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.

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.
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
Hi guys,
I've been scouring the net and these forums for about 3 days trying to find the registry hack to change the default location of the 'My Documents' folder to my storage card as the reg key normally used (as per the wiki) under WM5 doesnt exist. I also want to do the same with the default ringtone location, changing it to 'My Ringtones' located in the 'My Documents' folder instead of '/windows/rings'.
Maybe we could use this thread to post known WM6 reg hacks that are different to the method used for WM5 which could be of some use to members, including myself, and hoping I get the answer to the ones I mentioned above,
Feel free to add reg hack queries, and any hacks you know of that are WM6 specific.
Enjoy your day,
Neil.
Nobody?
I noticed the same a while back, but since WM6 is not technically even out there, and if it is in very little numbers. Us here included, it might take a little while before we start seeing a load of hacks.

Has anyone found a solution for this yet. My Documents sync path to Storage card
Why don't you just try creating the registry key referenced for WM5? If it doesn't work, you can always delete it...
Guys,
just creating the keys work like a charm
TyTn with black 2.0 was used to test.
Doesn't work for me
I tried creating the hacks as per this thread:

But it doesn't work for me - anyone have any ideas?
Found a way to move My Documents ... BUT ...
Found this on:
http://www.inspectmygadget.com/2007/07/17/how-to-hack-your-windows-mobile-registry/
*****************************************************
Change the location of My Documents to the SD Card.
This one is complicated but possible. I had to play around with this one for a while trying and failing with several methods, succeeding with this one. The order in which you do this is essential.
Please ensure that your SD card and My Documents are backed up. It is recommended that you do this on a fresh install of your ROM. This cleared out my “My Documents” folder but I was able to restore it.
1. Reset your device
2. Synchronise your device with your PC
3. Navigate to
“HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory“
4. Change the “Folder” key to “My Documents”
5. Rename your original “My Documents” folder to “My Docs”. This is a crucial step, but it does not matter what you name it.
6. Power off and reset your device.
7. Sync your Device
You should see in “File Explorer that your “My Documents” folder has an SD card icon next to it.
Copy your files back into your My Documents.
*****************************************************
Only problem with doing this on an already set up system is that if you have anything installed to your Storage Card, then all the links become invalid - you can resolve this by using Resco Explorer / Total Commander to reset all of the links.
Haven't tried to install any apps after doing this, would be interested in hearing if it still installs there like normal - decided to reset the name to Storage Card, rather than have to remake 200+ links to all the apps / games that are on there - think I'll wait until I remake the system next time!

Update
Worth doing ... but only on a new install
Backed up my system, then had a go at this - spent an hour in front of the telly changing all the links over to the new addresses, etc.
All seems to work, but a load of little bugs started to occur - all related to where certain software is located, and files that have been installed, and where,etc.
No issues related to the system in general, but I think this method would be best used if you are doing a brand new install - don't even install the EXTROM before you do it and you'll have no problems at all, and no more issuses with the build up of crap on your system. Just don't think it's feasible on an existing build, to many hidden links and file misplacements can occur.
Still - if you backup first, it's worth a try!
Bird
Sorry for digging this up but... will this workaround let you sync with the 'my documents' on the storage card? I'm trying to get this to work but numerous threads say that wm6 can only sync to the my documents on the phone memory.
It can just manage its own my documents. Not the My Documents folder of M$ Windows. So what ever you want to add or update do it there as well.
When you will select the settings for Sync, select files and it will make a shortcut on your desktop for the folder of my documents of your device that is available on your PC also.
I found a simple solution on the net
I found this simple solution on the net:
1. Create a subfolder called "My Documents" in your Storage Card folder.
2. Copy the contents of \My Documents to \Storage Card\My Documents
3. Delete \My Documents
4. Open a text editor and paste the following text into a new document: 33#"\Storage Card\My Documents"
5. Save this as "My Documents.lnk"
6. Copy this to the root of your WM6 device

hi there!
I have an Acer neoTouch with German WM 6.5 (Build 21840.5.0.60) and a lot of the custom Titanium Panels don't work.
With don't work I mean they don't show up in Titanium, although they do in CHome Editor 1.6
Some work, some don't show up on the today screen. TitaniumStarter for example shows up, Opera Panel or CPlayer don't.
Also, Titanizer doesn't work at all. It can change the left softkey, but whatever Panels I setup, Titanium will be empty afterwards.
is there anything I need to know? Maybe a problem with different paths? Can I edit something in the Registry to make them show up? maybe there are language specific paths in the registry that I haven't found yet (but then I don't know what to search for).
thanks a lot!
Bernhard
The easest way is to create a new folder \program files and in this folder copy the titanium progs from the folder \programme. Copy not move..
hm, thanks, but copying the CPlayer directory from \Program Files to \Programme, with a subsequent reset didn't do it yet...hm.
I copied \Program Files\JMLPanex\CPlayer to \Program Files\JMLPanex
and did the same for CPlayer.
both, CPlayer and JMLPanex directories are now identical in \Program Files and \Programme
reset, but still no CPlayer panel visible on titanium (only in CHome Editor)... *snieff*
Sorry, but you think wrong. You have a german rom - In this rom the titanium progs install in the folder \Programme. But in the reg or *.xml the progs search for the folder \program files. Understand ? And some of the progs have different of screen solution. I don`t know what solution your PPC have. VGA - XVGA - WVGA Think about it, and try.
yes I do understand you, and as said, I have for example the CPlayer folder in both, Programme and Program Files. I also have the JMLPanex folder in both (with identical content).
also, the registry keys look good. same goes for other plugins, except TitaniumStarter and ElecontWeather. hm.
so, I followed your advice and copied everything to both folders, but they still don't show up. no error msgs. whatsoever
Do you have install it ? I have tried the cplayer and it works on my xperia if you do all the things that in the tread from the developer wrote. You ask him also. Possible it`s a thing in panex.dat or in the reg. I don`t know. Learning by doing. Do you have all files installed in the tread. Also the resolution file ?
Are there any files with 0409 in them?
No it isn`t. I know what you mean. For German 0407. But I think he missed some progs too and don`t install it. By me - It works.
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

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.
