I have installed a (legitimate since you ask) copy of tomtom NAVIGATOR 6 onto my MDA Vario II. The 4+ Mb programme resides in main memory and the Western_Europe map and everything else is on the 2Gb Sandisk Micro SD card. I have a Fuzion SiRF starIII bluetooth GPS receiver. tomtom's US website says the hardware and software are compatible, the UK site does not. The programme runs very slowly (it's not smooth as I have seen demonstrated on a Mio, which had a 312Mhz processor, but is stilted). Sometimes the machine locks up and I have to press the 'OK' button. When browsing the map, the machine struggles to process the picture. I ensure that there are no running programmes. What is the cause, please? Could it be that the hardware and software are incompatible?
just try to flash aku 3.3 to your vario. it will make ur phone work smooth and will not hang at all. then u will be able to run tomtom 6 perfectly
Rather than risk aku 3.3 issues I suggest you are probably right and there is soe sort of hardware issue. I have navigator 6 and TOMTOM BT receiver and hav absolutely no issues at all
I use TT6 on a daily basis and I can say that under WM5 AKU2.3 it used to hang very often when putting post code. I ran ok. After flashing AKU3.3 it works flawlessly. The same with WM6. Now it also seems to run a little bit faster.
Hi, everybody,
any ono knows where a can find a tomtom software for my Asus p535.Sorry to ask but i'm new on this matter and don't know how to do it.
Many thanks...

Welcome, but you are in the wrong place my friend. This is the HTC Hermes forum. This site is primarily for HTC devices. However here is Tomtom 6 for PPC phones (official tomtom site):

What you need to do is disable all the POI's except the speed cameras. Mine did exactly the same thing. You can still navigate to the POI's, they just don't show up as you're driving past.
Cheers.
ok... maybe you guys who have already told him to upgrade his phone to aka3... somthing or other do know best BUT...
could you please say what version of tomtom 6 you have. (there are at least 3 versions i have used)
to find this
load tomtom
on the navigation window tap the section of the screen that shows GPS signal strenth this will load the route summary window.
in here below the right hand side pannel that again show the GPS signal strength it should say the version number 6.XXX
please let me know what versino you have... i have found varying levels of stability and performace with diff versions of tomtom.. might be as simple as a different tomtom build to resolve your issues.

yep this is the same on mine, disabled all but a few POIs and no or very rare freezes. if it does freeze up hit the hangup button and relaunch.
there was some hope with the Version 7 tomtom out soon that there would be a fix for the problem.

My Hermes is running with AKU 3.3 and my TomTom is 6.0.30
ok. i have had pretty good results with 6.0.30 but it might be worth you trying the 6.0.20 version and see how you get on.
at least you will loose the anoying mute on start bug. (the phone sees a data connection and asuumes its a phone calls so starts in mute.)
ok well the results your described i saw with the first tomtom 6 i used, im assumeing it was on 6.0.00 but i have had pretty good results with 6.0.30 but
it might be worth you trying the 6.0.20 version and see how you get on. I'm using that this week by mistake since my last hard reset but its been stable for me.
at least you will loose the anoying 6.0.30 mute on start bug. (the phone sees a data connection and asuumes its a phone calls so starts in mute.)

Can anyone please help, I use a XDA Exec with TomTom 5.1 and it works fine, But is there way like on TomTom 3 where i can have TomTom not running in full screen mode.
I like this way as i can keep a eye on the signal strength of the phone whilst driving, as mine like others and looses signal and needs a soft reset to fix it, But of corse with TomTom running you cant see if the phone is out of service
Thanks

Unlikely! TTNav-5 appears to be the version for their stand-alone TomTom-Go devices with a few bodges to get it to run (sometimes) on a PDA.
Although TTNav-5 has a few nice touches over v3, as far as PDA navigation software goes, TomTom seem to have lost their way! :lol:
Admittedly a personal opinion, but I've been using TTNav since the first version.

I agree completely! TT3 was far more flexible IMHO than this new 5.1 version, which seems crippled and unhelpful by comparison. :roll:
I'm wondering about using alternatives. Has anybody who's tried both TT and other nav systems got any comments? People mention CoPilot 6, but as far as I can tell, that runs off an SD card that they supply, which is no use when your SD card slot is used for music storage in the car.

John -
My solution to the same problem was to install PocketPlus and use its button mapping and task switching features to program the pointless videocall button on the keyboard to switch apps. One press while looking at TomTom takes me straight to the screen I saw before opening TomTom (media player? Today screen?), where I can check my signal strength or control my music. Another press takes me back to TT. Worked fine. But once again I'm having to use a bodge to overcome limitations of crap software. :evil:
Thanks for the replies, i am glad i am not the only one that is frustrated with it. I will try the sugestions.
Thanks again. John
Have just received my Kingston 1GB Transflash card and installed TTN v602 on my Hermes.
Installation was succesfull but each time I start TTN the software freezes. It wont respond to any screen taps. If I go back to the Today Screen and select the TTN icon in the sys tray it brings TTN back up and it works fine.
Anyone else exerienced this and know of any fix...
Many thanks
Try and wait for a long long time. My Charmer starts TomTom.. in.. almost 2 minutes.
I run TT 6.02 (7980) on an German Vario II
This Version makes nothing Problems
It wont respond to any screen taps. If I go back to the Today Screen and select the TTN icon in the sys tray it brings TTN back up and it works fine.

I get the exact same problem sometimes. I just figured that it was doing it because it was reading off the card or something.
Running TTN601 on mine... Have a similar problem... I've setup a key (recorder key) to start software for ease and find if you run it up, hit red end call button then restart (I then use rec button) all is well and it won't lock up.
Very strange...
I did have a problem with it locking up on a longish journey, say 80 miles or so.. I had to re install it and since the re install it has been perfect (watch it lock up now !!)
Also running it on a new 2Gb sandisk card, only £33 off Ebay, not bad value. Just copied one card to the other via 2 card readers, no problems, I mention that as some folks appear to have had problems.
Phil
Well Im glad its not just me - makes me feel better! Still, TTN worked perfectly on my Wizard so I am very confused as to why it gives me probs now.
Maybe its down to the Transflash card. Over the weekend I will do some more testing and re-installation and let you know how I get on.
Merry XMAS everyone!
same problem here. it always seems to crash when i'm entering in a postcode. Always took me about 3 attempts to type in the full code!
Yep, same here as well, tapping the red end call button and then clicking on the tomtom hands again does bring it back but it is very annoying, needs to be fixed though along with the bluetooth issues as well.
I would not of got this phone if i new about these issues, i am sure these problems can be resolved with a new firmware, the trouble is T-Mobile seems to be useless as releasing one. There are other ones released so that might be an option if they dont hurry up and release a new one.
The wizard was much more reliable, had very few issues with that once flashed with molskis rom shame one cant be made for this model.
TTN 6 is a bit of a slug on my tytn, especially when you enter a street and it has to crunch through the list.. it 'crashes' occasionally when you select exit.. apart from that though it starts snappy and does it's job.
In my case, TomTom freezes only when I load big(ger) maps like Western-Europe or the Benelux-Plus. When I load a smaller map, say the Benelux, then TomTom works like a charm, no freezes at all!
I tried TomTom 6.0, 6.01 and 6.02: all the same problems with large(r) maps.
Same Problem
I've the same problem when i use the TT without a GPS-Device. When GPS device is on, there is no problem at all. No Idea Why....
Fuzzi
Hi! I raised the same problem about one month ago but without any reasonable solution. Someone tell to delete the COM port on the BT pair, someone tell to enable security on the COM port of the BT pair... I tried all TTN6 versions (6.0, 6.0.1 and 6.0.2) on my TyTN (also with different ROM versions) but Navigator still freezes when inserting adresses, with or without GPS receiver (I'm using TomTom Wireless GPS MkII)...

I have experience the same with my tytn with latest htc rom I have now installed v5.210 and tested today on 2 trips 20 & 50 mile trips without any freezing so will stick with this for now..
Was there any update to this? or is it basically go back to version 5 of TT?
Cheers
If it any help I'm running TTN601 with a Holux GPSlim236. It is set to use Com port 4 with no additional input or output ports configured.
If I run TT and then within a few seconds try to navigate by entering either a postcode or an address etc it will lock up and I have to exit the program.
I have found that if I run the program up, then close it (it doesn't really appear to shut, just the screen returns to the today screen) then re run TT it will then work without a hitch.. I've setup my voice recorder button to run TT on 1 short press to save even needing the stylus.
I guess it may be a memory problem why it locks up but this method works 100 % for me since I started doing it and it's no great hassle with a key having been configured..
TTN6.01 works fine, I've got all the real voices setup for speed camera warnings etc (the OGG files). I don't bother with the TT cameras, I use pocketgps for mine...
Just incase it's a memory issue I've just checked mine by clicking on the version sats icon, then version icon on the screen.
I'm running version 6.010 (7720) with 16.6MB of free ram and gps driver v1.2.. I understand that there is version 6.02 available but that may cause me problems greater than the minor quick restart one so I will stick with this one for now...
p.s some folks seem to think that the larger the micro sd card you have the slower the Tytn(m3100 in my case) seems to get but I've got a 2 gig card loaded with MP3's and even a couple of full length movies should I get board over christmas and the new year (sad isn't it !) and it appears no slower than with a half empty 1 gig card..
May be some of that is of help..
Phil
Some other strange issues...
Not sure if this problem is related to TT freezing, but after I have been out on a journey and closed TomTom down a few of the icons from my Start --> Settings --> System screen are missing.
I have lost GETPDA.exe so cant post what remains - but things like Device Info are missing. They return after a soft boot.
Anyone else have the same probs?
Happy new year!
I'm using the latest Australian ROM, and TomTom Navigator 6.02, running the Australian map with no issues at all. Navigation is fast, and works perfectly with no crashes - I just returned from a ~2500km journey using TomTom on my phone the whole way with no issues at all.
Running a GlobalSat BT308 bluetooth GPS, security enabled, set to COM0.
Problem Resolved!
Ok - looks like TomTom have released an update that fixes the issue with the Hermes crashing during menu selection.
I now have version 6.100 (7970) installed and it works perfectly!
EDIT - also, this new version is sooo fast!! A vast improvement!
No Issues (with the software at least)
Hello All
I hav ebeen using TomTom v6.0 on my HTC TyTN for 2 months now. I have had no issues at all. No slowness, no crashing. The only issue is the Bluetooth connection to my receiver.
I am using the GB maps, so not huge.
Just waiting now for the update at the end of the month to solve the Bluetooth Issues so that the connection to my Bluetooth receiver does not keep dropping the connection.
O well, we will wait and see
TyTNMan
6.1 not available at tomtom.com
nmonger, do you know, why ver 6.1 is not available at tomtom.com as an update for ver 6.0?
If I bought 6.0, where do I now get 6.1 if not from tomtom website?
Thanks an regards,
ARO
can anybody tell me how & what is the step to get the GPS works ?
thanks..
Put some GPS software on your Ameo and point it to COM4.
what are some of the best gps software for ameo?
I would think google maps with the ability to real time track your location would be great. Anyone try that?
Tomtom Navigator 6.
Coz it's free.
Edit - I in no way condone the use of pirated software, and I'll no doubt burn in hell for my sins....
Dopod U1000
Hey!
I have an Dopod U1000, which is the Advantage/X7500/Athena but on the Asian market.
THe first and biggest problem I have is that the GPS is not working. I cannot get a GPS-fix, but I have contact with the actual GPS-unit.
It doesnt matter where I am or for how long I wait - I have never got a fix and once every now and then I get 1 or 2 satellites with very bad connection - but never a fix.
I talked to HTC about this and they didnt know anything about it.
I then, when I asked around, got a weird answer from a company here in Sweden. They guessed that since U1000 is for the Asian market they may somehow have "preprogrammed GPS" information, so that they use Asian satellites. Sounds very strange to me - as far as I know they are not geo-stationary so the satellites goes around and thus there are not specific Asian satellites.
Anyways, anyone know about this issue? Suggestions?
Thx!

Ted

the Global Positioning System is global, and should work anywhere on the globe !! apart from in war zones (and near US military bases) where the signal is sometimes deliberately degraded so enemies cant use satellite guided missiles.

This is also a big problem in Germany - it's not possible to get it working with Google Maps. We tried everything (also to disable the GPS-Splitter and use Com5 which helps with some programs, but not with Google Maps).
So we gave up for the moment waiting for an update (maybe Athena, maybe Google).

Got mine working in TT6 by doing:
Other NMEA GPS Receiver
GPS Baud Rate: 4800
Com4
Is this what everyone else is doing ?
is the Baud rate correct?
Its quite chuggy/slow compared to tt6 on universal. i.e. 2-3fps as opposed to almost smooth on universal
Also, is it possible to change that tomtom icon thats on the today screen ? its so ugly and blocky - really detracts from the otherwise lovely Ameo screen
Mine is working great. By the way, i'm using MapKing10. When setting the port just select auto and the software should be able to detect the port in use. My unit can lock on into the satellite signal in less then 5s, thats impressive.
Hi
Does anyone know where to get a copy of the aforementioned TT6 for free? I had just bought TT navigator 6 with GB + Western Europe for my Mio A701 about 3 months ago but was gutted to find I couldnt transfer the licence to my new Ameo so i sold the boxed product with the Mio.
Anyone know where I can get one (strictly for "backup" purposes of course).
Cheers
Very easily found on torrent sites.
I won't give a link here as I assume that would be frowned on by the management....
ok, will have a look. not that familiar with all this torrent stuff!

GPS Port
I looked in the registry and I found that com 5 is the official port. Strange enough com 4 and 5 work.
Getting GPS working
I purchased an A701 last week and had one hell of a time tring to get TT6 to work, even though MM worked fine. It appears that some software originally designed for ealier MS does not like Com4. I loaded a program called VisualGPSse, a freedownload, and set that to com 4 and bingo TT6 spang into life. Before using TT now I lauch that small app and it works fine. I,ll try and find the link if Google doen't find it for you.
ps. Does anyone know of an app that will allow me to use hands free, my Mio Rom R65 seems duff in this area.
getting GPS to work
I've installed my vehicle navigation software (copilot live v5) without any problem twice.
But when I tried to instal another GPS-based application called MobileGolfScorer, the system was simply unable to sense any satellite signal. Not only that, the system became extremely slow to the point of freezing up and not responding.
Then, I read about the post that says com5 is the default, so I said to myself may be I should use com5 instead of 4 in my start>setting>GPS.
After changing to com5, my MobileGolfScorer was able to recognise signal although the signal was extremely weak. Also, it was no longer freezing up. I thought that may be I've at least solved the problem and the weak signal may be due to the fact that I was not directly under the open sky.
The new problem is that after changing to com5, my copilot stopped working! When trying to reset GPS within copilot, it just said that I either did not have the GPS connected, or I was having the wrong com selection and/or baud rate. I tried all possible combinations of com and baud rate (including letting it find automatically) but unfortunately the results were the same.
Then I thought to myself may be copilot can only use com4. Since vehicle navigation is a more important application to me, I may have to sacrifice MobileGolfScorer until the problem is resolved. So I went to start>setting>GPS and reverted to com 4.
I then tried to get copilot to work but now it would not. MGS also would not work. So now I have two GPS applications that are not able to sense any signal. I can see the gsm led orange light(GPS) and green light(phone) alternating, which means that the GPS is supposed to be working, althoug the orange light disappears by itself after a while. The thing is, with or without the orange light, the software were not able to sense any GPS signal.
What do all these suggest? Any idea???
Chapter 2 to my story:
Since I'm also experiencing MD lost cluster problems, I had wonder if it could be that some system files used by the copilot program is corruptted. So I decided to hard-reset the unit and reinstall everything from scratch again. The first thing that I did after hard resett was to instal MobileGolfScorer. It did not work when I used com4 and baud rate 4800. Could not detect any GPS signal although the orange light was blinking. Then I installed Copilot live Pocket PC v5. This software has no problem detecting the signal right away. In my mind, it seems to suggest that the reason for copilot to have stopped working could be due to file corruption, while MobileGolfScorer still for some reason could not detect it. What I also failed to understnad is why for a very brief period it did detect very week signal (see chapter 1 above).
My fear: Once I was so confident that com4 and baud rate 4800 solves all problems. Now I'm less sure what is going on. If you're lucky, it works; if you not lucky it does'nt seems to work. You could be doing exactly the same thing entering the same setting but you could get different results. Is it due to file corruption? Why does it get corrupted so easily?
Let's hope some smarter mind could figure this out for us.
Its all about the sucky comport management in windows.
If one app is accessing a com port, no others can.
If windows GPS management is accessing the GPS on com5, then you shouldnt connect to com5 yourself. The whole point of the windows management is that the software port (often port4) it creates is meant to be able to be read by multiple programs.
However, most programs dont seem to like the software port. Eg, googlemaps.
I just turned off the MS GPS management and only use apps that directly attatch to com5, and only one app at a time.
I have TT7 working fine on my Orange SPV M2000 running on the explode 6.11 rom.
However, I do have a problem.
TT7 takes around 5 minuets to start for the first time.
Strangely when TT7 has been turned off and the BA left on, starting TT7 the next time only takes 8 to 12 seconds.
TT7 runs from the device and the 715 map on SD.
I also have a problem with WiFi and phone, both can be very difficult to start.
Anyone else have these problems and can someone suggest a remedy.
120+ views and no reply, I guess I must have a unique problem. Tough titty.
Nope - I just read to know what is this about - I don't use BA for navigation any more nor see anything special in new version of TT7. I would just wait for another release - so far all of those releases are not official nor final.
Nothing special in the new TT7? OK then just to clarify and for what it's worth... We have been waiting ages for an official TT7 upgrade that just ain't coming. And just like the folk on this forum who crave the latest mobile rom upgrades, 7 is better than 6 because it can use the latest up-to-date (v7) maps
Also, it's infinitely better to have PPC/PDA because they are mini computers and a phone. PNA are limited to map reading and mp3.
I've been using BlueAngel for navigation for 2 years and I dumped the idea (and switched to PNA) because of constant problems with GPS-Bluetooth-BA. Now I just turn on the PNA and have the navigation ready nearly immediately and it always works. And beacause it's based on Windows CE 5.0, I can use any navigation system I want, apart from... TomTom, as this piece of **** does not support 480x272 screens, as the ONLY navigation software for Windows CE. So far no info about wide screens and TT7 - maybe indeed it's a bit better? Anyway for me much more effective is local navigation software, mostly because of better maps for Poland and quite interesting 3D interface (TT looks boring and outdated compared to Automapa).
I totally understand your view point but choosing the right satnav is really all about up-to-date maps and user friendliness.
TT7 is much easier and quicker to use in comparison to the competition.
I am still searching for the answer to why TT7 takes so long to start on my BA.

I'm thinking it might be an issue with WM6.1 and above. I use TT6 and before I upgraded from WM6 to WM6.1, it was working like a charm. Now, it takes a few minutes to start up (and sometimes it even crashes)
I think you could be right. I use TT7 frequently and it might be worth reverting to mobile 6. Anyone know if you can safely revert from 6.11 to 6?

It should be ok. You only need to flash the phone with the older rom and that's it. If you do it, please write some feedback in here since I am interested in finding out whether or not my theory was right.

POI's are not the main problem as TT6 started fine under winmobile 2003se with even more POI's than I have now.
I just did a test and removed all POI's and the problem remains.
POI's do slow TomTom during operation but my problem is the initial starting of the application.
Hi,
Got Qtek 9090 running xplode 7.00 rom ver 6.10.00 and Tomtom 7 runs perfect. I did have problems with TT6, taking long time to boot and find BT sat nav reciever.
Best rom so far....cooool
Good to hear it!
Can you point me to the new Xplode 7.00 rom please... I have searched but cant find it.
Hi there,
i am running tt7 on my Asus P535 with WM 6.
I have this problem:
TomTom is always about 200 meters behind my actual position. I think this is so because of an not well resolution. Only if I drive very slow (about 30 km/h) tomtom shows my position correct.
I tried all versions. Repack 3 qvga, qvga... 7.450,.. 7.541...but each version came up with the same result.
Is there a possibility to stop this annoying lag ? Or do I have to cope with it. Did anyone else notice this , also?
With TT 6 (6.032) this problem never appeared.
If you're using a bluetooth reciever it sounds like it hasn't got many channels. More channels better reception - more accurate.
If the phone has gps built in then check the position of the phone in the car. It needs a clear signal to work properly. under the windscreen is best, not on the seat beside you.
Otherwise it sounds like memory problem. Other apps using ram and limiting how much the gps program can use. though most of the time when I had that problem it just kept jumping all over the place.
You have to slow down, you're driving too fast
You can also try turning off points of interest and any info you don't need. Even street names can make it laggy.

I don't think it's Tomtom's versions problem... it's the GPS signals likely
If you don't get a good signals or number of Sats yo will be far from your real position.
Consider if there are alot of obstacles which would cause or interfere with the signals:
- Tall buidlings, trees, objects
- under ground car park, buidling
- Metals (depends)
- Raining and not clear sky
- Other devices or in a high EM
- GPS chips got faulty
- Firmware or memory that store calculate functions got problem
- Not enough numbers of Sats
- ...
Hi again,
I don't think it is an GPS Problem.
I have an built-in- GPS- Receiver and I get between 6-11 Satellites.
Another user (he has the Diamond) had this problem, also. But he took the wrong tt7- Version. After using the right one everything was okay.
But it also might be the processor of my P535 ? Might that also be possible?
oh, I got about 18- 20 MB of RAM free

Have you tried using iGo or other GPS apps and experienced similar lag ?
Even on my old Wizard TomTom7 runs without problems.
Have you tried it in another car, or outside your car? Maybe your front window has a special alloy to prevent sun emission. Know this problem of some of my friends, they have had this problem (Mostly on new VW,Audi,BMW i know this problem, maybe other cras have something similar).
Hello,
I tried many other GPS-Systems. Navigon, IGO, MIO,Garmin, tt 6. But this 100-200 m lag appears only with tt 7. And this was all in the same car.
I have no ideas anymore what this might cause this.
I know, my P 535 is not the latest one but it still has got a 520MHz Intel Xscale..
It is not the map, also. I tried 3 different tt 7 maps already..

I dont think changing car will make any difference . I used tt7 on p535 without any problem at all. but i like igo or garmin more
Do you have other GPS software like CheckPoint 3.0 ? Because Checkpoint failed to run correctly with my TomTom7 and Cruise.
Hello
I have the same problem with my nex Tomtom V7. i've got a Samsung Omnia
First I try it in walk, and my position is not correct
I try many times in a car and my position is not as exact than Tomtom V6
Well, weirred.
Maybe it is the ROM then.
I am still using WM 6 [CE OS 5.2.1236 (Build 17741.0.2.1) and not "WM6.1_20748.1.4.0" ROM.
Another user just jold me that with his PPC (ASUS 636N) the same error occured.

As was mentioned above by snachez, I believe it's the amount of poi's you have showing on the screen while driving. I had the same problem with about 20 poi's showing. When I turned it down to about 4 poi's, the problem went away, and now it's SMOOTH as silk.
Hope this helps!
Sorry to chip in here. Seems like you all here uses GPS. I just bought a new PDA. MWg Zinc II with built in GPS. As I am living in Singapore, I would like to know is it possible to obtain igo Singapore map for free? GPS maps are very expensive and I would like to know where can I download it and use it as a full version without paying.
