Can I run Tomtom on a Jasjar without using an SD Card? I have a SDIO Gps and cant install an SD Card at the same time or do I have to get rid of my SDIO Gps and go BT?
Regards
Hi there
yes u can
first u have to see that how much space u have in your JASJAR available to maps, normally maps take approx 100 MB space, so if you have more than 100 MB space in your JASJAR then YESSSS
it really depend on the map you installing, if you installing only one city maos then i am sure u can put the map folder in your JASJAR
other wise u can't
I got UK maps which takes about 101 MB space in my SD CARD well i do no which maps you wanna use
HTH

UK maps on Tomtom are about 96 meg.. I reckon that busts the bank.
It would seem the only way at present is for you to forgo your SDIO GPS and get a bluetooth one.. shame I know but seems the only answer.
I use the Globalsat BT338 and it is excellent.. picked it up for around 80 quid
Incidentally if you are going to get an SD card the best bet is to get a fast one (I have the transcend 80) because, historically, XDA's and Tomtom have a compatability problem with cards they can't access quickly enough.
It ends up with the program freezing etc
good luck

Hello,
Just wondering if you have some advice on this one.
I am using a 32MB XDA with an Orange contract.
Now I received destinator software which I would like to install as a navigation system in a car and for pedestrian usage as well.
When I tried to download the maps for Southern UK I already receive a message that memory is too small.
1) Which card do suggest for memory extension? SSD or MMD? what the best source to purchase? price level? Or are there any other ways to use it with current memory?
2) What else do I need? On e-bay I have seen some mound offers and on this forum some people mentioned a saphire mouse?
I am by no means an IT specialists, so any advice would be highly apprceciated.
Thank you in advance
Destinator does not like nmea protocol, it will be very flaky using nmea, the software, as far as I am aware was designed for the sirf chipset (I dont know if this was addressed in later revisions, I have destinator 2) so be sure to get a gps that supports this, any memory card will do, best source is ebay, I use sd card, however I use tomtom in preference to destinator as in my opinion it is a superior product, better overlays, free speed camera warnings, easier to customise etc, also much more frequent updates.
Thank you very much for your reply, Cruisin through!
In the meantime I got myself an SD card.
Sometimes the destinator is working, but most of the time I recieve:
either "Insufficient space message" or "your mapE1 is damaged or erased"
On top of it the internet connection is not working porperly anymore.
The XDA connects to the Orange network, but doesn't refresh the conntent of page at all.
As for this sirf chipset would that work with http://www.gpsw.co.uk/details/prod1286.html at all?
I would change to TomTom, but I already received the destinator software as a present...
many thanks

When I tried to install Destinator 2.06 I received an error that the pda wasnt synced, I then found that there was a patch for activesync 3.7, this fixed it, I will try that haicom receiver with Destinator today, I already have the receiver and software, and let you know the results. I have no idea why you are getting those errors, have you tried loading the maps to the sd card through a card reader/writer on usb?
Hi all,
TomTom 5.1 seems to take an absolute AGE to load on my Exec... I've got a 1Gb High-speed Lexar 32x card.
The time taken from me tapping on the TomTom icon in PocketPlus to TomTom actually starting takes about 65 seconds.
Is this normal on the Exec as I'm quite sure it doesn't take that long on my Himalaya!
Got the same timing, and I think this should be related to 1gb SD card. i would be glad to have a solution.
I've got a cheap 1gig card and it takes 14 secs to load from a hot key. No third party launchers involved. I don't even have the tomtom today plug in installed.
sparky: when u say you use a hotkey, I presume you mean you've assigned TomTom to a hardware button?
Depend if you have the gps on or off
If you have BT gps configured and its not turned on tomtom will turn on the BT and search for the GPS until it gives a timeout of 45sec...
if you have the gps on is fast..

Yes, I use the video call button
My opinion is Windows Mobile is great as long as you use it for data only. No voice calls
I'm using Corsair 1GB card. Start TT from today screen with my GPS BT Off. TT takes 15 seconds to sart.
IMHO may be long time due to your SD card only being 32X ?
@fcaeiro: BT is on and so is my GPS unit is on when I try to load TomTom...
@johnwx: What speed is your SD Card? I thought 32x was supposed to be relatively nippy...

My Corsair card is 40x
Some of the faster cards are 150x !!!!!!
Hi everyone!
Just popped over from the Xda2i board and just wanted to ask..
For KJam is it possible to get high speed mini SD cards in order to make TomTom 5 to work properly and smoothly?
I understand from the posts here that it has to be the 5.21 update to work on the hardware correctly.
Some of you probably already know that the Xda2i needs a hi speed card to allow TT work properly and I was wondering if the same was needed for the K Jam?
If not, does TT 5.21 run nice and smooth on this handset? some of you have said it takes 30 seconds for TT to 'startup' - which isn't so much of a big deal to me, I just want it to perform nicely once running!
Any feedback advice would be appreciated guys!
Cheers!
Dennis! West London UK!!
Slooooow startup, but okay when it's up
My xda mini S and Tomtom bluetooth seem to take ages to pair up. I haven't worked out whether it's best to start the GPS or TT5 first. It can take upwards of 2 minutes! It doesn't seem to like plannin a route whilst it's trying to pair either. Sometimes it can take as little as 30s, but that's the best.
Once it's up it fairly steams ahead though. And I can run a bluetooth headset and phone conversation at the same time, no probs and no probs switching back. oice dialling works a treat too.
I now have a 2Gb mini SD which as soon as I get the data transferred to it (via a new card reader), I'll let you know if/how it goes. No probs with my Moby 1Gb card.
Re: Slooooow startup, but okay when it's up
Have you got it working yet? I'm curious if it's faster now.

mine works fine with moby mem 1gb card
let us know on the 2 gb one
slightly slow at booting TT5 though but within limits
Looking to get a GPS setup now for my wizard.
I think I will be getting this bluetooth receiver unless anyone can tell me a reason not to ( ie its rubbish ) http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8590.htm
Which version of tom tom will work with the wizard ? Is it 5.21 onwards ?
How big of a memory card will I need to run tom tom ? Will 512 meg do ? Are there any makes to avoid ? I was thinking of one of the mobymemory ones at £21.99.
Are there any troubles with the wizard and tomtom 5.21 ? Its not something I have read much about as ive only just decided to get one.
Many Thanks.
I have a MDA Vario running TomTom Navigator 5, V5.21, I am sure if you buy the software new then any installation problems with WM5 will have been resolved, if not; I do have a step by step guide for installing the software (original) and 5.21 update. The software runs perfect without any problems whatsoever.
I use a Holox BT-321 BLUETOOTH GPS RECEIVER. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BT-321-BLUETO...499429QQcategoryZ4668QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem
I also use a 512MB Sandisk mini SD card. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sandisk-512MB...itemZ5862591470QQcategoryZ96991QQcmdZViewItem
In car I am using a Brodit Active mount P/N: 968650 & Pro Clip. http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8670.htm
I have subscribed to TomTom Traffic and use PocketGPS camera warnings with POI Voice alert; the above configuration works with the Wizard perfectly.
I give TomTom Navigator 5 out of 5.
I have an XDA Mini S (provider : O2), and I am running Tom Tom 5.21 perfectly fine. Also, something that will answer your question regarding the GPS product : http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8590.htm , is that it works perfectly fine with the XDA Mini S and the Tom Tom 5 or 5.21 software. I know that, because I am using the above mentioned GPS device. It works ok, it last 10 to 12 hours without charging, it picks up satellites quick, its battery is a BL5c- compatible to many Nokia phone batteries,it comes with a usb cable, so you can charge it by connecting it to your laptop/pc and it has a car adapter as well. The only prob I have with this GPS device is that for the moment I can't have it to work with the my pc ( for example:using it with MS Autoroute ). I believe the reason is that the device does not come with installation drivers for the pc. If you download a cracked version of Tom Tom you can find installation procedures at the following links:
http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/742385-1.html
http://www.expansys.fr/forumthread.asp?code=125518&thread=58
Finally, concerning the memory card you need to buy, I think that 256 is more than enough to run the Tom Tom 5 with Great Britain's map installed. This map is around 120 meg and plus the maximum of 50meg for the TomTom software, I believe 250 is ok. But, is better to buy a bigger mini sd card, if you want to add more maps.
I have a mobymemory 1Gb mini sd card installed in my XDA mini S and it works perfectly fine!!! See link:
http://www.mobymemory.com/1GB_2GB_mini_SD_miniSD_Memory_Cards_fromSanDisk_and_MobyMemory.asp
Also, you may find really usefull the USB miniSD Reader/ Flash Pen Drive - to make your mini sd work as a pen drive
I hope this info is good enough for you!!!

I use tomtom 7.9 in my xperia, and works fine! actually works better that my prev ver 7.4.had issue where it would not display any satellites (despite getting a fix)
Yes again, as u can just copy whole progs on a bigger mem card.well thats what i've done.
i can only find one place online selling it and its about £55 is that about right
