I am trying, desperately, to install TomTom 5.21 on my MDA Vario.
This afternoon I downloaded this version and installed according to txt file attached.
After starting the program I can choose language, right or left handed, km or miles, time but then after choose the voice and clicking next it hangs ?!
I have a SD with the Great Britain map on there.
Why does it hang? Anyone seen this before and found a solution?
unzip the attached file
copy the folder tomtom to My Device/My Doucuments than start tt5
I had the very same problem. the way I did it was to install everything apart from the voice files. start tomtom as normal and set it up. it should bypass the voice bit and start. once started just add the voice files to the tomtom folder in my documents. worked fine for me after that.
cheers
the magic fix for this is can be found by THE SEARCH BUTTON.
How many ppl need to start a thread for tomtom?
Hi all, new here, just got an XDAIIi.
Am trying to load tomtom5.1, and also find other useful programs. I did a search on how to load it, all worked, but when I open the program, it says no maps. The maps are definatly on the memory card. Is it something obvious?
Also, any programs you can all suggest?
Cheers
Chris
Oops, cant spell tonight...

HI, create a folder called TomTom under My Documents/ in your memory card and put all the files in the TomTom folder, once you load the Navigator it will load the map. Hope this can help.
Hello to all,
QuickGPS updates via WLAN work fine for me (Michyprima's ROM WM6.1 v3.5), however I always have to open the program via its icon in the settings menu which does take some time.
Is there any way to create a link for it on the Today screen?
Any help is appreciated
In the programs options, you can have it give a notification in your calendar when it expires and that brings up the program if you click it from the today screen.
Hmm I already did this before but something didn't work...I will try again, thanks so far.
Hmm, didn't work so far. Is there any way to create a link from some system settings on the Today screen?
On my stock 7501 it is on the Today screen as part of the
HTC plugin.Have you tried to create a link using Total Commander
or another file app and place it in the Windows/Startmenu?
This would allow you access from 1st screen.
Thats's exactly my problem, bigtsr, since I don't know where to look for the original QuickGPS program/system setting in order to link it...
EDIT: Now I get the picture, according to the registry quickgps.exe should be linked within home launcher, however there is no quickgps.exe anywhere, only quickgps.exe.0409.mui...any help from the ROM experts (Michyprima R6.1 SPL3.5) would be appreciated.
Problem solved; in this ROM quickgps.exe has been renamed to SeaSGEE.exe, however all registry entries still refer to the original file name...I don't understand how quickgps could actually be started with a wrong registry link???
Very well, if anyone else has problems with quickgps on the latest ROM R6.1 from MichyPrima, it could be related to this.
Hi everyone.
Please can you help me to install tomtom 7 on my HD/Blackstone. This is my first PDA/phone like this , and I am kinda struggling.
I have downloaded the Tomtom 7.910.9185, with maps of western europe 1gb.815.2024
The package I downloaded had 3 versions of tomtom7 compressed.
QVGA black, QVGA blue, VGA black.
I am now lost, I have read about cab files, sending to the root file of the storage card, but I cant figure this out.
Is there an idiots guide, (I am a total newb and Idiot) showing how to do this. Maybe one of you guys has a webpage or thread with it all easily put down.
Your help would be most appreciated please.
Rgds

Does it have bigger POI icons?
Cause i've installed QVGA , it's full screen and looks nice but hte POI icons are little.
Or maybe that just tomtom 7
Hi,
I don't know if you already found how to do this but i will try to give you a simple guide:
1. copy the file VGA black.cab to your SD card root.
2. click on the file once (a .cab file can be compared to a .exe file on a pc)
3. After install, copy your map western europe 1gb.815.2024 to the root of your SD-card. Make sure that when you open the folder of the map, you should see files and not another map otherwise it won't work!
This should get you up and running tomtom 7.
POIs are small 'cause the TT version available run quite correctly on HD, but IT'S NOT the right version for HD, simply it doesn't already exists
Thanks,
Have managed to get the program to install, but no hope with the maps.. Keeps saying they aint activated..

So the problem ain't the software itself, is the map activation. You have 2 choices:
1: click here http://www.tomtom.com and have your VISA ready, or...
2: MOD EDIT....WAREZ ARE NOT ALLOWED HERE

Tomtom navigation - where to install maps
Hi all,
I'm spend a lot of time on many forums to find how to propp install Tomtom navigation (I'm using Tomtom 7).
Installing a Tomtom program is so simple but the maps thats another storry.
All informations what I'm found was telling you need to create a folder "maps" in root of the memory card and than copy all files from your PC folder of actual map there. That information is OK just if you want to use a single map.
Problem is if you want use more maps than one.Yo just simple can't coppy contens of two or more maps into the same forder.Or if you try to copy whole folders with maps into yours "maps"folder on your card the Tomtom not see that.
So what to do ???It's really simple.
1. You do not need to create the "maps" folder
2. All what you need to do is copy whole maps folders into the
" My Documents " folder on your storage card (not on" My Device " memory !!! )
Its work perfect,I'm use more than 3 maps (UK+IR, Western+Central EU, Eastern EU,...)
So maybe this info help some people whos need more maps.
Richard
I purchased the map from TOMTOM website, but when I tried to install it using tomtom home, it doesn't allow me to download

Hi stevenyu24, vidamusic et al with TT7 issues. Suggest you read through the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432410&highlight=TomTom and pay special attention to bmcconalogue post. All your problems should be solved there.
Best regards,
Just for you guys,
I have Tomtom Home 2.6 installed on my macbook and I can get MapShare working free with my TomTom navigator 7 installed on my Touch HD.
Just connect it as a Disk Device then when TomTom asks which device to use, choose the one on the Storage Card (the map is on the storage card and the app is on the internal storage)
Then, you will get free maps' correction !
Okay, I put the cad file on my phone and then installed it. It wouldn't work so I deleted the tweak.xml. Now it works but when I click the tweaks tab nothing shows up. Could somebody help me fix this?
Rom version 1.10.661.41 if that helps... sry just got it today and don't really get all of this yet
cant anyone help me?
You can't expect an answer within the hour, man You are using a Diamond? What kind of cab did you install? If you have a diamond, you have TF3D (also known as Manila) preinstalled and you're not supposed to install anything...
so what where you trying to do? and can you post the link of the page that has the cab file you loaded?
we have to know more in detail you just cant say. i installed something on my car and now it wont start.
you installed a cab ( i installed something on my car )
now it wont start ( you delteded the xml file and now nothing happens )
just give us more in detail what you where trying to do. what program or cab was it and what was it for. what carrier do you have?
