how do you get tom tom working ?
it keeps telling me to instal maps, wich i already did
Did you use official map installs or warez?
the map that comes with the tom tom software, you first install the navigator app and then you can install maps, then i install the netherlands and want to start tom tom on my mda and it says that i should install maps from the cd first
I had this, I think it happened because I installed everything at once without clicking the "ok" buttons on the PDA after each app installed (i.e it installs about 5 things, tom tom nav, tom tom gps, tom tom wizard, tom tom maps etc). If you dont click ok after each one it can get confused and not install the map.
Uninstall the map using activesync add/remove, then re-install it from the cd, making sure to click ok on the pda if it asks you.
If that doesnt work uninstall the whole lot using activesync, soft reset, then install from scratch but make sure to keep an eye for ok buttons on the pda while installing.
Also make sure you have enough memory, the maps are big (16mb, 32mb, 64mb and 128mb...dont know how big the netherlands one is).
Jez.
well its working now i think it was because the memory card i installed it on was not empty, i used an empty card now and everything is working
I cannot get it to install completely, as soon as i click on install it finds my JAM and an error message appears saying something about "File hierarchy" and tomtom support say that JAM is not a compatible phone for the navigator system. Can anyone help
anybody try the tomtom BT GPS?
works good for me with tomtom3 and blue tooth tomtom GPS.
first i had problem to install but it was because i use a USB hub.tomtom need a direct connection to install (there is a faq on TomTom site).
after to connect the bluetooth GPS ,you open Tom tom navigator , you ve got to go on the icone GPs state, then in Gps Folder choose "TomTom Wireless GPS" in the first window and "Bluetooth GPS" in the second.
good luck...
my jam always seems to freeze on tomtom 3.07 after a while im on v1.11 and bluetooth patch using an globalstat BT GPS :\ fecking thing
Brrrr Freezing again!

Your freezing problem is prob because of your choice of memory cards, certain cards work well some not @ all, lotsa threads about this.
yeah i just found that out i have a peak ultra 60x high speed 1gb sd and a 256mb simpletech one the simpletech one works great but yet the 1gb one freezes
I am using the TomTom BT GPS w/ my Jam too.
But I am not using the Tomtom software (since I found Routis V2 is much better for voice prompt and routing in US). I don't even need to install the GPS driver. Just pair it once and it will connect eveytime I open up my GPS software.
Four things about Tom Tom on JAM:
1. It seems to be equally as buggy as the rest of the JAM so no knowing when wierd stuff happens whether or not it is TomTom or the JAM or something else. That said when you do get it going, it does work nicely most of the time. Some intermittent weird behaviour:
- sometimes won't change maps
- keeps turning JAM back on when I turn it off. Have to close TT3 to get it to stop.
- without a power source, screen keeps going dark
- occassional BT issues
2. When TomTom doesn't see the maps at all but you know you've installed them, make sure you haven't deleted a file in the root of your SD card called "ignore_my_docs" which is a zero byte file that is hidden. This caused me a bit of pain for a while.
3. Because of my previous issue, I discovered when I emailed TomTom support that TomTom doesn't in fact support this release on the Magician and won't help you if you tell them that is what you have. So if you do need support make sure you give them the name of a device that they do support.
4. TT3 user interface leaves a lot to be desire IMHO, and the one thing that drives me nuts is that I have this SD card full of wonderful maps that I have paid for yet I can't simply type in an address just to look at the map, I have to pretend to make a journey, connect the GPS, blah, blah, blah. The only way around this I found is that if you keep address information in your contacts, you can select the "Show TomTom map" option.
I've TT3 3.07 on my magician with an adapt bt gps and it works fine. You do have to shut down the application as stated above, the device will keep switching on if you don't. But one problem is irritating: I live in Belgium where there is a general speed limit of 120 Km/h. I set the prefs so that the safe speed warns me showing no map but only arrows. If I drive too fast for a while the QTek S100 switches off and sometimes back on if I slow down under 120 Km/h. I didn't have this prob on my other, wired, device.
Hi All
After struggling for an hour last night, I finally got TomTom 5.21 and Bluetooth working on my Wizard (O2 XDA Mini S).
I went through my device after I'd got it all working and copied everything relating to TomTom on to my hard drive.
I've done a directory listing of this backup to show anyone who's struggling with this install exactly where the files are meant to be on a working install.
Attached is a .txt file showing the directory structure.
Hope this helps someone out.
Has this helped anyone?
Thanks for this list.
I havedownloaded thetxt file and it looks ok.
I have just got it for future use incase i have to hard reset my wizard.
Yes. i also hade to spend about 30 mins going though everything and changing things till i got mine working right.
thanks
im having a nightmare!!! after reading through hundreds of forums to get tomtom 5 on the xda mini s i finally manged to install tomtom 5.21 on my device but now i have a problem, a couple of forums advised to just install 5.21 not version 5 (not compatible with wm5). 5.21 installs perfectly, i have all the maps and voices, but now as i have obtained the tomtom 5.21 update when i get past the voice section it tells me to enter a product code, i only have a copy of tomtom 5 so i havent got a product code. is there anyway round this????? ive tried a crack 5.21 but it just tells me when i try to install it on my device "tomtom failed to start"
anyone got any step by step suggestions its driving me crazy!!!!

I do not think you will find a hack for this at the moment...
Just use your original product code, but that is just a beginning of nightmares. Bluetooth does not work with GPS devices. That is a present from Microsoft. You would think with new version compatibility would improve. Well, let's just wait for M-soft updates.
@peralex:
That's complete nonsense!
You just need to pair the wizard with the gps, assign a new outgoing port (COM6 by default) DO NOT CHECK THE SECURE CONNECTION CHECKBOX!
Turn off the wizard, turn it on, now start TTN5.21 WITHOUT manually enabling BT. (TTN enables it for you) Then select 'other BT GPS' on COM6 and voila, wait for a fix and navigate away.
@Topicstarter
Your TTN5 product key should work with 5.21.
well thats the thing i need a crack so i dont have to enter a product code, because the ttn5 is a copy i dont have a product code!
Wow, I did not know that you have to go through the whole voodoo ritual to enable simple GPS, but thanks, I will try it.

Remember to stick a needle in your styrofoam dummy gps receiver before switching the real thing on!
By word simple I did not mean "styrofoam" and from respect to this forum I am not going into BS with you MoFo.
I've been using the Atom since early Jan and TomTom 5.21 is the program thats not working, it's also a program that I really badly need.
But I am having big problems trying to get it to work
I've got a crack version and it installs fine but when it comes to selecting a voice.. it always freezes and goes no further.
I've been trying for days and nights but i'm getting nowhere
Can someone please help or advise me!!
Many thanks.

Dude, keep your shirt on. Try reading a post for a change before losing the temper and you would have noticed the trailing smiley in my post.

Writing a little step by step guide for a working TTN 5.21 installation, I'll post it in about 3 or 4 hours, I'm at work now... I'll try and answer all PM's as well by then.
TTN 5.21 on wizard (originally SD install of 5.0):
- Insert Memorycard into PPC and ,in case of WM5, cancel installation.
- Connect PPC to PC and run the 5.21 update (available on tomtom.com)
- When installed, activate (or "activate" :wink: )
Use GPS instruction above and navigate away. Easy, isn't it?
If it's not working, post it, I'll see if I can help.[/b]
i installed tomtom 5.21 on sd card, then start the 4 (i think) cab files from folder 2577, place then on device. you will have to do a reset with one of the files, it tells u when. then goto programs and run tomtom. thats it. been working all day no probs, just need a phone that works now.?
dont forget the blue tooth peairing, like u have been told above.
there are many guides on TTN5 on WM5 on this forum, i have read & added to some of them.
* 5.21 IS Version 5, so your version 5 key should work fine
* Bluetooth should be paired, open a port, then add in TTN as "other BT GPS on port XX"
* If TTN hangs when you start do a google for tomtom5 currentmap.dat (or search this forum)
* you DO NOT need to install 5.0 then upgrade
* you CAN just install the 4 CAB files direct to your PDA without using a PC
FOR THE PPL THAT NEED THAT"""FILE"""" TO MAKE IT WORK
email me [email protected] and il email it to you
I thought i should post in this thread being as tho I had loads of problems getting thins to work on my wizard but now it's done it works a treat. Here's how i did it:
1. Installed the 4 .cab files from the "2577" folder into the root of my mini s
2. coped the GB map onto my mini sd card
3. updated to 5.21 (i've read that you dont have to install version 5 first but i did and it work for me). To update i installed the 2 .cabs files
4. soft reset
5. create a "tomtom" folder and put it in "my documents"
6. in the "tomtom" folder put your voice files that you want to use also make sure that the "currant map" file is in there
7. pair your gps receiver with your mini s. Create outgoing port 6 then tick the serial port box.
8. start tomtom and setup etc choose "other gps unit" and select port 6
thats it it worked for me. tomtom will switch on your bluetooth automatically. it took me a while but it's simple once your've done it. I'ce hard reset me mini s a couple of times now and reinstalled tomtom and it's worked no problems.
cheers
I am having major problems with TT5 and my mini s. I have tried everything suggested and can get TT5 working but not 5.1 or 5.2 (just freezes when selecting a voice). However TT doesn't see my bluetooth gps. COM6 just doesn't appear in the list of COM ports available in the TT gps setup.
Any ideas?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem but then did the following:
1. On your desktop, launch Notepad.
2. Type & \Storage Card\XXXXXX_map\ (don't forget to add the final back slash and have a space between the "&" and the first backslash. (XXXX = the name of your map directory on ur SD card)
3. Save the file as CurrentMap.dat. Make sure it doesn't end up as CurrentMap.dat.txt!
4. Create a folder on your KJam \My Documents\TomTom
5. Copy your newly created CurrentMap.dat file from your desktop into \My Documents\TomTom on your wizard
Soft reset - hopefully it now works!
thanks for all,
finally, i had got it working.
BUT what folder i can Delete after all working?
thanks
Hi all. I’m having a real problem with my xda mini s and Bluetooth. After reading through the advice her got it working with Tomtom turning on Bluetooth and connecting to the receiver. After the mini s was turned off overnight Tomtom wouldn’t turn on Bluetooth, and turning it on manually was no good, as Tomtom wouldn’t connect to the receiver (see earlier post).
After much messing around did a hard reset and reinstall and all was fine, until the next day, when after the mini s was turned off overnight Tomtom wouldn’t turn on Bluetooth, and turning it on manually was no good Etc Etc!!
Does anyone know what is going on as I don’t want to have to do a reinstall ever morning!! Should I have kept my XDA2?
Hope you can help, as I don’t have much hair left as it is.
G'day,
I am trying to install TomTom v5.21 onto the rw6828 without much luck.
Tried to copy cab files and get instal unsucessful when running.
Tried to install from PC and get an error that setup.exe encountered an error and the application closed.
Any help appreciated
Cheers,
Matt
on Atom I did it. I use cracked version 5.2.1 and maps for eastern europe.
http://4pda.ru/forum/uploads/img-10857-tt_navigator_ppc_521.rar
(with russian voices)
if you need install instruction - I will translate
Have progressed
Ok..I managed to install the application but I am unable to install the maps now.
I am not sure if I need to start again, as I installed the app first then ran the wizard, it came up with no maps found, I then copied the map and config file to the storage card , when I click on the cab it thinks for a while then reports install unsuccessful.
Any help appreciated
write the correct path in config file (thats locate in "My documents")
I am sure, that the name of your storage card is different with current config.
Problem with GPS Reciver on Atom XDA with Tomtom
Hello, i've installed Tomtom 5.21 and the maps and everything is ok. but i can't make the link between my gps reciver (Royaltek Star III) and the atom XDA. I've installed the partnership in the settings but it doesn't connect with the antenna. I've seen in my other pda (ipaq hx4700 and ipaq hx2790) that there is a bluetooth manager in the connection setting but there is non in the atom xda. Do you know what's the solution ?
Thanks
kropotov, what is the procedure to install your version of tomtom ?? and how do you change the path in currentmap.dat ??? THX in advance
solal
actualy I use cracked version 5.21 from www.4pda.ru
to run the program, you must
1. copy several files to Mydocument (include config file)
2. copy map to card
3. copy application to program files.
When you run application, it look to config in my documents.
So in different devices, you have different names of storage card (Storage, Memory card, SD card, CF card e.t.c.) you must edit config (storage name) to correct path to map files.
OK i am going to try I'll let you know thx
cookie,
i also own an rw6828. i purchased an HP iPAQ bluetooth receiver for it and am having the same issue as dragsterbox. that is i cannot seem to pair the receiver to the rw6828 (which is the same as the O2 Atom). what i would like to know from you is what gps receiver you are using and how you successfully paired the two. no-one has been able to diagnose, even on other forums.
i had no problems installing my version of tomtom on the phone though. i simply copied all installation files to the sd card and tapped the .cab files to install. program (v5) seems to work fine. it is just that the phone and gps receiver dont pair (which is dragsters issue). i am in australia also.

Hi every Buddy
Tell me is there any software which can Guide to Travel in India
THANKING IN ADVVVVVV
Hey everyone,
I have finally got my gear (HP iPAQ rw6828 & HP iPAQ Bluetooth GPS Receiver) talking to each other using TomTom Navigator 5 on Windows Mobile 5!
I thought I would post what worked for me in case I could possibly assist any others out there with the same issue. From what I have seen there have been a couple. If I have helped, I would love to hear from you!
If you have had many attempts at this, I would recommend you clear all previous bluetooth pairings, installations and GPS settings then do a soft reset at the minimum. A hard reset is preferable (be sure to backup all contacts, etc to a computer before doing so!).
1. Install TomTom on your device. DO NOT pair the bluetooth receiver yet!
2. Go to Start, Settings, System, GPS.
3. Set GPS program port to COM0.
4. Set GPS hardware port to COM7. Tap OK to exit. DO NOT pair the bluetooth receiver yet!
5. Go to Start, TomTom Navigator.
6. Configure TomTom and your connection as Other Bluetooth Receiver and select COM0 (the GPS program port) as it should be available now (it was never previously available to me in all my other efforts!).
7. Exit TomTom Navigator.
8. NOW pair the bluetooth receiver in Start, Settings, Connections, Bluetooth. Switch bluetooth on and then on the Devices tab select New Partnership. Once found select the bluetooth receiver and tap Next. Enter the required passcode and tap Next. Check the Serial Port box and tap Finish. BEFORE creating bluetooth COM ports go to the next step.
9. Tap OK to go back to Settings then System tab and GPS.
10. Set GPS program port to None. If you do not do this, you will not be able to set the incoming port as COM0 in your Bluetooth settings. We will come back and change it again later. Tap OK to exit.
11. Go back to the Connections tab and click Bluetooth.
12. On the COM Ports tab select New Outgoing Port. Select your GPS receiver and tap next. Select COM7 (the GPS hardware port) and tap Finish.
13. Now select New Incoming Port and select COM0. If you cannot do this, it is most likely you skipped step 10. Tap Finish to exit.
14. Tap OK to go back to Settings then System tab and GPS.
15. Set GPS program port back to COM0. Tap OK to exit then close the settings window.
16. Startup TomTom Navigator and... VOILA! You should be seeing your current location in a matter of seconds!
The truly bizarre thing about my 3 weeks of attempting to get this to work was that I had actually performed all the above steps but possibly in different order (well all apart from the changing around of the GPS program ports in that particular way!). I could never get COM0 as a port in TomTom. So I highly recommend following these instructions to a T if you are having serious trouble like I was. I managed to put all the information I had gathered from various forums, HP support and colleagues at HP (yes I work for HP!!!) together and come up with a RELATIVELY simple way of doing it! In the age of Plug n Play, this seems like a very laborious way to do things. Couldn't someone make an easier way???
Many thanks to all that had responded in my desparation. You all have in one way or another assisted in getting this to work for me. My faith in the PDA world has been restored!
I think my next purchase will definitely need to have an inbuilt receiver :wink:
Happy Trails Everyone!
It drives me crazy !
Hello,
I also own a rw6828. When I installed Tomtom 5 on my pocket pc from the ttn.cab file, the install works. I can launch the product, but it says I need an activation code. When I then replace the exe by the c---k one (which works for a colleague, but not having a rw6828), then it fails... Would you have any idea plse ? Which c---k should I be using ? Where can I find one ?
Thks for your help as this issue is driving me crazy and I am nearly regretting having bought that device !!!
Thanks !

Version 5.21 does not need activation in wm5 devices
Here is a very simple tutorial:
connect device via A/sync
run TomTom installer from desktop install via Benelux and tick "install the application".
By default it will install to main memory(whether you select SD or not)
copy your map to SD card putting raw map files into a folder called "TomTom".
If you have other maps you can create another folder called "TomTom1" and drop raw map files into there.
Pair your device with Bt GPS receiver, serial port should come up under partnership settings, make sure box is ticked.
Tap com ports tab and select New Outgoing Port, select com7
There is no need for an incoming Port!
Run TomTom and goto "Change Preferences" goto "Show GPS Status" selet BT receiver and select com7..... Done!
Great thanks
homer285,
Thanks a lot for your support. I have been having issues for 10 days and thanks to you, it is solved now !
Thanks !
What I did
Hello,
Just a quick note to describe what I did. For a reason I don't know, I never managed to install Tomtom 5.00 from the DVD, idem for 5.10 or 5.21. Therefore, I installed TTN from the sd card using a ttn.cab file. I directly install the 5.21 version with its patch. I did pair my BT GPS receiver and finally launch TTN 5.21 and had the pleasure to see it working. I was happy because I started regretting having bought this device.
My error was that I thought that I needed to patch the 5.00 version, then secondly install the 5.10, and finally install the 5.21 version.
Hope this helps and thx for your support.
Cheers
(HP iPAD rw6828, mini SD 1 Gb, Globalsat bt338, TTN 5.21)
there is already TTN 6 for WM5 and WM2003 exist
I need to backup my data and systems before even thinking about a new TT version :lol:
This is the reason why I asked in another post if there was a tool to do that, and I am under the impression that I need to add another softwarez to do so, ie there is no already installed tool on the ipaq rw6828, which, imho, is a shame !
backup? Why? TT6&maps can be installed in SD card
TT6
I installed TTN 5.21 on my device, and maps on my storage card. It's true that I could have installed on the storage card, but I was not asked the question...
Is TT6 already available ? What's the enhancements wrt TTN5 ? I may open another post...
I thought, after spending a couple of days wrestling with this issue, that others might find it useful. If I've posted it in the wrong place, then I'm sure Admin will correct it.
I recently sold my XDA 2, which had TomTom Nav 5 running on it with no problems. When I tried to install TT5 on my new Tytn using my laptop I got a "Windows has experienced a problem and needs to close" error. I Emailed TT who, unhelpfully, said TT5 is not compatible with that phone yet, sorry.
I started to explore other ways around the problem and, after connecting to the Tytn using Activsync and going to Add/Remove programs, clicked on TomTom and Activsync installed the backup on my laptop. It fired up fine, Great!! I thought, except there were no working voices. I then found a piece of software on TomTom's site called TomTom Home and used that to install the missing voices, except - despite the software saying they were installed - they still didn't work. In desperation, I copied the voice Files (there are 3 for each language) onto my memory card and then installed it in the Tytn. I then used the Tytn file explorer to find them, clicked on the Cab file and it self-installed. I then opened TT5 and - everything works! Technically, I'm not sure how I got here, but I'm happy with the result. Hope this helps you too.
