major roads of europe not recognized by tomtom 5 in wm5

i've tried to select major roads of europe map, from tomtom, 5.1, 5.21, and nothing. I've seen the same map working in hp pda's brother in law, with wm2003se and TT5.21 update. I think the TomTom doesn't recognize this map under WM5.
Anyone tried, yet?
Give me some answers.
Regards
Marcus
Note: The problem is TT5.21 or even TT5.1(I didn't try less) don´t show in switch maps the refered map.

Hi
The map for europe is the map Plus that you find on you CD.
Thry is 2 map One is the normal map and one is the plus the plus contains the map of europe.
Ciao
Gigino

under WM5 tomtom doesn't recognize this map

Hi
it strange that you still have the problem I use the Xda Exec that ha WM5 and I have no problem.
The directory of the map you have installed what is it called:
It no by any chance called:
Major Roads Of Europe. Because if it is it will never work on the Tom Tom Navigator 5 that is only for the Tom Tom Navigator 3.
You should have installed any map on the cd which has the word Plus at the end example
Great Britain Plus-Map
That cover all the normal road of Britain plus it covers the major roads or europe.
Hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
Regards
Gigino

thanks
I put the iberia plus-map and i´m very happy with the result.
Regards and thaks Gino, for help

RE: TomTOM Map Selection Problem
Hi,
I have the same problem, with Major Roads of Europe, Scandinavia and Gt Britain.
If I delete tomtom programe and re-install from my SD card TomTom installation, then I can select all maps, this installs version 5.0, if I upgrade to either 5.1 or 5.21 service packs, I can only select the GT Britain map when I try to swap maps in TomTom.
If anybody can help I would be grateful, as I can run my Checkpoint speed camera software on ver 5.0 only 5.1 or 5.21. Thanks

I have the same problem... It shows No Map found message after upgrade to v 5.1 or 5.21 ...I just want yo use Skandanavia Map

Help please,
I have exactly the same problem, found out that only GB and Benelux map works with tomtom 5.21.
I am going to europe tomorrow (20/12) and urgently need help. Please, was anybody able to make this work?
If not, can anyone urgently share GB plus map for tomtom 5? I would do anything for you.
Thanks.

I have sorted it, downloaded the complete install including 6 CDs with all correct Maps from Bearshare P2P program, be warned this download is about 3.6gb, but Bearshare will happily download in the background, it took me 2 days to download but worth it. :twisted:

tomtom maps not found

hi i have installed tom tom and which loads up fine but stops at select map screen . the gb map does not show up. does anyone know way

yes. stop using pirated copies.
the file \My Documents\TomTom\CurrentMap.dat is missing.

Tytn and Tomtom

Anyone managed to get tomtom installed and running, if so how did you do it, i want to install it on my storage card only
Thanks
Chris

I did nothing special, just follow the installer instructions. Which problem do you have?

It wont install on the sd card doesnt even ask then bombs out, did you install from an sd card or a cd rom and then it doesnt find the maps

I installed from cdrom and manually moved the map folders to miniSD card.

Hi,
Go to the TomTom site and download the latest update, then you can install it on the Storage Card....
You have to have legal version....

Thanks guys its all sorted, needed currentmap.dat in my docs works fine now
thanks for the pointers
Chris

TomTom
Which version of TomTom do I need to purchase for my TyTn? I live in the US.

I am using 5.21, but with spanish maps. Don't know for the US, sorry.

Thats ok. Thanks for the reply. Are you talking about TomTom Mobile or TomTom Navigation?

TomTom Navigator 5.21, that's what I'm using.

TomTom 6 work for me with North America or USA/Canada maps. I think I am currently on TT 6.201 and map Usa and Canada v 675.1409. Support told me that TT 6 would not work on Windows Mobile 6, but its works for me so far....

i got tomtom 6.03 with aussie maps 675,
works brilliantly except for the POI freezing glitch.
the 675 maps has speeds certain roads which is a nice feature providing they dont change the speed limit on the roads it has mapped LOL

Slow startup
I installed Tomtom 5.21 to main memory, map to Storage card.
But it takes a very long time for the app to start, over 1 minute.
I am running official Dopod WM6.
Anybody else duffer from slow startup and any ideas as to what can be done to improve it?

Tomtom7 on titan?

anyone tried tt7n on the titan? i cant get it to installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401619

I also get an error when installing. A few folks have extracted the files from the cab, renamed the files according to the xml included, and are able to use it. Now just waiting on someone to kindly post those files, but it seems like it should work soon enough.

i used wince cab manager to extract the files to the appropriate folders. still no go. when launch, it still says that the app is not compatible with the device.

here is a cab file that will work on the titan.... don't ask where to find maps you're on your own

Map won't work
I have TomTom 6 with all my maps, but they won't work with this TomTom 7. Anyone knows what I can do? Maybe where to place the files?

What is the difference in TT6 and TT7?

works
Just installed Tom Tom 7.450.9028 with USA_and_Canada 720.1803 map and it works just fine.
Be sure to put the Map and Voices in their own folder on the storage card
I have Garmin XT 50 and Tom Tom 7 on my device - both work fine. Waiting to try IGO8 whenever they finally release the version 8 maps. Come on NAV-N-GO !!!
I still prefer using my bluetooth GPS versus the onboard GPS

out of curiousity.. has anyone been able to get this to work without first priming the gps? i have it installed and maps working fine, but even with the settings for the built-in device, i still have to run a separate program to initiate the gps lock...

1. drop the tt7 cab file on the storage card
2. run the cab file from the PPC
3. install to storage drive - delete cab file
4. get latest map and activate it for your device
5. copy \Voices, \your map to the root directory of storage card
6. run tom tom 7

anyone got tomtom home and mapshare to work with the titan? a couple of ppl got it to work with the kaiser.

Interesting...
I currently have the latest TT6 with latest 675.xx U.S. maps. What actual changes/improvements can we expect in TT7?
I was also wondering if they have fixed an annoying bug in TT6. Any time you launch TT6 it ALWAYS defaults to disabling Audio and you have to manually go into preferences and enable it _twice_ before you get sound. This is a documented, well known issue and it deals with how TT6 detects the radio as an active data connection and thus mutes audio since it thinks a communication is open (or something like that, may have it wrong). I believe it is designed to work like this as its present in all builds but it is a bit annoying.

ttn7 interface had some touch up, but remain pretty much the same as tt6. however, there are several big improvements, including the ability to use newer map and the ability of mapshare/map correction, and stronger and better routing engine. newer map is always better. all of the verson tt 6 maps were missing my cousin new area and my girlfriend's neighborhood. version 7 map has them. i havent got a chance to get mapshare working with my titan yet, but hope it would work one day. i tested the routing with tt7 by entering several destinations that im familiar with, such as my brothers and my sisters's places, parents and friends home, and tt7 gives me the best route that i would likely take. with the destinations that i have tried, i can say that routing of tt7 is much better than, iguidance, garmin xt, and tt6.
the voice/audio bug that you mentioned with tt6 6.032 is not there in tt7. for the same reason, i used tt6 6.02 instead of 6.032. tt6.02 doesnt have this issue. for some reasons, tt6.032 doesnt see your voice file at launch.

Just got this going right now after an interesting install. Works great, love having the newest map and engine. If anyone needs a walkthrough PM me and I will help as much as I can.

How do you install the maps I have the USA_and_ Canada_720.1803. Its over 800 MBs, that wont fit on my phone. Do i need just certain files out of the map folder?

You will need to put the map and voices folders on the root of the sd card. The program cab should be run and they will find each other.

Is there another mirror for the app (not the maps, the app)? The one posted earlier in this thread was removed from rapidshare, and this one doesn't seem to work on the titan.

I was wondering this as well.

GPS Navigation

I have spent the evening reading all the posts on navigation. Have tried Tom Tom 6 and 7 with out success, tried the versions below:
TomTom 7 V7.450
TomTom 7 V7.910 (9185)(free ram 122.6)
TomTom 6 V6.033 (8358)
Please help, device just locks up

i tried to use many programs but they didnt work properly then i used Igo8 its perfect try it out

i have Garmin Mobile XT version 5 with 2009 maps. everything works fine but there is a lag of about 1-3secounds i guess? its fine but annoying when you have to do a couple turns one after another.. but oh well.. good enough. i tried Tom Tom 7.9 and 7.4 and they worked but i didn't like the layout and features\\
EDIT: im trying to get rid of the lag but im not sure how... does anyone have an SD card tune up? or know anything else i can do?

I'm using Tomtom 7.910 build 9185 with the 815.2024 maps, and it works like a charm. Try getting another version with the same buidl as mine.

Route 66
Have a look at "route 66" (66.com). seems to be working on a HD.

hm ... i got the v7.450 version workin on my hd.

TomTom 7.910 / Map v675 - West Europe.
Installation using the cab for TT and tomtom home for the map.
No lag, no installation issue, it just works.

Can you post the cab? Maybe mine is bad

This is the .cab i used and it works fine

Assuming I use this cab on my HD and it works, what do i have to do to get maps for it?
I assume i go to tomtom.com -> maps and choose Navigator 7 there, but then it asks for which device I want the map... does it matter what I choose there?
edit: tested the cab, seems to work, but of course i have neither voices nor maps. Have to try to get those...
edit2: if i try to add something to the device using tomtom home it always tells me that i have the wrong version of tomtom installed and that i therefore cannot use tomtom home. so, how do i get the standardvoices or a (at the moment purely hypothetic) seperately bought map onto the HD?
