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

Hi,
I have successfully installed TomTom 5 using BeyondTheTech's instructions, and everything works beautifully on the Great Britain map, which is about 100MB.
Yesterday I tried to switch to other maps, particularly the France map (which is about 200MB) and the Italy Plus map (which is also about 200MB too), and no way, it won't do that. What it does it freezes TomTom.
When this happens I can get to the Memory applet in Control Panel and stop TomTom, but then to restart it I need to patch the CurrentMap file in MyDocuments so that TomTom will ask which map I want to use, and only if I select Great Britain it will work fine. With the other two it just freezes as soon as I click it.
Before anybody asks, my license code is for the whole of Europe!!!!
Also, all three maps worked perfectly on my Treo 650, the device I had before the KJAM.
Anyone else has this problem?
Thanks.
I have the KJAM with TTN5 installed and i use currently the France-map without problem, also the italy-map-plus is working well. I have the navigator installed on miniSD like the maps. It's not very quick to open up, but don't freeze like you tell.
I see it freezing with italian map on my PDA2K with WM5 until i moved the navigator program from main memory to SD card. KJAM is not a PDA2k but you can try to uninstall the navigator from main memory and install it on miniSD (or move it and change the registry according to the new place).
Thanks for your reply.
My installation is indeed on the miniSD card already, not on main memory. So, I am very puzzled.
I will try and re-make the maps via the TomTom CD's and copy again to the card, and see if it makes a difference.
Can you confirm that you are able to switch maps residing on the card without problems?
Grazie (sono italiano anch'io).
Yes, i don't have problems to use the maps and i can change between them. I'm currently in France and i use a lot the france-map, but also changing back to the italian plus map is not a problem.
You put the map folder in the root of miniSD, right? And you tried to kill all the applications in background before starting TTN5? Stupid questions i know
Ciao
I have to GB maps installed and TT5 freezes near the end of any journey
and its loaded onto the mini SD card. Map includes camera data and I also have all voices loaded, rather no lose camera data but i am not sure if TT5 uses ov2, bmp or both files. Also should I trim the voice file to the one i use
Well.. till now i never see it freezing on kjam, but on my PDA2K with WM5 yes. It was freezing when i have it on main memory (then moved to SD) and when the bluetooth is off (or when pocketzenphone change profile to BT off at schedule time and i'm using TTN).
I use TTN5 with Checkpoint for POI and i have some slow down (but not freezing) when i enable a lot of POI, but if i keep only camera radar is fast enough. Ahh... and i use only one voice file, but i don't think that having many voice files it's a problem.
I was using TomTom on my previously owned Treo 650, and thought that the maps on the memory card could be reused.
I have now rebuilt all the maps from scratch using the original TomTom CD's, and now everything works great. I can switch maps with no problems.
I am also using the speed camera database from PocketGPS, and no problem at all with those either. No freezes, everything works perfectly, including Traffic.
Thanks again for the help.
I seem to have a problem when i try to install tomtom 6 to my qtek 9000.
Everytime i choose for the application to be installed in my SD card but always it gets installed in the phone storage=>program files=>navigator.
Am i doing something wrong or tomtom cannot be installed in the SD card?
My main problem having to install the tomtom in the phone memory is that i have to include the voices as well as the postcodes in the phone memory and that limits the use of the qtek to have various other applications.
Is it any way to change the path of eg postcodes in the tomtom?

Is it safe to install other programs to the micro SD card like a gps program (I have teletype GPS - at least there is no monthly fee - I have in my Dell Axim X50V) like voice command 1.6, pocket informant and others..
Thank you for any insight
I do the same , i save programs on the Micro SD. I have not seen any problems yet. it seems to be okay.

Can i install 2 map in the same memory card? or one country one memory?
i have Canada map under TomTom folder, and i'm trying to put the US map in it, but the canada map will be erased, can anyone direct me? thanks a lot!
If you put your map folders directly at the root of the storage card, then TomTom should see them all when you do a switch map.
Hi all, i had resco exploer, resco backup, sk tools, jwmd icon changer, CFC3D- where u guys recommend to install? rest of other application i had install in my card memory... except this few application sw.. Thks

It's worth doing I filled my 8gb and now I'm using a 16gb card. I went for a Duracell card after doing some research - they are reliable and have good chips.
System applications on the phone memory and other apps and games on memory card (mine is 16gb since it came with TMOUS)
wow.. stock 16gb? dat nice....
