Tomtom Navigator 5 and windows mobile 2005 backlight problem - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

This is the first time on this forum. I have just purchased tomtom 5 Navigator and upgraded my xda 2 to windows mobile 2005. Everytime I switch the tomtom on the backlight goes out and resets back to default.
I have installed PHM regedit on my xda 2 but I do not know what files to chage to stop this. Many thanks.

someone out there must have a solution please i have the same problem its a pain please help

Hi There
Here is the modified file it should help for your backlight prob
just replace your exe file in your navigator with the attached file and change the file name as yours.
but make sure you take the backup or save your file somewhere on the computer if something goes wrong so you can come back to where you are now.

Well actually there are several maps and gps software for cyprus (imagine that!)

Where could you buy TomTom 7? I have Navigator 6 installed and can't find a way to buy Nav 7.
ok great thx, for all this aswers
could you please make screenshots of your navigation software?
how does it look on a 800x480 screen? resized, black bar, skewed, small icons.. ?
thanks.
There will be a Co-Pilot specific version coming out - http://blog.copilotlive.net/?p=208
I presume v7 works fine, but just doesn't make the most of the resolution.
Guys,
If you have a Navigation program 'successfully' working on your machine could you post it at the topic 'Programs/Utilites & Games ~ working on the Touch HD' here~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442663

How did you get the software up and running?
Whenever I try to start the program (installation works fine), it crashes after the starting screen saying the specific resolution can't be loaded/found.
Have you changed the sys.txt in any way?
Where did you get you version from.
Did you try the skin supporting 800x480 resolution?

TomTom Navigator 6 working on HD
Is it possible that someone can check if TomTom 6 Navigator is working on Touch HD because i want to use this application that i already have.
It wil make my choice very easy then!
Thanks
Why would HTC make a phone that, on the face of it, seems to have a lot of programs that just won't work, particularly my (ancient) TomTom6. And what about TCMP ? How would I run my videos ? I'm after one as well, but am now a little nervous that it may be false economy.
i cant get TomTom 6 to work. could be something that i am doing, anyone else having this problem?

Me too. I got my Touch HD this morning and tomtom 6 won't even start up. I think part of it is because of the screen resolution of the Touch HD
Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.20wp works fine (have only tried SA March 2008 mapset). So far no obvious problems experienced though I have not extensively tested everything.
I also loaded MobiTrak's HandyMAP Pro PPC V5.2 (Build 1129) with SA and USA maps. The program Handymap2.exe fails when switching maps, and once a map is opened it won't open again (file not found error). A soft reset does not fix this problem.

Getting TomTom to work

I tried installed 3 different versions of TomTom 6.01 & 6.03 (I'm licensed) v7.XX (out of desperation I wanted to see if I could get any version running)
Version 6 gives memory access violation.
I sometimes get the TomTom opening in triple tiny view at the top of the screen.
I can't install v7 it says this version is not suitable for this device.
I've spent hours on this and I just can't get it to work. Has anyone else been experiencing this? Can anyone that managed to get TomTom working, tell me how?
Many thanks,

Hi,
Many thanks for trying to help but I've already seen this post and unfortunately it doesn't help. I tried to install the same version 7 but it says something like device not compatible and the earliest version of 6 that I have been able to find was 6.01.
I've spent many hours on the this problem, I've already searched here and all over the web. It looks to me like only a few people have been lucky to get it working.
If I don't get Tomtom working soon then I'll be sending the Touch HD back. I would appreciate any suggestions. I don't know if it's possibly an issue about missing dlls.
Thanks,
ok thats strange, but i cant help you anymore because i dont have any Touch HD.
But i hope for you that someone will help you.

The problem is that Tom Tom6 maps won't work on Tom Tom7. If you have a world wide collection of maps like me, it's going to cost a fortune to buy all new maps.
Has anyone figured out a way to get Tom Tom 6.03 working on the HD? Surely it is a matter of tweaking??
Edit: It's not a matter of Tweaking. I found a 7.450.9028 cab in my archives from another one of my devices. I was surprised to find that this version WILL work with TomTom 6.75 maps but not lower. Fortunately all of my maps were 6.75 so I'm good to go The only thing/problem is the text and keyboard are small.
I've managed to find an old cab file for 6.00 and it worked straight away! It has all my previous maps and POI from the memory card working fine. I can live with using 6.00 instead of 6.30 so long as it's stable/reliable.
Cheers,
Hi Matterhorn!
I hope to be trying this later today. What steps did you take to try to install Tom Tom 6.03 ? I have this from my TyTn II CD and updated my maps a few months ago.
I have Tom Tom home installed on my PC and was hoping to get Tom Tom home to see the Touch HD as a new device and install to it.
I will post here what I find happens with my attempts.

TOMTOM 7
I own realy a Touch Hd. For 3 days now.I've installed Tomtom 7,450 VGA.
It works perfectly and with Gsen even horizontal.
I also didn't notice any GPS lag. So what are those people talkinh about.
I suspect that I the only have an HD in their imagination.
I have version 6.010 and i installed it, i hoped for a working install but it doesn't work at all, boot logo from tomtom is showing after that it's crashing like hell, so i founded somewhere a 6.000 CAB file and that's running perfectly on the Touch HD. very strange to me , normaly should newer version have more compatibility solutions.
TomTom 7.450 works on HD
try to find ttn7 with 12.063 MByte. This version works very fine and I'm surpriced about the GPS speed.

Is there any difference is speed when using 2D or 3D maps ? I read somewhere on this forum that someone experienced better speeds ( no lag ) using 2D maps ?!?!
I use Destinator 7 and I am looking to buy HD within a month. I am wondering if anyone can share their experience using Destinator 7 on this device.
Cheers.

A few people are saying that ttn7 works fine for them. It didn't work for me but maybe I just got a duff cab/version. But as licensed (v6) user with lots of maps and a traffic subscription (the subscription would probably be ok but maps definitely not) I prefer to stick with version 6 for now. Tomtom looks great on the big screen and is quick smooth and reliable so I'm happy. Done some short runs with gsen and all seems good there too.

TomTom Navigator 6

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but I couldn't dig it out.
I have fully licensed Navigator 6 software, and TT has promised be a new activation code after I have transferred to my HD2 from my TyTn II.
I can get the TT6 cabs onto my HD2 and get the HD2 recognized by TT Home 1.5. But when TT installs, it throws up a configuration screen that is obviously in the wrong screen resolution and conflicts with the HTC operating system overlay.
Can anyone offer an work around, since I see that some have obviously overcome the problem already?
Stephen
My researches continue. It seems no-one has ever successfully run TTN6 on the HD2. It would in theory be possible if the apps to lower the screen resolution would work with WM 6.5; but they don't
Meanwhile TomTom has discontinued sale of TTN7 Windows, although it remains available for the iPhone.

sorry mate if you are referring to tomtom version 6.000, i have it on my HD2 nd it is working perfectly, i had it on my HTC Diamond and Diamond2. I have it installed on my sd card
Is the screen resolution ok? I can't get the set-up screen in the correct resolution after firing up the cab and installing successfully off the SD card. Did you just put the old SD card from the Diamond 2 into the HD2?

all working good...did not have to do anything...just installed the cab on the sd card and opened the application and located the maps et voila
NB: I used the same micro sd that i used to have in my Diamond 2 and the cab was on it
you have a private message...check it out
Stephen, I have exactly the same problem. If you get this to work please let me know how
Thanks
gdayhtc was able to resolve the problem for me. It is obviously a question of some cabs working and some not. The cabs on my TomTom DVD did not. I have tested TT6 today: it worked fine. Will go to landscape when the HD2 is tilted (after a tweak) and does not interfere with bluetooth.
Could you post the cab you are using now?
Please pass your request to ericjennings.
Hi, i am also having the same issue, can i share the same request? thanks.

Hello, I see you have found a way to get TomTom 6 to work with WM 6.5. I'd like to get it to run properly on my lg expo. It runs in landscape with the keyboard out but I have 3 panels side by side of the same screen. Forget about it in portrait—the screen is a garbled and smushed at the top of the lg screen. I've tried both cabs ttn.cab & ttn2003.cab found on my original dvd. Please help. Thanks

You need to install WVGAFIX4 in your window mobile 6.5 device. Check out the forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455974 .
Once installed then install the TTN 6 as normal BUT run the WVGAFIX4 before running the TTN 6 in your mobile.
