I use tomtom 7.9 in my xperia, and works fine! actually works better that my prev ver 7.4.had issue where it would not display any satellites (despite getting a fix)
Yes again, as u can just copy whole progs on a bigger mem card.well thats what i've done.
i can only find one place online selling it and its about £55 is that about right

Hi Guys!
I have an S100 and i would like to know which you think is better Via Michelin Navigation or Tom tom 5. I still cant have a formed opinion cause Tomtom is giving me a hard time to work. It doesnt find the maps on the SD card...
Thanks in advance...
Can I run Tomtom on a Jasjar without using an SD Card? I have a SDIO Gps and cant install an SD Card at the same time or do I have to get rid of my SDIO Gps and go BT?
Regards
Hi there
yes u can
first u have to see that how much space u have in your JASJAR available to maps, normally maps take approx 100 MB space, so if you have more than 100 MB space in your JASJAR then YESSSS
it really depend on the map you installing, if you installing only one city maos then i am sure u can put the map folder in your JASJAR
other wise u can't
I got UK maps which takes about 101 MB space in my SD CARD well i do no which maps you wanna use
HTH
Regards
Gugi
UK maps on Tomtom are about 96 meg.. I reckon that busts the bank.
It would seem the only way at present is for you to forgo your SDIO GPS and get a bluetooth one.. shame I know but seems the only answer.
I use the Globalsat BT338 and it is excellent.. picked it up for around 80 quid
Incidentally if you are going to get an SD card the best bet is to get a fast one (I have the transcend 80) because, historically, XDA's and Tomtom have a compatability problem with cards they can't access quickly enough.
It ends up with the program freezing etc
good luck

Just wanted to tell you all that, when I get home from work, I've got a Holux Slim 236 GPS receiver, a 1GB SanDisk miniSD and TTN5, all waiting to be installed.
Why, oh why, do I feel I'm going to be spending hours doing this one?!
While I'm here, has anyone successfully installed the Bakonl TTN5 on the Wizard (mine's an XDA Mini S actually), and with the cracked 5.21 patch? Any hints/tips would be much appreciated.
Cheers!
Good Luck!!
I have installed ttn5 on numerous devices and the only problems i ever had was with the bluetooth link and installing on my xda mini s was the worst so far!
If you do get problems with com ports -there was a post that got me up and running - i think it was on here somewhere:
once tt is installed there is a file in the tt folder called 'navigator cfg' copy that to your pc and open it with wordpad, there will be a load of rubbish on there but you will see 'com port0' or something like that, change this to com port 5 and save it , overwrite the original in the tt folder and try running tt again, it should be ok.Actual installation should be easy enough,
cheers and once again good luck...
Good luck! Best not to talk about cracked versions of commercial software though. This is not that kind of community.

Assuming you have the SD card image version downloaded (and a legit copy you purchased as well to stay legal )
Just copy all of the files to the root of your SD card (don't put them in a subfolder), run the TTN.Cab, GPS.cab & wiz.cab files from the 2577 from file explorer on your XDA to install. Copy the Balkonl 5.21 cracked EXE to your XDA overwriting the orginal and then copy the folder named "TomTom to your "my documents folder" on your XDA.
Next Pair your XDA with your GPS receiver (some need to create a new Com port, if yours does remember the port number)
Fire up TomTom, go into preference, choose "Other Bluetooth GPS" and select the Com port.
Took 10 minutes to install on mine this way!. Not promising this will work for you but my install worked first time using this method.
Not condoning software piracy but until TomTom sort the problems out with their installer i'll be using the cracked version even though I have a legit copy!

Basically ... no. I mean, I did get it working, with not too much trouble, but every time I closed TomTom and started again, all my settings had been lost - home, favourites, POI warnings. I just thought this was really annoying! Also the map version I had was quite old and had quite a lot of errors.
Unfortunately, I don't have an SD card image version. Trying to look for one at the mo. Any suggestions?
Looking to get a GPS setup now for my wizard.
I think I will be getting this bluetooth receiver unless anyone can tell me a reason not to ( ie its rubbish ) http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8590.htm
Which version of tom tom will work with the wizard ? Is it 5.21 onwards ?
How big of a memory card will I need to run tom tom ? Will 512 meg do ? Are there any makes to avoid ? I was thinking of one of the mobymemory ones at £21.99.
Are there any troubles with the wizard and tomtom 5.21 ? Its not something I have read much about as ive only just decided to get one.
Many Thanks.
I have a MDA Vario running TomTom Navigator 5, V5.21, I am sure if you buy the software new then any installation problems with WM5 will have been resolved, if not; I do have a step by step guide for installing the software (original) and 5.21 update. The software runs perfect without any problems whatsoever.
I use a Holox BT-321 BLUETOOTH GPS RECEIVER. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BT-321-BLUETO...499429QQcategoryZ4668QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem
I also use a 512MB Sandisk mini SD card. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sandisk-512MB...itemZ5862591470QQcategoryZ96991QQcmdZViewItem
In car I am using a Brodit Active mount P/N: 968650 & Pro Clip. http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8670.htm
I have subscribed to TomTom Traffic and use PocketGPS camera warnings with POI Voice alert; the above configuration works with the Wizard perfectly.
I give TomTom Navigator 5 out of 5.
I have an XDA Mini S (provider : O2), and I am running Tom Tom 5.21 perfectly fine. Also, something that will answer your question regarding the GPS product : http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8590.htm , is that it works perfectly fine with the XDA Mini S and the Tom Tom 5 or 5.21 software. I know that, because I am using the above mentioned GPS device. It works ok, it last 10 to 12 hours without charging, it picks up satellites quick, its battery is a BL5c- compatible to many Nokia phone batteries,it comes with a usb cable, so you can charge it by connecting it to your laptop/pc and it has a car adapter as well. The only prob I have with this GPS device is that for the moment I can't have it to work with the my pc ( for example:using it with MS Autoroute ). I believe the reason is that the device does not come with installation drivers for the pc. If you download a cracked version of Tom Tom you can find installation procedures at the following links:

Finally, concerning the memory card you need to buy, I think that 256 is more than enough to run the Tom Tom 5 with Great Britain's map installed. This map is around 120 meg and plus the maximum of 50meg for the TomTom software, I believe 250 is ok. But, is better to buy a bigger mini sd card, if you want to add more maps.
I have a mobymemory 1Gb mini sd card installed in my XDA mini S and it works perfectly fine!!! See link:
http://www.mobymemory.com/1GB_2GB_mini_SD_miniSD_Memory_Cards_fromSanDisk_and_MobyMemory.asp
Also, you may find really usefull the USB miniSD Reader/ Flash Pen Drive - to make your mini sd work as a pen drive
I hope this info is good enough for you!!!
Since I have upgraded my t-mobile varo with the 2.21.2.5 NLD ROM I have problems with my tomtom 5.21
When it starts everything goes fine until it has to find the maps. Tomtom freezes. I have the map on my mini SD card. When it's out, tomtom says that there is no map, so I think it knows where it is. I have tried different maps, but it all gives the same problem, so I know that the maps are fine.
I have think about it to go back to the old ROM, but I don't know how, and I am not sure if it helps.
Is there anybody who knows what to do for me?
it depends what sd card you have. I have found that the wizard has certain issues with sd cards just like the alpine used to have. I myself have a 2gb sandisk. I purchased a kingston 1gb for my wifes and had various problems with it on her phone aswell as mine but the sandisk worked great in both

I have a 512MB Mini SD Sandisk.
But before the ROM update, 2 days ago, I had no problems, everything works fine
As I can remember there must be a "do_not_remove.txt" (or somewhat like this) in root on the storage card - otherwise Tomtom will not search for Maps there...
could it be excidently deleted?
maybe this helps...

Never saw that file before. Can you be more specific? Do i need to put it in the benelux map? Where can I get that file? Not too big I think. Maybe someone can post it?
Thanx for responding!
