Hello all
I am new to this forum. So to start hello everyone. Nice to type ya.
Right can anyone help, i have got TOMTOM mobile 5 working with my XDA Exec. no problems (linked to a sirf3 tomtom bluetooth GPS )
but the only way i can navigate is using the qwerty keyboard and arrows.
I am unable to use the touch screen functions or the 4 way PDA
movement buttons thingymajig.
Any clever doods,lasses with any similar experiences.
p.s. The gps side works really well.
Just a point but Tomtom mobile is for smartphones and Tomtom Navigator is for XDA's.
Correct me if i'm wrong but that was my understanding.
navigator works fine on my exec..
:?

Yep your right, and seen as no smartphones have touch screens, its no supprise the thing don't respond to screen presses!
you know what is weird, if you goto the tomtom webpage, they have an update for tomtom mobile so that it supports wm2005 meaning the i-mate jasjar... see it it is there. Should I use tomtom mobile instead now????
Don't think so for the reasons as stated above.
Right that explains alot
I will need Navigator and not Mobile.
time to get wallet out again.
Cheers

There is WM2005 for smartphones too! You need the to use navigator.

Navigon Mobile Navigator 5.0 and 5.1 both works like charm on JasJar and for me it is much better than TomTom already. No problematic installations, works from SD straight ahead, maps are not splitted (the whole Europe is one file), you do not need to switch crossing the borders.
The maps source is better (maps are more accurate than TomTom ones).
I, definitely, recommend it.

Hi surinamer,
I do not think there are is anything special in Navigon config (i use BT GPS receiver).
I've installed Navigon completely and huge European map (~950Mb) to SD. I beleive you need to look at your general WM power and backlit
settings.
Forgot to mention - Navigon eats a lot of RAM - ~20-25Mb. So, free RAM as much as you can.
Regards,
baudy.
Hi Baudy2,
after reading your post I've installed on my xda exec Navigon 5, everything is ok with the installation,BT is automatically found, the only trouble is that when I try to navigate to a place that is about 3-4 Km from me, everything's ok,but if I'll try to set up a trip of more than 5Km the navigator go crazy and told me that I 've reach my destination after just 200 meters.
I've tried to free up as much RAM asi can, but with no results.
Any idea???
Sounds like a real threat for TomTom... :lol: :lol:
And sorry guys but an idea of installing a whole europe map as an only option is pretty riddiculous for me.
950MB needed even If I never go out of London :roll: .
Have an unique map it's just an option and if you travel all over Europe and drive for more than 1200Km in one day is wellcome...
The real problem is that I've tried TT5 and I've problem with maps not up to date,BT interference with my handsfree...
I try with Navigon and still have troubles....
Is there any software house who is able to provide a software that really works??????
Hi All,
Which of these navigation services offer the best UK traffic information ?
TomTom Traffic uses data from ITIS holdings which generates very accurate traffic flow data... I swear by it!

You've forgot to pay for the Navigon software.
There is no Navigon 5.1 cracked. Only 5.0. So, downgrade to 5.0. It works like charm.
have been struggling to load tomtom on my XDA Ex. On the occasions it has run, there was no link for GPS receiver and on occassions was getting a fizzy image. Any help out there from someone who has managed to load this
tomtom 5.21 is not for PDA, but for smartphone or WM2005.
you need to install tomtom NAVIGATOR 5.10
TOMTOM 5.21 OR NAVIGATOR FOR THE XDA EXECUTIVE?

I'm running version 5.21 (5430) for PocketPC with GPS driver v1.20 on an XDAIIi.
I loaded tt5.21 on my fathers exec last night, I am assumiing you are using a BT gps receiver? If so then make sure you pair the gps BEFORE loading on tt5.21, then go to comms manager and select gps device in bt settings, then set it to outgoing and assign com 0 to it. then start up tt5.21 and select other bt gps, then select com 0. that is how I got it to work. Under ver 5 it wold not do anything at all, even though either version works fine on my 2i !!!! But 5.21 works just fine on the exec.
Tomtom Now Working
Thanks guys for your contributions. I now have Tomtom Version 5.21 on my XDA Exec.
This has been after so many hours of frustration and browsing the web to find the solution after I got the phone.
I have installed a cracked version which worked after trying so many cracked version which I had found on the net.
I now believe that some of the cracked ones have got some files corrupt or misssing because I dont see why they were not working.
Now I love my phone.
My qustion is with this cracked version WOULD I be able to access TomTom WHETHER AND TRAFFIC ? OR THIS IS A NO GO AREA?
Would the TomTom website know that mine is not a legit copy? :lol:
@ two4one
The cracked versions are recognised as being cracked and don't work with updates etc....
To avoid hastles with this site lets not mention warez, I'm not squeaky clean myself, but it can cause problems for the site developers and so on.
Glad you're happy with it though.
TomTom Navigator V5.210
I Too am running TTN Version 5.210 on an XDA IIi :lol:
hello
I wanted to get a navigation system which would work with my xda exec. can you guys recommend one?
should i go for an SD card based one or a bluetooth solution?
I use Tomtom software, works perfectly and Holux GPSlim236 Bluetooth GPS receiver
Regards, Simon
thanks for the reply
i guess you use it in bluetooth mode?
what tomtom software do you use with it
i came across an all inclusive package from expansys
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=TOMTOM_MOBILE_5
what do you guys think of it?
Hi, I use Route66 nav7. cheaper than TOMTOM and with free taffic. TOMTOM is alot easy to use than ROUTE66. TOMTOM has a bad after sales team.

You require "TomTom Navigator 5.0" then the upgrade is needed to 5.21!
TOMTOM_MOBILE_5 is for smartphones (not PDA's)
Loads going on ebay:
NEW - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-TomTom-Na...9733242401QQcategoryZ4668QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
SECOND HAND - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TomTom-Naviga...ryZ75327QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Alternativley just search for tom* nav* 5 (exactly like that) on ebay
hope this helps.
thanks for the replies
so i can go for tomtom mobile 5 not tom tom 5 (which is for PDAs)
and the Holux GPSlim236 Bluetooth GPS receiver (is there any feature which differentiates between GPS receivers?)

It should work!!
the tomtom GPS reciever will work better and require less fiddleing to get it to work as the exec's can be a pain to set up tomtom!!!
thanks for the reply
what is teh difference between a smartphone and a pda. is not the xda exec a smart phone?

do you mean that i should go for a standalone tomtom gps receiver
hi,
Smartphones usually operate using the Symbian operating system your exec Uses Windows Mobile 5, a different beast.
Re the tomtom BT GPS, the Execs can be a bit of a pain to set up the comm ports on when configuring tomtom with another GPS, Holux, Etan etc, so I guess the advise was meant to say that in tomtom, you tick a box and GPS is configured and working.
Hope that helps,
Bryson!
Hello,
I just bought a MDA Pro and tried today TomTom 6 with my new device.
Why is it so slow?? It has a 520MHz pocessor but it is even slower than my previous qtek 9100 @200MHz??
I have all the POI's turned off but that doesn't help.
Can someone please help me out here?
My Device info:
ROM: 2.50.00 WWE
Radio: 0.00.00 (sim unlocked)
Protocol: 42.37.P8
Regards,
Schmia
TT6 havent been releashed yet.
Wait for the final version to come out....oh and offcourse remember to pay for it before you ***** about it
wakeUpe dude!!!
TomTom is for sale in Holland, so your stupid comment is useless.
Norway is way behind! He he he ;-))
Schmia
I have it in UK too. Screen refresh is about twice per second. What are you seeing?
I'm running on O2 Exec with a BT77 GPS.
Cheers,
Steve
on jasjar, tomtom is only slow in landscape, not in portait

Mine's just the same. Two frames per second in landscape mode.
In portrait mode it's a little bit better but not fast.
I'm using a tomtom bluetooth Sirf III reciever

Schmia
WTF. I am awake......LOL.....I even checked tt's website
But yes, Norway is waaaaaay behind
are you sure mine is running fine much smoother than tt5 even in landscape
if your using a cracked version this could be the problem
hi, using tt6 on my mda pro without any issues..it is prefect. i would not say it it slow by any means..it is much better the tt5 - just the lack of rotation within the tt's menu is a minus...but u cannot have everything, can you ?

Go back to TT5 mate.TT6 sucks!

Well, not having used TT5, I wouldn't know, but TT6 is great. 1st time with GPS device and realy love it. Easy to install and use on Exec. I'm using with a Holux GPSlim 236 and its great
M5000/MDA Pro TomTom6 Bluetooth GPS How?
How the hell have you all got TT6 working?
I read on TT's site that its not SPVM5000 compatible (Not listed on the devices)
I have had TT5.21 working sweet as a nut on the M5000, with BT GPS (Model: FGPXBT02)!
Scrathing my head on this one - TT6 installs, loads, even allows me to configure home address, configure GPS device and navigate to all the menus, but it will not find the bloody GPS receiver.
How come?? when it worked fine on TT5.21??? Surely TT have not removed generic bluetooth support?
If someone has a generic bluetooth GPS receive working with TT6 I would be grateful if you told me how! - Dont want to have to go back to using 5.21 (even though it looks like the only solution!)
Cheers.

Ever tried TomTom 5? On my Magician TomTom 6 is slower than TomTom 5, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1026668#post1026668
Update!!!
I have now successfully implemented TomTom V6 on an Orange SPVM5000.
After trying all sorts of stuff, including iGo2006 to chech the GPS was working, I hard reset the M5000 and re-installed TomTom V6 ... This still did not work... AAARRRGGGHHH
Searching through the forums I discovered that the 'NO GPS DEVICE' was common through all versions of TOM TOM and a solution was presented by a fellow user.
It turns out that TOM TOM (Any version) does not work unless you have the phone switched on (Smartphone versions only).
Out with the old simcard (defunct, just being used to stop the phone whinging about 'INSERT SIM') and in with a new PAYG from orange (not gonna use it for phoning as I have a BLACKBERRY, just using the M5000 as satnav and wireless PDA - have hands free car kit installed and did not want to remove it!!! )
Voila - the bloody thing works now - finds the GPS Device, finds the satellites and navigates the routes.
oooo - seems quicker than 5.21, and the maps look smarter - but thats about it. The maps dont seem to have been updated as our new build house number is still not on there, and the old properties have been demolished 18 months!!!! oh well - at least i have sat nav in the car again!!!
Lessons to be learned from this!!! - Don't disable the phone - lmao
Cheers!!!!
TT6 works very fine on my Universal. BT GPS and Contacts Navigation works without any problems. Redraw speed is awesome when compared to TT5.2 (at least with my configuration), although it is still less responsive than TT5.2 on a Magician.
The map for Germany is quite up to date as far as I can check.
