Some people tried to install TT5 on their Wizard but could not get ttn.CAB to install. I have found a great workaround on howardforums.com, all credits go to JayTheMagician:
- use win CE cab manager and extract the files (there should be 3) from within the cab ttn on your PC (download WIN CE Cab Manager from http://www.ocpsoftware.com/download.php?nm=cecabmgr
- then create a directory in /my device/Program files and call it 'Navigator'.
- Now copy data.chk and tom tom navigator in here.
- Then create another directory in /My documents, call it 'Tomtom', and copy remaining file called 'currentmap' in here.
This works!!! Good Luck!
Why not simply use the version of TomTom that is WM5 compliant?
Because most people already have TT 5.0 so they need to upgrade to 5.21. In order to do so, they must first get their full install of tt 5.0 working on the new device before they can upgrade. .
I'm not using it. But you won't tell me that TomTom makes a new version available, that can only be installed over a version that is not compatible and not installable? Is there no cab file in the 5.21 update?
TTN5 5.21 install without problems to ppc that not have previous navigators installed (you don't need TTN 5.0 or 5.1).
Only run the exe in your pc to install it, then copy the voice cab file from your original installation CD directly to ppc and install it.

Can anyone post the 2nd cd that holds the files for xda2i, i have broken mine and cant seem to get the files from tomtom website, they look like they are no longer there...pleeeeez help! :shock:
I wasnt aware that any special files for xda existed on tomtom software discs, what are they and what is their purpose?
i installed the app off the regular benelux installer, then manually added the uk map
If it is the main tomtom program you are after you can download any of the upgrades from www.tomtom.com and then download the voice files and then manually add the map and directory to your sd card manually. I thought you meant specific files for your pda, sorry.

Hi,
have updated my Qtek 9100 to the new ROM.
When I insert a SD-Card nothing happens.
On my SD-Card is a folder named 2577 with an Programfile Autorun.exe.
On the old Version the Autorun.exe was started after inserting the same SD-Card.
Any idea ?
the only time i've seen that directory is after a TomTom Navigator installation. did you install that recently?
Folder 2577
Yes g0nk you are correct - this folder is with reference to TomTom.
For some reason this folder conflicts with Windows Mobile 5 version - the only way to install the program is by accessing the folder manually and selecting the autorun program - it should then install the rest of the application as normal!
No, I use it for myself with mortscript.
I have made a autoinstaller using mortsript which installs certain files when inserting the sd-card.
So it's not the TomTom one.
But still there is a problem with the new ROM (ore the CABs from Qtek).

The old rom of mine had the same problem... i've double clicked the ttn.cab file to install TomTom 5.21..
For those interested, I installed TomTom 5.00 on my 8125 tonight and it is now working perfectly.
Here is how I did it.
Create a new folder on your SD card and copy all of the CAB and INI files except for ttn.cab and ttn.ini to your SD card from D:\pocketPC (assuming D:\ is your CDROM drive containing TomTom install CD)
Run all the cab files in whatever folder you just made (on the 8125, NOT on your PC)
Download WinCE Cab Manager and install it
Open up D:\pocketpc\ttn.cab using WinCE Cab Manager
Copy the data.chk file from the CAB to your \program files\Navigator directory on your 8125
Copy TomTom Navigator.exe from the CAB to program files/Navigator on the 8125
Copy CurrentMap.dat from the CAB to \My Documents\TomTom on the 8125
Open D:\voice\voice09.cab with WinCE cab manager.
Copy the data09.chk file to \program files\Navigator on your 8125 (this will give you the "Robert" voice as default, you have to have at least one voice installed)
Copy any maps you need to the root of the SD card.
Pair your bluetooth GPS receiver with your phone and assign it an OUTGOING com port under the com port section of the BlueTooth connections utility in WM2005. Remember what COM port you gave it.
Copy \Program Files\Navigator\navigator.cfg from your 8125 to your desktop.
Open navigator.cfg in a text editor. You will see a reference to COMn where n is any number. Change n to the COM port number that you assigned your bluetooth GPS to. Save the navigator.cfg file and copy it back over to \Program Files\Navigator\
THATS IT!
Its alot of steps, but I now have TT 5.00 working on my 8125.
Let me know if you use this method, and if it works. It worked like a charm for me.
FIne for the install but how do you get the maps from the 6 cd's to the sd card?

on most roms there is no tomtom included - but you can get the software free from the tomtom website - you only have to pay for the maps...

thx. i found it but the cab in the link didn't work.
here is a direct link given by petervbeck above:

Extract the file to your computer and look for 2577 folder. You only need the ttn.cab file. Copy ttn.cab to your PDA via activesync and use file explorer on your PDA to install it.
