Just got my new white Trinity w/ GPS & Tom Tom. When I try to install it, I get a low memory error and install aborts. I have 41Mb storage and 21Mb program mem free.
Anyone else have trouble? Can it be installed to card?
It can be installed to the card, yes, but I never had that problem, altough I have installed TomTom many times.
I got a lot of problems but not this one !
Is this the HTC version that is downloaded on their web site ?
CD that was in the box. They have a cab file to dnload?
Tomtom refused to install on SD
I had the same problem - and the option "install into default installation folder" was checked and grayed out, so I could not tell Tomtom to install onto SD.
I backuped my Trinity, cleared the internal storage, connected to Activesync as "Guest", installed Tomtom to the internal storage, then moved the folder \Program Files\Navigator to a folder \Program Files\Navigator I created on my SD card.
After that, I restored my device. All I had to do after that was to manually add a shortcut to the Tomtom application in my Start Menu folder.
This worked for me.
Cheers Stefan
(I installed Tomtom from CAB available on the European HTC web site: http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htcp3600.html)
No cab file there. It is a exe that loads via Activesync. I get the same low mem error as with the CD. I have 62 Mb free. This is rediculous.
Gave up. The installer creates a temp cab in
program files/activesync/HTC apps
If you can't find it, search the C drive for *.cab and sort by date.
Copy that file while the installer is still open. Run it from the storage card. Worked fine.
Hi people,
Since I started to use my HTC X7500, I have TomTom Navigator 6, including all the needed stuff like maps and voices installed on the MicroDrive.
No problems there, but I now wanted to move the entire TomTom Navigator 6 from the MicroDrive to a 4GH MiniSDHC card.
I moved everything and TomTom starts and works, except for the voices. There are no voices!! The "VOICES" folder which was previously in the root of the MicroDrive, now is in the root of the MiniSDHC card, as it should.
Yet TomTom won't find any of the voices, so I can't access/use them.
When I place a copy of the "VOICES" folder to the MicroDrive again, TomTom WILL find the voices and can use them.
Now the question is, how can I get TomTom to use the voices from the "VOICES" folder on the MiniSDHC?
It obviously keeps looking for them on the MicroDrive.
I already uninstalled TomTom with removing all remaining .cfg and .ini files I could find, but after reinstalling the situation still was the same.
Thanks for the tips!!
try:
just copy data05 (for english) these two files. put them in the same foder where u have navigator.exe.
Thanks for the tip.
But what if I want to keep the entire (50MB or so) "VOICES" folder?
There should be a way to have TomTom forget about the MicroDrive and to use the Storage Card?
i believe u need registry editing.

Yeah.... where and what?
Searched everything containing "tomtom" and "voice".... didn't do.

Put them on the SD card, and delete the ini file in the voices folder before starting tomtom.

Unfortunately that didn't work..... still no voices when I try that.
The strange thing is that a new "voices" folder containing the "collected.ini" file appears on the MicroDrive when I've started TomTom.
I guess it @#@$! keeps looking on the MicroDrive.
More tips?
I'm using an ETEN X500, but I think the answer may be the same.
The collected.ini file, together with whichever DATA*.CHK file you choose, is by default placed on Main memory - in my case \Program Files\Navigator\voices
If you delete the collected.ini file, you can choose a new voice (the 50Mb file for which can be on your card) but TomTom will again by default store the new collected.ini + *.CHK files on Main Memory.
I've never found a way to change this behaviour, but the "voices" folder on Main Memory is about 650kb, so I live with it.
Ok, but why is it possible to use the voices folder on the MicroDrive then??
That was my situation at first. Since I figured everything works faster when stored on the Storage Card, I decided to move everything.
The thing is that TomTom works, but that the voices are the only thing he keeps looking for on the MicroDrive....
Even after the official WM6 ROM upgrade, the voices will only work when the folder is present on the MicroDrive.
Come on, there must be a way...... or not?
I think you should search for any folder names "voices" (usually in \Microdrive\voices, \storage card\voices, \program files\navigator\voices). Remove all of them, only keep the one you want to use (i.e. on the SD card). also make sure there is no "collected.ini" file left. This file will be re-creteated at the next Tomtom startup.
I believe Tomtom looks in the root folder of all memory devices (main memory, microdrive, sd card, etc.) for a folder called "voices".
Anyway, it does work for me (I have moved all tomtom stuff from the microdrive on the SD card too and it works).

Why not try a regular (non-Athena specific) install (like 6.030 from TT direct, or 6.032 from the Kaiser)?

Thanks for the tip.
Tried that, ending up with the "voices" folder without collected.ini only in the root of the Storage Card.
I even deleted the navigator.cfg file from program files\navigator\ and guess what..... it didn't work!!
While running TomTom there are no voices available and when I close it again, a voices folder containing collected.ini have been created in the root of the MicroDrive and in program files\navigator again......
Then where on earth does it get its instructions from to look on the MicroDrive?? Need to kill that!!
Waht version of Tomtom are you using? I have 6.030.

6.00. Is it a version issue?
Might be, my "old" version 6.xxx (before 6.030) couldn't event find the maps when they were elsewhere than \My documents (which caused some problems as the maps are often >150 MB). You should try to upgrade to 6.030 (besides they say that the internal GPS is managed better after tghe upgrade even though I didn't notice any improvement on this topic).
I had a similar problem, it didnt matter how many files i deleted or even uninstalled, it still couldnt find my post codes or voices, but after I did the upgrade to wm6, I then reinstalled tomtom direct to sd card, and now the voices are working again, I wonder if there is a hidden file somewhere that needs to be deleted.
SOLVED!!
Well folks,
I got my hands on the latest TomTom Navigator 6.03 and the problem has been solved. I uninstalled Navigator 6.00, moved the entire "voices" folder to the Storage Card and then installed 6.03. Works a charm!! The voices are useable on the Storage Card now.
It seems to be a real "6.00 problem", since a lot of people I know have had the same problem, as well on the HP iPAQ hx4700, which has both a SD and CF slot.
Another great thing in 6.03 is the new "Internal GPS" GPS selection feature. Just select "Internal GPS" as your GPS device and the fix and accuracy is better than ever. No trouble like COM-port or baudrate, just the setting.
Happy now!!
I've had a good look around the forum and couldn't find an answer to this...
Does anyone know how to keep my tom tom settings after a reflash? I'm getting sick of changing all my prefs every time I try a new ROM.
Many thanks
jamie
u could install it to ur internal storage and after flash u make a shortcut to it
Yeah, I install TomTom on the internal storage and when I reflash, just reinstall the program again to internal storage and all settings will remain. I recently added TT7 as an oem to custom roms I built and now I have to manually reset my preferences whenever I flash another rom, argh!
It is installed on the Internal Storage. It seems to auto-run when I re-flash and all my setting disapear. Very strange!
You need to backup the 'MapSettings.cfg' file before flashing.
I believe this is the file where the favourites and home locations are saved (and possibly other settings too). There is one of these files for every map that you have. So for example, for a UK_IE map, on my device it is in \Internal Storage\UK_IE_Map\MapSettings.cfg
Even though you install Tomtom on Internal Storage, settings/program files are overwritten everytime Tomtom is (re)installed. So just backup the .cfg and then restore/overwrite it once you have installed the software.
After looking on the forums i have changes the opera cache setting to my storage card.......Is there reg setting so I can move google maps cache to storage card. Also same goes for YouTube.
Where does the Facebook album files get downloaded to and can that be moved to storage card.
Anyone help?
I haven't found a registry setting to move the Google Maps cache but I have moved it and all seems to be well so far. Move the 'Program Files\Google Maps' folder to the 'Program Files' folder on your card. Do the same with 'Application Data\Google Maps' and move it to the 'Application Data' folder on your card. Create a shorvut to GoogleMaps.exe on the storage card and use this go run the program.
I have played with Google Maps some more and decided to try the latest version, 4.0. It installs happily to storage and puts its cache there too. Everything works apart from showing where GPS photographs were taken on the map. This problem can be overcome by making sure that Google Maps is already running and is logged into Latitude. If it isn't, a 'resource_loader' error results. I think this might be a bug in Google Maps itself.
Hey Guys,
I have downloaded and installed some programs to my HD2's internal memory by mistake (I was a newbie). Now, it is full of programs and i am running out of memory.
I want to move all of the program files to storage card. I tried cut and paste. However, this time, wm gives error saying it cannot find the path for the program.
Is there a way which allows me to move files directly to the storage card instead of removing and reinstalling?
Thanks
a couple of programs are only installed in a subdirectory and linked from Startmenu to this folder.
No problem to move this subdirectory to the storage card and change the link in the startmenu. (using resco explorer, for example)
but if a program is using the windows-mobile-registry (or an own INI-File) you have to change all the items from this program - it's almost impossible ...
the best way - if you don't know how voluminous the program is - to deinstall the program and reinstall the program at storage card.
Thanks, I could not think also copying shortcut to startmenu folder. My problem will be solved, most probably, at that time.
Edit: I installed resco explorer, but I could not find how to specify shortcut while in start menu? Can you please help?
