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.
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 !
Hey Guys,
on the R2A-ROM I used TT 7.915.9196 successfully.
Now i've upgraded today to the R3A and installed the same Version with the same Installer again.
I installs perfectly but when I start it i got the error:
"Your device is not compatible with this version of TomTom NAVIGATOR!"
What should/can I do?
Thanks guys
Did you install TomTom orginally on your Memory Card? If so everything is still there, just a link in your StartMenu is missing. Have a look for \Storage Card\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe and you can just run it from there.
Yes, try that! It should work because it worked on mine, same version, etc.!

May I ask: does it refer to all the apps installed on memory card? I mean - after a FW upgrade it's enough to just run it?

"Your device is not compatible with this version of TomTom NAVIGATOR!"
I reinstalled it, but still the same Problem.
Which Version do you use?
Hey Guys,
i've tested to start the exe from the old installation, but the message still appears.
Any ideas?
I'm using TomTom 7.910.9185 with no problems!

Perhaps because you messed it now up with that installation and some files are changed.
Since I installed tt7 on the memory card, I don't need any installer ever again. No matter if reset or flash. Just pop in the sd card and I run the tt7.exe again. This will automatically run tt7 as if it never was off. (unless you changed the phone/imei no need for new serials with the maps either!)
As to the question if that goes for all other apps, some! Some need a serial again, some don't. Perhaps because some apps put a reg file on the stick. The others will run after a reinstallation creates the necessary reg entries in the phone again.

With R3A??
If yes, then please PM to me with the installer. Thanks

looks like not all installation packages do work. A had good results with a package called black, which installed directly on the device. another package blue with additional folders for voices included did not work with installation path on the card. maybe that is helpful for others as well.
Hi
Thanks for reading this. I have an MDA Touch and have been experiencing the bugs that I didn't know existed when I bought it! My camera doesn't even work now
I don't know anything about this but I have Tomtom on my phone and don't want to lose it. Will it be wiped if I install a new ROM?
All the files for it are on the memory card.
if all the files are on the memory card you won't lose it. the only thing you've got to do after installing a new ROM - a new shortcut for TomTom
at least in my case^^

Hi Tod!
welcome @ XDA!
the anwer of reppi is ok...what I recommend you to do is after you've hard resetted your phone OR you've installed a new ROM, just find the install file on your internal storage (mostly an.exe file or .cab file) and install that to your device memory...that should do the trick...dont create any shortcuts....
TomTom will do that automatically for you
Cheers
Jeroen
I agree with the first answer, although TomTom will put the shortcut in place I find it much easier to put a new shortcut on. It's as easy as selecting 'copy' on your TomTom app on your storage card, and then going to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ and selecting Paste Shortcut from the menu - job done! (although you might want to rename the new shortcut as it will be 'Shortcut to TomTom Navigator lol)
Hi guys,
I've installed the Sygic software for gps navigation.
The program works good but I have a problem when I connect the phone to the PC, every time I disconnect it Sygic immediately starts on my TD2.
Do you have any idea how to get rid of this? I've already tried soft reset.
Thanks
Have you installed on the devicememory or on the memorycard?

memory card
try to delete "2577" folder
Place the maps on the storagecard, but do the installation in the devicememory. By disconnecting from pc, there can be "sort of" disconnect-connect of the memorycard followed by an autostart or autoinstall of software like navigators... Try and let us know...
