hack to install ttn.CAB

Some people tried to install TT5 on their Wizard but could not get ttn.CAB to install. I have found a great workaround on howardforums.com, all credits go to JayTheMagician:
- use win CE cab manager and extract the files (there should be 3) from within the cab ttn on your PC (download WIN CE Cab Manager from http://www.ocpsoftware.com/download.php?nm=cecabmgr
- then create a directory in /my device/Program files and call it 'Navigator'.
- Now copy data.chk and tom tom navigator in here.
- Then create another directory in /My documents, call it 'Tomtom', and copy remaining file called 'currentmap' in here.
This works!!! Good Luck!
Why not simply use the version of TomTom that is WM5 compliant?
Because most people already have TT 5.0 so they need to upgrade to 5.21. In order to do so, they must first get their full install of tt 5.0 working on the new device before they can upgrade. .
I'm not using it. But you won't tell me that TomTom makes a new version available, that can only be installed over a version that is not compatible and not installable? Is there no cab file in the 5.21 update?
TTN5 5.21 install without problems to ppc that not have previous navigators installed (you don't need TTN 5.0 or 5.1).
Only run the exe in your pc to install it, then copy the voice cab file from your original installation CD directly to ppc and install it.

adding voices to tomtom 5

Hi,
After many hours of trying to get tomtom to work on my mini s I finally did it. Only one problem now is hopw do i get the voice files to work? I have transfered the voice cabs that i want over to the device and storage card and ran from there. Installed perfectly but still no voices within tomtom? What am i doing wrong?
cheers
Well, in the directory u find tomtom directory, make a new sub-dir with the name tomtom and put the voice files there.
so i put the new "tomtom" folder in mydocuments/tomtom?
eg.
my documents/tomtom/tomtom
then do i install from here?
cheers
Hi!
@ferritt: I'm really wondering why your TomTom Setup is so complicated (compared to mine)... Most of us just copied the correct voice.cab (UK Janes file is called engf.cab) to the device and started it (NOT installing to the Storage Card).
It creates a folder under /My Documents -> tomtom with the following files in it -> CurrentMap.dat, data02.chk (that should read data05.chk for english Jane) and data02.vif (data05.vif).
Final view:
/My Documents/tomtom/
CurrentMap.dat
data05.chk
data05.vif
Hope this helps.
Greetings

see what i have mate is the voice files (cab) from my tomtom 5 cd. But also i have the .chk files aswell on another tomtom cd which is the only one i could get working. so should i just put them into the .chk files ionto the tomtom folder?
cheers

It is perfectly possible to install everything to the Storage Card. There's a complete walkthrough here (for the Universal, but the Wizard is very similar)

Autorun in Folder 2577 not working after Update Qtek 9100

Hi,
have updated my Qtek 9100 to the new ROM.
When I insert a SD-Card nothing happens.
On my SD-Card is a folder named 2577 with an Programfile Autorun.exe.
On the old Version the Autorun.exe was started after inserting the same SD-Card.
Any idea ?
the only time i've seen that directory is after a TomTom Navigator installation. did you install that recently?
Folder 2577
Yes g0nk you are correct - this folder is with reference to TomTom.
For some reason this folder conflicts with Windows Mobile 5 version - the only way to install the program is by accessing the folder manually and selecting the autorun program - it should then install the rest of the application as normal!
No, I use it for myself with mortscript.
I have made a autoinstaller using mortsript which installs certain files when inserting the sd-card.
So it's not the TomTom one.
But still there is a problem with the new ROM (ore the CABs from Qtek).

Any ideas on solving this unique problem....

from the PPC browse to the storage card and run start.exe to install
follow the instructions in the crack directory
install extra voices.
to force install on mda xda ect
run the cabs below

Setting footprints on tom tom 7

I know it may sound stupid, but I can't figure out how to do it, and I already searched the forums with no luck.
My question is simple: how to set Footprints to launch and use TomTom 7 instead of the demo of Copilot on my HTC HD2.
Thanks.
I have the same question but in my case it s about igo. I would like to use footprints with my igo.. I am searching for an answer, too. If I find something I will write here. All the best.
I followed the instructions below on another thread, and they work fine in that footpriints now launches TomTom, but it does not plan a route to the footprint. Does anyone have a way of making TomTom navigate to the footprint? From what I have read, a .dll file is required for this. I'd love to get this working.
To make TomTom replace copilot:
-You have to install tomtom to your SD card
-Locate the install dir of tomtom after you have installed it
-Locate the navigator.exe and copy it to another folder
-Rename the navigator.exe in the tomtom folder to copilot.exe
-Rename the navigator.exe you made copy off to splashscreen.exe
-Copy the splashscreen.exe back to same folder as the new copilot.exe is
-Rename the tomtom folder (or what ever the name is) to copilot.
-Copy the new copilot folder, and then locate the original copilot folder on device storage (Program Files/CoPilot) and paste the new folder over the original (DO NOT DELETE THE ORIGINAL FOLDER FIRST)
-Soft reset, and it should work just fine
bumping as a solution would be nice!
Don't like using CoPilot so i would rather be using TomTom.
Changing a link in the registry should be an easier solution...
if i understood wright ,you have at the end to copy the entire eg igo (544mb)folder from storage card to device memory? how will this device work then whithout memory ??
i may be wrong ?
search forim pls, there is some solution linked with navipanel! dunno about the footprint how to adress the coordinates but can be made to start igo8 or tomtom. just search

Routing any GPS to be opened by Navipanel is one thing THEY are asking for something a step further on how to execute a command so it starts routing to a footprint. So far I haven't seen anyone do this.
