I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do but TomTom 5 will read voice files from a folder named "Voices" on the root of your SD card.
I just put my voice files in there and it finds them fine.
Tomtom voice location files
Hi Dingo,
No, my Tomtom 5 have a folder at \mydocuments\tomtom that have voice files inside!
The instalation program make this folder at this location!
What I want is move this location to SD card to free RAM memory on my XDAmini. At registry I can't locate an entry to move this location... this is my problem.
Thanks
Ok i see. I do not have any voice files there. I did not install any when i installed Tom Tom 5.
Instead i just copied my voice files to the "Voices" directory on my SD Card.
You should not need to change the registry as TT5 will always look for voice files in the Voices directory on the memory card first.
Have you tied making a "Voices" directory on your memory card and just moving the voice files to it ? This should work.
It's weird how TT behaves differently on our Magicians. The 'Voices' thing didn't work for me either, but I found out something else...
Try creating a folder on your SD card and call it Tomtom. Now move your voice files AND the files from the /program files/Navigator there. That's it! No changing the registry or whatever. Just create a link to the new location of the .exe and you are rolling!
Ahh i forgot the Tomtom dir. I have to have a dir called Tomtom also on the SD. Although i just leave this empty. This was originally to allow me to have full UK postcode search. So i already had that when i put my Voices in the Voices DIR.
If it works putting your voices in there then i would do that as it will save and extra DIR.
hello there,
I have searched on this and other sites. After installing TomTom Navigator 5.21 I keep getting the message that it can not find any installed maps. The maps are there, in the default folder.
Any ideas?
thanks
in saying default folder...do you mean on the root of the card that's where it should be.
br
Yes check the actual location, I installed them from the CAB and it put them under program files, so I had to move them manually before everything worked.
Dump the maps on to your sd card, do not place in any folder. That is what is meant by root of your sd card.

Surely the maps should be in country specific folders on the SD-card. E.g.:
\Storage Card\Benelux-Map
\Storage Card\Deutschland-Map
\Storage Card\France-Map
\Storage Card\Great_Britain_Plus-Map
etc,..
This is how they were created by the TT install.
Hi Fisherking.
My maps for TT 5.21 are saved in \Storage Card\Great_Britain_Plus-Map and all works OK.
I can only suggest trying the install again.
Gavin.
Thanks guys, you made it work!
Hello,
actually I´m trying to install all programs and data which may be helpful for me on my new Vodafone compact s.
But very fast I run into data memory limitations.
I´m using a SD card and the installers give me the choice to install the programs either in the device or in the storage card.
What is your advice:
which type of programs or data should be stored inside the device or on the storage card (compatibility of programs with operation from SD card..., any differences in access speed..., what happens when I change the SD card and the installed programs are missing ...)???
Cheers, Gerd
Almost all my programs are running from my 4GB SD, no problems so far….
But what I do have on main memory (because they’ll slow down the device otherwise) are
1.Resco Explorer
2.Photo Contacts Pro
3.PocketPlus
4.PocketBreeze
5.TCMP
Hope this’ll help :wink:
All the programs that I use on my Today, I used to put on my device memory. The rest on the SD. Be sure you read the programs, they used to tell us where is the place to save it.
Hello and Thank You for your answers!
The actual state of my investigations is also that almost programs can be installed on the SD card.
One exception: the .NET 2.0 from Micro$oft, which I need for WifiFoFum doesn´t run from the card
Cheers, Gerd
I installed NET framework 2.0 on my SD card, no problems there.
no matter where you instal cf .net it goes to main memory like voice command. safe bet is today plug in's in main everything storage, because crucial updates won't really let you choose. it just appears that way.
Problem: Voice Files for TomTom Nav. 5 on SD
With the voice files for TomTom Navigator 5 I had a problem with installing on SD card:
I installed all (program, maps etc.) on SD card and it worked well, beside that it was not possible to select the stored voices. After installing the voice files in internal memory (doing this, TomTom insisted, that the files allready are installed ...) the voices could be selected in the settings menue of TomTom.
Cheers, Gerd
P.S.: with the largest map (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland and Czechia, more than 400MB) TT needs about 1 minute tu start up.
hi i have got tomtom v5.21 installed but it cannot find maps. where do i put maps is there any specyfic folder i shell put them in or someother way to get it working. i installed tomtom and put maps to storage card and when i run TT is says no maps found. any help appreaciated cheers
cudo
You have to put the state/country map folder in the root of either main memory or a storage card. TT will not see maps in directories deeper than that. I keep mine in \Storage Card\State1-Map, \Storage Card\State2-Map, and so forth.
HTH.
this is excatly where i keep my maps \storage card\name_of_the_map
and it still cant find them ..any ideas ?
tomtom v5.21 installed but it cannot find maps
make a file only needs to in 1 kb named CurrentMap.dat in my dokuments \TomTom\
i got currentmap.dat file in folder \my dosument\tomtom
still cannot find mops.
shell the location of the maps be:
\storage card\name_of_the_map\map
or just \storage card\name_of_the_map
cheers
setup.dat?
Do you have a file called setup.dat in \storage card\my docutments\tomtom?

V5.21 needs newer maps than v5.0. Check the version number in the .pna file. Which map are you trying to install?

That's correct. You must use v567 US maps, for example.
same problem with TomTom but FIXED IT NOW
Had the same error {map not found} thought it was TomTom error so i bought Destinator (excellent software) but the problem was identical.
So bought a new storage card Contacted Qtek about it:
"Thank you for your E-mail. Regarding your query, please note that the SD card standard is limited to 2 GB and our devices are fully compliant to the standard. Cards with the capacity greater than 2 GB are not compliant to the standard and we cannot guarantee that they will function correctly. As to transferring speed, we recommend not using ultra speed SD cards with the speed more than 64x as they either will not work or may pose problems later. Also we would like to inform you that some SD cards need to be formatted using any PC / Laptop (supporting SD cards) before using with our devices.".
So put in a 45x speed 2GB SD card and still the same problems.
Contacted Microsoft and they gave me a hint:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q277/7/42.ASP
Finaly all works perfect now running Destinator 6 & Navigon 5.2.6
SO ALLWAYS CREATE FOLLOWING FOLDER ON STORAGE CARD
Storage Card\My Documents
You do not have to have any files in this folder (mine is empty)

please let me know if this solved your problem
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).
S.
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!!
