Anyway i,ve just got this , v6 plus Maps - 108.92M & Maps v6.6 - 182.29M basically its TTN V6 GB Install will this work on the tytn ?.
Now i have searched the forum for a while for installation guides for putting this onto my ppc but all i have come up with is mostly gps reciever stuff .
I,m not quite sure about this but i have a 2gb card do i put this in my storage card and just set it up from there ,and what would i do with the maps folder i have or should i ask were it all goes ?.
Appreciate any help and thanks in advance mik.

Do you have all that on CD or have you downloaded files?

Mmmmm. We could end up in some bother if we guide you through setting up copied versions of commercial software!
So just in general terms CDs normally have a file called "setup" or "install" (or other similar .EXE file) that you run on the PC. If the application is one that will end up on a PPC device then you would have that connected via usb to your computer. Typically running the install file will then open options to setup the program on your device.
In some cases on the CD you might find a .CAB file. This you would use Active Syncs "Explorer" button to navigate to your PPCs storage card and move the CAB file across. Then on your PPC you would navigate to the CAB file and tap on it to install.
Regarding where to put Map files. My tomtom folder is on my storage card root directory. That is therefore where I put the map file. (NOT in the tomtom folder but on the root directory of the storage card. Map files for tomtom typically have names like GB_Plus_major_Roads_...... Do not rename it or else tomtom won't find it.
Mike

Hiya mike i gave it up as i thought the files could be corrupt or maybe dwnloaded from somewhere and did,nt want to ruin my phone with corrupt files .
I,m sure i,ll be seeking your or other members help in the future as i,m kinda new to ppc file transfers and what you can do with this grt phone .
Once again thanx for your input

Hallo,
It's not possible to install maps trough .cab files.
TT has to install map related lines in the .exe file, .doc file and in the reg.
So you have to install trough setup.
Succes, Hannes 8)
Use a card reader.
Or you could install the maps to a local folder on the PC and then copy the directory over via activesync.

Can you please tell me how you managed to get TomTOm installed? I get the error message every time: Tomtom was unsuccessfully installed.

Ok I installed Italy maps but now the program asks for an activation process. Even giving the code embedded in the map, the activation on the tom tom site doesn't work...

can you give us a step by step process. and what versions of TT have you used ?
I installed tom tom 5.1 copying .cab files in the jasjar, then I copied the italy_plus folder in the jasjar and the program acknowledges the map ... but it asks for the activation code, saying that i must insert the disposal code (shown by the program) in a tom tom site mask. I tried but the site says that the disposal code is wrong.
I Got my TT5 working on the K-Jam! (Partially) This is what I did:
1 - TT5 did not istall properly over active sync - So I installed all of the CAB filed to my Storage Card and installed directly on the divice (I belive there are 4 files + get 1 voice file by searching the CD) I belive some the files are named ttn, GPS, etc)
2 - I emailed TomTom support and sent them a copy of my card so they can allow me to Re-activate my account (Belive they needed a copy of the card/cd, invoice of purchase and device invoice -- u can scan them , attached them, to a word file and email it to them). My code originally activated for my JAM (diff device code).
3 - I used the TomTom Map software to install the map to my PC. Then I copied the folder to my devices card via active sync
4 - when I started the TT5 -- it asked me for the activation code (which I got through ttcode.com)
5 - I activate the GPS control panel on Windows 5.0 (instructions I found on this site)
That is as far as I have gotten -- I am trying to figure out how to LINK the GPS to the K-Jam -- TomTom only lists a few coms open, but not one that the Blue Tooth lists.
Once I Figure it out -- I will post again!
Email me if you have any questions.
Hoped this helped!
In total you have to copy 4 files
mobile device\tomtom\CurrentMap.dat
\TomTom\TomTom\data05.bmp
\TomTom\TomTom\data05.chk
\Program Files\navigator\data.chk
\Program Files\navigator\tomtom navigator.exe
\Program Files\navigator\navigator.cfg
that's all.
data05.bmp and .chk is for example, you can choose one of your own voices.
Look this up on your device other wise i send you my files so you can try them.
Good Luck

check www.htcclub.net for the soultion for installing TT5 and make it work ! :roll:

tomtom will not load

Cant see any other person having this problem from my searches and topics here.
I am trying to load tomtom5 from a disc. it is the same one i used in my xda2 but it will not load on my xda exec.
I have tried to copy to the card and run but that will not work it says not a correct application.
I have 5 and 5.1 update on disc which worked on the xda2.
Neither will load to the Exec
I load the disc to pc select uk then select install but it immediadtely brings up the error message with the send to microsoft option.
Dont understand this as it worked on the xda11.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Clive
moved to universal
not sure how this posted here but moved to universal
I had the same problem: After much teeth gnashing I found a work around:
Explore the Tomtom install CD and copy the following files your SD card:
GPS.CAB - the conduit between TomTom and your Bluetooth COM port
PIMAddIn.CAB - the conduit between TomTom and your Outlook contacts
WZD.CAB - the Today plug-in (completely optional)
TTN.CAB - the actual application and data files
ENGF.CAB - Jane's lovely voice!
On the Universal, click and install the above files in the order they are listed.
You may also need to reload the maps on the SD card, which should be done via a card reader. I used my old registered XDA2 to reload the maps from the CD. Once you insert the SD card into the Universal, you would have to activate the maps via Tomtom customer support and fax over proof of purchase for the Universal / product codes / device codes etc to gain a new activation code etc.
For the record, I have deleted Tomtom from my old XDA2!!
I hope this helps!

I had a similar error on the XDAII. Creating an empty file called CurrentMap.dat in \MyDocuments\TomTom (create the Directory if neccessary) solved the problem on my device
Topic moved to Universal section.
if you download and install 5.2 from tomtom it should go straight across forget using the disc
sorted
sorted with 5.2 but still needed to input voices manaually but working fine
Tom Tom will not load
I am trying to load TomTom 5 from an upgrade pack which I bought from TomTom including all maps. This worked fine with my XDA11i so long as I copied the application CD to my hard disc but doesn't work with the Exec. I get "The application at 0x004088C3 referenced memory at 0x00000000. The memory could not be "written"". I have tried installing the 5.21 download, which installs OK on my XDA11i but says "cannot connect to your device" on my exec.
I can't find any CAB files on the disc I have. They are all zip files and if I open the zips they contain files of .001 format or similar
Tomtom are no help at all as they say the exec is not on the list of compatible machines

O2 XDA II mini s Tomtom Naviagator 5

I have a O2 XDA II mini s and Tomtom Naviagator 5 software. I am using a Tomtom BT GPS Reciver.
When I try installing the software I get the Windows Error Box.
Can anyone give me a straight forward solution to this problem, I have trawled through just about every forum I can find to no avail.
Its driving me nuts please help!
The solution is simple really.
tomtom 5.00 is apparently not compatable with wm5... well it is just not off the CD.
You have a choise either you direct to the cd "pocket pc" and copy the zip/cab files over to your phone and install it from your phone. Then you install maps onto your hard disk and copy them to a storage point.
OR
d/l tomtom 5.** about .20 currently, install that then you will still have to copy the voice from the voice directory on the CD tp the storage on your phone and will still have to do the same with the maps.
if you want you b.t. gps to work I found to copy the gps cab file and install from the phone.
it all works very well even 5.00 but like I said you cant install from the CD.
its a pain, hope this helps
Ive Tried copying the following cab files
D:\tomtom\nveur\pocketpc\gps.zip
D:\tomtom\nveur\pocketpc\PIMMAddin.zip
D:\tomtom\nveur\pocketpc\ttn.zip
D:\tomtom\nveur\pocketpc\wizard.zip
Ive installed them on my phone but i cant find the application to launch Tomtom.
Ive also tired download the update and installing the cab files, i have the same problem with that.
Am i missing anything?
Im thinking of getting ALK CO-Pilot has anyone had any problem installing it to a Wizard.
just remove it and try d/l 5.21 off the tt website.
install it from your PC not as cab.
Also you may need to install your today cab, but this is not a normal thing. also you may have to send off for a new activation code if you used tt5 on another phone.
good luck and you will have the same problem with co-pilot as it also designed for wm2003/se so stick with tomtom.
look in the jamin section there is a post i put in about solving this problem

Installing Tom Tom 5.21

I have installed this on my xda2i previously with no problem, however when I try to install it on to my exec it gets as far as connectin with the device and I get "Microsoft has encountered a problem and will now close" etc..
I can install other programs without any problem.
I get the same if I use my laptop or main computer, both running on xp sp2.
Any ideas?
hmm..
Everyone stumped?
Your problem description makes no sense.
Be more specific, or install from the CAB file directly on the device.
Actually it does make sense.
Whne I try to install as per the instructions I get an error prior to getting to the point where I can choose where to install the files.
TomTom have a fix for this if it happens whilst installing maps but I don't get that far.
There are several cab files on the dvd, which ones need to be installed?
TomTom doesn't come on DVDs. You are using an illegal copy. Sorry, cannot help with that.
This is what you need to do.
Don't install using disc etc.
Explore the media (CD or DVD) Tomtom came on find and copy these folders and their contents to your SD card:
2577
Great-Britain-Map (assuming that's the favoured map)
TOMTOM
VOICES
With the SD card in your Universal find the 2577 folder and run the CAB files in that folder.
evil always wins!

Thanks for the help all, copying folders and running the 4 cab files seems to have done the trick.

PocketLoox N100 ServiceMode

hi everyone...I have a Fujitsu Siemens Pocket LOOX N100 that runs on wm5.I wonder if somebody knows a way to get it into service mode because I want to replace the GPS software that comes with the unit, not only because the maps are way out of date, but because the don't have a map for my country. I would like to install iGo because I have it on another GPS and I love it...
Thanks in advance...
Loox N100 does not run WM 5.1 but WinCE 5.0
To access the device you need to enable ActiveSync und the device.
I join two CAB files in order to enable or disable ActiveSync.
Just rename the file you need to MN6-update.cab and put in root of miniSD card (save original one first) and reset device.
After that you can access the device via ActiveSync and install whichever software you like.
If you want to enable ActiveSync and start on a clean desktop you should use the CAB file attached.
In there you have
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init]
"Launch50"="explorer.exe"

first of all I want to thank you Sabo, I'm really looking forward to get back from my trip and test those cabs...
but first let me see if I got it wright:
1.the loox_n100_enable...zip are the files to enable/disable the activesync, but would I have access to the WM menus??I ask this because the N100 starts in a kiosk mode
2.the MN6_update.cab - is going to start the N100 in explorer mode not kiosk??
I have a Loox n110 running TT6 and I got all my hacking info from here . It's a very long thread going back 3 years but it has everything you need to know. I installed the iLooks desktop starting off with the Active Sync cab trick as mentioned to access WinCe.
Hope you find it useful.
hi..thank you very much guys for all the help...until now I wanted to sell the n100 but now I'm again very happyyyy, I can barelly wait to start experimenting...
Forgot to mention that with a Mini SD to Micro SD adapter I can run a 16gb memory card on it so you can really load it up - no wifi though.

Don't sell this fine piece of hardware.
Where els do you find a PND with removable battery which is this small and where you can disable static navigation in order to use it easily for geocaching or other things.

I can only see the first 4 GB of a microSDHC card.
Do you have a driver in order to see the rest of the card?

My mistake sorry although the system recognises the capacity of the 16gb card when I actually browse the folders not all files are showing. I forgot this as I don't use this card usually in the Loox.
It does recognise all files on my 8gb microSDHC card, however. My built in driver is "SDHC_SC2410.dll". I haven't installed any other drivers myself.
Mine is the Loox n110 with the built in flash drive of 2gb using driver "FLASHDRV.dll". Not that it would affect the reading of the SDHC memory.
Hope that answers your question.
Hello all, I know it is a very very old topic !
But I found in my father's place this old Loox N100 piece of tech and I was trying to do some stuff with it.
I managed to access Windows CE 5 thanks to those CAB file provided about this topic.
But then I can't install or modify anything.
Can someone help me to update the maps of the GPS or install a more recent one please?
I have been searching for hours on internet but I can't find how to do. I don't understand the use of ActiveSync neither. My PC is running on Windows 11.
I tried to copy some exe or cab file to the Mini SD card, but when I want to install them from the device, I have an error "xxx is not a valid windows CE setup file"
Anybody could help me achieve something with this old tech?
Thanks a lot and sorry for the old post.
BTW: Since I used the CAB file above, I always boot on Windows CE first and also the USB connection to the PC doesn't open the SD Card anymore. I tried to use the "disable activesync" CAB file above, but it continues to boot on Windows CE and USB connection still not work.
Anyone with knowledge of this old tech can help me figure out a few things ?
At least how to revert it back to normal haha
Thanks
