I was also having the same trouble with the installer. Setup.exe kept on crashing. So I resorted to installing the program off the pda.
What you need to do is copy the following files to the pda:
wzd.cab
voice.cab
ttn.cab
gps.cab
Then run each one off the pda and the program should then be installed.
To install the maps just go through the setup to install it onto the storage card.
Oh and if you encounter the backlight problem whilst running Tomtom then you will need to press the "Red Disconnect Call Button" so it can be minimized, you will then need to go into the backlight settings and readjust them accordingly.
Good Luck!
when instal 4.40 i wont take my key
any suggestions ?
yeah, you could buy it instead.
any solution for backlight problem with tomtom 4.40 ?
Problem of backlight
Explore Cd Tomtom 4.40 to go in the folder voice then to take the files voice04.cab and voice05.cab (are the English voices UK) Initially to put it to Program Files for example then to launch the cab since to this folder (Program Files) in your pocket PC
Voice11 and Voices12 (are the french voices)
This procedure corrects the problem of backlight
what do you mean ?
if you install a voice the backlight problem is gone ?
In my case that corrected the problem
I had this problem of backlight
During installation of files wzd.cab ttn.cab gps.cab
and for my part after to have installed the file voice 11 and Voice 12 .cab (women and men french voices) the backlight error disappeared
That was the good solution in my case
The backlight is automatically returned and work good after voice.cab installation
So I suppose that the 4 cab files describes above must be all present so that tomtom 4.40 run correctly
But it's not the same problem for everyone

TomTom 4.4 filestructure
Hi,
First: thanks Nightspider and Dherrero for your tips!
it's hard working, but thanks to your tips TomTom 4.4 is beginning to work
on my XDAII.
I had to put the Benelux.CAB on the Storagecard. Only then it would install.
But I've ran into another problem, it says now "no maps found"
I suspect this have to do with the name and/or the place where you put
the directory with the maps. Can anyone who has a working TomTom 4.4
tell me the exact names of the directory, where the are and what files are in them?
TIA
Re: Dutch Voice Cab files
Hi Everyone,
When you want Dutch language you need to install the following cabs
voice14.cab = "Bram" a male voice
voice15.cab = "Eva" a female voice
voice16.cab = "Nora" i think (not tested)
Now the problem is where to put the Benelux map.
Greetings [email protected]
TomTom 4 Benelux map
I've found it!
Put the Beneluxmap in \Storage Card\.
During executing Beneluc.cab it was stored on
\Storage Card\My Documents\Benelux.
So you have to put the Benelux map in the root of Storage card!
TomTom 4 activation

Sorry,but 4.40 tom tom italian language with wm2005 blacklight doesn't work anyway
I have the same problem like Venom...
We need same help!!
TomTom 4.40
Same problem with the Dutch Language.
Pressing the hangup button and then go to the power settings to chance the backlight, solves the problem for the time being.
But i prefer a solution that works ever time.
Any can help us
Hi,
When coyping cab files across to the pocket pc, all the cab files belonging to TomTom install, except the main TT cab, it just comes up with an error.
Also does anyone knowwhy after installing tomtom voice 4/5 cant be foumd by TOMTOM. i managed to install totom by manually extracting the files from the cab file! except it crash on run, I belive this to do with the fact it odes not fime the voice files?
Using WM2005 as the OS
Cheers
dogo
Where does it crash?
I've installed the cabs on my wm2005 Himalaya and it crashes on first run..
I can select the language, and define the standard settings (km/miles, time notation etc) than I come to the voice part, which also works..
But after activating the map, it crashes.. The strange thing is, it worked when I installed it on OS 1.50f.. After upgrading to 1.50h it doesn't work anymore (even when I downgraded to 1.50f)..
However, I did install Tomtom 4.4 on my 1.50f installation before installing Tomtom5... I'll try it again.. I hope it works.
Tomtom 5 install
I also had to install 4.4 first ( and config it ), and then Tomtom5
Otherwise it would crash when configuring
Hi, Ive just installed TomTom 6.010 on WM6, but I can never get a GPS signal.
If I go to configure my GPS device in TOMTOM, which type of receiver do I select? The NMEA GPS? (I'm assuming this is COM5:9600, too)
Please help lol
Mines set up as:
Other NMEA GPS reciever
GPS Baud Rate 57600
Com 4
and Tomtom 6 works perfectly.
I had to use the tomtom 6 patch listed in an earlier post as my tomtom wouldn't work under Win Mobile 6, have you had to do the same.
It takes 5 to 10 minutes to find GPS signal some times (spesialy for the first time)
On some ROM versions it is immidiate. experiment...
My Com port is 0, but before i pair it with my HTC.
I use original Tom-Tom GPS

Excuse me, but I'm a bit confused...what exactly are you pairing with the HTC? The GPS?
Why are you using external BT GPS instead of the internal one? is it due to low satellite reception?...cause I do this as well, since I have sun shields on my car, and the BT GPS is placed on the shield on a clear location where the reception is much better.
The internal is mapped to Port 4, but actually it is on Port 5.
cheers thanks. works great now
i havent had to update tomtom at all yet, but im not using a particularly kosher version *ahem* (although i do have a tomtom 6 lisence, just not for the maps im using)
If you run QUICK GPS BEFORE opening tomtom it finds the satellites pretty fast (at least for me). If I do not run it tomtom takes a long time to locate the satellites.

you should be using the update 6.030 for TomTom 6 with devices with internal GPS

?? well i have 6.0.10 and it works beside the fact that the menu is not visible (but clicking opens the settings box etc).
The main question i have:
How can i add an additional map manually? I have GB + major roads of WE. I have France maps. Just copying is not enough... so what else can i do?

You should only have to copy the map subdirectory (probably called France for this map) into the root of your SD card and Tomtom will be able to find it.
Location of TomTom 6.x patch for Windows Mobile 6?
A search of this forum does not seem to reveal the location of the latest TomTom Navigator 6.x patch that allows said software that I just purchased to run on my newly purchased x7501, which has the Windows Mobile 6 2.19 ROM code flashed.
What / where is the latest TomTom 6.x patch?
Is there a later, proven, "better" 2.x WM6 ROM available?
Alternately, what tools are used to develop the ROM flash code and application patches?
Thanks,
Tom

If you're looking for tools there is a section within the forum for this and you can also check multiple Wiki pages.
TomTom 6.x works well on my Athena running WM6. Never had to install a patch to get it to work.

To add to that, I normally do not do any settings. I just install after every flash and start the program and leave device near my window and go off to have a coffee. After several minutes it sees the sats, and maps etc. That is it. The rest is automatic the next time I start and goes faster.
Alway s have the maps and voices folders installed (copied) to card.

Its cause your copy of TT6 (6030) isn't correctly hacked to allow the use of the maps you have.. Try another mod/hack
No success
I am having no success installing TomTom Navigator HOME 6.010 on my x7501, which has the 2.19 WM6 ROM flash.
I have unsuccessfully tried twiddling the user interface settings that seem as if they may affect the outcome.
When executed on a laptop running Vista, without WM5torage, the installation program does not recognize the x7501 as a valid installation location. Attempting installation while running WM5torage 1.75 causes a WM5torage hang and the x7501 needs a reset to connect to a laptop running Vista, and results in a "<file name> not found" error message after WM5torage ceases functioning. One file might get copied, most often none get copied successfully.
Installing from various locations and combinations with the ppc cab file results in a "Installation of <cab file> failed" message, to the system, microdrive and/or the 4GB microSDHC card.
Though new to the xda and mobile device space, I am reasonably experienced otherwise. As painful as this might be for both of us, please tell me, step by step, how you successfully installed TomTom Navigator HOME 6.010 onto your x7501. Please do not assume anything, as I have likely missed something simple. I would need to know the versions of software used, e.g. ROM, WM5torage, Navigator.
According to the TomTom web site, Navigator 6 on WM6 is not supported.
Thank you,
Tom
Someone has another version here. You need legal maps to use

I had a similar problem installing the retail/downloaded copy of TomTom onto my device. I called TomTom support and they couldn't figure it out. I eventually figured out where the installation files were, extracted them and moved them over to my SD card. Then I installed them from there without any problem. I asked tech support to document the procedure I implemented to get this done in case they have other people with the same problem. Hope this helps. I'm slammed with work now or else I would look to see which files I used and post the info. I'm sure if you're familiar with installing CABs from the device you'll be able to tinker around a bit and find them. One thing I remember is that I had to extract the CAB on the CD or DVD before I was able to access the actual installation files. The first CAB is the archive and the CABs inside the archive are the installation files.
6.030 officially out-
Actually, Tomtom has officially released this update...
http://www.tomtom.com/support/product.php?ID=1401&Language=4&query=update&FID=6814
Basically, d/l the latest version of TT Home, insert your mem card or connect the device (mem card only 4 Vista), and click the D/L button on the above page.
Then follow the instructions. If it doesn't install, then you can manually pull the
cab file from:
(C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\TomTom\HOME\Downloads).
Then open with Winrar, and extract the ttn.cab file located in the 2577 folder.
Transfer to the card/device, run it, and you should be good to go.
Last note: Palm has an official update available on their site here:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/gps_nav.html
which appears to be the same exact file (same size).
Hope that helps...
hey guys i just want to copy the tomtom map to the microdrive via activesync but when trying to copy cline.dat i have an error what can i do to copy this file to the microdrive?
The newest version of TomTom Navigator supports non touch screen devices.
I stumbled in this information by accident and thought it would be usefull over here.
I've tested it on a HTC StarTrek (qtek 8500 etc) with a WM 6.1 standard ROM and it works like a charm with the newest maps.
No more FakeCursor needed, you can scroll and use numeric keypad.
Version is: 7.915.9196.
Because of slightly warez related.....google is our best friend.
That's nice,
I can't even get it installed on my device. Always says installation unsuccesful.
I also have WM6.1 and same version of Tomtom.
Do you have any ideas?
If you have an older version installed on your device just unzip the new cab on your PC and rename following files:
TOMTOM~1.001 --> TomTom Navigator.exe
0000DATA.002 --> data.chk
Put the 2 renamed files in the same folder as your original installation (overwrite).
This should work.
If you don't have TT on your device, check if it's application unlocked, if not make sure it is and try again.
If nothing works, try to find a TTN 7 version that you don't have to install at all (it does excist) and use the two renamed files from above to upgrade if needed.
pm me if your out of options.
Hope it helps.

Ciao,
thank you very much for this information, i just tryed out TTN7 on my StrTrk with the original WM5 ROM.
It seems, that you need the "BLUE" Version of TomTom Navigator 7, because scrolling in the "Black" Version isn't possible and additonal, hitting the "enter" Button causes a doubleclick.
So TomTom is running and seems to be a lot faster than TTM5.2, especially entering cities now works fine.
Everythings fine so long, BUT TTN7 won't finde my BT-GPS-Mouse: Selecting the mous is similar to TTM'5.2 but I need to choose the Com-Port...but non of the four alternatives work: it should be "Serial over Com1" but TomTom won't connect. I have TTM5.2 still installed...and it works fine with the GPS Reciever...(of course its paired, and on etc...)
Does anyone has an idea or the same prob?
thx

[Q] TomTom Navigator "You have an invalid version of the TomTom application"
Does anyone know WHICH build of TomTom is the "correct" one for the HTC HD2 (or HTC Leo as TomTom sees it)?
I have;
ApplicationVersion=7916
ApplicationBuildNumber=9189
and have tried many others, and whilst they work perfectly on the HD2, TomTom Home simply won't accept any of them as valid.
Hope someone can help!

This version does work good on my HD2...
For TT Home extract and replace file in attachement on your phone
OK...little confused...on my phone or in TT Home on PC? I already tried a new mobile.ddf file in my Home/Resources folder, but it didn't solve the problem.
Copy ddf file in PC folder "Program Files\TomTom HOME 2\Resources\Devices".
Enable Map share in TT in phone.
For me it does work without problems.
Unfortunately not for me. Mind you I think I have device code problems too - when i first installed TomTom Home it worked okay, but now even though I am using the same device I am getting a different serial number - but only very slightly different (it's exactly the same 32-character code, but the one that my account has registered has a "T" in front of it and lower case letters instead of uppercase).
TomTom of course has their stupid "one change in 6 months" rule, so I guess I just have to wait...
TomTom supposedly unlocked my account, but I still can't update it with the new device serial number.
Anyone got any other ideas on how to get aroudn this problem?
Thanks!
Do you have Tomtom installed to your device and not the SD card. I had the same problem untill I reinstalled the Tomtom app to the device, but left the zip folder, voices folder,art folder, and map folder on the SD card. Now Tomtom home works perfectly with my HD2.

*EDIT* Yes it WAS worth a try - R12SRW you are a genius...haven't tried to see if EVERYTHING works yet, but at least the stupid error message hasn't appeared.
*EDIT #2" Seems faultless now - MapShare and speed camera updates automatically found and downloaded...thanks again!
That's worth a try I guess...only problem is the memory on my HD2 is so damned tiny...
Will try it and let you know what happens.
Excellent Advice R12SRW!
I uninstalled TomTom Navigator from my phone as I had it installed to the SD memory card and and reinstalled it with the "Install to Device" option.
Now when I connect to TomTom home I have all the map share updates and other options and that "You have an invalid version of the TomTom application" error message is gone.
Thanks alot
R12SRW's Solution worked for me, I'm smiling again!!!!! Thanks.
Mapshare updates installed and load of previously greyed out options are now available.
Had to reset all options in Tomtom once reinstalled to internal memory but all voices, favourites etc remained available so well happy.
