I have recently bought the TomTom5 application and have been able to install it no probs onto my wizard (actually an MDA Vario with a Mr. Clean flash ROM!).
The problems I am having revolve around the memory card. I have used a Moby 2gb mini-sd card for nearly a year and have encountered no problems. However the TomTom programme refuses to recognise it and load the maps from either of my computers.
Does anyone know why this could be? The TomTom people even provided a replacement CD but to no avail
Any help gratefully received

I have got TomTom 5.21 running a treat on my MDA Vario, but I have to install the voices, postcode and other plug-ins on my device (not on the storage card). If I put them on the storage card it won’t recognise them? Anybody got any ideas why? It’s not a massive issue at the moment, but as the Postcode app is 9mb, it’s a lot of data space to lose.
anyone any ideas?
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

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?

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.
Hi all,
Following problem:
- Qtek 2020 (or 2020i), combined with a SD-card , TomTom Navigator 5 and own software
1. Qtek 2020(i) works fine with SD, TomTom 5
2. Qtek 2020(i) works fine with SD, own software
3. Qtek 2020(i) works fine with SD, TomTom 5 and own software ONLY WHEN THE SD-card is slow (less then 40x)
We tested much different SD-card with different chipsets and only the real slow cardtypes work. The problem is that those cards aren't available anymore on the market, so we are looking for a solution to slow-down the SD I/O speed to the card.
How can this be done in Windows Mobile 2003 (se)??
Thanks for any solution or tricks to solve this problem!

Have just got my Vario back from being repaired (it was replaced with a new handset) I had Navigator 6 running fine on the old one, put my memory card in and coppied the cab files over to install the program again but now it won't find the GPS device, I've tried coping the old navigator.cfg file into the program files but still doesn't work, any ideas?
sussed it, I forgot to pair the GPS device with the vario and then select the com port 7.
It would not load on my MDA Vario in the Uk.
I am runnig a WM6 rom but i believe it should work, trying to load direct from the dvd via activesync.
Any ideas ?
Mine only work just after a soft-reset. It seems TT6 has problems with WM6, need to wait for them to come up with an update/patch (hopefully not TT7 that will cost another gazillion £). Anyway, there are reports that TT6 works on WM6 devices (not Wizard).
