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.

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

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:
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.
Ok I am trying to get TomTom running on my 8125. It seems as though I have everything set up right, but when it takes me to the choose a map page, it just hangs there. I have tried US maps, and a Great Britan map, but nothing happens. Anyone know what the problem could be? IT is really driving me insane. Also, I dont see anywhere where to set up GPS unit.
setup.dat?
Do you have a file called setup.dat in \storagecard\my documents\tomtom? You need this file for TomTom to work.
I have to check, I uninstalled it the other day, because i was getting very frustrated. You wouldnt have an installer, or know where to find one at would you?
What kind of TOMTOM are you using?
The maps are in specific format and secondly it depends what kind of tomtom you are using. I mean original or cracked. Post it and i can let you know how to set it up. It's not hard. Works fine on mine 8125 with Holux GpSlim 236.
Take care.
Hummer, I been trying to post my program here but it is too big. Are you running a cracked or a clean version? I have been trying to use a cracked one i found somewhere, but having trouble installing it.
How to...
I am using 5.21 cracked. got it from emule. What you need to do is copy the file on your sd card and then execute it in the pocket pc. then do not open it. Copy the cracked folder in my documents and then replace tomtom.exe file with the cracked exe file, which is inside the crack folder. You can find the original one in program--Navigator. Replace it and install whatever voice you want and then run it. You will be able to bypass activation. Copy the maps in the sd card and your software will detect the maps and you will be good to go.
let me know if it works.
take care.
TomTom 5.21 Success on 8125
The key to TomTom 5.21 is that most of the maps running around (at least for the US) are too old to be recognized by 5.21. The maps need to be 567 (that's V5.67) or greater.
Get everything you need right here:

:wink:
Initially I had problems with getting tom tom 5.21 to recognize the maps I copied over to the sd card. I actually had to install the maps from the setup cd from an earlier version. Everything is working smooth now.
Latest USA maps????
I have USA and Canda maps and they work fine with my 8125 but the only problem i have is that these maps are old and don't show my neighbourhood and many other places even though all these places are there for the past 3 years.
Can anyone tell me where can i get the latest maps or may be the recent one that will work.
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks
Latest USA maps????
I need latest US maps for my 8125. Please help! The version of TomTom is 5.21
Thanks!
Here you go - all the US maps can be downloaded from here : http://www.tomtom.com/plus/services/mds.php
in My documents >>> tomtom folder....
do you have a file called CurrentMap.Dat
it needs this file to recognise maps. the file does nothing but needs to be there.
you can make a file in notepad and send it to your ppc, just make sure the file name is correct
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
Chris
TomTom
Which version of TomTom do I need to purchase for my TyTn? I live in the US.
I am using 5.21, but with spanish maps. Don't know for the US, sorry.
Thats ok. Thanks for the reply. Are you talking about TomTom Mobile or TomTom Navigation?

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?
I will be recieving the t-mobile ameo and i would like to know if maps for navigation programs such as tomtom or copilot can be stored and run from the internal memory instead of an SD card?
I have only got a micro sd card.
thanks
You just copy whats needed to the 8GB internal drive (Maps, Voices, Postcode data etc), as for program installation I let them go on the device, there is loads more memory available on the Ameo than the C-III - Mike
