TOM TOM Install probs

:roll: Hi, Hope someone can help. I installed a copy of TOMTOM2 but when I try to open it the message keeps saying "Cannot determine location of data. Please re-install data and or application" I have reinstalled but to no avail.
Can anyone help :?:
Thanks in advance...

Normally this message appears ig there aren't any maps installed.
Install your desired map (or just one map) and it should work....

It did install the map and there was even a 91mb file on the stoarge card. If you click it it begins to install something but then just vanishes?
Not sure what to do.
Thanks for your help though.

Searche the tomtom FAQ and they also advise to install a map.
Maybe you should contact them directly...
They should be experts in their software.... ;-)

Reinstall the map using an sd card reader writer, before removing the card, right click on the drive that the card has been allocated ie "E" and click eject, then remove it, sometimes the delayed write function fails if you dont do this and you ned up with a corrupt/incomplete file.

Usa Maps Not Working

Hi Guys,
I have TOMTOM v5.12 running on my xda mini s, and i have copied all the usa maps from the installation cd to my storage card, but when i try to change map in TOMTOM it cannot find them. It only shows the GB map. Does anyone know about this problem, or a workaround?
Many thanks

In short it means you will have no success with that set up-sorry.
For a NY v566 map you will need to run TTNv5.0. But TTNv5.0 will not work on a WM5 device-com port issue.
You need a newer map & application-TTN5.21 & NY v567 min.

i had the same problem
What i did was to run the Tom Tom setup from the CD and installed the map to a folder on my hard drive, Then copied the folder to my SD card and it worked a treat might be worth a try

TomTom 6-7 upgrade problem

I originally had TomTom 6 on my phone, but now have 7. When i install it, it installs fine but when i make my map selection it says "Sorry, this is not the correct activation code for the product 'USA_and_Canada'". Problem is it's not giving me the chance to put my activation code in, it's pulling the acyivation info from my TomTom 6 installation. Any help on how to remove the version 6 activation info so I can put in the correct activation code?

You gotta activate via an external process. Are you using TT7 repack 3? If not, TT6 maps won't work.

Where did you get the file? If its the hacked one then look in your tomtom folder in the /Storage Card, you will see a file called ttnavigator.bif, open it with notepad. You will see your device ID there, under UniqueDeviceID. Hope that helps

... or download TomTom Home to your PC, and install it. Then conncet yer Mogul, and it should tell you the device ID in TT Home.

Any chance of getting this to work for tomtom?
Thanks

or iGO8?^^

you must say me
1. preferred file hosting
2. full path to program, ex: "Garmin\Garmin Mobile Xt.exe"
or "StorageCard\Program Files\TomTom\TomTom.exe"

and for automapa.. ?
Can You make one for polish people too ?
1) rapidshare or megaupload (http://www.megaupload.com/)
2) "Storage Card\AutoMapa EU\AutoMapa EU.exe"
thanks You very, very much in advance!!
P.S. the link from 1st post does not work..

may be it will work for Garmin
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=335BJ0QD
automapa and other can be done in 14:00-15:00 or evening after 19:00 GMT+2
because now i not at home : )

I tryed to improove code, but it has some limitations
path must be no longer that
\Wayfinder\Wayfinder.exe
i'm trying to find another way, but....

Does not seem to work. Garmin does show up under default navigators, but it cannot be selected, it goes back to google maps.

you make Garmin.exe as alternative file name?
Garmin folder in main memory?

Yes, I just copied Garmin Navigator TX to desktop, renamed to Garmin.exe, copied back to main memory. It shows up in the default navigators screen, but when I click on it, the selection panel simply closes and GM stays a default.

hmmm
i hav NOT installed GM
so may be try to rename googlemaps.exe in xxx.exe or about
and try again...

Still no luck. I renamed GM, and it no longer shows up in the panel. However, it would still not allow me to select Garmin, just would not open anything when I click Navigation. I guess there is smth different in my X1.

so lets check
if renamed then not seen
so you have right tune up garmin.exe
i have Uninstalled Wayfinder and Googlemaps...
may be uninstalling of GM will help
and if so, you can install GM again and see what happens...

No, that's not it. Uninstalled GM and Wayfinder, softreset, still does not work.

very suspictious....
may be any one also try to test
and then i could compare

ok mate let's do it together. but I am a noob ;(
if that is not a problem for You we can try with automapa. what do I need to do/prepare?

path must be no longer that
\Wayfinder\Wayfinder.exe
for example
\Storage Card\AM\AM.exe
or
\AutoMapa\AutoMapa.exe
it is easiest way, i think...

done
ok - so it is
\Storage Card\AM\AM.exe
what now?

HC Locations maps

Am I right in thinking that Locations only works with your current location?
I'm going on holiday later in the year and downloaded the maps for that country but could see no way to access them via the app. I'm presuming that when I arrive the app will refer to the relevant map rather than the UK one. Is that correct?

Yes that is correct.

Well, I can see downloaded maps offline even if I'm not in that country. If you go to Menu > Map, and then scroll to the other country, you should be able to browse through the map.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Since on the topic of locations, is anyone able to download the map for Japan? There is no option in my list.
Many thanks!

I'm also looking forward for maps for china... But, nope, "Location" is not available for some Asia countries.

jokies, I do have China-East, China-South, China-North East and China-West for downloads.. hmm

Hi guys: does anyone know where the Locations maps are stored in the device?
Every time I flash a new ROM I have to download the maps. Is there a possibility to save them? I am also able to download a map of a country which is not the mine.

Hmm i had no idea there is offline option in locations. Thanks guys

/sdcard/.data/navigator/Data/Maps
edit: .data is a hidden file and you may need to enable this on your file manager

No, unfortunately I don't have the navigator directory in the .data/ directory.
This is what is present in there:
Code:
.
|-- footprints
| `-- postcard_tmp
`-- trips
`-- trips.db
EDIT: starting Locations, it prompted the question to download the maps. I answered yes and I found them.
What I don't understand is why I didn't already find them at that location, since I've never deleted it, and I am pretty sure I have downloaded that maps before changing the ROM.
