Hello,
i am am trying since days to add some voices onto a Dell Axim X50V. I know it is not a XDA device but i assume it is done the same way. I have used the search and couldnt find any answer which help.
Can anyone tell me where i need to copy the files to so they work? I am using WM03 and TomTom 5.21
I have no cabs with voice, there are just .vif .chk and .bmp files
Thank you
voices
mine are in the uk map folder and work fine good luk
voices
find where your voices are and make sure your new voices are in the order of data image ,data chk,then data vif don't work if not in the right order
My extra 'celb' voices are in a folder on the sd card, the folder is named voices with all the files inside this folder, running TT6 but was the same on TT5.21.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
I've just updated my M2000 to WM5 and have followed the guide of wiki to install TomTom 5.1, but despite running the correct voice.cab file, TomTom doesn't register that it's installed, i've checked that the files copy over to the TomTom directory, and have even tried replacing the files using copies from my friends PPC2003 installation that works perfectly.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Andy
Weird. I have tried several of those voice files, and they all work. Have you by any chance installed to a memory card? That doesn't seem to work very well.
map is on sd card, but all the other progs i've installed to the main memory. I've only tried voice05 but as far as I'm aware that is Jane/UK which is what I want.
Cheers,
Andy
You have to make an extra directory tomtom in the \tomtom map.
\tomtom\tomtom\ and in here the sound files *.chk

I have tried copying the .chk file to both \TomTom\TomTom as well as \TomTom and \Storage Card\Great-Britain-Map\TomTom and none of these have worked. Is there something else I should be doing?
Cheers,
Andy
In total you have to copy 4 files
mobile device\tomtom\CurrentMap.dat
\TomTom\TomTom\data05.bmp
\TomTom\TomTom\data05.chk
\Program Files\navigator\data.chk
\Program Files\navigator\tomtom navigator.exe
\Program Files\navigator\navigator.cfg
that's all.
data05.bmp and .chk is for example, you can choose one of your own voices.
Look this up on your device other wise i send you my files so you can try them.
Good Luck

Hello,
i have precisely the same problem.
Tried everything mentioned here without success.
Where do i find that *.bmp file? Its not located in the voice folder on the original cd. Ive put the voice cab file from the cd on my storage card and it installed fine, it installed the mentioned files except for that *.bmp file ( wich i assume is just a stupid bitmap?). I moved those files according to above instructions - no success.
Any help is much appreciated.
I fixed it,
make sure that theres just one copy of those *.chk files on your pda. Delete all copies in other folders except those in the \tomtom\tomtom folder.
Worked for me, i hope it helps you.
Im pretty new here and just got my BA not tooo long ago...I used to be a trreo user now im hooked on my BA.
I see alot of software that comes in a form of a cab file...does anyone know how I can load that software on my BA? thanks alot!
hey mate and welcome!
if you put the cab file in your pc folder; you'll see that the description is "zip file"....that's because it's the only format microsoft recognizes...in a way its also true as the cab file is a compiled program ready for installation. what you do is DON'T unzip the file in your pc; rather cut/copy and paste it directly in your ba (via activesync or in your sd card). put it in a folder that's easy to find; say "my documents...personal" (or you can make your own folder to put in cab files). use your ba's file explorer and go to the folder...from there double click (via stylus) on the cab file and it will automatically install itself. btw, if you copied the cab file in your sd card you can also execute the installation there....no need to paste it in your my documents area.
if you're using wm2005; upon execution the unit will ask you if you want to install it in the sd card or internal memory....that's really up to you depending on the size of the file you're installing.
hope that helps

thanks alot Robson.
Ive always looked past cab file programs b/c i couldnt install it. I hope this thread helps other newbies too. I searched and couldnt find an answer.
is there anyway that can install cab files direct from pc to ppc?
sorry for the late response; was in china for a week.
unfortunately, no. i don't think there's a way to install cab files via pc. if you do unzip a cab file; you'll notice that the files are something like:
0000124
009890
or something like that....can be as many as 20 lines of code...but scanning through the entire zip will not give you any .exe files which can be executed via pc. if you have a card reader installed on your laptop, simply copy and paste the cab file on your sd and from there install via your ppc
hope that helps

I dont think I have the same storage card issue as the users who occassionaly lose their maps. I cant even get TomTom to see the maps after install, I can view the maps directly from file explorer and all the contents seem fine. I have also tried formating the card to FAT however this does not help. Can someone post their 'currentmap.dat' file so I can see the structure please? I am using TomTom6, thanks.
You might try this: make a folder called 2577 in the root of your sdcard. Inside that folder you add an empty file called autorun.exe. I realise that this might sound strange. So, just make a file with any editor, save it and rename it to autorun.exe. That should work.
That worked a charm, thanks!
i delete config file in tomtom and it is working again
I just installed Tomtom 6.02-7910 on my Artemis. I have installed the program itself on the device and the maps on the storagecard in a map called TomTom.
This ain't working. I already found the following:
6.02 wants the maps in My Documents so you have to move the maps to a new folder \Storage Card\My Documents.
And you have to modify the registry key 'My Documents' in 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Explorer\Shell Folders'
and name it \Storage Card\My Documents.
Now I have downloaded a program called Mobile Registry Editor. When I'm looking in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Explorer\Shell Folders I do not see a registry key called 'My Documents'.
Can anyobody tell me what is meant with the instruction written above? I also have Total Commander. So a work around with Total Commander is also fine by me (if I understood correctly, editing the registry is also possible with Total Commander)
Your first mistake may be placing the map folders inside another folder on the storage card. Mine (v. 6.02) works with the maps in folders located in the root directory of the storage card. For example, I am using the North America map and it resides in a folder called "North_America-Map" in the root of my card. The extra level of folders you have may be hiding the map from tomtom's view.
Anyway, registry editing should not be necessary for you to get tomtom to work. That's way to many hoops to jump through for a top sat nav program!!
If you need any other help (if this works for you) feel free to PM me. I'll be glad to help any way I can.
There is already a 6.03 update released. Read it on a navigation forum.
Maybe a stupid question but where can I find this navigation forum????
edit:
Ow you said "a" navigation forum.
Already found it. Thnx!

Well I did that. I renamed the folder "Western_Europe-Map" but that ain't working. An older version of TomTom works the way I did (with the map TomTom) but this version doesn't.
So I think if I want it to work with 6.02-7910 I need to do the register editing.
edit:
Installed TomTom 6.03 Everything went well, until I had to register the TomTom map. Well now I'm back to an older version. 6.01 I think.
Okay so I got TomTom Navigator 7 and a UK&Ireland map. I've installed TomTom on my MicroSD card and it opens, now it says there are no maps. Where do I put all the map files? I've googled and can't find a solution.
So far I've tried the root,
SD\Program Files\Navigator
and
SD\Program Files\Navigator\maps
Also I'm getting the BTTrayCE error thing, I've searched for the DLL's on my device to rename them but I can't find them -.-
And finally, I've heard about a lag in the app, how can it be fixed? I found a link but lost it -.-
Thanks

what:
app 7.???
map v???
they don't work all with each other. this would be your problem.
Where do I put all the map files?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
folder with any name on root
pna file is defining name and there you can find a version number too
(\storage card\UK&Ireland\<files> OR \storage card\map1\<files>)
for raster, voices, postcodes they can be on root or in PF folder
Also I'm getting the BTTrayCE error thing, I've searched for the DLL's on my device to rename them but I can't find them -.-

\windows\BtCoreIf.dll
\windows\BtSdkCE30.dll
just delete them. they replacing rom files with the same name but 5 years newer verions of broadband bluetooth driver
by deleting, original ROM files will reappear
you can't see them because file browser is not showing them.
There should be about 7000 files in \windows folder
(hidden,rom,system attributes)
you need different file browser. total commander is free and cool
another option:
2 files is the whole application, no regs.
backup those to SD card, copy shortcut file from \windows\start menu\programs,
uninstall TT
and copy them back
tomtom navigator.exe
data.chk
And finally, I've heard about a lag in the app

sorry, i didn't. can't help. just don't run it from SD and if you can install it on fresh ROM or burn to rom so they'll not be fragmented. and don't keep to many POI switched ON
but I heard about that it likes to crash in rhodo and mine is like hell.
still trying to figure that out, it's not crashing when I m not moving. could be I had wrong sett for gps.
