Since I have upgraded my t-mobile varo with the 2.21.2.5 NLD ROM I have problems with my tomtom 5.21
When it starts everything goes fine until it has to find the maps. Tomtom freezes. I have the map on my mini SD card. When it's out, tomtom says that there is no map, so I think it knows where it is. I have tried different maps, but it all gives the same problem, so I know that the maps are fine.
I have think about it to go back to the old ROM, but I don't know how, and I am not sure if it helps.
Is there anybody who knows what to do for me?
it depends what sd card you have. I have found that the wizard has certain issues with sd cards just like the alpine used to have. I myself have a 2gb sandisk. I purchased a kingston 1gb for my wifes and had various problems with it on her phone aswell as mine but the sandisk worked great in both

I have a 512MB Mini SD Sandisk.
But before the ROM update, 2 days ago, I had no problems, everything works fine
As I can remember there must be a "do_not_remove.txt" (or somewhat like this) in root on the storage card - otherwise Tomtom will not search for Maps there...
could it be excidently deleted?
maybe this helps...

Never saw that file before. Can you be more specific? Do i need to put it in the benelux map? Where can I get that file? Not too big I think. Maybe someone can post it?
Thanx for responding!

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.

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?
Hi everyone!
Just popped over from the Xda2i board and just wanted to ask..
For KJam is it possible to get high speed mini SD cards in order to make TomTom 5 to work properly and smoothly?
I understand from the posts here that it has to be the 5.21 update to work on the hardware correctly.
Some of you probably already know that the Xda2i needs a hi speed card to allow TT work properly and I was wondering if the same was needed for the K Jam?
If not, does TT 5.21 run nice and smooth on this handset? some of you have said it takes 30 seconds for TT to 'startup' - which isn't so much of a big deal to me, I just want it to perform nicely once running!
Any feedback advice would be appreciated guys!
Cheers!

Slooooow startup, but okay when it's up
My xda mini S and Tomtom bluetooth seem to take ages to pair up. I haven't worked out whether it's best to start the GPS or TT5 first. It can take upwards of 2 minutes! It doesn't seem to like plannin a route whilst it's trying to pair either. Sometimes it can take as little as 30s, but that's the best.
Once it's up it fairly steams ahead though. And I can run a bluetooth headset and phone conversation at the same time, no probs and no probs switching back. oice dialling works a treat too.
I now have a 2Gb mini SD which as soon as I get the data transferred to it (via a new card reader), I'll let you know if/how it goes. No probs with my Moby 1Gb card.
Re: Slooooow startup, but okay when it's up
Have you got it working yet? I'm curious if it's faster now.

mine works fine with moby mem 1gb card
let us know on the 2 gb one
slightly slow at booting TT5 though but within limits
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
hiya
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?
help

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.

Yes again, as u can just copy whole progs on a bigger mem card.well thats what i've done.
i can only find one place online selling it and its about £55 is that about right
