Hello,
My apologies if this has already been covered, did a search and didn't see an answer to my question.
I've just installed TomTom 4.4 on my WM5 device. It seems TomTom will only recognize a map if I install to the device itself (ROM) and not the storage card. Everything seems to go ok during the install process when installing to the card but then TomTom won't recognize that a new map is present once I launch the program and tell it to "switch maps," I only see the map I have installed in ROM, not the one in the storage card. This is obviously a big problem since maps can be over 100 megs and there's no way I can fit that in ROM. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Edit: gps.cab, ttn.cab, and the voice .cab file were all installed to the storage card if that helps any
TomTom 4.4 was not designed to work with WM5...
As far as I knew only tomtom v5.1 works.
however there were problems with the maps, whereby I had to take my mem card out of my pro, put in a mem card reader, then run the setup disc, and install to other location, this should bring up the removable drive as an option to install to.
worked for me, but I installed ver 5.1

Below is a post to a different forum site on the issue of TT6 returning with 'no maps found' error when they are on the SD card. All makes sense, but can anyone tell me what the impact would be of the solution given below.
Thanks

Also voices now found on SD Card with no issues.

TomTom 6 will quite happily install and run from the SD card, however when you actually try to use it you will get an error that no maps exist and you cannot select any of the voices, even though you know that everything is on the SD card where its supposed to be. The problem is that TomTom must have decided that no one uses a device with built in storage anymore, and seem to have hardwired the program to just look in the first storage device available for all its running data. In previous versions if this happened you could just tell it were to look for maps by editing the currentmap.dat file to point to the correct place. TT6 seems to ignore this and will continue looking for maps on the first storage device it finds, which in the case of the X5 is the built in storage. My solution may seem a bit drastic but for me it works and is a reasonable compromise, get rid of the built in storage. The cleanest way I can find for doing this is a registry edit, I used total commander to delete the following key:-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\ PSM
One softreset later and no more 30MB built-in storage drive (really only used mine for backups anyway and an SD card will do just as well).
I you decide that you need your internal storage back again then just add the information back again you can use the attached file to reconstruct the key again, total commander (Reeg Editor) won't do it automatically but there's not much to do by hand.
Once the built in storage was gone Tomtom 6 could find both maps and voices from the SD card.
This may work on other pda's as well although im not responsible for any issues that may arise
Well this makes perfect sence to me, the TT v6.00 to v6.01/6.02 seems to have introduced this new 'feature'. I can run TTv6.00 from any location and it finds the maps no matter where they are stored. TTv6.02 fails unless they are stored in the main PC memory. I am on an XDA Orbit and now need to work out a fix along the same lines as you - I dont understand how you can kill the internal storage with no impact?
Thanks, Jez

I got the No maps found error after upgrading to 6.02 after using 6.00.
I found that by moving my maps directory in to my My Documents folder on my storage card it corrected the issue and TT now sees my maps again.

What framework version are you running?
thanks

I assume you're talking about the Microsoft .NET CF? If so, I have 2.0 installed.
Yeh, very odd as I am on 2.0 here too, I give up.....roll on v6.1
Thanks
The solution that worked for me, put the Map folder in the SD card directory direct, don't put it in the TOMTOM or the Navigator folders

Hi guys,
Just switched from WinMo to Rogers 32A. I've flashed MyHero and so far I like it.
The part that still confuses me is how Android works internally as far as memory management is concerned.
I have the regular 32A (288MB version) with 8GB MicroSD. When I install applications using "adb install", what happens? Does it install to the 288MB area? Or is there another area it gets installed to? I don't think it installs on the SD.
So if it is limited to built-in memory, what do you guys use SD for? Is it just for pure storage purpose such as movies, music and documents accessed by applications?
If there are any helpful links that could clarify this, please let me know as well.
When you install it will put em on the internal ram (288mb) but with root you can modify it so it will install and run the applications on/from the sdcard.
Havent tryed myself but saw it around and maybe this link can guide you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462882
Didn't try myself cause i haven't run out of ram yet and also sdcards have a lifespan so guess it will die faster if you use it for applications.
I use my flash for nandroid recovery, music and so on!
Actually it is installed to the ROM (512MB)
I believe most applications are small so it will fit ok in the 512MB area but what about GPS apps? If CoPilot is similar to TomTom, it will probably exceed 1GB including maps. Does this mean I am forced to use Apps2SD?
My bad, ofcourse its in the rom
Guess when tomtom comes out for android the main application will be installed into the rom while the maps will be placed on the sdcard.
Hi there,
On my old HTC Diamond I installed everything to phone memory and so when I flashed it I just reinstalled all my apps. However, this time I have installed a large amount of them to the storage card. I don't remember my Diamond's storage card being flashed - so thats not the issue (I will probably remove the card before doing it anyway) - but my question is will my phone still see the installed apps on the memory card and put them in the start menu etc? Or will I be better off just uninstalling everything and re-doing it from scratch?
Also, is the new HTC Rom available in the UK yet?
bump?
surely someone can tell me

Check your HTC site in the UK to answer your own question.
Perhaps you should read more about how a flash works before you try with your HD2. Think of it this way: You have two hard disks in your computer, C and D. With Windows XP on C you installed all your programs on D. Then you decided to install Windows 7 on drive C, which copied over your XP. Do you think that Windows 7 will run the programs in D? The answer is obviously no.
The situation is similar when you flash a new ROM. With a file manager you could see the programs on your storage card, but that is all. You would have to reinstall all the programs for them to work.
Take care and understand everything you really need to know before you do decide to flash.

Thanks for the info.
I tried to look at previous posts but could'nt find solution. Sorry if it is already discussed.
I purchased Telstra HD2 with US 830 3g band and then Hard SPLd it and flashed 1.66 Leo HTC Rom.
I have been now unable to locate or reinstall IGO8 navigation software from the microsd card. It was fine with telstra ROM.
I now do not have the ability to use windows marketplace.
Any programs that can I can install to further improve this beautiful phone?
Thanks.

Is that because the Windows Marketplace doesn't work, or because it isn't installed?
It started working!
I retried downloading and it worked!
Any ideas on the igo8 that is on my micro SD card?
Thanks
When you say you are unable to locate or reinstall IGO8 navigation software from the microsd card do you mean that its not on the storage card anymore or that you get an error when trying to install it?
Mark.
chances are you have the maps on the storage card and the program was integral with the rom your hd2 was using.. unless you can find it as a cab file i would say your not going to get it again.. you could always look at getting something like tomtom, garmin or co pilot.. there not real expensive but you could always get them through aternative sources if you know where to look!
as for ms marketplace, just re download the cab file, google marketplace and the link is easily available!
the file seems to be there on my microsd card. I eject and put it back in its slot expecting it to get reinstalled but that is not happening.
I guess I am a fool when it comes to finding stuff. I will truly appreciate if you can help.
Thanks.
I am a doctor, I'll give medical tips for free
Hey there, doctor here too. Make sure to get offline uptodate on your HD2! If you're lucky you'll be able to get it via the institution you work for....
igo auto installation works only when you have a folder in your storage card with the name 2577 and in that map a file called autorun.exe
if you have a folder with iGO8 on storage card ...see if there's a iGO.exe in it.
press on it and igo runs
