HowTo get TomTom Navigator working

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...

is someone here who was been able to load the german map?

tomtom 5 will not load from disc

Cant see any other person having this problem from my searches and topics here.
I am trying to load tomtom5 from a disc. it is the same one i used in my xda2 but it will not load on my XDA exec.
I have tried to copy to the card and run but that will not work it says not a correct application.
I have 5 and 5.1 update on disc which worked on the xda2.
Neither will load to the Exec
I load the disc to pc select uk then select install but it immediadtely brings up the error message with the send to microsoft option.
Dont understand this as it worked on the xda11.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Clive

Hi
get the 5.2 update from tomtom, install it, copy the voice files from you
v5 cd to tomtom dir in root "/", copy the maps to your mmc.
it worked for me

was the 5+5.1 known to not work then?

I had the same problems
Could not install from cd either whereas had no problems with my xda2-managed to use updat 5.2 but could not activate software via the gprs connection. ihad to get anew activation code from tom tom. this worked. i don't think version 5 is as good as version 3 and i wish i hadn't upgraded as not only are there more errors on the maps but it takes my new xda a lot longer to connect to the gps receiver.we found loads of mistakes when using the new version 5 on the xda2 in the summer when touring tom tom kept taking us to roads whichwere still under construction and couln't be used. we did tell support about this but i don't find them particularly helpful

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

O2 XDA II mini s Tomtom Naviagator 5

I have a O2 XDA II mini s and Tomtom Naviagator 5 software. I am using a Tomtom BT GPS Reciver.
When I try installing the software I get the Windows Error Box.
Can anyone give me a straight forward solution to this problem, I have trawled through just about every forum I can find to no avail.
Its driving me nuts please help!

The solution is simple really.
tomtom 5.00 is apparently not compatable with wm5... well it is just not off the CD.
You have a choise either you direct to the cd "pocket pc" and copy the zip/cab files over to your phone and install it from your phone. Then you install maps onto your hard disk and copy them to a storage point.
OR
d/l tomtom 5.** about .20 currently, install that then you will still have to copy the voice from the voice directory on the CD tp the storage on your phone and will still have to do the same with the maps.
if you want you b.t. gps to work I found to copy the gps cab file and install from the phone.
it all works very well even 5.00 but like I said you cant install from the CD.
its a pain, hope this helps

Ive Tried copying the following cab files
D:\tomtom\nveur\pocketpc\gps.zip
D:\tomtom\nveur\pocketpc\PIMMAddin.zip
D:\tomtom\nveur\pocketpc\ttn.zip
D:\tomtom\nveur\pocketpc\wizard.zip
Ive installed them on my phone but i cant find the application to launch Tomtom.
Ive also tired download the update and installing the cab files, i have the same problem with that.
Am i missing anything?
Im thinking of getting ALK CO-Pilot has anyone had any problem installing it to a Wizard.

just remove it and try d/l 5.21 off the tt website.
install it from your PC not as cab.
Also you may need to install your today cab, but this is not a normal thing. also you may have to send off for a new activation code if you used tt5 on another phone.
good luck and you will have the same problem with co-pilot as it also designed for wm2003/se so stick with tomtom.
look in the jamin section there is a post i put in about solving this problem

Help installing TomTom on my Vodafone 1640 (XDA exec)

I have just upgrade my phone to 1640 and i am trying to install Tomtom version 5. The CD kept reporting an error so i download the version 5.21 and it's now install but i do not know how to install the maps, gps, voices etc.
Can anybody tell me what i need to do know. I just appear to have a base Tomtom 5.21 installed on my PDA

Hi there
You need to install the maps directory at the root of your SD-Card. Typically, if you wanted the French maps, it would be the "France-map" directory.
