I saw a thread on how to do it manually, but it linked to a site which isn't there anymore.
If someone has more than one, can they tell me what their currentmap.dat file looks like? It's in my documents/tomtom/ on the device itself (not on the SD card).
Thanks,
Joe
Try TomTom site
I'm sure I followed the instructions on the TomTom Plus site. I installed the France map alongside the GB and it works fine. Can't look at my currentmap file, but I will and let you know.
Thanks for the reply. I did a search but couldn't find the information you referred to on the site.

Hi
On my Medion PDA, I just downloaded new maps and put them in a separate folder next to the orginal Benelux. These then show up inTT when you want to switch maps.

I purchased the maps of the USA for my tomtom 3 at a cost of £100 to use on my XDA
but the wizard wont run tomtom 3
Is there anyway to get tomtom 5 to use these maps or else that was a waste of £100 :shock:

Hi,
Going to the states next week so i wanted to add new york and nevada maps for tomtom. I have placed the maps onto my mini sd card but tomtom can only find my original great britain map that i use daily. How can i use these usa maps? I think it's something to do with the current map file but i aint sure what i'm doing. Any ideas.
cheers
just stating the obvious, but have you tried changing map???
yes gone into preferences in tomtom to change maps but only map visable is great britain map?
I'm assuming you're running the updated tomtom version 5.21 and trying to install version 5.0/5.1 maps. These will not work, and you will not be able to see them in the map selection screen. I believe maps from version 5.0 are labeled as 566, while maps for tt 5.21 are 567. In the folder of the map you are trying to load look for a file named (statename).pna, if you open this with wordpad on your pc you will see which version map it is (probably 566).
I don't believe tomtom has released single US maps for version 5.21 yet (maps version 567). To get the 566 maps to work you will probably have to downgrade your tomtom navigator .exe to 5.0, however if you're using a bluetooth gps reciever it will probably stop working since this version does not accept ports 6/7. I'm in that boat right now
yeah that right just checked and the maps are for tomtom 5 not 5.21!!! dam needed them asap aswell. nevermind
im running tomtom 5.210 and in the verion info it states GB map ver562 and both the map and blutooth on port 7 works fine for me.
us maps
How did you get the USA maps to work on version 5.21.??? I have tried everything that I can to get it to work with no joy....
I am just hoping that new maps are release before I go to the states later in the year.
I am open to any suggestions / advice on how to get them to work...
Hi,
I too am using the 5.21 upgrade and all my maps still work, GB Map v562, France Plus v571 and Australia v568, application version 5.210 gps driver v1.20.
no problems with maps at all, have you tried downloading them again......
Limewire has them
cheers

I would ask TomTom tech support or get a refund if I were you .....
You can just use the old 5.0 exe.
Replace the 5.21 "tomtom navigator.exe" in program files\navigator with the old 5.0 one.
Just remember to first back up your 521 exe!
I do this all the time as in the States a lot.
If you just own 5.21 and don't have the old exe the suggest you download it from a torrent - you've paid for version "5" afterall.
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:
http://www.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/index.php/t-270346.html
: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
I am soon to buy TomTom for my pocket PC. I was wondering if you knew if the Tom Tom CD is the best software format for my TyTN II. I was also wondering which TomTom software is the latest and most suitable software for my HTC TyTNII.

I've also browsed the Tom Tom website. Here are the links for the TomTom software for pocketpc's
http://www.tomtom.com/products/category.php?ID=2&Lid=1
Is there a difference, and which is the latest TomTom version?

I believe the latest Official release for PPC is Tomtom version 6.03.8320 although there was a version 6.032.8351 which was distributed with HTC P3600i phones. Make sure that you get as a minimum version 6.030.8320 as it is faster...more stable and recognises the built-in GPS. Of the earlier versions only version 6.00 and 6.01 were official releases...6.1 and 6.2 were not "Official" release.
I bought TomTom6 a week ago from www.gpscanada.com and my version is 6.01, paid 145.00 + 10.00 CAD for shipping. I have a tilt and GPS works perfect

Cool. Now on the query is where I can find the 6.03.8320 or the later 6.032.8351. I've tried googling for it but to little avail.
I've browsed the Tom Tom website in the PDA/pocket pc section and still can't find it.

Thanks. I prefer to purchase the latest though. I also need the maps for the UK. By the way, I take it you bought the DVD version?
Hi all. Update:
I've just got off the phone with a TomTom adviser from TomTom company (www.tomtom.com). They have told me the following.
I was told by by the advisor that I have to create account with TomTom. I then have to select navigator 6 model on the website and select the map types I want to purchase.
They told me that the latest updated maps for the UK cost £29.95 and maps for western europe cost £39.95.
I signed up with them and gave them email. Here is what they sent me by email:
Thank you for contacting TomTom Customer Support.

I was also told that I can update my maps daily with a function called 'mapshare'. This tool allows users to download the latest maps from other users.
I was also told that the maximum memory card size I can use to put my maps on is 2 GB. I was told if I was to purchase an 8GB memory card, that I won't be able to put the maps on there, and that I would have to switch memory cards to access the maps if I was using an 8GB memory card
I was also told that I can update my maps daily with a function called 'mapshare'. This tool allows users to download the latest maps from other users.
Just so you are aware..."mapshare" only works with the Tomtom 7 series maps (and only certain ones) and 7 series software which is for Tomtom devices such as One XL, 910 etc.
It will not work for PPC devices.
Also....version 6.01 will certainly work well on the Kaiser, but 6.03 and 6.032 are later versions...more stable...faster etc. the only downside is that there is a known bug which starts TT in muted mode (no sound) if you have a data session going when you start the TT application. Version 6.01 does not do this.
You should find that when you buy 6.01 you will be able to download software updates from the TT home log in.
Yes I bought the DVD. I do not think that only 2 GB cards can be used as I have installed mine on a 6 GB card and working fine. Also, I just received an email from TomTom stating that version 6 is the latest and there are no upgrades to it

Thanks for that info about Mapshare. It seems the info you’re given by TomTom varies according to the advisor you speak to.
I assume that the maps I will be given is the latest 6.03 or 6.032 as I was told that the TomTom website only has the latest software on their website. Moreover, I was even told that TomTom 5 for pocket pc is no longer available from their website...

Thanks. Having two memory cards, one for TomTom and an 8GB memory card for other stuff does seem inconvenient.
I do find it odd that some with the TyTN II are claiming to have bought the Minisd version of TomTom even though Minisd cards cannot fit in the TyTNII....

Okay. I do notice that there is sometimes a lack of knowledge of Pocket pc products from the advisors.
The threads also helped. I never realised the topic had already been started in the ‘kaiser’ subtitle section

That should be correct. I used TomTom Navigator 5 on my old HP iPAQ hw6515, and when I wanted to upgrade my maps last year I was told that new maps were not available, but I could upgrade to TomTom Navigator 6 for $50. I took the upgrade deal, and I am currently running TomTom Navigator 6.010 on my HTC Tilt with a 4gb storage card. I can put the entire North American map on it and I can go anywhere in the US or Canada without switching maps.
Even if you could find TomTom 5 on Ebay, or elsewhere TomTom has stopped supporting it and there will not be any new maps available.

I previously had my tomtom and maps installed on a 2gb card for my PPC, but i got USA and Canada maps also as i travel there sometimes and tomtom can be quite handy. So as i have UK, france, spain, italy, portugal, germany maps (which i use alot) the USA and Canada wouldnt fit. Got an 8GB card, used the included card reaser to copy all my stuff and it works as well as before. So you can use an 8GB card on PPC for tomtom app and maps
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,

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 wonder if anyone can point me in the direction of the 6.030 cab file for TOMTOM 6. I have my maps downloaded through Home, but want the application to install again - I seem to have lost my original CD from the Advantage.
Please note, I'm only after the install file for the app, not any dodgy maps. I have two perfectly legal set of TT maps i wish to use.
Many thanks in advance.
try tomtom US, when I tried to find it from the UK website I could not fid it but the US website had it
