Ok I am trying to get TomTom running on my 8125. It seems as though I have everything set up right, but when it takes me to the choose a map page, it just hangs there. I have tried US maps, and a Great Britan map, but nothing happens. Anyone know what the problem could be? IT is really driving me insane. Also, I dont see anywhere where to set up GPS unit.
setup.dat?
Do you have a file called setup.dat in \storagecard\my documents\tomtom? You need this file for TomTom to work.
I have to check, I uninstalled it the other day, because i was getting very frustrated. You wouldnt have an installer, or know where to find one at would you?
What kind of TOMTOM are you using?
The maps are in specific format and secondly it depends what kind of tomtom you are using. I mean original or cracked. Post it and i can let you know how to set it up. It's not hard. Works fine on mine 8125 with Holux GpSlim 236.
Take care.
Hummer, I been trying to post my program here but it is too big. Are you running a cracked or a clean version? I have been trying to use a cracked one i found somewhere, but having trouble installing it.
How to...
I am using 5.21 cracked. got it from emule. What you need to do is copy the file on your sd card and then execute it in the pocket pc. then do not open it. Copy the cracked folder in my documents and then replace tomtom.exe file with the cracked exe file, which is inside the crack folder. You can find the original one in program--Navigator. Replace it and install whatever voice you want and then run it. You will be able to bypass activation. Copy the maps in the sd card and your software will detect the maps and you will be good to go.
let me know if it works.
take care.
TomTom 5.21 Success on 8125
The key to TomTom 5.21 is that most of the maps running around (at least for the US) are too old to be recognized by 5.21. The maps need to be 567 (that's V5.67) or greater.
Get everything you need right here:

:wink:
Initially I had problems with getting tom tom 5.21 to recognize the maps I copied over to the sd card. I actually had to install the maps from the setup cd from an earlier version. Everything is working smooth now.
Latest USA maps????
I have USA and Canda maps and they work fine with my 8125 but the only problem i have is that these maps are old and don't show my neighbourhood and many other places even though all these places are there for the past 3 years.
Can anyone tell me where can i get the latest maps or may be the recent one that will work.
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks
Latest USA maps????
I need latest US maps for my 8125. Please help! The version of TomTom is 5.21
Thanks!
Here you go - all the US maps can be downloaded from here : http://www.tomtom.com/plus/services/mds.php
in My documents >>> tomtom folder....
do you have a file called CurrentMap.Dat
it needs this file to recognise maps. the file does nothing but needs to be there.
you can make a file in notepad and send it to your ppc, just make sure the file name is correct
anyone tried tt7n on the titan? i cant get it to installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401619
I also get an error when installing. A few folks have extracted the files from the cab, renamed the files according to the xml included, and are able to use it. Now just waiting on someone to kindly post those files, but it seems like it should work soon enough.
i used wince cab manager to extract the files to the appropriate folders. still no go. when launch, it still says that the app is not compatible with the device.
here is a cab file that will work on the titan.... don't ask where to find maps you're on your own

Map won't work
I have TomTom 6 with all my maps, but they won't work with this TomTom 7. Anyone knows what I can do? Maybe where to place the files?
What is the difference in TT6 and TT7?
works
Just installed Tom Tom 7.450.9028 with USA_and_Canada 720.1803 map and it works just fine.
Be sure to put the Map and Voices in their own folder on the storage card
I have Garmin XT 50 and Tom Tom 7 on my device - both work fine. Waiting to try IGO8 whenever they finally release the version 8 maps. Come on NAV-N-GO !!!
I still prefer using my bluetooth GPS versus the onboard GPS

anyone got tomtom home and mapshare to work with the titan? a couple of ppl got it to work with the kaiser.
Interesting...
I currently have the latest TT6 with latest 675.xx U.S. maps. What actual changes/improvements can we expect in TT7?
I was also wondering if they have fixed an annoying bug in TT6. Any time you launch TT6 it ALWAYS defaults to disabling Audio and you have to manually go into preferences and enable it _twice_ before you get sound. This is a documented, well known issue and it deals with how TT6 detects the radio as an active data connection and thus mutes audio since it thinks a communication is open (or something like that, may have it wrong). I believe it is designed to work like this as its present in all builds but it is a bit annoying.

ttn7 interface had some touch up, but remain pretty much the same as tt6. however, there are several big improvements, including the ability to use newer map and the ability of mapshare/map correction, and stronger and better routing engine. newer map is always better. all of the verson tt 6 maps were missing my cousin new area and my girlfriend's neighborhood. version 7 map has them. i havent got a chance to get mapshare working with my titan yet, but hope it would work one day. i tested the routing with tt7 by entering several destinations that im familiar with, such as my brothers and my sisters's places, parents and friends home, and tt7 gives me the best route that i would likely take. with the destinations that i have tried, i can say that routing of tt7 is much better than, iguidance, garmin xt, and tt6.
the voice/audio bug that you mentioned with tt6 6.032 is not there in tt7. for the same reason, i used tt6 6.02 instead of 6.032. tt6.02 doesnt have this issue. for some reasons, tt6.032 doesnt see your voice file at launch.
Just got this going right now after an interesting install. Works great, love having the newest map and engine. If anyone needs a walkthrough PM me and I will help as much as I can.
How do you install the maps I have the USA_and_ Canada_720.1803. Its over 800 MBs, that wont fit on my phone. Do i need just certain files out of the map folder?

You will need to put the map and voices folders on the root of the sd card. The program cab should be run and they will find each other.
Is there another mirror for the app (not the maps, the app)? The one posted earlier in this thread was removed from rapidshare, and this one doesn't seem to work on the titan.

I was wondering this as well.
Hello everybody,
first of all, this is not a post about warez, since I am talking about new western europe map v. 7.25 I have just bought from tomtom.com.
Well, before I had installed on my Cruise tomtom navigator 7 that I got from this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401679), and everything seemed to work fine: I could download the free test map, and also free voices. Then I wanted to buy and install the new western europe (v. 7.25) map, that is available from a few days on tomtom.com. To this purpose I created an account, registerd my device as a TomTom navigator 7 one, and then went to map shop and bought the map. Then I downloaded and installed tomtom home 2.3, and I tried to install the map on my device using it, I can see the map I bought but I am getting an error message that says that the map is not compatible with my device.
Can anybody help me?
Sorry for error!
Remember no warez here, edit your post.

Have you tried copying the card to your sd card? Just to the root folder?
As far as I know there might be still a problem with activating the card.

I cannot just download the map, the only way tomtom allows you to download it is using tomtom home, which says that my device is not compatible, so I have nothing to copy anywhere..
I don't know but is there a update or new version to make Tomtom, Tomtom 7.25?
Hey mate, sorry to hear that you have problems. I would like to know if there is a way to get this working myself before I buy a ver7 map myself.
I know there has been someone else getting this to work in this forum. Maybe you an set the device to something else for the SD Card in TomTom Home. If it doesn't work while the card is in the phone maybe try it in a card reader. Think that should work. Let me know if you have success
Cheers
I'm running TomTom 7.450 on my Polaris, and I'm using the Map of Norway,
Finland, Sweden and Denmark v7.20 without problems. The maps need to be purchased and installed via TomTom Home 2 (Set your device av TomTom 720).

These maps are not anymore available for TomTom 720, at least in Italian site now if you register as 720 you can only buy 8.10 maps that are not compatible with tomtom7, at least to my knowledge. If you register as a tomtom 7 device, as for example a vodafone touch diamond, you can buy 7.25 maps, as I have done, but then you get the "impossible to install on this device" error if you try to download them.
may be it is not for One
Not completely sure but maps for One devices are not always compatile with normal PPC tomtom version.
I had this kind of problem with Tomtom 6 - bought maps for tomtom 6 One and those were incompatible.
After talking to Tomtom support they changed my subscription.
Unfortunately I never used tomtomv7 but instead got iGo8.
I have amanged to get tomtom 7.450 and it is working, i have downloaded the free map of London and all is fine.
However i want to add additional maps and this is where i get stuck. I have TT6 maps and would like to use them, i know that others have got this to work. However i cant access using tom tom home as the latest version of TT Home does not recognise the TomTom version 7 on my HD.
Is there another way to load the TT6 maps from the DVD to the device?
Can i get TT Home to work to transfer the maps, i did hear that TT Home 1.5 may be the answer but i cant find any where to download it?
Any help much appreciated
warning on the TomTom website when ordering maps for Navigator 7:
Remark "Please note that maps for Navigator 7 are only compatible with devices that have this software pre-installed. Please ensure that you have Navigator 7 installed on your device before purchasing a map."
The maps for Navigator 7 are 8.15 maps.
TomTom v7 is not supposed to be running on a hTC touch HD
tomtom HOME 2.5 is the one you need to install maps for Navigator 7. you can download tomtom HOME from the tomtom website (one of the few items you can download for free)
I am using Tom Tom Home 2.5 and it tells me that i am using an incompatable version of Tom Tom Navigator for my device and thus i cant install anything, to be honest that is why i am looking to install the maps without using tom tom home, or using tom tom home 1.5 which appears may work with the HD
TT7 does not support TT6 maps,
install tt6 instead, simple.

Can i ask if you have TOMTOM working on your HD:
What version of TT?
What version of the Maps?
Did you use TT Home and if so what version?
If you did not use TT Home how did you load the maps?
Sorry to be a pain but this is driving me nuts! and i really want to get this to work
I have been really stupid. I have installed TomTom7 9.10.9185 and it is working fine, I then purchased v8.15 maps for UK & Ireland but the link I have been sent just tells me to download through TT Home 2.5, which as you know isn't an option.
Is there anyway of downloading the maps that I have purchased from a direct link? Or can I get a refund?
ScarySquirrel
Look if it makes you feel better I have TomTom7 9.10.9185 running and Home 2.5.1.36 and as you know I have the westen map.
I downloaded the home of the tomtom site and set it to pocketpc.

To be honest I dont remember.
Here is however what I do remeber.
There was a thread around that told you how to copy files onto your SD card that made Home think that you had a different version as a device (pass on whihc one but is one of those hardware boxes for your car).
I used this and it worked fine, so then Home said it needed to update, after doing that I scaned for devices and it found a pocket pc.
So try the scan for device whilest connected else see if you can find that thread. it was a long time ago, sorry, not trying to be an A** but I just cant remember.

TomTom Home 1.5 worked great for me as it recognized the mircoSD card first in my Kaiser and then also a card in the HD. To locate TTHome 1.5 Google: fixya tomtom home 1.5. This then allowed me to move my 6.75 Western US States maps from one card/device to the other.
TT7.910.9185 works perfectly, thanks do Dr_S, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432410&page=10
TomTom has been posted on the forums for years now. This is the latest version (specifically the VGA/WVGA version) that works with the Touch Pro 2. I have custom packaged it so that it will not mess up an existing Bluetooth stack, as well as removing the Today plugin (which I personally think is garbage).
If this package somehow violated the TOS of this site (I can't imagine how, a quick search produces multiple links on these forums), then I apologize. TomTom doesn't seem to make available/support the software for Windows Mobile PDAs on their Website (iPhone is there though, how odd). Their policy has always seemed to be the sale of maps, so I'm releasing these packages with that in mind.
Note: DO NOT ask me for maps. Do not ask any question about where to get them. Purchase v8 maps from TomTom. If you use software, support the developer (so they can keep their job and make better/new software) by actually PAYING for it. I know, its a novel concept.

great thanks been looking for a version that works on tp2 for ages now does this work with tomtom home?
just curious went to the tomtom site to purchase the maps for this app. options it gives me is for maps for touch pro but not touch pro 2 does it matter would it have mattered if i p icked anyone arnt the maps all the same?
No, the phone you have doesn't matter. You just have to make sure the maps you are using will work with the version of Navigator you are using.
so im guessing based on that version 7.9 the version 8 mapps will work. However on the site i go to maps for HTC touch pro and under US it only gives me brazil or mexico I cant seem to purchase v8 maps for US. It couldnt be that difficult could it? Also i installed the app from the post but at the end it tellsme the voice options are not avail- was that stripped from this version? So if i can get my hands on the maps will the voice options all return? by voice I mean the person giiving the directions you can pick from anyone and all say no avail to me
Thanks for posting that. I'm another who's been looking for a while to get this to work on my TP2. Tomtom say it won't work & is not compatible with the TP2 but I've just downloaded the one free area map they allow and it works well. All my customers over the next few days are within this map area so I'll be testing it heavily. If it passes that test, I'll pay for the European map from TomTom.
Thanks again.
curious do you need a data plan to use the gps function tomtom? I mean if i bought a tomtom i dont need a data plan so it seems it wouldnt need one on the phone either right since the gps is built in and you just need to capture the satellite signal?
thanks a lot!

For the moment you can receive GPS signals for free
The rapidshare link has exceeded the limit.
OK, I have bought TT7 on microSD - prefviously used on my Kaiser.
I have been trying to install on the TP2, but until now it always gave the 'This product is not compatible with your device' message.
I have copied the contents of the TT7 disc onto my 16gb MicroSD, then installed this cab over the top successfully.
I can now get into the application, but it will not accept the activation code - either that code that came with the TT7 disk, or the code from the maps I previously bought for TT6 (which I migrated to TT7 on the kaiser).
Any ideas? Has anyone successfully used their TP2 with TomTom Home to activate maps etc.?
When I try to link to TomTom Home it says I have an 'invalid version' - so can't transfer my subscriptions. This makes this pretty pointless - as I can't activate a map and can't use TomTom 7 at all.
Has anyone managed to use this successfully?
CoPilot is the way to go for GPS Navigation. I just purchased mine for under $40. I've been using TomTom for a couple years but for those of you interested in going the legit route. Copilot Live 8 should suffice.
thanks
worked like a charm. good job

just curious and this is a noob question. why would i need the data plan i presume for the maps or routing? when i open the tom tom it never gives me gps signal however if i connect to wifi within seconds i get gps signal? i cant seem to rout anywhere the maps all show blank until i connect to wifi?

TT7
OK, to make looong story, short........that was about 2-3 years ago i owned a Kaiser and then i had a Navigator 6. Therefore i had an account with TT. I tried iPhone, G1, MyTouch, then few days ago i got Rhodium, and now I needed my TT back. I found that link to d/l TT7, installed it, downloaded a free map, worked well. Then i downloaded a TomTomHome from TT website, after installation, it prompted me to get a newer version, so i did. Unfortunately, that new ver kept showing me that my ver of installed software is not a good version, and i couldn't do anything. I wasn't even able to link my Rhodium to my old account . So i have unistalled that new ver of TT Home, got the older version again from their website, when it prompted me again to get newer one, i just pressed "no". Then i bought new maps, downloaded it, created a new "yahoo" email address, created new account with TT, linked me new phone to the site, installed new maps, tested, works perfectly! It seems like big effort, but it was worthed to get new TT7 for only $69, wasn't it?
That way might not work for everyone, i just wanted to share with you guys, how i did it. The only pain in the ......., was that i had to wait close to 1 hour to get those maps d/l, and another 30 or so minutes to get it installed. But, what the hack................

Interesting - which version of TomTom Home are you using? Is it version 2? (I don't think version 1 even recognises TT7). You don't know anywhere I can download a previous version do you? Thanks - you've given me some hope!
