Interesting that it says:
"TomTom NAVIGATOR is now compatible with Microsoft Windows™ MOBILE 5.0 devices. See the compatibility list for more information."
And when you go to the list there are no WM5 devices in there :shock:
...but it works :wink:
btw, you don't need to have TT 5 already installed on the system ...just install this verison (5.21) and create a "Voices" directory with your voices files in the root of the ppc ...that's all

Does that mean you have to register this update with TomTom to prove you're a legitimate user? I guess so.
Still waiting for an official (tested and accepted ) update before I upgrade my legit v3 to a legit v5. (Currently running a cracked version cos I'm not happy that TT5 is working properly on WM5, or even that TT5 is the best solution any more :roll: )

Does that mean you can do it on the storage card: "My Device\Storage Card\Voices"; or does it have to be on the "PPC: My Device\Voices" ???

I have it on \Voices ...dunno if it works on the SD too
So what is different about this version. Or should I say what is fixed in this version? Does it keep the screen in the current screen mode (i.e. VGA or does it reset the screen to it's own bidged semi VGA size).

version 5.210 (5430) ...but i did a clean install
OK this is strange and i need some help....
i installed the app in my sd card...
i made the "Voices" folder in the root of the ppc...
and i runed the app BUT (this is the strange part)...
i am still in the preferences screen as after i press the screen to choose a preference i can only get to the next step by pressing the button with the red telephone and then maximizing the app again from spb. the moment i press the red button i can see tom tom proceeing to the next screen and then the app minimizes.
any ideas on this?
thanx
So it's not all good news then. Does this mean that TomTom's 5.2 release isn't quite ready for WM5 after all? Can anybody comment on differences in performance between 5.1 and 5.2? Does the screen still redraw slowly?
well it might be my mistake or something but...
so what about the rest of you? has anybody tested it? how did you installed it?
I did a full install on to the Exec, direct from the TT site download. I had hard reset the phone first, yes you do need to add a voices folder in the root of the SD card, but otherwise it all works fine - you can use the data.chk file from 5,1 if you like the real voice warnings, the only thing you can't use is the POIExtend software (yet) Mike
Downloaded the zip file from TT site unzipped it and ran it, it uninstalled Ver 5.1 for me the reinstalled 5.2 somewhere along the way it requested a soft boot.
It all appears to function. However I have not had chance to test it in anger.
I previously had TTNav 5.1 (plus maps, voices, POIs) installed and running succesfully from SD-card.
Installed v.5.21 update, which said it would remove the previous version whilst installing and gave me a choice of location for only one of the .CABs. Afterwards I discovered 4MB of main/device storage had gone missing, so checked and found that the new version had now installed itself into device storage and the old version 5.1 was still in SD-Card. Upon checking the registry I found all the entries still pointed to the old version in SD-card. Tried installing again, same result. Uninstalled and installed again, same result.
Decided "what the hell", moved all the new version files to the SD-card locations, modified the program menu shortcut to start TTN from SD-card, removed their "stupid" Today-plug-in, and fired it up. Now working again from SD-card, and have 4MB of device storage back!
As mentioned before, I feel TomTom have totally lost their way roll with PDA navigation. TTNav5 is just a bodge on their stand-alone TT-Go product code to get it more or less to run on a PDA.
I think it's been observed elsewhere that Tomtom seem to be writing a standard application that will work across all their supported platforms. This is cheaper and easier to support but is frustrating for power users.
I am now using Navigator 5 in addition to Mapopolis, and I find the delay in connecting to my Bluetooth GPS (GlobalSat BT338) very annoying. There is nowhere to specify baud rate and I am sure that Tomtom every time is scanning the range to find the GPS, it takes so long.
This makes TT fairly idiot-proof and user-friendly, but at the expense of the more technically minded. Of course, supporting technical options ties it closer to the particular operating system, which is probably what they are trying to avoid doing...
Hi all,..
when I use the update from the TT website, and installed it is asks vor an registration code, the activation code...
does anyone alse have this problem?
a
Hi all,
I hope someone can help me out.
I can't get TT5 to work on my HTC Wizard.
I have the latest iMate rom installed.
I know about the problems with WM5.0
I tried everything I found here on the site.
Copied the cab files to the SD card and install them from the device.
One file dont want to install, I tried to install GPS.cab first than restart without sd card and then install the rest but still the file wont install.
I tried to hardreset my device for 2 times now but I cant get it to work.
I'm pretty much hopeless....
I hope someone can give me the solution.
Thanks in advance.

I had to manually install the voice file for my TomTom.
TomTom has a flaw, it (for me) put the file in the wrong folder.
Here is how my Folder-tree looks likes.
\TomTom\
\TomTom\go1108m.wav
\TomTom\tttoday.bmp
\TomTom\tttoday.dll
\TomTom\tttodayvga.bmp
\TomTom\TomTom\
\TomTom\TomTom\data15.chk <-- this is my voice file.
As you can see, i had to put it in \TomTom\TomTom where TomTom installs it in the \TomTom\ folder.
Hope this helps you.

Tell us more. What are your troubles? What is the ver. of your downloaded TT? Do you have Active Sync connection?

Hi andy76sz
Thanks for replying. Basically, the instruction file that came with tomtom advises to "execute the cab file on your pda". I have transferred all the files to the memory card through Active Sync. When I browse to the folder that the instructions say to go to, none of the files will execute.
I just wanted to know if I was on the right track or whether there is some special way of installing applications.
There is no special way of installing TT. Try to execute the files on your pc with the Active Sync connection active. What are the names of files? Where did you get files from?
Hi everyone.
Please can you help me to install tomtom 7 on my HD/Blackstone. This is my first PDA/phone like this , and I am kinda struggling.
I have downloaded the Tomtom 7.910.9185, with maps of western europe 1gb.815.2024
The package I downloaded had 3 versions of tomtom7 compressed.
QVGA black, QVGA blue, VGA black.
I am now lost, I have read about cab files, sending to the root file of the storage card, but I cant figure this out.
Is there an idiots guide, (I am a total newb and Idiot) showing how to do this. Maybe one of you guys has a webpage or thread with it all easily put down.
Your help would be most appreciated please.

Does it have bigger POI icons?
Cause i've installed QVGA , it's full screen and looks nice but hte POI icons are little.
Or maybe that just tomtom 7
Hi,
I don't know if you already found how to do this but i will try to give you a simple guide:
1. copy the file VGA black.cab to your SD card root.
2. click on the file once (a .cab file can be compared to a .exe file on a pc)
3. After install, copy your map western europe 1gb.815.2024 to the root of your SD-card. Make sure that when you open the folder of the map, you should see files and not another map otherwise it won't work!
This should get you up and running tomtom 7.
POIs are small 'cause the TT version available run quite correctly on HD, but IT'S NOT the right version for HD, simply it doesn't already exists
Thanks,
Have managed to get the program to install, but no hope with the maps.. Keeps saying they aint activated..

So the problem ain't the software itself, is the map activation. You have 2 choices:

Tomtom navigation - where to install maps
Hi all,
I'm spend a lot of time on many forums to find how to propp install Tomtom navigation (I'm using Tomtom 7).
Installing a Tomtom program is so simple but the maps thats another storry.
All informations what I'm found was telling you need to create a folder "maps" in root of the memory card and than copy all files from your PC folder of actual map there. That information is OK just if you want to use a single map.
Problem is if you want use more maps than one.Yo just simple can't coppy contens of two or more maps into the same forder.Or if you try to copy whole folders with maps into yours "maps"folder on your card the Tomtom not see that.
So what to do ???It's really simple.
1. You do not need to create the "maps" folder
2. All what you need to do is copy whole maps folders into the
" My Documents " folder on your storage card (not on" My Device " memory !!! )
Its work perfect,I'm use more than 3 maps (UK+IR, Western+Central EU, Eastern EU,...)
So maybe this info help some people whos need more maps.
Richard
I purchased the map from TOMTOM website, but when I tried to install it using tomtom home, it doesn't allow me to download

Hi stevenyu24, vidamusic et al with TT7 issues. Suggest you read through the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432410&highlight=TomTom and pay special attention to bmcconalogue post. All your problems should be solved there.
Best regards,
Just for you guys,
I have Tomtom Home 2.6 installed on my macbook and I can get MapShare working free with my TomTom navigator 7 installed on my Touch HD.
Just connect it as a Disk Device then when TomTom asks which device to use, choose the one on the Storage Card (the map is on the storage card and the app is on the internal storage)
Then, you will get free maps' correction !
Tomtom have released a new version of there software specifically for the TP2.
Version is 916.9189. Have installed but not tested yet. All traffic is working on this version unlike the previous release.
can only be installed on TP2 and maps of course still need to be purchased. They are including this with new purchases of the phone now.
If someone can confirm if ok to post the link ?
Thanks
ok link is below, if not ok please remove the link
Here
edit from Sleuth
The app itself isn't warez since it encourages you to load up a free local map then buy commercial maps if you like it. Keygens for the maps are warez and not permitted.
With this in mind, I took the liberty of modifying the cab in your link. First, I removed all the BT drivers simply to make the cab smaller. While your original cab does have the BT drivers, the install script only loads them if they aren't already there so no overwriting occurs.
More importantly, the modified cab includes a version of 916.9189 that lights up the contact navigate button. I've placed a link to this modified cab on this post
TomTom is a great navigator. If you enjoy playing with the free map, go out and purchase legal maps from TomTom. The more WM platform purchases TomTom gets, the more they will be incented to continue to support and improve this excellent product.
could you post a link to download?
thank you
ok link is below, if not ok please remove the link.

Will this version screw with the BT stack? Also, if you already have maps, will it request you to register maps again?
A further question: any help with the lag issue that many (inc. me!) are struggling with?
I doubt it - but had to ask!

I have already upgrade, and did not have any issues. Everything works great on my TP2, no slowdowns for me.
Does Tom Tom say the street names?
Thanx. Appears to work well. I'll test it tomorrow.
How about the TMC function ????
Total Noobie question here!
I currently run version 7.450, I have downloaded the new version, but what do I do with it, if I run it, it works, but I have to run it from file manager, as opposed to the program icon, how do I install it correctly?

Goto file explorer, copy the tomtom file, then goto my device/windows/start menu/programs folder. then hit the menu to "copy shortcut" in this folder. You will now see an icon in the programs folder for this version of tomtom.
If you already have tomtom installed you may want to uninstall it first or just delete the shortcut(s) from the programs folder so you know which one you're using.
Works for me. Would like to know what the changes are.

Thanks Now working ok
The main improvement is that now the keyboard works fine on the TP2 with TT7
right i tested this on the way to work this morning, for me the lag is still there so no improvment. the traffic does now work which is one thing but still a definate lag compared to my tytnII which was spot on. This is with the new rom from HTC on it as well the one with copilot preinstalled.
sdcard is a class 4 so dont think it is down to that either, shame as i really thought they would sort the lag out.
anyone else?
I get a not enough memory error when trying to install this. What am I doing wrong? Stock TMo US.

No problem with Bluetooth. I already had a previous version of TomTom installed. Just unzipped the .zip file into program files\navigator and it worked.
You don't have to reregister maps.
I was asked to join MyMaps or something like that. In which you can manually edit maps to keep 'm up to date. Also you can subscribe and download eachothers updates.
