You probably have ("bought") the wrong version for Smartphones (Mobile?)! You should have TomTom Navigator 5.21
2nd..you have TomTom Mobile. "Return" the TomTom you have and "get" the TomTom for PocketPC.

you don't need v5.21, I am happily running TomTom v5 with BT GPS and all the maps I have previously used on my WM2003 device.
Navigator 5.21 solve it,everything is ok now.How big is map for western europe
I compared TomTom 6.01 with my old TomTom 5.21 on my Magician (overclocked with XCPUScalar, 512M SunDisk UltraII SD, GlobalSat BT338 BT GPS). In short:
- slower and jumpy compared to 5.21
- no real maps upgrading (this may vary with region, I am in central Italy)
- some new marginally useful functions (this may be a matter of opinion)
Result: I dumped 6.01 and returned to 5.21
Good information.
Can we use maps from TomTom 5.00 with TomTom 5.21 ?
Thanks.

The maps of 5.1 and 5.21 where the same. Not sure about 5.0, probably yes.
Your test is totally wrong !! Start clocking your Magician to the original speed (416 Mhz).
With TomTom 5.21 my Magician needs ~ 20 seconds to start.
The new TomTom 6 needs exact 2 seconds! One to show the new TomTom start screen and another one to start the program.
The rest is stable like 5.21 is !
TomTom 6 - I like it.
TT6.1 is brilliant on the XDA mini II ! Far better than 5.21 and all the 6.5 maps are very uptodate.
Faster loading, better interface, better graphics... cannot be compared to 5.21
TT6 works fine for me. The maps are surely more up to date. As far as speed is concerned, I can not say it boots faster. But if you install the maps to a freshly formatted memory card, it should run smoothly. I tried 4kb and 2kb cluster size and 2kb works best for me. My device is not overclocked btw.
tomtom 6
I'd say it runs about the same. With some tweaks in pocket hackmaster it runs super. I use the Aplication speeds to set it to 650 Mhz 260 bus 65 mem and 65 lcd. Then it realy flies.
The maps are more up to date. for holland the map data is from 2006 teleatlas. The mobile / speed radars etc. Are working fine. However we in holland have more acurate and better uptodate alternatives ( flitspaal.nl)
However it includes a raster folder for images. If you use the satelite images. It does work quicker on the overview maps.
hi There
how to use a satelite images with tomtom 6
Regards
You have to install TT6 on your phone ! Not on SD or Storage !
On my MDA Compact it boots in exactly 2 seconds. Without any Overclocking. Just the standard 416Mhz.

Good for you. Unfortunately, I am not the only one to report TT6 slowness and map refresh jumpiness (just google for 'TomTom 6 slow' or browse forums at www.pocketgpsworld.com). It is also true that there are lucky fellows as you that report equal or better performance for TT6. So it seems a PDA/memory/OS/GPS receiver configuration/combination dependent problem. The chase is open...

TT5.21 satisfactoryly worked from SD without (startup was slow, but I do not complained about that). If much heralded TT6 is no more able to do this I would hardly call it an improvement.
TT6.01 works perfectly from SD for me, the startup is just a bit slower (maybe 1sec) compared to main memory but still way faster than TT5.21.

hi to all
can anyone let me know how to use satlite images with tomtom6
Regards
sat maps, interests me too...
is that u have grafix then everywhere? like googleearth or other services?
by the way the voice (speaking) -file. what is iths name? and where is it located?
mine is gone missing after card backup+reformat+etc.....
Sat maps.
Q1.what are sat maps.
Q2. Where to get them.
Q3. Google earth ?
A1: What are sat maps.
Sat maps are a plus service and are located in the raster folder on your sd-card. They are not google earth ones Actualy it are not maps. Just static images to help rendering.
A2: Were to get them
Its a plus service so just download them from the plusmenu.
Or download them here:
TomTom Raster Europa
A:Some google earth functions can be use with the help of this program:
http://www.janboersma.nl/gett/help/ But that only helps with routing it doesn't add images.
Hope it helps, if you still have questions just ask.
PS. all jpgs include a .SAT file..

If sombody knows what format that is. i might be possable to use your own images and overlay them in tomtom.

these maps are like plus option as (picture (mapping) overlays above the vector drawn streets...

i dont use google earth ;-)

they dont look too much detailed...
have u got an ppc screenshot with sat maps? (cant find any... will post if i fijnd them)
hello everyone!
i am going to buy a gps mouse today, the hollux 236, and now i am wondering, what you think are the best apps to use with a gps mouse!?
most of all i am interessted in navigation software, like TomTom for example. but what are the alternatives to TomTom? what's your recommended nav software?
i would also like to know, what other usefull apps there are to use with a gps mouse...?
any info is appreciated!
thx in advance,
krz
I would definetly go for tomtom navigator 6, its the best ive ever used simple yet effective
IGO - the best for driving navigation
Wich country
You will not always have the choice because not always navigation software have the maps for the countries you want.
for exemple, Tom Tom is a lot for Europe and USA and Mapking for Asia
I am using three on my Artemis:
iGO 2006 Plus with the lastest Portuguese/Spanish maps (2007.07);
TOMTOM 6.032 (8351)with the latest Iberia maps (675.1409);
ROUTE66 Navigate7 with the latest Iberia maps (Q4, 2006 i think);
Both TOMTOM and iGO work better than Route66 because R66's maps are very old and i can't find anything more recent. My favourite is TOMTOM because of its ease of use and overall speed starting up/navigating. iGO has got the looks and the maps are as good (or seem to be) as TOMTOM's.
I also have a TOMTOM GO V3 standalone navigator with version 7 of both the software and maps (Iberia Version 710) and those are way more updated than version 675.1409. Also it has much more detail on the maps.
All this text to say that if TOMTOM7 comes out for the PDAs it's gonna be a winner for me.
i would say garmin...now there is the new mobile xt prog for free for ppc...correct maps for europe...including deep city view
thx for the answers!
i think, i will give iGo Plus a shot....
what other cool tools should i get for working with the gps...?
i once heard of tools to programm or configure the gps mouse...?
interessted in more tips and tricks,
krz

good choice !
I use Igo and I like it more than Tomtom.
the next version (Igo 8) is coming soon and I was very impressed with the demo I've seen.
But is there any good GPS software with Middle East maps. I love navigation but dont have any GPS Software.
If anyone of you have a GPS software with Middle East Maps, so please can you give me.
Thanks

Where do you get this sw free?
http://www.garmin.com/garmin/cms/site/us
you can visit that site for further information, i guess garmin works the same way tomtom does, so you can get the software for free and maybe a test map and the only thing you need to buy are the maps. i didn't look up the price for a us / north america map now, because i am at work and the garmin site is really slow.
Hey there, Which GPS application do you guys use?
I'm using Garmin Mobile XT at the moment
SatNav...
I'm using CoPilot 7 Diamond Edition, which came with my device... superb
I am using IGO8, working great with my Diamond.
Currently using iGo8, had TomTom 7 on before.
I use IGuidance 2009.
I use Mobile Navigator 7.
tomtom 7 as main gps app and igo8 & destinator as backup...
Garmin Mobile XT

I use tomtom
Ndrive (the best for Portugal)
And TomTom (perhaps, the overall best!!!)
1. iGO Amigo;
2. Sygic McGuider;
3. Garmin Mobile XT.
1. IGO 8 (with updated maps)
2. Destinator 7 (waiting for destinator 9)
Will have to look into TomTom... everyone seems to rave about it...
which is best ????
TomTom 7 and now more towards Igo8 and also for ease of use and quickness Igo Amigo is pretty usefull, all work great on Touch HD
-TOMTOM works great When Igo8 bug (problem : out of memory perpetually But igo is much better than tomtom when it 's run perfectly )
of course iGO8.
I cant understand why Tomtom should be better :x
iGO has very nice themes with lots of functions including having plugins for it.
And you dont run out of memory as long as you have a lite rom like gen.y with lots of free ram. Works perfectly here. Have it also running on my navigationsystem in the car.
Will have to stick to Garmin.... None of the other GPS applications have maps for S.A. :-(
Was really interested in iGO 8, but no maps...
are these sat navs free to download and if so where would i get one at i need ione for my holidays coming up in lanzarote
1. iGO8
2. TomTom7
3. Sygic McGuider
4. Navigon MobileNavigator 7
5. Garmin Mobile XT.
6. Destinator 7
All running australian maps.
Sometimes changing of programs is like a change is scenery. Just like something different sometimes.
I use iGO8 most of the time, the TTS on it is awesome, have Tomtom as backup as well as Voda Satnav, which actually isn't too bad either.
Hi guys,
I'm living in Vietnam, where TOMTOM doesn't work (no maps). Could you please tell me how to replace TOMTOM by another software as the default navigation service? For example, in Asia, MapKing should be useful more than TOMTOM. Thanks so much!
for me
i want to change that to garmin
celice: It isn't possible for Garmin, look here to find why http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530034
torrentonly thank you very sir ^-^
A little update for this. It actually is possible to use another navigation software, but some important steps must be made.
1) Navigation software must support command line options or have proper SDK (like TomTom or Garmin Mobile XT)
2) navipanel.exe and naviservice.dll must be debugged to find, how is MiddleLayerDLL handled
3) Code a new library, which will handle new navigation software via navipanel
I found some examples with Garmin SDK for visual studio. It looks quite simple and straightforward, but it has one big flaw. Garmin Mobile XT must be running to pass command to it.
Just a note. At this moment, there is no possibility to run other navigation software with NaviPanel.
garmin mobile xt
Garmin Mobile XT works fine for me
In the spanish version, the GPS software by default is CoPilot 7, Can you try it? But i think that there is no maps of there.
Regards!
Hi all.
Small guide for changing the "Navigator" Hardware-key:
1. Delete from folder with current navigator folder all files.
2. Install into this directory new GPS navigator application (or move all files into this folder)
3. Rename *.exe file on previuos exe name
I'm from Russia. I changed Navitel Navigator on GisRussa
You have to do this
HKLM\Software\HTC\NaviSW\
find this key MiddleLayerDLL that have a value NaviSWMiddle_CoPilot.dll
Change it in NaviSWMiddle_TomTom.dll
It works for garmin, too.
You have to substitute garmin to tomtom in the word
Make a soft reset and after garmin will be your default navi for all the applications (footprint, navipanel)
If you cannot find this key, you can create it, I just make it and works perfectly...
