I have installed tomtom5 on my xda2. I find that if I use it for about 20mins ie: local journey it works fine. If I decide to use it on a journey of over approximately 30 miles or more I get problems like the maps fade from the screen and start displaying parts of the journey I have already passed. If I quit the application and restart it I often get error "No Maps Installed". I then Soft boot xda2 and all is fine again for a short period. Is this a common thing on the XDA2 or does any one have any idea. I am frustrated with this and feel like binning the unit. I would appreciate any suggestions, :? I am using the settings "Other Cable NMEA GPS" and Serial cable on Com1. ROM version 1.72.00WWE IMEI: 351938000522892
I have been using TomTOm for the past 3 months, all issue I had were resloved with the last tomtom update
perhaps u should try reinstalling
Thank you for your reply, I have reinstalled it about 6 times now but still the same. Regards

Tom Tom 5 and XDA 2
I recently upgraded from TT3 to TT5, the only real problem I get is the phone ringer and caller display does not ring or display propperly.
My Jabra BT250 is slow in responding and answering when the button is pressed.
One other bugbare is not being able to see the Start Menu Bar when running TT5 as unable to see if you have a phone signal or received a text or missed a call.
Any help on these matters would be greatly apprecieated.
Thanks
ROM 1.7.2.00WWE
Radio 1.17.00
Ext Rom 1.72.18i1
It seem's every xda has different problem's , when my phone ring's it do's take a second to ring in the BT headset and about another second when the button is pressed to answer the call , and i get a balloon come up to say who is calling but i think that is part of Fonix voice dial. Icannot see away round including the start menu while running tt5 or 3 , so does tom tom freeze when you get a call or change phone arials??, sorry i could'nt be any more help

I have been using TT3 extensively past year and recently upgraded to TT5.
No real issues.
THE issue with TT3 was that when my BT GPS was out of reach and i started TT3, it almost locked up my whole device (had to soft-reset). I found out is has something to do with my BT GPS. Aparantly WM2003SE does not have this issue.
next to this, I noticed frequent freezes IF I had actoivated POI. Tested this with several (also Toshiba and Panasonic made) SD Cards.
With TT5 these problems are gone.
The only thing I noticed when using TT5 is when I try to start a phne call the display is not properly build up: all except the numbered buttons are there.
No freezes whatsoever here anymore.
All in all still an improvement.

@pleun: Where do we find this patch (searched for it but no results) and what does it do?
Advice
I'm considering buying TT5 but am a bit concerned about all the problems people are having. I noticed on tomtom's website it is compatible with the XDA 2. Would it be best to buy this package as it all comes complete on an SD card tomtom have tested, or, go for TT3 - people are selling these on ebay really cheap??
TT5 and XDA2
I am running TT5 with the GB Plus map on the XDA2 without any problems.
You must use a BT or serial GPS connection. Get a good mount which has a RJ11 connector for the TT serial GPS or use a Y cable for something like the HAICOM PS2.
XDA2 512 SD
SIN MERGED
RADIO 1.8
WM2003SE
it makes com 5 visible to tomtom.
Ok I am going on a trip tomorrow and my TomTom5 is not working. I am using TomTom5 Navigator. I also have the official TomTom5 wired GPS device. However it keeps on coming up "No GPS Device".
I have checked all the cables and they are plugged in - the TomTom GPS device is flashing green. I cannot find any info on the TomTom site about the setup of it. I presume it is supposed to be plug and play???
Any help will be greatfully receiving.
BTW The version numbers are
App Version 5.000 (4890)
Free RAM 42.6
GPS Driver V1.2
If you need any more info just ask and I can post it
Thanks!!
Phew I just got it working, I spent 20 minutes searching through posts here and in the end I found it!
I had my beam turned on. I have now turned it off and I tested it (went for a little drive) and its all working fine \o/
Yep we all have done that
I nearly took mine back to the shop.
Hi, I'm hoping to get the new Windows Mobile 5 device dubbed the HTC Universal, AKA o2 xda Exec.
TomTom tell me TomTom Navigator 5 is NOT compatible with it.
www.mobilefun.co.uk state that it is compatible.
Some people on forums say they have 5.1 working with the device.
Other people state the Bluetooth won't lock in.
Does anyone here know the truth?
Yes it will work
It works. I use TT 5.1 about every day (via a bluetooth receiver). Here's the instructions to install the program.
http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=28171&highlight=
Go about half way down.
To install your BT GPS receiver. First pair the device. Then add a new COM Port under the Bluetooth settings. You want to add an OUTGOING port. I usually specify it as COM0. Then start up TT5, go into GPS configuration, selct "Other BT Receiver", then select COM0 from the menu. TOMTOM will automatically start up BT (it doesn't have to on before you launch the program), find the already paired receiver and start communicating with (give it some time though. the whole process takes about 30 seconds to a minute).
Hope this helps.
Cool, thanks!
And finally... I assume the Universal can support 2 simultaneous bluetooth connections? E.g. can I use TomTom with the bluetooth GPS at the same time as speaking on a bluetooth car kit?
To keep things simple
Tomtom 5.0 does NOT work with the Universal. Tomtom 5.1 Does. Hpoe this helps
Received my T-Mobile UK MDA PRO today. I can confirm that TomTom 5.1 DOES work great on it with any bluetooth GPS device, although it was a few hours before I stumbled upon a thread in this forum which had instructions on how to get it working
jasjar works fine with tt5.1 and can connect at same time with gps,headset and many bluetooth devices

Yes it does. I have 5.0 running on my JASJAR now. Haven't upgraded to 5.1 yet in case it breaks something.
just replace the tomtom navigator.exe with the 5.1 version, all done.
How on earth did you manage to get TT5.0 to work?
I have tried everything (all the above tricka and then some) and cannot get the right com port to show up from within Tomtom? Can you tell me step by step?

It does work, if you follow the guide in this thread exactly:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28386
However, I had to use COM4 instead of COM0.
I also had a problem where I connected everything to the right COM port, could see TomTom accessing the GPS device by the LEDs, but still "no GPS device found!" - it seems TomTom likes your GPS device better if it's actually locked onto a signal (so go outside!), give all this a try
...talking of TTN5....
Has anyone had any success getting TT working with the Wired GPS mouse? Is there a way to connect it to the Exec...?(mini USB to serial connector?)
If the 2 can be physically connected, does the software see it/connect up properly?
TIA
cheers
Paul
FYI, I emailed TOMTOM about the installer crashing, and guess what they said. "TOMTOM 5 is not supported on the IMATE JasJar."
What a load of cobblers. It works perfectly well if you install it using the cab files. TOMTOM support is the biggest load of s**t I have ever come across.
JJ works fine with the following:
1) Navigon MN 5
2) TT 5.1
3) OnCourse Navigator
4) iGuidance
These have been tried and tested.
Just cause it's not supported it doesn't mean they don't think it'll work. it just means that they won't help you fix it if it goes wrong becuase they have not tested on that platform. always worth a try regardless of what the vendor or devlopers say!
Another MDA Pro with TT5
I just got an MDA Pro a couple of weeks ago, and being the fool I am, bought a copy of Tom Tom 5 from Fleabay (doh!).
On receipt, I could not get the software to load from my PC, and when trying to copy over the cab files manually, the ttn.cab file will not load on the PDA. On closer inspection, this has got something to do with 'Bekonl' so appers I have wasted some money on cracked software that does not work.
Is this right? Or if I can obtain an alternative ttn.cab file, will it load, if so will it be locked? I was just looking for a reasonable low priced SatNav solution - but this is proving to be harder than I thought!
For those of you coming from a WM2003 device you can simply install TomTom on a memory card on that. Take the memory card out and put in Universal. It works. That's it.
I am not unfortunately. I am coming from a Mk1 paper diary, a £3.99 map from the petrol station, and a bullet proof Nokia 6310i!
All help gratefully received though.

If the ttn cab fails to install try this;
uninstall all tomtom entries from remove programs.
Remove sd card from device
install gps.cab
soft reset (this is the important bit)
install ttn.cab

Please help
I re-insstalled TT5 on my MDA Compact/S100 after cold boot.
After pairing an adapt 300 BT receiver, I installed it in TT on Com5, like before
It worked like a charm before, but now I see only about 9 greyed-out satelites and TT is telling me "no useble GPS signal".
the longest I have waited for more then an hour but no change.
Re-installed the whole thing, restored a backup in which I had no problems. Been trying for days now
Still no useble signal
Installed TT5 on a Vario/Wizard, same problem.
Can the receiver be faulty?
Can anyone please help me?
UPDATE:
I also installed Navigon 5.
Program finds the receiver, but also cannot find a good signal.
Went back to the store, I will get a new receiver. It is probably faulty
Hi..When I set up my GPS device on my m3100 Tomtom nav 6 will work fine. However the next time I use it tomtom fails to pick up the gps device. The only way I can then get it working is by removing the gps device & re-adding it.
Anyone come across a similar problem, used to work fine on my old m600.
i have come across the same problem. I have to wait for a long time for the device to be connect with the gps receiver. Sometimes i get connected however the receiver cannot get gps signals. Someone plz guide us???
i've got a 838Pro with TomTom V6.010 and The BT-74R Bluetooth GPS Receiver i pick up of ebay.
works great no problems !!!
yep i got a Generic ebay ($60 AUD) bluetooth GPS and the only problem i have is running the POIs with the maps causes tomtom to freeze up (using version 6.03)
My TomTom only freezes sometimes during start up, but i've notice this happens when i have alot of apps open running in the background.
however thanks to this site i no longer have this issue as i've have installed "HTC X-Button 1.5"
thanks.
I think my problem is different to others, it not that it can take a long time to connect its that It will only connect the frist time I try after adding the GPS device as a serial port. I have been using COM 0.

im also using COM0
the freezing issue went away on my TomTom (v6.0.30) when I installed AKU3.
Before I launch Tomtom, I have to start up VisualGPS which initializes the serial port and begins obtaining data from my Telenav GPS module. Try downloading it for yourselves - it's free!
