tomtom 5.21 on Universal

hello everyone...I downloaded tomtom v5.21 upgrade from the net. The installation went fine but didn't come with the maps. I downloaded the maps separately from the net.
But now I dont know where to place the maps and how to tell tomtom where the maps are..
tomtom wizard is working fine but when i run the tomtom Navigator it says.."No maps found, please install and activate an original TomTom Navigator 3 map first."
Please let me know how can i get it working.
cheers

did you upgrade from ttn3 to ttn5.21?

Buy it!
People have been enquiring more and more about how to use warez on their handset which from what I've gathered isn't what this site is about.
Otherwise if they are "kosher" maps put them on your storage card root directory.

I bought mine but update to tt521 can't find Scandinavia-Map... Working just fine with tt5.00

I'm not sure the latest update (5.21) works with any maps other than GB and Benelux. This is what I have heard elsewhere, anyway, even though it sounds bizarre. Contact TomTom directly, ask them and then please let us know in this thread so we can help other people with the same problem.

TomTom 7 extracted from HTC Diamond

For anyone who hasn't been watching the main development and hacking thread in XDA they've managed to get a working version of tomtom 7 off the new HTC Diamond and got it to work on other phones. This happend a few days ago I believe, maybe longer. That said, it hadnt worked on the Vogue untill now thanks to starbase64.
You can find the version of tomtom 7 that works with our phones here:

I had tomtom 6.03 installed with USA and Canada Maps ver. 6.75. I installed tomtom 7 which uninstalled tomtom 6 and installed 7 overtop.. booted up and my map worked fine. GPS actually connected way quicker then with 6.03.
(sidenote.... I use a bluetooth external GPS reciever as I am waiting for telus to get of their butts and release their rom update that will activate the internal gps)
The only thing I have noticed so far is that tomtom 7 is supposed to have the option of being able to change the navigation cursor.. ie an arrow to a car which it says it cant because theres no cursors so I'm sure a fix or something for this will come at some point. But all looks good. The fonts are a bit big as its for VGA but still great. The black colour bars are alot nicer then the blue.
It's been said before and I will say it again. Dont discuss anr warz or anything like that. No hacks or cracks or where to download maps from illegally. If you want a map. Go to tomtom's website!

Oh.. I have also had issues with this version of tomtom and tomtom home. It wont regonize that 7 is installed. Shows all my maps and voices and what not. This is a little frustrating as because it doesnt recognize in home you cant use the mapshare. One of the big perks of the upgrade. If anyone figures this out OR if its just me let me know!
I tried upgrading to tomtom home ver 2 but it wouldnt recognize it either.

Alright everyone... Here's the newest QVGA version of TomTom 7. Looks a little nicer on the Vogue. All the fonts are the appropriate size and what not.

I have build a pachage (look in my 4Shared TomTom folder) "TomTom_Navigator_7.450.9028_QVGA_without_installation.rar".
Extract on your SD Card and start "TomTom Navigator.exe".
TomTom must never again be installed.
This pack is without voices, you can find voice in my 4Shared TomTom folder.
Thanks "minty1978" for the QVGA Pack, is faster on Hermes.

Installation was fairly simple. I just copied the files over to my Touch and booted tomtom back up. Also check out the custom car icon files he has. What you have to do (took me a little research to figure it out) was where ever you installed your tomtom program. Mine was "\program files\Navigator" Make a folder called "art" and then a subfolder called "cars" Then put the car icon files you want inside that subfolder. When you boot up tomtom you can then change the icon of the direction arrow.
Edit: Here's some sites to download the car cursors as well

Is Google Navigator going to be a descent solution for us? Or is this going to be the best?
Of course I have no idea, as I'm waiting for Sprint US to get me my fancy new ROM update as well. So I haven't even had the opportunity to search around and play yet, using an external.
Hopefully today at 11:00am. Have to wait and see. Not holding my breath.

well googl's free.. I dont believe it has 3d map views although it does have satelite.. which is a perk. I'd say tomtom is a little more advanced then googlemaps for sure. 3d driving view ... voice guidance... thousands and thouands of poi's, easy menus etc etc. If you havnt used tom tom before you'll be pleasantly suprised how easy it is to use. Then again Tom toms been making stand alone units (PNA's) for years and years so they sort of have been working at it a long while now where as google maps is new to the game. I use both Navigon and tom tom and find them to be the best for what I need. With google map you can triangulate your position with cell towers too.. tomtom... nope. you NEED GPS for it to work

Last time I looked Google Navigator was like $60 bucks.
http://www.pdafun.net/
And I thought it had all the 3D maps, Driving Directions, voice command turn by turns and all that jazz too...??
Google Maps isn't really a navigation package, nor is Live Search IMHO.
I think you may be replying about the wrong application...ALthough I do think it's really weird for someone to charge $60 for a front end using the free google database, but hey; whatcha gonna do...
It almost like a Google Earth for WM6 devices...No...

Very true... Duh.. I was thinking about google maps. I haven't tried google navigator. I think last time I went to go try they didnt have a trial and I wasnt about to pay for something without knowing how well it worked. This threads going to get off topic quick. Tomtom 7.. download and try and you will love it!

I just checked that pdafun link, and there is a free trial, although I have to agree...$60 for a front-end on a free set of maps is pretty expensive. Unless they have tts (haven't researched it yet).

How do you switch TomTom 7 over to english?

Ah yes... I forgot about that.. Here's what you have to do..
I should have remembered but yes, the QVGA version I posted is set to, well I dont remember what language actually...But its not english. There seems to be two ways to get it to english.
The first is simply to delete the file [navigator.cfg] which I'm fairly sure is in whatever directory you are installing tomtom 7 to. That said you can probably just NOT move it over into the directory. Before I discovered that deleting this file would make the english the default I did this.
Here's the method I figured out
Once the map screen has popped up tap the screen once, the bottomn left icon with a wrech is what you then have to press. A new page will pop up. Push the bottom right icon (a blue arrow) 5 times. On the last page you should see an icon with 3 flags.. it will be the top left icon. Press this once. Then you'll have the option of changing the language.
Change it to english or whatever you want it to be and you are set!
This brings up another possible issue I never thought about though untill now. If for whatever reason you cant boot up tomtom because its in some other language and you have to go through a set up in another launguge (I imagine if its the first time loading up it SHOULD give you the option of choosing the language before hand but if it doesnt) maybe install that VGA version and get the set up and what not, everything the way you want it THEN copy of the QVGA files. This may not even be an issie at all but if it should happen to someone its an idea on how to get it done!
Hope this helps!

Your trick for deleteing the navigator temp file worked great. Do you have any suggestions for getting TT7 to read my TT6 maps. It keeps saying maps not found.

I too had it working with my version 6.75 maps. What version of maps do you have installed? If its older then the 6.75 perhaps they wont work. That said, if you have to upgrade then I would just upgrade to the latest ver 7 maps.

Weird, I have 6.75 also. My map folder is named "USA and Canada 675_1409". How does that compair with everyone?

I noticed that if you edit the Currentmap.dat file and redirect it to my map folder it still won't work.. Its weird TomTom 6 works fine.

I had problems with it not finding my maps. So I got some new ones and it worked fine instantly...

Just a question. Has anyone gotten Tomtom home 2.3 to work with their vogue yet? I've had no luck at all. I've been checking the main thread on this in the development area and alot of people are having issues getting their phones to connect.. While some connect just fine. I havnt read anything in there though from other Vogue users. In order to use the mapshare you need to be able to connect to tomtom home 2. So this would be great if we get it working OR if someone has it working maybe they could tell us what they did.
Thanks!

Anyone be able to download one free map from tomtom.com?

6xx maps won't work, you have to get the new 7xx map.
Also, you need to activate the maps as well. Tomtom 7 increased the security.

does this file work w/the vogue internal gps? I'm using TomTom_Navigator_7.450.9028_repack2.cab that works with my maps, but doesn't pick up my GPS. (it works great on a friend's mogul)

HD2 and TomTom 7 - problem installing

Ok I've finally taken the plunge and just received my new HD2 from T-Mobile. Everthing works ok and even to a cynic like myself it is one impressive machine but with one issue. I can't install TomTom 7.
As soon as it tries to auto config it displays the message:
"Your device is not compatible with this version of TomTom NAVIGATOR!"
(Their message - not my typing...)
Any ideas? It worked ok my Touch HD running a 6.5 ROM from Miri and I've noticed others appear to have it working. The HD2 is running OS version 21864.5.0.81, ROM version 1.43.110.2 WWE and radio is 2.04.50.22_2 if that helps.
Any assistance greatly appreciated of course!

Is true!
If you go in tomtom device compatible web page you see that HD2 isn't copatible, I have sent an email ant tomtom said me that you must see this page when change you can download a new version compatible.
P.S: There is a version that work with Hd2 but you must delte 2 dll and in tomtomhome hd2 is not recognize

While it is true that Version 7 isn't supported, it dose still work well with a couple of exceptions.
1. It can be done by transfering the CAB file to the device and then installing it manualy, but not through the ActiveSync installer.
2. The version I had for my Orbit2 KILLED the bluetooth on the HD2. It's a fairly easy thing to rectify, just need to delete the file \Windows\BtSdkCE30.dll and then Reset the HD2, but it caused a few headaches.
3. I've read that some people reccomend the 7.91 version of tom tom, but that version 7.45 works well also.

Cheers but it didn't work.. Yes I tried running the cab file manually from the 2577 folder but still it came back with the same message. I am using version 7.91 as well.. Very frustrating as I use the Sat Nav a lot!

Actually just found that link as you posted. I've managed to get it installed but now it's asking for my map activation code which at the moment I can't find in my filing system....
Thanks for the help/link anyway!

I have Tomtom 7 working try doing a search for TomTom_Navigator_7.916.9189_VGA.

Tony, had the same problem, it's possible to get the software installed using a cab file but then you can't activate your purchased map files without hooking the device up to TomTom Home.
It's sadly a case of waiting for TomTom to officially support the HD2 at which point an update for TomTom Home should allow us to connect and install.
I tried emailing them again today for an update but they just said keep watching -> http://www.tomtom.com/products/section.php?ID=898&Section=709&Lid=1&Category=2

Im using ttn7.915.9196.vga_black.cab which is working fine for me on mine.

Currently using 7.916-9189 vga-black.cab with ukroi 835-2421
had to rename the 2 bt.dll's by adding old to the end of them using resco file explorer and then used BsB Tweaks to get it to auto rotate..
some dudes report issues with the radio using this method but as I dont use headphones (only bluetooth) I haven't even checked to see if the radio works. Now researching/downloading other sat nav applications and waiting for my 16gb card to come so I can try some others out...rapidly running out of room on the stock 2gb card

@EssexboyRacer.
Are you able to connect to TomTom Home?
If not, how did you activate your map file(s) please?

Just put the map in the root of your storage card (map should be named something like this "Western_and_Central_Europe_V720_1803").
When starting up TT7, it will detect the map

Maps voices and postcode folders all go in the root of your sd card. Maps can really be called anything you want as tomtom will search for the maps and load any it finds. I name mine whatever area it is such as "Western_and_Central_Europe_840_2563". Any speedcam files need to go in the maps folder.

[Q] Tomtom 7 voices help!

Hi all, I have installed TomTom 7.916.9189 on my TP2 unbranded and stock rom. It seems to work fine so far. I had a few issues like the BTrace.exe error and an uinable to start not enough memory error however I have fixed those.
My problem is that I have downloaded a voice to put on and I copied the relevent files to the relevent place but the voice either doesn't show up on the voices list or it does and when I select it; it tells me that I have not selected a valid voice (or something along those lines). I dont understand what the problem is.
Has anyone else encountered this? Does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance all help is appreciated.

hi IllusiaX,
well you have to keep the voices in "VOICES" folder in storage card...
every voices has 2 files: 1 DATA0X.CHK 2 DATA0X.VIF
if you lose one of them the voice doesn't works...

you mean TT showing you about 250 feet behind where you really are on the road? Nope. My unit is constantly telling me to turn left or turn right about 50 feet past an intersection.
I've tried following some of the regedits and other tips people have posted in various forums, but it's never quite resolved it for me.
I've just gotten accustomed to it and try to read the next direction ahead instead of relying on the voice and image.
