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

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.

anyone got navngo to work on the wizard ?
I had the std sd version. copied it to minisd and used a hack I found (ahem!) to get by the security encoding.
It installs now and loads up, but after staying on the menu screen for a few seconds it crashes out !!!
Any use this, and is it a WM5 or a Wizard issue ?
rgds
i think the problem is that the NAV N GO doesnt know what MINI-SD card is.
since this NAVNGO Software workds great on the Jasjar.
Nadav.
I don't think the minisd card is anything to do with it. navngo told me themselves that it will work fine on minisd and that they will transfer it for 60 nis. I am just worried that there is something wrong with the wizard. however its good to know that it is working ok on your jasjar, obviously wm5 is not a problem.
Where did you purchase this from? I can only find Israeli sites with NavnGo. I found references that NavnGo is actually iGo (http://www.i-go.com) but there is no information of where this software is available.
It looks pretty good though.

Nadav,
You say Nav N Go works perfect on JasJar. Which GPS receiver are you using ? I have the one from TOMTOM SIRF III and am not able to make a connection to the GPS receiver..

navngo is a pretty cool gps nav system specialising in multilingual implementations. it has all the latest stuff like 3d, night view, etc.
Due to its roots it is currently only targeted at the following countries:
1. Hungary
2. Israel
3. Romania
4. Slovenia
I believe the team are currently working on a pan-european version to compete with tom tom
In terms of the questions above. I have always found the navngo team very helpful. If you email them they will take 3-4 days to reply but will normally always do so.
rgds
colonel, where did you purchase your copy from? I can't find it for sale anywhere.
I purchased it from a bug retail store in Israel. The central european version can be purchased in computer retail stores. Some details are here:

Just wanted to tell you all that, when I get home from work, I've got a Holux Slim 236 GPS receiver, a 1GB SanDisk miniSD and TTN5, all waiting to be installed.
Why, oh why, do I feel I'm going to be spending hours doing this one?!
While I'm here, has anyone successfully installed the Bakonl TTN5 on the Wizard (mine's an XDA Mini S actually), and with the cracked 5.21 patch? Any hints/tips would be much appreciated.
Cheers!
Good Luck!!
I have installed ttn5 on numerous devices and the only problems i ever had was with the bluetooth link and installing on my xda mini s was the worst so far!
If you do get problems with com ports -there was a post that got me up and running - i think it was on here somewhere:
once tt is installed there is a file in the tt folder called 'navigator cfg' copy that to your pc and open it with wordpad, there will be a load of rubbish on there but you will see 'com port0' or something like that, change this to com port 5 and save it , overwrite the original in the tt folder and try running tt again, it should be ok.Actual installation should be easy enough,
cheers and once again good luck...
Good luck! Best not to talk about cracked versions of commercial software though. This is not that kind of community.

Assuming you have the SD card image version downloaded (and a legit copy you purchased as well to stay legal )
Just copy all of the files to the root of your SD card (don't put them in a subfolder), run the TTN.Cab, GPS.cab & wiz.cab files from the 2577 from file explorer on your XDA to install. Copy the Balkonl 5.21 cracked EXE to your XDA overwriting the orginal and then copy the folder named "TomTom to your "my documents folder" on your XDA.
Next Pair your XDA with your GPS receiver (some need to create a new Com port, if yours does remember the port number)
Fire up TomTom, go into preference, choose "Other Bluetooth GPS" and select the Com port.
Took 10 minutes to install on mine this way!. Not promising this will work for you but my install worked first time using this method.
Not condoning software piracy but until TomTom sort the problems out with their installer i'll be using the cracked version even though I have a legit copy!

Basically ... no. I mean, I did get it working, with not too much trouble, but every time I closed TomTom and started again, all my settings had been lost - home, favourites, POI warnings. I just thought this was really annoying! Also the map version I had was quite old and had quite a lot of errors.
Unfortunately, I don't have an SD card image version. Trying to look for one at the mo. Any suggestions?
my problem is TomTom 5 put on sd card put in XDA and and it fires up for one second then nothing? Does the same when I open from PDA?
Not exactly sure what the problem is, but have you tried the tip in here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39979
Had exactly the same problem. Solved it by downloading v5.21 from the Tomtom web site to my PC and installing it to the Exec in the usual way over the USB cable. My tomtom SD card was in the slot when installing but probably doesn't need to be.
Easy peasy! Tomtom support would not tell me how to do this as it was more than their job's worth as they do not yet support the Exec.
Now you need to activate the maps by emailing Tomtom with your product code, device code and proof of purchase if you are installing into another PDA from your original (assuming you have upgraded your phone and have a legit copy of tomtom). They will email you back an activation code.
thanks done that and works a treat, now just got to get the BT gps working
Glad to hear you got it sorted. Only one problem with me now is that tomtom refuse to give me a new activation code 'under any circumstances' as they do not support the Exec. Has anyone had the same problem and how do you get around it? Not so easy-peasy after all!!
My TomTom 5.0 refused to install or the update didn't install. I ended up downloading a cracked SD card version... and that worked! Don't know if I can/may upload it to ftp...
B.T.W. TomTom really looks good in 480x640!!!
Just missing an "Auto-rotate" function...
I'd suggest against posting anything to the ftp server as that would make the owners of the site liable for hosting illegal files.
We need to protect the integrity of the site at all costs or we'll lose it.
Happily Tom tom are now supporting the XDA Exec so activation codes and support from them are now forthcoming for this model
Looking to get a GPS setup now for my wizard.
I think I will be getting this bluetooth receiver unless anyone can tell me a reason not to ( ie its rubbish ) http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8590.htm
Which version of tom tom will work with the wizard ? Is it 5.21 onwards ?
How big of a memory card will I need to run tom tom ? Will 512 meg do ? Are there any makes to avoid ? I was thinking of one of the mobymemory ones at £21.99.
Are there any troubles with the wizard and tomtom 5.21 ? Its not something I have read much about as ive only just decided to get one.
Many Thanks.
I have a MDA Vario running TomTom Navigator 5, V5.21, I am sure if you buy the software new then any installation problems with WM5 will have been resolved, if not; I do have a step by step guide for installing the software (original) and 5.21 update. The software runs perfect without any problems whatsoever.
I use a Holox BT-321 BLUETOOTH GPS RECEIVER. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BT-321-BLUETO...499429QQcategoryZ4668QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem
I also use a 512MB Sandisk mini SD card. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sandisk-512MB...itemZ5862591470QQcategoryZ96991QQcmdZViewItem
In car I am using a Brodit Active mount P/N: 968650 & Pro Clip. http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8670.htm
I have subscribed to TomTom Traffic and use PocketGPS camera warnings with POI Voice alert; the above configuration works with the Wizard perfectly.
I give TomTom Navigator 5 out of 5.
I have an XDA Mini S (provider : O2), and I am running Tom Tom 5.21 perfectly fine. Also, something that will answer your question regarding the GPS product : http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8590.htm , is that it works perfectly fine with the XDA Mini S and the Tom Tom 5 or 5.21 software. I know that, because I am using the above mentioned GPS device. It works ok, it last 10 to 12 hours without charging, it picks up satellites quick, its battery is a BL5c- compatible to many Nokia phone batteries,it comes with a usb cable, so you can charge it by connecting it to your laptop/pc and it has a car adapter as well. The only prob I have with this GPS device is that for the moment I can't have it to work with the my pc ( for example:using it with MS Autoroute ). I believe the reason is that the device does not come with installation drivers for the pc. If you download a cracked version of Tom Tom you can find installation procedures at the following links:
http://www.howardforums.com/archive/topic/742385-1.html
http://www.expansys.fr/forumthread.asp?code=125518&thread=58
Finally, concerning the memory card you need to buy, I think that 256 is more than enough to run the Tom Tom 5 with Great Britain's map installed. This map is around 120 meg and plus the maximum of 50meg for the TomTom software, I believe 250 is ok. But, is better to buy a bigger mini sd card, if you want to add more maps.
I have a mobymemory 1Gb mini sd card installed in my XDA mini S and it works perfectly fine!!! See link:
http://www.mobymemory.com/1GB_2GB_mini_SD_miniSD_Memory_Cards_fromSanDisk_and_MobyMemory.asp
Also, you may find really usefull the USB miniSD Reader/ Flash Pen Drive - to make your mini sd work as a pen drive
I hope this info is good enough for you!!!
Hello,
The new TOMTOM 7 is available in cab file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401619
I download it and put in my Universal and my wizard:
Cannot install and load it on my device. Not compatible
Have you found or built a version compatible with our Uni?

Ps: official devices compatible here:

Tomtom 7
Ok I have spent a few hours playing around with this. but I have Tomtom 7 and the UK maps working, it did take some pratting around with but it works.
The only down side is that its very memory heavy. and has crashed quite a few times.
I canot post any screen shots or chat about this until Aug as I am out of the country getting married.
please feel free to PM me but remember I will only help with the .Cab and not the maps unless you have got them legit from Tomtom.
remember donot post anything about WAREZ here.
I have been using it for a couple of weeks & it works great. There are lots of different versions around. The one I use is called
TomTom_Navigator_7.450.9028_repack2.cab & I am using it with the
United_Kingdom_and_Repubclic_of_Ireland_720_1803 map.
I tried quite a few different TT 7 cabs until I found this one. It also tried it on one of my Orange SPV M1000's (HTC Himalaya) & it works fine on that.
I've installed (succesfully!) tt7 repack 3 on my universal but sometimes (not always!) the screen make the light off ad I can't switch it on... Here's a patch (or a "repack 4" ) to resolve this problem??? I'm sure make all correctly but...
Thank U very very much!
Hello All,
I installed TTN 7 (repack 1 Italian) in my QTek 9000 with external GPS antenna without any problem and everything worked fine.
(I apologise for my English)
TomTom_Navigator_7.450.9028_repack2.cab version works fine also for me now.
I use it on my Uni and my Wizard with 7.20 maps
Could you please post a new link for the TomTom 7 cab, the one you have does not show any download possibilty. Thanks
