i've tried to select major roads of europe map, from tomtom, 5.1, 5.21, and nothing. I've seen the same map working in hp pda's brother in law, with wm2003se and TT5.21 update. I think the TomTom doesn't recognize this map under WM5.
Anyone tried, yet?
Give me some answers.
Regards
Marcus
Note: The problem is TT5.21 or even TT5.1(I didn't try less) don´t show in switch maps the refered map.
Hi
The map for europe is the map Plus that you find on you CD.
Thry is 2 map One is the normal map and one is the plus the plus contains the map of europe.
Ciao

Hi
it strange that you still have the problem I use the Xda Exec that ha WM5 and I have no problem.
The directory of the map you have installed what is it called:
It no by any chance called:
Major Roads Of Europe. Because if it is it will never work on the Tom Tom Navigator 5 that is only for the Tom Tom Navigator 3.
You should have installed any map on the cd which has the word Plus at the end example
Great Britain Plus-Map
That cover all the normal road of Britain plus it covers the major roads or europe.
Hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
Regards
Gigino
thanks
I put the iberia plus-map and i´m very happy with the result.
Regards and thaks Gino, for help

RE: TomTOM Map Selection Problem
Hi,
I have the same problem, with Major Roads of Europe, Scandinavia and Gt Britain.
If I delete tomtom programe and re-install from my SD card TomTom installation, then I can select all maps, this installs version 5.0, if I upgrade to either 5.1 or 5.21 service packs, I can only select the GT Britain map when I try to swap maps in TomTom.
If anybody can help I would be grateful, as I can run my Checkpoint speed camera software on ver 5.0 only 5.1 or 5.21. Thanks

I have the same problem... It shows No Map found message after upgrade to v 5.1 or 5.21 ...I just want yo use Skandanavia Map
Help please,
I have exactly the same problem, found out that only GB and Benelux map works with tomtom 5.21.
I am going to europe tomorrow (20/12) and urgently need help. Please, was anybody able to make this work?
If not, can anyone urgently share GB plus map for tomtom 5? I would do anything for you.
Thanks.

I have sorted it, downloaded the complete install including 6 CDs with all correct Maps from Bearshare P2P program, be warned this download is about 3.6gb, but Bearshare will happily download in the background, it took me 2 days to download but worth it. :twisted:
Anyone managed to get tomtom installed and running, if so how did you do it, i want to install it on my storage card only
Thanks
Chris
I did nothing special, just follow the installer instructions. Which problem do you have?
It wont install on the sd card doesnt even ask then bombs out, did you install from an sd card or a cd rom and then it doesnt find the maps
I installed from cdrom and manually moved the map folders to miniSD card.
Hi,
Go to the TomTom site and download the latest update, then you can install it on the Storage Card....
You have to have legal version....
Thanks guys its all sorted, needed currentmap.dat in my docs works fine now
thanks for the pointers
Chris
TomTom
Which version of TomTom do I need to purchase for my TyTn? I live in the US.
I am using 5.21, but with spanish maps. Don't know for the US, sorry.
Thats ok. Thanks for the reply. Are you talking about TomTom Mobile or TomTom Navigation?

TomTom Navigator 5.21, that's what I'm using.
TomTom 6 work for me with North America or USA/Canada maps. I think I am currently on TT 6.201 and map Usa and Canada v 675.1409. Support told me that TT 6 would not work on Windows Mobile 6, but its works for me so far....
i got tomtom 6.03 with aussie maps 675,
works brilliantly except for the POI freezing glitch.
the 675 maps has speeds certain roads which is a nice feature providing they dont change the speed limit on the roads it has mapped LOL
Slow startup
I installed Tomtom 5.21 to main memory, map to Storage card.
But it takes a very long time for the app to start, over 1 minute.
I am running official Dopod WM6.
Anybody else duffer from slow startup and any ideas as to what can be done to improve it?
I have the UK v6.75 maps already, and there are a LOT of errors with them.
For example we living in a brand new house (completed beginning of 2008) and our street, plus half the streets surrounding us just don't exist on TomTom. I can't even set my home location because it doesn't exist.
I noticed on the TomTom site there are no further updates planned for the Navigator 6 maps (which are basically what I have).
I looked at the Navigator 7 maps option and they are supposed to be for Touch Diamond and Touch Pro only and you have to select specific network.
So my question... Do the new v8.15 maps work ok with the HD (TomTom 7.450) and if so which device should I select when purchasing on TomTom?
Depending on your version of tt7. Only the latest version 7.9 will apparently work with 815 maps. The navcore has been re-written to read the version 8 maps. Selecting the pro or diamond will give you the same maps. Beware, maps can now only be downloaded within tomtom home, and the only version of this that will connect to the hd, is version 1.15 (pda version), not 2.4. Check that you can connect before your purchase.

only the ones ending in 2003, 2024, and 2059
Thanks for the responses.
I think perhaps I should play it safe then and wait for official HD support from TomTom, I'm sure once they officially have a version available it'll be no problem to use the latest maps!

WRONG! Only the ones ending in 2024 work with 7.9 all the others are for the PNA navcore.

Oh, have you read this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445460
You can add Brazil 2095 to the list. To your credit, some 2003 maps don't work.
BTW, there is no need to yell, especially when you are wrong!
The problem I had was finding a version of TomTom that worked! The only one I've been able to get to work is 7.45, couldn't find a 7.9 version that worked (tried the Diamond/Raphael cabs and they wouldn't install). Anyone know where I can get 7.9 which works?
If you have 7.45 installed, you can try extracting the tomtom navigator application and the data file from the 7.9 cab, and over write the existing files in the navigator folder.
Interesting - I have one map under storage card, my documents and it is recognised - then I copy my other map 6.75 at the same place and it is not recognised !
WHY ?
Under the root directory is the old map - do I have to remove it may be ?
I`m using TT 7.45

You have to install new maps via TT Home so they are licensed properly.
I transfered by maps from my Kaiser, TT Home asked for the license key again to install them on my HD.

Whatever I try to Google with ttn7.910.9185_vga_black, can't find anything common!?
I have spent the evening reading all the posts on navigation. Have tried Tom Tom 6 and 7 with out success, tried the versions below:
TomTom 7 V7.450
TomTom 7 V7.910 (9185)(free ram 122.6)
TomTom 6 V6.033 (8358)
Please help, device just locks up
i tried to use many programs but they didnt work properly then i used Igo8 its perfect try it out
i have Garmin Mobile XT version 5 with 2009 maps. everything works fine but there is a lag of about 1-3secounds i guess? its fine but annoying when you have to do a couple turns one after another.. but oh well.. good enough. i tried Tom Tom 7.9 and 7.4 and they worked but i didn't like the layout and features\\
EDIT: im trying to get rid of the lag but im not sure how... does anyone have an SD card tune up? or know anything else i can do?
I'm using Tomtom 7.910 build 9185 with the 815.2024 maps, and it works like a charm. Try getting another version with the same buidl as mine.
Route 66
Have a look at "route 66" (66.com). seems to be working on a HD.
hm ... i got the v7.450 version workin on my hd.
TomTom 7.910 / Map v675 - West Europe.
Installation using the cab for TT and tomtom home for the map.
No lag, no installation issue, it just works.
Can you post the cab? Maybe mine is bad

This is the .cab i used and it works fine
Assuming I use this cab on my HD and it works, what do i have to do to get maps for it?
I assume i go to tomtom.com -> maps and choose Navigator 7 there, but then it asks for which device I want the map... does it matter what I choose there?
edit: tested the cab, seems to work, but of course i have neither voices nor maps. Have to try to get those...
edit2: if i try to add something to the device using tomtom home it always tells me that i have the wrong version of tomtom installed and that i therefore cannot use tomtom home. so, how do i get the standardvoices or a (at the moment purely hypothetic) seperately bought map onto the HD?
Did you chose/buy your GPS software or is bundled with your Touch 3G when you bought it.
Mobile XT with Thailand Street Map Version 8.01 is included on installation CD when I bought mine.
My 3G came with Route 66 Iberian Peninsula maps.
I bought IGO 8 for my touch 3G.
TomTom 7.910 with maps 8.15
I got iGO8... for me is the best one.
I use Garmin XT and Mapking2007
Google maps,
- easy
- free
- supported by most HTC models
Mapking 2007, GPS Trainer
iGO 8 The best for me
Mapking 2007
I have MapKing 2007 and G10 on my Mio168
Have it on my Mio.
Unfortunately, they only have Metro Manila (Philippines) covered on the map and not the whole country like Garmin maps, so i didnt bother installing it on my Touch 3G.
But I can say that Mapking is a very good navigation software too if not for the lack of data upgrades

With the following settings it worked without problems:
Normal GPS
COM 4
4800 Baud
But just like any other GPS software, it takes time till you get a fix
