I am thinking of upgrading to Navigator 6 for my K-Jam, but on the Tomtom website it isnt listed as being compatible. Anyone installed it ok and is it worth the upgrade from Nav5?

TomTom are so inconsistent. Whilst not listing Wizard compatibility with TTN6 and map for some packages, they do with others. See here listed as compatible (MDA Vario / 9100).
Just be aware only v660 build 1223 maps work on TTN5.2 and TTN6. Meaning if you dont have these maps already on your setup you will need to buy new.
However new v675 build 1409 maps were released last week and so may appeal to you.
TomTom 6 is running verey well. Fast, stable and well working with telefonfunction of your PPC - turns sound off and on again while in call.
Update MN6 - no way!!! It is rather slow!

Hi,
Are there any former MDAiii / Co-Pilot owners that have successfully installed verion 5 of co-pilot on to their MDA Pros?
If so, HOW?
I am experincing problems commnuicating with the bluetooth GPS unit.
youll probbably need to un hide the gps pannel an then set the bt comp ports up
how is this done?
i read a thread reference TOM TOM and a reg hack but not sure whether that applies to the MDA PRO?

Are you using the original version or the updated 5.0.1.48 ?
I'm using .48 and select Bluetooth for my GPS and it picked it up straight away
hmmm very strange - I installed the 2003 cab / TT5 and my MDA shows version 5.0.1.22.
I have received an email from ALK and they have stated that Co-pilot V.5 isnt compatible with Version 6.
I am getting a free upgrade to version 6 next week but thanks for your help!
How does Co-Pilot compare to TomTom 5? I hear CoPilot 6 is now out too.

.22 was the shipping version, .48 is a free download on their web site, just copy the .cab to your SD card, uninstall, and then run CAB, it should be fine

Haven't seen 6, TT was useless to be as it had no coverage of Ireland, neither the Republic or 6 Counties.
CoPilot 5 had the best coverage at the time

Do you mean CoPilot 5 not compatible with WM5 ? How come you are getting a free upgrade ?
Oops sorry about that that last reply of mine didnt make much sense did it.
According to ALK Co-Pilot 5 is not compatible with WMv5.0 - thats what they said in an email when I asked them about co-pilot 5 not working with mda pro.
I originally had the MDA iii with co-pilot 5 but found a fault with it within the first few weeks. If you are within 28 days then you can get a free exchange but luckily for me there were no more in stock and they were being discontinued by this time so I waited just over two months and got a free upgrade to the MDA Pro but my Co-Pilot stopped working so I had a winge at customer services and they arranged it with a store to swap the co-pilot out when they get it in stock.
SWEET! :wink:
have been struggling to load tomtom on my XDA Ex. On the occasions it has run, there was no link for GPS receiver and on occassions was getting a fizzy image. Any help out there from someone who has managed to load this

I'm running version 5.21 (5430) for PocketPC with GPS driver v1.20 on an XDAIIi.
I loaded tt5.21 on my fathers exec last night, I am assumiing you are using a BT gps receiver? If so then make sure you pair the gps BEFORE loading on tt5.21, then go to comms manager and select gps device in bt settings, then set it to outgoing and assign com 0 to it. then start up tt5.21 and select other bt gps, then select com 0. that is how I got it to work. Under ver 5 it wold not do anything at all, even though either version works fine on my 2i !!!! But 5.21 works just fine on the exec.
Tomtom Now Working
Thanks guys for your contributions. I now have Tomtom Version 5.21 on my XDA Exec.
This has been after so many hours of frustration and browsing the web to find the solution after I got the phone.
I have installed a cracked version which worked after trying so many cracked version which I had found on the net.
I now believe that some of the cracked ones have got some files corrupt or misssing because I dont see why they were not working.
Now I love my phone.
My qustion is with this cracked version WOULD I be able to access TomTom WHETHER AND TRAFFIC ? OR THIS IS A NO GO AREA?
Would the TomTom website know that mine is not a legit copy? :lol:
@ two4one
The cracked versions are recognised as being cracked and don't work with updates etc....
To avoid hastles with this site lets not mention warez, I'm not squeaky clean myself, but it can cause problems for the site developers and so on.
Glad you're happy with it though.
TomTom Navigator V5.210
I Too am running TTN Version 5.210 on an XDA IIi :lol:
Hello,
I just bought a MDA Pro and tried today TomTom 6 with my new device.
Why is it so slow?? It has a 520MHz pocessor but it is even slower than my previous qtek 9100 @200MHz??
I have all the POI's turned off but that doesn't help.
Can someone please help me out here?
My Device info:
ROM: 2.50.00 WWE
Radio: 0.00.00 (sim unlocked)
Protocol: 42.37.P8
Regards,
Schmia
TT6 havent been releashed yet.
Wait for the final version to come out....oh and offcourse remember to pay for it before you ***** about it
wakeUpe dude!!!
TomTom is for sale in Holland, so your stupid comment is useless.
Norway is way behind! He he he ;-))
Schmia
I have it in UK too. Screen refresh is about twice per second. What are you seeing?
I'm running on O2 Exec with a BT77 GPS.
Cheers,
Steve
on jasjar, tomtom is only slow in landscape, not in portait

Mine's just the same. Two frames per second in landscape mode.
In portrait mode it's a little bit better but not fast.
I'm using a tomtom bluetooth Sirf III reciever

WTF. I am awake......LOL.....I even checked tt's website
But yes, Norway is waaaaaay behind
are you sure mine is running fine much smoother than tt5 even in landscape
if your using a cracked version this could be the problem
hi, using tt6 on my mda pro without any issues..it is prefect. i would not say it it slow by any means..it is much better the tt5 - just the lack of rotation within the tt's menu is a minus...but u cannot have everything, can you ?

Go back to TT5 mate.TT6 sucks!

M5000/MDA Pro TomTom6 Bluetooth GPS How?
How the hell have you all got TT6 working?
I read on TT's site that its not SPVM5000 compatible (Not listed on the devices)
I have had TT5.21 working sweet as a nut on the M5000, with BT GPS (Model: FGPXBT02)!
Scrathing my head on this one - TT6 installs, loads, even allows me to configure home address, configure GPS device and navigate to all the menus, but it will not find the bloody GPS receiver.
How come?? when it worked fine on TT5.21??? Surely TT have not removed generic bluetooth support?
If someone has a generic bluetooth GPS receive working with TT6 I would be grateful if you told me how! - Dont want to have to go back to using 5.21 (even though it looks like the only solution!)
Cheers.

Ever tried TomTom 5? On my Magician TomTom 6 is slower than TomTom 5, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1026668#post1026668
Update!!!
I have now successfully implemented TomTom V6 on an Orange SPVM5000.
After trying all sorts of stuff, including iGo2006 to chech the GPS was working, I hard reset the M5000 and re-installed TomTom V6 ... This still did not work... AAARRRGGGHHH
Searching through the forums I discovered that the 'NO GPS DEVICE' was common through all versions of TOM TOM and a solution was presented by a fellow user.
It turns out that TOM TOM (Any version) does not work unless you have the phone switched on (Smartphone versions only).
Out with the old simcard (defunct, just being used to stop the phone whinging about 'INSERT SIM') and in with a new PAYG from orange (not gonna use it for phoning as I have a BLACKBERRY, just using the M5000 as satnav and wireless PDA - have hands free car kit installed and did not want to remove it!!! )
Voila - the bloody thing works now - finds the GPS Device, finds the satellites and navigates the routes.
oooo - seems quicker than 5.21, and the maps look smarter - but thats about it. The maps dont seem to have been updated as our new build house number is still not on there, and the old properties have been demolished 18 months!!!! oh well - at least i have sat nav in the car again!!!
Lessons to be learned from this!!! - Don't disable the phone - lmao
Cheers!!!!
TT6 works very fine on my Universal. BT GPS and Contacts Navigation works without any problems. Redraw speed is awesome when compared to TT5.2 (at least with my configuration), although it is still less responsive than TT5.2 on a Magician.
The map for Germany is quite up to date as far as I can check.
.ox
I have an official copy of TT Nav. 5 and I have asked TT support how to upgrade to TT Nav. 6.
I've been VERY disappointed by the answer:
1) "TT Nav. 6 is not compatible with the JasJar" but is with the Qtek 9000?
2) There is no upgrade available, I would have to buy the full version, since it's "a new product"
As far as you know, would there be an upgrade available from 5 to6 in the near future? Or TT assumes its paying customer would just throw away the old version they have and buy a full new version every time?
Can't believe no-one needs/wants to update its TT5!
I'm not sure if I understand the question..
I am currently running TomTom 6.010 on my Jasjar - it works fine, albeit a bit slower than 5.21
I run TomTom v6 on my IIs with out a trouble.
There is no v5 to v6 upgrade, and v6 works fine with all flavours of Universal.
Cheers,
Steve.
tt6 works fine in exec but its slow in landscape mode . am going back to 5.21.
why buy it when its free . torrent it dude
I agree, running 6.01 fine on Qtek 9000 with french rom 1.30.97. Faster than 5.21 to my opinion...
What is the most reliable Sat Nav software for MDA Vario II? I have been looking at Garmin Mobile XT or Co-Pilot 7
Just wondered about any reccomendations?
Any comments would be much appreciated
people report various success with different software depending on where they are in the world for map covering and updates
fair point, well I'm in the UK so does anyone know the best ones for UK coverage?
Thanks
I'm in the UK and use Tom Tom on my Touch Diamond, it works really well. Have only just got myself a Hermes (£25) so have yet to try any sat nav software on, yet.....
TomTom
I've used TomTom software on all the following devices with excellent results:
- SPV M500 (Magician)
- SPV M3100 (Hermes)
- HTC Touch HD (Blackstone)
IGO 7 works like charm on my hermes.
Cheers
what version of Tom Tom is reccomended? I have Windows Mobile 6
Thanks
The Tomtom ripped from the tytn II is OK, Tomtom 7. You do need to purchase the maps though...
Can anyone confirm that TomTom 6 works on the Hermes?
or what is the best version to run and why?
Thanks
I can confirm both tomtom 6 & tomtom 7 both work fine on hermes.
For tomtom 7 you can get the more recent maps, but it requires more ram to run. When I was running a m2d rom I had tomtom 7 close randomly on me a few times. No problems if you have more than about 15MB ram free though.
I like Tomtom 7, have no problem running it on my Jasjam... As I said though, you need to purchase the maps. The best things in life don't always come for free...
