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.

Has anyone noticed that Tomtom 2.24 has problems with WM2003 on the XDA, after it's been run it gets rid of the small dot's used to select items (such as the ones next to On, Off, Vibrate on the Volume menu of the today screen) has anyone got a work around for this ? Only a soft reset seems to bring them back :!:

Never had any problem with my xda.....
Running Tomtom version 2.24 on my own cooked German ROM 4.00.33 .

There is no need to downgrade to 2002.
Just upgrade to TomTom 2.04 and GPS 2.08, format your SD Card and re-install the maps. Try to start without any additional POI files.
This should fix your problem.
After this, the TT 2 was running fine on my MDA with the 4.0.33 german ROM.

Upgrade to 2.04 ? But I am already using 2.24 :?: :?
My Dad has just got an XDA aswell, he's running the same rom as me (4.01.00 no extra cooked bits) and 2.24 with GPS 2.08 does the same on his.

I have the same problem on my MDA II, even after the ROM 1.60 upgrade: sometimes radio buttons and/or checkboxes just disappear. I don't think this is specific to TomTom, as I saw the same thing happen also while running other programs. It is also not reproducable, most of the time TomTom just works fine.
Doesn't bother me much though, as a soft reset is a matter of seconds.

I found that tomtom 2.05 and gps 2.09 is the best marriage. Tomtom 2.24 does have some bugs such as after planning a journey it takes ages to go to the navigator map.

Is that with WM2003 ?
Tomtom's site states 2.24 adds PocketPC 2003 support but to be honest is didn't even try tomtom 2.05 i just upgraded it straight away.
Cheers
Neil
where did you get the upgrade from?

Just put GPS 2.09 on and its nice to have the bar on the Today screen to launch tomtom, we'll have to wait and see if the problem with disappearing buttons still occurs, but it's been OK so far :wink:

I did not persevere with WM2003, it seemed to be very flaky on my XDA, I am sticking with XDA dev rom 1.2.
Swifty,
Many thanks. This has really got rid of alot of the bugs.
Does anyone know a url of a UK map update. The packaged map doesnt know alot of roads built over 18 months ago
Ashby
i followed all the examples bu i still had the missing radio buttons.
i tried every combo of updates and GPS versions. so i have kept the lastest versions.
however i have found a way to stop it occuring. it seems that the radio buttons only disappear after you launch the GPS software. i have avoided launching it and have used tomtom for a while now and the radio buttons have remained there.
Ashby, I dont thin tomtom do map updates as such, they release the new maps when the next version is released.
Yes, I kind of figured that. They hint on their website that map updates will be available when there data supplier gives them new data, but I suspect that they never will release an update and force you to by Navigator 3.
Bad show really.
A cool feature would be map editior, that way users can add new roads/ modify road layouts etc
Ashby
I purchased the Navigator USA version about 8 months ago and just last month TomTom sent me an email stating that map updates would be available soon. I followed a URL in the email and signed up for the updates and within a week I has seven new cd's that contained all the updated maps.
I don't have any complaints.
It must just be the UK!
never had a prob with tomtom v2.24 on v4.00.11 on v4.01.00 it took bluddy ages to load up and it hanged loads. but now that im on vA.30.07 it is a hell of a lot faster then v4.00.11 and seems alot better
Radio Buttons
Another confirmation on the radio buttons problem with TomTom. The problem is still there even with the latest version (2.24 & GPS 2.19).
But, I have been able to trace the bug down a bit. Can't prove it, but maybe others can confirm:
It seems the problem is related to the GPS-S/W. Whenever I change anythin on the configuration there, I lose the radio buttons until I do a soft reset. SPecifically when you change the COM-port, you lose the buttons.
We've been doing some GPS/NMEA S/W development around the serial ports ourselves. WM2003 has some ugly bugs in this area, such as hanging when you try to open a port that isn't configured or active).
But, as Microsoft points out: Its not a bug, its a feature (verify that the soft reset button still works)!! ;-)
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.
Hi, Does anyone know if the tomtom 5 upgrade will need request for activation code to go on a new xda2i,or will it activate itself?
(Have ordered a new one while waiting for upgrade to arrive)
Thanks all..
All maps need to activation.. But there is a cracked .exe which enables you to run tomtom without activating all the maps.
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

Is all of this free for the lobby or do you have to purchase some of it?

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??
Hi guys
could any one please be so kind as to help me with a problem im having.
i have a spv m5000 on orange which i have change the mother board over with a o2 exec mother board running windows mobile 6.1 seems to be working fine no issues however i have tried to pair both my gps units with it but to no avail, i have a Holox BT-541 and a navicore BT-GPS-32354D i have tried both of them and have same problem,
my xda see's them and adds them fine but when i try to connect to one in the xda it says unable to connect or wrong passkey i have used 0000 for holox which thats what it says in the holox pdf but have also tried 1234 but i think this is a com port problem i have tried all com ports some will go in ok but still cant connect to gps i also tried this "go into TomTom and use the NMEA devices with baud rate of 38400" this did not work, before i changed mother board i had these working fine on older tomtom and original spv m5000 mother board so i dont know if this is a win mobile 6.1 problem or not i see quite a few people with same problem but no solution that worked for me any way.
i have seen thred taking about pairing before tomtom installation but not sure that will fix my issue as i think i tried to pair before i installed any way.
has any one any ideas on this any help would be really appreciated this is getting to be a pain in the rear!.
also there is an icon in the system tab "external gps" can any one tell me the correct settings in there ie for program tab and hardware tab what com port and baud rate should be and whether the manage gps auto should be ticked
many Thanks in avance for any help you can give here.
Kind regards
Daz
Ok found solution,
after spending way too much time on this crap! I finally found the issue as I stated I thought
it was a mobile 6.1 issue and I was right, in mobile 6.1 they have added a external GPS shortcut
in system tab it is here the problem exists.
my problem was resolved by the following procedure.
On your XDA go to Start/Settings/Connections click on Bluetooth short then add new device once it has found it
enter passkey 0000 or whatever yours is once it has made the first connection then do the following,
1. Under "device tab" click on your unit and make sure the serial port is "UNCHECKED" disabled then click save.
2. Under "Mode tab" make sure (Turn on blue tooth) and (Make this device visible to other devices) are "CHECKED" enable them.
3. Under "COM ports" select a port, I chose 0 don't think it matters but if so chose another but remember what one you choose.
4. Under "Security tab" Authentication (passkey) required "CHECK" enable it click ok to come out of Bluetooth.
5. Under "System tab" click on "External GPS short cut.
6 Under "Programs tab" select (None) for GPS program port.
7. Under "Hardware tab" select port 0 or same as you gave your Bluetooth com port and issue the "Baud rate" 115200 or lower rate.
8. Under "Access tab" Manage GPS automatically (recommended) "CHECK" enable
9. Finally check your xda is blinking a blue light and turn on your tom-tom software it should now pick it up, all done.
Final note it seems that Microsoft have made one more buggy operating system, no change there then LOL
and as a result you can't seem to use the blue tooth pairing process as intended so this is a working work around
one more thing there is a 2nd bug found and that is when you turn off your GPS unit and try to use your xda you might
find that your last page froze up here you will have to mess around with it i.e. try turning off your tom-tom software first
and then your GPS, Thanks to bill gates for yet another windows operating system that doesn't work as advertised.
Well we had Hendrix king of rock, Marley king of reggae, Elvis king of rock'n'role then there's you bill gates king of crap!
Long live the king!!!!! LOVL
A big thank you goes' out markanthonypr on xda-developers for pointing this out, nice one m8
