I have installed Tom tom V2 and Checkpoint 3.2
Everything works a treat but I want to add some POI's of my own because other people haven't added them yet. Apparently you assign a button in Checkpoint to do this and I can't get it to work. By pressing the assigned button, the screen just sits there and does nothing.
I know there are 4 buttons to choose from (within Checkpoint) so can anyone take my hand and guide me through this? I've tried (I think) every alternative but to no avail.
Cheers
Keith
From what I can remember, ( its been a while since i used this feature)
Once you have pressed the button to record a POI you then have to got to the Recorded POI on the menu to edit the details
Thanks for that and I've tried to set this up so that pressing the assigned button brings up the menu. However, the menu doesn't come up. The screen just sits there as if nothing has happened.
I just wondered if there was something I needed to know which was pecular to the XDA? I have tried the different button settings within Checkpoints setup and I've also defaulted the XDA's buttons. Still no go.
Help

I've had the XDA and Tom Tom and Checkpoint working together fine for a while now, so it does work.
I've just (yesterday) got the XDA II and just installed Tom Tom 2.24 and Checkpoint 3.2 last night the thing I did notice was that the buttons that Checkpoint 3.2 thought 1, 2, 3 and 4 were linked to bared no resemblance to what they actually were (i.e. I think button 3 was called calendar, but on the XDA II it was actually the camera button)
Try selecting button 2 and then running through all the avable options until one works. Note you will need to have the GPS connected and Tom Tom running to try this effectively.
Hope this helps :?:

XDAII and XDA
The magic phrase that got it to work was
Note you will need to have the GPS connected
Doh!!!!
Now it works... Cheers

ive got a problem with tomtom ver 2.0 on my xda.
I can only add 1 fav. location which is home...
now when I try to add further location by pressing down and highlighting this location to be added to the fav's nothing happens.
I have checked that its not my software by installing it on my compaq Ipaq and I can add as many fav's as I want but on the xda it will allow only 1 !!!
Any clues/ ideas or know problems.
solution .....perhaps
gotot the find tab from the navigator menu serrch for the address you want to add as a favourite - once it is displayed on the map tap hold release and then in the menu box click add to favourites.... hope this helps
that got it working now
cheerz..
can i install my tomtom in my other pda?
i mean is it the sn can use more than one time
Tom Tom requires activation for each device when it's first installed and you can activate a new device every 6 months. So yes you can but you need to wait 6 months after you first activate before you can reactivate.
I´m waiting for my new tomtom3 uk maps and sofware only
but I will be changing my laptop within a month
are you saying that if I install my tomtom in my laptop I wont be able to install it in again in about 3 weeks to my new future laptop until 6 months?
I wasnt aware that TOMTOM ran on laptops, I thought it was a pda only program, if you mean can you install TOMTOM to your old pda using a new laptop then yes you can, it only needs a new activation code if you get a new pda.
Hi,
Have just got my Navman and was hoping it would be a simple solution to connect to my XDA, but not so.
I've down loaded the BTHTools1012.exe and run it from my desktop, also have loaded EnableCharPin.exe onto my PocketPC.
When I do a bond bluetooth, it finds the Navman. When the passkey dialog box comes up I run EnableCharPin.exe but nothing seems to happen, so enter "NAVMAN" into orginal dialo box.
With the next step linking the COM port I only get Comm 7 as being avavible and when I run the Bluetooth settings from Inbound port is COMM4 but uncheck and Outbound is COMM5 checked. When start is pressed it says that need to bond.
Could some please help
XDA info is:
ROM: 1.60.00WWE the latest for Australia
ROM date: 12/3/03
Radio: 1.08.00
Protocol: 1337.18
ExtROM: 1.60.44
I also loaded SmartST V2 and it ran first time fast. Now it seams at the point of the PPC hanging. I,ve got the maps on a SD card (512M with about 235M free) and 24M for storage and 33M for programs on the XDA. I loaded 3 state maps totalling about 52M on the SD.
Thanks Gordon
Did you unbond and delete your navman before you installed the bluetooth tools?
I had Bt tools installed before I attempted to bod.
I have now also deleted BT Tools altogther but still cannot bond.
I must admit that just after my first post here I did notice that my XDA was not set to recieve "incoming beams". Activating this did not do a thing even with resets.
Thanks for your thoughts and have you got any other suggestions apart from me ring Navman on Monday (I'm in Sydney OZ).
Thanks Gordon
Its a tricky process, but mine is finally working with an XDA II, no blutooth tools and on COM 5. You definately need to DESELECT 'Receive all incoming beams" as if you are set to receive incoming beams, then it seems to interfer with the GPS set up and COM ports
Try selecting COM 5 as the port on the Navman and amke sure that "incoming beams are OFF" on the XDA.
I suggest you start over, uncheck the beams box, install bthtools, install enablecharpin, discover and bond the navman, let us know what happens.
Hi,
Well I did something along the lines of "start over, uncheck the beams box, install bthtools, install enablecharpin, discover and bond the navman" etc but not neccessarily in that order and finally got the thing to work.
Thanks for everyones comments. If I had not tried so many permitation, then I could heve been able to tell all what I actually did!
Now that the SmartST is working, my next task is to use topographic maps wth one of teh follwoing I'm about to try, GarmapCE, GPSDash, PSeasyCE etc. Any suggestions?
Gordon
Glad you got it working in the end. I really like the Navman Smart ST 2 software and their tech support is very good to.
You might check out "MapTech" for topo maps and nautical charts. You can purchace CD's or a subscription that lets you download unlimited maps and charts. If you play golf, and you want to use your GPS to help you pick a club or find out the distance to that bunker in front of the green, "Star Caddy" is fun too!!
Be sure to do a backup now its configured correctly, it may save some hair pulling later if you ever have to hard reset.
I spent ages trying to get TomTom 6 working and gave up, so instead thought i would use google to help me to get the latest maps working. They don't work though. Except for one which is new and does work on TomTom Mobile 5.20. Don't know why but its the only one, if you found another new one that works, post it here.
UK and IE plus major roads of WE-Map v660.1223
no need for TomTom 6 now!
they wont work becuase the new maps are teleatlas maps v675
the old ones are navteq v660
tomtom 6 doesnt work due to the screen res on phone
UK and IE plus major roads of WE-Map v660.1223 does work with TomTom 5.20 because thats what I use.
SO use TomTom 5.20 and the maps: UK and IE plus major roads of WE-Map v660.1223
thats the best you can get on this phone

I thought I found that TT6 didn't work because I couldn't get it to select the GPS, I couldn't find any way to get it to select the com port for the GPS at the bottom of the list of available com ports.
Tom Tom 6 does work on this phone.
Add the GPS device in Bluetooth manager to COM6. Make sure secure connection is off. Now use 'fakecursor' in TomTom6 to select com6. The devices will be paired and you can now turn secure connection back on in the bluetooth manager. Map 'fakecursor' to the camera button on the side of the phone. It will make Tomtom6 easier to use because you have instant access to the cursor when needed. When you disable fakecursor, it exits to the homescreen, but tomtom is still running, so just click ok button on the quick launch icon and it will take you where you last where in tomtom.
I couldnt get this combination to work the 5.20 freezes as it looks for the maps, havent even tried to set up bluetooth on it yet.
Does TomTom Mobile 5 work on this phone? I just get a garbled screen when I run the application. Do I need to get 5.2??
After flashing the phone to schaps 4.22 hermes rom the voice dial button (button 5) does absolutely nothing. Schaps has written that it is mapped to advanced task manager but this does not start either. Nor can button 5 be mapped to anything else.
Is is a bug or a classic user error?
yes, I have noticed the same problem with my phone too.
MMM, you might need the PPT fix if your using PTT.
If your trying to use Voice dial, Its not in the rom
If you read through the thread where the Rom is located, there are actually two different fixes for it... Both are supposed to do the same, but only one works without any additional side effects... They are the Sleuth's PTTFix cabs... As I said, there are links to two different ones in the thread, I don't feel like looking for them now, but they are both there... the second one doesn't give any errors upon soft reset and works fine...
Happy Hunting...
is there a Registry key(s) to view to check or make this button access the Phone or the functions of Dial? It stopped working on my last upgrade to 6.5, and I thought it was a problems with the new OS. I have now reverted back to 6.1 and it still doesn't work. I can't answer the phone with this hard button and I cannot bring up the dialer either. I have made the green phone button another button using HButton, and I made the green button access the Calculator using AEButton Plus. The calculator does not come up when the button is pushed, but I can make the phone come up, but not dial. This may be related to a problem when I do Phone Code Data ##3282#. The phone goes to EPST then quickly goes to the dialer so I can't do any troubleshooting. I posted this to ppcGeeks too. Help Please

My friends phone did this, all on it's own, nothing had been installed or flashed for at least 6 months prior, the button does just wear out. He called DTS support at USCC and they replaced it for free, depends on your carrier and whether it's still under warranty or not.
