Hi all
Apologies if duplicate thread as i have checked as much as I could for it.
I have recently changed over to T-Mobile UK MDA Compact from XDA II.
What I want to know is has anyone used the Compact with TomTom 3? If so, can you please tell me how u got it to work.
Also, is there any way of upgrading the RAM from 64Mb.
One more thing how do you get rid of all the generic T-Mobile stuff that comes pre-installed. I amd having difficulties getting rid of the GPRS Monitor.
Any help with this greatly appreciated.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
I used the setup on the CD and it installed like any other application. Worked great, and now I am using TomTom 5, which also works well.
I've got tom Tom 3 on my MDA Compact working with a bluetooth Fortuna Clip On GPS Receiver.
I found that you had to upgrade the GPS drivers from 2.06 or 2.07 (which came with my Tom Tom software) to 3.07 as these are the only ones that work with WM2003 SE. You can download them from the Tom Tom website.
Cheers

thank you all. I've finally managed to get it working.
Discovered the problem was with my laptop rather then anything to d with the MDA Compact or TomTom.
Thanks all

Yes , I have . What do you want to know . :lol:
Yes is working fine. The only thing is that I can't put in the acces points from T-mobile. Flitspalen isn't a problem.

Does it work fine with a 200 Mhz proccesor off the MSA Vario??
Isn't Slow?
You need to forget all about the 200mhz thing, it's a texas instruments CPU not Intel so isn't relevant. It's a dual core CPU as well don't forget.
In my experience TomTom5 seems slightly slower starting up initially maybe 1-2 minutes but after it has started i personally think it out performs my old Blue Angel. route planning is pretty quick and re-planning if you make a mistake seems to happen in a split second.

HELPPPPPPPP
I had the same problem, then I found somewhere on the TomTom website that the MDA Vario (K-Jam) needs the 5.21 upgrade to work. This worked like a charm. I presume this is now the version they ship as TomTom 5 as the compatibility list now includes the K-Jam: http://www.tomtom.com/products/features.php?ID=109&Language=1

Hallo, did you install the "old" version 5.0 software first and than upgrade5.21 over ? Or can I use the file "Upgrade 5.21" as a pure initeal installation of TomTom ?
I did the original install like you where nothing seems to happen after the install, then ran the 5.21 update and everything works.
tomtom on MDA vario
Hi, I have downloaded a lot of cracks for tomtom 5.21 and replaced the .exe file on the MDA Vario but tomtom does not start. It just hangs??? I tries with an other MDA Vario and I had the same problem. I can not be the only one with this problem I hope you can help me.
Get a proper patch frot tomtom 5.21 not duff ones that make the system hang and do pretty much squat all.
I have the same question I use the cracked file to replace the original one, then I start tomtom5 it hang up at first when there appear the import notice. by the way, I install 5.21,anyone can help me. many thanks.
Had the same problem sounds like you are mssng the Currentmap.dat file missng
Make a folder in My Documents called TomTom and place the CurrentMap.dat file in it
You can find the file here.

tom tom 5.12 on mda vario
Hi
I have tomtom 5.12 on my sd card with all the files,it is for pocketpc and when I insert the card into my t-mobile mda vario I get an autorun which I accept, it then shows the tomtom 5 screen and a few seconds later it disappears and goes back to the today screen, it has done nothing, nothing has installed
any ideas please help
As my old trusty XDA11 has packed up, I now have a new o2 XDA mini 's' (Wizard). Trouble is, Tomtom Navigator 3 (as worked ok on the XDA11), won't install. Tomtom tell me it's incompatible, but the guy in the o2 shop assured me that I would find a work-around on here. Well I've looked, and I can't find any.
Can anyone help please?
The Guys at the phone-shops are total n00bs... They even don't know what a PocketPC is. TomTom 3 isn't working on WM5. Even TomTom 5 need a installer modification to work.
Yeah I know, but this guy completely bullshitted me that he knew all about XDA's! Guess I'll have to fork out again for 5.21
Hi all,
I have got TomTom 7 working on my SPV M5000 PDA but I can not get TomTom Home 2 t0 see it.

I have got TomTom installed on the the Device and not on the SD card. I am using McDonald_TTNav7.450.9028_Repack3.7z QVGA the Blue one.
I am using Tomal's - v7.7: WM6.1 Pro Rom
Many Thanks for any Information /Help

Michael
Just curious, why do you need the Home application to see it?
So that I can use Mapshare and update them.
What is the most reliable Sat Nav software for MDA Vario II? I have been looking at Garmin Mobile XT or Co-Pilot 7
Just wondered about any reccomendations?
Any comments would be much appreciated
people report various success with different software depending on where they are in the world for map covering and updates
fair point, well I'm in the UK so does anyone know the best ones for UK coverage?
Thanks
I'm in the UK and use Tom Tom on my Touch Diamond, it works really well. Have only just got myself a Hermes (£25) so have yet to try any sat nav software on, yet.....
TomTom
I've used TomTom software on all the following devices with excellent results:
- SPV M500 (Magician)
- SPV M3100 (Hermes)
- HTC Touch HD (Blackstone)
IGO 7 works like charm on my hermes.
Cheers
what version of Tom Tom is reccomended? I have Windows Mobile 6
Thanks
The Tomtom ripped from the tytn II is OK, Tomtom 7. You do need to purchase the maps though...
Can anyone confirm that TomTom 6 works on the Hermes?
or what is the best version to run and why?
Thanks
I can confirm both tomtom 6 & tomtom 7 both work fine on hermes.
For tomtom 7 you can get the more recent maps, but it requires more ram to run. When I was running a m2d rom I had tomtom 7 close randomly on me a few times. No problems if you have more than about 15MB ram free though.
I like Tomtom 7, have no problem running it on my Jasjam... As I said though, you need to purchase the maps. The best things in life don't always come for free...
