is Destinator 3.075 on Jasjar possible?

Has anyone managed to install Destinator 3.075 on Jasjar

Yes, try searching and you'll find your answers!

1. Copy across the "DestinatorApps" directory to the PPC manually using active sync instead of using the installer
2. Copy the "DestDll.dll" into the windows directory of the PPC manually using active sync
Now you have destator installed (almost) the DestDll.dll also needs to be registered!
3. to register the dll I used "regsvr_arm.exe". just copy it onto the device, and run then select the "DestDll.dll" to register it.
4. Run Destinator and active it with you licence code as you would have previously
i had problems with connecting the com ports on destinator....so i just followed these steps:
First you've got to pair your GPS.
Then go to the "COM" tab in the bluetooth manager
Add a new outgoing port with the GPS as device (use a free com port usually try every single port until it accepts it)
And then do this:
5. Copy the "DestinatorApps/Destinator/Destinator.ini" to your desktop
6. Open this in a hex editor and change where it says C.O.M.6 to the com port of your gps. Mine was Com4 so I just changed
the 6 to a 4.
7. Copy the "Destinator.ini" file back onto the PPC
steps 5-7 i dont know if this is necessary coz after i did these steps, i closed the destinator program and then ran it and the "GPS was found automatically"....but when u go to the gps settings on the destinator program its on COM 1....and COM 4 was not on the list......but i didnt bother trying to set it up as per instructions coz its already working for me......just another note, if u turn off your gps receiver while the destinator program is running and then turn on the receiver again ur not going to be able to connect to a gps satellite etc......u have to actually close the destinator program and start it again and it will again automatically connect ur gps......its a bit complicated trying to follow the instructions......but if u follow it properly it will work.......well it worked on my jasjar as well as my XDA II with WM2003SE.....good luck

yes, thanks hadn't thought of that....
of coarse I have tried searching, I have spent 3 hours doing so ... I have found lots of references especially to a post by believer... haven't as yet found the post which gives the actual full answer ...
found one which gave the ini mod for getting around the os check
-------
if anyone else is looking for answers that part is:
modify the [Platforms] section of C:\DestinatorApps\Installer\Console\Default.ini
add the line
P2577V351=ARM
-------
what I haven't found is the issue of the dll being registered.
Now that you have wasted everybodies time and had me write all of this, are you likely to be helpful and provide a link, (as you seem to know where it is) or are you more a smartass without a clue than a geovass.

Thank you irv777 nice to see someone with intelligence

Thanks again

Destinator on JasJar and regsvr_arm.exe
Can anybody please point me in the right direction as to find regsvr_arm.exe. I have followed all the directions so far and when I try run destinator I get a Destinator object creation error. The only thing I havn't done is the register bit, please.

here you go

Destinator turns off after some minutes
First of all, thank you everybody who gave instructions for the installation, of the Destinator specially for irv777. I followed the irv777 instructions and I could install the Destinator and configure the GPS perfectly. But I could notice that after using some minutes the Destinator, the screen of my Pocket PC turned off and when I turned it on again (using the light button), the GPS communication was lost because the GPS COM Port was changed. Does anybody have the same problem? Does anyone have any idea of what is happening in my case? I could realize that when I open the registry on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Apps/DestinatorApps of my Pocket PC it is different from the registry of the Pocket PC of my friend who installed the Destinator using the custom metodology (he doesn't have WM5). Is it the cause of that problem? If it is the cause how can I fix it? I don't know how to edit registry.

I havn't found any problems with it on mine. a possible work around for you might be to change the power and light settings so they don't turn off when you are using destinator.....
;-)
good luck

obviously i am doing something wrong here....
copy the destinator apps were in the ppc? i dont have enough memory eventhough my exec is recently formated (ppc 32mb free/destinator apps 36mb).
anybody?
edit: please mates.... i am leaving for a road trip in ten days and i could realy use a gps

Is the procedure similar if you have an embedded GPS?
I have a Mio P350 & want to put Destinator 3 on it, do you install the console on the PC first, if so what files & from where do you install on the PDA, & what do you install on the SD card?
Appreciate any help I can get, as the MioMap v3.2 is driving me crazy!

TT5 & BT: procedure to install & make it work

Hi,
I just tested successfully the following procedure:
1) install TT5 using .cab files (transfer to the device & run each one)
2) pair BT unit;
3) configure TT5 using "Other Bluetooth GPS", "max baud rate", "com 0";
4) close TT5;
5) copy the navigator.cfg file (in Programs\Navigator on your device) via Activesync to desktop;
6) open the file with wordpad - DO NOT ALTER anything else but COM0 to COM5;
7) close the file;
7b) save the file modified back to the device;
9) Turn on BT reciever;
10) start TT5, wait a few seconds and...voilà !

Cool
I'm glad to see that someone else has tried it and it works for them too.

thanks Italos !!!

Sorry for asking, is this registered TT5 or <you-must-know-what-I-meant> ?
Because I dont have a registered version, but it is working find with my Magician.
Thanks!

We are not talking Magician we are talking Wizard
I had it working fine on my Magician, just like you
But I have upgraded to a Wizard and the above
process is what I had to do to get it work on the Wizard

Yeah I know that. We are talking about WIZARD.
That's why I use but ... meaning: it (my tomtom) is working fine with my Magician, but I dont know if it will work with WIZARD.
That's why I ask "What kind of tomtom do you use?" ... Registered? Or CRACKED one (like mine, in my Magician).

Makes no difference m8 - the problem seems to be "universal"
It should work if you follow those instructions, you have a BTGPS receiver and whatever install of TT5

Hi Guys,
New on this Forum, bought a Qtek 9100 a few days ago.
Have been struggling since to get tomtom 5 to work with my BT GPS, and
I just wanna say big thx to Italos for the instructions, worked like charm.
One thing though, I still got TomTom 5, I tried to install the 5.1 update and ended up in it saying it can´t find any maps...ok so back in version 5 all that was located in the "\My Documents\TomTom\CurrentMap.dat file. SSo I edited that one to point to my map on the storage card.
Fired up TomTom 5.1 again, and still not working, ok then I was not sure I had a real tomtom5 map, so I tried to extract the map from the TomTom5 DVD, well wen´t fine just to extract the cab, but I then ended up with these files.
00000.poi.010
000cline.006
000faces.004
0mapinfo.005
0traffic.009
SCANDI~1.000
SCANDI~1.007
tmccodes.008
I guess it will work if I extrackt these ones and replace those on my card, but how do I go about it?
I have tried with winrar, and that does not work, anyone who knows which program can extract these files?
thx / fahlis

Very quick tomtom question?

? So your saying version 5 will work if I have an original tomtom bluetooth receiver?
ok maybe i'm not fully understanding this? If version 5.00 works on WM5 (my xda mini s) which it does why all the fuss about you must upgrade to 5.21 if you have WM5?
the only eason i ask is because my 5.21 version of tomtom stoped working after a while (dont know why),but when i reinstalled i forgot to update, so at the moment mine says version 5.00 and it's working fine with no problems
cheers

For my knowledge I think because it work already once with tomtom 5.21 some necessary files has been already loaded into the storage card & the device therefore when you reinstall TT v 5.00 it work just fine because you already have the com port existing therefore everything was ok.
To my knowledge when I install the TT 5.00 I cant find the com port for the gps then after I install the update version it appear depend on were you set it.
Hope this help clarify :roll:

i get ya mate. Just waiting to get my new BT receiver so i'll give it a good check to see if it will fully work.
cheers

In need of urgent help!
Right i've finally got a BT receiver so i can now use my xda to replace my old ipaq. Thing is I cant get my bt receiver to work with tomtom. Firstly i cant get the gps control panel to appear in settings/connections. I've done the reg edit then soft reset but stil nothing? I've read all the threads i could find but just cant get it to work. Stupid question but do i need to do the reg edit? Could someone please tell me how they installed and got it to work? please!
I have included pic of what my reg edit looks like.
please help
cheers

that looks correct, then when you go into "connections you should have a new icon "GPS"
one thing to check, if you have another regeditor check the same place in the registry
you may find what you are looking at at the moment has not been saved.
may sound silly but you may be viewing something like cache memory.
which editor are you using? (sorry if you have already said)

i'm using PHM regedit. And that pic was after i saved and exited and soft reset. As you can see the reg edit is still there after reset just no gps icon???
If i'm running tomtom 5.21 would i still need to do the edit?
cheers

tomtom5.21 without reg Editor
hi, I give you my steps that I did and it work for me even in the xda exec .
1 first connect your gps with your pda trough Bluetooth accept serial (thick the box)
Then create an outgoing serial port any (free one in my case com6)
2 after you copied the files of tomtom v5.00 into your storage card, in your ppc do file explore and look for a folder Inside your storage card called 2577 open it, (installing cab) ,first click gps then pimaddin then ttn then wzd install them all to your device.
3 now go to the update file 5.21 click on setup follow the screen the you will get a message saying the previous version……… just click ok .after the installation finish
then voila all should be fine just follow the screen you will be asked to enter your activation code again * (if you dont have email me )then setup tt5 as you like for the gps setting you will find the com6 added,simple for tt gps reciver but If you have a third party gps receiver just use the port that you created earlier (outgoing port com6 in my case) .
it should work no need to edit any registry becouse I havent and is working 100% in my mda vario and xda exec.
hope this help :lol:

cheers mate. managed to get it working. Just have probs with my bt receiver now. very poor signal.
cheers

How to install TOM TOM?

I've been given the following instructions but i dont understand them...
Simply copy all the files from this archive to your PocketPC memory card.
Insert your memory card into your PocketPC and it will begin to install.
The problem is, that i dont know which is the setup file so it will install on my Vario?

What files do you have in the archive?
In my experience Tom Tom does not install on the Device. It has to be run on the PC with the Device connected to Acyivesync. However If you create the correct directories on the device and copy the correct files it just works (although there are problems with TT V5 on WM5).
See these posts:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44666&highlight=
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43412&highlight=

Will give the posts a look, ive attached an image of the folders i got....when i put the storage card in, it loads tom tom for a second then doesnt... :S

Folders in attachment...

TomTom Navigator v5.00 (4890) with 'Great-Britain-Map' v562
Thats the version I've got mate, is the compatiable with Varios??

So your TomTom is on the storage card, not a CD.
I've never used that version but it is probably the same - try the following.
See if you have a ttncab folder in one of the folders (2577 I think).
If you do then try this.
Create some folders on the Device in memory (not on the card) as per the instructions in one of my posts on the links I gave you above.
- extract, rename and and copy the files over from the ttncab,
- copy the voices and zip file from the storage card to the device,
- move the map directory to the root of the storge card
you should find it works except for not being able to find the GPS device.
- setup your GPS device
If you have V5 you will have problems ( see other posts about the problems), but you could try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46634
and see if that works.

no worries mate, i installed all the cabs found on the CD and its installed

can anyone explain to me how to pair the devices so tom tom picks my bluetooth GPS ?
Thanks in advance

From a previous post:
This is what I did today on my XDA Mini S. It's collected from this and other forums.
First I had to install the GPS icon on the PDA in settings/connections using a freeware registry editor.
STEP 1: ACTIVATE THE GPS CONTROL PANEL
1. Start up a registry editor
2. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings
3. Delet the Dword in there and the value and replace them with:
A new DWORD called "Group" and give it the value of "2" (dec)
4. And create a new string called "(default)" with no value (I think there was originally a string called redirect, rename this "(default)" if it's there 5. The GPS panel will now show up in your connection settings. (check it does)
note: you may have to soft reset after each stage if it appears not to work straight away but i managed to make these changes then saved them soft reset and then went to control panel in settings and a GPS option was there. You'll need this for the next stage. Wait about 1 minute before doing the soft reset.
STEP 2: Set up the GPS & Tomtom
1. Establish a bond with your GPS and select the checkbox for serial access.
2. In the GPS control panel, select the GPS program to 6 and make sure that the hardware one, is set to None.
3. Start TT5 and the GPS settings, select another bluetooth GPS, and you will see COM 6 free. Select COM 6 and close TT5.
4. At the GPS control panel again, now select COM (none)
5. At BT: select OUTGOING port to 6.
6. Finally start TT5 and it should connect automatically. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the GPS settings and you should see it has connected.
If you follow the above exactly it should hopefully work.

davidkw, is there not any easier way mate? if not then can you direct me to a decent reg edit that wont bugger my phone up? im kinda new with all this stuff as you can see....
Thanks for the hekp

Did you try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46634
If it works for you it saves doing any registry changes - you only have to transfer a file from the Device to the PC, edit it and copy it back.
If you keep a backup of the file you can replace it again if it doesn't work, then look at the other way to do it using the registry.

will give it a go mate, but how do i get a hex editor??

will give it a go mate, but how do i get a hex editor??

Try here, PHM Registry editor - you can make a back up before you make any changes. I'm new too but it's easy to use.

how do i get a hex editor?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've attached one.
Unzip it and run the .exe.
Open the navigator.cfg and change the com setting.
I've attached a screen shot of what it looks like. In this you would change the '7' after 'COM' (yours will be something else - '2' if you used port 2).

ive installed the program dave, but i cant find it on my Vario :S :x :?:

pewe, ill give it a go mate, and get back to you. Thanks for the help and currently i only get the option for com 7 when tom tom only has 9...thanks for the attachement

pewe , i need some help mate...would i set com port in New outting going port or New in comming port...
also the hex editor stuff looks really complicated to me, is it possible if you can highlight the figures i need to change...in my tom tom right at the top it only allows me to use com port 9...
Thanks for the help so far mate :idea: and dave for helping too

SBouri,
If you follow the registry instructions slowly and carefully, it will all work fine. i have just done mine and it works a treat.
I went a completely different way to get my tomtom working however by using the update from Tomtom themselves.
I wish I'd seen this first cos it was a real ass pain. LOL

would i set com port in New outting going port or New in comming port
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Set the new 'outgoing' port.
Select port 6 or 7.
in my tom tom right at the top it only allows me to use com port 9...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Select any port in TomTom. If your only shows 9 - use that.
When you transfer the navigator.cfg to the PC and open it in the hex editor it will show COM9. Change the 9 to 6 or 7 depending on what you set up as the outgoing port for the BT unit.
Save the navigator.cfg and copy it back to the device to replace the existing one.
Start TomTom and see if it sees the device.

Help on Info GPS + Others

Hi, i'm newbie and thanks in advance for your help.
I've p3600 with Rom "cooked" but i don't know the version (because this PDA was given to me by my brother)
My device information is:
Rom: Stratos 1 5.1
Date Rom 31/1/2008
Version Radio: 1.46.30.11
Proto..: 32.79.7020.19H
Windows 6 professional (CE 5.2.1933 Build 18533.7.10.1)
In the PDS there was installed TOMTOM6 and it runs well.
Now i've removed TT6 and installed TT7 7_916, but the GPS is not found on TT. Now i've removed TT7.
Now i would view Info GPS from setting but when i tap icon "INFO GPS" nothing happens (ne message no window).
What can i do ?
How can i obtain the name/type ROM installed ?
Thanks again.
Frankie.

Well the GPS in the SPV M700 uses COM9 so in the connection settings you will see GPS Info with a world icon you need to auto select the settings and selecting COM9 then you will be able to install an application that uses GPS and it should hopefully automatically detect GPS settings and start receiving information from satellites.

I had the same problem with tom tom u have to change the device type not just the com9, when you open device to find the gps do not use the inbuilt one try the external one (first to the left) then it should find satellites
