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

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, i have installed tomtom 5.0 but i cant pair my gps bluetooth(sysonchip). I worked with tomtom3.x and 4.x. When i launch tomtom and try to setup the gps, i only can bound with com2, 6, and 9. Any idea?
I have had the same problem with TomTom and Oncourse Navigator 4.2, I believe it is an incompatibility problem with WM2005. I tried using the built-in GPS manager in WM2005, but I do not think it is working in this version, or it will only work with newer GPS porgrams compatible with 2005.
Solved¡¡¡
The problem is TomTom list only the ports that appears in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active but when you create an outgoing port (with the BT applet), it isnt included in this list. I ve create a little C program (5 kb) that include the port com5 manually, so Tomtom can see it and you can Select it. I ve put a link to this program in windows\startup to be executed after each reset. Now it works ))
If someone need it i can post it....
YES! Post it here, please ...
Thanks in advance.
Hi, This is the way it worked for me.
1) Create a outgoing port (5) to connect with the gps
2) Place the patch in \windows\startup (to be executed each time you reboot).
3) Reset the device.
4) Run tomTom, select "other gps bluetooth". Then you should see "Port 5".
If you need a diferent port tell me and i will recompilate the program or i will post the source code.
tomtom 5 doesn't install, program crashes.. tried 2 install the cabs... only ttn.cab gives a failure on install, the other cabs installed corectly.
how did you install 5?

dherrero, you are a genius! This has been driving me insane.
I have just downloaded your patch and sprinted to my car to try it and it worked immediately!
You are wellcome.....

tnx , works great!!
Brilliant!
Strangely enough, the patch still keeps working if you run this patch once, then delete it.
Doesn't look like you need to put it in your windows\startup directory.
yep, when tomtom bounds to the gps in port 5 (or other) it retains the port number.
Anyway keep the patch in your sd card (or other safe place)because you may need it if tomtom "forgets" the port
If i install it from the CD, the setup is crashing
If i copy the .cab "ttn.CAB" (2.58 mb) and copy it to the device and open it he say's: "Unpacking was unsuccesful"
Someone?

Hi,
I'm trying to install TomTom5 on WM2005. When I start TomTom's setup.exe I choose language and after that "install the application" choice. It shows me list of software which will be installed on my device (TomTom, GPS, Today, Bleutooth Support, English - Jane (GB)). After clicking right arrow I get error message "TomTom Setup Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." and setup won't go any further. Has anybody else had similar problems with installing?
You need to copy the cab files over to the PDA and run them from there.
then follow this link

Followed your instructions and got TomTom installed. But now it's tomtom navigator.exe crashing. Doesn't TomTom have support for wm2005? Would be nice to know if there'll be patch to make installation with setup.exe work without crashing. Meanwhile my only chance seems to be to downgrade back to wm2003se.
Do you have the legal version of tomtom?
I used the illegal (couldn't wait for my update) and needed to install/run tomtom 4 on my pda before running tomtom 5; otherwise it would crash after selecting a map.
I had the problem with TomTom crashing, caused by the version of WM2005.. Now using Rom Version as 1.50g.00WWE, and all is ok
As for the version of tomtom yes im using the illegal version orderd the real thing on the 4th June.. and I'm still awaiting for it to drop through the postbox.. tomtom support page claims it still in the warehouse! although I now see i have been billed :x
Please can anyone send me the dreaded patch for my ipaq 3115 / bt77 gps receiver that wll let me use tom tom 5.
thanks in anticipation.
Dave
is it this one ? I'm not sure....
Ipaq port 5 problem using BT77 gps receiver
Thanks for the patch. I have run this file but unfortunately it did not help.
I have run this file over a previous patch I had downloaded from the forum. Although they have different file names the message displayed was that I had already update the tom tom application and did I want to reinstall which I did.
Am I doing something wrong? The patch I think I need is the one that goes into the ipaqs startup folder.
I have tried all of the other fixes i have found with no success.
I use this one for my MDA II, it also makes com 5 visible to TT5. Maybe it works on ipaq ?
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

I agree - it is much more reliable like that.

?? 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.

if i don´t have sd card the tomtom 6.030 don´t works ??? i installed on microdrive but don´t find the maps ???? any idea??? thanks
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?
