Hallo,
It's not possible to install maps trough .cab files.
TT has to install map related lines in the .exe file, .doc file and in the reg.
So you have to install trough setup.
Succes, Hannes 8)
Use a card reader.
Or you could install the maps to a local folder on the PC and then copy the directory over via activesync.

Can you please tell me how you managed to get TomTOm installed? I get the error message every time: Tomtom was unsuccessfully installed.

Ok I installed Italy maps but now the program asks for an activation process. Even giving the code embedded in the map, the activation on the tom tom site doesn't work...

can you give us a step by step process. and what versions of TT have you used ?
I installed tom tom 5.1 copying .cab files in the jasjar, then I copied the italy_plus folder in the jasjar and the program acknowledges the map ... but it asks for the activation code, saying that i must insert the disposal code (shown by the program) in a tom tom site mask. I tried but the site says that the disposal code is wrong.
I Got my TT5 working on the K-Jam! (Partially) This is what I did:
1 - TT5 did not istall properly over active sync - So I installed all of the CAB filed to my Storage Card and installed directly on the divice (I belive there are 4 files + get 1 voice file by searching the CD) I belive some the files are named ttn, GPS, etc)
2 - I emailed TomTom support and sent them a copy of my card so they can allow me to Re-activate my account (Belive they needed a copy of the card/cd, invoice of purchase and device invoice -- u can scan them , attached them, to a word file and email it to them). My code originally activated for my JAM (diff device code).
3 - I used the TomTom Map software to install the map to my PC. Then I copied the folder to my devices card via active sync
4 - when I started the TT5 -- it asked me for the activation code (which I got through ttcode.com)
5 - I activate the GPS control panel on Windows 5.0 (instructions I found on this site)
That is as far as I have gotten -- I am trying to figure out how to LINK the GPS to the K-Jam -- TomTom only lists a few coms open, but not one that the Blue Tooth lists.
Once I Figure it out -- I will post again!
Email me if you have any questions.
Hoped this helped!
In total you have to copy 4 files
mobile device\tomtom\CurrentMap.dat
\TomTom\TomTom\data05.bmp
\TomTom\TomTom\data05.chk
\Program Files\navigator\data.chk
\Program Files\navigator\tomtom navigator.exe
\Program Files\navigator\navigator.cfg
that's all.
data05.bmp and .chk is for example, you can choose one of your own voices.
Look this up on your device other wise i send you my files so you can try them.
Good Luck

Hello there,
I just want to install TTN on my Wizard. I have all Versions on my PC.
5.0, 5.1 and 5.21 but there are serveral Problems, I was not able to get at least one of these Versions working.
5.0 -> The Installation of the gps and pim.cab went fine. But my Wizard always says that installation of ttn.cab failed.
5.1 -> Installation went completely fine. Installed PIM GPS and TTN (all to storage card) Voice Installation is also recognized by TTN but it states that it can't find my Map
5.2 -> The same Problem as 5.1
My Map is installed to \Storage Card\Deutschland-Map\
Also tried to put a CurrentMap.dat containing "& \Storage Card\Deutschland-Map\" to \My Documents\TomTom, but that doesn't help
Can someone help me?
Now installed TomTom Navigator 5.1 again (to Device Space) and got working the Benelux map at one, but still the device doesn't find the German Map. When i delete the Benelux Map TomTom again doesnt't show the German Map at all and instead says that it can't find any map...
By the way...has someone found a way to install TTN 5.2 to Storage Card? The Cabs don't ask where to install, they just load on the device space
I had the same problems, even my voices do not show up!
I followed the instuction on this link, about 5 times...
http://www.beyondthetech.com/blogs/kjam/2005/10/surefire-method-of-installing-tomtom.html
is someone here who was been able to load the german map?
i have upgraded to wk25 on my xda2, i have tried to install tomtom from the disk but it want continue, i used this no problem before up grade, do i need a new disk for wk25?
thanks mark
If you go to TomTOm.com and download the 5.21 upgrade
Use that rather than the old 5.0 version on the discs,
It may well install no problem, but if that fails, just copy the CAB files from the upgrade to your SD Card and install each from there,
You should find that works no problem..
Had the same problem download the 5.21 update and install it.
It doesn't come with any voice files so just extract the voice cab files from the TT 5 CD and put them on the SD card and install them from there. ( voice cab 5 is English Jane)
thanks
thanks guys,ill give it a try

Hello,
I have installed TTN5 to my device rom.
Now I have put the "Florida-Map" in the root directory of my mini-sd card.
When I start TomTom it says there's no maps detected.
I have read some other forum about it but no one has found a solution.
Any ideas please ?
-----------------------------------------------------------
I found the solution for the NO Maps Detected:
Your problem like many others is not your version of TomTom its your versions of the map.
I realise the maps you currently have used to work on your older tomtom version.
Look for complete map sets of the USA. USA Eastern-Map, USA Western-Map...and so on.
DO not ask me or PM me for where to find those files.
Look on file sharing networks or buy them from TomTom
Hope this helps

TomTom Bluetooth GPS Ports WM5 Working Setup 100% Easy Step By Step !
First of all I would like to say thank you to "thereaperman" from Modaco Frums for this great help ! I took this from him and making it accessible to this forum easily for others to use !
Here are his steps:
STEP 1 : INSTALL TOMTOM5
You do this by copying the CAB files from the CDROM (eg F:\PocketPC) to the K-JAM and launch one by one from there with the explorer of the K-JAM
.
You can install voices the same manner by copying the CAB files to the K-JAM (eg from F:\Voice on the CDROM)
STEP 2 : UPGRADE TO V5.1
EDIT: Please use the tomtom official site to obtain the update here
STEP 3 : ACTIVATE THE GPS CONTROL PANEL
Fire up a registry editor (eg http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml )
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings
Delete the DWORD marked "hide"
Add a DWORD called "Group" and give it the value of "2" (dec)
The GPS panel will now show up in your connection settings.
STEP 4 : INSTALL TOMTOM5
1. Establish a bond with your GPS and select the checkbox for serial access.
2. In BT, select the OUTGOING port to 6.
3. In the GPS control panel, select the GPS program to 0 and make sure that the hardware one, is set to None.
4. Start TT5 and the GPS settings, select another bluetooth GPS, and you will see COM 0 free. Select COM 0 and close TT5.
5. At the GPS control panel again, now select COM 6 (before we set it up at 0).
6. At BT: select OUTGOING port to 0.
7. Back again to GPS control panel and select NONE.
8. Finally start TT5 and it should connect automatically. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the GPS settings and you should see it has connected.
FOR THE Wizard or IF NOT WORKING ON YOUR DEVICE TRY:
6. At BT: select OUTGOING port to WHATEVER NUMBER IS AVAILABLE EXCEPT 6.
7. Back again to GPS control panel and select NONE.
8. Finally start TT5 and
CHANGE GPS BT PORT SETTINGS TO WHATEVER NUMBER YOU CHOSE IN STEP 6
it should connect automatically. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the GPS settings and you should see it has connected.
Hope this helps all of you !!!
1. Create a txt file on your pc called Currentmap.txt
2. In txt file write "\xxxx-xxx\yyyyyyy"
xxxx-xx = name of your sd card as shown in file explore
yyyyyy = name of you current map file as shown in file explorer
3. Save the txt file
4. rename the txt file to Currentmap.dat
5. On you Wizard create a folder in your My Documents folder called TomTom
6. Copy the Currentmap.dat file into this directory
7. Start TTN and hopefully it will see the map
THank you,
But didn't work for my situation. I even tried to take the CureentMap.dat file from my instalation from my JAM but that didn't do it either !
Any other suggestions please ?
This seems to be a problem on multiple forums that no-one has figured out yet.
Same problem, here. I got an older map which I used on my Treo 650 which doesn't seem to work with WM5 version. I presume these maps are interchangeable since it's strictly data. Put California-map in the root directory and has the same issue as the OP's.
I've read from another forum that old maps (5.0?) do not work with 5.21. Is that the case? Appreciated if someone can confirm so I don't have to waste my time playing w/ this.
here is how I did it:
On your desktop, launch Notepad.
Type & \Storage Card\New-England_and_Mid-Atlantic-Map\ or whatever the name of your main map folder is on your mini-SD card. Do not forget to add the final backslash and a have a space between the ampersand and the first backslash.
Save the file as CurrentMap.dat. Make sure it doesn't end up as CurrentMap.dat.txt!
Put the file in My Documents/TomTOm on your device.
Worked for me with my Benelux Map.
canada and USA maps doesn't work with tomtom 5. You can make it work using bakonl version 5.1 but not higher
As far as I know 5.21 only works with the plus maps.
I had a WM2003 PDA and had TT V5 on it.
I now have a new device with WM2005 OS and I installed TT V5. TT Worked (including finding maps) but could not see the BT GPS.
I upgraded to TT V5.21 and it worked. It sees all the European Maps.
However to install TT V5 I had to do it manually because the install did not like connecting to the device using Activesync. I did it by creating the required directories on the Phone manually, extracting TTN.cab on the PC, renaming the extracted files and manually copying them to the Phone. The TT V5.21 installed the upgrade OK over Activesync.
If anyone wants the full instructions on how I did it I will post them.
Please provide instructions!
OK - Heres what I did - please note that this is the exact process I followed (twice) and it worked for me. If it doesn't work for you I'm not sure what you can do. But I used TT V5 and the UK/France/Italy/European Maps that came with it.
--------------------------------------------------
step 1 : INSTALL TOMTOM5 Manually
On the PC, Extract the files from within the cab ttn, (its in the PocketPC directory of the install CD.)
Rename 000file0.001 to dat.chk
Rename 000file1.002 to TomTom Navigator.exe
Rename 000file2.003 to CurrentMap.dat
Create a folder in on the device in 'my device-> Program files->' and call it Navigator - place data.chk and TomTom Navigator.exe in here.
Create another folder in 'my docs' called tomtom and place remaining file CurrentMap.dat in here.
For voices I only installed a 'celebrity voice' so I put the files for it in a directory I created called 'voices' in 'my device'.
If you have them OK, if not you will have to get them from a previous install - or create your own.
Now copy the Map Directory of your choice from your TT CD to your Storage Card.
step 2 : SETUP GPS DEVICE
1. Pair your device with your GPS BT unit and select the checkbox for serial access.
2. In the COM PORTS setting for the BT, select 'New Outgoing Port' and for the BT GPS unit set it to 7
Now launch TT and hopefully it will start and go through the install process. When you get to the point where it asks you to select the GPS device - select 'Another bluetooth GPS', and you will be asked to select the Port. If you see COM 7 free - select it. (If not - mine didn't -, select another port to get through the startup, but when TT starts it will report no GPS device found.)
If you did not see COM 7 when you ran TT5, then the chances are you need to upgrade to V5.21 and once upgraded start TT and go to 'Change preferences' - 'GPS Status' and configure the GPS unit again when COM 7 should appear (mine did).
The upgrade also added a standard voice which was not there before.

Good Luck

On my iPAQ i origionally loaded TTN v3 with all the associated maps. When TomTom announced the upgrade to TTN v5 i took the oppertunity (All the maps of western europe for £60 seemed to be a bargain). After updating to version 5.0 I have been using it ever since. A few months ago i updated it to v5.21, (essentially its a pair of cab files that do all the upgrading to 5.21) this only updates the software, and does not alter the maps in any way.
TomTom nav v5 maps are all similar, the plus maps just contain newer information (like newly built roads). What TTN5 will not do is read the maps from earlier versions of TTN, like v3 or v2 maps.
any more ideas? Played around with this for long time and can't still get it to load the NA map. Keep getting that "Maps not found' error when I start the program.
NA map?
I assume thats North America.
Have you tried any others?
No. I figure it should not make any difference and I only have the USA map. I am very frustrated at this as GPS is a big function I need on my MDA.
Would manual install help in my situation?
My install was very straight forward. This is what I did on my install, perhaps someone can point out on what I did wrong
1. Just ran the TTN 5.21 and installed the TomTom and Navigator both on minSD.
2. copied my California-map folder into Storage Card\California-map\ directory
3. Modified the currentmap.dat file to say "& \Storage Card\Californai-Map\
4. Ran the damn TTN and got that maps not found error.
What am I doing wrong? Please help.
It sounds like you have done all the right things, but the only other thing I can suggest is that your TTN software has not been activated to accept all maps. There is a patch you can use which "opens" your software to use all maps.
PM me for more info

I have noticed this too (with 5.21 only) . What worked for me was to put another map (besides the not-detected one) on the device. THEN both will be detected. I believe this is an activation issue somewhere in the s/w.

I have just installed TomTom and was getting the map not found error, performed the procedure above, but it didnt work first of all, this is what i had to do to get TomTom working and find the maps.
1. Create the folder TomTom under My documents on the phone (note TomTom folder created with capital T's)
2. Create the file Currentmap.dat with the following entry
& \Storage Card\TomTom\Great_Britain-Map
and copied it to the My documents\TomTom folder i created above
3. Copy the Great_Britain-Map directory that is on the storage card\TomTom directory to the ROOT of the storage card...!! THIS is the what made it work.
You may now remove the Great_Britain-Map folder in the TomTom directory on the storage card to save space.
A combination of creating the Currentmap.dat file (even though it points to a folder i have removed!!!!) and copying the map folder to the root of the storage card worked.
Without the currentmap.dat, tomtom would just hang on me and have to perform a soft reset.
I hope this helps, thanks to this thread i managed to get TT working on my wizard, cheers baz
Funny how you can go on about a subject when the answer is alreeady given in the tread. So maybe I wasn't clear enough. I'll explain better now:
Tomtom 5.21 can read all maps provided by tomtom, as long as they are for the version 5
Patched version of tomtom can read v5 maps too, but only if you put two of them at the root of your SD card. It means two maps that are normaly reconised by tomtom 5 (europe and australia mainly). People complaining about not finding a single map are using an illegal version.
The US maps floating around on p2p are v4 maps. They are not valid for tomtom v5. Maybe the latest "whole US in one map" is compatible, but the splitted one, with one folder for each state, is a v4 map.
The legal version of tomtom v5 cannot read v4 maps. If you put one v5 and one v4 map in your SD card, the patched version will not work because it will only find one map at the root.
The only patched version able to see the v4 maps are (to my knowledge) the bakonl version for v5 and v5.10. This version will hang if you use POI in the "plus" version maps available for most european contry. You will have to choose you executable depending on your maps.
All other problems, described in the previous posts, are for the first time setup. They just help getting the program running for the first time.
SO to answer clearly to the first poster: get a patched version 5.10 by backonl, and don't use it with "plus" version maps. If you want to use them, switch to patched 5.21
and apologies for those that contacted me for the file that makes the maps recognised. I checked to see if I still had it, and I have lost it since i reloaded my PC.
Hey I still have the problem.
I have put the Benelux map on my storage card and the Florida map too.
Only the Benelux one gets detected.
this is my CurrentMap.dat that is the My Documents\TomTom folder
& \Storage Card\Benelux-Map\
& \Storage Card\Florida-Map\
I have the Bakonl 5.21 release.
Hope someone can find a solution !
Thanks you
I just bought TomTom navigator 5 for my Wizard. I tried to install it onto my device as described on this forum but I can't find 3 of the 4 cab files that are needed.
I only have
2577/ttn.cab
I'm missing
2577/gps.cab
2577/PIMAddIn.cab
2577/wzd.cab
Can someone tell me where I can get those files or can email to me.
You don't need these if you do a manual install - which you need to do anyway if you have wM2005. You also need the TT V5.21 upgrade to use TT with BT GPS on WM2005.
You only need the TTN.cab - see here for my post about manual install.
