Tomtom 6.02-7910 on Artemis

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.

TomTom Can't Find Maps on Internal Memory

Can someone please help me with this.
I've got a p3600i and have installed TomTom and the Australia v6.75 map onto the internal memory.
TomTom loads up and goes through the normal initial setup but then comes to a screen saying "NO MAPS FOUND".
I have tried putting the maps on the root folder of the device; in the my documents folder; in the program files/navigator folder; in the tomtom folder... nothing works.
TomTom seems to look for maps on a storage card by default. Is there a way to force TomTom to look for maps on the internal memory instead?
I would prefer to have my maps and TomTom loaded onto the device and only have music/pictures on the storage card.
Thanks in Advance

That's strange, I have TomTom on storage card and it works flawlessly...
Storage Card/

Ok got it to work. Here's what I did.
1. Install TomTom cab as you normally would; it should put TomTom.exe and a Data file into the "program files/navigator" directory.
**BEFORE YOU RUN TOMTOM FOR THE 1st TIME***
2. Create a new folder called TomTom in the "My Documents" folder.
3. Move the TomTom files from "program files/navigator" directory to "My Documents/TomTom".
4. Delete "Program Files/Navigator" folder.
5. Move the folder containing your desired map to "My Documents" e.g. "My Documents/Australia"
***Soft Reset***
6. Start TomTom from "My Documents/TomTom" folder and go through the initial setup as per usual. It should see the map now. Once everything is setup exit the program.
7. Recreate "Program files/Navigator" directory
8. Move all the files in "My Documents/TomTom" to "Program Files/Navigator"
I've been trying a million and one things so I'm not sure that this is the most efficient way to do this. There might be a quicker and easier method, but that's what worked for me.

If the above doesn't work, try going "Setting"-> "Bluetooth" on "FTP" tab then make sure the two options "open bluetooth browser" and "open file sharing" are both unchecked, exit "Setting" and try again.
By turning off these options to make sure TomTom won't try to look in the bluetooth browser which confuses map searching when TomTom is activated

Wow, how do you get the maps to fit in internal memory? My European map is almost 1 gig... I'm just curious, why not put the maps on a miniSD?

The AUS map is only 100MB. The p3600i has about 180MB of usable ROM. I prefer to have my miniSD for just music & pictures. I like to run all apps and programs from the device itself.
Just personal preference I guess

TomTom POI file

Hi all
I have downloaded a file which lists (as POI's) which petrol stations in the UK have LPG pumps. the file is downloaded as ttn.ov2 (which I renamed when d/loading to lpg.ov2). I have placed this file into the same directory on my storage card as the current POI file. Does any1 know how to get TTN to 'see' this file or merge into the current POI file.
I have a Touch Pro 2, Win Mob 6.1, TTN 7.450.
Cheers to all.

As far as I can remember you just need to copy the ov2 file to your map directory and start Tomtom.
When it has loaded click the screen, click change preferences then show POI on map and click the one that you want to show.
I think thats how you do it

TTN Help

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

\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.

Igo gps maps ??

Can some one please upload the igo app program from joying and gps maps for tf card. Joying is taking for ever to send the maps.

I have purchased iGO Navigation app, but when I trying to copy over from file explorer, it's unable to ycopy the whole files, seems like some files are encrypted already.
If someone can teach me how to extract files from phone, then I can upload it.

@killahax PM me for map link

I have the files now. But when I open the app the app uneexpectedly closes. Do i have to have all usa and Canada files in maps folder? When I put only cali in this happens.

You should install new igo app in the internal memory of the device, not in the sd card.
