Tomtom Navigator and Map V605 help plzzz.

Hello, I have a legal tomtom v 5.21 installed on my BA. till now i was using a v562 map and ordered the latest cd of european & gb maps from the tomtom site. I got the Cd and I had run the whole setup on from my computer, followed all the instructions of adding GB / france maps onto my 2gb mmc card and it copied everything on the sd card and gave the msg Installation complete.
Now when i switch tomtom ON - on my ppc, it displays me an empty screen, i mean a greyed screen with a + ad - icons on the top left n right side and all gray i dont know y.
I tried to switch to my old map and it works fine, but when i tried to swtich onto the new one, it doesnt. I even tried to install the GB plus map tht came on the CD and it still appears gray. Can someone please help me, y is this happening, is there something wrong that i did. I mean i just followed the instructions on the cd.
cheers

Try deleting currentmap.dat from \my documents\tomtom and then run with the new maps again.
did you copy your Great_Britain_Plus-Map.cfg from your old map folder into your new map folder?

nop mate, i didnt copy the .cfg file. ill try it out today, do you want me to copy or not to copy. cheers

Install the new map, copy the old Great_Britain_Plus-Map.cfg file into the new folder - you may need to rename it because the configuration file should match the name of the map folder so if the map folder is Great_Britain_Plus_Map the configuration file should be Great_Britain_Plus_Map.cfg or if you map folder is Great-Britain-Map then your configuration file should be Great-Britain-Map.cfg
In my experience it is well worth deleting currentmap.dat from the \my documents\tomtom this file doesn’t contain anything of interest it seems to just remember the name and location of the map you last used, although it has just accrued to me that I don’t think this is causing your problems as this would normally cure a “map not found” error message!
To check that you have got the configuration file name correct run TomTom and then check that there is only one .cfg in the map folder, if there are two then you have made a mistake with the name.
The configuration file contains, favourites, history, home location and GPS setup
Hope this makes sense, difficult to explain on here!! 

Cheers Bluetba for the help, It worked but in a very diff way. I copied the map again on the the SD card, deleted the currentmap.dat file, but then tomtom wasnt able to pik up the map, u know when you get the map choice and you select the relevant map, tomtom got stuck there.
Lucky, i copied the currentmap.dat back to tomtom folder, then ran tomtom again, selected the map V605 and it worked perfect, dono whts wrong, but it shows me everything perfect.
But is V605 perfectly working, i read 2-3 comments that its not suitable, doesnt plan perfect. dono if you know abt it.. cheers anyway mate

Glad you got it working, bit strange though!
I had no problems with V605, well othing obvious that I can remember anyway and I use TomTom alot, and I would rather have an upto date road map than anything else anyway.
I am using V671 and that has an error in my area that has been introduced into this version, strange really but I did read somewhere that map makers introduce errors so that they can identlfy which version is which and where they came from.
Glad your sorted
Cheers

hahaha, i was reading a post where one of the users mentioned that he was going to manchester via the long flyover in birmingham.... and tomtom said - go straight - which meant, to smash into the concrete divider and fall down.. hahahah... strange..
well bluetba, do u know how can i add addresses to my contacts, i meant contact navigation. I cant see any program or icon on how to add address details to the contact. Cheers mate

Tomtom6.3 No voice navigation(Found solution)

Happy day!!!!!!
i just found there is a update for trinity from tomtom.com
all we need to do is download latest tomtom home, install it, then download the new voice file from tomtom home(the old voice files cannot be readed by tomtom 6.03 on trinity)
here is the link http://www.tomtom.com/support/index.php?FID=6736&Lid=1
Hope this can help everyone who get the same problem as me. cheers
after i install the tomtom6.3 on my trinity(wm6), the voice doesn't work. i do have the "voices" folder in my sd card, but the voice just doesn't work!
anybody knows why this happened? thanks.

thanks man, but i have tried this way before, it doesn't work.

when i use Garmin iQue M5(windows mobile 2003), tomtom6.3 works perfect.

Is there a newer version than 6.03? My installation has a Program files/Navigator/Voices folder with a file called collected on the phone. On the SD card there is also a Voices folder with a collected file and two data08 files, one of which is quite large (671kb). Also , the sound is muted if TomTom is launched when there's a data connection.

How about deleting the collected.ini file, I vaguely remember reading that you need to delete this file in both voices directories (making sure tomtom is not running). Then restart tomtom.
Also put the voices file into the program files/navigator/voices directory on phone - I've never had any luck with the voices directory on the storage card, even though my maps are on there??
Sorry if somebody has already suggested this...
Cheers.

Voices are located in sd card root folder "voices", if you have problems try to download voices from tomtom, even if you have a "trial" version i think you can download.

Have you tried rerunning the initial setup wizard- you may be able to reselect the voice you want from the list, then TTN will copy it to the Navigator folder as the data0*.chk file.

In the directory of the map you are using, replace files TRAFFIC.INC and MapSettings.cfg with original versions from these. Make a copy of them first (e.g. as xtraffic.inc and xmapsettings.cfg)
This works for me.
You will loose references to favorites, home, etc.
I hope this helps.

thanks everyone here, appreciate for your help.
the way from CRH66 doesn't work. but thanks all the same.
MJ, i have to say, i have the right files in vovics folder, and it is in the root directory, i also put them in program files/navigator/voices
not very clear about Benzin's method use which file to replace the one your mentioned?
i will try NeilM's trick later, then i will let u know what happed. cheers

Each and every map directory contains cline.dat, cname.dat, etc, and also the two files I mentioned. These two files are updated each time you use TomTom. Sometimes they become corrupted and TomTom looses the voice. You need to replace them with an earlier version that works. Copy them from another installation (a friend, emule, etc.) and substitute the ones you have.
Sometimes just deleting/renaming them and making a soft reset may work.
I insist, this works for me. If this does not solve your case, there is information in other fora about the deletion of a file in the windows directory. I tried this before without success.
Sound has a big bug in TomTom 6.030

... late
Thanks for the information in the first post. I hope this solves completely the issue.

The latest version is 6.03. What sound bug - never had a problem myself.

No sound bugs in tomtom 6.03
As far as i know, the latest release of TOMTOM 6.03 contains no bugs voices.
Well the main and best thing, would be better u unisntall your soft completely from your mobile with activesync, "off your mobile completely for 1mn" then reinstall the soft again again.
better to try something than not to try anything.

The Thread Starter has now updated his 1st post to say the problem is fixed!
AFAIK there is no problem with the older versions of TTN and the Trinity, nor with 6.03 and voices, but certainly installing TT Home often helps because it allows the configuration to be managed.

NeilM, i completely aggree with u. there is no bug in ttn6.03.
and i think i have found the point.
when i install ttn6.03 and it's voices into my Garmin iQue M5(WM2003se),it works perfect. Then i install the same program and voices into my Trinity(WM6), the problem comes, no sound!
After downloading the new voice files via Tomtom home, i found there are different voice files for WM2003se and WM6. The voices for WM6 are a lot bigger than the one for WM2003se!!!
It means the same voice files will work for WM2003se but not for WM6!
All those people who have this voice problem should update their voice files

custom rom: phone doesn't ring, sms works ok

Hey,
I made a base rom for the Trinity(based on fake 20000 build), 'everything' works nice and really really fast, got 90MB free Storage(89.44), 34MB(33.95) free Ram after boot and it boots in 24 secs, which is nice.
But some apps which depend on phone do not start(I think), like calendar, contacts, and the phone itself( the device turns itself on on incoming call). Tasks returns "No Program memory available...". Backlight settings, Clear Storage don't start. Device Info isn't populated.
Wireless plugin and phone icon(which displays: T! ) on the title bar both show "No Service".
SMS is working, and I can open the Phone settings, select the network etc.
Can anyone give me a help here? Any idea of what I may have deleted and shouldn't have?
( Can't connect through activesync and pressing power for 5 secs doesn't shutdown the device too, after confirming the busy icon shows up but nothing happens lol )
Since the idea was to create a base rom as clean as possible, I removed:
- almost all htc apps, even the camera(random access, task manager, dialer, comm manager, audio manager, media hub, etc)
- .net & sqlce
- all help files
- arcsoft mms
- office(incl onenote)
- more small bundled apps
cleaned initflashfiles( I know the invalid entries cause no prob, but I did it anyway )
thx in advance

did you remove all the dll and exe from within their folder for exsample in baseapps you have several folder named something like caldll.dll or beam.exe
but inside these folders are some files imageinfo.bin imageinfo.text and some s000 s0001 and the dll or exe file try to remove all these dll and exe that are inside folder like these then when you are finished use the G´Reloc from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331094
hopefully this will help but maybe when you removed the htc dialer it had some dll that are needed to solve all the problems you have with the phone

@gullum
I edited the dump directly, didn't use package tools, and I deleted both the file and the folder, but didn't use G'Reloc, I'll rebuild the rom using package tools and G'Reloc then.
Will also do some tests to see if the problem lies in the registry, or missing files.
Thanks for your reply.

1) you should use package tool
2) remove files that you want to remove
3) use G'relock only when you need to port another build
btw. Probably you've deleted many usefull files.

Thanks for your reply, that's what I'm doing now. I'm almost positive I didn't remove anything essential.. but perhaps I have, I used cabs and oem packages to know what to remove, using package tools on the dump doesn't give me the reg entries(unless I'm missing something), and consecutive edits of the rom will leave a LOT of junk on the registry, initflashfiles and filesystem.
update: I think I removed the phone canvas( phcan*.dll ), thought it was only used by that skin, but since it's being listed as missing from SYS\OEMAPPS.. then again, officeres is also under that same entry lol.
Thanks again to everyone who's helping.

Help With TomTom

Right so i have my Touch HD and i have installed TomTom 7 following instructions:
bmcconalogue said:
Can't help you with the freeware (aside from Google Maps, and the missus reading the instructions out loud, or maybe a map!)
To get TTN7 working (this is legally):
Go to this thread to get the link to 7.915 which works on the Touch HD.
In case you haven't installed stuff before:
Connect your Touch HD via ActiveSync
Copy the cab file to your touch (anywhere, I keep cabs I'm gonna install in a folder on microSD card)
On your HD click the cab to open and follow the instructions. I installed to the microSD card and it works fine, but people on here have said it works installed on the device too - whatever floats your boat)
Try running TomTom to check it works (you'll get a warning about having no maps, but it should give you the option to download a mall city map. I got the London map which only took a few seconds to download).
I'd then unplug the HD for the moment. Download the latest version of TTHome (this always give the latest version)
Before connecting your Touch you have to doctor TTHome to recognise the HD. Thanks to Noiz for helping me out here:
Go to C:\Program Files\TomTom HOME 2\xul\chrome and paste this over the contents.
Now you can plug your HD into your PC and TTHome will recognise it.
Finally in TomTom Home or the website buy the maps you want (the USA maps are still down for TTN7 last time I checked, but you can get full Europe, and lots of others still, and traffic and speed camera subscriptions).
Once you've bought them they'll appear in TTHome. It shouldn't (after the Noiz fix) say the map isn't compatible, but it won't install it. It should let you download it, it will go to the download directory (you can set that in TTHome options). Simply go there, extract the zip file to the root of your storage card with a folder the same name as the zip file. Extract the cab file that begins activation in the same folder.
You can now download new cars, voices, mapshare updates, speed camera subscriptions.
Sorry if I've written any of this wrong, in front of a different machine with none of this installed so doing it all from memory and glancing at bookmarked pages.
(None of this work is my doing, I have just got some hints from people on the way and combined it onto one post). All thanks to them!

so i have got to the part where i have added my free map, but i have a quick question before i continue - can i move the maps i have downloaded to a new memory card or will i have to redownload / buy them?
as im using a 512mb card at moment as mine didnt arrive with its 8gb card

you should be OK using a different card, because TomTom uses Device ID (switching Phones wouldn't work) not Card ID
anyone know differently?

okay thank you for the help - i just wanted to make sure before i go any further

[Q] TomTom Navigator 7

I have a new copy of TomTom Navigator 7 and want to use it on my HTC HD Mini. It was supplied on a 4GB card but as I've got a 16GB card installed in the phone I've copied the contents over.
Originally I fitted the memory card they sent me into the phone but it kept reporting that this version was not compatible with this phone.
How did others manage to get this working on the HD mini...

Roy_s
If you use "search feature", you'll find a lot of post about Tomtom...
The official version is not compatible with HDmini, you have to look for another software version, modified...

Thanks for the reply, I did read some of the other posts but thought that they had managed to get the new version to work. I've used an older version (WM5) on an older HTC phone for a few years. The HD mini being the newer 6.5 you'd have thought it would work and still be compatible........

Roy_s
Like you , i've been disappointed to notice that Tomtom is unable to sell a correct version for a new mobile like HDmini while you can find one easily on the net .
I have asked them about this without correct answer at that moment !

I did the same, they can't even say when it will be tested or even if it is on the list to be tested with this phone.
I've since found the file ttn7.917.9186_vga_black.cab and will try running that to see if it then allows me to run the installation.

If im right, im still using this version succesfully:
TTN_7.916.9192_QVGA_black_fixed_BT
You need the QVGA version with the Bluetooth fix, or else you will get errors.

Yes did see a post about TTN_7.916.9192_QVGA_black_fixed_BT but someone reported the GPS lagged. Have tried to search for that file but can't find a site that allows me to download it.
Still need to confirm the installation steps, do I run the cab first then install Navigator 7 or are there other files that I need to copy over..?

No problem, I have purchased the latest Navigator 7 from TomTom, just need help from everyone to get their software working.....

The cab is Navigator 7 (TTN=TomTom Navigator). I can't imagine you can't find the file after a thorough google search...
Yes, there is some GPS lag. This can be solved by installing GPSmod driver:

Tomtom7 working perfectly in hd mini.
Hello, is more 'than a year I use tomtom 7 - although I prefer (IGOPRIMO1.2) per hour with only ris.480X272 - TTS, but much more detailed than the TomTom. I'm leaving screenshot .... screenshot4 in particular. Here's the data that I use TOMTOM WORKING PERFECTLY! Else can not .........
P.S. my vers. not to install but copy / paste to SD card. Start navigator.exe.

The only copy is on a Dutch share site that you need to be a member to download, tried a number of variations of the name but nothing labelled as BT fix.
So I tried ttn7.917.9186_vga_black.cab which I loaded to the phone memory. It found my map on the memory card and it asks for the activation code but then returns message saying its not valid..?
It's a legal map (Western_Europe_1GB) & code I purchased so should not be a problem.
Maybe I should delete all of the files that TomTom sent me on the SD card and just put the map on there in case their Navigator 7 files are causing the problem.

In fact .... I tried that (cab) you say ..... but does not work. You have to find a zip file, where there is only one folder. you just have to (COPY IN SD CARD) exe = navigator.exe. no installation on device! Then you have to validate your map.
p.s.To run you must first validate the MAP. by the code of your device you need the code for tomtom. the code of the device (it IDENTIFYING YOUR PHONE) is one that I deleted on screenshot4.

Thanks for the reply, I'm not sure I understand fully.
The cab I have loaded (ttn7.917.9186_vga_black.cab) you say does not work, which one did you use & where can I get it?
I can't find any file called navigator.exe either in the phone or on the memory card or the SD card that TomTom sent me.

Hello. You can not tell you more, because it violates copyright laws ......
I try to make you understand:
1. tomtom program:
time ago I tried (ttn7.917.9186_vga_black.cab) but I had problems .... then turning the net I found a file.zip. Inside a folder (Navigator). if you find that you just file.zip estract in sd card root. start *. exe. The version that I use are in screenshot4.
2 then you have to unlock the MAP,
ie have the license (serial number that you derive from your serial device). Your serial device appears when you start tomtom for the first time. (registration map).
I hope you understand.

Thanks for the reply, my version is a purchased copy from TomTom so I'm not violating anything I'm just trying to get it to work. The steps I've done so far are:-
Loaded TomTom 7.916.9192 QVGA black bt.cab
> Bttrayce error reported at boot up, deleted files BtCoreIf.dll & BtSdkCE30.dll, rebooted phone
> No error message
> Run Navigator, "Western_Europe_1GB map has not been activated" message
> Entered code from TomTom, message to say "Activating"
> Error "Activation failed. Sorry this is not a valid map activation code for Western_Europe_1GB"
The map is valid, it was supplied on a memory card with the activation code by TomTom, I have only copied the map to the memory card in the phone, none of the other files on the card supplied by TomTom.
I seem to have got over the Navigator installation problem but can't get the map to activate...? Its like this cab is not compatible with the latest map I have.

I have got TomTom v7 working on the HD mini.
As this was a purchased copy I contacted TomTom support and they manually activated the map, I loaded their activation file and all working.
I have noticed a little lag, not by much, but if I compare to an older phone running TomTom my new version seems to be 10 to 20 meters behind....?
Is this the GPS lag that others have pointed out, is there a latest patch to correct this...?
Not tried the home application yet either.
