Tom Tom Navigator

[bomber1970]

Hi, I have an XDA Mini S and would like to have Tom Tom Navigator on it. Being very new to this and a bit of a technophobe, can anyone tell me how to get it on my phone? Thanks. :)

1) Buy it for your device
2) Read the manual that comes with it
3) Install it as per manual.

Ok, thanks. So its made for specific devices? Sorry to ask stupid questions but i am a girl!! lol

It is that easy - Honest!

I had 'trial' version, purely for evaluation purposes you understand (ahhem!) once i got that working i went out and purchased a legitimate version - actually i bought it off e-bay along with a BT-GPS unit.

There are soooooooooooo many contradicting stories about compatibility of TTN5 with XDA mini s - two contradicting stories come from TomToms' own website!!!

try it - it does work

Thanks so much for your help! Where can i get a trial version from? I've just browsed ebay for the actual software and its quite pricey, so it waould be great to check it out first! :D

I purchased the software and reciever the other day, installed it and it works GREAT! I do agree it is a little pricey though. It is easy to install.

Anyone know where to get a trial version? I'd like to see how much I'd use it before spending an arm and a leg! lol

Glad it works well on there though, I love the phone and am slowly customising it to exactly how i want it.

Tom Tom don't do "trial" versions hence the " (ahhem!) "

.. and for the sake of this forum - please don't ask for a hacked version.

TomTom works just fine on a Wizard, most of the issues you'll read about are from people with hacked copies.

You do , however, have to watch out and ensue that you only install it on 1 pda/phone. The registration code it then "tied" to that pda in particular and if you change/upgrade pda's then it will not re-activate with the same code.. TomTom will have u sending them copies of receipts (for the new phone) etc - just to get a new activation code. It took me about 7 emails and just as many days to get mine re-activated when I switched from a XDAIIs (blue angel) to this Wizard.

There are cheaper sat nav programs out there though..

Whats one of them??? :shock: :? :lol:

You need a BT-GPS - BlueTooth Global Positioning System receiver so that the TomTom software knows where you are.

The receiver uses geo-stationary satellites to calculate your lat and lon co-ordinates. You have to use a bluetooth version with the XDA as there are no external com ports for a wired antenna.
