I have got TomTom 5.21 running a treat on my MDA Vario, but I have to install the voices, postcode and other plug-ins on my device (not on the storage card). If I put them on the storage card it won’t recognise them? Anybody got any ideas why? It’s not a massive issue at the moment, but as the Postcode app is 9mb, it’s a lot of data space to lose.
anyone any ideas?

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?
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

I thought it may be of use to future TT5 users. Today I bought TT5 Navigator in the UK from Dixons (yeah hate the shop too but it was an impulse buy). There was no CD supplied but instead a 128mb SD card was in the box with TT5 and the UK maps. After I copied this to my mini SD it installed perfectly first time, straight out of the box. Having checked in the preferences the version is 5.210 (5430).
Unfortunately it doesn't rotate the screen when I slide the keyboard out. But at least they seem to have fixed the installation.
EDIT: I have an O2 XDA Mini S but did not install any of the O2 software.
But you can flip the screen in the TomTom setup all four ways
hiya
does TT5 works on the xda exec as well??
i am trying to install TT5. it came on a cd. loading instructions said to copy zip file to my documenys on xda exec and great britian maps on sd card then synchronise the xda and run cd and it should go fine. but this does not happen ? anybody knows about this problem?

How well do you find it runs on the Wizard?
I'm in pretty much exactly the same position, although I have a slightly older 5.0 version which I'm running on my X50V. It seems daft to take both the X50V and XDA Mini S so I'm looking to get Tomtom on the Mini S - my main concern is battery draw, I assume you're using a BT GPS receiver, how quickly does it run down?
On another note, anyone know what the activation limits are for Tomtom? I've activated it once around October last year on the X50V, the Wizard is obviously a different device.

@mohammadasif
had the same problem installing TT5 on my wizard.
TT5 installation does check the capacity of your memory card and quits without any message ich it's insufficient.
After installing a 1G SD card everything went well.

Would there be any chance you could zip all of the files up and upload them somewhere? You need a license code to activate the software, so it wouldn't be illegal. It's just that alot of people seem to be having problems.
I have recently bought the TomTom5 application and have been able to install it no probs onto my wizard (actually an MDA Vario with a Mr. Clean flash ROM!).
The problems I am having revolve around the memory card. I have used a Moby 2gb mini-sd card for nearly a year and have encountered no problems. However the TomTom programme refuses to recognise it and load the maps from either of my computers.
Does anyone know why this could be? The TomTom people even provided a replacement CD but to no avail
Any help gratefully received

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
