XDA EXEC with TOMTOM mobile 5 (working with keyboard funny's

Hello all
I am new to this forum. So to start hello everyone. Nice to type ya.
Right can anyone help, i have got TOMTOM mobile 5 working with my XDA Exec. no problems (linked to a sirf3 tomtom bluetooth GPS )
but the only way i can navigate is using the qwerty keyboard and arrows.
I am unable to use the touch screen functions or the 4 way PDA
movement buttons thingymajig.
Any clever doods,lasses with any similar experiences.
p.s. The gps side works really well.

Just a point but Tomtom mobile is for smartphones and Tomtom Navigator is for XDA's.
Correct me if i'm wrong but that was my understanding.
navigator works fine on my exec..
:?

Yep your right, and seen as no smartphones have touch screens, its no supprise the thing don't respond to screen presses!

you know what is weird, if you goto the tomtom webpage, they have an update for tomtom mobile so that it supports wm2005 meaning the i-mate jasjar... see it it is there. Should I use tomtom mobile instead now????
Don't think so for the reasons as stated above.

Right that explains alot
I will need Navigator and not Mobile.
time to get wallet out again.
Cheers

TomTom 5.21 ON xda EXECTIVE

have been struggling to load tomtom on my XDA Ex. On the occasions it has run, there was no link for GPS receiver and on occassions was getting a fizzy image. Any help out there from someone who has managed to load this

tomtom 5.21 is not for PDA, but for smartphone or WM2005.
you need to install tomtom NAVIGATOR 5.10

I'm running version 5.21 (5430) for PocketPC with GPS driver v1.20 on an XDAIIi.

I loaded tt5.21 on my fathers exec last night, I am assumiing you are using a BT gps receiver? If so then make sure you pair the gps BEFORE loading on tt5.21, then go to comms manager and select gps device in bt settings, then set it to outgoing and assign com 0 to it. then start up tt5.21 and select other bt gps, then select com 0. that is how I got it to work. Under ver 5 it wold not do anything at all, even though either version works fine on my 2i !!!! But 5.21 works just fine on the exec.

Tomtom Now Working
Thanks guys for your contributions. I now have Tomtom Version 5.21 on my XDA Exec.
This has been after so many hours of frustration and browsing the web to find the solution after I got the phone.
I have installed a cracked version which worked after trying so many cracked version which I had found on the net.
I now believe that some of the cracked ones have got some files corrupt or misssing because I dont see why they were not working.
Now I love my phone.
My qustion is with this cracked version WOULD I be able to access TomTom WHETHER AND TRAFFIC ? OR THIS IS A NO GO AREA?
Would the TomTom website know that mine is not a legit copy? :lol:

@ two4one
The cracked versions are recognised as being cracked and don't work with updates etc....
To avoid hastles with this site lets not mention warez, I'm not squeaky clean myself, but it can cause problems for the site developers and so on.
Glad you're happy with it though.

TomTom Navigator V5.210
I Too am running TTN Version 5.210 on an XDA IIi :lol:

TomTom 6.03 on X7500: something else

Hi!
Aside from the earlier TTN 6.03 issues we discussed here before, I discovered something else.
It's not possible to use the D-pad/joystick to zoom in or out the map while navigating. Setting the volume (left/right) works, but zooming (up/down) doesn't.
This DOES work with 6.03 on other devices and it DID work with Navigator 6.00 on the X7500.
Ofcourse, you can use the + and - onscreen, but using the joystick is much easier.
I think it's the X7500 with TTN 6.03 again, but just to make sure I'm not the only one, please post your comments.

Mine (HTC X7500 Advantege WM5 ROM Spanish) has left & right in joystick to control the volume. Up & down does nothing. Press joystick goes to TT6 menu.
Soo looks like yours.

I have to agree. Same thing happens to me. No zoom on D-pad Joystick.
I don't use the zoom that often, so haven't noticed until it has been mentioned.

Not sure it is a X7500 thing, on my iPaq 6915 the map zooming did not work either with the joystick (TTN 6.03)...

On my T-Mobile Ameo with HTC WM6 german rom it doesn`t work, no zoom with Joystick up and down, only left right for volume works. TT 6.03
mike

minecan zoom in and out with no problem at all.
I'm using dopod u1000 with official ROM

TomTom 6.032
On the new kaiser version of tomtom 6.032 it still doen't work. It has also still the no sound problem when starting tomtom withthe gprs/umts connection active.

TomTom Nav 5 problems

I'm having real problems gettings TomTom Nav 5 to run on my X1.
I had it running fine on a Touch Pro (UK o2 stock), but the phone had a fault. So did the replacement phone, so I've now ended up with an X1 which as far as I can tell is pretty much the same hardware as the Touch Pro (excet for the screen size, obviously).
On previous HTC phones I've had to manually install TomTom Nav5 from the three cabs in the 2577 directory as the autorun.exe setup would fail. BUT the install worked fine and the software ran fine afterwards.
With the X1, when I run up the software I get a corrupted agreement screen (attached as iagree.png) which stays on screen for about 10-15 seconds, then the Windows Mobile 'there was a problem' screen (attached as problem.png).
This repeats a couple of times after sending the log data, then I'm back to my programmes folder.
Has anyone managed to get Nav 5 to work on the X1?
I know poeple have Nav7 working, but as I bought Nav5 and it worked on the Touch Pro I am loath to spend more money on software which was doing me fine up unutil this phone (I also have a Go910 which I use for most SatNav use, but its handy to have my old Nav5 on my phone for when I don't have the Go with me).
Cheers,
FM

TomTom Navigator 7 works fine on the X1.
http://www.tomtom.com/landing_pages/navigator7/en-gb/

As I said, I know TTN 7 works on the X1, but I have a fully paid for version of TTN5.
TTN5 worked fine on my Touch Pro, until the Touch Pro developed a fault. o2 are not able to supply the Touch Pro (Serra) any more in the UK, so I've had to make do with an X1.
I don't want to have to pay for TTN7, and I'd rather not have to go down the route of a cracked version of TTN7 when, as I say, I have a fully legit paid for version of TTN5.
TTN5 worked fine on all of my previous HTC phones, o2 XDA IIs, o2 XDA Mini S, O2 XDA Orbit and the Serra. The Serra being the first of the phones I've had with a VGA screen but TTN5 coping with it perfectly.
Woudl have been nice if TT had offered an upgrade path to TTN7 (or even TTN6), but they chose not to.
Now I'm stuck with a phone that won't run what I've paid for - because of o2 taking 3 months to replace my (Serra) handset with a new one (they failed to repair the firs, then replaced it with a refurb with a different fault!)
TTN5 installs OK, as I say in the first post, but fails to run with not much clue as to what might be causing it.
What are the diffs between the X1 and the Serra other than different screen resolution and aspect ratio, the missing accelerometer and different keyboard and keys layout? From the specs they appear to be very very similar, and the OS is surely the same (or could there be missing dlls from the o2 ROM maybe?)
-FM

Same here. For me it was even the guy from the TomTom helpdesk indicating that only TT7 will work on an X1 but that this version is not for sale.
He was very sorry that he could not help me with a legitimate solution...

When did you speak to TomTom? TTN7 is now out and available for WinMo phones.

Sat Nav Software?

What is the most reliable Sat Nav software for MDA Vario II? I have been looking at Garmin Mobile XT or Co-Pilot 7
Just wondered about any reccomendations?
Any comments would be much appreciated

people report various success with different software depending on where they are in the world for map covering and updates

fair point, well I'm in the UK so does anyone know the best ones for UK coverage?
Thanks

I'm in the UK and use Tom Tom on my Touch Diamond, it works really well. Have only just got myself a Hermes (£25) so have yet to try any sat nav software on, yet.....

TomTom
I've used TomTom software on all the following devices with excellent results:
- SPV M500 (Magician)
- SPV M3100 (Hermes)
- HTC Touch HD (Blackstone)

IGO 7 works like charm on my hermes.
Cheers

what version of Tom Tom is reccomended? I have Windows Mobile 6
Thanks

The Tomtom ripped from the tytn II is OK, Tomtom 7. You do need to purchase the maps though...

Can anyone confirm that TomTom 6 works on the Hermes?
or what is the best version to run and why?
Thanks

I can confirm both tomtom 6 & tomtom 7 both work fine on hermes.
For tomtom 7 you can get the more recent maps, but it requires more ram to run. When I was running a m2d rom I had tomtom 7 close randomly on me a few times. No problems if you have more than about 15MB ram free though.

I like Tomtom 7, have no problem running it on my Jasjam... As I said though, you need to purchase the maps. The best things in life don't always come for free...
