adding voices to tomtom 5

Hi,
After many hours of trying to get tomtom to work on my mini s I finally did it. Only one problem now is hopw do i get the voice files to work? I have transfered the voice cabs that i want over to the device and storage card and ran from there. Installed perfectly but still no voices within tomtom? What am i doing wrong?
cheers

Well, in the directory u find tomtom directory, make a new sub-dir with the name tomtom and put the voice files there.

so i put the new "tomtom" folder in mydocuments/tomtom?
eg.
my documents/tomtom/tomtom
then do i install from here?
cheers

Hi!
@ferritt: I'm really wondering why your TomTom Setup is so complicated (compared to mine)... Most of us just copied the correct voice.cab (UK Janes file is called engf.cab) to the device and started it (NOT installing to the Storage Card).
It creates a folder under /My Documents -> tomtom with the following files in it -> CurrentMap.dat, data02.chk (that should read data05.chk for english Jane) and data02.vif (data05.vif).
Final view:
/My Documents/tomtom/
CurrentMap.dat
data05.chk
data05.vif
Hope this helps.
Greetings

see what i have mate is the voice files (cab) from my tomtom 5 cd. But also i have the .chk files aswell on another tomtom cd which is the only one i could get working. so should i just put them into the .chk files ionto the tomtom folder?
cheers

It is perfectly possible to install everything to the Storage Card. There's a complete walkthrough here (for the Universal, but the Wizard is very similar)
Edit: added direct download here

How to install TomTom for dummies please?

Hi
just got my XDA Mini S.
I have also bought a Holux GPSlim236 bluetooth GPS reciever.
I have NOT got a miniSD card... do I need one???
I have downloaded tomtom_5.21_wm2005_ppc_+crack with these files in the folder on my PC:
gps.cab
PIMAddIn.cab
ttn.cab
voice12.cab
wzd.cab
(FOLDER) crack with:
TomTom Navigator.exe
(FOLDER) TomTom with:
CurrentMap.dat
Is there any chance someone can write a install TomTom guide *for dummies* in real laymans terms?

Due to the amount of space required to by TomTom there is no way you're going to be able to install it on your device without extra space - eg miniSD card. They're reasonably cheap, compared to a few years ago, and you can get a 2Gb on eBay for about £35 to £40 or around half that if you just want to get a 1Gb card, which will be more than enough for TomTom.
Once you've done that, read this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29277

Right I'll pop out to Aria and get a miniSD

I read that link as well and it's very confusing...
I just want basic steps for an install to get tomtom sat nav working.

I had the same problem before and I ran across this article:
http://www.4winmobile.com/q-how-can-i-install-tomtom-navigator-5-on-wm5-devices-vt934.html
Probably it will help you in installing it correctly.
You definitely need to have mini SD card for this app.
DulYang

Not got the miniSD card yet but read the guide and am still not sure what to do.
Take your version 5 Application/Resource CD (probably CD1 or 6) and copy the contents of the CD to a folder on your desktop.
Download the latest update from TomTom currently v5.21 (28-12-05).
I have got 5.21 but it's not on CD
Copy the files that you just extracted to the folder on your desktop that contains the CD files and overwrite the existing “setup.exe” with the new one.
I have not extracted anything, and I don't have a file called setup.exe
Execute “setup.exe” and follow the instructions to install.
Now copy the next CD to a folder on your hard drive (EG:The map cd).
No CD
Follow steps 3 to 5
Keep repeating this process for all your CD’s, Maps, Voices, Post Codes.
do I need map files or do I have them???
Now most of the stuff (apart from maps & post codes) were installed in the main memory of my o2 XDA Exec even though I explicitly stated in the install to put them on the SD Card.
I rectified this by performing the following:
do I need to do any of this?
Create a folder on the SD Card called “TomTom”.
Cut the files from the folder “Navigator” which is in main memory under “\Program Files”.
These files are “TomTom Navigator.exe” & “data.chk”.
Paste these files into the folder “\Storage Card\TomTom”.
PLEASE NOTE:
Without the presence of a TomTom folder here the full postcode lookup, voices and schemes will fail if you move them to the Storage Card.
& Don’t forget to change the path of the shortcut under Start>Programs
You can use a 3rd party explorer like Resco Explorer for this
You can delete the “Navigator” folder from main memory now.
Create a folder called “voices” in the root of SD Card.
IE: “\Storage Card\voices”.
Cut the files inside “\My Documents\tomtom” which is in main memory, these files are the English UK voices. (You may have more).
“data04.chk”, “data04.vif”, “data05.chk” & “data05.vif”.
Created a folder called “schemes” in the root of SD Card.
IE: “\Storage Card\schemes”.
This is where I put all my downloaded schemes & the ones I created.
PLEASE NOTE:
If you are using a custom scheme don’t be alarmed when you load TomTom and your display looks a little bland, your custom scheme will appear when you have a valid GPS signal.
In the main memory there is “\TomTom” with the following files inside it.
“_do_not_remove.txt”, “go1108m.wav”, “tttoday.bmp”, “tttoday.dll” & “tttodayvga.bmp”.
These files are for the today screen pluggin.
Apparently, although I cannot confirm, these files can be deleted if you don’t use the TomTom today pluggin.
BUT THE FOLDER MUST REMAIN!
I suppose you could use Activesynch to remove this pluggin.
If you use custom menus you will have a folder inside this “TomTom” folder called “SDKRegistry”
and inside this folder will be a file called “TomTom.mnu “
I don’t use custom menu’s so I’m assuming this must stay where it is.
Now you need to create a text file called “CurrentMap.dat”.
Open the file & type & \Storage Card\Great_Britain-Map\
or whatever the name of your main map folder is on your SD card.
Do not forget to add the final backslash and a have a space between the ampersand and the first backslash.
Save the file as "CurrentMap.dat". Make sure it doesn't end up as CurrentMap.dat.txt!
Put this file in the main memory of your PPC under “\My Documents\TomTom”.
PLEASE NOTE:
Without this file TomTom will tell you that you have no maps installed!
In the main memory, under “Program Files” there is a folder called “Conatcts Navigation”
IE: “\Program Files\Contacts Navigation”.
I think this needs to stay where it is in order for the contacts <> TomTom “navigate to/find on map” integration feature to work.
(Eg. Select a contact from your address book and find them on the map/navigate to them)
At this stage you should pair your Bluetooth GPS Receiver before launching TomTom.
I have the Bluetooth GPS listed but it says COM6, does this matter?
Start>Settings>Connections>Bluetooth> Turn on bluetooth.
Turn on your Bluetooth GPS receiver.
Click on “devices” tab and then on “new Partnership”
Wait for the scan.
Select “BT GPS” (or whatever your's is called).
Click on "next" Enter passkey (mine was "0000")
Check your GPS Receiver's manual.
Click on "next"
Once properly paired, put a check next to "Serial Port" as the device's available service.
click "Finish".
Click on "COM Ports" Tab
Click "New Outgoing Port", select "BT GPS" (or whatever your's is called).
click "next".
Set COM port to "COM4", while leaving Secured Connection still checked.
If that doesn’t work, choose a different COM port.
Click "Finish" and your device should now be listed with (COM4) next to it.
Now load up TomTom.
During setup you will be asked to specify your GPS hardware.
Select "Other Bluetooth GPS" then select "COM4".
PLEASE NOTE:
In future you don’t need to enable bluetooth, just load Tom Tom and it does it for you.
PLEASE NOTE:
IF FLIGHT MODE ON YOUR PDA IS ON, YOU WILL NOT GET A GPS SIGNAL, EVEN IF BLUETOOTH IS ON!
and now all should work
Dam I'm Good!!
To summarize all this, here is my directory structure.
Is this on the XDA Mini S or his PC?
MAIN MEMORY:
\My Documents\TomTom\CurrentMap.dat, great_britain_plus-7777ac9g (This is your registration details in the format "<map name>-<letters&numbers)
\Program Files\Contacts Navigation\<20 dll files>
\TomTom\_do_not_remove.txt, go1108m.wav, tttoday.bmp, tttoday.dll & tttodayvga.bmp

Ok, I got it now.
You just have the files cracked from somewhere on the Internet.
In order for this guide to work, you need to have the original TomTom CD 5.0 that includes all the maps, voices etc. ( I believe it was 6 CDs altogehter)
The one that you have is just the "cracked" version of TomTom exe file without any maps to use. That's why it's just a couple of MB in size.
The latest part of the guide is showing the structure of the Wizard, not PC.
DulYang

1. Go and buy a copy of TomTom.
2. Follow the instructions.
Please do not ask for help with cracked/pirate software on this forum, it is not what we are about.

OK mate :roll:

Although I agree with you it would be a first on this forum!!! LOL. Just look at the FTP site! Full of illegal ROMs etc.

OK...
I have now aquired a copy of 5.21 + a 1gig mininSD card
1. I the TomTom Navigator folder onto a new miniSD card
2. Put the card into the slot on the XDA
3. Clicked tomtom navigator.e x e
4. Program starts up and a Legal Notice screen appears
5. Click I Agree
6. Comes up with Can Not Find Maps
So I copy "Great_Britain_Plus-Map" folder to the miniSD card
And I copy "Great_Britain-Map" folder to the miniSD card
Repeat steps 1-5 but then it just hangs... I need to reboot the XDA to make it work again.
Any ideas on what to try next?

Progress...
I have installed the TomTom program from the update on he TomTom site!!!
It installed to the XDA not the miniSD but not problems.
Now where do I put the maps???
and voices???

I have put Great_Britain-Map onto the miniSD card but it's saying:
No Maps Found!

JohnHamer19677 wrote:
<<

You need to install the maps and voices by running the setup.exe from the CD and pick install. That way all the necessary files will be copied over to your Mini D card by the CD installer.
Then if you follow the instruction that I gave you, you would notice step 10.
Step 10 said:
Now you need to create a text file called “CurrentMap.dat”.
Open the file & type & \Storage Card\Great_Britain-Map\
or whatever the name of your main map folder is on your SD card.
Do not forget to add the final backslash and a have a space between the ampersand and the first backslash.
Save the file as "CurrentMap.dat". Make sure it doesn't end up as CurrentMap.dat.txt!
Put this file in the main memory of your PPC under “\My Documents\TomTom”.
PLEASE NOTE:
Without this file TomTom will tell you that you have no maps installed!

Right I got it to find Great_Britain_Plus-map but now it's asking me to activate

JohnHamer19677 wrote:
<<

Now this is the time for you to replace the original exe file on your device with the cracked one that you got from the Internet.
I guarantee you it won't ask you for nothing else.
Good luck.
DulYang

Wha hey!!
Sorted now... I had to get another Great-Britain-map to get rid of the activation screen I'd already done the exe swap.
Notice the differance in the under score and dash from the one I downloaded. Don't know if that made a differance.
Now all I had to do was switch maps over to the GB-plus map and I was away.
GPSlim236 picked up my location immediatly from inside downstairs no problems.
Thanks for everyones help especially dulyang.

Ok heres another dummy that has go all the bits but hasn't a clue how to install tomtom on my wizard. (I've had them for 6 months now lol)
Now that you have sucessfully sorted yours John could you write a simple step by step instruction for others ? you will have a better idea than most where existing instructions are a bit vague or ambiguous etc.

Hi Everybody!!! :?
Where do I place my voices folder?
I have a voices folder on my storage card, in my tomtom folder , but also have a voices folder on my device in the tomtom folder there?
When Istart the program and try to change the voice, the voices are greyed out and won't let me select any of them.
Thanks for any replies

Hi mate,
1. 1st download 5.21 from tomtom http://www.tomtom.com/support/index.php?FID=3361&Lid=1
it's about a quater of the way down the page...
I know you prob have 5.21 but so did I and it didn't install right but the one from tomtom's site did it perfectly... IT'S FREE!!!
2. Have you XDA plugged into your PC using the lead and the Active Sync program.
3. Double click the .exe you just downloaded from tomtom
it will start running on the PC but install to the XDA... follow the on screen instructions on the PC and then follow them on the XDA.
4. Now all you have to do is put your miniSD card in your card reader and drop the maps from the PC to the miniSD card.
You might have to extract to the miniSD card if they are zipped files as extracting them to your PC then drag and dropping didn't work for me.
5. If you have a crack you need to copy the TomTom Navigator.exe out of your Crack folder and replace the one that's in > programs > navigator > on your XDA.
I used the Active Sync "explorer" to navigate to these files.
6. Once that's done just start tomtom and wait it takes a min or so to load and you should get some on scren instructions... go through these and that should be it.

editing Navipanel

Is it possible to edit Navipanel so it launches TomTom instead of Copilot?

NaviPanel and Igo8
Yes its possible,
this is my way of doing(maybe there is better one
1.Copy all files and folders except CONTENT folder(the bigges one) from IGO8 directory to Program Files\Copilot\ - you will replace Audio folder(if you didn't deleted all from here.
2.Rename iGO8.exe to copilot.exe and just in case make one copy of this file with name splashscreen.exe
3.Edit sys.txt to point to the content folder
[folders]
content="Storage Card/iGO8/content"
4. Enjoy
Regards.

Worked finr for me
Tried it on my UK HTC HD2 according to your instructions - all worked ok
No i have Navipanel running igo8 instead of Copilot
Thanks a lot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

is it possible to point the data+branding folders as well so i can save some space on device

if you have installed igo on your SD card, you just have to copy iGO8.exe, sys.txt, and GPSTMC.dll in ProgramFiles/Copilot/, then rename iGO8.exe to copilot.exe (and do the splashcreen thing, just in case )
your sys.txt must contain
[folders]
app="Storage card/igo_folder_as_you_named_it"
hope it helped

Hi,
is there a way to use Navigon MN7 instead of CoPilot? My MN7 works manually in Landscape mode, no Problem, but i want to start it with the NaviPanel. How to do?
Thanks for any help...

Just found this on another site, tried it and it works a treat.
To make TomTom replace copilot:
-You have to install tomtom to your SD card
-Locate the install dir of tomtom after you have installed it
-Locate the navigator.exe and copy it to another folder
-Rename the navigator.exe in the tomtom folder to copilot.exe
-Rename the navigator.exe you made copy off to splashscreen.exe
-Copy the splashscreen.exe back to same folder as the new copilot.exe is
-Rename the tomtom folder (or what ever the name is) to copilot.
-Copy the new copilot folder, and then locate the original copilot folder on device storage (Program Files/CoPilot) and paste the new folder over the original (DO NOT DELETE THE ORIGINAL FOLDER FIRST)
-Soft reset, and it should work just fine

Hi,
I´m also trying to get MN7 startet that way (But on Rhodium with Navipanel from Leo coocked in). I copied \Windows\StartMN7.exe to the \Program Files\Copilot folder and renamed it to copilot.exe. Than the same again and rename it to splashscreen.exe. But when I start MN7 within Navipanel I get an error: "Turn landscape orientation error !" and MN7 starts in portrait mode.
When closing MN7 : "Turn back orientation error".
When I start MN7 directly with \Windows\StartMN7.exe everything is fine...
EDIT: Now it´s working for me. Either it was the Soft reset i did, or the changes I made to the G-Config APP. Copilot.exe was configured in G-Sensor App.
Now the next question is if it´s possible to link the Buttons "Go Home", "Recent" and "Adress" to the corresponding actions in MN7... That would be cool and would make Navipanel more useful.

Can I just check, when you say it is working great, does tomtom navigate to your home when you press home, and to your footprints? I have followed the procedure, but while tomtom launches instead of copilot, it does not plan a route. Any suggestions for getting this to work?

Use the Full-Specs of Navipanel with different Navisoft than CoPilot
Isn't there a possibility to make make the Navipanel understand, that the Navigation-Software is in a different Folder? I can't copy the Navisoft to the HD2, because there's no free space. I'm also interested in using the Navipanel with his full specs and with MN 7 or a different Navisoft...
Who can help?

I too would also like to know if it is possible. I currently have tomtom on my storage card rather than the phone itself, isn't there a ways to make navipanel run tomtom off the storage card instead of having to copy everything over to the copilot folder on the phone (or other navisoft)? I have tried creating shortcuts to a renamed copilot.exe and splashscreen.exe but it doesn't seem to like that.

My version of copilot wont let me edit the files on the phone as i don't have permission!!!!! is there a way round this as i want to use igo not copilot

Is it possible to start the Navi Panel automatically when connected to the car charger?

Bugger... I had TomTom installed on the device; doesn't work then! *Uninstall & reinstall to SD card...* :-(

NaviPanel findings.

Did a bit of a brute force hack by moving the copilt folder and replacing it with a same named TomTom folder under program files.
I then proceeded to use and launch Navipanel.
Holding the phone in reverse landscape I was able to launch TomTom via the 6th button. However TomTom keeps decifing to launch in Portrait mode.
The Recent, Address and home buttons also try to launch tomtom but the API's don't work as they are written for CoPilot.
The other two buttons work find as they interface with the phone.
Basically at this stage it looks like Navipanel is specific for CoPilot.

Press Go Home, Address, Recent or Navigation and it launches in my case iGo.
it only launches the program, it goes straight to my navigation screen, not to Address or Recent or Home.
Anybody got a fix for this?

How to make Navipanel fully works with TomTom Navigator

Hi, all:
I uses Dutty's ROM and TomTom navigator 7.9. I did the below to make the navipanel work on TomTom, but it doesn't work well after I used the below method:
To make TomTom replace copilot:
-You have to install tomtom to your SD card
-Locate the install dir of tomtom after you have installed it
-Locate the navigator.exe and copy it to another folder
-Rename the navigator.exe in the tomtom folder to copilot.exe
-Rename the navigator.exe you made copy off to splashscreen.exe
-Copy the splashscreen.exe back to same folder as the new copilot.exe is
-Rename the tomtom folder (or what ever the name is) to copilot.
-Copy the new copilot folder, and then locate the original copilot folder on device storage (Program Files/CoPilot) and paste the new folder over the original (DO NOT DELETE THE ORIGINAL FOLDER FIRST)
-Soft reset
However, However, the "Go Home, Address, Recent" don't work. Instead, presse any icon on Navipanel, TomTom will starts. I wonder if anyone could make Navipanel fully works with TomTom?? Thanks in advance.

it doesn't necessarily have to be tom tom right?? could i use your little tutorial and make it work with google maps?? or waze?? or bing?? those are my preferred gps programs.. and they work phenomanal... especially google maps.. since i can visually track my friends progress to our destination...

Fully support that question Is there any honorable developer out who could modify NaviPanel.exe to send the right command line syntax to TomTom Navigator.exe?

If TomTom supports command line parameters at all .....
For Garmin Mobile XT it is possible via SDK or QueLaunchApp.
Edit: I just tested this. Navipanel.exe does not use command line to pass data to Copilot. Sorry folks.

So... may could you tell us how NaviPanel.exe does execute CoPilot with special functions if it is not done by parameters?

Nope. No command line parameters. I logged splashscreen.exe and copilot.exe.
I guess they use some kind of API (similar to Automation) or something ?!?
Or Post Message function. Not sure ....

damn. i would really like it if navipanel could be used with other navigation programs, would need it for my future motorcycle

What to do if I have no copilot installed. Can I still link navipanel to tomtom?
