Hi,
Going to the states next week so i wanted to add new york and nevada maps for tomtom. I have placed the maps onto my mini sd card but tomtom can only find my original great britain map that i use daily. How can i use these usa maps? I think it's something to do with the current map file but i aint sure what i'm doing. Any ideas.
cheers
just stating the obvious, but have you tried changing map???
yes gone into preferences in tomtom to change maps but only map visable is great britain map?
I'm assuming you're running the updated tomtom version 5.21 and trying to install version 5.0/5.1 maps. These will not work, and you will not be able to see them in the map selection screen. I believe maps from version 5.0 are labeled as 566, while maps for tt 5.21 are 567. In the folder of the map you are trying to load look for a file named (statename).pna, if you open this with wordpad on your pc you will see which version map it is (probably 566).
I don't believe tomtom has released single US maps for version 5.21 yet (maps version 567). To get the 566 maps to work you will probably have to downgrade your tomtom navigator .exe to 5.0, however if you're using a bluetooth gps reciever it will probably stop working since this version does not accept ports 6/7. I'm in that boat right now
yeah that right just checked and the maps are for tomtom 5 not 5.21!!! dam needed them asap aswell. nevermind
im running tomtom 5.210 and in the verion info it states GB map ver562 and both the map and blutooth on port 7 works fine for me.
us maps
How did you get the USA maps to work on version 5.21.??? I have tried everything that I can to get it to work with no joy....
I am just hoping that new maps are release before I go to the states later in the year.
I am open to any suggestions / advice on how to get them to work...
Hi,
I too am using the 5.21 upgrade and all my maps still work, GB Map v562, France Plus v571 and Australia v568, application version 5.210 gps driver v1.20.
no problems with maps at all, have you tried downloading them again......
Limewire has them
cheers

I would ask TomTom tech support or get a refund if I were you .....
You can just use the old 5.0 exe.
Replace the 5.21 "tomtom navigator.exe" in program files\navigator with the old 5.0 one.
Just remember to first back up your 521 exe!
I do this all the time as in the States a lot.
If you just own 5.21 and don't have the old exe the suggest you download it from a torrent - you've paid for version "5" afterall.

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
Gigino
thanks, but problem not solved
under WM5 tomtom doesn't recognize this map
Regards
marcus
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

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

Which version of TomTom do I need to purchase for my TyTn? I live in the US.

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?
Hello everybody,
first of all, this is not a post about warez, since I am talking about new western europe map v. 7.25 I have just bought from tomtom.com.
Well, before I had installed on my Cruise tomtom navigator 7 that I got from this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401679), and everything seemed to work fine: I could download the free test map, and also free voices. Then I wanted to buy and install the new western europe (v. 7.25) map, that is available from a few days on tomtom.com. To this purpose I created an account, registerd my device as a TomTom navigator 7 one, and then went to map shop and bought the map. Then I downloaded and installed tomtom home 2.3, and I tried to install the map on my device using it, I can see the map I bought but I am getting an error message that says that the map is not compatible with my device.
Can anybody help me?
Sorry for error!
Remember no warez here, edit your post.

Have you tried copying the card to your sd card? Just to the root folder?
As far as I know there might be still a problem with activating the card.

I cannot just download the map, the only way tomtom allows you to download it is using tomtom home, which says that my device is not compatible, so I have nothing to copy anywhere..
I don't know but is there a update or new version to make Tomtom, Tomtom 7.25?
Hey mate, sorry to hear that you have problems. I would like to know if there is a way to get this working myself before I buy a ver7 map myself.
I know there has been someone else getting this to work in this forum. Maybe you an set the device to something else for the SD Card in TomTom Home. If it doesn't work while the card is in the phone maybe try it in a card reader. Think that should work. Let me know if you have success
Cheers
I'm running TomTom 7.450 on my Polaris, and I'm using the Map of Norway,
Finland, Sweden and Denmark v7.20 without problems. The maps need to be purchased and installed via TomTom Home 2 (Set your device av TomTom 720).

These maps are not anymore available for TomTom 720, at least in Italian site now if you register as 720 you can only buy 8.10 maps that are not compatible with tomtom7, at least to my knowledge. If you register as a tomtom 7 device, as for example a vodafone touch diamond, you can buy 7.25 maps, as I have done, but then you get the "impossible to install on this device" error if you try to download them.
may be it is not for One
Not completely sure but maps for One devices are not always compatile with normal PPC tomtom version.
I had this kind of problem with Tomtom 6 - bought maps for tomtom 6 One and those were incompatible.
After talking to Tomtom support they changed my subscription.
Unfortunately I never used tomtomv7 but instead got iGo8.
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!

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.

I have amanged to get tomtom 7.450 and it is working, i have downloaded the free map of London and all is fine.
However i want to add additional maps and this is where i get stuck. I have TT6 maps and would like to use them, i know that others have got this to work. However i cant access using tom tom home as the latest version of TT Home does not recognise the TomTom version 7 on my HD.
Is there another way to load the TT6 maps from the DVD to the device?
Can i get TT Home to work to transfer the maps, i did hear that TT Home 1.5 may be the answer but i cant find any where to download it?
Any help much appreciated
warning on the TomTom website when ordering maps for Navigator 7:
Remark "Please note that maps for Navigator 7 are only compatible with devices that have this software pre-installed. Please ensure that you have Navigator 7 installed on your device before purchasing a map."
The maps for Navigator 7 are 8.15 maps.
TomTom v7 is not supposed to be running on a hTC touch HD
tomtom HOME 2.5 is the one you need to install maps for Navigator 7. you can download tomtom HOME from the tomtom website (one of the few items you can download for free)
I am using Tom Tom Home 2.5 and it tells me that i am using an incompatable version of Tom Tom Navigator for my device and thus i cant install anything, to be honest that is why i am looking to install the maps without using tom tom home, or using tom tom home 1.5 which appears may work with the HD
TT7 does not support TT6 maps,
install tt6 instead, simple.

Did you use TT Home and if so what version?
If you did not use TT Home how did you load the maps?

I have been really stupid. I have installed TomTom7 9.10.9185 and it is working fine, I then purchased v8.15 maps for UK & Ireland but the link I have been sent just tells me to download through TT Home 2.5, which as you know isn't an option.
Is there anyway of downloading the maps that I have purchased from a direct link? Or can I get a refund?

Look if it makes you feel better I have TomTom7 9.10.9185 running and Home 2.5.1.36 and as you know I have the westen map.

To be honest I dont remember.
Here is however what I do remeber.
There was a thread around that told you how to copy files onto your SD card that made Home think that you had a different version as a device (pass on whihc one but is one of those hardware boxes for your car).
I used this and it worked fine, so then Home said it needed to update, after doing that I scaned for devices and it found a pocket pc.
So try the scan for device whilest connected else see if you can find that thread. it was a long time ago, sorry, not trying to be an A** but I just cant remember.

TomTom Home 1.5 worked great for me as it recognized the mircoSD card first in my Kaiser and then also a card in the HD. To locate TTHome 1.5 Google: fixya tomtom home 1.5. This then allowed me to move my 6.75 Western US States maps from one card/device to the other.
