map directory on my SD card, but they don't appear in the list.
It's strange cause it's always both files : .ov2 & the picture file.
Does anyone had the same problem? Is there a sort of maximum POI's that you can put on a map? And why don't I see the others in the list then so that i can check/uncheck them ?
Thanks guys!
in TT5 there is a limit of 38 POI's AFAIK
TT3 does not have this limit
I asked the same the last week, and it certainly has this limit.
The best i could do was have the poi's that matter the most to me (speed cams, food, petrol, motorway service stations etc) and I put a folder in my Great Britain folder called "Unlisted POI" with all the others in there.
Then at least if im miles away from home i can move poi's around as i need them, not ideal but it's the only thing i can think of, as a folder in the great britain folder with pois is ignored by tomtom.
Hope this helps
Adam
TT5 POI Patch ? What is it for then ?
Oh i thought the TTN POI Patch fixed this problem?
Where is this patch then actually for ???

The patch fixes TTN5 crashing on certain PDA's with any POIs enabled.

Hi,
I'm wondering if you can download an updated POI.dat version somewhere with the latest adresses & points of interest.
Also if it's possible to set the number of poi's higher (with hexadecimal program or something) ? Does anyone know what the limit of poi's on one map is, and how you can set this higher through hexadecimal program or something ?
Thanks!
Keep cool!
You can install POI Edit. With this progam you can update them via internet. :lol:

poi.dat - not poi.edit
no, I mean an updated POI.dat, that's the pre-programmed file in your country map with the poi's & adresses from our country like parkings, restaurants,.... I know POI-edit, but that's not what I meant.
oh ok, i've done that (don't know how exactly). I know where i did get the info from, at least...
look at this: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/archive/index.php/t-53589.html
Hy all,
I was frustrated for some time with the inaccuracies of POI in IGO maps and files. Some are old and nonexistent and so on.
As I know there are 2 places where POIs are located: IGO.db (sqlite3 database) and IGO map itself. If you try to open IGO.db, the content of the POIs table is encripted in some way. Now, I've seen there is at least one software, IGO Poi Explorer which bypases this encryption.
Before I get to hardwork myself, does someone knows how to decrypt the info inside the tables of igo.db?
Also another question, do you have any idea if the POIs inside the map file can be read/edit programatically. The map is a fbl file and to be honest I don't know with what to open
Many thanks guys
Hy, I got to programatically edit the contents of POI in the igo.db, but any idea related to the poi's in the .fbl file?
just use IGO 8
I have tried both on my Sprint Mogul with dcd 3.26 and neither are working right. Both freeze up at the menu screen, whether simple or advanced, the next screen it locks.
I have 23.7M (or so) of free RAM after a soft reset. I've let it sit on that menu for 5 minutes straight, wondering if it were catching up. No good.
I have TomTom7, but I want something with text to speech support.
The first time you run Igo or Oncourse it goes thru your contact list and checks the address on all of them. If you have a very large contact list it could be causing it to act very slow. It only does this once, so after it finishes it won't do it again in the future.
You might also check your config file, I think it's called sys.txt, would have to search to verify, but it lists your com ports. If you have an invalid com port for your GPS it can lock up entirely. Find this file and change it to com 4 baud 4800 and then restart it, should work fine then.
Let me know if that doesn't work. I've started Igo with as little as 8mb free, it ran, tho not very well and crashed shortly afterwards, but with 23mb it should run very well. So I don't think it's a memory issue in your case.

groovy. I'll sys.txt it up and report back.
getting there.... trying different combinations of ... packages ... see what works and what doesnt.
Can you mix OnCourse with iGo?
As far as I know, OnCourse is just a licensed OEM of of Igo, I've heard that the maps, skins, themes, etc all work fine with both.
I personally haven't tried OnCourse because the word I heard was that it's a compressed .exe file which in turns requires more ram to uncompress and then run. There were several looking into uncompressing the exe file and running directly, but have not seen any confirmed threads that someone has it resolved.
BTC
yeah, im avoiding an actual install of oncourse... however, what I have, has some things in it that my igo doesnt have, as well as US poi's which my igo doesnt have. More experimenting tonight.
I too was having an issue with IGO8 not starting properly, I could enter the program but none of the icons would function.....well not really.....I would click settings and about 30 seconds later I would hear the click sound but IGO would stay at that screen and then about 1 minute later it would goto the settings screen.
After doing some research I did find that it was an issue that IGO had with
adding my contacts addresses(I'm guessing that this is a ram issue). Here is what I added to the sys.txt file to stop IGO from trying to add my contacts to its POI DB, disable_outlookpoi=1 needs to be added under [debug]. I'm pretty sure I found a sys.txt config on ppcgeeks in the vouge section.
I cannot get the TTS to work as it appears that our Titans don't have enough ram to allow all of the features of IGO to work.
I have installed DCD latest with a couple of programs installed i.e. MSVC, Oxios, DCD carrier cab(great work DCD, every rom he makes just keeps getting faster and allowing more ram to be utilized) at boot I have about 23-24mb available, when starting IGO and then minimizing IGO I have 1.3-1.4MB free ram. When trying to select the Susan TTS voice it immediately crashes with an out of memory error. I'm also using the full maps of North America, all the building files and the terrain file for USA as well. When I get a chance I'm going to try only my state and my states buildings and see if that frees up any additional ram for TTS.
Good luck
i have noticed that it wont run unless I prime the GPS, even with the [gps] code in the sys.txt

I have found the same thing, I've attached a .zip file that someone created that will give you a shortcut for astroGPS to prime the GPS and also start IGO8. You must have astroGPS installed but it works like a treat.
anyone figure out how to setup tts with any tweaks or removing some default programs for more ram? I installed dcd latest rom with nothing else but igo8 and still get that out of memory :/ Also i have igo running with no terrain and in 2d mode with no luck
So is anyone able to get Text to Speech (TTS) works on Titan?
Hi Everyone,
I have used the search function and haven't come across this yet.
When i install my tom tom software, it installs fine. Yet it installs onto the phone not the 4GB Storage.
Now this came up somewhere else and they said to fill it up and it will ask you to install it on another storage device.
Now this didn't come up I have also tried the other methods of trying to get it so the installation installs onto the phone and copy the files to internal storage and change the location of the icon. (Which I couldn't do). - just wouldn't let me im not retarded
Now my question is this.
I Have my Australia Maps: Australia.815.2086
And Tom Tom: I Have Version 7, not sure exact version number.
Now I cannot get the maps to install on this as it needs 100mb for these maps. As there isn't enough internal storage this cannot be done.
So If anyone could shed some light on this would be good.
If i don't answer here if you are after certain information my email is:
[email protected]
Cheers!

Put the maps on the storage card. The actual navigator app can go on either. Some TomTom cabs that are floating about will only install to main memory... others will give you the option.

Tried this just then with no luck just tells me that there is no maps.
Should my maps be a .cab file ?
**BUMP**
Sorry to bump this but i really would like help
If the maps installed on the internal storage and the program wont see it, your best bet would be contacting tomtom, if you have updated your phones system software and moved to a COOKED ROM then the original phones id number would have changed, when the maps are registered the id is used as part of the key hence the key changing the registered status is also changed from working to non working.
Now tomtom may be nice and give you a new registration for the device or they may say not going to happen. If the program and maps are from some other source like say Pirate Bay then you wont get any help from this forum as its very much frowned upon and posts get deleted that even try to hint at them kind of illegal shenanigans.
Hope you get your self sorted.
Regards

your maps should be a directory, not a .cab file
it has to be copied to the root of the internal storage.

Another common problem is that your map folder is actually two folders deep.
i.e. maps/maps rather than only maps.

That was my issue thanks heaps. When i did that changed it to a single /maps/ directory all working fine.

hi.
the best option is to install tomtom to your storage card, by doing this the software defaults to the storage card for the map info.
my tomtom version cannot be installed to the storage, even though tomtom home placed the cabs there. it doesnt even ask.
the map can be on the storage, tomtom home copies it there when you select that when starting tomtom home (i can choose between internal mem and 4gb mem as target).
when tomtom is installed in your internal memory, you can move the files to the 4gb storage, and launch it from there without problems.
I have a HD2, that came with a 15 day trial of CoPilot.
I want to use footprints but I don't want to pruchase CoPilot, when I click on the co-ordinates or address in Footprints it tries to open CoPilot, is there a way to get it to search the co-ordinates in google maps or orange maps?
Warning: if you try the following solution, you'll have disfunctions on your navipanel
for google maps the solution is very simple: just rename or cancel the folder CoPilot on internal memory of your HD2, or cancel the .exe of copilot inside this folder (splashscreen.exe too)
Or you can achieve the same results with a registry mod in HKLM\Software\Htc\Navisw
there's a key named SDKModule...just cancel or rename the entry (the default is \Windows\alksdk.dll)
choose the way you prefer
can u explain this detailed pls. is there a way to auto transfer coordinates from footprints to igo or other gps software.
any ideas how to transform the coordinates???
I managed to launch iGO8 with footprints, but that's all..It's just launching the igo application, but is not making a route to my footprint coordinates.I don't think this is possible.Igo must have a script to know that it has some coordinates to load. Hopefully HTC will release a .dll or something for other gps software then CoPilot or GoogleMaps.
All the best

hope to be fastly done, actually footprint is so nice application but without coordinate transfer it becomes almost totally useless.
i hope that problem to be solved.
meanwhile copilot looks like a kid toy in respect to igo, so its nonsense to use footprint only with copilot ...

i tried exactly this, but when i click on the co-ordinate in footprints, it says "copilot.exe is not found"
