TomTom 6 XDA 2 - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Has anyone else had the problem with tomtom6 when you load it onto the XDA2 it loads into the storage area on the XDA this causes the maps not to be found on the storage card. I have tried to change the name of the storage are but it will not allow me to do this. The tomtom I am using is an auto load so you do not have a choice were it loads to. When you run tomtom6 it just say's maps not found although they are loaded onto the storage card. by the way tomtom5 works find on the same device. Thanks for any replys.

Try installing the canary map ( 4 MB IIRC ) onto the SD card as well, it was / is a workaround for this problem for the UK map.
Hope that helps.

TOMTOM MAPS INSTALLATION ON EXEC?????

Ok so i've got TomTom working on my Exec up to the point where the Wizard says No Maps!!!
i've dragged the 120mb Great Britain .CAB files onto my SD Card aswell - an clicked and it says its installed it - but still says NO MAPS!!!
can anyone help?
am i using the right maps - off the cd1 TOMTOM5? :roll:
I just sorted mine this afternoon. Load the maps straight on the card via a card reader.
cheers timbo
can you tell me which map files you've dragged onto your card?
these:-?
Great_Britain 103,756KB Winzip file
Great_Britain 1KB Configuration Settings
and where abouts onto the card? just straight onto the main Root?
cheers

Memory Management?

Hello,
actually I´m trying to install all programs and data which may be helpful for me on my new Vodafone compact s.
But very fast I run into data memory limitations.
I´m using a SD card and the installers give me the choice to install the programs either in the device or in the storage card.
What is your advice:
which type of programs or data should be stored inside the device or on the storage card (compatibility of programs with operation from SD card..., any differences in access speed..., what happens when I change the SD card and the installed programs are missing ...)???
Cheers, Gerd
Almost all my programs are running from my 4GB SD, no problems so far….
But what I do have on main memory (because they’ll slow down the device otherwise) are
1.Resco Explorer
2.Photo Contacts Pro
3.PocketPlus
4.PocketBreeze
5.TCMP
Hope this’ll help :wink:
All the programs that I use on my Today, I used to put on my device memory. The rest on the SD. Be sure you read the programs, they used to tell us where is the place to save it.
Hello and Thank You for your answers!
The actual state of my investigations is also that almost programs can be installed on the SD card.
One exception: the .NET 2.0 from Micro$oft, which I need for WifiFoFum doesn´t run from the card
Cheers, Gerd
I installed NET framework 2.0 on my SD card, no problems there.
no matter where you instal cf .net it goes to main memory like voice command. safe bet is today plug in's in main everything storage, because crucial updates won't really let you choose. it just appears that way.
Problem: Voice Files for TomTom Nav. 5 on SD
With the voice files for TomTom Navigator 5 I had a problem with installing on SD card:
I installed all (program, maps etc.) on SD card and it worked well, beside that it was not possible to select the stored voices. After installing the voice files in internal memory (doing this, TomTom insisted, that the files allready are installed ...) the voices could be selected in the settings menue of TomTom.
Cheers, Gerd
P.S.: with the largest map (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland and Czechia, more than 400MB) TT needs about 1 minute tu start up.

TomTom problem..cant find maps.

hi i have got tomtom v5.21 installed but it cannot find maps. where do i put maps is there any specyfic folder i shell put them in or someother way to get it working. i installed tomtom and put maps to storage card and when i run TT is says no maps found. any help appreaciated cheers

You have to put the state/country map folder in the root of either main memory or a storage card. TT will not see maps in directories deeper than that. I keep mine in \Storage Card\State1-Map, \Storage Card\State2-Map, and so forth.
HTH.
this is excatly where i keep my maps \storage card\name_of_the_map
and it still cant find them ..any ideas ?
tomtom v5.21 installed but it cannot find maps
make a file only needs to in 1 kb named CurrentMap.dat in my dokuments \TomTom\
i got currentmap.dat file in folder \my dosument\tomtom
still cannot find mops.
shell the location of the maps be:
\storage card\name_of_the_map\map
or just \storage card\name_of_the_map
cheers
setup.dat?
Do you have a file called setup.dat in \storage card\my docutments\tomtom?

V5.21 needs newer maps than v5.0. Check the version number in the .pna file. Which map are you trying to install?

That's correct. You must use v567 US maps, for example.
same problem with TomTom but FIXED IT NOW
Had the same error {map not found} thought it was TomTom error so i bought Destinator (excellent software) but the problem was identical.
So bought a new storage card Contacted Qtek about it:
"Thank you for your E-mail. Regarding your query, please note that the SD card standard is limited to 2 GB and our devices are fully compliant to the standard. Cards with the capacity greater than 2 GB are not compliant to the standard and we cannot guarantee that they will function correctly. As to transferring speed, we recommend not using ultra speed SD cards with the speed more than 64x as they either will not work or may pose problems later. Also we would like to inform you that some SD cards need to be formatted using any PC / Laptop (supporting SD cards) before using with our devices.".
So put in a 45x speed 2GB SD card and still the same problems.
Contacted Microsoft and they gave me a hint:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q277/7/42.ASP
Finaly all works perfect now running Destinator 6 & Navigon 5.2.6
SO ALLWAYS CREATE FOLLOWING FOLDER ON STORAGE CARD
Storage Card\My Documents
You do not have to have any files in this folder (mine is empty)
Tuurtje
please let me know if this solved your problem

Tomtom 5 install keeps crashing.

I'm using an Orange M3100 and a windows xp laptop running active sync 4.2.
The install works fine up until it tells you what it's going to install. Click next and it always crashing. I've tried on another laptop and get the same result. Even tried a mates navigator 3 and that does the same too.
Am I mising something here, since everyone else installs it fine :?
Make sure it is version 5.21, I think earlier versions are not compatible with WM5.
I get the same problem with my v1605. It is 5.21 but it does the same.
I had no problems on mine, it's 5.21 with spanish maps... have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=58539
My disk isn't the right version so I can't install anything from it. I've grabbed the 5.21 pach and that install's fine and i've manually installed all the cabs that I need (I think), my main problem now is the maps. I've not got a memory card yet so where's the best place to put them. Running the cabs just dumps the files in the same directory and tom tom wont find them that way.
Here is my experience with Tomtom.The maps are just copied to the sd card on the root folder with some name like. Germany-Map or Australia-Map. Tomtom only recognises any directory with a -Map ending in the folder. You can just add nice pov by just copying the files to the appropriate directory. If you want to save space in your main memory copy the tomtom executable to the TomTom directory on the sd card and most imortantly to have tomtom running is to have the currentmap.dat file in your My Documents/TomTom directory. Voices can be copid to the VOICES directory on the sd card. Hope this helps some people.

Trouble installing Tom Tom

Just got my new white Trinity w/ GPS & Tom Tom. When I try to install it, I get a low memory error and install aborts. I have 41Mb storage and 21Mb program mem free.
Anyone else have trouble? Can it be installed to card?
It can be installed to the card, yes, but I never had that problem, altough I have installed TomTom many times.
I got a lot of problems but not this one !
Is this the HTC version that is downloaded on their web site ?
CD that was in the box. They have a cab file to dnload?
Tomtom refused to install on SD
I had the same problem - and the option "install into default installation folder" was checked and grayed out, so I could not tell Tomtom to install onto SD.
I backuped my Trinity, cleared the internal storage, connected to Activesync as "Guest", installed Tomtom to the internal storage, then moved the folder \Program Files\Navigator to a folder \Program Files\Navigator I created on my SD card.
After that, I restored my device. All I had to do after that was to manually add a shortcut to the Tomtom application in my Start Menu folder.
This worked for me.
Cheers Stefan
(I installed Tomtom from CAB available on the European HTC web site: http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htcp3600.html)
No cab file there. It is a exe that loads via Activesync. I get the same low mem error as with the CD. I have 62 Mb free. This is rediculous.
Gave up. The installer creates a temp cab in
program files/activesync/HTC apps
If you can't find it, search the C drive for *.cab and sort by date.
Copy that file while the installer is still open. Run it from the storage card. Worked fine.
